Guild Wars 2 Beta Weekend. SWTOR or GW2, what do you prefer?

Guild Wars 2 PvE is very extensive, in fact for the longest time the only information given was about PvE, their whole manifesto for their game design was around PvE. Guild Wars 2 is definitely for PvErs. For GW2 they are doing things right for PvErs and PvPers.

Guild Wars 2 will be a strong contender for SWTOR for those people who only play 1 MMO because of limited time. It will come down to if people appreciate more of the excellent voice acting, static world, and a raiding end game, or go for a game that has a dynamic world, ok voice acting, and the end game starts at level 1. There are others reasons to stay for SWTOR or leave for Guild Wars 2. I'm ok with ok voice acting, and always hated that end game for MMOs have been raiding. But with Guild Wars 2 I get a dynamic world, end game that starts at level 1.

No PS2 game even looks like that screenshot. PS3 can look close to that, but no quite, but close.

you sir are ridiculous. no mmo has graphics that compare to a ps3 game.

I played GW2 and the graphics are on level with ps2 games. You can argue all you want but its true and the graphics are not of the quality of this game.

GW1 is really nothing like GW2. They are two very different games. For a 1 time 60 dollar fee this game gives you a lot to do. As long as you're not a 6 hour+/day player there is enough content in their initial release to last a VERY long time. Do you really think the content they've given us since December could EVER retail for 60 dollars in a store?

In a free to play game like this you pay only when the developers deliver somehting worth paying for. My 15/month since Dec (another 60 dollars ontop of what I've paid for the game ) hasn't really given me anything to write home about. I haven't even experienced most of it as I'm more fond of PvP in SWTOR than it's PvE (buggy and overly simplistic/easy).

They still blow out the silly graphics of SWTOR out of the water. And that is an understatement.

Just a question.

Why has any thread touting another games features get locked while this thread stays active?

PS2 game

Seriously? no, just no

Probably because there are a lot of people who are saying SWTOR is better. If the people in this thread only posted praises about the game it would have been deleted a long time ago.

im expecting this topic is going to be full of win

i predict,a couple more pages of flame wars against it.probably some people saying its wow with dodge.and then the mod will come along and close the topic

Easy...

TOR is sci fi and Star Wars

GW2 is..just another fantasy game.

The voice acting is HORRENDOUS. Same backdrop each time for every single cutscene. No running faster ability, the jumping is...awkward as well as the running. The graphics surprisingly are not that great. The only reason why they look good is because GW2 has a "motion blur" camera option that is default "on". The only thing Guild Wars has going for it is the dynamic events. Didn't TOR start dynamic events and are going to do more? Anyway..very very subpar game and mmo for that matter.

People were complaining like CRAZY! Where's my healer!!!? Where's the tank!!? We need a tank we can't take this boss down!!! Complete removal of the holy trinity system is the stupidest idea I have EVER seen. By the looks of it...the GW2 beta brought a lot of people back to reality. All over the place, I belong to LOTS of gaming forums and lots of people didn't like it. They say the things were cheesy, sub par, overall confusing and boring. There are going to be a lot of disappointed people out there when they pick up GW2. Again...it's one world. You can only go so far with one world. TOR has 17 worlds in a galaxy. There is UNLIMITED amount of room to how big this game can get.

For me anyway, I usually try to have one fantasy mmorpg, one sci fi mmorpg. But TOR is so strong with me, that I end up logging into my other mmos, then logging right back out and it's so...refreshing to play TOR!

SWTOR > GW2 ALL THE WAY
