Except the Jade Empire of couse which turned out to be just plain crap.

 

You mean in your opinion it was crap, myself and many others enjoyed it, at least we are backed up by great sales and great reviews while all you have is your opinion.

Yeah and we all know that the more it sells the better it is, like Brittney Spears and all that crap.

For me the game was way too linear with invisible walls everywhere and the combat was stiff. I'm not a fan of asian mythology either.

Which is, of course only YOU opinion. It has a 89 score on metacritics and anyone i know who has played that game think otherwise.

I would much rather trust myself and metacritics then someone who just want to rant on bioware because they are not making a sandbox game.

with the way soe did galaxies...it's hard for me to envision a fix on that game that would safice...and i alwaysthought they needed to try it again from scratch.....so here we go!!!!!!!

Sadly, KOTOR Online isn't really an MMO and will hold next to no similiarities to Star Wars Galaxies (in any of its incarnations.)

KOTOR Online is just another (very huge) KOTOR game, with some co-op additions.  Its NOT "living in the star wars galaxy" like SWG's original vision was meant to be.

It is the only game from BioWare that I haven't liked so far and I'm not asking for sandbox, FFA pvp or anything like that.

I guess it is "OK" RPG game for consoles but it felt way too simplified, linear and boring to my tastes and on top of that the theme was asian mythology.

Tried to play it as a mage but I guess you just have to be some kung-fu ninja in it since the mana or chi or what ever didn't regenerate.

In regards to SWG devs being on the Bioware team for this, do you think if we took most of them back in time and put them to work on that again, they would do SWG the same? Sure, some vets loved it, a lot of them wanted to burn Sony to the ground with everyone who worked on that project in it.

The kind of endless hate SWG inspired in a lot of people would make me think twice about doing the same thing again. Or maybe, just maybe, the people who own and run the company, you know, Bioware, might have some input as well as these SWG devs. "Rattle that around in your brain box a bit."

Wouldn't it be something if they made their own game without the assistance of the fans and their great ideas? Would be nice to be surprised by something new and innovative.

Heh this person done called the vets "butthurt".

What really makes ya laugh is when ya realize that "butthurt" is probably "hitting the nail squarely on the head" in any topic pertaining to them. After all, it would take being "butthurt" to carry on for over 3 years about a game. Would take some major body violation, I would have to imagine, to whine this long.

I am glad I was among the majority of gamers that felt that the PRECioUs was a game I wasnt going to buy at launch. Due to the bad word of mouth from beta, most folks knew to avoid it like the plague. I say most, cause obviously some bought it anyways. Not all PRECioUs players were MMO nOObs that had no clue coming in.

Shame they wont go support games being made in their fashion nowadays, and leave this forum to those that wanted an action MMO, out of the SW IP, the first time around. We waited all this time, and now rather than enjoying talking about this game, this forum is dealing daily with this type of BS post that only incites flames.

That is of course assuming that TOR wont be another sandbox...but that assumption is looking to be fact the closer to beta/launch we get.

I imagine we  will see these "I want SWG" threads increase as more info about TOR is released.

As the OP indicated...they(along with some other vets) have been anticipatiing PRECioUs 2 since word about Bioware started leaking in 06. It wont surprise me to see more than "butthurt" posts as it becomes solidified what type of game TOR will be. I am anticipating downright psychotic responses from them when their bubble is finally completely flattened.

We have seen glimpses of their frustrations since TOR was officially announced...but IMO this is the tip of the iceburg. You see several of them now constantly calling folks out because they dont wanna have SWG2 as well.

This is while they still have some hope BIoware will include their type of gameplay in TOR.

Take away that last shred of hope they have, and I think things in here are gonna get real messy.

Oh well...should make for some entertaining reading. Even if it is the same old tired chit ala the OP.

All I have to say is that I can't wait for this game. I'm seriously so pumped for this.

Yeah me too I have such high hopes for this game ..... I hope it delivers.

Old SWG had so many good things, and a few not so good ofc. I just hope Bioware gets it right

    Mmmmmmm, so many hopes and dreams, cant wait to read the posts after launch.
