I have already purchased this. Love the game and it is really fun. It got tons of attention at PAX East.

Gary how'd you fit that whole audience in the studio? :3

It's good to see Lis back, especially when she turns red like that lol. Not that Jesse was horrible, but he can't replace Elisabeth. Scott is always a beast, and Richie seems genuinely passionate about the game. Thanks for the show.

The default UI is fine, but I personally would like the ability to adjust things. What's wrong with more options?

I never had any real qualms with the UI (aside from my rebound keys still appearing as 6-0) aside from it being just a bit too large, for me. Good show, though

I hate this. I loved Stargate SG1, the movies, and the other series with a passion, and if done right it would fit so well into a MMO game. Sometimes you just want to stab people in the eye with a sauntering iron. -_-

"First person shooter vs third person shooter"

sure, give it a genre change, everyone seems to like having their own special little genre nowadays.

Wasn't the biggest Tera fan during beta but I decided to purchase the game out of boredom. Interesting news, but there is alot more interesting things going on with the game. Why isn't the news about Vanarchs/elections and other patches discussed on the site?

I hope we can have addons to allow authors to re-create the UI. I also hope we are allowed to move things around.

I too found myself fighting with 6-0 and hope we can re-bind them with modifiers.
I'll still play the game of course, but I'd play more effectively if I could do the above.

Scott needs an addon to tell him when to avoid fire.

I found the commentary more fun than the game play...

I really hope they figure this out. I was looking forward to the MMO. The RPG they created is pretty fun and the world is interesting. Game play was nothing like WoW outside the quest system which... lets be honest WoW did not invent.

Only thing that concerned me was the UI/controls. I really disliked the console control... either way I am hoping they can come up with a game that is challenging but not stupidly so... and nothing like WoW.

I watched this live from Gary's perspective. Still awesome to watch again and pretty cool seeing it from MikeB's perspective this time around.

This is the only line from his argument that fits your description of his article:

"What it comes down to is that the above points are indisputably better than the alternatives. You can debate the worthiness of individual mechanics or gameplay paradigms, but those four points are simply better than what most MMOs offer, hands down."

From what you are saying, he may have changed his title, or something else occurred. If he did change it, the current title looks fine to me.

An empirical fact would be his experience alone, without scientific method or theory. I can't say if he has additional evidence to support his views, but one of the points of scientific method is multiple people running the same experiment several times, and see if the same results happen. In something that is entirely opinion based as to whether something is better or not, observation from a large base is required.

From most of what I have seen, the vast majority of players DO consider the points he made to be BETTER for the MMO market. I personally agree as well, but again, these are opinions, but since majority of those that have played GW2 so far have enjoyed it (90%+ poll... haven't seen it myself, but heard of it a few times), and these points were discussed multiple times, it doesn't make him wrong.

Whether he is right in the end, will have to wait until after release of GW2 and see how the MMO player base react to it. If they react favorably, the MMO market will have to adapt. If they don't seem to care as much, only smaller portions of the market will change.

as a huge stargate fan im incredibly saddened and a bit angry that some one would squander such an awesome IP.

Best game ever

The game was smoother mainly because there were a lot less players in each area. If you ran something like Process Explorer you could still the game is still CPU limited and is using less than 30% of the GPU's cycles (on a mid / high-end GPU), even with everything maxed out.

In the previous BWE (as in this "stress test") I had exactly the same frame rate with everything maxed out or with everything set to the minimum. I even tried multiple resolutions and it made no difference. What made a big difference was how many other players were near me. In the BWE everyone was in the starting areas, so it was painful, but now players were more spread out (and were being bounced to overflow servers sooner, it seemed), so there were rarely more than 10 or 15 players near me at the same time.

I compared the frame rates in a couple of reasonably empty places of Divinity's Reach and they were the same as in the previous beta weekend. However, simply running Fraps lowered my frame rate by about 15.

P.S. - How is it news that Easter Island statues have bodies? Just search for "Easter Island" on Google Images (or whatever) and you'll see plenty of photos showing statues will bodies. There are a few statues buried up to their chest / neck, but given that the others have bodies, why would people assume that those don't?

GW2 IS NOT A PVP CENTRIC GAME!!! You are only making assumptions and to be honest, you don't seem to have much of a clue about anything concerning GW2 other than saying that it is broken and pales in comparison to Tera. Why don't you just go play Tera and leave GW2 alone as it's clearly not what you want it to be?

I know I saw a trailer for the game, and thought: Hey, I'd play this. I'm sad it didn't actually get made :/

OMG! Another game where Gary has to carry Mike B and the rest of them through the game. Gary, we appreciate it, we know it must be frustrating for you.
