A Look At The Old Republic

Nice Video, watched it at lunch on my break at work.
As an average gamer and a neutral. May I say, I did buy this for a FanBoy reason of Star Wars movies. I have been happy with the game so far and this week so my first venture beyond the fleet. Now Im hooked, cant stop playing it. Joined a RP server to enhance experience and now im fully integrated. Bugs (yes) flaws (few) but they dont for me take away the concept that I can be a Jedi for 4 hours a night.

FUN 8/10
ENJOYABILITY 8/10
ESCAPISM 10/10

I never said I hate haters, I simply stated that all the name calling and the "your opinion doesnt mean crap cause my opinion is better!" rubbish has destroyed the forum community and the people who constantly make threads like "this is why swtor will fail" and "this is why i quit" or the "why dont people realise this game is new!" and "this is why i am staying!" are also destroying the community by causing flame attacks and in so doing makes people not wanna log on the forums anymore who are sick of the attacks everywhere.

Lol, now you call resists people who criticize games, I did not realize that someone can go that far with this nonsense term


Its like when someone says, you are dump because you bowed up this car. Another guy says in response: yu call me a dump because I am green you resist. End up with overusing this idiotic word.

Based on my experience you say that only when you know that you messed up and ypu cannot defend yourself in any other way. lol

There was something off about this video that I just could not put my finger on.... then I realized they were using a higher rez version of textures we never had access too since beta

Way to go Bioware, why dont you show screens of how the game really looks.

I noticed that fps did not drop through the floor in the fleet shots. There were also no stutters, delays, and apparent misfires in the combat as shown.

All in all a very good promo video. My only question came when it was said that a lot of people in the studio were playing. That is, are they playing the same game as the rest of us? I am enjoying the game despite issues and will be playing for a few more months. I am not a hater; more disappointed than anything else. Since the game I am playing launched broken, had / has bugs, bugs, and more bugs, has multiple combat issues, has graphics and fps issues, etc., etc., and so on, if the devs in the video would tell me what game that they are playing, I would love to give it a try.

Anyone tell me if 'Community member' Ernest Cline (author of fanboys?) isn't the same as the Bioware employee/bloke at 0.37 in the vid?

Just pisses me off that they continue to misrepresent the game this way.

Oh my GOD guys, seriously.... grow up...

I love reading posts on this forum.... a couple thousand people angry about something all come to the forums and complain, and think that because other people on the forums share their opinions, that the consensus on the forum is at all representative of the opinions of people who actually play the game....

You know what would have happened if Modern Warfare 3 was advertised as "The same game as last time! Just a little more explosive!" It would have BOMBED. Nobody would buy it, because that's bad marketing.

You can't seriously tell me that if YOU created a product, you'd advertise first and foremost, what was wrong with it?

The game is great but it seems each server i log into is so laggy i cant play it.

My laptop easily exceeds minimum requirements so the laptop is not the problem. so now the question is. Why is it laggy and will this server lag be fixed?

For all the complaining about how bug-riddled and incredibly horrible this game is, I've been enjoying it a lot. I have yet to encounter a single game-breaking bug, and I'm having fun playing through things and exploring. But then, that could be because I'm not racing to 50th.

I can't help but lol at all the people who raced to 50th in the first couple days and then sat back complaining about lack of end-game content. Can't really fault Bioware if you decide how you want to play is completely different from how they expected things to be played. Here they construct a legacy system, long storylines for every class, etc, and you play your one character to 50th 2 days after release and are upset that the game doesn't have every feature you feel it should already, just because that OTHER game that's been out almost a decade has this or that. And yet, if this WAS that game, you'd have gone through the work of taking 7 characters to cap. God forbid Bioware looks at that and goes "You know..these people make alts. Let's work on a system that encourages and rewards them for doing it, unlike those other games."

I've played enough MMOs by now to understand that just because I'M at the top of the game, it doesn't mean my problems and the problems of my peers are the most important ones. Games will always cater to where the (not always as vocal) majourity sits, not to the people who fly headlong into end-game and expect chocolate waterfalls and magical unicorns everywhere.

But then, I guess my server must be the only one where the majourity isn't 50ths, and I must be the only person getting all these minor patches every week. That would explain why some of you seem to think they aren't doing any work at all and absolutely nothing is ever getting fixed.
