Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Original GW2 is now free
There is no monthly recurring fee, and the original GW2 is now completely free. The expansion pack, Heart of Thorns is available for purchase though.
Pro Deep story, customized per character
Depending on your race, your profession, and a few other choices you make when you create a character, you will have a unique story arc that unfolds with you as you level up.
Pro Graphics are outstanding
Every moment of play is very good. Vista points can be stunningly beautiful.
Pro Crafting
There is crafting in the game so players can build bases to use as a home and a place to store items away from the rest of the world.
Pro Vehicles
H1Z1 has vehicles in game that can be fixed up to working condition to then use to traverse the landscape. Making travel a whole lot easier, but also making your whereabouts known and an easier target.
Pro Unpredictable
H1Z1 adds in an element of unpredictability with every encounter of another human player. Whether cooperation or fighting will ensue depends on the individuals playing and could go either way.
Pro Plenty of exploration
Exploration is a key part to H1Z1 as items need to be found to survive (though some gear can be purchased with real money as item drops). Depending on how lucky the individual is in finding the proper guns ammo and food/water makes for how long they are likely to survive.
Cons
Con Filled with hackers
Due to Sony's inability to properly combat hackers the game has become pointless to play. Hackers can just teleport into anyones base stealing all of their hard earned or purchased items, which being that this is a survival game makes survival pretty much impossible for any length of time.
Con Pay to win
Sadly despite claims from the developers that it would not happen, there are microtransactions for gear, guns and ammo in game. Meaning groups that pool their money and numbers to claim the falling crates will have an unfair advantage over those that do not pay to win.
