Gw2 is going to die?

[Fey]

It could be some games were simply ports, but I don't think all of them were. At any rate, my point was game systems age a whole lot faster than PCs because you simply can't upgrade them.

Almost every game that comes out on PC are just ports. That's why PC gamers get so angry, because we have these big expensive machines and we're stuck with games that use 8 year old tech.

Not that I mind personally, I mean I own every console too. I'm just sayin, consoles don't exactly push gaming to new limits. They're always technologically behind and because of that, always limiting in comparison. Game designers just make more money off consoles since more consumers would rather drop $200-$400ish for the current gen (when they release) compared to $900 for a PC.


That said. It's much better to have games that are designed well and have good gameplay compared to just being pretty and pushed to the edge graphically (like GW2 for example). It's a slippery slope either way you swing it.

I don't really mind consoles being behind. I feel like we're at a point where boosting the graphics takes more money and effort than it's really worth. I'd rather developers just use good aesthetics/gameplay/etc.

[Lagger]

I haven't seen a game with good gameplay since Portal 2 came out. Everything else is just copies of copies or copies mixed with other copies. Mind you, some of the copies are great. But hardly innovative and I haven't been really emotional about any game since ME3. God, I still hate Bioware for that.

I'm procrastinating as long as I can, but I will probably find myself exclusively in the indie game niche sooner or later. They lack the money to make cheap copies like EA, so all they have are their ideas. And some of them are great.

Urgh, looks like the same haters and doomprophets that linger on the official forums (and probably got banned there) have found their way to this forum.

No, GW2 is not meant to be a "WoW killer", GW2 is not meant to be WoW/GW1 with better graphics.
No, GW2 is not going to die.
No, consoles aren't going to replace desktop computers.

Whoa settle down, I was just saying that I think elder scrolls will have more content. It's just an opinion. I just didn't word it right. I think that Elder scrolls online will end up with more players and have better and more content. I don't think it will be instant, but I think it will happen. And yeah, they could fail. I never said they couldn't. I get it, you are a Guild Wars 2 fan. So am I. You never know, Guild wars 2 could fail and never create worth while content anymore. Don't think its true though. Guild wars 2 is a pretty good game. I just think Elder Scrolls Online will be better.

How do you know that?

It sounds to me like ESO is just the next hype.

Urgh, looks like the same "late" reply to a conversation we have already had. But whatever, I guess you got your two cents in.

No,
No,
Noooo, just stop already.

Everything dies sooner or later, GW2 is going to die because A-NET is killing it. But it could take like WoW 8 years or more to die. Who cares, if you like the game play it, if you hate it complain about it, I do.

Pretty bad advice there. If you hate it, stop wasting your time and go play something you like. Didn't it occur to you that coming to complain about a game you don't like doesn't make this a better forum? Remember guys like Graaka, and Ruzak, and Ki, and Shiael who used to post here? They're all in my guild, and they all play every day, and they all stopped posting here because of the negativity. And those are only the names I can think of off hand. There were plenty more.

So you get some entertainment out of bashing a game that clearly other people enjoy...to what end, exactly? To change the game? To vent? To annoy people? You bought a game and played it for MANY hours. That's value for dollar. If you no longer enjoy it, go play something you do enjoy. That's good advice.

Coming to this forum and doing what you do not only doesn't help anyone, but it sets the tone for the entire forum. You didn't do it alone of course. There were plenty of people who jumped on the down with Anet bandwagon. And you know, the game doesn't seem to have less traffic, so someone probably does like it.

Why can't you let people enjoy their game?

[Mr Crow]

Just to offer my two-penneth.

I enjoy the game. A lot. I also read these forums quite a bit and yes, there is negativity here. Will it stop me posting or playing? Nope.

For me, I know I won't get a legendary, I won't be dungeoneering and I'm pretty sure I'll never see these... fractals things. I'm not particularly bothered about the high end game; my enjoyment is coming from experimenting and exploring. And I have truck loads of both to do.

So, is GW2 going to die? Yes. Time and tide wait for no man but, while it's there, I'm having a great time doing what I'm doing.

Vayne, you act like just because we criticize the game, we don't like it. The reason we still play it is because it is fun at parts and we know the true potential of the game if Arena Net would just improve it.

LOL dont get mad with Vayne, he is a sgrouchy as I am. But his glasses are still tinted, mine faded away after the November's patch, as soon as A-NET do soemthign that bothers him, he will understand.

People have the right to voice their opinion, some like some dislike. Like I said before and Vayne loves to ommit this, I have said before I love the GW2 dynamic events, exploration, leveling what I dislike is the NERF of drops, the forcing me into doing Dungeons that I despise, some of the jumping puzzles that seem absurd, some are freaking easy and some are freaking hard. I hate and despise Orr because of the pile of mobs one in top of other, I hate the quick respawn of mobs in Orr, dont mind in other areas, but Orr c'mon is horrible.

I love all the starting areas, specially Charr and Norm, I love all the events and the finding of secret stuff. I like that. I hate to have to pay for using Waypoints. So there are a lot of stuff I like, but Vayne always ommit those and only points out what I hate.

But I still love him and I forgive him you know what because he is a swell guy with a tonn of patience, but like we all know we all cannot be perfect like me.
