Who Swtor was made for.

Yeah. I'm gonna call BS. Considering LA bought out the remainder of the existing contract, which they were under no obligation to do. Furthermore, both companies had said earlier that the games would coexist. There were other corporate shenanigans at work, though I doubt anyone is going to get the truth of the matter. Those that do know won't speak of it.

Exactly - which brings me back to my theory Lucasarts is developing its own RPG.
Also, including space combat and openworld/SWG style, therefore not allowing off-rails space combat for TOR and Clone Wars Adventures (both theme park).

Interesting news I sense, in the distant future...

I wholeheartedly reject the notion that a hardcore gamer is someone who rushes to finish something. I'm pretty hardcore about my gaming and I if anything enjoy a nice long progression where I savour my achievements and enjoy the arc. Many people who self classified or are so called by others as being hardcore consider the story a meaningless feature that just gets in the way of them finishing the content.

Rushing to finish. Pushing to dismantle the entire game into a cynical block of logical puzzles that you must defeat isn't the only way to be hardcore.

This attitude about hardcore means that anytime somebody with even a reasonable sense of dissatisfaction with how easy it is to blow through content in TOR gets labelled as somebody who should get some sleep.

There is a point when you don't have to be a hardcore monster to think something is too easy. The problem is that many many many people seem to think that this game should only be accessible if you can effectively, as someone earlier in the thread said, switch their brain off and play it in place of watching TV.

I don't think I'm crazy for sayin that that is a pretty restrictive way for most of us to play if we actually like to keep our brains switched on most of the time.

The words "casual" and "hardcore" are almost entirely without any concrete meaning. Mostly they're used as derogatory labels.

The California Literary Review for one. "Storytelling suicide". Direct quote.

Furthermore, those 75 perfect scores are from reviewers who get paid to play the game but not finish it, not people who personally pay their own money to play the game. In addition, review "scores" have been under attack for years as an accurate representation of the product. Where have you been?

It also doesn't matter how many perfect scores you get when the last thing someone remembers about your product is that it failed to maintain its quality until the end.

And it never once accured to you that lucas maybe doing stuff for bioware on there lead IP ?

Nope, honestly I do not believe that at all. I think they are only acting as licensor.

Failed to maintain it quality what a load of crap; I was perfectly fine with the ending and so was a lot of people. The problem is the butthurt are crying because it wasn't the ending they wanted . When a game is written by it's players it is no longer art it's just pandering to a few self entitled cry babies.

Right, so there biggest ip on the market is swtor, they get revenue from swtor based on profits and are advertising swtor themselves and you think they really are going to put in a direct competitor to there money earner that they have invested at best 6 years into ?

Least to mention its well known that ea companys do intergrate with other houses under there control and that you dont think the best people to goto on stuff like space would be light and magic ?
