Guild Wars 2: The One Thread

[Fencers]

Hey, you are the one who links us all those dresses that are basically cut in all to the top ;p. Then again.. nothing wrong with a fine thigh and small glimpse at the lingerie =]

Making it worse. Keep digging...

That awkward feeling, when you realise this forum is full of pervy men

Oh please, my girl watches more porn than I do...

Hey...hey guys. I was going through my old posts for shits and giggles last night and I came across this thread. Anyone remember that? Most especially this special post?

I like the current format, people see the masks and go WTF for a minute, then they click the video and realize it's a joke and smile. Instant gratification, no consequence or terrible apocalypse everywhere.

Plus I get to troll everyone when it turns out to be true in a few months.

Man, that gave me another good laugh and a half.

you're a lucky man.. found a keeper

why isn't this a sticky anymore? I'm used to clicking it at the top of forum and read, but now I need to scroll down and hope it's still on first forum page
Strange =/ Any reason for this?

Info in the OP is outdated, and the OP has long since abandoned upgrading this thread. So the only real use of this thread, is to serve for basic chat of GW2 stuff, which Edge feels doesn't warrant it a sticky any more.

You can always bookmark this thread if you wanna keep up with it.

No reason for it to be a sticky.
It's not exactly 'informative' to people new to this subforum, it's pretty much just a chat thread centered around GW2.
A lot of good information is here, but it's spread across 950 pages. Not helpful. :P

It used to be the only thread for GW2...where all the info could be found.
This have got a little more crazy since xD
It's just a gw2 news chat thread now...and specific info comes out in many other threads. There's also the mass info sticky now.

Maybe she is trying to tell you something?

t(ツ)_/¯

ETA: If you can't tell im a sarcastic bitch by now, well sucks to be you

This thread gets more confusing by the minute.

Shuuuussssshhhhhhhhhhhh...ul reveal our plan to make it into another GW2 guild thread >.>

[Drakhar]

Even though it isn't stickied it's still usually on the first page so meh... no big loss

In general I would agree that gameplay is always #1, BUT I cannot stand the anime-style, I actually hate it with a passion so I wouldn't touch GW2 if it looked like Tera. But I know a lot of people love anime so I'm probably in the minority.

I see this come up all the time on all sorts of video game related websites, and I'm always perplexed by why I really don't seem to agree. My logic says gameplay should come first, after all, they're video GAMES, yet when I look at all of the games I've played and the few I've actually completed, it's always:

Aesthetics > Plot > Gameplay

I just can't seem to force myself through a game if it looks bad or bland or the plot is retahded. I'll easily suffer through bad/boring mechanics to see more beautiful art or learn more about its story, though. Guess I'm just weird like that.

Gameplay > Plot = Aesthetics

Though, all three are very necessary for me to enjoy the game I think.

[Fencers]

Somehow finding this page of the thread more shocking and offensive than the last.

[jvbastel]

While for me gameplay far outweighs aestethics, and to a smaller (but still pretty large) extent, the story, It's true that all 3 are important.

Aesthetics doesn't mean shiny top-notch graphics though. I can still go back to games like Lufia 2,LTTP, and even carma 1 and enjoy the hell out of them without being annoyed by the outdated graphics.

[Loyrl]

Gameplay usually wins for me, then I think its a tie for graphics and story. I can always go back to FF6 and ChronoTrigger and play the hell out of those games. Also can't wait for the BaldursGate re-release, I can't find my 5 cd's the original came on.

[Fencers]

I could NEVER play a game just because of how it looks

My jaw. On the floor.

[PonyCannon]

Well plot is a part of gameplay, not sure why you would separate them.

I think you can separate plot and game play. There are many games with great mechanics and a shitty story. I guess the two things may overlap a bit but I wouldn't really say they are the same.

There are lots of games with great mechanics that kept me going and a shitty story. Couldn't really say the same for the other way around (Mass Effect 1)

Oh, of course. By aesthetics I meant art style/direction. The Fire Emblem GBA games have some terrible graphics (as evidenced by my signature) but some of my favorite video game aesthetics anywhere. I actually put Shadow Dragon down after the very first fight (Marth and some bandit, I think?) because the battle screen aesthetics were so far gone from the "drawn" look that the GBA games had and looked more like cheap CGs.

Well plot is a part of gameplay, not sure why you would separate them...

Guess I shoulda clarified. By gameplay I meant mechanics and systems (and genre sorta too I guess). VNs are a special exception when it comes to video games because all of the Gameplay = Plot.

...I could NEVER play a game just because of how it looks, I could easily play a bad looking game if the gameplay is good.

May I introduce you to LSD (the game).
