I gotta be honest here, and no disrespect intended for those who love GW2, but is anyone else getting kind of tired at how every thread has to have a "GW2 IS AWESOME" fanboy post in it? I've played GW2. It's a decent game, but it is not the second coming of Ricard Garriott's nutsack.

GW2 is nothing more then an EQII/WOW clone i was bored in less then a month. TSW has a lot oof new stuff that really makes it different. Still not a true sandbox but much closer.

Originally posted by 7star Was on yesterday, and actually saw quite a few people running around. The thing I like most about this game is that even the basic quests are just challenging enough that you need to put a little thought into it before running into an area. Blindly wandering off the road will get you killed. Combat requires a bit of thought to get the right build for a particular set of monsters, and the investigation requests require you to actually think. Sure you can easily cheat by looking up stuff online, but the game really rewards you when you figure it out for yourself. For this reason, it's not a game that's meant to be rushed through (though of course the content locusts will always do that, then complain). Still, the investigation quests, the modern setting, the classless system, clothing options, the ability wheel are innovations over what's been done before in MMOs. The dungeons are some of the best in the genre. I also find the community to be very friendly and accepting. There's actually RPing going on as well, which is cool, though not everyone's cup of tea. Funcom has something very special with TSW, and it is very much worth the sub. |

I've been really enjoying the game also. It certainly won't have mass appeal and in my mind, that's a good thing. Quality over quantity. The game has its issues -- all games do -- but I want TSW to be sucessful and I spoke with my pocketbook. Lifer here. |

Okay, on the "games today are made for morons" issue....
I have an IQ of 138. Sure, I know that's not "genius IQ," but it's not dirt stupid either. I enjoy games for the immersion and relaxation, SOME challenge, but I have things to deal with in real life that are difficult, and I don't always like my games rock hard. I enjoy GW2. I probably would enjoy TSW, although I've not tried it yet. Either way, the games I enjoy do not reflect on my intelligence, so that's just complete and utter rubbish.

Originally posted by just1opinion Well, in all honesty, you are confused about the word "moron" as it is used by MMO players. moron [mawr-on, mohr-on] noun 1. Anyone who thinks differently than I do 2. Anyone who challenges my "facts" |

Originally posted by just1opinion Yeah, don't know if calling people morons is productive, really. People have different reasons for playing games -- some people want a game that is relaxing after a stressful week and don't want to be challenged too hard. It sort of depends on your mood, and it's actually great that we have such a variety of titles to choose from. |

I think its pretty clear where my Vote is at this time. The main thing i love about TSW is that the characters in the game make the world believeable. SWTOR NPC designs were Cardboard cutouts. Talk to soldier one and you will notice that he acts like Soldier 2-9, Same with Jedi 1-9, and smuggler 1-9. Now lets look at the TSW characters. In the opening area you have:
Andy = had a monster of a father that caused trauma into his psych. Norma = Housewife who got used to blood and guts by gutting fresh fish for dinner. Ellis = a metal worker who is fluent with a gun for some reason (Avoiding Spoiler) Biker whos name i dont remember = Nomad who's travels made him philosophical Orochi agents = Person "not capable of sarcasm" and Valley Girl. Bannerman Husband and wife = Sleeping with other people but have come to a agreement about it. Wife is Sarcastic but funny. Husband is straight forward and serious. Ravens Shack girl = admited con artist who's con suddenly turned real.
and this isnt even all the characters in the opening area. This is the first Themepark i've played that lives and breathes. Any RPer should see this world and see plenty fo choice in what they can play.
Because i can. |

I definitely will try TSW and maybe even have it as my second MMO. Rigth now I am too involved in SWTOR and I don't see my interest wane anytime soon. But I will most likely try it when there will be next free trial and if I like it I might sub to contradict my addiction to lightsabers

Originally posted by Kyleran Kinda how I felt about it also....In fact, other players were often more of a hinderence than anything.....Even if it was a single player game though, TSW just didnt thrill me......I know they are trying to improve the combat, but when I was playing it was gamebreaking..... |

Originally posted by Theocritus Adding more reasoning for PvP/reducing the zerg in Fusang and improving combat animations are at the top of the list, I believe, of improvements on the developer list. |

As others have said, good NPCs make for a good single player RPG. In an mmorpg all the RP I do is with other players. It's even worse if the NPCs seem to be more immersed in the story and world than I am. Those NPCs hold up at the barricades in Kingsmouth were just having far more fun than I was. |

A thread about someone liking TSW followed by trolls mentioning GW2 which I think is boring compared to TSW myself.
Good times on MMORPG.com
Back to TSW now. |

For me, Guild Wars 2 and The Secret World are two different but very enjoyable games. I like both.

I realize this thread is about TSW, but sometimes mention of other games is helpful for the sake of discussion. President of The Marvelously Meowhead Fan Club |

Both tsw and gw2 do one thing very well, they deliver us from the evil of Hub based questing

Originally posted by just1opinion I totally understand if people want to see their game as a "relaxing" experience, like watching TV, or perhaps even watching TV WHILE gaming. I´d go that far to say, those kinds of players are the biggest chunk of potential buyers, there is no other explanation for games being constantly dumbed down and a mere shadow of game mechanics which existed since the early 90ies or even earlier. So that is the reason why games like WoW and GW2 even exist and have this kind of huge playerbase, they are made because ot the demand for casual, non challenging games. But, and here is my stab at the game industry, the other, way smaller percentage of gamers who like total immersion, being challenged by figuring out complex systems, thinking out of the box have been ignored for too long, that is exactly what´s wrong with the game industry, and the video pretty much pointed that out. This guy is brutally honest and he is right. TSW is a refreshing change and it really breaks up the usual MMO pattern in many - not all - ways, but enough to keep me playing and feeling intrigued by it. Also this was the very first time I purchased a lifetime pack after the free month.
