Originally posted by Goatgod76 *Originally posted by FlawSGI* *Originally posted by Goatgod76* *Originally posted by FlawSGI* *Originally posted by Goatgod76* *Originally posted by cali59* *Originally posted by Goatgod76* I wouldn't say they fed off the success and went ahead and made it a full blown MMO. GW2 is in every way different than GW1 was except for lore. I'd suggest giving it a brief overview and see if anything they are doing catches your attention. Then I'd suggest getting a drink and a snack because you may be reading a lot more info about it. I didn't care for GW but after taking a peek about a year ago at what they were doing, it has consumed my soul. I watch for every scrap of info now. There are some really good videos on youtube of gameplay as well as overviews and reasons to be interested if you want a quick overview. There is also a thread called everything we know about GW2 in the GW2 section. Good info as long as you don't go too far back in the thread where the asshats have posted a lot of misinformation in their attempts to troll. Good luck Edit: Actually I'll help out. http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/287180 http://w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBC_ig73aMs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBC_ig73aMs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzEqJAg8460 that should be enough. I have looked at all the links you provided and all I have to say is....I officially hate you FlawSGI. Now I have to go look at the official site...dammit. Haha welcome to my world :D Surf youtube for some gameplay vids. I didn't include any of those but there are a lot. Only thing I don't like from what I see so far is the PvP. I have never been big on PvP (Although I do once in a while. Probably about 85% PvE 15% PvP). Wondering if it's going to be a gankfest where I am barely able to enjoy the PvE content. Well when you start reading more into the game you'll find a few things that will probably make you take a pause. PvP won't be one of them since GW2 won't have open world pvp ganksessions. PvP is done orderly in a couple ways and ruining your PvE won't be one of them. To be fair to the OP and others we are kinda sidetracking the thread with GW2 info so I'll leave it at this post. Feel free to pm me if you are looking for a specific piece of info and I'll direct you to what I can. See you there :) RIP Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan and Paul Gray.

As long as I get a chance to try them before release, and that trial does not suck, I plan on preordering both.

It looks like you'll get a big bang for your buck with that one. SWTOR, even if it is just WoW in space, at least it's in space and not ANOTHER fantasy MMO. Bio-ware has had a pretty good track record, so it shouldn't suck too bad. I would absolutely ignore both of them if there was a Sci-Fi MMO with the same mechanics, but not the bugs of SWG pre-NGE.

Guild Wars claimed to have a story driven world while BioWare proves with each content demo video that SWTOR IS a story driven world. to those that think they need alot of friends to do stuff in SWTOR, that is the same in every MMO that is out. other wise you deal with Pick Up Groups. "Possibly we humans can exist without actually having to fight. But many of us have chosen to fight. For what reason? To protect something? Protect what? Ourselves? The future? If we kill people to protect ourselves and this future, then what sort of future is it, and what will we have become? There is no future for those who have died. And what of those who did the killing? Is happiness to be found in a future that is grasped with blood stained hands? Is that the truth?"

These two and possibly up to three more being released in the near future, using the free previews when available, of course. Which one actually "hooks" me is up to the developers. Grab me early and impress me, another screwy rushed-release mess like AoC or WAR's releases will not get the dollars. Too old for this, am I.

Originally posted by Foomerang I planned on buying both, but the more I see of GW2, the less inclined I am to buy. I dunno, its just something about that game that looks kind of, juvenile. GASP. Oh well, if you don't show up to the party, we'll miss you. Well, maybe not every GW2 fan, but I would, and I don't even mean that in a sarcastic way!

This post was a great idea. It shows the spread of enthusiasm indicated by users of these forums.

It wasn't exactly a completely original idea, but I think there is still value to it. There was a poll about what game are you more "hyped" for, but it didn't really give people the option to say they were really planning to get BOTH games. That poll was pretty old as well, and opinions can change. I also think the "what would you buy" is more to the point. People speak with their wallets.

SWTOR. Already preordered. GW1 never did anything for me. I doubt GW2 will be much different.

Im almost certainly going to grab a copy of GW2 at some early point after release. I see no reason to preorder it. I can get a look at the game before I buy, such as videos, reviews, etc. Swtor? Probably not. Unless it turns out to be something more surprising than what Ive been seeing so far. My faith in Bioware is just about gone. I feel EA has turned them from a company that made instant classics, to a developer that just makes passable games. Good games maybe, but arguably so.
