AJMTL Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Considering the lack of depth of their testing, the outcome isn't surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thbends Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 9/10? Agreed. Loving this game. Now if all the guys obsessed with trolling would quit the game we could really have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshalleck Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 You keep rubbing your hands together hoping for this....I hope you don't try anything foolish should Bioware announce yet another population growth soon. I'm pretty confident that's not going to happen. We'll see what happens over the next three months. And just to head off a response I sense coming, I never made predictions about the first month. I've always maintained that signs of where the game is headed will be seen at 3 and 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already did quit the game. Haven't logged in in over a week. There's nothing stopping you from logging in, playing, and enjoying TOR, so why are you here?

WarTornPanda Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Oh jeez. Bioware and these reviewers are going to look like buffoons when the next earnings call comes around and the subscriptions are below 1 million. It's only going to get worse.

jarjarloves Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Good or bad, I just don't trust a publisher that dropped $300 million on a title. That's SO much to have on the line. So much riding on the favorable perception of the game in the gaming world. do you have a link for the 300 million dollar quote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacktongue Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Videogame reviews in magazines/big sites mean absolutely nothing, they are all bought. Metacritic user score: 5.9, thats from players. Which is pretty bad since players usually over-rate games. EA almost certainly paid reviewers.

marshalleck Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Oh, so you are paying to post on the forums. Brilliant! Nope, account isn't subscribed at the moment. But fear not, I only have one day left to get my money's worth of entertainment out of SWTOR before I join all the others who've left and may or may not ever be back for a second look at this game.

DigitalDreamz Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Oh, so you are paying to post on the forums. Brilliant! Are you really that dense? Care to think about what he said? It's simple, he paid for a month, didn't like the game so hasn't logged in over a week. He still has play time which means he can actively post on the forums till his account expires.

Azzras Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) I wonder if you will be singing the same tune, should it come to pass that 1-1.5 million of TOR's initial subscribers don't remain past the 6 month mark. That rating is crap because the game is crap. Edited February 16, 2012 by Azzras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshalleck Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 So what excuse will you use when we see you posting next week? If I'm posting next week, it's because the forum allows unsubbed and unpaid accounts to post still. I have no idea if that's the case. If it's not, then you won't see me next week. Guaranteed.

Meldwyn Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Sometimes I agree with critics and sometimes I don't. I can think of times when Movie critics hated a movie, that I ended up loving. Then again, I have seen movies critics loved and I couldn't stand... Oh well, such is the world of opinions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jett-Rinn Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'm pretty confident that's not going to happen. We'll see what happens over the next three months. And just to head off a response I sense coming, I never made predictions about the first month. I've always maintained that signs of where the game is headed will be seen at 3 and 6 months. Welll...if you would listen to the TORWARS podcast (which you wouldn't cause you loathe hate and detest TOR) you would know that a subscriber increase is pretty much a done deal...but hey maybe next month or six months or even ten years from now..sooner or later you will be right...take solace in that.

Drewser Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 That rating is crap because the game is crap. Wrong. But a more interesting question is why are you wasting time on a game's forum that you think is crap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAM_FOX_HOUND Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 9/10? Agreed. Loving this game. Now if all the guys obsessed with trolling would quit the game we could really have a great time. ^ THIS I really wonder if people just skip their character's storyline and plot, just for the sake of levelling up and doing PVP. I mean there's a lot of things that you can appreciate from each character's point of view of the story. And in my opinion, its great to just try getting immersed to the plot first, then do Hardcore PVP later or 2/3 of the game. By that time then, known issues with PVP would have been straightened out.
