Woodenpotatoes on GW2's writing
Why don’t you list his criticisms in bullet points and edit your thread title? You might get more replies, instead of making us watch a 10-minute video.
This game is not about out-DPSing you. It’s about out-flashing you.
How many videos is this guy going to make about how he likes GW1 better than GW2? It’s like he doesn’t get it that GW2 is a completely different game and wants the entirety of GW1 rehashed/replayed in the GW2 universe down to the last pixel.
He even made a video about a house in Queensdale that didn’t have the same weathervane as in GW1. A weathervane for crying out loud that had no lore behind it, no story, no importance to it whatsoever – blasting ArenaNet for obliterating this weathervane from GW1.
Guy is kinda off imo.

Your quote tells me that you must have been living under a rock since long before release, WP has done a great service to the fans of GW2 with his videos. His criticism is as valid as it can be, and from what I can tell you: he loves GW2.
GW2 IS a different game, but that’s no excuse for poor writing and implementation of lore. Even the developers can see this since they are currently working on an improvement on the lore-delivery of the living story.
On the other hand I know you Karizee as a lover of GW2 as well. I’ve never seen you posting something non-positive about GW2 though. GW2 isn’t perfect and constructive criticism is healthy for the future of the game.
I watched a lot of WP’s videos, and I don’t agree with your post above. He never asked for anything like a copy of GW1 or something like that. Someone who doesn’t like GW2 doesn’t create lengthy lore info videos on GW2 in good quality and Anet retweeted his stuff as well.

start at 10:10… it lasts 3 minutes
I won’t take the time to transcript the video when you simply can watch it with one click.

I have never stated that GW2 is perfect because no game is. I do enjoy the game quite a bit but I’ve had my complaints as well. I’ve got my share of posts on the bug report forums and the Scarlet thing is getting old.
I’m not liking how long the Scarlet story arc is taking any more than anyone else does. But I do understand how they got here with Scarlet, how when they first brought her in we pretty much all went wild over the pocketwatches and graffiti and the whole nine yards and then ANet went full bore into this story line.
They recently said that the 4 month development cycle for this arc started back when they introduced her, they understand that we are tired of her and it will wrap up pretty soon.
I just don’t see the need to make a video every 3 days about what I don’t like since there are so many aspects of the game that I do like. Wooden Potatoes strikes me as a glass-half-empty fellow that will focus on his little gripes and not give credit where credit is due for a great game.
actually most of his videos are about stuff he likes about GW2. Some of his latest tweets:
“Edge of the mists tonight was a blast and had some great guides to show me the ropes!”
“People are SO mad about scarlett in the fractals! Ridiculous! She’s such a scapegoat for peoples frustrations and they don’t even know it.”
“Okay some pretty insane kitten can happen in WvW O.o (finally going for my meta)”
“Without a doubt! Dessa is awesome.”

He has made a few good videos, I’ve enjoyed a couple of his speculation ones.
But the overwhelming majority of his videos are complaint-fests and the overwhelming majority of his videos shows GW1 footage while he’s talking about GW2! Clearly, at some very basic level he does not like this game. His internal expectations are so very high they will never be met, he was so very attached to GW1 he will always be disappointed and he will always be searching for some meaningless weathervane.

A more interesting story than what we have now… yeah VERY unrealistic, I know.
Sarcasm off
Developers want to give us stories which are similar to TV-shows, I’ve never seen a 5min-dialogue-TV show though. WP mentioned in the video above about the potential the new fractals clip had. It lasts a few minutes and Dessa talks to us for a few seconds. One doesn’t have to be a writer to see that something is wrong here.
Quality may get better and better, I loved the bits about Glint during the Labyrinth Cliffs update, but the quantity in this game is just poor. I’m not satisfied with 5min of story every 2 weeks, sorry.
