So I've been watching gameplay footage of GW2 all morning. The # 1 impression I get from watching is that it looks way too easy to play. I would most likely get bored. So, I'd like to hear from people who have played it. Is it too easy?
So... you saw some videos of starter zones, of a game you have never played and deem it too easy....
I saw a movie where the airline pilot just moved some stupid stick up and down, looks pretty easy...
Actually there is a recently released video of a level 50 zone where the gameplay looks trivial.

no one has been lvl 50 in a stress test were the higher zones were available. There was a video of a dungeon by a gaming site (as in press) and no it wasnt trivial.

That was played by devs they have probably ran that dungeon hundreds of times and their characters have the best gear..so what do you expect..level cap is 80.
If I want challenging game play I'll go play something like TSW.
There's something difficult in TSW?

You remember the twenty page thread saying "I quit TSW it's too hard." Conversely I have not heard anyone say TSW is too easy.
Like I said I was suprised that I struggled against mobs in the WvW area being a newb aside. The starter area was very easy like in most mmorpgs. Will GW2 PvE challenge vetern players at level cap? It's too early to tell.
I Think GW2 Is a Product of a mainstream, and no one really thinks for themselves. I Find this game no better then any out there, i dont like the races wtf are those gnomes? nords look awfull, skills are a joke, all those who said No answered with the heart and not with the mind... wait till this game comes out and people realize themselves.

There were people over there saying that bc. I find it very hard to believe you somehow missed them. You don't remember all the threads complaining the game was simple because all you do is use one or two skills? Granted they were full of shit but they were running around.
1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.
2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.

People who are excited for the game have all played it.. at least on this website.
We realize exactly what this game is - that is why we are excited!

You right there were people saying the starter area was easy I don't recall many games with people quiting because it was too hard though. EvE, some other full loot sandboxes maybe.

One day you'll be actually excited for something and it will be a relevation to you. Life is too short to be such a downer.
Do people really care if it's easy? It seems to me the most important question is if iplaying is fun and engaging. Sure, people will throw up their hands and quit if it's too hard but they seem to forgive "too easy" much more readily as they progress. I am coming to think that most people playing games just want to feel good about what they are doing rather than prove their L337 skillz.

ok back on topic! lol
full loot sandboxes arent hard, they are unfair there is a huge difference.

You do realize nothing you said has to do with whether the game is easy or not? Do you? Sure hope so...not sure how your reasons equate to people "voting with their hearts". How are skills a joke anyways?
For the record, I haven't played enough to make a determination one way or another. Frankly though, can't say I have ever found an mmo particularly hard except for EvE. Which may not even be true in that the case but I could not get into it so didn't really play it much.

What is this fun thing that you are talking about?

Read the post, smart arse, he said that from watching the videos, it looked too easy to play. It's fair comment - as he says, he's never actually played the game.
To be honest, how often do people post videos of them failing over and over? So naturally it will show videos of people succeeding and making it seem easy.

Sheesh, you guys.....
Which is exactly the point....
OP admits to never having played and forms a judgment on difficulty based on nothing more than watching videos of low level areas? That is absolutely absurd.
It isn't a fair comment at all, and the entire point of this thread is to get a rise out of fans.

I don't think the body of his post really is bad. But the topic title? Yeah...pretty much baiting there.

Play for fun. Play to win. Play for perfection. Play with friends. Play in another world. Why do you play?
my review of GW2
Link? I'd like to see that.

How is this false ?
I mean IT IS a change from traditional combat system, but Id really expect "MMO vet" to pick it up easily
That was played by devs they have probably ran that dungeon hundreds of times and their characters have the best gear..so what do you expect..level cap is 80.

I know, I'm an adult and am excited. WTF.

I don't consider inidividuals who haven't actually played to have a credible opinion.
Try playing first, then judge.
