I’m new to the game, but I absolutely love it. The graphics, character customization, the maps and attention to detail, and the music. Yes, the soundtrack is nothing short of glorious for a game, in my humble opinion. And for all the above-mentioned reasons I can’t stand SAB. The graphics, the sounds, the platformer feel… Possibly surprising given my (old) age. But I personally can’t wait for the next non-SAB release. Arenanet has done a superb job as far as I’m concerned, and I’m certainly willing to tolerate a screwy release here and there.
Judging by the otherwise generally positive comments in this thread I appear to be in the minority.
