Here is one of my own, I wanted to do a Planetside one but I can't think of anything funny. I think it is one of the only games whos box/promo material actually is the best picture to describe the game:

I notice that the bottom one shows the actual product while the top one is just a picture of what you're supposed to be imagining while you look at the 2d maps and stats.

Really is too bad, this was a great set up for a bash at GW2. The idea that when everyone opens up GW2, their expectations not having a chance of matching the actual release, would result in this. But instead, you took the low road with another kick at an already nearly dead horse.

I wonder how many swtor fans realise plenty of gw2 fans have already played the game at various demo's
Even if the rest of the game is simply 'average', and for some reason all of the epic content is located at two random mid level areas, the combat alone makes it the best MMO release in years. Simple fact. It's been improved since i've played it, but the combat alone at eurogamer blew ToR away completely and utterly. We're not talking a little better, we're talking totally revamped.
So, yeah, as long as people aren't expecting it to cure cancer and bring world peace, they'll be fine.
It's not like they're hyping ToR as something other than a WoW clone or anything equally as silly.

Think you missed his point though.

I prefer to think of it as having dodged it.
