    Default Tera vs GW2 vs Rift [No Flaming]

    I know this is the wrong area for this, but this is the most active part of the forum.

    Rift, Tera and GW2 are all coming out this year and I'm pretty stuck on which one to get. I was hoping you guys could possibly post the pros and cons of each one.

    Hopefully this doesn't become like the other thread.

    posts like this will always start a troll war tbh.

    but i'm biased since i loved gw so i will choose gw2

    here's the thing i'm a full time student that has a loan to pay. gw is a one time fee. the rest has a subscription.

    they're all different styles of gameplay. not sure bout rift but im pretty sure tera is more of a fast paced hack and slash and gw is more mmorpg wasd.

    hack and slash is fun but it does get tiring and tbh i like clicking sometimes.

    Well, the main point of the post is to figure out the cons of the games. I've already heard the good points from the devs and fanboys, but nobody every talks about the weaknesses of the game.

    Yea haha threads like these will always start a troll war.
    Imo, I'm goin with Guild Wars as well. I've always loved the Guild Wars series, and GW2 looks amazing tbh. And it's only a one-time fee as well which is a huge bonus. I did try out Rift in the CB and OB, and it was pretty good, but GW2 just looks stellar so I'm goin for that.

    most people here will say guildwars 2, even though they barely played guildwars 1 (the infamous onrpg hype)
    you're better off not asking here

    Pick the one that seems to appeal to you the most, watch trailers, read interviews,etc.
    We cannot tell you which one to get because taste is unique to each person, the one that appeals to me may not appeal to you for example.
    If you do what I suggested above, it should help you decide.

    the two games are really different. you can't really compare gw1 and gw2 other than the story and classes. from the videos and info gw2 plays more of a typical mmorpg.

    you don't have to love the first game to fall in love with the second game. i mean gw1 wasn't for everyone and the instances and low level cap were big minuses for some.

    gw2 is open world with a relatively high level cap from my info. the game has stellar graphics and the super alpha looked awesome. it deserves the hype it is getting. artwork is awesome classes are unique races are pretty sweet too.

    I know that and that's why I tried to stay away from opinions by asking for the pros and the cons which are usually agreed on by all parties.

    To conclude this tread i would like someone to remind us what is a mmorpg, a definition would be the best if possible.

    RIFT= US based developers, no translations to do for english players, no past patches - (I know TERA is asian, korean?, the US version will be behind always unless whoevers publishing it is somehow awesome, and so far I havent heard of any of the people behind it besides frogster, who are terrible)

    RIFT is going to be out in a few days (like a week if you didnt preorder) so it's the earliest to play. RIFT is the more traditional RPG, not mind numbling boring click and wait, but not face paced real time action, where you can miss just because your sword or arrows weren't aimed right, or you can dodge because you did a backflip. Hate using this comparison, but basically like WoWs combat.

    Graphically RIFT is nice, it's nothing completely new but the visuals are very pleasing at medium-high settings, I think out of all three, RIFT is probably the most behind.

    Storywise, RIFT is fine, I like the story, very simple to understand.

    I may be a RIFT fanboy, mostly because I haven't played TERA or GW2 yet (who has played GW2 anyways? Maybe what 2 people here possibly?) They all look promising, who said you couldn't have your cake and eat it too, isn't GW2 going to be B2P like the first or no?

    TERA - Very visually nice, but I hate the art direction. Way too JRPGish with the big breasted skinny cat girls and armor that is more effective the less it covers, my main gripe, and the fact it's mostly no name publishers/ developers, Its basically the same with RIFT, as no one knows TRION since they're new, but they have a lot of financial backing from named corporations (coup d'etat to take out WoWs monopoly TBH).

    Besides the visuals and the somewhat fun looking combat system, I really know nothing about TERA since it's not in english OB or anything.

    GW2- i'm too tired

    tl;dr GW2 is probably going to come out on top of everything

    Well, I tried Rift, I liked it but it wasn't enough for me to buy it. For others, they love EVERYTHING about that game, and that's fine too.

    As for TERA & GW2, I wouldn't really know. I'll be giving TERA a shot. It does look beautiful and it's the current rave in Korea, but so is Aion (and it bombed in the U.S.).

    But I've been keeping track of GW2 and yes, I'm one of those people who wasn't a GW1 player. So, if TERA isn't as great as it's expectations, I'll be going for GW2.

    My suggestion is to just wait it out. Rift is out right now and I'm sure there is a trial (or there's going to be) for the game, so try it out. TERA should be coming out before GW2, so once the beta opens, try it out. Then try out GW2.

    I've seen many Tera videos and lately I am not anymore 100% sure if its that good. GW2 still looks awesome. Probably going for it. And I played few years ago a lot Guild Wars.

    i will play Tera hands down. It's on of the few games where skills and timing actually matter in the game, it's not about the best gear or crit/dodge rate %. in this game the underleveled/undergeared can actually beat an higher opponent with skills. But anyway i will buy GW2 too, B2P ftw
