grats to Anet, I'm sure glad that people are giving it the credit it deserves.
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick. |

I really wished that this game would have been worth GOTY....
I was so overhyped for it for years, same with D3. D3 failed so bad. GW2 was allright. I really liked the starting areas, but the further I got into the game, the areas became more and more dull and boring.
GW2 is a game you complete and put on the shell. Sadly. Playing ATM: Rift KICKSTARTED: Camelot Unchained. (250 USD) |

It's not like GW2 had any real competition in terms of MMOs in 2012... giving it best game though... actually were there any really great PC games in 2012? Winning awards when there was no real competition makes the award somewhat worthless... |

GW2 is a solid fountdation for them to build on. Solely in terms of potential GW2 blows a lot of the competition out of the water.
Play for fun. Play to win. Play for perfection. Play with friends. Play in another world. Why do you play? |

Originally posted by Alberel Make sure that you point out which games are such weak competition that GW2 won by default. Maybe you could tell us how bad a game has to be to make winning GOTY worthless? All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick. |

Originally posted by MikeJezZ Depends on what kind of player you are, you seem to be the kind of player that play through one story on one character and get 100% world completion then the game is over. I still play Guild Wars 2, the content is almost endless. |

When it was voted top in Time, many people said, "I'll wait for a real gaming site to give it something like IGN."
Now that it has happened, the 5 people that religiously hate on the game on this forum will now say IGN is shit and worthless and ANet payed for it. It'll actually be funny to watch to be honest. SWTOR is the greatest mmo ever! |

Originally posted by eyelolled Well the 4 other nominees tht IGN put GW2 up agaimst pretty much sum that up now dont they ... FTL and Hotline Miami..lmao stop it .. TL2 is an ok game and Walking Dead a niche game ..
Plenty of good games they intentionally left off .. just read down the thread ... the majority dont agree and question the lack of effort ... |

All these awards and accolades put me in a weird position, I don't know what to make of it all.
I have never hated something that the masses seem to love so much(aside from a few pop music examples).
GW2 is in the top 5 worst games I've ever played. Does that opinion make me some kind of douche hipster? Am I missing its brilliance? I truely cannot fathom how this game can have so much interest. I guess that makes me ignorant.
Am I a tiny minority? |

Originally posted by evilprey That is just ridicilous and shows that this award is biased on whether you like the game or not. I played TERA and GW 2 back to back and TERA is heads and shoulders above GW 2 in graphics department. It's not even a contest. |

Originally posted by QuicklyScott No. There are lots of us who are not fooled with the shinies of GW 2. Look past all the BS and "reviews" and all you got is a mediocre MMORPG altough it is a great single player game which is probably why it is getting all these rewards. It was the same thing happening when SW:TOR was released. It got praise coming out of its ass but in the end it showed what a mediocre MMORPG it actually was. GW 2 is better but still nothing to write home about, in regards to MMORPG features. Same thing we have seen a million times before but now in a new package. Dynamic Events and WvW are nothing but your ThemePark quest hubs and instanced, no-consequence PvE and PvP we seen in other triple A ThemeParks. |

Originally posted by Yamota Yeah, I've been playing TERA with one of my friends lately and the graphics are freaking insane. Especially later on in the game. SWTOR is the greatest mmo ever! |

Originally posted by Yamota You are both still in the minority.... not tiny, but the minority. It is getting all these awards cuase it is better than the games who lost the awards. Why? Well, that is opinion. This game definantly deserves these awards, especially when it comes to *just* MMOs. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/innovation |
