Star Wars: The Old Republic: Questions from a Gamer
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 5/04/09 12:09:30 PM
The intro was cut due to space I believe.
Bioware - a game company with a great history for making great games, Star Wars - the intellectual property that practically coined the term 'intellectual property', and MMOs - the only drug with no 12-step program. When Bioware announced Star Wars: The Old Republic I knew that was the recipe of a great game (and me being single again) so I loaded up the SW:tOR forums and started scouring them for information. I watched the first video diary and learned they would make storyline a big part of the game experience. If there was ever a bunch of guys that could make storyline work in an MMO it would be Bioware, that's one of the things they always got right, storyline and soft core porn. When the next Friday update comes through the site with screens of naked. . .blue. . .alien. . .ass, I'll be sold! Wait, what? Oh, whoops, sorry, Fox News is only three channels away from G4 on the Comcast. . .my fault. After I watched the videos, downloaded the wallpapers, and read through the forums I came to a souring realization, the forums sounded exactly like the last eight MMO forums prior to their releases. A truck load of player opinion and discussion. A community moderator closing the thread when the player housing discussion shifted to whether or not my mother's house should have a lock on the door. And a few links to interviews where every third answer is, "We really can't talk about that yet", apparently the only thing holding back the rise of Soviet Russia is that they don't quite know if they'll be able to drive a land speeder or not when the game goes live. |
