Anyone else find it odd that the game is not even released yet fans are already saying it is a fact

Based on some random beta videos at that, stating the game has close to no faults and is the 2nd coming of the messaih?

 

That is just really really wierd to me. It seems like these people are in an alternate universe, where this fantasy that Guild Wars is the perfect game is actually a reality.

    Odd?  No, this is pretty common.  it's been happening for a while now, at least with MMO's.  GW2 is the best thing ever, Archeage will revolutionize the sandbox gaming world, and the messiah is coming back...to play GW2 of course.

    Why do people turn to insulting SWTOR on a thread about GW2?

    It's a pretty easy target no matter what thread it comes up in.  I don't even take the OP seriously anymore, why should anyone take his threads seriously?

    You would think they would have learned from the hype that game recieved (which is not even close to the current hype GW2 is getting) that they are setting themselves up for a hard smack across the face by reality REEEEAAAALLLY soon.

    Didn't you get the memo? It's what the cool kids do to show off their uber cool pictures.

    I agree with you Castamir11...I am no longer a SWTOR fanboy, but why bash the game? Bioware delivered the exact game they promised...why the hate?

    It could be them or it could be you.  Are you the kind of person who needs everything spelled out for you with all the i's dotted and t's crossed?  Can you see  "gw2 will be a great game" as meaning "I HOPE gw will be a great game" without someone typing it that way?  If a dev said something about a game feature only to have it change during later stages of development, do you see that in a flexible way or does it stress you as you see it as a lie or the end of the world?

    Things taken to extremes.............

    I think you unintentionally highlight the real problem here... The OP did nothing to "trash a game" here.  He asked a very valid question, and now we have seen the results...

  • MonorojoMonorojo Member UncommonPosts: 411

    Yes because my post history is making anything I am saying less factual.

     

    Are there numerous individuals already calling this game "amazing" and great" based on beta videos? Yes

    Has the game even released? No

    Is this unwarranted hype a constant theme over the past 6~ years of MMO games? Yes

    How are people so blind to what is going on here? I am trying to help people back to earth yet it seems like the majority here are already too far gone to be helped.

    God forbid someone have a hyped opinion of something in their life;  we should call the thought police right away!

    Sacasm aside, am I suppose to be left with the impression that you've never, once in your life, been anxious about trying  something new?  Emotions are completely rational; what is irrational is, people who are empathically constipated around those who react normally to everyday scenarios.

    Yeah you are probably correct,I am going to regret my $60 GW2 purchase just like I regret my $50 GW purchase that I made 7 years ago./sarcasm off

    Can't argue with that logic....becuse there is none in sight 0_0

    Now I am confused. When the press gives SWTOR a good review they are being paid off. When they give GW2 a good review they are reputable?!

    Which is it?

    SWTOR had ad-revenue flying into the pockets of the review sites and an NDA blocking just about all of the beta content. GW2 doesn't from what I know.

    Sequels have never sucked ever! Right guys!?!?! Right?!?!!?

    GW was fun for while I played it but never once have I regretted its purchase as I am quite confident I will not regret GW2,I am quite confident that I will find $60 worth of enjoyment from it at release and when I get bored move on to something else.But just like I did with GW pick it back up again 7 years later for no extra $$$ and jump back in an find more enjoyment when the mood strikes me.

    So yes cant argue with that logic, I agree with you on that point.

    Now if your post is actually about some psychology thing and trying to figure out why other people think how they do and think that somehow you will change their opinions, I think I could argue about the logic of that on a gaming sites forum.Because I doubt you will sway anyone elses opinions much.

    That's my point. No one knows about that kind of stuff. But, people push it as fact when it is pure speculation.

    Sorry what?

    Saying this....

    "Based on some random beta videos at that, stating the game has close to no faults and is the 2nd coming of the messaih?"

    Is not a "valid" question. It is troll bait and does not actually discuss anything. There is a lot of information out there which indicates GW2 will be a solid game, but there has also been plenty of dialoge questioning certain aspects as well. 

    The OP has a history of trashing GW2. So lets drop this pretense his intensions are anything but destructive. If he wanted a serious discussion he would not have phrased his post the way he did. 

    Calm down atz, think about who you quoted and [why] they are saying what they are saying.

    Now of course someone will be a smart ass "Because he has an opinion."

    However we can play the pretend game on the forums, it's really easy to do so.

    It happens not just with GW 2 though, see threads like this start, well for no damn reason but to start shit, the main ones agreing have a dislike for the game regardless, or just want some sort of revenge.

    Now if we want we can click on page 2-5 you'll atleast see more topics about such n such then you will of the accusations.

    Just like I suspected, it's always those that don't like this game shitting out that messiah phrase, than fans being serious about it.

    Though Mono get at me when you find a cure for my Grandmother she has cancer as we speak, I played GW 2, it din't cure her as I thought it would.

    I might get banned for this. - Rizel Star.

    Did you see GW2 advertisements during the press beta? I didn't and that is why I don't know if they did.
