generic

i cancelled and will play tera beta and await guild wars 2 as well. Mass Effect 3 will be fun too. TOR was not the kind of game I was looking for (you know, a game with innovation). Maybe im just too picky.

what TOR should have looked like: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4043/4311498380_e3acfd2065.jpg What TOR does look like: http://wp.appadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/masseffect_screen7.png

maybe take out a bit of the detail or decrease graphical settings options for low end computers but hell, bioware already has this engine and it could EASILY Be modded for a star wars MMO...I feel like bioware missed a great opportunity here. I just don't think the engine and graphics used in SWTOR will stand the test of time an MMO needs to mature. What do you guys think?

nah...it really doesn't.

the 20th is when my account turns off...chances of me logging in before that time: 1 in 1,000,000.

why are you laughing? The questing might not be innovative but the combat is very fun...i played in the beta over the weekend. unreal engine is amazing, graphics are solid, gameplay is polished and ridiculously fun. innovation in pvp, can put hits on other players and declare war against other guilds. there is also some sort of a politics system that i did not get a chance to try out. All in all, pretty easy to justify a purchase.

sorry, bioware copied WoW and its all BoP.

yep, bioware needs to listen to you "adults" instead of those of us who know when a developer cuts too many corners, and ruins a franchise by being lazy from the terrible engine, to the awful generic gameplay. TERA and GW2 can't come soon enough.

TOR is regressive to the genre in terms of the gameplay, and the VO gets old fast.

preorder tera and play in their beta test its f'ing awesome.

2/10. money that went to VO should have went to gameplay innovation.

i feel ya there...shortest mmo ive ever played.

HOLY MOLY that sounds epic...i miss the early 2000s so much...

just taking your thinking to its logical conclusion for you.

youre right. MMOs should have just warriors.

ffxi and pre-planes EQ to name two that had 6 person parties with a wide range of roles in a group than just tank healer dps.

instead of tank/healer/dps and 4 people per group it was... tank, offtank, damage, hybrid/mezzer, heals, buffer/offheal in 6 person parties. was good times. a lot more fun. a lot more options.

because the game is not good?

be like most of us and quit. the game is over at that point. you beat it. grats.

boring

innovation kept people playing WoW during its vanilla and BC days. do you think it was the graphics? give me a break. innovation is possible. new standards beyond the WoW system is possible. This industry just needs development teams that are ready to get some courage and take a risk for the betterment of the players, the industry, and the genre. Star Wars, being a great IP had a lot of potential in this department, to set a new benchmark for MMOs. It did not. I hope the next star wars mmo takes some risks.

so restricting mobility is now innovation? No wonder this industry is so damn sterile.

i dont assume it will, i assume it should have. that is why as a star wars fan and as a gamer I am really sad at how this game turned out. I never played SWG but I gave into the hype and under its milions worth of VO, the game is just WoW in space...bioware licensed a terrible engine, with terrible bugs, and made a piss poor wow clone in the gameplay department. I stare at my UI the whole time to maximize my output. A simple refreshing ideas would have really come in handy...what kind of ideas? how the hell sh ould I know. I do know that games like tera, gw2, and Secret world, are attempting gameplay innovations which is good for the industry. this game, is not.

name ONE THING about the combat that has not been in other games that actually enhances the gameplay. Cover, for example does not count because it restricts gameplay.
