Yes, I have it pre-ordered and can't wait. I've been feeling pretty burnt out on WoW recently, but I still enjoy the core gameplay. From what I've seen, TOR's gameplay is pretty much the same as WoW's, but the rest of the game looks much more interesting. Plus, my WoW subscription expires a few days after TOR releases, so I won't be paying two subscriptions. I think the only thing I'll miss about WoW is my guild, and, unfortunately, that's not enough to keep me playing.
MMO's aren't my cup of tea
Star Wars isn't my cup of tea
So from where I'm sitting, this game is completly uninteresting. I also can't believe people somehow want móre star wars, but that might be just me.

No, I believe the age of pay for play MMO's is over.
plus I don't want EA's Orwellian delivery system on my computer.
Also Star Wars is dead. The Old Republic is fans are just humping to corpse.

Nope. MMO gmaeplay just bores me now and the constant monthly fees make it too much on an investment when there's plenty of other GREAT games that I only have to pay for once.
Yes, Even got the collectors edition day one. I have never been more excited for a game since Metal gear solid 3.
Ill probably get it during the summer when I know that it wasn't a flop, and I have free time during weeknights.
No, I will not. Being a filthy and low Mac user who does not yet know how to partition off an area of his computer and load some version of Windows OS means that I will be unable to play TOR. Which is actually kind of a bummer, because I got invited to a weekend beta and was going to use that to see if I wanted to try it for a month. Guess not.
If your expecting something radically different from GW2... oh dear. Certainly the Eurogamer Expo demo that was playable wasn't that special or different.The Human Torch said:
To the people bitching about SW:tOR needing Origin... only if you buy it from Origin...
Oh? It's an MMO? I refuse to pay to play a game, after I already paid full price to buy it, pay more internet, and barely have any time to play.
Anyway, before I even knew that I wasn't going to buy it because it is a BioWare game, and after Dragon Age and trying to play Mass Effect, their games are way too bland and boring to even try and get into.

KotOR did not end on a cliffhanger, or at least, not an absurdly blatant one. KotOR 2 did introduce the idea of something happening in the background, but that's it. You analogy is also bull, as Old Republic's story starts out LONG after either of the two games, which followed each other by only a couple, if I recall. The real outrage in that case would be an MMO set after every major Half-Life character is DEAD. Everyone you knew from those games, with the possible exception of HK-47 are DEAD, their stories have long since ENDED.endtherapture said:
Neither of the KotOR games necessarily needed a sequel. They had closure, but not in a way that warranted a sequel no matter what. Wanna revisit the ending of the games?
KotOR 1: Star Forge destroyed/kept, heroes celebrated/I'll be evil hurr-durr. End.
KotOR 2: You either become the new Dark Lord, or head out to look for Revan. This isn't necessarily a story that needs to be elaborated upon any further. Millions of stories ends up on such a note. You have closure for your companions, which makes the whole game a sense of curtains dropping as well.
Now technically, you COULD have a KotOR 3, since the world and events can still be fleshed out a lot, but in this regard, I don't mind the idea of turning it into an MMO. The story of the two games is OVER, or rather, ends with the very intro of TOR. I guess these are the "true Sith" Revan went to fight and they arrive, after a huge time gap.
No one's forcing you to play this and if you fear that you will not get the whole story, well, there's a crapload of supplemental material left for you to dive through. Comics, novels, whatever you wish and if you want to see the closure to the actual story of the two games, look up the new book that will finally reveal the end of Revan. That's it. The two games are centered around the actions and the consequences of Revan and as such their story arcs end once he's dead.
It's no more of an outrage that there's no movie of the Thrawn books, actually.
Well sir, you are one of the few people I've encountered who believe it isn't radically different in its design.Hoplon said:
PS: Would you mind elaborating on your impressions (as I am quite interested in those) of the game through PMs, so that we do not de-rail the thread?
No cause I can't really get into MMOs I find it so hard to do and I don't feel like paying a monthly subscription.
