Guild Wars 2

was to play WOW for a bit. It was funny at first (Having played so much GW2 I was trying to dodge attacks and cast while moving), then i realized how awful the combat system is. The fact that you end up standing in the same place the whole time is incredibly unsatisfying, the fact that you can move makes it feel so much more like “real action.” The dodge also adds so much more to combat. In WOW, you don’t have to even see the enemy, only important thing is the health bar. I love how in GW2 you have to constantly watch the enemy to anticipate their attacks

Many wow players (and I’m including myself there) literally didn’t see their enemies, with custom visual interfaces covering up all the middle of their screen. It’s a bit silly, indeed.

The one thing that made me realize how good GW2 was… – well, it was the same thing of GW1. Realizing I was playing for actual fun, not to keep up with the latest added most powerful items or something. In other words, the game doesn’t pressure me to keep playing – I keep playing it because I’m having fun.

Instead we have particle spam to do that. Haha. =p

Well, I can’t deny this. Visual Effects on GW2 are a bit over the top.
They are gorgeous when you’re soloing, or even when you’re in a small group. But add in just a few more players and you can’t see anything anymore.
