Jamps Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I'm pretty disappointed that they decided to go the MMO route on the series... especially 300-some years after the events of KOTOR. If it were set immediately after TSL, I may have considered buying it, but I really wish it was another single-player RPG. I kinda hope it crashes and burns and they make the sequel everyone has been waiting for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I hope it fails miserably. Part of my persona secretly hopes that that happens. If I can't have my cookie the way I want it, then no one's having it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstr kenobi Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I was nay, then undecided (that, well it could be good thought), and then firmly back in the nay camp and i hope it fails in craptacular way, lucasarts always deserves a good fail. Yeah i'm a hater and i'm hating lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qui-Don Jorn Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Wow. Hoping it fails....I can't even fathom that. i'm just going to enjoy it and let the haters miss out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I'm in the "No" crowd. The reasons: 1) It doesn't really look like the "Old" Republic with those ship, Jedi and trooper designs. 2) It's an MMO, which is just not my cup of tea when it comes to video game genres for many reasons I don't care to repeat. Still, I hope those who do decide to play it will have a good time. As for me, I'll stick to single player RPGs (and other genres) which don't require monthly subscriptions in order to play.

Astor Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I started off firmly in the 'nay' camp, then moved to the 'surely it can't be that bad' camp, then the 'yay' camp, and now I don't know where I am. I'll definitely be making use of the free trial period, at least. I don't like how they've gone from the 'we took inspiration from the films' position, as they had with KOTOR, to this position of 'We've just taken everything from the films and changed it slightly', but if it plays well enough I might be convinced to give it longer than the trial. But it's a rather colossal 'might'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I saw Bar, so that is how I voted. I'll possibly try and I’m pretty sure it will exceed my expectations since I have none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Ell Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Yay by default though I voted unsure since I have no MMORPG experience. LucasArts has no other games I'm interested in and as far as I can tell it's not likely that LucasArts will publish a Star Wars game I'm interested in playing in the near future. Thus TOR will be the only way for me to get a fresh Star Wars gaming fix cuz replaying KotOR and TSL only makes me wish for KotOR 3 and after 3+ years of that torture I'm through. Through I say!!!

danitiwa Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I'd much rather like kotor3, so no. I'll give it a chance if people who've played it think it's outstandingly amazing, but if it's as unentertaining as Star Wars Galaxies I'm probably not buying it.

SoYa Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I like it for a few key reasons. a) Playing with friends: I have a good group of 3 friends who I know for sure will get this, and I know at least two will play it all the time with me. And I have 3-4 other friends who might get it. b) Bioware: Everything they touch is gold. I will trust whatever they do. I wasn't going to get Dragon Age before. Now I've learned my lesson. c) It's not just any MMO: From what I have either seen or heard, this seems like it is much better than any MMO. I have always hated MMO's because of a lack of story. I had loved the other parts about it (player vs player, merchanting, crafting, playing with people, clans), but without a decent story mode those games all seem empty. This game is almost guarenteed to have a good story (decent at worst). And the added elements will hopefully increase it's long term appeal. I understand the other side of the argument, but the key point here is letter b. It won't fail us... @Ztalker - Your Activision comment can be misinterpreted. EA has already done that with madden. If you get a new copy you do not have to pay for the online. It is a code that allows you to access the online features. If you buy a used copy you will not recieve this code. Instead you have to purchase it from the marketplace or store for around ten extra dollars. It isn't a monthly fee though. Activision would have done the same thing. It wouldn't effect me since I got the game at the midnight release, but the reason I have a problem with it because it then gets more people to buy used copies which gives even more money to the producers, and less money to the distibuters. And there is already a large margin. Rightfully earned, but it should not be taken advantage of like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emalin Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Voted "unsure" because: (1) Like the above poster said, everything Bioware touches is gold. (2) However, I'm desperately disappointed that there will not be a third SPRPG continuing the Revan/Exile storyline. I'm also disappointed that they seemed to have made the "True Sith" into just another bunch of your typical Sithy bad guys. KOTOR2 led me to believe the True Sith were something... different... (3) And lastly, I can't afford a monthly subscription. Maybe the MMO will turn out to be good, and if it does, great. Still, I don't think I'm gonna get over being denied KOTOR3 anytime soon! *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth333 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Not at all. When someone first told me it would be an MMO about five years ago, I was hoping I had heard wrong...but no... Sorry MMOs are just not my cup of tea. I play games very irregularly and when I do, I often don't have internet access or very limited access so it's just not worth it (and I have no interest in spending time playing MMOs either).

internalgrenade Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 i went from liking it to not. it has nothing to do with the original series except the name. so i still think they should come out with a kotor 3. and if they don't i will invest all my assets when i am 18 to make a kotor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried you were shutting this thread down--not sure why you gave me that vibe. Yeah, the irregular playing is starting to become my life as well. Can't keep up with it, speaking for myself personally. Trying not to knock it before I try it, and I want to try it out, but it just doesn't seem like it would work for me.

harark1 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Nay. The problem being that everything looks like it is from Episodes 4,5, and 6. The Republic troops look like clones. The Sith look like Imperials. In the Hope trailer the main soldier also bore too much resemblance to Jango Fett. It seems they took a rich unexplored environment of the Star Wars universe and filled it with Episode 4,5, and 6 looking characters. FYI The sith are imps. This is the begining of the empire. For me I say YAY!!!!!!!!! It looks awesome.:thmbup1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Clarke Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I voted unsure, because it looks WAYYYY too much like the movies, the lightsabers don't look like lightsabers, and I think that the lightsaber hilts look WAY too thick.(plus, I secretly hope it fails miserably so we can get K3.) On the other hand, I think this will be marginally good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommycat Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 You do realize that if it does fail miserably, it will seal the fate of K3 as well, as the marketing guys would simply say that there isn't enough interest in the KotOR series to justify making another game. There MIGHT be a K3 if people play it and leave after completing the main campaign(s). Though admittedly, TOR means there most likely will not ever be a KotOR 3. But those wanting to play it without a monthly fee, have hope. There might be an emulator that comes out a couple years after the official game does.
