Taos Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Since the game comes out tomorrow [or Today depending upon when you read this] what are you going to do? Anything? I'm getting it for sure! After work tomorrow I plan on picking up my version of the collectors edition of the game! I was so happy to be a part of beta and now I can't wait to play the game live! Bounty Hunter here I come! This will also provide a great distraction for me when all of the kotor spoilers will be around..x.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jed Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I'm not sure :\ I'm still on the edge, but I probably won't. Dude...that picture is SO calling me.... "You stand up. You kneel. You take a ****." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunClown Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 No, I am getting KOTOR instead. Plus I am buying Republic: The revolution. SWG may prove to much of a distraction to my studies since I would be on it trying to get my monies worth each month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Apprentice Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 *stands by 220* I have been on the edge for a long time. For a while I was sure I would get it, but then I got to thinking and it got less appealing. If it gets earth shattering reviews then I might get it. I hope it does. *thinks about owning Leemu on SWG* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swat Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 You guys might wanna have a look at the opening crawl (one with game intro written under it) Just heard that the game had sign-up problems. Did you get them Leemu? I won't be buying the game because of the fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted June 27, 2003 Author Share Posted June 27, 2003 Yep, I got them....along with everyone else. x.x It's that type of game, they couldn't test subscription server they used....but hey, that's the way it goes. I'm in now though so I'm not worried. I started thinking about the monthy fee and I realized that it will actually be cheaper for me to get this game and play it, rather then just buy games. I have a 6 month subscription [7 actually, the first one is free] and it's going to cost me $77 - which is just a little bit more then the average cost of one game is......so they way I see it, this will save me money and prevent me from buying boring games. This one will keep me busy for a long time to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leXX Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 No, I will not be getting SWG. Yes the game looks awesome, and will probably play awesome too, but I just cannot bring myself to pay a monthly fee to play any game, not when there are so many other great games on the market.

Eets Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 I think this review pretty much sums up my view of SWG: http://content.guru3d.com/article.php?cat=gamereviews&id=49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Petrucci Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 I'm going to buy it after a month or so, by that time most of the problems will be sorted out and the game will be running smoothly.. It's a shame you can't use vehicles at first... I'm a big fan of MMORPGs, 53 Mage on Everquest (Quit a long time ago) and a 30ish Mercenary on Dark age of Camelot(Still active).. If it's any better than EQ than it'll be worth it. SOE has always had launch problems with their games, When Mythic released DAoC I don't remember many problems.

Lord Glorfindel Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 This MMORPG will be widely popular amongst hard-core fans (who do nothing but sit around all day and think star wars) just because it has a star wars label on it and you take on role in the SW universe, and thats stinkin cool!!! BUT that does not mean that I will get it because it has a $15 buck monthly fee! Thats three lunches out the window! Not to mention you have to pay 50 bucks for the game, so I stand behind what others have said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=ReApEr=- Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 I will deffintley be getting it, i've imported it. Im just waiting for it to arrive, can't wait to play with you Leemu pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrie Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 Having recently seen a very nice movie of SWG, my mindset has changed from it somewhat. I would live to give the game a try, but two things (credit card & stable income) are currently withholding me from buying it. Then again, I always have NWN for my online RPG experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jed Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 On second thought... No. Can't come to grips with it...I can't justify wasting money monthly on a game I *already* own. That's what turns me off about MMORPGs.... I'm more willing to buy other games...I'll wait for KoTOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what turns me off about MMORPGs.... I was at Wal-Mart yesterday and had my hand on the box and was prepared to take it to the counter. But then those exact thoughts went through my mind. There are too many other great games I want to blow my money on. I'll just listen to everyone tell me how great it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Gurdash Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 SWG makes KOTOR seem sooo far away but i can wait if i ever get a highspeed connection i may consider buying BUT the chances of that happening is like watching an abestos cat chase a paper mouse through hell.:burn1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, there aren't that many out atm, but in the very near future (next couple of months), there will be some awesome games to play. Half Life 2, Jedi Academy, KOTOR etc etc. In the mean time, I'm playing all my old games. Just stop and think for a moment. Just exactly how much will you end up spending on this game? Will you not have just as much fun playing KOTOR and JA? How much time are you willing to spend playing it? It will take over your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I posted this before but I'll do it again since this has come up again. I can't see myself paying for something monthly that when I decide I'm done, I don't have anything to show for it. MMORPGs take a lot of time and effort. What's all that time and effort leading up to? Once you decide to quit your done no college degree, no car, no raise, nothing. I'd much rather play a game that I can play 1-2 hours a day and finish in a month or two. Then if I want I can play it later and know that I can stop anytime and not feel left behind. That's my opinion on MMORPGs. If I was in high school I might feel different. But when I look back 5 years from now I don't want to have memories of killing a Krayt dragon.

John Petrucci Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I got to level 53 in EQ (cap was 60) and it took about a year or so, but I'm not much of hardcore gamer. It's really a self control thing, if you can't stop after an hour or two than you really shouldn't play MMORPGs. It's like learning how to play guitar, not really how to play but how to practice. If you manage your hour and a half of playing time wisely, you can get a ton of stuff accomplished and improve yourself. If you don't know how to manage your time you could be one of those people who is on for upwards of 16 hours a day and doesn't even get anything done because they don't understand how to manage their time and properly play the game. If you put in 2 quality hours of gameplay, then you can accomplish more than someone who does three or four times that. If you understand how to play and the monthly fees don't bother you than MMORPGs can be alot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
