Star Wars: The Old Republic

One of the guys I play games with was trying to get me to get this. The cheaper verision is like $70.

But it's also got a subscription fee.

Though, commentary on it. Those graphics are AMAZING. They look so real. It's impressive. If it was a topic I cared more about I might consider it. Not a starawars geek though.

If youre big on mmorpgs or Star Wars it looks like it's a great purchase.

 

They're not real live people it's not going to be perfect. Still, I'm impressed what CG can do.

 

I think it's going to be a fantastic game, almost all my friends are planning on buying it. And I plan to as well, as soon as funding is secured. And as a huge Star Wars fan having read numerous books, I can not wait to immerse myself into the RP portions of the game. Twi'lek sith inquister all the way.

 

I hope it's good. I intend to pre-order it as soon as I get my next paycheck, as long as there are still copies to pre-order. The graphics look great, but will look sucky on my comp, as I can't even play WoW on any graphcs setting above the lowest one. (well, the one immediately above it only forces my fps to hit 15 instead of 30, but that's too much of a drop for me.) I enjoyed KotOR and its sequel (after patching...), so hopefully this MMORPG is good.

 

I'm still sad that LucasArts didn't allow Obsidian (or if another development team was taking over) to develop Knights of the Old Republic III, but from what I've seen from The Old Republic, it looks very good indeed. I won't be getting it though, on the basis that it's an MMO and I can't afford to pay to play a game on a subscription based fee.

I do know someone who is a massive Star Wars fan and is literally going to take a week off work just to play it when it's released.

 

I can't wait but the game will be buggy early on and I can't aford the subsripion but When I do, Human Trooper Vanguard all the way.

 

I want to pre-order SO BADLY but I literally have $4 to my name. If I had a spare 5 or 10 bucks, I'd have already hit the pre-order button. If I had a guarantee that it wouldn't charge my account until late August/early September, I'd be on it, but I won't risk getting $50 charges on my checking account. Maybe I'll just get a friend to let me borrow the pre-order money.

Edit: Also, as far as KotOR II not being as good as KotOR I, there's an excellent (read as "explanatory but stupid") reason for that. LucasArts decided they wanted KotOR II to be out for the holiday season, and Obsidian complied. To have the game ready, Obsidian cut tons of dialogue, quests, and a full planet from the game. They also didn't have very much time for QA testing, which is one of the reasons the game was so buggy. If LucasArts had been intelligent and not forced Obsidian to rush to a deadline, the game would have been much, much better. Instead, it was good, but bug filled, with the promise of so much more that could have been.

 

That's fair enough really, KotOR II has such a diverse reception anyway, which is part of the reason I grew to love it so much. I do love the first game though, a true classic.

Raeil's explanation is spot on, but some very nice people did bring back a lot of the cut content back onto the game. Trust me, download it and it really improves the game by a considerable amount, even though I liked it beforehand.

But screw LucasArts.

 

KOTOR 1 was awesome! KOTOR 2 was too, but the ending was really confusing, and felt rushed.

This looks so cool, and im so sad i cant get it cus its pc exclusive

 

I so wish I could pre-order! Stupid non-available in Australia yet, I've been waiting since 2006 for this!

 

Mate, SWTOR looks like it is going to be an amazing game. I've been wanting to play it for over a year because I think the introduction of the story element is going to be a wicked cool thing. When they released the pre-orders a few days ago I was "F ya". Then, I had to read through the fine print--probably PC only and initial launch in the U.S. Neither of those two options are deal breakers (Bootcamp for my Mac, have a friend ship it from the US(to Australia)) but still... It is a bit annoying.

My hardest decision for this game right now (I've already committed to getting it) is deciding which class to play.

Devestated, I loved doing the beta testing for TOR and am so excited for it to come out! I would probably just move to North America of Europe just to be able to buy and play it. Thats just how much I love it, lol, and I have already decided on what class and specialisation that I want to have when I can finally get TOR!
