Hello everyone! Hope you have a good day. The firsf post about WoW was deleted, still don’t know why, but let’s continue right now with the second game. This week, it’s Guild Wars 2! When it come out, people were saying, like a lot of time, “THAT’S THE WOW KILLER OMG”. Even if it didn’t, this game is still one of the most popular. It have no subscription, and a lot of content, with a unique chara-design. The semi-target semi-action fights are loved by some, hated by others. So, what do you think about this game? Do you play it? What’s your best memory of it? Did you played it a little bit too much? Tell us everything in the comments!
I started gw2 about 8 months ago and fell in love with it almost instantly. The art style is amazing, and makes almost any view look like a painting of sorts. But what really sold me the game was exploration.
I was mining my first ores in a cave in Caledon Forest and saw something weird in the corner. I climb up and find an opening, through which I enter a huge cavern filled with lava, golems, floating holographic platforms and all that. (first time seeing Asuran tech/buildings) I just stood in awe for a minute before doing the jumping puzzle. The area wasn’t on map and it was glorious. The fact that the game manages to give me this feeling of discovery in every zone over and over again is astonishing (and somewhat addictive).
I do have to admit that the core game’s story was underwhelming. But by the end of Living World Season 2 I was hooked already. Oh, and I couldn’t play the game without action cam (activated in the settings).
Yes, exploration is probably the most important thing in a game for me, with ambiance. Guild Wars 2 delivered me this, with the possibility to explore with others!
