Laugh and/or cry at this Godawful Guild Wars 2 trailer
ArenaNet is currently being laughed at throughout the Internet for releasing one of the silliest live-action trailers ever conceived. Such things are usually bad, but you'd have to work damn hard to come up with something more melodramatic and overwrought than this. From what I gather, the video is trying to tell us that Guild Wars 2 specifically caters to people who cover themselves in yogurt, vandals, smug college students with nothing of value to prove, and Off-Brand Cameron Diaz. Quite a demographic. Watch. Behold. Feel a sensation underneath your skin, not unlike tiny needles trying to get out. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)LOL. It looked like a generic crappy teen commercial until she started swimming underwater...in a red dress...which makes no sense.... Worst trailer I've seen in a while, for sure. Whoever made it very clearly never made a trailer up until that point, nor did they know how a captivating one would typically look like. It doesn't convey shit and there's no sense of anything in it. At most, it strikes me as pretentious.
You'd think it hard to fuck up, having such an expansive wolrd to work with. Holy fuck that was actually awesome, really awesome. Sure a tad corny but still, its by far the best live action video game commercial I've ever seen. And whatever that crazy dragon was Zhaitan? It was fucking far more epic and bad assery than anything WoW has in it. Seriously how could you not get some enjoyment out of that? Of course none of those people even know what GW2 is though. Fucking right! 9:00 PM on 05.21.2013 Guild Wars 2 sheds a little off its priceDespite not playing as much Guild Wars 2 as I'd like to, that's okay -- it's not costing me anything.
