True, but part of me always hoped that it would be 'just a rumor'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I know I'm one of the few but I don't mind it being online, and I'm confident Bioware can make a good game that can compete with World of Warcraft and not make the same mistakes Sony made with Galaxies. Of course I'd rather have a real KotOR 3, but an MMO is better than nothing at all right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Graffiti Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 no such thing Err... What? Bland? Are you kidding me? It is Bioware. And it's not like we actually know that they're making it. Fail. I also fail to be disappointed, though, since we all knew something like this would happen and have had ample time to prepare the funeral. That's rather unlike you, Inyri. Are you having a bad day?

Astor Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Of course I'd rather have a real KotOR 3, but an MMO is better than nothing at all right? That will, of course, be discovered as more is revealed. Let me make this clear - I would be willing to play it, if it didn't have any subscription fees. EA MMO? No subscription? Not bloody likely.

RyuuKage Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Err... What? Bland? Are you kidding me? It is Bioware. maybe i overstated, but it's the simple truth that 'epic' describes no MMO in existence, and I doubt even Bioware could make that happen. MMOs always end up the same: grind grind grind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I'm with Darth Moeller on this. I think it has potential to be a great game, if Bioware can take the best aspects of MMOs (e.g. updating content, social aspects, ability to play with millions of my closest friends) and minimize or eliminate the worst aspects of an MMO (griefing, spawn camping, etc.). Would I much prefer a cRPG? Absolutely. I love the role-playing aspect and ability to tinker with my character and choose my destiny instead of the game choosing it for me. However, from a business standpoint, it's difficult to argue the financial success of games like WoW, Guild Wars, DDO, or LotRO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nedak Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I don't mind it being online either. Also they haven't announced it on either Lucasarts or Bioware.com yet so everyone settle down. Also, there is another thread of this in the KOTOR III section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astor Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 and minimize or eliminate the worst aspects of an MMO (griefing, spawn camping, etc.). Unfortunately, I dont think theyll ever eliminate such aspects - which I feel is the worst thing about such an MMO. All I'd want to do is maybe explore some Kinrath caves, when I get hit from behind and all I see is this: Haha, pwned noob! And then killed as soon as I reappear somewhere. Not my idea of fun. And you can't really pick up and play with MMOs. If you do, you'll soon find yourself left behind. That's one of the reasons I love the KOTOR series - I can play an hour or so when I want to, not because I feel I have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan7 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 There is still hope; EA is working on the next version of Star Wars game Knights of the Old Republic, and it will most certainly have a massively multiplayer online component to it. Perhaps it will be both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyri Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 ability to play with millions of my closest friendsWhen did you get so popular? Would I much prefer a cRPG? Absolutely. I love the role-playing aspect and ability to tinker with my character and choose my destiny instead of the game choosing it for me. However, from a business standpoint, it's difficult to argue the financial success of games like WoW, Guild Wars, DDO, or LotRO.A cRPG would be better, and you're right that it's financially hard to argue against. Self-respect and good work ethic is a thing of the past once money becomes involved. God forbid they put out a good game when they could put out a better-selling but less engaging game. Sigh. I miss the good old days. Stupid EA. This is all their fault. >.> Not really, but saying that makes me feel a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the reasons I love the KOTOR series - I can play an hour or so when I want to, not because I feel I have to. exactly, that's another big problem. MMOs require dedication, basically prohibiting you from playing anything else if you want to be able to survive in the world. If you just play short periods every so often like you would with a regular game, you'll quickly be left in the dust and are unlikely to recover from it.
