Yes time of all places voted GW2 #1 game of 2012. Notice it doesn't say #1 MMO of 2012. Tells you a little about just how good this game really is.
If your idea of a Sandbox is open FFA Full Loot PvP, full crafted world with minimal support for anything combat then your sandbox ideas are bad! Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!

Also noted that they include Torchlight 2 and not Diablo 3. Very good call.

Originally posted by evilastro I am VERY happy with this... However, GW2 doesn NOT deserve the vote of top game of 2012... it's just so.. boring. So few skills to use, barely any real end-game, and that fight with Zhaitan was laughable at best. The story in general is pretty bland, actually. I liked that you could explore, find specific points of interest, do the "dynamic" events, pvp, whatever, and get xp towards your goal of 80th level, but PvP isn't very fun (WvW or SPvP), PvE isn't a ton different than the norm aside from everyone in the same area being able to do the quests with you without grouping. Hm... I just really don't get the game. Period. Oh well, for me. |

Woot for ANET, they deserve it. The Deep Web is sca-ry. |

Originally posted by Aviggin If your into deep meaningful endgame, GW2 doesnt have it but what it does have it does amazingly well. Accolades like this only reinforce that. just because the game isn't for you doesn't mean its not right for the hundreds of thousands who do enjoy it.

Top voted MMO is not really a surprise, while X-fire numbers are pretty suspicious at best games like TOR had fallen to almost nothing after 3 months while GW2 been at about half Wows numbers the last 2 months... That doesnt really prove much about GW2s actual numbers except that it does somewhere between okay and good but it is a good sign. Also, all stores in my card have sold out their gemcards and my buddy who works in EB games say it is one of the topselling games. However that it is the top game altogether is unexpected to me... I guess it have been a pretty bad year with lots of sequels because MMOs rarely win this price. It is also surprising that Diablo 3 did so bad, there have been many complains but with the incredible large salesnumbers it had I would assume more people should have voted for it. Maybe it is because the initial technical problems it had. Anyways, gratz to GW2 and the other games on the list. |

Good list and gz Anet for the only mmo reaching that list and #1 makes it all the more epic for them. http://speedtest.net/result/2112016336.png |

Nice! It's nice to see an MMO get some love on a top games list. I'm in the minority on this, but I thought D3 was way better than TL2.
If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game. |

This reminds me of when you would get all those cooky stories about the teachers and such ranting about how great SWG was......Suuuuure. |

Well deserved, and you can be sure that's not the only award they will get.

I am always amazed at the sudden appearance of these obscure websites that do gaming awards/surveys whatever, if it had been an actual game award from one of the various gaming magazines etc, i could sort of understand it, which btw, GW2 didnt win this year, its almost like, an award for the 'special kids' who entered all the competitions, but didnt actually win anything, so they invent an award just for them. well done..

Originally posted by Phry I wouldn't call Time magazine "obscure". It's a well-deserved victory IMO. XCOM and Xenoblade are just as great, but they're all so different it's impossible to compare them fairly. |

Originally posted by Phry Althought not a "gaming" magazine, pretty sure TIME does well enough to not be obscure :P |

No amount of awards can get away from how boring and depth lacking GW2 is. I give ArenaNet their due, i got a refund the other day after maxing out a toon to level 80 and buying the game nearly three months ago lol.
Got my monies worth and got a refund, good chaps at ArenaNet even if GW2 is poor.

Originally posted by Eluldor It is if you've never heard of it, im guessing its an american magazine maybe? tbh, don't have a scooby on that one. In the UK have The Times newspaper, but somehow i don't see them handling game awards etc, but they do have a really hard crossword if you have the time/patience. |
