GameXplain Writes: "I'll come right out and say it. Guild Wars 2 was my favorite game of PAX. It's strange to say that because I'm honestly not a fan of MMOs. I find them to be plodding, repetitious, and lacking in the rewards that other games provide. I didn't find anything to change my mind when I played Final Fantasy XIV and while it was great to be part of the Star Wars universe in The Old Republic, it still felt like any other MMO. Neither had anything in their demos that truly pulled me in. But when it came time to take a look at Guild Wars 2, I was absolutely hooked by its live demonstration, forty minute demo, and truly engaging features."
Wccftech talked to Guild Wars 2 Game Director Josh Davis about the learnings from the Secrets of the Obscure expansion and what's coming to the MMORPG.
The "slippery slope" debate has started, now we wait to see what ArenaNet does.
"ArenaNet and NCSOFT are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the "Secrets of the Obscure" expansion for their award-winning and critically acclaimed MMORPG "Guild Wars 2"." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
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🙃
Lookin' good!
Woo!
Looks very good but it ain't out yet. No one knows how it'll do on a large scale.
