Guild Wars 2

I understand that generally game comparisons are not allowed so I will keep that part to a minimum. After recently getting an actual gaming pc and being able to experience the game at max settings for the first times, this game is absolutely gorgeous and I tip my hat to the people in charge of the art direction.

I used to come from games like WoW and recently tried Rift, and I humbly respect both those games for what they’ve contributed as well. This is my own opinion, but Guild Wars 2 currently has my favorite visuals out of any mmo so far. Although graphics don’t make a good game, it’s really a treat for me to be able to play the game at max settings and appreciate a lot of the detail. xD

I almost find it shocking the amount of threads that talk about how “boring” the game is or how it’s going in the wrong direction. I’ll be honest, last year when I played at launch, I kinda felt the same, like something was missing. I came back much later and found that not only was it a good game, but it was surpassing many standards I had for it in the first place.

It was my fault because I didn’t invest myself enough in the content and what the game had to offer, I was trying to play the game like WoW instead of playing it like it was Guild Wars 2 with fresh ideas. Granted I paid $60 for such a massive world to play in, branching story lines, and improved mechanics that gear towards team work, I absolutely got my money’s worth.
