Guild Wars 2

.. The same as my previous thread, which is fake difficulty all the way, it wasn’t challenging, it was tedious, tedious because of the amount of “spiketrap outta nowhere u ded aha funni right” when I died, I didn’t feel encouraged to go on because of how boring it was to die to such random, patternless deaths.

There’s no excitement of “Am I going to die if I go here?” there’s just “I guess I’m going to die, -again-, because there’s yet another invisible spiketrap here”, repeat until you find the one way to go until you’ve finished the zone, once, maybe twice is there an actual -challenging- bit that involves true, harsh-but-fair difficulty.

The only somewhat enjoyable moments are ones such as world 2 zone 3 where you have a clear path set ahead of you (the room covered in VISIBLE spikes with windtotems, bananas and block-clouds occasionally popping) because the clouds actually give you a time to back off when they appear, and you don’t suddenly get spiked for no reasons, if you get spiked, you stepped on a visible spike.

It’s exactly as I said in my previous thread, memory can be an interesting skill to require in a challenge, but not 95% of the way, with very few actual challenging bits here and there, so few that can be counted on one hand.

The excuse of “it’s supposed to be unfair around every corners, it’s inspired by I Wanna Be The guy!” Well here’s an essential difference which means you shouldn’t try to copy something:

IWBTG had no camera problems and has specially refined controls, GW2’s jumping mechanics are clunky, at best, and no first person camera 1 year after release speaks for itself.

Here’s a proof, case there’s any who call bull on it

I don’t mean to bash whoever came up with the idea of trying to copy IWBTG, I’m sure he’s a great person, but come on, I mean come ON.

..At the very least, the yellow hue on the skin is nice and the achievement points are decent.
