So since guild wars 2 has been out, I want to know some of the reasons why someone should play this game. Guild Wars 1 imo was a horrible game, even if it didnt have a sub. I am considering getting it, but I having seen a lot of games as of late that look great, but end up being disappointing (The Secret World, DayZ, etc.).
Is there any free trial or something so I could test it out and see if it's worth playing? Received my first Free UGC code! :) |

No game will offer this much for the money you will pay.

I'm not inclined to believe you.

Originally posted by Nitth My opinion, nothing more. To OP, maybe Game of the year rewards by Gamespot, IGN, Tentonhammer and Masivelly will add another argument why this game is worth. Again, those are only opinions and it's up to you if you will believe it. |

What is it you want out of the game?

Nobody knows your personal tastes, so any answer for "Yes" or "No" shouldn't matter a whole lot to you .. But ...
It's worth getting so at least you will know what people are talking about when they say Guild Wars 2 is anti-social, the Dynamic Events follow the same 3 or 4 cookie cutter designs, the worlds feel boxed in, crafting is pointless, there is no endgame, removing the trinity was a huge mistake, longevity problems with players not wanting to log back on, etc.
Maybe you'll have differing opinions, but it might be worth knowing whether or not you would ever want to play a game like it again (TESO anyone?), or if the MMORPG industry is sinking into bland single player games being mislabeled MMORPG's.
It will provide at least a couple dozen hours of playability (maybe more, again depending on your playstyle tastes), so it's somewhat cheap entertainment I suppose. The seasonal events are alright if your off from work / school and bored. Want a nice understanding of life? Try Spirit Science: "The Human History" |

I'm approaching 1000 hours played in this game and I still haven't come close to seeing or doing it all. No game will give you your money's worth like this one in my opinion.

Even if you only enjoy it for the first few weeks it's worth it, single player games don't cost any more and many of them only give 20 hours of enjoyment.
Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. |

See, the issue i have with these statements is its a testament to ones conviction to keep playing. Guild wars 2 is the same in every regard to almost any other mmorpg, You have a world to explore, And Npc interaction within that. If i were so inclined, i could spend 100's of hours running around age of conan or tsw, or swtor or everquest ect looking at all the sites and interaction with npcs. All for FREE. same for pvp, Alot of fremium models offer pvp. So, imo no, Not necessarily "the best game for your dollar" at $60.

Originally posted by botrytis I'm yet to figure out why some people get so excited about jumping puzzles. They aren't difficult.
Even EQ / WoW / single player games had jumping tasks. It was a non-feature back then, and still is. It was just ... there .. not even worth mentioning, hmm. Want a nice understanding of life? Try Spirit Science: "The Human History" |

If you want an mmo, yes. However, do not be afraid to look at other rpgs out there and see if you want those. Tsw I also reccomend, however gw2 is more casual and "complete" than tsw, but tsw only being 30$ now is not bad.

Originally posted by Nitth Exactly, IN YOUR OPINION . Many single player games are the same price and offer less and never roll out new content.
Understand your opinion but everyone has one, doesn't mean he is wrong or right - just like you. "You can fool some of the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time." Abraham Lincoln |

So just don't play it, but also don't bother us.
Except all those are boring after 2 weeks to one months. Tried them all (and most of the others) and still claim GW2 is hands down best MMO-ish game of them all.

Originally posted by Karteli Difficulty doesn't equal fun. I myself do not enjoy the puzzles, I suck at them. However, I did enjoy going to the waiting room, throwing snowballs, and watching other people do the puzzle. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/innovation |

Originally posted by Nitth You call it a conviction to keep playing. When I played WoW, quite heavily mind you for a number of years, there was a conviction to keep playing even though I really wasn't having fun anymore. The raids, though, they needed their main tank and I was it. The second group needed their dps hunter and believe you me, I could crank out those numbers. Eve Online... not so much a conviction to play as a responsibility. I was in charge of the POS in the wormhole. I kept her fueled, took care of her defenses, sounded the alarms as needed. I kept the processing going, up to and including T3 production. It was a responsibility, so even after it became less fun and more work, I kept playing.
GW2, I have nearly a thousand hours. I'm still having fun. Lots of it. I'm not close to running out of content to see and do. I still laugh at things like this. Or this classic photo bomb.
I'm not playing out of conviction. I know what that's like. I'm playing for fun. Oderint, dum metuant. |
