Shrug Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Dragon Age and Mass Effect worked perfectly and have been unknown IP's before launch. I trust BioWare could have done it easily with a third one. My answer is clearly yes, because the storywriting and the way they realize it in their games is unrivaled. Yes, the story is amazing, i just cant wait to answer the next cut scene, for credits... I'm in! /facepalm Edited February 13, 2012 by Shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RakeHoxven Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 of course however it is star wars and most things in the game have a star wars theme so it is very hard to imagine swtor as a non-star wars game. The game is very good for only being released 2 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunwindIon Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 absolutely would not be here if it wasn't a star wars game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameNirvana Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 no. simple as that. even now though, the endgame PvP is bad enough that I have decided not to resub after my 35 days are up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toweleeeie Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 If this game wasnt Star Wars, I would not have bought the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bystandard Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I must say.. No, No I would not be here if it wasnt a Star Wars title and the most important thing here really isnt that it is SW its that it is SW w/Lucas arts attached. Simply put this is not a game type that I typically enjoy or play. I never set foot in a wow sever and never plan to. I never played EQ or any of the other wow-equs games. I play MMO games like eve, UO, darkfall, SWG(preNWG) and a myriad of FTP sandboxes. I am a sandbox player. I do not like being "funneled" through content. I think content should be a conscience decision each and every step of the way. I DECIDE!!!!!!! That said. I am not for bashing this title just for the above reason nor do I hold to an "playing exempt" status on this type game. I did try rift ya know. But i still think this is not the game I assumed it to be. And with that I can say I did enjoy the kotar series and as such I am enjoying this game as much. The state of MMO gaming has snowballed far beyond player decision making into "we tell you what to do" That has been a trend for as long as I can remember playing MMOs. That is just not going to stop nor is it exclusive to MMOs or even the PC/mac/console but society in general. From the time we are torn from our families and placed in the care of strangers our decision making is taken away. Who is to blame? Certainly not Lucas right? After all it was his vision that brought us the idea of good vs evil without Christianity mucking up the works. In a far removed situation were we could make that choice without it making our lives more difficult. .................. That is the crux of the main argument we have here every day but are unable too or are to oppressed to state it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadtoArkham Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Maybe. As long as it was similar. I just can't stand high fantasy, which is why I left WoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnesium Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 It was the fact it was SW that made me interested in the game in the first place, I like to play MMOS where I am interested in the world they are based on, so had this not had that name I would never have played it.

Mekare Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Honestly, I would like it more if it WEREN'T Star Wars. Mass Effect Online.. woulda been great. I'm not a star wars fan by any means, but I love the mechanics of this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoE_TooLate Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I've been playing online since EQ. I played RIFT to end game and maxed out two characters in PVP. Got bored and cancelled my account. I came back online to play SWTOR for three reasons. 1. The people I play with. 2. The game content and the appeal of the overall storyline. 3. PVP and PVE environment. When the wheels start to spin and nothing seems to be new I will probably leave. Although Gear grinds get very boring, I still feel I have a lot of PVE content to enjoy. And in all honesty the PVP fights 1vs1 or open world random battles are still very fun. If this game didn't have Star Wars in the title I would of left already.

NoxiousAlby Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 If it wasnt science fiction then what would it be? prob no, after 7 years of elves, dwarves, etc i'm a bit over the science fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethern Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Edit because of people trying to be cute. With out the starwars name and such is this a good MMO? You know wear I am going with this it is a valid question. If this was a MMO with out the star wars franchise on the label would you be playing it. I would have to say nope no way.Obviously no. I would not play this MMO if it was a different universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainInsano Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hell no. BW definitely banked on the SW license for this game because it doesn't do anything to differentiate itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adacian Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) I want to like this game - i really do . the only reason im still giving bioware a bit more time is because it is Star Wars. This is close to going down as one of the biggest messes in big budget video game history. They should have spent more time on content and smooth game play and less time making thousands of cut scenes and fancy movies that are only annoying after the first time sitting thru them.

RedEnsign Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) No chance in hell. As a single player Kotor sequel....probably. Heck, I still play UO, LoTRO, and DAoC/EVE. Bioware had a chance to replace LoTRO with this and make it a trifecta but they failed. Edited February 13, 2012 by RedEnsign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kunra Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Without the SW IP tag, this game wouldnt exist. That said, if this were an Indy game, released in its current state...quickest MMO failure in history. I said it before, will say it again, Fallen Earth had more to offer then this game. Even Tiggs will tell you, FE was better then this game. Edited February 13, 2012 by Kunra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
