I wanted to get into the game. I really did. It just seems like too cutsey, [mod edit] kiddie game. For what it does, it does well I guess. TSW has spoiled me with a mature, gritty feel that GW2 just doesnt have. I mean, come on. We're adults already (at least most are i think),  Maybe its the fantasy theme that's been beat to death that's doing it.

Ok, rant over...you may now proceed to bash me

You sir, are a nincompoop, your opinion of the game is quite frankly absurd, it holds no merit, and no one cares, I would say that you had parental issues growing up, that is why you feel it is too sissy and child like.  I hope one day you realise what a grave error you made when you proclaimed your disdain for the savior.  Go back to your secret world, you under belly of a termite. pip pip toodle toodles.

Nah but in all seriousness, cool story bro.

But nah seriously, I appreciate your opinion.  Mine is that the game is just booooooring.

/raises unicorn bow !

i like fantasy themes - but thats my poison :)

i think the game is fun.

that is all.

I dont think that a game need that dark gritty feeling and theme to be better, I sure did like that part in TSW but it's like the whole theme of that game, and even though I liked it a lot in TSW, I'm not playing TSW anymore...

I actually found my self liking the bright green sunny summery lands of Kessex and Gandara in GW2 more than I thought I would :)

I love baby Quaggans http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47whPfSu-ik

At the same time, i try to have an adult and mature attitude while discussing things here on the forums. This is my thread about why i wasn't impressed with WVW http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/361986/page/1

As you can see, i tried to be detailed and polite with my post. So, am i not an adult for liking baby Quaggans and because i actually find them cute?

Oh, i do like TSW's setting and lore.

I don't understand why people jump so fast from MMO to MMO. MMO's are about commiting to the game and have fun.

It's fun for you. That doesn't mean that it is for everyone. I personally didn't really care for it but that's just me. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

i agree with you, it can be pretty kiddy at times but hey if thats what it needs to do to attract people and pay the bills i will compromise just as long as every other part of the game is working to my liking. TSW and AoC were pretty gritty but  look at their sales, most mmorpgers apparently dont like that kind of thing(look at WoW's success). there are some personal storylines however that are less cutsie than others. some of them you actually have some people close to the main character dying at least. i feel like gritty only works for the console crowd, there you can find much freedom in storylines.

Not entirely true, AoC sold really well  back in 2008. http://www.ign.com/articles/2008/06/02/age-of-conan-rules-the-sales-charts

TSW I agree though, that's a very niche genre/setting. Most gamers prefer high fantasy

I feel sorry for those who do not like it.

However, theres no reason to worry.

The reason why theres more saying the game is bad than good, is because us who enjoy it uses most of our time in the game.

See, what you missed here stayBlind, is that f0dell54 was responding to someone saying simply "game is fun" without saying that it is fun in his opinion, or to him, but perhaps not everyone.  In addition, the person quoted first here did a /thread, which means they think their opinion is so great that there is no need of further discussion - usually a very dumb thing to think, in my opinion :)

I really dig the setting and graphics of TSW as well, but I'm worried that it's a doomed game.  I read most of Funcom Oslo was laid off, and despite Ragnar's upbeat outlook, they are going to be on really limited resources.  In fact, there are indications that they are completely finished with the MMO market, and plan to work on smaller titles from now on.

It's a bummer for sure, and I hope everything I have been reading is wrong.

Nonsense, most gamers play whatever everyone else is playing, regardless of the setting.

Just because big studios don't have the balls to do anything other than fantasy doesn't mean that's what most people prefer.
