Can't believe they are using these tired old quest. Really disappointed.

They're not.  That review is full of misinformation.  That's not at all how those events work.  The only feature in the game that remotely resembles a quest is your personal story, which is instanced.

Damn, I mean shall we do video comparisons

Let's just do something simple get a wow,rift,warhammer, and GW 2 pve starting area youtube links and bingo answers should be there lol.

If you played all of the above, one would see the glarring and obvious differences, they should be kill/collect/interact/destination/mission based/capture points(PVE)/defending/assaulting/using enviromental objects to destroy stuff/taking out towers/throwing snowball at kids/going fishing with orrs(Kill fishies/ I think I missed some others.

But yea all that's been in each game and they are even done the same exact way, I mean hell all you have to do is take away such and such from GW 2 and badda boom badda bing same as the others...

What? lol

The amusement, no but so we all agree in this thread GW 2 has kill x/collect x/interact with x and more right?

So amusing to see same people who supported every negative preview of SWTOR acting like white knights when it comes to GW2. Guess what surprise..someone disliked GW2.

It is the EXACT same people too....

good catch.

Like I said

It has a negative preview

It sucks

No one said it sucks. But lets' temper the enthusiasm. Its not the second coming of Jesus  for christ's sake! Its a dynamic take on the traditional mmo staples - streamline this, accelerate that, make the public feel that it is somehow different and you got eveyrone extolling the game like its the messiah of all.

It looks very nice and polished, but a lot of people are SERIOUSLY going to be disappointed going in with these kinds of expectations!

All I see here is people grabbing the article with all their fingers and slapping at people's face as being "THE TRUTH"

Nah I dont care if it has a negative preview, but lets not make a big deal out of it, every game has one of those

Couldn't agree more. It's only the people over-inflating it and trying to make out that Guild Wars 2 has fallen apart and will be a failure and a terrible game just because of what some bloke wrote on his blog that gets me down. Really does.

Who the hell said it was going to fall apart? People are saying its not as innovative as everyone makes it sound, that doesn't mean it will fall apart or will suck. I expect it to be a fine game but its not revolutionary and the article further corroborates that.

Do I have to be a mad archivist and go back over the pages where you've posted and gone a little too far?

I dare you to show me where I mentioned the game will fall apart or will tank in sales. I always maintained since the beginning here that its not innovative as much as people think but that I would still buy it and play it because I expect it to be a good game.

If you intepret my words your way its not something I can control.

I guess the only "crime" i commited is not being an avid GW2 fanboy. And im thankful for that!

Besides the "been there - done that" complaint which while valid can essentially sum up every mmo to an extent seems like the writer's other major complaint was it played more like an actual mmo instead of a single player game unlike some others games of late.

Which...well...lols

Meh I don't care about other peoples opinions.. but tell me you're not blown away after seeing this GW2 footage:

Lol that's what I said to my self reading the reviewer.

Like I said...

nah, gotta give up, else I get called as I fanboy and all my arguments are invalid therefore

You know what, this genre needs to die for some time, indepedent of GW2 or not, it needs to die, mostly to cleanse its player population

My theory that the problem with mmos nowadays is actually with us, the players, is coming into fruition

Now the problem is when people go all "SEE, THIS GAME SUCKS!", when a single review pops up lol

You can bet people will link back to it when all the positive reviews come out.  It happens with a lot of MMOs.

Its a big cycle, anyone that followed mmorpg in a year would know this

A game is hyped to the heavens, people that dont like get flamed by people that like, once reviews starts coming out, the flamed people strikes back with every negative review, people that like will fight back with every positive reviews, the game comes out, people that like plays it, people that hate it bash it, next great game nears completion, cycle resets...

I'd say it's a vicious cycle, but yep, sad but true.

So you've basically said that people need something to talk about before it actually comes out and they decide whether they should stay involved or forget and move on  :)
