The Old Republic Script Is the Size of 10 KOTORs, 40 Novels

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

That is nothing short of astounding. I'm going to have to give this game a whirl, just out of principle.

 

[Cortheya]

If this is as good as the hype, I'll be a happy man.

If the script is the size of 10 KoToRs, surely that implies that the game will contain an equal amount of gameplay? This is gonna be good.

Any where near and I'll be happy....Story can make or break a game, providing its gameplay can stand up on its own. Characterization can make a story. Voice acting dramatically helps characterization.

Bioware can go fuck themselves. I'm not shelling out 50 bucks a month so those greedy bastards can profit from fucking over an awesome storyline in favour of an MMO cash cow.

And no amount of voiceovers or text is ever going to win me over. Fuck you Bioware, Fuck you.

Come on its not even close to 50 bucks don't rant and flame and have a fit over something you don't know all the details. The going rate for monthly pay in MMOs is 15 bucks but they haven't revealed the monthly price to the best of my knowledge. Besides they didn't do anything to mess up the story they merely expanded on it. They're not "Greedy bastards"

Wow..even I think that's a bit over-the-edge for an MMO.

Somehow they are going to screw this up, I can feel it =/

 

[Samurai Goomba]

Quantity does not have its own quality. As long as Bioware realize that their dialogue needs to be good rather than plentiful, they should be fine.

But the fact that they have a huge script is nothing to be proud of. Minimalism can be wondrous, see Shadow of the Colossus.

 

[Mister Hobbs]

Yeah, such a shame it's a MMORPG and will therefore SUCK!

 

[BoxCutter]

Bioware never ceases to amaze me. Cannot wait for this game.

 

[Tri Force95]

Sounds pretty cool

 

[Grand_Poohbah]

I'll never be able to stop playing this.

 

[Deleric]

Hm.. Maybe I should just play KOTOR 10 times.

 

[ffxfriek]

Perhaps a better question: how do you compress all that data enough to make the install less than 10 gigs without losing all the audio quality?

Ooh, I have an idea: they should forgo disc media altogether and just release it on a read-only USB thumbdrive which has enough space for it. Should be a quick install... heheh.

THAT my good sir is NOT a bad idea

 

[Valiance]

God, DAYM, this looks amazing.

I've played other MMOs and trust me, nothing is more hilariously immersion-breaking than reading some fucking text like "I'VE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE I'M GOING OUT OF MY MIND THE SCOURGE ARE GONNA KILL ME" and then left clicking them twice and their voice says "How are you? What can I do for you?"

 

[The Rockerfly]

That will make one might fine wall of text

 

[IceStar100]

Man the pc I'll need to run this will make Hal look like a calculator.

 

[Soxafloppin]

That must have cost and arm and a leg, still i hate hearing repeated dialogue, so awesome!

 

[Standby]

Am really hoping this game doesn't turn out like Galaxies.

 

[Chicago Ted]

I'm glad I got my 1 Terabyte hard drive. Now I just hope my computer can run it.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Somehow they are going to screw this up, I can feel it.

... In the force?

*Bad pun*
