Gonewild Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I wouldn't. In the end the thing that I enjoy most about SWTOR, is the SW. Without ths Star Wars story line this game would be a weak WoW clone. I'm interested to hear your thoughts and opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreossk Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) No way. It's the only reason I stay and hope it will get decent. Edited February 3, 2012 by Dreossk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake_Hound Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I would have played this game if it wasn´t a MMO .. Just wish it was damn less buggy !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussircaex Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 If it were just a space MMO, probably not. If it was a Bioware MMO... I might. Then again, if it was a Bioware MMO that wasn't Star Wars, it'd probably be Mass Effect, in which case, hell yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yfelsung Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It would depend entirely on the setting it was. If it was like WoW or GW2's upcoming setting, no way. I'm done with elves, furries and techno-hobbits. If it was a different space setting, or an original fantasy setting, I'd probably still play.

Yes, lets pick something, remove what makes it good, and then ask if it would still be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantiszz Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I hadn't thought about it much, but in all honesty I probably wouldn't play if it wasn't star wars or any other skin I cared about. But then I only played wow and war because I recognised and understood the IP. I also play rift and enjoy it for various reasons but the story and world isn't one of them.

Aussircaex Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yes, lets pick something, remove what makes it good, and then ask if it would still be good. It's a valid question. It's relevant to researching, say, how much weight brand names of franchises really carry. Star Wars seems to carry a lot of weight with it.

quarlo Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Not a chance. Even the Star Wars IP is barely holding me. I love the individual story lines and If this game didnt have them, it would have been uninstalled a week into launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gokkus Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Impossible to answer since the theme is important to me. It would very strongly depend on what setting it would be in. I must say it is a very good alternative to all the medieval D&D setting games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force_Me Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I am not a SW fan, but I like this game. So, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derfmiolleh Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 If this was a Mass effect or Dragon Age based game, I dare say I may have like it even more. I like Star Wars but the other BioWare Titles are newer and fresher, more amazing imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShonaChaos Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I wouldn't keep playing this game regardless of the title. Sub is up for renewal on the 10th... doubt i'll stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zorreeam Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It would be better if it wasn't star wars. But yes, i'd play anything bioware does. I love the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonewild Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yes, lets pick something, remove what makes it good, and then ask if it would still be good. What makes the game 'good' is subjective, changing from one person to the next hence my curiosity. Thanks for your answer, even if it was in the form of a snarky question. On the other hand a Mass Effect mmo might be enough to keep me subscribed- at least for a short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larlar Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The short answer is 'no'. The long answer is that I have played WOW for years and am looking for something new. This game is the latest in a line of MMOs that have been released since WOW. All of them have been seriously flawed in their own ways and this one is no different. The responsiveness and fluidity of this game comes nowhere near the standards set by WOW, and that is very difficult for me to adapt to. Fortunately for Bioware, I am simply finished with WOW due to excessive over-exposure. As a result, I am giving this game more time than I gave any of those other MMOs. It being Star Wars really helps as I've loved Star Wars since I was a child. But the fact remains that I am teetering with this game. Its a love hate relationship at present, but Bioware are getting my money because, for me anyway, there is no alternative at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltorio Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It would really have depended on what it was. Assuming it was still a sci-fi setting, I'd likely have tried it. What drew me to the game was BioWare more than Star Wars (though SW was gravy). A Mass Effect MMO would've been equally awesome. But if it had been another high-fantasy MMO, I probably would've passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeroViper Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It depends what they opted for instead. Theme/subject matter comes into play for any game I play. I'm a gamer and a big Star Wars fan. Naturally, I was going to give this one a try. I did and I think it's a solid game with a ton of potential. I don't play every Star Wars game out there. It has to be a good game. I ditched SWG real quick after the CU turned it to garbage. On the flip side I've passed on many AAA games due to lack of interest in subject matter. I never played WoW. Not b/c it's not a good game or anything, I just have no interest in that particular theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadEdward Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I wouldn't. In the end the thing that I enjoy most about SWTOR, is the SW. Without ths Star Wars story line this game would be a weak WoW clone. I'm interested to hear your thoughts and opinions. I play most MMOs at launch, they are all fun for a while. Star Wars or flying fairies, it doesn't matter much to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicewalker Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Nope not a damn chance its half way between games and does none right its trying to be kotor 3 and fails miserably at it ,and tries to be a mmo the first iv'e ever played with no player interaction ,unfriendly or just plain no game chat and the fact im on a full server and can some times go days without seeing another player on a planet. Now if they remade the game to be offline solo only as is, it would probably be alot more enjoyable than what we currently have. I dont think with time its going to get any betterall we got is a voiced time sink of a mmo with no community whatsoever which is a killer for this genre.
