Josh Strife Hayes Plays: Guild Wars 2 

The best thing GW2 does is hide that is pretty shallow by making the few things you can actually do fun.

@@Bad_Moon_Rising im curious, could you elaborate?

also i can't believe i have more mastery points than josh already...

@@Bad_Moon_Rising It's got just as much if not more going on than any other MMO. Calling GW2 shallow by MMO standards would be like calling WoW deep, which it decidedly is not. FFXIV and ESO may be a contenders for GW2 levels of content but but your standards, those are shallow too. Hmmm.

How are you liking GW1? I still play it and will as long as the servers stay up, but I have never been able to convince myself to like GW2. Which is why I'm watching this video. I want to play GW2, but I always log out, and go to GW1 for some reason. I was so pumped about GW2 release that I pre ordered GW2, and drove half an hour to my nearest gamestop, and waited for them to open so I could get my pre ordered copy. Only to hate it less than two hours in.

Maybe if he streamed more often we could move him back to the second monitor..

​@@thatotherguy338nah hes back up phone content.

But when does it actually start though. I am 15 minutes in and he is still fixing settings and talking about how things exist in real life...

This is a stream from September 2022. As in, last year.

gw2 on main screen, jsh on 2nd as god intended

What marketing?

EoD had such a great marketing campaign, everything from the artwork reveals to the specification trailers.

GW2 ads are everywhere. Better late than never I guess

Because there's nothing to do in it. Raids are abandoned for over 8 years. Dungeons are abandoned for almost 12 years. Pvp is dead since 2016. WvW is dead for almost 12 years. GW2 is what we call a polished turd. I looks good on the outside, but when you try to play the game, it offers NOTHING. This is the reason why the game is known to be a meme across the mmo community, and its never changing for the better.

​@@V_E_G_E_T_A_R_Dwhats with fractals and world events

​@@V_E_G_E_T_A_R_Di mean u only have nothing to do after idk few k hours in im still new buts gw2 ia legit the only mmo i like

@@stonelightning8d965 You get one fractal that is like a shitty strike once per year. If this is enough for you to keep playing, i dunno, its weird. World events are an unrewarding brainless spam. Its the worst kind of content this game has had since launch. Logging in into an 11yo game to do world events for some greens and blues is beyond ridiculous.

@@V_E_G_E_T_A_R_D idc about gear i care about the experience

reuploads channel i think

. . . so, why does a quick google search indicate that the last earnings report they released said they made at least 50 mil off this game lol? . . . and how do you explain the last 3 expansions if there's no content?

@@Jeebus-un6zz Did you pay attention to the earnings from the SOTO expansion? Its as if the expasion was never released, it made no effect on the game. This only happens in games that people log in on autopilot, and don't give a shit about what's happening in it. And you seriously though they wouldn't be making anything with their shitty loot boxes and now the season pass? They're printing the bare minimum, and as soon as it falls below minimum, ncsoft will shut them the fuck down, and which i expect to happen in 2025 or 2026 by the latest.

why are you so angry about this lol? Just dont play it and carry on with your life. I dont like some games but dont go on the internet to be so damn angry@@V_E_G_E_T_A_R_D

@@samuelashley5011The potential of the game was massive. They failed literally everything they could. If this doesn't make you angry, you don't care about your hobbies. And i am not playing this game for a long time now. Just spreading the reality of this title so newcomers don't waste their time on this dumpster fire.

I dont like it so if you DO like it then your hobbies mean nothing. Do you realise how stupid that sounds mate?@@V_E_G_E_T_A_R_D
