Poll: Feeling a bit torn....

[Deathlisk]

I'm feeling a bit torn over 2 coming MMO's. Old republic vs GW2.
Thing is... I really like bioware, but it seems like GW is doing ome really cool stuff.....

So, what do my fellow escapist's think? GW or OR?

Im going guild wars 2 since, while bioware is known for good shit, Im just not really a fan of starwars anymore, the original movies were great but the new ones... ehh

guild wars 2 seems much more interesting then the old republic, partly because old republic really seems like its a wow copy, while guild wars 2 seems like its going a much more inventive route

I always kinda wanted to try the Star Wars MMO's but never got around to it, so I figure TOR is a good place to start.

I'm going with Guild Wars 2 because from what I've seen so far about that game, it seems more interesting to me and actually has me excited about it.

Old Republic, I can't care anymore about it. They tease the hell out of that game and show nothing but trailers. I have a very bad feeling about that game, I don't know what it is, but I have a feeling it's gonna be another WoW clone.

Well, the old republic takes place waaaay before any f the movies, and if you have played KotOR you know that the original games were actually really good. And taht's kinda the thing for me. I loved the original games but at the same time GW seems to be shaping up to be a really interesting MMO with a good structure on microtransactions (read: extra credits would be pleased).

Guild Wars 2 looks like the far more interesting game to me.

Guild Wars 2 is changing up the holy trinity of tank/healer/dps, and that alone gets me excited for how stuff will work. Plus ArenaNet is pretty damn awesome at doing storylines so that won't be an issue either.

 

[Deathlisk]

hmm. yeah. I think I will take GW, maybe there will be a demo on OR so taht I can try it a bit...

The old SW MMO was shit and insanely complicated, then they made huge sweeping changes to make less complicated and increase accessibility for new players, this pissed off old players who now hated the game.

TOR isn't made by the same people.

Also this is the local TOR chapter, join us; http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Star-Wars-The-Old-Republic-SW-TOR

OT: I'll stick with BoWare since I know they make games I like. GW2 just looks like Hi-res WoW and so far (if there are any good videos or whatever someone post).

 

[Smurf McSmurfington]

They're both MMOs, correct?
If that's the case, neither.

Actually, GW will be nothing llike Wo. You will have a personal story (will be about.... ehm many variations) and the DPS/healer/tank trinity will be gone.
I just read a little in the latest issue of PC gamer in sweden, and it really got my interest up!

Guild Wars 2 looks like it has better gameplay, so it wins by default for me. Not a fan of pre-release speculation though.

But that's part of the issue, I'm hearing stuff but I'm not seeing it. They can say whatever they want right now.

Fine enough, will be interesting to see at realease.
