PjPablo Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 And btwe, blizzard has released, what 3 games? in what 15 years? Talk about a fail company. Now now..let's be fair here. Compare Activision Blizz's performance as a company compared to EA. There is a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) I predict SWTOR becomes a footnote in history once D3 and MoP hit the market. Doubtful. MOP is going to be the death of WoW as it is ALL the mistakes of Wrath and Cataclysm rolled into one expansion with none of the positives. D3 I could see dragging away some subscribers. I never got into dungeon crawlers like it, but I was surprised to find how many friends that play WoW or TOR that liked it. It will have more of an impact on world activity than actual subs though due to it not requiring a subscription.

Tiriensoul Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Now now..let's be fair here. Compare Activision Blizz's performance as a company compared to EA. There is a big difference. I hate them both equally. I did however like Diablo 1 & 2. But that's where it ends... Diablo I & 2 vs Mass Effect 1 & 2 + Dragon Age Origin + SWTOR. I did play WoW but if i should put it in there Blizzard's stats would only go down, atleast for me. For me BioWare is better, they atleast release games and try something new. Blizzard does not, if you don't count WoW. But that's not even something new either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManuNegra Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Or... They like this game and are upset about alot of bugs that bring it down? Logical fallacies help no one. stop it. Most stable MMO launch to date, just figured you'd wanna hear that since you seem to have such a big problem with logical fallacies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faxxon Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I love coming into threads that shows SWTOR's massive success. You will see people try so hard to spin it negatively, so funny to watch. If this was a Singleplayer game (O WAIT) I'd say yeah this was a success, unfortnately its an MMO which means the game will survive on its subs (the subs generate the profit), if the game has very little subs past its first quarter and eventually its first year - it will die an awful F2P death.

Tiriensoul Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 not a single new AAA MMO has managed to pump out more than 2 million copies in less than a month. Yeah but that doesn't matter. Apperently the more it sells and more people that join it the more dead it is? Since people keep screaming WoW is dead, they keep screaming SWTOR is dead too. I bet Farmville is dead aswell... I guess dead is slang for Awsome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
