This may be the best news for SWToR yet. DE ideas were backwards and 100% in the box thinking. Everything he said in interviews as to the difrection he wanted to take ToR made me want to unsub. I am intrested to see if this takes ToR in a better direction.

When EA takes over a company they gut it then merge them together. Origins was gutted by EA and all the creative minds of that game left. Mythic was bought by EA and gutted. Westward same. BioWare was pushed into partnership after the during the release of DA:O we can see EA's influence in DA2 and ME2. Which were the two new games not yet developed at the time or very early on. I predicted this would happen when it was first announced over in the BioWare forums. I have seen EA do this over and over again. As a company EA can't make decent games they have no creative will they just want the money.

This is the first time I've been worried about the quality of the game going forward; probably a sign that they are going to ignore the one thing the game did exceptionally well for an MMO (story) in favor of making it more generic and boring. (A.K.A. cheaper.)

That is a goofy picture. Agreed.

Its not EA who created TOR it was Bioware. EA already has a shit reputation and with TOR / DA2 Bioware ruined their own rep as hard as EA did. ToR could have been so much more, but Bioware decided to make it the way it is instead of a insane big space / ground mmo. Bleh SWTOR was the worste amount of money i spend in my life -_- and i bought 2 copy's worth with 2 timecards for 160 euro. Hope they choke in it and go bankrupt those money eating game molestors :) http://speedtest.net/result/2112016336.png |

This is unfortunate. Now he will probably build another high rated piece of... name it. ;)

Originally posted by Unshra Exactly, Talk, but making comments comes from what you think, they made the game with far to many story scenes for one thing, we buy an MMO to play and have fun, not sit there and watch umpteen hours of cut scenes, you could fly through the story driven quests and literally finish the story quite quickly, then what ? there was nothing else to keep you playing, every MMO has its "sell by date" imho, but SWTOR was a matter of hours, the game in reality was ruined before it was released.
it was a game where you were smacking the spacebar to end the cut scenes, as for quests, they were a total minority, only a small few were not boring. it was not EA that ruined the game, but the people that made it having no idea. |

I can't say that this is a surprise, given how things have been going. Considering how many companies EA has destroyed over the years (rememeber westwood studios for one?...), one would think that they and NCsoft wouldn't be trusted any more. But greed and/or desperation tend to blind people.

Originally posted by NBlitz I suspect that anyone trying to do that, would be tied up by EA's legal arm until well into the next century. They may know little about games, but they have a rather keen sense for how to manipulate the power system. |

Those saying not EAs fault sorry you are wrong.
The whole swtor debacle thing is just a continuation of EAs epic screwing over of mythic. (sack everyone who knew how to make games, appoint brownosers with game making experience as project leads) |

Why am I not surprised... this is a continuing trend with most of the good game developers that were merged/ bought by EA.

As with all of their purchases, EA is somehow under the delusion that the name "Bioware" somehow makes games good, and it doesn't have anything to do with the people that actually made those games.
Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

SWTOR fail was EA's fault as is ME3 and DA:2. Reason for it EA wanted SWTOR to be the same succsess as WoW and so made an exact copy of the mechanics, they just gave it a Star Wars paint job. Dragon Age was shredded and remade for a wider audience to be able to play the game and not be confused by the mechanics of spells and combat. And we get the steaming pile of dung that is DA:2. ME3 had some realy good writting then we get to the end of the game and it falls flat. As none of the choices you made make a damn difference and you die in all of them. With a A,B,C ending which was promised would never happen by the devs. You could say we didn't get an A,B,C ending it was more like a Red, Green, and Blue one. DA:3 will fail this is my prediction and EA will liquidate the assets of BioWare to gain back some of its money lost and then move onto buy another up and comming studio to destroy.

Was this the same guy that had long brown hair and said somehing about space combat wasn't going to be about "dicking around" before launch? I can't find the video interview of that.

Sorry saw this coming and said so more than once. This guy spouted nothing but sacred cows that later where redesigned or proved failures due to lack of MMO fundamentals of player choice and options; from activities to faction guild/trade bifurcation to surnames... more than anyone, he's responsible for rhe situation TOR is in today. Good riddance to a creative force behind the NGE too.
