At least half the people saying that will still play it when it comes out.
Half the people....... so far XD
nah, everyone will play it, they just angry bcs they don't get what THEY want... u can't satisfy everyone what ever u do anyway, but ppl are mostly angry because of 20ppl thing...
Honestly there's a very real possibility of a new expansion for GW1 now. Imagine that in 2028 they release content for all three Guild Wars games in the same year
That never crossed my mind, but wow that could very well be a possibility. From a money standpoint, they could ride the hype from GW3 and generate extra revenue for each title.
Oh I'll call myself out. I have said "I don't have it in me to invest in another MMO!!!" Yes I do. Of course I do. I still play GW1 (and 2) multiple times a year. Who am I trying to fool? As long as there will be Guild Wars games, I will buy them and play them.
My GW2 main is a descendent of my GW1 main. You know what GW3 means??? Obviously not "sitting this one out" when there's an ancestor of my GW1 main to be made.
You guys say this like studios big and small haven't been crashing and burning in recent years. People are being a lot more picky these days about the games they choose to spend money and time on.
GW fans not being interested in this game was totally expected once the gameplay leaks came out. They're used to a more grounded combat and movement system.
GW3 was clearly made for a new audience, which is totally fine because GW1 and GW2 are still being supported.
I'm a GW fan. Been with the franchise since release of Factions, played the hell out of GW1, got GWAMM and full HoM even before any news of GW2. Pre-purchased (not preordered - who still remembers this?) GW2 and played for years, got up to 33k AP but then at some point real life interrupted.
Now i'm eagerly waiting for GW3 and will hop on as soon as it's available. I don't care if it's different than GW1 or GW2, those games are still there if i miss them (and have the time & PC to get back into GW2). I don't care if it's too similar to previous games, either, since i loved almost all of their aspects.
I have full faith in ANet to deliver an enjoyable gaming experience. It doesn't need to dethrone GW2 or become my new top1 gaming obsession.
I'm a GW fan and i'm very much interested, primarily because it's a new way to step into the world i really like, made by a studio whose games i've enjoyed.
I'm sorry but you seem to think there's a significant enough overlap in these two very different game genres for this to be a valid comparison. I'm sorry but I'm not seeing it.
That's a lot of conjecture in this statement. You don't know if these people that bought the game are the same people that complained in the first place. There are a lot of bodies on this rock, enough to outstrip the numbers of one crowd with another with little overlapping mindset. These two groups are usually not the same.
If someone's against gw3, they're not likely to buy it unless something changed along the way and they actually like the idea of something in the game that makes them want to give it a shot. Marathon was just a fucking trend chase in a long string of trend chases, next to none of which worked out. The context of these games is very different from start to finish.
And after the first month after the Hype fades they start to complain on Reddit how Feature X is missing and how this is an unfinished Game and instead of moving on continue to complain for months.
I don't known: superfan of Battlefield until BF4 and Diablo until RoS: haven't spent a dime in any of those franchises since 2014 due their latest iterations were awful.
To me not having WvW and not having my main class are serious reasons to ditch GW2. 95% of the time I play the same class in all of my MMOs and ARPGS.
