Deep Thought Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Might be fatigue setting in... but I am just sensing a TON of sarcasm here... Are people from OCR going to play or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I'm going to try it but I am not expecting it to be any good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graycascade Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I'll play with my old guildies, but my expectations are currently unassigned. Also, since I insist on being a unique little snowflake, I'll probably join the bleck mentality for character choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zykO Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 strange. actually, i think it'll be pretty good. i've found that the best way to approach this is to ignore the trainwreck that was galaxies and treat this as an entirely different beast altogether (especially since it is and bioware has, for the most part, put out excellent games). when i do that, i don't see that much risk of the game falling flat on its face. it can't be much (if at all) worse than WoW and that one is sufficient enough as it is (i'm just tired of it and how nerfed it has become) and maybe it's just me but i'm a big enough star wars geek to enjoy it regardless for a little while before i start hating the monthly subscription.

Deep Thought Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Personally, I'm a star wars nut so it's just a matter of time, but I'm more disappointed with the fact that this is the last Lucasarts project, seeing as it has been shut down. I would think that they would want to make this their final hurrah, and seeing the quality of Bioware's continued work, this might be a pretty damned playable game. Better than WoW when it comes to story by far. (Biased D&D opinion of WoW not withstanding) I'm pretty sure that they won't screw the pooch on this one.

prophetik music Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 i'm looking at the trooper and bounty hunter classes, depending on if i go jedi or sith. i'm always a fan of being the big damage-dealer heavy tank type, and that appears to be that for each.

Hyperion5182 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 This game just got better...MMORPG.com has a nice review of the open beta. Republic side. oh yeah incase you were wondering... THE TROOPER IS BADASS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral_C Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I do hope the game is good. But every time I see videos of it, I can't help but think its just WoW in Space. I think I'll have to see someone play it in person before I jump in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll have to see someone play it in person before I jump in. I admit there are concerns about that but i think that's going to be unavoidable at this point. MMO's right now are 'suffering' from Diehard syndrome. Movie Reference. Diehard kicked off an entire age of action movies. The 'problem' if one can call it that is the mechanics work TOO well in a GUI perspective. In this case: The story+lore far outstrip WOW and the detail they're taking to each world is significantly higher than one might expect. If they're not kidding on the dragon age map size reference this will be one of the largest universes at launch i've EVER seen. This is going to rival EVE online in general size. Dont focus on the core gameplay at this point. Focus on Story and Class balance: Which appears to be dead on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral_C Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I think that hits the nail on the head. All they really show you in the preview and trailers are things we've already seen. To experience the story and the "good" parts of the game, I have to buy it first. I don't like to start things and not finish them. If it turns out to be "WoW in space", I will quit, and I'll be unhappy at myself for investing whatever amount of time I did, because I know I'm not going to "finish" it. Its a gamble, and I prefer not to gamble. If one of my friends gets in and raves about it, I'm sure I'll hop on board eventually. I just can't see myself taking the plunge right now from what I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 i beta'd the game. it's wow with guns. it's not good. boring missions, poor combat, bad bad bad. don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Native Jovian Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 it's wow with guns. I find it hilarious when people say things like this. Apparently the fact that it's similar to something that millions of people play and enjoy is a bad thing. Reminds me of "Fallout 3 is just Oblivion with guns!".

Binjovi Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 guild wars 2 is looking way better, both from released material and from anecdotes from testers i know. I totally agree here. I've been keeping an eye on GW2 for a while now and it's shaping up to be a pretty awesome game so far. It's kind of a shame though. I'm a big Star Wars fan but SWTOR isn't doing anything for me. I mean the story bits sound great, but anytime I take a look at the gameplay it just looks like stuff I've long grown tired of. I want to be interested—I should be interested—but I get nothing from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamphibious Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 guild wars 2 is looking way better, both from released material and from anecdotes from testers i know. Yup. Maybe its partly because I'm more into fantasy than sci-fi, but Guild Wars 2 is looking to be a pretty great game to me with a lot of cool features. I'll admit, I thought the story segments in SWTOR were pretty good when I played the beta. Pretty much straight from a BioWare single player RPG, and as such the writing and voice acting were really good. The gameplay did feel pretty safe though, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I don't think it will wow anyone who is looking for something new and exciting in that department. The addition of a cover system for the Infiltrator and Smuggler classes was an interesting idea, but I found that it wasn't all that effective. Also, pretty standard MMO fare as far as actual quest objectives go, but having choices when doing quests and turning them in is a nice touch. I'm sure the game LOOKS beautiful on a good PC, no question about that. And I bet the lore and voice acting will be great for Star Wars fans who really want to immerse themselves in the setting. But I dunno, not quite sold on it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 it doesn't look good on a good pc, it looks pretty old actually. and i felt the writing was cheese to the core, not even that good of star wars stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 If you need a Beta Test key, they're giving 75,000 of them away on Massively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemophiliac Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 If you need a Beta Test key, they're giving 75,000 of them away on Massively. pretty fake as in, there are no keys for beta to play. invite only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 pretty fake as in, there are no keys for beta to play. invite only. You're wrong. Incidentally, that news article on the official site also lists the other sites that are offering Beta Test keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemophiliac Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 actually i was right as of yesterday's knowledge. i have beta tested already and there were no keys until today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerlord Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 well i grabbed one entered a key and have gotten no response on my account or anything else. Am i missing something? My understanding is that, once you have a key, they will invite you to one of the Beta Weekends rather than immediately. Also, I preordered the game today, went to enter my preorder code... and was told it was already used. So now I get to file a bug report. (Note: preorder code is a different code than the beta weekend code, I'm just venting.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
