GW2 or SWTOR which one will you definitely BUY?

There's a poll about whether people are more hyped for GW2 or SWTOR, but I got curious as to which of these games people are actually planning to buy.  Let's see where people are willing to put their money.  The poll is simple, 4 options:  GW2, SWTOR, both, or neither.

For the purposes of this poll:

If you are definitely planning to buy the game, but may change your mind if negative and unexpected information comes up before or at release, then that still counts as planning to buy.

If you are currently "on the fence," then that counts as not planning to buy.

Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob?

    Already put money down on SWTOR,  most likely won't preorder GW2 unless they have some really great preorder options,  but still will buy,  so,   I chose both.

    There was already a thread for this somewhere, but as said before I'll buy both. TOR is on pre-order and GW2 will be bought whenever it releases.

    trying to avoid SW ToR, but seems I might get bullied into buying it - voted GW2, but might end up buying both...

    Pre-ordered SWTOR and will be buying GW2 on release. Hopefully a collector's edition.

    For me, GW2 is the only choice, I watched sw:tor trailers and I must say I'm dissapointed, the game looks very average and I would not play it even if the game was f2p.

    I'm 100% definitely buying GW2.

    SWTOR is dependent upon whether or not I have friends playing

    I will buy GW 2 for sure - B2P is something I don't think I can go wrong with.

    I was planning to buy SWOTOR, even applied to a guild already, but after seeing the whole pre-order and pricing circus I re-realized it is an EA's game and I should not expect a miracle. Most probably it will be oversimplified to cater the biggest (dumbest or the youngest - take your pick) player base and their CC.So I decided to wait for the guild mates impressions before buying it.

    GW2 for sure....i will wait and see about SWTOR

    Playing: PO, EVE
    Waiting for: WoD
    Favourite MMOs: VG, EVE, FE and DDO

    Both. No reason you can't play both at the same time due to GW2's B2P flexibility.

  • PalanorPalanor Member UncommonPosts: 46

    GW2, without hesitation. SWTOR is just looking like another WoW clone to me, so going to pass on that.

    You expect GW2 to not have something along the same lines....? 

    Anyways I am getting both. If I had to choose one though it would be SWTOR. GW 2 will only be fun for a month or two for me since the end game is not progression based. I might pickup the expansions when they come out though, no clue at this point.

    Apples and Oranges.

     

    Dont see how there can be a comparison for the two.

  • GMan3GMan3 Member CommonPosts: 2,127

        Already bought SWTOR.  No intention of buying GW2.

    I have to agree with this. The games aren't really targetting the same type of player and have different pricing methods. Even after the initial excitement for both games calms down, you could never pick a clear "winner".

    Both.

    $60 is becoming the norm. Get use to it.

    Yeah, it may be but I do not demand the same quality from B2P game as I expect from subscription-based one.
