Guild Wars 2

So I finally emerged from playing GW2 long enough to check the forums and all I’m seeing is a vast swathe of whining and complaining about every little thing. Having played this game as obsessively as my life will allow since release and relishing every moment it came as quite a surprise that these forums would be so negative.

To Mike O’Brien and all the hard working folks… no genii, at ArenaNet: Thanks for all the hard work it must have taken to build this beautiful, immersive, funny and absorbing game. I already feel like I’ve got my $60 worth, and I’ve barely scratched the surface.

It’s no hyperbole to say this is the best PC game and best RPG I’ve ever played; and I’ve been playing PC games since Wing Commander I. Yes, it’s even better IMO than Deus Ex.

BTW, all the fellow players who came across from another MMO with me agree entirely, thing is they’re too busy having fun in Tyria to do something so trivial as read a gaming forum.

Anet – don’t take the army of Veruca Salt clones on the forum too seriously. You guys rock, and the game is a masterpiece.

This is my first real MMO, but so far I’m having a blast. Other than a few minor gripes I have with the game GW2 has exceeded my expectations in almost every way. PC GOTY for sure

Thank you, Anet.

Same here, and same for most people I know in the game. This is the best, most beautiful, most enjoyable video game I’ve ever played.

I’m loving it as well. I explore, craft, help people along the way and take keeps with my guild in WvW – and I too feel like I’ve only scratched the surface. It’s disheartening to read the negativity in the forums, but no game pleases everyone. This one definitely pleases me and the vast majority of my friends playing it. Thanks Anet

Wait till you get to level 40+ and the big game bugs start glaring at you…

Hear hear. TBQH, after SWTOR (great stories, substandard MMO) and TSW (great stories, just not enough game) I’d been on the verge of giving up on the genre. Since my first 3 year addiction to an MMO with City of Heroes, I’d been chasing the “buzz” with other MMOs ever since, but never really found it. Some MMOs have come close, but none of them has “had it all”. So far as I’m concerned, GW2 has it all, and it’s revitalized my interest in the genre. (And surprisingly so for me, since I was wary of the hype and didn’t like the screenies and beta vids – i.e. me trying GW2 out was almost a last gasp type of thing, but I’m sooooo happy I did )

Great game. I have almost hit level 80 and there is still a HUGE list of stuff I want to do. If only to just roam the zones and participate in events that I encounter. Doing DE’s has not gotten old yet, I guess for some they were just a way to get to level 80 though.
