Well todays TOR update was very.. godly.
Take a peek
While I was sad about the whole space element of TOR, still am, the ground parts just look unreal. STO is going to have to really jump it up a gun to compete "in my mind"
really awsome and looking forward to this game
Comments
Then I heard these words: "Prejudice: Set to Maximum." :eek:
yeah kinda gave me chills, ahhh HK, always the badass
When I seen footage of this game awile back I was not even interested, especially when they revealed the space content, which later made me go sorry but ill stick to STO. After this installment...
I hope TOR has lifetime because.. Ill be there for headstart "if they have one"
It looks alright. Still not holding my breath for anything spectacular, though.
Me too, looking forward to TOR. Staying with STO too though. This game's gonna be too good to miss
ill still be there as soon as its out but im starting to lower my expectations by quite a lot.
Are there any STO players forming guilds for SWTOR yet?
The space combat hasn't really changed all that much from previous Knights of the old Republic games, except that it's on rails now
Thanks anyways.
They have been stuck in a "All this has happened before..." time loop for the last millennium...
I honestly think a sociologist could write a paper on cultural stagnation as represented in fiction - I mean, come on! Thousands of years of civilization and we're using the same blasters, same lightsabers, same costumes, same ships, same hyperdrive.
Only thing I can think of that has more expanse of time with no advancement in civilization is Tolkien (ever see how long those "ages" last?) - and at least he had the magical rings to excuse that...
...oh wait... the Force IS magic - silly me.
Unfortunately, this is the trend with Bioware's recent release DA2: reducing player freedom for narrow corridors.
Still, the story will compensate for that
And wrote timeless classics that he had the good graces not to mercilessly murder for the sake of more money. Even the recently found and published Sons of Huron was good. Unlike certain unnamed prequel trilogies. Though I liked the fights in the third one of those unnamed movies.
Story?
Well, no doubt it will be the same old, same old. Hero's journey, blah, blah...
However, there will be enough time wasted in running through all the possible dialog options to give the illusion of "content" for AT LEAST a good month.
...that is if you consider cut-scenes "content". :rolleyes:
Amen, brother Shinzon! :cool:
Plenty more story content than that, what about the return of the Sith Empire and the Sith Emperor. The origin of the Jedi on Tython, the fate of Revan. Plenty of story content
OK, they're not to everyones taste.
To me though they're the best part of all games when they're executed properly like in Mass Effect II, to go through a game without cutscenes, to me at least, spells instant boredom
DA2's story isn't as well done as DA:O and no amount of cutscenes make mediocre gameplay less mediocre. The story in DA2 is disjointed, forced, and ham-fisted.
I wanted to lend the devs at Bioware copies of Rashomon and Pulp Fiction if they want non-linear narrative done right.
I'm really suprised since I'm normally a Bioware fan-boy since their days back with Interplay.
And, if I'm not mistaken, that claim came hot on the heals of STO doing it's Bridge Officer system.
I just can't shake this feeling that TOR isn't going to be good as Bioware is shaping it up to be. It looks like an action RPG, or something like KOTOR, but they're wanting to make an MMO out of this?
To be fair, I think it was the other way around, but both did surface in a very close timeframe.
I'll definitely try out TOR. I love Star Wars, and have enjoyed many games in the universe - including KOTOR, which I absolutely loved. It looks like there will be an engaging story, and a very cinematic feel to it all. I'm just a little worried about the 'MMO' aspect to it, or potential lack thereof. It seems very single player oriented from what's been shown so far.
I suppose only time will tell, but nothing about TOR has blown me away at all, yet.
What? Like Diamond David Lee "bozie-bop" Roth?
...meh...
I'm rather sad at how much I'm over Star Wars. It used to be on par with how much I like Trek, but it's been in slow decline since TPM. At this point, the magic of Star Wars is gone for me, and if SW was a person, it'd be like an annoying little kid who keeps trying to do things to attract the attention of a "kewl" crowd who really don't have anything in common with him, nor a nich for him in their group.
:rolleyes:
Oh wait. I know why. Lucas Arts and Julio Torres ****ed me off.
Remember my review of Final Fantasy XIV? I don't expect it to be THAT bad, but that is about what I am expecting. I am expecting there to be an amazing cutscene, play WoW with lasers for a couple minutes, then get another cutscene where my character is doing all sorts of crazy awesome scripted stuff, then back to plodding around like the space wizard or tank I am.
