***POLL*** So which should I get with birthday money? Diablo 3 or Guild Wars 2?

I loved Diablo 2 and the original Guild Wars, spent YEARS playing both........but for your money, if you had to choose the better game, which would it be?

You will probably get many more hours out of GW2, so that's what I recommend, even though Diablo 3 in it's current state is pretty awesome.

GW2 by far. Diablo 3 is imo a dissapointment, and the game is basically play the same acts and gundeons over and over again with just a higher difficulty.

you wont find anyone voting for D3 me thinks

Diablo III is an addicting but very average action roleplaying game. When I quit playing Dibalo 2 I thought to myself "yeah that game was awesome but time to move on". When I finished playing DIablo III I figured I had wasted my time on the product. The combat is good (good enough to keep people playing until they gear up). But everything else about the game is the epitome of medicore or average.

Haven't played GW2 so can't comment on that.

GW2 hands down

Maybe it was a sign that Guild Wars 2 was released on my birthday ;)

buy the least popular one so you can feel a little more unique and awesome.

OMG he said Guild Wars 2 and the mods haven't locked it yet!

I'm asking opinions on 2 different games, not asking a specific question to GW

Guildwars 2 without a doubt. D3 is such a letdown, don't bother. GW2 is far far more enjoyable, and will no doubt last you MUCH MUCH longer!

Edit: Your Mileage May Vary!

GW2. A good, free to play MMO trumps D3 easily. Unless you love "lootz", then maybe D3 but it is very grindy to get the good stuff.

Both are awesome but at the moment I'd have to say GW2, they are working on lots of nice changes for D3 so it's probably a better product if you get it later on.

hmmmm.....maybe once the inevitable expansion comes around ;)

neither both are beyond overrated.

D3 should have been less than $15. It's worth one playthrough. Can't hold a candle to D2.

GW2 is no World of Warcraft. It's basically a rift hybrid and does nothing new. Awful graphics for 2012.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="DanielDust"] The graphics are good, but it runs terribly bad for how it looks.DanielDust

For a single-player experience, Diablo III. If you've got online, which I'm assuming you do, then Guild Wars 2.

Yes, when games run bad, so bad it takes the fun away, people worry about it and hope it'll get better, they don't go "it's okay man, because it's fun".

Not sure why you're suddently trying to hide all this, now that it launched, everyone knows the worst problem of GW 2 is optimization, the rest of the problems being irrelevant, since overall it's a great game, or what, you're going against "game runs bad" because it somehow sounds like the game is bad or what?

No need to be rude. I meant if you want to play multiplayer, then play Guild Wars 2. Diablo III's multiplayer pales in comparison.

D3 gets boring real fast in SP. MP is more entertaining and strategic, but it's not up to par with other, better MP games.

You can try Diablo 3's "demo" (up to level 13) so you can decide for yourself:

Diablo 3 is pretty dang fun as long as you don't expect the replay value to be in the 300+ hours unless you are very hardcore. And replay it is, literally.

GW2 looks great but I hear many people say the PVE becomes really boring really fast. I havn't played it myself yet so wouldn't know.

You deceide.

I'm pretty sure GW2 will be better than D3. Blizzard might fix D3 some time later, but right now GW2 must be the better choice.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="DanielDust"] It runs worse than BF 3, that is in no way, shape or form acceptable by any stretch of the imagination. It's the only thing that kept me from joining day one, waiting for areas to clear a bit, hopefully next week. It's a decent looking game, not more not less.DanielDust

I am actually kind of shocked that your asking this question.. Weren't you the biggest fan of Guild Wars in this forum if memory serves? Would think Guild Wars 2 would be the obvious pick.. As for D3... Its ok to good.. To me it feels alot like Diablo 2 was at release.. Amazing at first but just wore down after awhile.. It was really only after the expansion and numerous patches that it really became amazingly addictive.. Diablo 3 is on the right steps but I honestly think it has a long ways to go before it can get any where close to the kind of level D2 got to.sSubZerOo

Yes, a big fan, I suppose I was less vocal of my love for Diablo 2

Diablo Wars 2 and a half.

Somethings wrong then.. Because I play on my 7850 at 1080p, everything max oued, fxaa AA.. And it bounces from 40 to 80 fps.. It usually hovers in the high 40s to mid 50s..

Not sure about Diablo but you could see what you would get with GW2 a mile off so don't pretend to act disappointed about it.... Not that you should be, it's a good MMO in its own right I'd say.

I liked GW1 and am not that impressed with GW2, mostly due to the graphics being so dated looking. I can't get over that. Diablo 3 looks great and has been a lot of fun for me.
