Varaten Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Okay, I am really disappointed. I looked around at Youtube looking for good reviews for STWOR, and what do I find everyone trash talking about how bad this game is and how much this is going to fail and I only found one good review of the game. I have played four classes so far and love this game. Most of the stuff that was on Youtube was about having to deal with the voice acting and that they just wanted quest text to know what they have to kill. I am sorry but when I played that “other” mmo I was entirely bored of the story line and thought that it made no sense. This “other” mmo barely put any effort into story and tries to appease to people who just want to kill 30 boars for 4 tusk, instead of having good story and feeling like the accomplishing things with their character. I just want to say thanks Bioware I think you made a great game and keep up the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lu_Bei Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 People just have no sense of contentment anymore. Maybe if the game had **** scenes or children getting shot to pieces (well, wouldn't be a first for EA) everyone would stop complaining. They can't stop complaining, because they need an outlet for their negativity and hatred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLightningLord Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Most of the stuff that was on Youtube was about having to deal with the voice acting and that they just wanted quest text to know what they have to kill. This right here invalidates their opinion in my eyes. They knew the game was heavily story driven and had a lot of cut scenes and dialogue..... and they chose to play it anyways. They lose the right to complain about it, they knew the game was more than likely not their cup of tea. I'm having a ton of fun with the game, and honestly the dialogue and cut scenes and story are what makes it most interesting. Also, when it comes to reviews the minority is always the loudest. They didn't like the game and therefore no one else should like it, and they'll do whatever they can to turn people away. Just have fun and don't pay attention to these kind of people.

Too many bug, too lonely feeling, vast empty. PvP is fun though. Edited December 23, 2011 by Boesmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varaten Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Glad you can tell the future. Will I ever find true love? I only used that title because its the first thing that comes up when you type "why star wars old republic" and then you get "why star wars old republic will fail". I don't know the future and I don't if star wars will fail. But I do know that I will continue to play this game. Thanks for trolling on my thread and not making any real comments, move along.

WLpride Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) it has not failed, but at some time after probably 1 years minimum it will has to go into maintenance-mode and start sustaining itself without 100+ dev team. But 100 devs at $100,000 per year that's only $10,000,000 which a $30 exansion in 2012 would only need 333,334 sold to cover dev cost alone.

PunisherAS Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 A lot of reviews are WoW based. Notice how they don't like the "Voice Acted sequences" Typical WoW fanboys. WoW has set a base for MMO's so when something isn't JUST LIKE WoW it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you're just talking about the mechanics of a quest, does that have to do with the story? You realise Legend of Zelda, The Elder Scrolls, Metal Gear, Metroid, etc.. are all full of 'fetch quests' cleverly disguised as a story..? Hey, the Lord of the Rings is one big fetch quest. I guess the entirety of English literature is, therefore, flawed, and a WoW clone - but WoW is, of course, better than life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrynen Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) I'm just saying, I could see how the voiceovers would seem gratuitous for those quests.

Lu_Bei Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Dude I am 40. It starts out good, but it slowly devolves into that. Dubious. I've been to 45 twice in BETA as a smuggler and, no, it doesn't boil down to fetch quests. You obviously haven't been to Voss around that level, where it digresses into some pretty different stuff than the rest of the game's material. Yes, you've got the experience 'dude'. "What's the Lord of the Rings about? Oh, some dude goes 'hey can you drop a ring in a volcano?' Then they go and kill some stuff, fight some bosses, and drop the ring off. Its basically like a madlib for every other story ever." Edited December 23, 2011 by Lu_Bei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
