Thanks for making my day, scrub.

Diminish integrity? What the hell? I was making a point that you likely haven't played the games. When I use to be unable to play the games I always said games like D2 and such were the best. But the fact of the matter was they were the cheapest =P. And yeah, I do live in a 4,100 sq foot house with a 2002 750 iL BMW outside. I'm actually sort of frightened by the fact that you said that. But my fright aside (nice shiny weapons can make you unafraid fast heh), if you think that means anything, it doesn't. Happiness comes with sacrifice. I'm not going to explain my personal life to you. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with that. Scrub? Everyone in this world is insignificant my friend, regardless of what others think of them. In the end we will all end up dead, and the thoughts and hopes we had will not matter. We will simply be dead. Money, power, intelligence won't matter.
Yeah, I do think Guild wars is > then WoW.
This thread has obviously gone out of hand. I thought we were talking about graphics. Now I will give my opinion on gameplay.
The fact of the matter is these new games have better gameplay. They are superior in every fashion. Some of you will argue they aren't as fun; that is simply because we all played those old games
first. We were exposed to them first, and they were the first ones to make a true impression. If we were to reverse time, and make it so you were young now and the technology went backwords, you would say when SNES came out "what the hell is this crap". I just beat half life 2, and that game was better then the first one. Obviously, as time goes on we progress. Those old games were good, and told nice stories. But these new games are good, tell nice stories, and have sweet graphics to go along with it. You now don't only need to appreciate the complexity and twists of a story; you can appreciate the lifelike graphics and sound, which display far more emotion then words do. You just couldn't tell a story in a game like you can now. And to me, that is what makes a game great...how well they tell the story. If you claim those old games told better stories, in some cases I could not argue. But
how they told those better stories is what is significant. To show what the characters are feeling through the facial features and body movements. That tells a story.
Anyway, my point is I was exposed to those games first as well. And as much as my mind is telling me I loved playing those old castlevania games (I still do, the gameboy ones), and how much I loved playing those mario games...I realize if I was back in time presented with the option to play Mario 64 of Mario 3, I would choose Mario 64.
And zerohour, you misunderstand what I mean by insignificance. It is a human word, it is something created in our minds. "Wow, look at that guy, he is so rich and powerful, he is really important". Is he rich and powerful when he is dead? Is he
actually better then us? If there is an afterlife or not, does that money or power do
anything for him? Significance only exists in our puny existence. It is something many insignificant people generate in there mines about other insignificant people.

. WoW is a masterpiece as far as visuals go, and you one or two people who don't agree likely couldn't afford to play the game 
. The hundreds of thousands of players of enjoy the game agree with this statement, and that is far more solid then you're individual opinion.
