Dont get me wrong, I completely disagree with him, but a subjective opinion is an opinion based on personal feelings/point of view and not based on facts at all. His post qualifies for subjective opinion tbh.

Oh I agree with that - at least, unlike many, he is honest by immediately informing us that his opinion on the game is based on nothing serious and therefore shouldn't be taken even remotely seriously ;)

so opinions are totatly useless since i can say anything about a game and say is my opinion. lol

i can say devil may cry 4 and WoW combat are exactly the same? yes i can, is my opinion but will make me look stupid...but is my subjective opinion. 

nope, opinions need to have vaild points to support that opinion

100% subjective opinions are indeed totally worthless. Opinions are worth consideration when based on real facts and/or if the author explains why he has such an opinion, and also when it's obvious that he has at least tried the product he's writing an opinion about.

Sorry if I don't take the one liner of someone who obviously didn't ever see the game seriously ;)

I wouldn't take the hype meter seriously, especially since ArcheAge is #2, and The Repopulation dropped down to #4 since yesterday.

Yeah, archeage being #2 pretty much proves my point - people will give 10/10 to any game mentionning "sandbox" in its feature list, no matter if we know nothing of that game or if it's a huge smelly pile of crap.

pre-release figures are relatively meaningless, the ones to take note of, are the scores 1 month post release +

does anyone seriously believe hype these days, and if so .. why ?

How has it not hit 9.0 or above lol....its rigged i tell you..just kidding think its my add kicking in.I joke but weather gw2 is the best game ever or worst flop in history ,besides swtor or wow I can't remb a mmo so highly anticaptated in recent memory. Come on mmorpg you know tht number should be more then 8.78......

Yes stupid thread but it was killing me for weeks not seeing tht number rise .....sorry to bring down everyones iq on this thread.

 

Players are excited for the P2W version of WOW. 

8 years in and still the game is by far the most played P2P mmo....with no p2w in sight.....its killing you, isnt it...

pretty sure it would have been a 9.0 if it were a sandbox, or had "true" open world pvp as some would say.

Personally I don't think 'open world pvp' is anywhere near as popular as some people would like to think. If it was, every multi-player game in existence would feature it.

It was only seeing this thread that reminded me I haven't actually rated the game. I'll wait till I've been playing it for a while before doing that though. Can't see the point of rating a game that hasn't even been released yet.

It would be a lot lower.  You overestimate the number of people who actively want those features.  Probably because those that do have the shrillest voices.

Almost everyone who's looking forward to GW2 is playing or has played GW1 - I don't really know many people outside of that sphere who are that hyped for that game. I certainly am not. The only thing it has is pretty awesomely designed environments, otherwise it felt like yet another EQ derivative. A decent one, mind you, but derivative nonetheless.

I don't think that's true.  GW2 has a huge appeal beyond former GW1 players.  I've never played GW1 a day in my life, but I'm super excited about GW2.  Mostly because it took everything I grew bored with in WoW and Rift and fixed it.  It's actually fun and you want other players around because you can play with them.

yep.  i personally hate gw1.  it's a lobby based,  grind, and i hope to never play it again.  gw2's scope goes well beyond the gw1 fanbase.

Yeah, we need more hype around here. 

Hype meter is totally subjective and can be easily manipulated. Remember all the weeks Atlantica Online was at the top?

Wouldn't get too caught up in it.

it really is awesome but not perfect,

but compared to other games that are out right now it really deserves a 10.

I am sure Anet will make it 10 (even 11 :o) after launch, the game has so much potential.

It did rech over 9.0 at one point in time.  Think the highest I saw it was at 9.2 or 9.3.

Considering it's not even a sandbox, GW2 has a pretty outstanding hype rating here.

Apart from WvWvW, one cannot argue that this game has open world pvp. Open world pvp is one of the best end game someone can ask, imo as well as others. GW2 unfrotunately does not have open world pvp and thats a bummer.

Esport potential > Open world PvP, for end game.

Perhaps they will add open world pvp after launch, the potential is great with this game so im not so worried....yet

Well, it's like a 9.25 to me personally, but since I never provide any input my feelings will never be reflected here. I also think after the past few years of hyped games turning out to be less than awesome, lots of people are just sick of hype and the disappointment it often brings
