I'm going free to play just for the fact that I'm in this for the stories of each class and co-op with a friend , just like DAO,DA2,mass effect 1 & 2,plan on buying ME3,if theres a DA3 ill be interested,I like the companion stories and interaction of all these games.
I really dont care to jump on the hate wagon,I feel the hate wagon is trendy "hey everyone hate this and that"
I like NFS-HS too.
I also Like Ubisofts Assassins creed,Driver SF and Testdrive Ult.2 but everyone likes to hate on the DRM related to those games but it doesnt make the game less enjoyable, people just want to hate things to be trendy and opinionated.

There doesn't need to be a "buy instead". This is why EA's CEO thinks people are sheep for him to squeeze every dime out of with mediocre titles with even less customer support after they release.

Games as a hobby are supposed to fun. When they become a headache of customer service and hype without follow through, and a cash shop money grabs it is time to vote with my dollar and find something else to pass my free time with. In or out of video games.

Damn I wanted this game to be good.

Assassin's Creed, the hate is understandable. From what I've heard, lose internet connection and you can lose a couple of hours of gameplay (Depending on the last save time).

The hate against EA and Bioware isn't understable. EA is a company. It funded this game, it funded ME3 and it expects to get it's money back with profits.

Bioware has made stellar games. Dragon Age. Dragon Age 2. Mass Effect. Mass Effect 2 and 3, Star Wars The Old Republic. Knights of the... the list goes on and on... What do they have in common? They're all great games. Yes, they have some problems (SWTOR lacking addons for a start, ME3's original ending, etc) but that doesn't make them any less great.

I don't understand the hatred bioware and EA get. As I said, EA funded this game and Bioware's last few games. Without EA, there'd be no Star Wars: The Old Republic. Bioware'd simply not be able to fund it.

Just bought FIFA 12 and Madden NFL 12, in no way will I ever consider buying EA Sports games again.

Do you rly think that for companies to make a good MMO they need to have a budget of 200 million dollars because I dont , games can be good with less money invested into them.

Also if there wouldnt be EA to support this game maybe some other publisher would and maybe that would be better for the game.

I think I'll add this,really how badly is EA effecting your daily lives that you would deny yourself certain games that are really good that you'de like and not experience the game out of stubborness.

I call "not supporting a gameing company EA" a bluff.
If theres a great game you want badly , you will buy it, the rest is holding your breath until your face turns blue your mom knows your going to breath, your dad knows your going to breath and If EA pops out a game you want, your going to breath.

We know you will breath, and if EA publishes a game you want badly enough your going to buy it.
no ones fooling anyone here.

No sense it being butthurt by the shocking fact that corporations exist to make money.

People take video games too seriously, my god.
my thoughts streamlined and to the point, thanks lol

This comment screams "I don't really know anything about gaming"

Why does it need to sell over 8 million copies?

Since when does amount sold equal quality?

Look at CoD, that trash breaks records every time. I know people are sheep just using this one example.

To answer your question without your stupid 8 million copies sold requirement: KOTOR, Mass Effect 1, Witcher 2, Minecraft, EVE, Assassin's Creed 2, Gears of War 1 and 3, Halo, Uncharted, Grand Turismo etc. Also Nintendo 1st party titles say hello. I could go on and on. Im a TRUE gamer, I play everything.

I will continue supporting SWTOR as long as it does not go Pay to Win, but the second it does, EA will only see my finger while money goes towards other products. No way in hell they are getting any more of my money outside of this game seeing how this is going.

After having played through Warhammer Online's terminal decline and now SWTOR's............ I'd think really hard about ever starting another EA MMORPG, it has to be said.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?
