darthjerro Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I know i am. For all you ppl crying " but its a single player game " , what exactly is wow? DO you group with 10 ppl and do quests. That games world is so barren, youd be lucky to see a single soul while leveling. And im not quite sure about you ppl, but as ive mentioned before, i work with / around poeple everyday, im getting sick of them, why the hell would i need to talk to them in a video game? If your social skills are so bad that the only social outlet you get is in a game, then i am truelly sorry for you. Having a thriving economy , being able to group with whoever i want whenever i want, with the luxury of questing solo ( cause lets face it, the only person you can honestly rely on is yourself, you move at your own speed, you know how you want to do things ) is awesome. No need to ever rely on anyone else. O i do plenty of flashpoints and i see FIRSTHAND what happens when you need to rely on others to help you out........Big Fat FAIL.... Like i read somewhere else, if i had 150 million to make a game, this is the sort of game i would make. IT wouldnt require you to group or quest together, but the option is there. Bravo BW , what a gem of a game. For all you soicalizers that cant go a day without talking **** in trade / guild or basically using computer games as your form of facebook...... <-----------------------WOW is that way ( and dont let the door hit you on the way out ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barracudastr Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Becuase it was advertised as a mmo... so no im not happy that its a giant single player game with "some" mmo aspects and those mmo aspects are severely lacking.

gnetikjakhammer Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 why would i be happy about paying the cost of an MMO for something that's BARELY above par to a single player rpg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izorii Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I sometimes forget I am playing a MMO the story about my bounty hunter is so good. That said this is a hybrid and while I can see nothing wrong with a hybrid it does seem to need some more MMO features for end game. But thats just my thoughts.

Jeejayelar Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 @OP: This game is no less social than any other MMO out there. This means it's completely up to the player how they want to spend their time in-game, and with falshpoints, operations, heroic areas, etc., there are plenty of opportunities to socialize with others. In other words, this isn't as much single player-like as you make it out to be. I spend the majority of the time interacting with others in some way. Anyway, I reject your thoughts on this game, even though you're talking about liking it. You talk of feeling sorry for others who love socializing in-game, well, if you're playing this game entirely solo, then I feel sorry for YOU.

Fyuria Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) I'm happy with it so far and will be sticking around but then I've enjoyed Bioware games since baldur's gate and $15 dollars a month each really isn't much to me at all for the enjoyment me and my family are getting.

Cameirus Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 because its a mediocre singleplayer game. A single player RPG should be on ME standards, this is not. Its also not a decent MMO, its too linear, it feels empty, it lacks features, it feels single player. ITs neither one nor the other and fails because of that. Its not a bad game, but its not exceptional at anything. its strickly a middle of the road compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qoojo Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I was going to make a thread on this exact topic. Only it was going to be more caustic. I love the fact that this is like a single player game with a constant multiplayer option. Plus, I get a companion to simulate multiplayer without the problem of rude and imbecilic behavior.

You do know that in 7 years , hell, in 1 year , this game is going to evolve into an awesome mmo right. To all you nay sayers, begone. You dont like, go back to doing whatever it was you where doing.

DigitalDigital Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 meh, I for one liked having to party with others in FFXI to level up. playing with others is what makes an MMO fun in my opinion. I know I can party in swtor but what's the point? Socal points? meh... I feel no addiction towards this game AT ALL. it may seem cool to you not having to depend on others so it's perfect for you, but for me.. it's the opposite =\ alone in an MMO = no fun to me. would rather just play a better single player game. but i'll give it till the end of the free trial, maybe endgame will be better than story story story story story story story, aka: spacebar spacebar spacebar spacebar spacebar @.@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxtrickster Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I totally agree with OP. I love the fact that there are players to interact with if I so choose to do so and there is the option to play totally by myself (and completely succeed). I have enjoyed the FP's that I have played in, made a couple of good friends and truly enjoyed the "MMO" part of it. I have done some PvP, which was fun, and overall enjoyed it. I am not sure I understand those who cry about this not being MMO enough. Yes, the solo quests are VERY story driven and can be done completely solo. But that is a CHOICE you make. If you CHOOSE to play solo, don't complain about the game not having MMO elements. You can choose, however, to play with a friend or some complete random stranger. Of course, people complain that because of the phasing of the starting areas there isn't many people to play with. Not sure I agree with this, but then again, I have never had to deal with it. I have never had to wait for a server queue but haven't ever had a problem finding a group. ToR is a very different type of MMO that has a great single-player aspect to it, IF YOU SO CHOOSE TO!!! But don't claim that it is a single player game. It is NOT. Don't claim that it is missing core MMO components. It does NOT. Simply take the game as it is and move on. If you don't want to play it, then don't. If you do, then do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xatoo Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Actually I have been having a great time doing everything solo so far...ha get it.. SOLO.. ok that was bad... I love the companions!! I haven't done any flashpoints or heroic things yet and have several different characters going on different servers (17, 13, 11 and few 1 and 2 levels0 and I am having a great time so far. I hope the quests keep me leveling up without having to grind away someplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krinaman Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm not sure how it's more single player than the other MMO's I played. Actually, this game probably has more group content while leveling than I seen in any MMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And try and make a wow troll post harder your failing. If you want to be forced to get into full groups all the time and grind, grind, grind to make very little progress and take two years of constant playing to get to level cap, the EQ1 servers are still up and running. You should go there since that is what you seek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimG Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 The game is what it is. Not sure why people are arguing so much over labels - MMO or single player game with multi-player aspects unctions or whatever other label you want to try to put on it. These are just labels and basically a matter of opinion. Label the game however you want, it has absolutely no impact on the actual game itself.

MadCuzBad Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I call this a single player game whether you like it or not. At its current state it is really just a single person shooter like any other. The only thing that is diff is an in depth story line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
