JustTed Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I recognize that these games represent a sort of player abuse, but at least tell me you love me after you slap me. Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zyanzor Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Penny Arcade has always made fun of EA. Take a look in their archive from previous years. There's atleast 4-6 comics on how much PA hates EA. PA hates EA because EA didn't produce their POS PA video game. So of course they're going to hate on anything EA makes or produces. All the proof is in PA's archive.... Edited February 15, 2012 by Zyanzor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominoris Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Again? Just how many threads do we need about old news? OK, so Gabe got butt-hurt over a quest. I saw the same thing and thought "that was odd" and moved on. Took 5 min tops to do the whole after act running around. Really? Some people's kids. This is what you have to do all day? Go play huttball or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurniipKing Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I've pretty much been saying this for the past month. The thing is, it's not even the biggest problem. There's no indication that any of the actual people in a position to make changes has even heard any of what we've been saying. If we've got to wait until Tycho or Gabe are articulating issues on Penny Arcade before anything will ever be done, this game is in a lot of trouble. They need to get some community feedback seriously sorted out. Communication with the payers/players in a game like this is vital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shingara Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) I totally love what EA did to Westwood /sarcasm Same thing will happen to Bioware. You see this is the type of comment that makes me laugh, the only people that did anything to westwood were westwood, you know the last game westwood made, renegade that lost ea millions, westwood was a profit loosing part of ea for 3 years. They created some great ideas but thats all they created that was good after tiberium sun and red 2. Now dont get me wrong on this i loved westwood and tiberium sun but before trying to slate ea for what they did atleast know the facts and also the fact that even when ea cut westwood they continued to pay royalties for the red alert series to the creaters and owners of westwood and also took on anyone and everyone from westwood who wanted to carry on working for ea and they went into EA LA. BTW to the article, who cares ? reviews are ten a penny and if you like the game who gives a smeg if someone being paid to write reviews doesnt agree with you.

iain_b Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I had the same thing with my BH- go talk to a guy at the fleet. No dialog, just a popup window awarding me some XP...

You are a liar. http://penny-arcade.com/2011/12/21 I quit playing the Star Wars Beta months ago because I didn’t want to spoil the game for myself. I think that statement alone says a lot about the sort of MMO Star Wars is. Now that the game has launched Kara and I have jumped back in and we’re having a great time. We have not experienced any of the long queue times or crazy lag that so many people seem to be complaining about. I understand that there are plenty of people having technical issues with the game but I can’t speak to that. I’m playing a different class than I did in the beta and so I’m getting a brand new experience. I’m just amazed at the quality of the class specific story-lines. The mission objectives and dialog choices really help you develop a character and not just an avatar. I mentioned this when I talked about the Beta a while ago and to me it really is the defining difference between SW:TOR and other MMO’s. While playing last night with Scott he explained that his bounty hunter was all about completing her contracts and getting credits. She didn’t let her feelings get in the way of the job. He was thinking about this before his character was even level 10. I’d be very surprised if he had any idea what sort of “person” his Troll Shaman was in WOW. Kara is playing a Sith Inquisitor. A couple nights ago she was complaining that being bad was difficult and she was struggling with some of the dialog options. Last night she was volunteering to help torture people and was actually pissed when we accidentally gained light side points. Bioware has always done an incredible job of putting you in your character’s shoes and making you care about them. The fact that they have managed to transfer that into the MMO space is a *********** triumph in my opinion. -Gabe out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taitano Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I remember this on both my sage and sorcerer. I also remember the rage. I thought it was an oversight on my sage until it also happened with my sorcerer. I don't think I've ever been as mad at a game, and it happened twice. I don't blame him for not wanting to pick it back up right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alavastre Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Gabe is probably lucky, the story doesn't get better for the Consular, in fact the second act is painful to get through. I'm a Jedi and I have to play babysitter for a bunch of *****y ambassadors. Yeah, fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
