Lol... I'm so mad that, at least for 30 seconds after reading it, I misunderstood that entire thing. I didn't read the numbers as a listing. I thought those were subsequent releases of SWTOR and you were saying each of these features GW2 has is gonna be better than the next 8 or so versions of Star Wars The Old Republic... Oh boy am I silly. |

While the very detailed proof of each point makes this an informative thread, I have to ask "Why?".

To be honest I can't understand how you can like one and hate the other... they are both WoW clones anyway... They are both pretty much... well... meh. |

Both are disappointing games at max level.

GW2 is far from perfect if that is what you were getting at. While the points you bring up may paint a rosey picture for GW2 (and few could discount the points of comparison), GW2 does have a rather drab storyline, lack of emotes, lack of guild usefulness, lack of proression, lack of character purpose & comparison / rivalries with other characters. GW2 is extremely more anti-social than SWTOR, although that's not saying much since SWTOR had a strong single player focus as well, just not as bad.
Both games are just a throwaway themepark style game that someone will eventually get bored of, although SWTOR had more longevity (to me). 3 months of SWTOR compared to < 1 month of GW2. meh
Oh and SWTOR had a helluva lot better music score than GW2 has.
So ... SWTOR isn't the perfect MMORPG, but neither is GW2. If they ever had a child, it would be a kickass MMORPG though! Want a nice understanding of life? Try Spirit Science: "The Human History" |

If you see no good or you see no bad in a game, chances are you are bias. |

Has the most bias fans that would tell a load of bull and gloat about it despite having no bearings on it. Gw2 > SWTOR.
Seriously, I'm not huge on GW2 as it is, i don't need you fanboys making it worst. Its bad enough for me SWTOR > GW2 (utilzing your lame post there and what you used) and I find SWTOR cringe worthy in terms of lot of its design choices and gameplay. Threads like this only make me look down more at GW2.
Yes, I didn't need to do that stupid > comparison, but heck, why not copy something stupid the thread started doing. XD |

Who did wrong? The advertiser hired to sell the game or the consumer who put faith in advertising? |

Originally posted by Serelisk No you aren't silly. Generally, when people write lists, they do so in the following manner: 1. blah 2. blah blah 3. etc. In fact, rules of proper writing exist to aid in comprehension. When you don't follow the rules, the writer risks the audience confusing the meaning. These rules also exist for the author as much as the reader. Most people write intending the words to be read. Therefore, it is implicit in the act of writing that the author wishes his words to be 'understood'. Therefore, a set of rules exist which not only help with the reader's understanding, but also help the author express meaning. Ironically, 'grammar Nazi's' are often derided by authors. The person actually is sympathetic to the author. They understand the author is trying to clearly convey an idea, and they are attempting to help with that. Sadly, this often takes the form of sarcasm or at the highest aspiration, satire. I too, upon reading the original post felt it 'hurt' my brain for the lack of organization. As to the content of his post, I think my post tells you what I believe its merits to be. While I too believe GW2 to be a better game than ToR, the motives of the author were a lot clearer than the way he organized his list. |

It's nothing to brag about being better than swtor. I expect all mmos to be better than swtor.

SMDH @ GW2 is a wow clone. It might be many things right now, especially with the vertical grind addition but it's no clone, anyone still claiming that has never played it once. smh On a side note, I'm finding out that people will spend money on just about anything doesn't matter how bad anymore. Just look at the climb in numbers in WoW. (even tho I haven't seen any new reports since just after MoP launched really.) Just look at how many people watched the honey boo boo child show or jersey shore. Point is people are going to pay for crap, even when they know it's crap. SWTOR isn't on the top of the list of great products imo either. |

I honestly played SWTOR for longer than GW2 at release. Probably played GW2 more though if you count beta hours.

Unfortunately for the genre, WoW is still better than both GW2 and SWTOR.
