cannon went out the window long ago for the starwars universeThe_root_of_all_evil said:I said that two years and $30 million ago.
All the signs are already there. Jedi/Sith from start, huge trailers with no gameplay, roughshod use of canon.
Sorry Star Wars fans, this is gonna crash like the Death Star.

Need I remind folks of APB? 90 days to beat.
The Death Star didn't crash......The_root_of_all_evil said:Sorry Star Wars fans, this is gonna crash like the Death Star.
Except for the Maw Installation Prototype. That one was sucked into a black hole.WittyInfidel said:OT: All incarnations of the Death Star have blown up, not crashed.
Yeah I suppose but to be far the 1st one is still goin strong, not to mention they said they wanna make GW2 playable on pc's that are not top of the line.

I'm surprised he's even allowed to talk about it..Super Toast said:The guy is getting fired. I don't think he's the right person to talk to about it.
Right.Xzi said:It's not WoW. There is no auto-attack. That being said, there's only so much you can do with MMO combat due to potential latency issues. Luckily that's where Bioware's improved story-telling and impactful conversation wheel come in. Not to mention full voice-acting. Adds a whole other dimension to this MMO that no other has.Irridium said:If its gameplay is similar to WoW's, it will fail. Because people will try it, say "why am I doing this, I've already played this, I don't need to do it all again" and just leave.
Hopefully thats not the case, but since we haven't seen much gameplay save for special occasions. And even then the gameplay wasn't really described or touched on.
Most people say it played like WoW, but with lightsabers.
That is not good. At all.
Excuse me but, can anyone please enlighten me about those rumours? That's a lot more interesting and an angry person's venting.Things aren?t looking good for Star Wars: The Old Republic. From the tepid rumors leaking out from people in the limited closed beta tests
What the hell? What kind of BS is that?! I heard it more often but it makes zero sense. Way back in 2009 they already did a 4-part walkthrough through the actual game [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a8mlxCaRAI], including gameplay on various classes. That has only increased over the last year, just do a simple Youtube search.acosn said:There's an utter black out on actual game play. No trailers for the game play, nothing. Lots of text, but it point's towards something else. Especially when we're only getting CGI trailers.
Couldn't agree more... They seem to be doing WoW, with a Star Wars skin, and voice acting. We all know how damn well that worked for Star Wars: Galaxies, right?The_root_of_all_evil said:I said that two years and $30 million ago.

I think you mean ff XIIV, cuz im pretty sure ff 14 hasn't come out yet, nor is it a mmo. maybe you shouldn't use the FF acronym to describe whatever game ur talking about cuz i think most will interperet it as final fantasy, which isn't an mmo.Grilled Cheesus said:Bullshit. No matter how many donkeys it blows it can not possibly be worse than APB or FF XIV.
Not that I have any hope itll be good but it can't blow any harder than those two.
It would actually require a lot of time, effort and money all aimed at deliberately making it suck to be a bigger failure than those.
Dudes just pissed off that hes getting fired for doing a shit job.
On a personal note I could not possibly care less. As long as the 40k MMO is good that is all I care about.
Since XIIV isn't an actual roman numeral, I'm going to assume that you have a very poor understanding of the topic on hand. Final Fantasy 14 (or XIV) is an MMO that recently released worldwide. It has been universally panned as terrible.spartan231490 said:I think you mean ff XIIV, cuz im pretty sure ff 14 hasn't come out yet, nor is it a mmo. maybe you shouldn't use the FF acronym to describe whatever game ur talking about cuz i think most will interperet it as final fantasy, which isn't an mmo.Grilled Cheesus said:Bullshit.

You also bring up a good point but let us remember FF 14. I'm sure the people who enjoyed FF 11 went to play it thinking it would be awesome (as 14 can be thought of as a spiritual sequel since they're the only 2 MMO FF games), saw that it was a mess and went back to FF 11.AVATAR_RAGE said:Yeah I suppose but to be far the 1st one is still goin strong, not to mention they said they wanna make GW2 playable on pc's that are not top of the line.

Tbh my money is on Guild Wars but I suppose only time will tell.
To be honest, I thought galaxies was a relatively decent MMO (back before they completely changed it). I will admit those memories might be tainted with nostalgia, for it was the first MMO I ever really played, outside of free ones like runescape *shudder*00slash00 said:i was on digg last night and came across this article

i really want a star wars mmo (and dont mention galaxies, because i try to pretend that game never happened).
