Guessing Purple is better then Blue?

you forgot gold which is usually best or unique.  but yeah, purple is better than blue

 

90% of game = you watching cutscenes(story lines) and running. ...alot of running..

 

I want to play..not watch/listen to the game.

Indeed horrible and i think she is just payed to say this thats also obvious.

 

Awefull video review:(

Sounds like someone is butthurt for whatever reason. Must not have anything "worthwhile" to play eh?

And.... I agree with pockett.

Just a quick post.

She likes the game.

I like the game.

I think a couple million other people like the game.

I am having fun too Pokkett.

To some of you - bye bye!

To fellow SWTOR players - Merry Christmas!

ill agree the game's quest system is nice, but thats about it. i personally have played many many mmos, and to be honest, starwars old republic is the same old copy/paste from any other mmo. if you ever played ffxi, they offered the same thing. great story line, and i would say is probably 1 of the best mmo i played so far back in the day. reason why i left? because im a pvper, in the end the game didnt hold up to my pvp expectations. hut ball as you call it in starwars is nothing but a capture the flag game, and that free pvp zone you guys get is nothing special. i forgot the other 1 thats called but its same repeat in any other mmo. also the number 1 reason why i dislike playing starwars is because, there are no number 1 to simply put it. the game is another copy version of any other mmo, and the only unique thing starwars did was add a nice quest system. i for 1 is a pvper, your a quester so you wouldn't mind doing those quest. so you probably wont see it on my point of view. also another part where i dislike the game is when i saw a posting about this person already hitting lvl 50 in the first week of star wars under mmosite. if this faq is true that makes it even more of a reason for me not to play it. i want a challenge in an mmo not an easy breez through the game. you all are probably wondering oh what game can offer that, or have fun lookin lol, well i have found the game thats perfect for me, and that is eve online. eve online although its borring at first month because all you do is skill train and try to get the system of the game, i think has the best mmo mechanics in it. eve online doesnt limit you to choosing your job. you can be a smuggler a pirate, an outlaw, a buisness man, a miner and many more. shit you could even play a gay toon there lol. oh but you guys will probably argue that, that is a sandbox mmo. to be honest it doesnt matter if its sandbox or not, its what the game has to offer. eve online offers real game system into it, there for making it more challenging then any other mmo out there, compared to any other mmo. ya eve is borring, but thats only at the first month like i said. i think if i was to say whats 1 thing that eve online is missing right now? id probably say is a better mission system. if eve had a mission system like starwars or ffxi the game would be perfect. anyways that game isnt for everyone after all they are ranked as the most hardcore pvp mmo overall, and the game is only playable through people who is actually willing to take that challenge. anyways my point wasnt toa rgue about eve vrs star wars or anything. my point of the argument to you pocket, is starwars is just to repeatative in the end. same old same old, other then that your review was awsome lol.

so, you think that waiting 15 hrs while you travel between planets in Eve is fun?   how about going off to do other things while you travel for 15 hr (real time, btw)  only to come back to find your ship has been destroyed (permanently), you're in a coccoon, and the companion AI is making fun of you. you're right, that does sound like fun (not)

lol it doesnt take 15 hrs to travel in eve unless your auto piloting, then thats just dumb. if you really wanted to get somewhere you would manually pilot. also about the destroyed ship, like i said eve is challenging and when your new and im guessing u are its not going to be easy. it takes time to learn the game but once you get the hang of it yes it is fun as hell

I tried it & that's what happened to me, you don't have to believe me.  I went thru that long assed tutorial & it never said anything about any alternate ways of travel.   It was dull as hell anyway

lol read my post. i said the game takes time to learn, and i do believe you. im a 3 month old player in that game and i have been scammed, and lost stuff by hauling expensive stuff through a dif area, but you know waht that didnt make me quit. if you take your time to learn it youw ill eventually like it, if not then you will always be falling into trouble in that game, hence why its the most hardcore mmo out atm. it takes real skills to play and brains. im not saying your dumb or anything to play the game, im just saying everyone who starts out playing that game and doesnt know anything bout eve will go through it lol. its normal and thats what makes the game so much more unique compared to any other mmo. in other mmos there are rules you gotta follow in eve its all about survival of the fitest.  anyways it saddens me that you experienced that in your first time of playing eve lol, but its not for everyone. i play it because its the only game out atm that can truly offer a challenge.

Ok, she likes the questing.  What happens when she gets done with that phase?  Yep bored.  I note so many complain of the grind, yet getting to end game fast is disasterous in a MMO.  We have seen it time and time again, yet the developers continue to make this mistake.

Watching the spaceship on rails sequences reminded me how much I disliked that feature in the beta.  Of all the stupid things to do, put such a archic feature in a new game.  They should have just put spaceflight in a later expansion instead of demeaning the game with such a feature.

This is a fun game to play initially, but it has no staying power.  I wish those playing lots of fun, but don't expect it to last.

Where's the article? I just see a video link.

Its her video review series...  Also, on another note. I find it amusing that the haters have now sunk so low that they are saying that people who review and like this game are paid by EA/Bioware. Better yet, some even belive that while people are saying that they like it, they really hate it to justify to themselves that they actually bought the game.

Honestly, its really sad.

Anyway, great review Pokket and i thank you for taking the time and effort of doing so :)

people who say these quests are really fun, are brainwashed. LOL they just have dialog that's the only difference is you have to listen to someone talking instead of reading. WoW big breakthru.  So let's see Reasons NOT to play SWTOR. same old end game gear treadmill check, questlines with a single kill ten rats goal check, pvp that's inconsequential to the overall world check. Hmmm. Let's be a little more honest folks, how many innovations are there REALLY and don't give me this crap about it being a storybased mmo, if it has mmo in the name and they want you to pay a fee to play, they had better deliver the innovations.

If you don't know the difference between reading a wall of text then accepting/not accepting, and having a conversation with an NPC, then I feel sorry for you.  You obviously don't give a crap about the "RPG" in MMORPG.

Too bad.  Your loss.

 

Oh i know the difference, you use another sensory organ rather then your eyes, doesn't change the fact that it's a copy/paste mechanic of an older era in the mmo genre and it doesn't change the fact that having a single objective per quest(outside of group content) is still boring to this day. Nor does it change the fact that this game was touted as being a next gen game, which means, innovation innovation innovation. So far they've done nothing but copy other games. Hell they don't even have AOE looting LOL much less separate pvp and pve skills which has plagued EVERY dev since the dawn of mmo developement. Go back to your drawing board and try again.
