Which Guild Wars is best?

Hi, I've read the sticky at the top, but I'm still wondering which GW to get, I prefer PvE games, but I'm wondering which has the best gameplay and which is overall the best game. If anyone could make any suggestions I'd be grateful .

Nightfall is probably the best PvE from a gameplay perspective. That said, playing Prophecies as your first campaign is generally a good idea, as the learning curve is much less steep then in the other two campaigns.

i'd say prophecies still is the best game.

it has a good learning curve, lasts quite long and has an ok storyline.

Nightfall gives you access to Heroes, sure, but if you're just starting out figuring out a skillbar and getting equipment for your own character will be hard enough. Having to do the same for an army of Heroes could be a bit of a turn off.


i'd say start with prophecies : it should be cheap now and it still is a kickass campaign. If you enjoy it you can always decide to go and get Nightfall or EoTN for heroes and extra content ...

I prefer nightfall over the other two. But if you like very long adventures, go with Prophecies

if you are only getting one, make it prophecies. it has about 3 times as much content as factions and the learning curve is quite gradual.

I would have to recommend prophecies, it is the largest of the three campaigns, it has a nice learning curve, and has arguably the best pace of the three.
