If they can make a MMO that plays as brilliantly as their SP titles do without the slide into repetition or grinding as virtually every single MMO does, then I’d happily pay the monthly fee and consider it an amazing value over the single expense and limited scope of a SP title.

It will be a huge task, a task that will either set stunning precedent, or lay in the shadow of failure with other grand promises from developers just as competent.

I truly wish them success, however if they do fail, I wish they have the insight to realize it, bow gracefully out of MMO territory and then return to the SP market that they and the IP stand out in.

(Coolest being the Obiwan vs Vader in A New Hope. No fancy dancy twirly stuff in that one)

And I’m confused at the part where we aren’t allowed to be disappointed at it being an MMO. Or should everyone just shut the fuck up and toe the line?

It’s no great newsflash that the games industry (key is in the second word there) is out to make money, but I would venture a guess that a large amount of those who enjoyed KOTOR would like another SP game like it and I don’ think people being dubious about MMOs in general is some sort of vocal minority demanding they make the game they want to play.

In short.. expecting people not to be somewhat upset in this instance is what is silly, moreso telling them off for daring to express it. I don’t see anyone demanding they cease and desist and make the game they want, just people upset at the direction of the series.

This video is extremly awesome! I love the light saber battles in the newer series of movies and games because they make more sense. If Jedi/sith has enhances abilities then their battles should be fast and destructive with both parties going for kiling blows/dodging or parrying killing blows unlike the first three movies where they just kinda hacked at each other like unskilled robots. (in Vader’s defence is part robot so . . )

I’m still confused on the part where you or anyone else gets to tell Bioware what game(s) they should be making? Aside from voting with our wallets, that is.

Game companies are going to make some combination of the game they want to make, and the game that will make them enough money to keep making games.

Making the game that a vocal minority wants is going to fall somewhere beneath those two on the priority scale.

Would I enjoy another single-player star wars RPG? Of course I would? Do I begrudge SWTOR for not being that game? No, because that will be silly.

Seems kind of silly to complain that a company is making a game that you don’t want to play.”

Because it means there won’t be another KOTOR? Y’know, hard to enjoy the many many other star wars rpgs that are being made, isn’t it?

A) a Star Wars game
or
B) a MMO

If you have a major problem with either of these things, why not accept that it’s Not For You, and look forward to one of the many many games being made that aren’t Star Wars MMOs?

Seems kind of silly to complain that a company is making a game that you don’t want to play.
