So far its way better than D3 or The Old Republic, so I am happy to not be disappointed for once in a long time. The launch has been smooth too, unlike other games by companies that could buy up half the entire world but cant even keep their little fucking servers running.
There has been no grind and it has been fun. Its still a little buggy and one thing that is pissing me off is if you jump down a large distance there is no landing sound. Small gripes.
I played The Old Republic for two weeks, I kept wondering if I liked the game and kept pushing myself to play it. It had no soul and it was really boring through and through. I can tell I like GW Two a lot just from playing it for four hours. The world looks great, the combat feels good and the events are organic and a lot of fun.
For $60? Its absolutely worth it.
One thing that I doubt any developer will ever get over WoW is the sound design, still havent played a game with solid transitions in ambiance and graphics like that game. But whatever. Its dead and gone.
