     Using your logic shouldn't GW1 be competing with WOW right now?

     Your Wrong. Watch this and know that even this was done a while ago. This is just about graphics. I won't even start on gameplay as you obviously have not followed SWTOR.

    Im not trying to be obvious and I do follow tor in very great detail and will be playing it for a year, looking forward to it until next gen mmorg games finally appear on the scene. Less un-informed attack and more constructive analysis.

     And it makes sense for you to keep spitting out wow=tor though?????

  • BladestromBladestrom Member UncommonPosts: 5,001

    spitting? what are you jibbering about?

     True but I like to try and help inform the unwashed masses so they can, in fact make a more informed decision. BTW- I think GW2 is going to be outstanding as well. I am not comparing the two as I think both are worthy in different ways.

     And what kind of information could you possibly have to predict the state of any game in 1-5 years???

  • BladestromBladestrom Member UncommonPosts: 5,001

    dear god.  I am mistaken, tor will be much better than gw2 and archage.

    From your own personal opinion? I for one like the animations, they could be better sure, but they look decent enough to me. Combat looks fine as well, though I could nickpick at both games in this regard.

     Oh agreed and I understand just pointing out that at this point in this post some people are simply reading the thread title GW2 vs. TOR without even paying attention to the fact that it isn't even the point of this thread and making silly comments and comparisons to WOW

    Hey guys let's remember not to bait other users or personally attack them in any way. Thanks!

  • BladestromBladestrom Member UncommonPosts: 5,001

    this is a debate, i can compare to wow, it is relevant., read within context maybe.

    I only said it was 2005 level, it is a good advance, dont disagree.

    I like this.

    You're neat.

    Now I'm hungry...

     

    Long story short, here's my opinion (as if anyone particularly cares):

    Guild Wars - Great quality, seems to be quite innovative and fun, meaty combat, great animations, unconventional

    TOR - Quite conventional, story driven, atrocious animations, clusterf*ck combat, P2P... I could go on but you get the idea

    Such a balanced view....

    Whether or not you think my opinion is balanced is irrelevant to me.

    I've seen plenty of footage and information on both games, and I see nothing - - absolutely nothing - - that I find even remotely interesting about TOR.

    ^^ 'Ok what exactly is your opinion of WOW then????'

    eh?

    I think it was a superb game once apon a time.

    Now you're just being coy, why must one be better than the other that's the real question here?

    thats actually a very good point, First year TOR = really atractive.  Once GW2 and Archage is out I would love to commit to a game, I just cant commit to all 3, so I need to pick 1 out of the 3 and either Archage or GW2 looks to be trying to move on the mmorg genre (surely you agree?), so in the balance of all probabilty I would go with one of those 2, but hey, maybe just maybe I will play TOr as a nice side-dish, but it certainly is not a 2012 class game imo.

     Very informative opinion....

    But even without a real answer the point is you have a less than stellar opinion of WOW right now and hence the comparison to TOR and it's just stupid to compare them much like when we were young and our parents would make foolish statements about our music like "it all sounds the same" or they aren't even saying anything".

    I think I also touched on this because maybe you guys didn't read the entire thread and see but that isn't even the point of this post which is something we pointed out to the author in the first page by the end of this thread we would only have a bunch of wanna be die hard "innovators" taking the chance to trash one game (TOR) while praising another (GW2)  when they know next to nothing about either.

    We've all seen this before so excuse me for being skeptical of the "informed" opinions of people who tend to praise innovation up until they get the game and realize it sucks fantastically before returning to the forums to wage war against that devs that had the nerve to unleash those steaming piles of podoo onto the community.

     Then why waste time or energy trashing it other than to troll I don't like lots of games and unless I've spent money on them I don't waste time being a negative nancy it's really not a good look on anyone.

     I mearly replied that i thought WOW was a superb game, as a 200x game.  Im trashing nothing, read my last post. everything does not need to be simple black and white you know.
