    Played quite a bit of this at E3 and it was Awesome. They just released a new video that actually captures quite a bit of the game play that I really enjoyed. I did not get to do any of the actual leveling instances, but I was able to level up a few times just off the pvp alone.

    This game has been very slow to release, but still are taking their time to polish it up. As much as I want to play this game now, to me it's a sign of a company that wants it done right.

    From what I played, this one will be great..

    can you at least read and understand what i am talking about before trying to argue with me?
    point 1,
    the devs said that they wanted the gamer to experience the feeling of being a "hero", yet fails to convey that feeling in the walkthrough.
    thus, i gave the EXAMPLE of Force Unleashed where you actually had a feeling of being a "hero" type character

    Point 2, i am not referring to the previous installments of the KoTOR game when i said koTOR MMO.
    i am referring to THIS game, which was initial refered to as KoTOR MMO as it is still set in that era and continues the story of the previous KoTOR games
    and although it is now called Star Wars: The Old Republic, referring to it as KoTOR MMO is still more accurate than calling it Star Wars MMO

    and i have played tons of MMOs and how is it ahead of it's time?

    the combat sure isn't.
    the skills isn't
    the graphics isn't.
    the UI isn't.
    the co-op isn't

    just having voiceovers which people are just gonna skip over anyway?
    granted them trying to have a storyline in an MMO is a great attempt but if they are just gonna have a great storyline than they should just have stuck with makig KoTOR 3

    I read your statements just fine. But to expect the same out of game that offers more, there must be some draw backs.

    Again, you have not played the game to KNOW anything of your little list..
    the combat sure isn't.
    the skills isn't
    the graphics isn't.
    the UI isn't.
    the co-op isn't
    ..is or isn't true. I have played the game. A rather small part (34hours or so) and I can testify that it has gone farther than any other MMO in it's genre.

    Now I am not some random person that is going to throw up my 2 copper in this particular area. If you notice, I have a fairly small post count for being on such an active site for the length that I have. There are only a few key topics I pipe in on and this is one of them.

    Game taste and preference is a key to marketing a game from the get go. You don't like what you see, fine don't buy it. But to state little BS list when you do not know any of it to be fact, places you in the category of a standard "Know it all".

    Best graphics in an MMO to date?
    what?
    Granado Espada had better graphics and Aion's graphics are so far above it you have to run it on a really poor system to compare it to KoTOR MMO
    Hellgate London had better graphics.

    of course, graphics alone don't make or break a game but given the amount of time they had on this game, couldn't they at least make it on par with Mass Effect?

    and the MAIN reason why i don't like the game anymore is the combat and gameplay.
    they keep on going, "so you feel like a hero" but there wasn't even the feel like a hero type combat like in Force Unleashed.
    the Sith warrior jumps into a group of enemies and the devs was going "you are gonna feel like a hero cuting down enemies" and the warrior takes ages to finish off those NPCs

    See, here is where you are confused. You are attempting to compare The force unleashed, a project I am very familiar with (since I was one of the developers), to an Online MMO. TFU is a storyboard game with twitch graphics.

    Additionally Kotor was also NOT an MMO. You are talking about an Online platform that has to work sync and collisions engines for 1,000 clients or so, per server.

    Maybe you need to look up what games are in this actual genre to understand how ahead of the times it really is.

    Additionally, the graphics were done intentionally as far it saves file size and makes it more appropriate so NOT only the population with the latest and greatest machines would be able to play.

    They took a lesser, more artistic style and I for 1 think it works great.

    This game has created a huge buzz. Bioware makes great products, I would suggest trying it before you bad mouth it.

    Check out the new 20 min developer walkthrough

    http://www.gametrailers.com/video/gc-09-star-wars/55340

    *edit*
    just started watching the video and the graphics for the game is BAD.
    it is not even Granado Espada level and sure as hell can't be compared to Aion or Blade & Soul
    and even an old game like Lineage 2 can give it a run for its money

    i think even Mass Effect had better graphics

    *edit*
    just finished the video and I am not interested in the game anymore.
    even though they tried to hype up the combat and story, it is still the same as any MMO (maybe the story aspect is abit different) but the same old, same old

    Well if you want to base all your games mainly off graphics, guess that's your choice. But you will have a hard time convincing most people, graphics alone make a great game.

    I will assure you that this game does go further than any other online RPG of this nature. You let me know how wrong I am. I would really like to read where other online RPG's have actually done this before.

    If you have zero interest, then you have zero interest. Don't start making sh%t up about this title not being original. It has taken that next step forward for this genre.

    As far as the combat, well it is supposed to be fairly easy at points. You ever seen a Batman comic, movie, or TV cartoon? Batman takes down nameless thugs by the dozen without breaking a sweat.

    I would compare the combat system to Assassins Creed meets Siphon Filter and then on steroids. There are a lot more beautiful artful ways to take out your opponents by the dozen. Multiple different ways to sneak attack a group of roaming patrols.

    It is a game that gives you a true feeling of playing as the Dark Knight. I have been one of the lucky ones to actually play a boss fight (E3). I must say the boss fights are a bit more difficult. The game also progressively gets harder as the game goes on.

    As far as a turn off because of ambient lighting in a air duct, well if that's all you have to complain about, stop playing video games because there are minor problems such as this in every game, even Final Fantasy.

    i don't care about the game.
    never liked DC stuff, batman movies i can enjoy but not games, comics etc
    plus, i never ever concern myself with "professional" game reviewers since there are just too much instances where the reviews depend on how much money they get paid

    Guess no one here can change your mind, but I would suggest you try 1 of the 3 available download-able demos. It is quite awesome for a reason.

    Reviews are out in Europe and they're all over 90/100. Everyone is saying it's a serious contender for game of the year.

    I'm really surprised but after watching the trailers it does look pretty freaking sweet. Downloading the demo now :thumbsup:

    Played the demo and it is awesome.. Good story. Good fighting. Good action. Can't wait for the full. Played more than the demo at E3 and that was good.

    AvP will also be a great release but probably not as big.

    Global Agenda was another great E3 game.

    Greatest game that never was..

    They made some great updates to help fix the game after the launch. Problem was, you never felt sucked into the story line during the actual game play. The cinematic appeared to be so distant to what you where actually playing. It could have been really great. They had a good storyline to base it off of, good class choices and so on. But PD hit the nail on the head. Great armor and visual for a twitch RPG. Just not enough to keep it going. They spent all their time and effort/energy/money on mass weapon design. (Which was really good, especially the upgrade system)

    They attempted to compare it to Diablo because a few where the OG developers. Problem was Diablo was great for it's time. Gamers are becoming numbed by "seen it before" and "(Add Generic Developing Company here) already did this."

    I love helping to build a game that has some staying power and gives fans a thrill. BTW to anyone that owns "The Force Unleashed", great things are coming your way. I wish I was still with LA on the upcoming expansion. I hear great things about it..

    Bioware has yet to make a game that I haven't enjoyed. They also made Baldur's Gate, one of the greatest RPG's of all time!

    This will be another winner. They have already shut out the EA propaganda machine from the decision table.

    If any of you are still playing City of Villains, few of us are still playing on Freedom. I created a Villain Group called Sanctuary of Seram in respect to Sin Wars origin story line.

    Anyways, if you are interested.

    Out of all the stuff I played, I would say Global Agenda caught my eye the most as a "Wow, how come I haven't heard of this." It's a FPS MMORPG. Really polished..

    www.globalagendagame.com



    Hardware had to go to Natal and Alienware. Alienware has a new large 180 degree view monitor coming out that was beautiful. Little pricey though. ;)

    Personal interests were Aliens vs Predator and Arkym. But Ruse was also up there on my, "I wanna see more."

    Bots and other 3rd party programs ruined dueling in Diablo.. The end..

    Players attitude or demeanor was never an issue because I played Hardcore and you can't really talk shit when you are permanently dead. :P

    I'm not too fond of that kind of game, but I must admit that this one really kicks ass! I'm starting to like ... "the force" :D! If ever I get this i'll start with an assassin for sure!

    There will be a lot of people that enjoy this game. The story line and game play, are both way more intense than Kotor I and II. The only issues that are still being ironed out is the engine has some huge issues with dual proc's and mass crashes with certain Radeon cards.

    All elements are fixable.. Launch is guesstimated at a year or so away..

    Are you ashamed of your face? Anyway..

    No. But I have worked with a few developing companies and shared some insight on this site. Granted I don't think I have ever broken any of my contracts, I rather play safe as far as my identity goes.
