All these one word threads. How about a little explaination on why you think this game is awesome.

Is it the challenging gameplay? The fantastic settings? The well scripted storyline? The way players instinctivly work together?

Pretty much all that except for the scripted storytelling, which is in all honestly crap... But from my experience, even games with great story can be boring and end up pretty quickly, LoTRo is an example among so many others. What stays after the story ends is the gameplay and the multiplayer objectives like PvP, combat and the will to join others to play and GW excels in that

Casual

Overhyped

Its a good game, but not awesome. I ll stand by my good, and if it had a sub, I m not sure I would sub to it. That said I ll be playing, because of no sub.

legandary. and thinking about how flexible its design is, i will be improved to be the best

interesting

Yup.

Surprised at the trolls who clearly haven't even touched this game. "Looks like Lineage 2 and WoW". Yeaaah right. You can hate the game, but that's absolute bull. XD

Not even bothering to post in those threads as it just bumps their false statements up.

It's Amazing.

Got into this beta weekend to try it for myself. I'd say it's a decent game, but it's pretty clear by now it's a far cry from what it's been cracked up to be.

Its the perfect mmo for WoW clone burnouts. Which is like millions of people heh.

Which is what exactly?

wow killer that is .which it fairly is not .wow is still holding the ground strong

Refreshing

This game easily meets the hype and what i dont understand and would like to see someone explain is..

Exactly what makes some think that its overhyped and or underwelming?

Everything anet said about the game is true and everything the players have said is true and not out of context so i cant imagine what some folks are thinking in their own minds when they let the true hype go wild in their own minds..

Are you suppose to grow wings and fly?

Play using only the thought power of your minds?

Is it suppose to be like real life in every way?

Yeah, I don't know what is wrong with me - but I just can't see it. I mean, this was my 3rd beta and I really tried hard keeping an open mind.

I was ready to be impressed by the Sylvari area - and my reaction was just "meh". It's very impressive in terms of scale and creativity - but there's just no sense of art direction that I can appreciate. It looks like someone of limited talent got handed a shitload of crayons and just went wild.

As for the actual game and levelling experience - I feel it's just endless repetition of a few themes. Now, the events may be dynamic and convenient for multiplayer - but they feel pretty generic and nothing at all like the EPIC!!!! stuff I keep hearing about.

It was also the 3rd story I tried - and though I didn't get far, it's the same old bullshit juvenile writing. After playing games like TSW and TOR - it's really hard to be impressed with that level of crap.

Combat feels pretty good and it looks good, but the arsenal is super limited. Weapon switching is all fine and good, but they implemented a significant cooldown and it feels off. It doesn't feel like a natural part of your arsenal - and I found myself having to really force the switch and it wasn't really necessary.

PvP fights are overlong and you can never get to finish someone without a team mate interrupting. It feels like a game of attrition and that's not at all my kind of fight.

It doesn't help that the game performs quite poorly. I have a very decent rig (2600K, 6990, fast DDR3 ram, etc.) - and yet it runs like a dog in several areas. It will be optimised for release? Probably, but we're only a month away. The last three beta events have had the same sluggish "floaty" performance.

I'm not a particularly big fan of "horisontal progression" - but I could definitely get over it, if the game offered something truly special.

I just don't see it, and I really don't care if it's a good deal or not. I'm looking for a strong long-term MMO, not a good deal. I can get better deals at a Steam sale - and I'm not buying there either. I only have time for so many games, and I need them to be special. This isn't - at least not for me.

Then why are you stillll playing the third beta, usually if you cant see it you dont play it.

"Fun" 

and honestly to me it's the only word needed when it comes to any game

The one word that comes to my mind :

Clusterfck.
