dreamsb Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Seriously BioWare, this is sad. I am a huge fan of Star Wars, and I was hoping that this game would be such exceptional, but it is not sadly you killed the SW franchise. How can a 200$ milions budget ''mmo'' be so badly made, not ready and simply aweful? If 75% of your initial budget went into production, game engine, et AQ Tester instead of Voice Acting all arround the world, perhaps this game would have been the most succesfull mmo on earth. Sadly, this wont happen anytime soon and i bet SWTOR will go Free 2 Play, sadly And please for the haters and BioWare / EA Fanboy, dont tell me the usual crap: bla bla bla the game is only 2 months old! bla bla bla. Who cares? dont you see and understand the game that you're currently playing? 80% of all the bugs / empty worlds / missing contents and bad low rez graphic SHOULD have been fixed in production / beta and be ready at the launch. This game was released at the end of 2011, at least expect to deliver a game that reach the current timeline. Remember guys, I play mmorpgs since 12 yrs+ and such a huge project like SWTOR with arround 200$ millions on their side is just not normal seeing the result. Something went stupidly wrong in the process (voice acting perhaps?) Say what you want, but by seeing how many players are leaving the game so quickly, ToR will die within a year (i've seen this scenario on Age of Conan and Warhammer, the same story is just repeating) A sad customer I wish you the best with your remaining players.

Jarvus Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 This disproportionately large spending on voice acting was known even by the bulk of the fans following development, years ago. But the voice acting that's in it is really good. It's just that voices, as great as they are for initial immersion, do little to enhance replay value. Things like better mechanics and better optimization so it runs better would have been a better choice. I still like Bioware though and hold out some hope. Not gonna type more cuz the thread'll probably be gone by the time I hit Submit Reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zachajariah Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) It's almost as sad as somebody who doesn't know the difference between a suggestion forum and a general forum. You've killed my hope for mankind. See what I did there? Btw: pulling numbers out of your arse with no facts or actual numbers, makes you look like more of a fool than you're already doing. 75% on voice acting, really? Grade school is your friend.

DorkTrooper Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I suspect they spent more on IP leasing than VO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akirator Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Not saying your wrong or anything, but I'm curious if you have a link to where BW stated they spent 75% of the budget on VO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSchmo Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Out of all these type of threads, not one person has EVER posted proof of how much was alicated in the budget for voice overs. Makes me laugh. Prove me wrong with proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledinElysium Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I don't even care if the OP is right. If they spent 75% of their budget on voice acting then I think they made an excellent choice. I'm not a power gamer, so I play this game for the story and the immersion into the setting. The voice acting is, for the most part, superb, and that dramatically increases my enjoyment of the game. If they had released a game with all sorts of mechanical balance and game engine issues supposedly perfected, but had bad voice acting or no voice acting at all, I can pretty much guarantee it would not have held my interest for very long. I see dozens of complaints on these forums about narrow technical issues people are having that they say ruin the game, but I haven't encountered a single thing that's more than simply an expected nuisance. So thank you, Bioware, for spending so much money on quality voice acting to go with your largely well-written stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cartumandua Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 This is the suggestion forum, not the whining forum. If you hate the game, I suggest you cancel and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kourage Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Let's just say 800 million and 90% went into voice acting. Seriously, you have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Gao_Gao Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 what i want to know is what causes people like you to make these types of threads? not only is your post rife with just complete drivel, but there is this deeply seated emotional outpouring that is also contained within, a trait shared with many of your peers. i think that the SWTOR forums, if anything, provide a great place for people to use their "issues with the game" to provide a sweet library of various personality disorders. this forum should be archived and studied.

vanisle Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Brad Pitt did all the voice acting - this is common fact - they just traded him for babysitting Edited February 24, 2012 by vanisle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gokkus Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) I heard they spend a good 125% on voice acting. Thats 250 million out of 200! Stop trolling OP, you have no idea what your talking about and this is one of the more lame provocative threads ive seen so far. You even lack the creativity to come op with a new way to troll. Even so, I dont care if they spend 99% of the money went to ergonomic chairs, the game is what it is. Edited February 24, 2012 by Gokkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
