I'm going with 93-97% around there.
The combat isn't exactly Tera, while it's far from your old WoW mentality as well. A blend of the two between them, with the added bonus of combat mobility rather than being locked into stationary mode while attacking.
The character races are a mix of standard and unique. There's a slight limitation on some of them, but there's more than enough sliders to make up for that.
For gameplay there's a plethora of things to do from casual crafting, jump puzzles, and mini-games to general dungeons, personal story quests, structured PvP, and mass-scale siege warefare in WvWvW.
The game's world is filled to the brim with beautiful vistas and gigantic things. The cities themselves, of which there are 6, take hours of discovery for just one of them and you'll still not discover everything there is of it.
With all that there is in the game, it's shortfalls (whatever they may be) will be far outshined by the greatness of the rest of the game. WoW be damned, this game has content!

87-92 Critic
75-82 User unless we have another MW3 scenario on our hands. We’ll stop to sleep when the game is the best possible game we think it can be. We’ve seen the population of the game steadily rising lately and we’re not going to sit on our butts and congratulate one another, we’re going to try and build on that momentum and make the game even better. -Colin johanson on GW2 |

I went with 80-82 However, it was before I saw that some other games which I consider to be really poor (and which turned out to be unsuccessful) got around 90. If I saw that before, I would not bother to vote at all... Playing: Nothing atm My game concept thread: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/369707 (any feedback appreciated) |

Originally posted by otinanai123 My OWN OPINION is where it's at! But seriously, I kinda suspect Metacritic is bought and paid for. So this will be at about 87~ish max.

Originally posted by otinanai123 You may not care about critic score..but believe me, people care about it. Publishers will sometimes even base a developers' potential bonus around a specific metacritic goal. In fact, Obsidian lost a lot of money because FONV got an 84% metacritic score, and they would only get a bonus if it got an 85%. Bullshit? Yes. But it proves that critic scores are still pretty important. Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

Oh btw. I voted "< 70" because I have the lingering suspicion the majority people and the world of MMOs just aren't ready for GW2 yet. (And because some people just don't get it. They'd fail to comprehend innovative greatness if it ran them over with a steam-bicycle.)

The reality is that many of the "pro" scores are based less on the game and more on the hype, advertising budgets and love for the particular studio. |

Originally posted by Indrome So I have to ask...do you honestly believe that the majority of critics will rate GW2 below 70%? This just seems out of the realm of the faintest possibility to me. Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

I've chosen 77 - 79% not because I don't like the game, but having stepped back after three beta weekends I still want to see much more of the game before I get carried away and mark it above 80% I spent the last beta weekend playing WvW and didn't go to bed until the game closed so had a marathon 11 hours without sleep and that's something I've not done since my early EQI days. I'm not a fan of the graphics and always esc the cut scenes as they bore the hell out of me, however I do underastand it helps with the story and if that floats your boat then it's all good. But I am not looking for fluff just a game i can get stuck into with little or no effort at all. Now GW2 does give that to me and the things I dislike will not prevent me from playing when the game goes live, Like I've posted on a few post I am already getting withdrawel symptons and thats can only be a good thing, however I hope that once it does go live that it has enough to keep me playing long after it's release date. Only time will tell. Bandit

Neither score is valid. Critic score is based off of critics, who are regularly paid off by publishers. I've seen sites like Gamespot lambast a game and still give it an 8.
User scores rely on users. i.e. People. Dunno if you've met people, but they are morons. You'll get a ton of 0s from people 0-ing a game for nonsensical reasons or just to troll, and people 10-ing it for the same.

I roughly guess it would be around 85% - 89% critic wise, but a 50% user wise because:
and about 100 other contradictory opinions. |

Originally posted by colddog04 Alright fair enough, you found 1, baerly within the range, the biggest in the industry ever and never again matched. Do you really think GW2 is another WoW in the works? I doubt it, but not because I think WoW is the best game ever, more because I think a large part of their success was "first mover". I don't think you'll see someone with a new MMO take the market to say 50M monthly subs (same order of magnitude WoW changed the industry by). |

Originally posted by Creslin321 Oh leave me to my sarcasm. Of course not. But I will read the reviews of those that do with utter delight. Its just a faint hunch that a great number of critics will get hung up on something or other...

Why do you even... I don't.... Metacritic? Seriously? You might as well ask a homeless person in your town for an opinion. It will probably be more valuable. It'[s not even the fact that reviews are bloated most of the itme and rarley contain any useful information, and the fact scoring system is flawed by design. It's moslty the fact Metacritic is random. Some large sites aren't included, but a random blog of some nobody can be. Then there is alos a fact that most "professional" reviewers don't simply have time to play a MMO for long enough to be able to give a honest opinion. Especially if they aren't fans of the genre (which is quite common).
