Not so fast GW2 fan! If in the near future we see other MMOs adopting things like no trinity, the downed mechanic in PvE and PvP, hearts and dynamic events, overflow servers etc then we might say it's influential. Until then, patience.

I can't see any other game, from last year, that other companies will be influenced by. I am happy that there is no trinity as I am bored to death with that simplified game mechanic. It was used a crutch for too long.

Isn't the homogonization of classes into builds that can complete every task necessary in groups just as boring?

Nah,its 10 times more boring.

well, nobody said that you had to like the most influential game of 2012. Of course, that might end up being a problem for you later on if a majority of games started implimenting features, but you probably prefer sandboxes anyhow.

Are you seriously still convincing yourself that this game is all you say it is, or are you so bored of the most influental game, you spend all day and night on these forums. Heres an idea, tell yourself quietly it s truly the best game ever, and i ll continue to tell myself it s the worst game to come out in years.

After an insane weekend of Tier 1 WvW PvP good luck convincing any involved or that actually plays the game that it's the "worst game to come out in years".  You should actually try it before bashing it rather than troll it for whatever reasons.

Played it, hated WvW the most, after playing DAOC again this weekend I realize how crappy of a try it was to be like DAOCs RvR. Other then that I can safely say, SINCE I ACTUALLY PLAYED IT, it s the worst game to come out in years.

If it is so bad, as you say, why are so many people playing the game?

It s called an opinion, not hard to understand. If it s such a good game, why are you 4-5 fanbois defending it so much, it shouldn t be needed?

Someone needs to take a break out of the game to fight the lies. We'll let the rest keep on playing.

TBH I forget GW2 is even out except when I'm on MMORPG and I see people lauding it for how "amazing" it is.

Cool I guess..  I don't know a single person IRL who has it, I had it and returned it because it was feature imcomplete at the time, they released their game broken with half the things on the box not even in the game.  Real Classy.

GW2, most underwelming game I played.

Did they? What exactly is on the box that you're claiming was not even in the game?

An auction house? 

Working guild invites / perks?

Thats just the two off the top of my head.  Game launched without either, both took over a month to add in.

Lol, it s not lies when it s an opinion.

If you intend to state it as opinion you shouldn't state it as an absolute. Saying "It's the worst game ever" come across like you're trying to state that as fact. If you'd simply said "In my opinion it's probably the worst MMO I've ever played" you'd have found people, like myself, doing no more than agreeing that we disagree on that.

It's a forum, do you call people liars when they say its the best game ever, it's all opinions.

I guess that means we get to lie out our ass when it suits us if we can hide behind the shield of opinion, amiright?

And I'm pretty sure any GW2 fanboy gets called a liar anytime they claim GW2 is the best game evar.

This game has FPS style twitch combat = Lie ( or incorrect information)

This game is the shittiest useless piece of crap in the history of the world ever = Opinion

this game is the most influential game in 2012 = Opinion

Unfortunately not all the lies and opinons are so easily defined.  And you're not being entirely honest about the third point are you.  There is more than one way to call or infer someone is a liar and people who make claims like the third one are most certainly put in their place, or we wouldn't be arguing here would we.

Wow, you re so right. Actually, I just give my opinions. Don t care either way, if this game is good or not, or if I m influenced by it or not.

I think it's perfectly fine that you share your opinions. I'm in no way trying to imply that you shouldn't.

The point that I tried to make in the original post, is that it is influential because people talk about it, and have talked about it more than any other game in 2012.  THAT is popularity and/or noteriety. That is influence, and that is the reason for the thread. Add the amount of awards and acclaim that GW2 has received and it's definately ruling the roost for 2012.

The thing that I have a hard time understanding, is why people continue to post negative comments about a game that they also claim, is nothing to them.

Probably the same reason you make a million threads, just to get people chatting about the oh so influential game.

well if I made a million threads you might have a point, except that I bet that I haven't made 20 GW2 threads since launch. Go ahead and look so you can prove me right.

And hey, thanks for your input in the thread.

There should be no doubt that GW2 was the most influential mmorpg of 2012. Many people were talking about how the game is evolutionary, and a welcome breath of fresh air to the genre. It's won multiple awards like IGN's Best PC Game, IGN's Best PC MMO game, IGN's Best PC Graphics, Massively's Best MMO of 2012, MMORPG.com Most Innovative, Gamespots PC game of the year, Time' s #1 game of the year, and more recently PCGamer's MMO of the Year! There is no denying that GW2 has grabbed a lot of attention, and the loyal fanbase is growing each and every day!

 

GW2 is the most talked about game on this site still, even after almost 5 months since release. It's the most talked about game this week, and the most talked about game this month. GW2 has more than 3 times as many hits as the next closest game over the last 6 months, and more than 3 times as many hits as the next closest game over the last year.

 

[mod edit] [My edit to maintain paragraph integrity - Some people post negatively about GW2 yet,] I want to thank them too. They really prove how influential the game is. People don't write and talk about meaningless things of little importance. People write and talk  about things that affect them or concern them. Each and every thread, each and every reply is another hit on the popularity scale for GW2.

 

Each post is a testiment to the influence that GW2 has within the genre, even if it is a hate post. This game IS the game worth talking about, and when developers are looking for what games to follow into the future, the most talked about game is a good choice.  I look forward to a brilliant future for mmorpg's, with GW2 lighting the way.

 

EDIT: And if you feel like arguing with me, and telling me I'm wrong, or if you feel like telling me how much you like the game. Keep on speaking. Keep on saying how you feel and lets keep GW2 leading the way through 2013!!!

 

   

 Influential?  I don't see it. Might take a few years to see if it changes the industry.

Why do poeple need to elevate games up to some legendary level?  What do you get out of this?
