Does The GW Series Have The Best Animations EVAR!?

Or is it just me? I know some people are annoyed by overly animated characters but i love them! They bounce around, sway from side to side, every emote looks fantastic. I used to praise WoW back in the day for having killer animations lol, We've come a long way. I mean i was just sitting here in the main title screen watching the back of the Jersey on the All Star flap around as he punted an imp. Not to mention the textures.

I couldn't figure out why the first GW and the sequels reminded me of my childhood so much and then it clicked... it's kind of like a 90's cartoon or comic book, only hyper animated and gorgeous. Just wanted to say thanks Popcap! Keep the eye candy rollin!

Posted this first on Reddit, but wanted the devs to see it here. GW Still has the best aesthetics in modern gaming imo.

    I ran an Op last night and it was definitely better than it was, but it still needs work. I don't mind 5 waves as 10 got a bit tedious, and this patch made it less hide and seek than it was at first, so it doesn't take as long to complete and less just running around which made the Ops drag. Also, bring back evacuations! I loved the scrambling to escape at the end of each Op.


     I agree, i miss the evac moment! Ops are better than before,but i feel still need some tweaks, maybe another boss round or something idk.

    I played Unreal 1 and Unreal Tournament 3 and think everything about UT3 was gold.


    The first Unreal Tournament was and still is my favorite. I used to love and change the names of all the bots and adjust the difficulty settings so they were more difficult.

  • Popcap games are elevated by their unique and amazing talent for art direction and character design. You can even see it in Peggle 2 (which I love), the same flawless presentation and attention to detail. Luna from Peggle 2 is the greatest character design I have ever seen, and this is not for Overwatch or Zelda or something, but a simple bubble shooter! And still they do it because they are so passionate about it.

    The graphics being way too cartoonish, and the ridiculous running animations severely dumbed down the game.  They went for a 4th grade level and pretty much hit it.  So no, this game in particular doesn't have the best animations.  GW and GW2 were much much better games.
