My suggestion for OP: Stop buying any more AAA titles. There are plenty of games on steam that goes for under $10 a pop. If you are looking for truly innovative games, go there. Also..kickstarter. |

I am back and forth on it. . I like the quick fix and accessability but miss some of the depth of other games.

MMOG Lesson #1: "Never trust Hype". Based on what your looking forward to, I'd imagine GW2 would be WAY off your preferred tastes. Seems you like more Hardcore, Shooter and Survival games. My recommendations (on top of your stated WarZ) are:
{EDIT: Defiance is also worth mentioning though it being a MMO & TV show is probably going to ruin it - depends.} The target market of GW2 is going to prevent it from being THAT innovative. It is basically a 2nd WoW [World of Warcraft] in that it takes features that are common to a number of games and removes most of the annoyances in those games to make it more enjoyable but not necessarily different.
All very non-Hardcore stances, GW2 was made to be accessable to casuals and enjoyable while still having niches in it to support some Hardcore play. Your not locked into certain content because of level, race, class, grouping preferrence [except with Storyline quests which are the 'Unique' elements to playing it for each character] or PvE/PvP/Crafting preferance [not much you don't get experience/rewards for doing other than Chatting]. Basically, the game probably wasn't your 'taste'/style to begin with. You'll need to shop around and research a bit. Good luck with your next MMOG 'gamble'. |

Originally posted by xalvi It isn't your level of maturity that's the problem. It's the fact that MMO's have beern simplified and dumbed down so much over the past few years that any intelligent adult finds them extremely boring. A decade ago MMO's were deep and complex, needing patience and intelligence to advance in them; you actually had to think about how you built your character. Now any 10 year old can follow the single path and join the dots with little effort. It isn't a coincidence that the quality of the MMO community took a nosedive as the games got easier either. WoW has much to answer for. |

Well maybe MMOs just are not your thing. I am having a blast. Don't buy them anymore.

I'm sorry, but that's a load of bunk right there. They certainly needed more patience, but MMOs have never been deep and generally don't require much thought. Truthfully most all games seem to be easier nowadays as developers more and more tend to design towards the lowest common denominator, but that doesn't really have much to do with a game's complexity. Most of the games I've played lately actually seem to have significantly more layers of complexity to both the combat and the character customization than most of the games of yore. Now I'm sure there's at least one exception (Asheron's Call for example, I never played it but I hear it was rather deep), but in general most of the games I played 10 years ago were very simple mechanics wise with relatively punishing leveling curves (some with XP loss on death). |

Originally posted by Deathenger Just because someone doesn't like something doesn't mean they didn't try it. I bought GW2 and I really don't care for the game. It isn't that big of a deal because it only cost $60 which is chumb change but the fact remains that I really don't like it. I'm happy you enjoy it and it's awesome for you but for me it sucks balls. |

ive held back from buying this because iwant to see what people are saying 3 months later.. I bought into the SWTOR hype at the last second.... thought i loved the game but made it out of thne first zone and into the HUGE city and was like... my god this is gay. and now look where this game is lol. will be dead soon.
I was a vanila wow player, then played SOME TBC ( did the first 4 raids.).. hated WOTLK and didnt even buy CATA. and the ONLY game i think is legit is RIFT. im back playin that now and having fun doing so with the fiance. playing VERY casual until the expansion comes out as work is pwning me. out of all the teams out there making mmos... argue all you want, rift's cares the most about it's players. |

Psst... Try Torchlight 2. I played the beta and was amazed.
They are announcing release date at PAX this weekend.
Still only 20 smackaroos on Steam, I believe. |

You may like a MMO, you may not. You may be looking forward to a MMO soon to release, you may not be. But no matter what, now and in the future... never EVER let yourself get suckered by the MMO Hype Monkey. Them evil advertizers genetically engineer them rascals to hypnotize you and drag you off to the Theme Park especially built for us bad peanuts. Seriously, forget all the hype about new MMOs... it's all marketing spin anyway. Try it, play it, if you like it, good. If you don't, look again for another. Simple. Do your homework and you will know which MMOs you want to try, then try them and keep the best, toss the rest. Forget the Hype and tell the Marketers to go get bent.  Nothing to see here... just another MMO Ghost.... |
