Guild Wars 2 IGN Review

ArenaNet has built one of the most exhaustively detailed and rewarding MMOs in existence, one that never unfairly penalizes and fosters an incredible urge to explore through a generous reward system and achingly pretty environment design. It’s a virtual world that more than anything wants you to work together with others, and provides a huge number of possibilities for cooperation while minimizing restrictions. For those disappointed in the lack of open world PvP, the World versus World alternative is a fascinating, complex system that demands teamwork, and the arena PvP modes should provide an instant-fix for those who thrive on fast, adrenaline-fueled combat. Whether you’re looking for competitive play, want to be told a story or simply want to go for a walk through fantastic countryside, Guild Wars 2 lets you do it all with a minimal amount of arbitrary, irritating limitations, and all without a subscription fee.

Finaly a mmo that is great!

Although I might risk losing my head, I thought SWTOR was a great MMO. But I can agree GW2 looks like it reaches that level of quality an MMO has reached for quite some time: exemplary (maybe excellent) status.

GamerToons4260d ago

SWTOR was an ok MMO. It really is a reskinned WoW clone but it is a decent game. It's not really fun after you hit a point the whole game is a chore.

GW2 hasn't felt like a chore yet and I already have more hours in it then I did SWTOR.

People that just like good games should give GW2 a shot.

very much so... "blank" is still a thing" is also still a thing as you can can surmise.

PRIMORDUS258d ago (Edited 258d ago )

Anet also announced the 5th expansion. "We’ve already started applying lessons from the development of Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure to our fifth expansion, which we expect to be released next year." From their site, been with this game since 1st beta, and announcing the 5th expansion so soon, the game is doing very well, plus the graphics are improved a bit now that it's on DX11🙃

TGG_overlord258d ago

Correct, and yes. Imo, they've done very well for themselves, and I'm very impressed with what they have achived with GW2 since the game launched.
