I wish someone loved me as much as Austin loves GW2.

[Speno]

This review was Austin's reward for having to review Concord.

[pahbyah]

When you have to eat your Concord vegetables to finally get your Guild Wars 2 dessert

[bharadwajvs]

i don't even play guild wars but I'm here for our man Austin

[MarcoMeatball]

Austin gave me a push to gw2 and im 150 hours deep. I love it. Thanks Austin!

[saito]

Austin gonna do this every GW2 expansion isn't he

[SloMoMonday]

Someone needs to just make Austin an official GW2 ambassador. Am actually going to give it a shot.

[cybersosis]

What i love about Guild Wars 2 is the consistency of art style. the oil painting vibes and smooth animations

[Whats_Up_Dot]

I came back to GW2 during my D2 hiatus, and it's just got me wondering why I even stopped playing in the first place! it's such a well made game, the combat is so fluid and addicting. seriously, this is such a good game and more people need to play this game

[shybyebye]

Austin hanging around in Guild Wars 2 twitch streams and engaging with the Guild Wars 2 community during the expansions launch showed me this guy is the real deal. Love that a big channel like this covers this beloved game for many.

No way austin finished his Guild wars review before shill up finished his TFS review. The true gamer showing the dirty causal how things are done

[Guarrow]

GW2 did what probably no other MMO did before : keep their past content relevant.
It's just crazy the amount of people there is in maps you think would be deserted because there's just new stuff to do. You're actually rarely alone. So for me who's 2 expansions late because I've taken back the game just a few weeks ago (the last time I played it kinda seriously was in 2019), I still have so much stuff to do and I haven't felt the need to buy Secrets of the Obscure yet (I think I'll just do expansions in order)
So even if you really want to try GW2 for free, without any expansion, I still think this would be worth the time. Unlike other MMOs, you will still have a real nice experience because it's not completely deserted by veterans, and that might make you want for more

Austin is a fan of Guild Wars 2? He’s been hiding that well…….

[tcg]

No other mmos do environments like gw2. Maybe wow does also but I LOVE the painterly dreamy look in gw2 so much.

[metroidk]

As someone who has just started playing GW2 in the last month or so (and gotten my first character to 80) I've fallen in love with the combat and exploration. The game reminds me a bit of the exploration aspects of Wildstar, and has given me a whole new perspective on ways to play and level in an MMO rather than just chain chugging quests. I plan to do Secrets before Janthir, but I'm glad to see this has been so well recieved and am looking forward to it.

Excellent review Austin, thank you!

[KROOF]

Seeing detailed reviews for this expansion is really great to see. For how quickly GW2 needs to turn over yearly expansions, the quality for this one has been palpably high. 🎉

[niclastname]

I started it because of Austin's recommendations about a year ago, and man I'm glad I did. It's definitely way better than any of the many other MMO's I've played over the decades. It's not perfect, obviously, because nothing ever is. However, no other MMO has ever been so enjoyable to me. The combat is great. I love the world and lore. The mounts deserve the constant praise they get, surprisingly. The art style is easily my favorite of any MMO, and it's not anime which is a huge plus lol. I haven't got into this expansion yet, but I have it bought and ready when I get there. I'm hyped, because this looks awesome!

[alisardius]

It is nice that at least someome talks about guild wars 2. I dont understand why all big youtubers skip it

[carbonfibercarpet]

I can only imagine how Skill Up felt having to trim down Austin’s 3+ hour long review to 20 mins

[luca]

I think it is really important to point out that this is only the first of 4 quarterly updates for this expansion. They will still release 3 story updates, a raid, a fractal, at least one more new zone, and 2 legendary equipment pieces (weapon & backpack). All that is included with the purchase of the expansion.
