Doubt it, will be 15 bucks like every other MMO that isn't run by Sony. 30 Bucks will probably end up buying 2 months of game time like with WoW.

Bioware does not disappoint. Baldur's Gate series, Neverwinter Nights (1, not 2, which is made by Obsidian), KOTOR, Jade Empire, Mass Effect...
Been waiting for them to get into the MMO market for the longest time. Know they'll do it right. |

I don't talk about this much but I am following it and I geek out at every released snippet. I don't know how I can play this with these games being ever more time consuming.

I'm with you on that. I'm a very light Star Wars fan, so the sheer ability for these snippets to insight any want for me to play an MMO (which I normally avoid for money issues) is quite amazing to me.

I'm a little miffed about the fact that this means we're likely never going to see a proper KOTOR III. Still, it does look pretty damn awesome.

I've probably played through KOTOR 1 and 2 at least 10 times. I could easily say either one is my favorite game ever, most definitely favorite RPG. Needless to say I've been waiting for this since KOTOR II was released. Back then everyone thought we would be getting a new KOTOR for the next generation systems, then it is revealed it will be a MMORPG. Can't say I was skeptical at first, as I've never played a MMORPG, and never really had the desire too. But after watching the gameplay videos, and listening to the developers discussing what they plan on doing with this, I'm convinced this will be great.
Now I just got to get ahold of a Windows OS before this comes out. |

Star Wars the Old Republic
Finally have a released date of Dec. 20 2011
Been waiting for this game to hit the shelves for a long time, bout 2-3 years. It looks great and should be stiff competition for WoW. Anyone here gonna be checking this game out? http://swtor.com "And you may not like! But you will learn to love it! WHY??! Because I'm the best thing going today! WHOOOO!" -Ric Flair ![]() |

Fuck this game. Another easy-mode theme park of repetitiveness, with artificial conflict and cookie-cutter builds where you'll be the exact same as a million other people who chose your class.

The only new thing it brings is full voice-overs, which is a waste of time and money IMO. It's cool, but it's not going to revolutionize the genre.
The only replayability of this game lies in playing new classes through each class' story. You play a class from 1 to cap, and that's your story. Sure it's a relatively different game if you play another class, but MMOs are about creating a persistent character and evolving that character. They're turning it into a single-player experience, where they want you to play new characters all the time to 'experience' their game. Where you can hire mercenaries to help you through content instead of focusing on actual player interaction. I'm sure it will sell a shit ton of copies, because that's what they're going for. They're targeting a very casual audience who will probably eat this shit up. But 6 months to a year down the line, there's going to be nothing to keep people invested. I have no doubts that people will reach max level within -weeks- of the game's release. This is a cancer on this genre, in a time when the MMO genre is truly struggling -because- of all the expectations that WoW created, and other games failed to live up to for the past several years. It's becoming where developers are afraid to take actual chances and create living breathing worlds, because casual games are what makes the MOST money. Star Wars Galaxies wasn't perfect, but it was 10x the Star Wars game this will be. They at least attempted to create a universe and it felt like you were really a part of something cool. Ugh, just gonna stop here cause I could go on and on about the problems with the MMO genre as I have at least a half dozen times on this forum, but rest assured... this game will sell big, and then in a few years it will decline heavily. The only thing that will knock WoW off its throne is another Blizzard game, and that's really unfortunate. |

What you say about the game will not change my mind about it. Game is going to be Epic and can't wait to play it.

That's cool. You did post this thread though so I was giving you my opinion. You are likely the casual audience they are targeting with this game.

Not casual been playing MMORPG's for a long while and much rather play them then console games. Just the time, effort, and money invested to the creation of this game i can not believe that it will fizzle out and die within six months of the release. That is just foolish to believe. Lucas Arts and EA will not allow it to happen and BioWare being video game gods, this game as all the makings of having longevity.

Didn't say it would be dead in 6 months. I said the replayability won't last for more than 6mo to a year, and within a couple years, it will see HEAVY decline in subscriptions. People will hit max level on characters in no time, and they will start to run out of unique content. They're trying this whole story-based gameplay thing, but you can only have so much story and new content at a time. They're telling you how to play their game instead of giving the players the tools to play in a universe they made.
Also, there have been several games in recent years with massive budgets that failed in under a year. Tabula Rasa, All Points Bulletin. Some had large budgets and are struggling currently - Vanguard, Age of Conan. The latter of which only held on due to going free2play. Budget doesn't mean a single thing to me, and I put virtually no trust in EA. They're the king of bastardizing content. It's shocking the amount of quality companies they purchase in their prime and then run into the ground after milking them dry. And LucasArts... well, I'm sure they are getting a lot of money out of this, but I don't think they care as much as you think they do. They certainly didn't care about the response that their 'changes' to the old Star Wars MMO got. They wanted to compete with WoW instead of being successful on its own merits, and it ended up killing the game completely. |

Although working with RA Salvatore and Todd McFarlane gives me hope that it might be a very fleshed out and potentially 'dark' game.
