Lived up to the hype and more! The doubters have nothing to say. :D

Spenok4933d ago

I disagree. While I am only a few lvls in, and cant give it a full review or proper assessment, so far it doesn't have that OMG this is amazing feel.

Though the game looks good, and is fun to play.

Lived up to ALL of the hype for me. And personally, that's all I care about. I get that OMG feeling every time I log in. I'm lv34 and this is GOTY for me currently.

If you were actually following ArenaNet through the five year development process, you'd know that they have made well on 90% of the promises they made. Everything they hyped is there, and I'm loving it. Don't go by the hype of others. Tune that out and listen to the devs when you're waiting on a game. Otherwise you'll be let down every time. sPvP, WvW, and PvE are all what they were promised and a little more.

There will always be nitpickers and naysayers, no matter how fantastical or great a video game may be. It's natural.

(Just going to point out that I stopped playing Tera after the first week. Didn't dig it all. Different strokes.)

Hey man to each his own. Everyone has their own opinions and everything. I am enjoying the game, don't get me wrong, it's just not quite what I've heard about it.

Though you are right about listening to the devs and not the fans, as its always the fans that make the radically ridiculous hype up for a game.

And about Tera, I personally love it. Will be playing it for a long time. But, GW2 is free to play so I will also be playing this lol. Especially since I have RL friends to play with.

Im enjoying it! Worried that the dynamic quests are already very similar at level 15 though

Spenok4933d ago

I am also enjoying it. However so far (only lvl 5) I am enjoying Tera more. But I have a year sub to Tera, and Guild Wars 2 is free lol. So I can easily play both with no problem. When I get farther into GW2 I can give it a better assessment.

But for now GW2 fun, however it is nothing spectacular like the hype said it would be.

Tera has excellent combat (so does gw2) but I found the rest of the game very stale, other than the impressive graphics.

gw2 is in another universe. Its the mmo me and everyone i know have been waiting for.

Who else but me posts GW2 updates 😎 One of the few companies I support, for over 20yrs.

I played it a little years ago. It was fun but I had children after I started playing and gave it up so my wife wouldn’t hate me. I got to 50 and then hung it up

Michiel1989124d ago

Arenanet is doing smthn wrong with marketing, I never once seen an ad for a gw2 expansion and always hear it like this once an expac is already released. Not that I would play it cause I'm a gw1 purist haha

PRIMORDUS125d ago

@Christopher thanks for the fixes.
