Guild Wars 2 System Requirements (Can You Run It?)

PLEASE SHARE!   🙂

Guild Wars 2 officially launched to the general public on August 28th, 2012. If you pre-purchased GW2 (like me) you had 3 days early access on August 25th (actually 9 PM PST on Aug. 24th). I have been playing Guild Wars 2 since they had open beta tests for customers that pre-purchased the game. This is one of the best MMOs I have ever played to date. The graphics are great, character skill customization is awesome (so many options) and 3 faction PvP is unbelievable.

[adblockingdetector id=”2″]Aside from the gaming aspects that NCsoft and ArenaNet have full control over, one thing they have little control are the people that play the game. For some reason even the people playing GW2 are really cool and helpful. Yes, there are a few trolls but that is expected. On my server the vast majority of people are very helpful and play as a group. If I have one negative thing to say about Guild Wars 2 is that the character storyline is just decent, nothing to rave over. I have this opinion because I am comparing the storyline adventures to Star Wars: The Old Republic. SW:TOR has a phenomenal storyline adventure. I could select various options on how I wanted to take the storyline. The cut scenes were always great and the writing was above par (my main toon was a Sith Juggernaut). SWTOR is a really good game if you love PvE and don’t care much for PvP. But my main passion in MMOs is PvP gaming. Guild Wars 2 exceeded my expectations for PvP gameplay.

If you are into MMOs and love to PvP I highly recommend Guild Wars 2. I know a lot of you are wondering, “Can I play it?”, “Will it run on my PC?”, “Is my laptop fast enough to run Guild Wars 2?” No worries. Below I posted the Guild Wars 2 minimum system requirements.
