Did this game try too much?

Yes this is very late, and times have moved on, but I tried this again after several abortive attempts.
Now don't get me wrong, I think this game was probably about as innovative as my left toe. But it sold itself on innovation, so I wish innovation was worth comment, but there is none. Immediately I am slightly confused by the media response, including this site, it is a bog standard mmo without anything to differentiate it from any other, so why the applause? It is is odd, who writes these articles and have they ever played the game? This game got a higher rating than GW1 despite being half the game.
The intention was to do a Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. It all went wrong when everything was bad. Many will disagree, but this is just the worst example of by-numbers corporate led tedium.

Yes, you are correct. It was average, but wouldn't you rather evoke some response rather than none at all?
I've been playing it again lately and am quite enjoying it. I only played it for a bit at launch and ditched it pretty quickly.
I just try not to think about the level scaling and illusion of vertical progression. When I think about these things I feel empty inside. Going to try to get a toon to 80 and see how the game develops.
Hope I make it.
Well try to much can't be wrong but promise to much is always wrong. And lets not get confused just because you didn't like the game doesn't mean it's bad, it just means that you didn't like it. I thought Titanic was a shitty movie and I am sure they made more then a buck on that movie and a few Oscars.
Well for the innovation part sure it's not a huge innovation that only has things that no one has tryied before but they atleast went outside of the box insteed of making another wow clone like Swtor. Now sure I loved GW1 more then GW2 but then again that doesn't mean that the whole world agrees with me. The game has been online for soon two years and it's going strong with a huge playerbase so maybe they diserved their good reviews cause many people like it.
it is quite funny how many say the game is just average but for a average game it sure is punching above it weight.
and why
because it was B2P
no other mmo since GW1 was released B2P thats why people buy it and play it
even yourself you can pick up your copy anytime and retry it there are no barriers and you don't need to resub
ask yourself would you have paid £15 to try it again for a month to see if you would have changed your mind
not many do that's why when people leave a mmo they really don't go back
but if in the few months something comes out for GW2 which is great well you can load it up and have a look yourself
I think that $15/ £10 a month really isn't a disincentive to play for many people. It is the equivalent of a couple of pints at the pub. The disincentive is a tedious game. You can give away boring stuff, no-one really wants it though.
Really just reading that part goes to show how biased and a troll you are, but kudos to your GW2 hatred, and your ability to use hate speech.
Lolipops !
clap clap
EDIT: I wasn't going to explain, but I will since you are clearly too stupid to understand. Oscars always go to people who play someone with a mental or physical disability. They always do because they are considered 'difficult' or 'dangerous (career-wise)' roles.
Tom Hanks: Retard has long been called that as a poke in the ribs to the entire award ceremony; not in anyway as a poke at people with a mental disability.
Perhaps now you understand that you can climb off your soap box?
so knowing what you know about GW2 if in a 3 months some new thing comes out for GW2 would you pay £10 to see it?
No, but I won't pay £0 seeing it either.
I played it for one year and had a blast. WvW is fantastic. Combat is better than in most MMOs, it is challenging and fun. When it comes to exploring and questing this is by far the best MMO on the market. For those who wounder why I do not play anymore: I just have other hobbies that I enjoy much more than playing video games
