Cool. Is it still going to have the shitty prequel type environmental design?
Yeah more like it will last a year tops.
nah
I give it a month, good luck Bioware!
[quote]Never mind that in 14 years I can’t imagine we’ll be playing games in any way that seems meaningful now. 14 years ago was 1997 – we barely had genuine 3D. On computers made of straw. By 2025 we’ll be playing games on the microprocessors in our brains, as we swoop home from spacework on our light-gliders. Should that include the same MMOs we’re playing now I’ll be extremely impressed.[/quote]
heh
This is the main problem with this game..they're making it so big and they think it is flawless and perfect.
They're fucking stupid to think it will be going during 2025. If it does go on for that long (which is doubtful at most) the player base will be long gone.
WoW won't be going on till 2025 I can tell you that, so I doubt this is.
At the very least i'll probably get a good year or so out of it, 40k MMOs out next year so and there's soo many games to play.

If all of the new MMO's suck and continue to suck I have no doubt that WoW will last this long.
This will be the new APB.

If WoW keeps on making more money than it's worth by a large margin then it will last as long as possible.

Blizzard is most likely the only company that can make a "WoW-killer"
They'll come out with a new MMO or WoW2 before 2025.

Yeah there are rumors about something called Titan, but nobody knows anything other than that.
I'll be surprised it it lasts 2 years.
Star Wars Galaxies lasted what...10 years or something right?
Considering people still hung out POST CU, it's an impressive foothold toward their goal stated above.
That being said, GOOD FUCKING LUCK.
Don't people still play ultima or everquest? I think it's kinda reasonable but it's a stretch.
What's with all the hate for this game? Is it just these forums or something?

The only reason they did it was because it's fuckin Star Wars. SWG was pretty fantastic before the CU and especially before the NGE and you could barely tell it was Star Wars at first glance. Only the planet names, mounts (That weren't even there at launch) and maybe, the one Jedi a month you would see would remind you Oh hey, it's Star Wars. It's still going now because it's the only MMO that is Star Wars and there's a huge market for Star Wars... Those games are just fun
Galaxies sucks now, its playerbase is next to none, and TOR is going to replace it since SWG is being shut down. TOR will be the only Star Wars MMO, and it'll be within the same timeline-ish as one of the most popular RPG games ever released, and by the same people. It was Rated 9.2 on IGN back when IGN still had some credibility
All the people talking shit about the game aren't MMO players so their bitching is irrelevant. The game is great, it is going to last a decade and maybe even longer just like Ultima Online.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;31331646]I've played WoW since it's release and I think SWTOR is going to be shit.
It really is just WoW with voice acting and no auto attack.[/QUOTE]
Uhm, no it isn't.

Okay congratufuckinlations what makes you a professional MMO critic? "I've played WoW since it's release" Oh.
Until you've played the game, fuck off with that shit will you?
[QUOTE=Atlascore;31331826]Watch any of the gameplay videos, there's even leaked footage of gameplay from the alpha, it plays exactly like any other MMO.[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty sure it's an okay thing if an MMO plays like an MMO.
[QUOTE=Sie-Sveinhund;31331982]I'm pretty sure it's an okay thing if an MMO plays like an MMO.[/QUOTE]
Don't get me wrong I would love for it to have a "Ultima sandbox" feel just like any other SWG player but it wouldn't fit the storytelling they are trying to achieve. It's a great game nevertheless.

[QUOTE=Atlascore;31332013]Are you fucking serious? First you complain that people hating on the game don't play MMOs, and that apparently their opinions are worthless because of that, and NOW when someone that has played MMOs for nearly a decade comes in and says they think swtor looks like shit you basically come out and say "you have to be a professional critic to criticize a video game"
It's painfully obvious your a fanboy it makes my brain bleed.[/QUOTE]
Not a fanboy but a WoW player for 7 years is base your opinions on MMOs off of.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;31332055]It's not how the MMO market works though, every single clone of WoW dies a miserable death, you have to innovate or beat Blizzard at their own game so well it makes WoW look like a NES game.[/QUOTE]
I was mostly hoping that would generate a few funnies to add to my e-penis girth.
I'm sure this game will get plenty of purchases just from starved KotOR fans who want to find out what happened to Darth Revan alone. SWG players will probably flock to it and keep the game running for a few years, after which it will slowly die out as Lucasarts works on their next gimmicky third person.

Where are you getting this info from? Can you give us examples of these failed games?
Can anyone fill me in on what these people are commenting on about the "downward spiral" bioware has been taking? I don't understand, what did bioware do?
World of Warcraft copied Everquest, and dumbed it down for the masses. Get it right.
