Did this game deliver on the hype?

Hmm... Yesterday was officially 2 months since release, not 3. Wasn't sure if you were confused on that part.

3 month time card is your excuse to explain an imaginary 60% value dictated by some random guy in a forum with no sources?

Until they release numbers, why even speculate like you have any idea?

I don't try and speculate when the sun will die, why speculate on things you cannot control or see?

Says the guy who would've happily linked us a bad review if there was one to be found.

It really had very little to do with KOTOR, which was my biggest disappointment.

Ethics section. It's fairly common. Don't want to believe it? Fine.

"Yup because they made the mistake of buying a 3 month card. My game time runs out tomorrow. Valor Rank 80 Marauder (second highest on my server) and I can barely stand to login anymore. Game is terrible."

LOL! So terrible you sank that much time into it? Seriously...somethign is seriously seriously wrong with people who can (a) devote massive, and I mean MASSIVE, amounts of time to something and then (b) turn around and say it's awful and (c) spend all their time on the forums whining like a 3 year old whose candy got taken instead of just walking away and not looking back if they do, indeed, hate it as much as they claim. Take your meds, people.

i love threads that ask thinly veiled questions about satisfaction in the place where the disgruntled people congregate.

the masses of people that love the game to death aren't going to be here defending it, they're playing it. they aren't aware/couldn't care less that people are mewling about how imperfect it is.

ITT: this thread again.

I think Bioware delivered a great game, but not a mmorpg. Don't get me wrong, for what the game is, it does really good. The problem being, that it's just not enough. Bioware should have put as much sandbox as they have themepark and blurred the lines. 1 through 50 was blast. Collecting all the datacrons was really fun as well. Doing dailies and the gear grind is not.

If you call standing in Ilum afk'ing 15 hours a day while I do work for my job... a serious investment.. Then you are gravely mistaken. I have 2 characters 1 Valor Rank 74 and 1 Valor Rank 80 who got this purely by idling in Ilum. Sadly that is the PVP endgame right there. You toss in my 3 wins for my daily PVP reward and flying through Hutball or being stun / rooted the whole match.... This game is pretty bad.

1-49 FANTASTIC GAME. Post 49... Worst experience ever and not worth paying for.

You mean the super high, impossible expectations we were, at every turn, encouraged to swallow hook, line and sinker?

I expected 'good' when they declared 'great and innovative' and what I got is 'good' on the story front and a non-starter on pretty much all else.

The PVE? Nuclear Santa Clause, but hasn't WoW boiled this rat long enough? We couldn't even get a new rat?

Crafting? This is the deep and spectacular crafting system the deeply committed craft-loving designers came up with? Get mats, which will eventually require you to farm dem HM's and ops, then throw them into a black hole until the desired schematic upgrade pops out. Keep throwing mats into the black hole to get the augment slotted versions.


Space combat? Very nice little arcade game. Not a thing less, or more, period.


PVP? Bahahahahahahahahahaahahhahahahahahahaha.

Open world PVP on Ilum? Ahahahahahahahahahaha.

Flashpoints? Very nice story stuff, no mistake. Bit buggy; no biggie, just kinks to work out.

Hardmode FP's? Bahahahaha. There's one boss and it is Enrage Timer with lots of different skins and some funky variations in where it's jumping around.


Operations? "Dude, where's my master looter?"


So uh...yeah. There's a pretty solid case for feeling pretty irate, and it's not unreasonable given the number of faceplants so much of this makes.
