i play on ps3, i have a keyboard though so im not one of those people that just spams emotes at the end of a dungeon

controller support is amazing, i can keep punching a monster's butthole while shouting directions at my group
if i wanted to get really frisky i could map everything to right hand so i can type at people nonstop but it isnt really necessary

holy poo poo you like it this much on PS3? It's insanely better on PS4.

I grabbed it on PS3 for the crossbuy deal they got going on and once I played it on my PS4 i could never go back

Having played several MMOs, Guild Wars 2 is the only one I could recommend to another human being in good conscience, and even then with a substantial list caveats. What saves it for me is that its version of open world PvP is really drat good and it has the most elegant and enjoyable RPG combat system I've experienced outside of Dark Souls 1 & 2. Plus it has free updates and no sub fee whatsoever, so I drop it for a few months and pick it up again just like Battlefield or whatever.

how is the combat in GW2 remotely good? it's the same cooldown clicker garbage as any other mmo just with some ineffectual "dodges" built in. elegant really? i guess in a world where elegant means whatever you want.

enjoying mmos is a sickness imo.

tera's combat was really good what with enemies not hitting you unless they physically hit you and dodging and poo poo but its laggy and miserable and the people on it suck

I don't want to get into an argument over this, but in other MMOs and most RPGs:

- you have to have an enemy targeted to use attacks
- you don't get dodge rolls
- crowd control is either (A) piss-easy to use and gamebreaking or (B) nonexistent
- class diversity boils down to thief/mage/warrior with different colors of abilites
- there is comparatively little emphasis on movement during combat

GW2's PvP combat is fluid, fast-paced, and dynamic—emphatically not about just hitting cooldowns as they come up. Then again I only play engineer/mesmer and found the other classes so boring that I never did much with them. So maybe you're right in some cases? iunno

It's essentially a less bloated steam with fewer games. I just wish it had a big picture analogue.

luigi's going for cost

i see 16 pits, 21 little macs, 4 falcons, 4 luigis, 1 marth

oh yeah, that's another thing, you don't miss attacks based on RNG. You can miss if you have bad aim, you're out of range or blinded, or there's an obstacle in the way. Otherwise you hit the first thing in the path of your attack. This does allow friendlies to block for you/act as unwitting cover.

yep, TERA has the same thing going for it
different classes have different dodges too, archer leaps backwards for example. some other classes dive to the side or whatever so they all have their own advantages

the excalibur character creation is not that bad and generally is open if you try and create a character on a weekday morning, early afternoon, or late evening and the goon guild is actually full of fun relaxed people who make bad puns constantly (much like the rest of the game does) and help new players run stuff a lot, which is far better than the autists, kid fuckers and anime enthusiasts (or combination thereof) I've run into in every other goon game
