DarthTHC Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yah... I mean there's nothing epic about the story we've played so far. Nope, not when the Consular *SPOILER* or the Jedi Knight *SPOILER*... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it's an mmo doesn't mean they can slack off, they boasted that the story was going to be awesome..uhm..no it isn't You can have an incredible story in an mmo.

MaverickXIV Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Mass Effect is a single player game. It makes sense that it feel more detailed than an MMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthTHC Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Consular storyline sucked. One opinion. I thought it was pretty cool. Not as good as Knight in the mid to high 30's or as good as the start to the Trooper (which some people dislike). But still really good. Guess that means story is subjective? The beauty is all the class stories are different. If you've done them all and hate them all, are you a Star Wars fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanerithe Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) are you a Star Wars fan? The stories don't feel apart of the star wars universe to me ;\ The biggest problem is how far in past it is in the time scale..meaning what you do on your character literally means nothing.

Bulauk Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 No. period. No. This game does not need any more of a single player influence it need to be more MMO. I even hat the ship upgrades. You need to see and be around other played to feel like you are playing an MMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMOs can't be like single player games because... well, because... it's just science! Everyone knows that nothing from single player games which is either cool or fun could possibly be extrapolated into an MMO, duh!

That right there is debatable. I've had lots of "holy ****!" moments in TOR's story, which is a first for any MMO i've played. ME3 is good, I'm playing it now, but I don't think you are appreciating the differences in the mediums. For instance, have you stopped and asked why you can't jump out on any planet in ME3 and just wander around outside like you might see in TOR if you visited, say, Hoth? The same reason for that applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanorDM Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The biggest problem is how far in past it is in the time scale..meaning what you do on your character literally means nothing. What? You do realize that the orginal trilogy took place in a Galaxy a Long Long time ago in a Galaxy Far Far away... Anything done in the SWG game would have the same issue. Plus we are talking about a Video Game here, so nothing you do means anything even in the best case... Because it's all Fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fictional story set in a fictional universe set in a game. If you want meaning in your life, this is not the right place to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipodes Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Have you seen ME3's laughable user metacritic reviews? People are whining about the story and mechanics of that game too. If any lesson is learned, it's that haters are going to hate. The whiners are way too demanding of what they want in a game rather than enjoying what the game offers. Everything seems to end up black and white for them rather than any type of balance. I've seen so many reviews of SWTOR on the lines of "DO NOT BUY ENDGAME SUX BUT I LOVED 1-49" which is ridiculous considering that's still 120+ hours of fun.
