alaizon Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) IMHO, EA and BW are not in this for the long term. My view is that SWTOR was released to mitigate the loss of the $300m or whatever was pumped into the project, before other new MMOs take over as FOTM. The MMO industry is a short term thing now. WoW lasted 7 years because it had a head start. Now, the release of MMO after MMO in waves means there will not be a juggernaut like WoW "to rule them all" for 7 years ever again. (in any case, most of the playerbase in WoW is botting anyways) There is no need to wait 6 months to measure the success of SWTOR. By that time there will be Diablo 3 and GW2, and the same debate will start for those games. Such is the state of the MMO industry.

Caldric Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) No I want. Don't say "we" Diablo and GW are not MMO's. GW and Diablo will die like the other ones in their past. Edited December 29, 2011 by Caldric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyhorsek Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Diablo is not an mmo... and gw2 well... its not an mmo either. So... What exactly are you trying to say?

Stormag Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 i agree, for me i was expecting a star wars mmo with huge content like big planets and big space contents and we get this railed and limited leveling, surely lots will quit when another "good game" shows up if not now at the end this mmo will be like all the others besides the actual "boom" of subscriptions, just a mmo for a small group of ppl who are real fanatic of sw or something no trolling or anything i think its te truth.

Lolliipopp Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 **** D3 it's a **** game just as D2 and D1. GW2 on the other hand will be groundbreaking in terms of combat and questing mechanics. I will probably play both GW2 and SWTOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobinator Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Eh Diablo 3 doesnt look that great...sure its a great story but meh, I just dislike the style in the sky looking down. GW2...I dont know, by the actions of the GW2 on the forums I dislike them already. As for the game im kinda tired out with the whole medieval fantasy and I also very distasteful with the whole "asian/korean" style vibe I get from it (gnome cat things...really?) plus it has ncsoft on the box. MAYBE if they make a free trial...i'll try but im not holding my breath. Looks like SWTOR and WoW for me still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lienwyn Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Diablo is not an mmo... and gw2 well... its not an mmo either. So... What exactly are you trying to say? By the way... dont speak on my behalf cause I starwars has done something I trully appreciate: NO ELVES. I don't remember any elves in Diablo. Also, with the way instancing is going in SWTOR, this isn't an MMO either. Most F2P MMOs are the only true MMOs without instancing anymore.

Jaelun Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 That's a rather ignorant statement to make. Note, I called the statement ignorant, not the person making it. The definition of ignorant, is the lack of knowledge. And that statement reflects that. I will give you a few reasons as to why. 1. WoW had a headstart. Yet mmo after mmo was being pumped out alongside it's reign. It held strong. Now it's falling. Not because of a rival, because of the game itself. 2. GW2 and Diablo hold nothing new. Many have been waiting on them, many are not. Neither are groundbreakingly innovative. 3. SW has been desired by a huge chunk of it's player base for ages. We have -yearned- for this game. Now we have it. If you ever played galaxies, you'd know how die hard most of us fans are. We'd be here years after EA or BW gave up on it. Honestly, in the end, who cares? I trust Lucas Arts and BioWare keeping this game interesting for years to come. Why? Because it's profitable to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndoJabijin Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 If Guild Wars 2 is not an mmorpg than this game is a single player rpg with the occasion multiplayer aspects. Seriously, the original Guild Wars is not a mmorpg (and was never described as one). Guild Wars 2 is, just because it doesn't have a sub doesn't make it any less of an MMO.

Tsillah Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Please people. GW2 is a MMO. I know the first one wasn't a full MMO but GW2 is a full blown MMO. I find it so annoying that people just say it isn't without actually having read anything about it apparently. It will have a persistent world, it will have a crafting system and you can jump and swim etc. So please, stop talking about a game if you don't have a clue. I will play D3 and I will play GW2....but here's the thing. Neither of those games have a subscription, so they don't get in the way of me playing SWTOR as well. It may reduce the amount of time I spent in SWTOR, but that's ok. Oh and then there is ME3...gonna play that too...again no sub, no problem.

Zeodic Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I really wish people would quit saying "All or We or I think I speak for everyone..." You dont .... I have no interest in D3 never have probably never will. GW2 had my interest for awhile until I made some friends who were beta testing it, now it doesn't. SW has delivered on everything I have read so far. Could it be better sure. but what game couldnt be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolliipopp Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 2. GW2 and Diablo hold nothing new. Many have been waiting on them, many are not. Neither are groundbreakingly innovative. You said ignorance was the lack of knowledge. GW2 redefines the MMO genre as we know it.... and yes it is groundbreakingly innovative. Have you played an MMO that even looks like GW2 in any shape or form? No? Yeah, me neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
