I guess this marks the end of Star Wars for gamers at least. /sad

Bit melodramatic, I think. Who else could you have realistically seen this license going to?

Personally, I'd love to see Battlefront 3 finally get made as a Frostbite-powered game. As for future Star Wars MMOs, I'm not going to touch that one (today ;)).

Still play Star Wars Rebellion and love X-wing vs TIE fighter series, but that's about it as SW games are concerned for me...all that came after it incl swg were major letdowns.

Jeez! Rebellion, eh? Pretty old school. Try Empire at War. It's actually a pretty decent SW RTS. :)

Crap! I forgot about Empire at War. I picked up a bundle that contained that game and haven't even tried it out yet.

Like someone in the Joystiq thread said: "What was UBISOFT too busy?"

But, you're probably right. EA has the monies and the peeps to churn out games.

Doom was a clone of Woflenstein 3D

Command and Conquer was a clone of Dune 2

Final Fantasy Tactics was a clone of Tactics Ogre

Man, I'm starting to sound like a broken record in these broken record clone threads.

Wrong discussion?

This was an obvious review just for being a review. If you agree with this writer over 1 open weekend .... WHO rolled captain America (and then complains about a move he has had in EVERY marvel game) you are ignorant. You should NOT be able to 1 shot a mob . because the game would be to easy and not feel rewarding. And the fact that some one is even using d3 in comparison is bananas. D3 was a terrible game with non existent algorithm. I will agree that ai is not right and needs to be fixed . Some one needs to be proof reading a review before ours it's on the front page. No data or facts about the game just some ones uneducated action RPG opinions. ...... Really? I'm in shock lol

Welcome to the site. This was not a review, it was an impression of a beta event. Stick around here long enought and you'll get the hang of things.

I personally like the P2P model. I would rather pay a set $15 a month and get the whole game rather than be nickle and dimed the entire game.

I do see the trend of F2P becoming more and more popular tho. I dont play F2P MMOs personally but it seems alot of people like that model. More power to them I say, if the business model works and the consumers spend money and its profitable then have at it. I just wont be on the F2P bandwagon.

If you think the average person actually saves money by F2P over P2P then your misinformed. The reason these companies push out F2P games quickly is to cash in and make a quick buck. Not because they think it will save you money or offer a product with some longevity and retain players.

But then again maybe I am just old and dont understand this F2P craze =)

 P2P also keeps out some of the riffraff

Hmmmm, the WoW community is famously toxic and the only time Eve makes news is when someone is a douche.

I don't see required payment being a barrier to general asshattery.

Your opinion and my opinion differ.

Here it is.

If it'd been anybody but you, I'd not have clicked that link.

WTF.

I think I hate you now.

It's amazing wow isn't "popular on this site" as you say. 

Whatever, I only played WoW about 6 months total and I'll say it.

I love WoW!  Sure I don't play it today and I never reached level cap.

Back in 2010 summer I played whilst listening to Blind Guardian and Ayreon.  Amazing experience. Thankful for the game and adventure.

 

This website is basically where the MMORPG hipsters and cynical veterans hang out. 

  Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!Ding!!

Finally! A couple of people who get it.

There is hope for the MMORPG community yet.

Oh, it seems as though this is another X-Y=applesauce threads.

You know:

I like DnD.

I don't like NW.

Therefore NW isn't DnD.

 

Could NW (or DDO for that matter) be more like dice-chucking, pencil scritching, "my name will be Drizzette" DnD? I'm sure it could.

Oh, it seems another fantic defeneding Neverwinter. Nope.

You know:

I like DnD. Not especially

I like NWN 1&2 Meh.

I like DDO more or less but feel that its dated and the company is incompetent. Nope.

I don't like NW because they literally shat on every core concept of DnD and jsut made it a themepark corridor MMO cash grab. Nothing wrong with having an opinon.

Don't fool yourself with the idea that "committed players" make a financially successful MMO.

They don't.

 

The average MMORPG player wants to reach level cap in 4 to 6 weeks max, followed by a few weeks of grinding "endgame". Then they're bored, because they've "beaten the game" and it's off to the next MMO...

 

People are playing MMO's like single-player games. Everyone's there for launch, but 2 months later they're all gone again. They've "finished" the game.

 

So the F2P games try to earn the maximum income in their first 2 months. After that it's maintenance mode until the servers close.

this is sad but true.

Actually, most of that post is a sad opinion.

*sigh* i just want to go back to P2P so i dont have to be worried aout being scammed anymore, i just want to pay my flat rate and get everything the game has with it, so i can play theg ame and if i dont enjoy playing it i can just stop, why is that so complicated, i like life simpole i like to know where my monthly stipend for gameing money is going not poke thrtough the cash shops going so do i have enough left in this month for all the things i really want, well no,

yall want the truth i want to go back to P2P cause im a cheap person and evrytime i have to use my card online, i spend to much time thinking about it, i liked it when the transition of money between me and the devs was simpilar and easyier.

last thin and im done, if the companies where not makeing more money with tis module then they where with P2P then they would not be useing it in mass like they are currently.

There are those who would argue that being forced to pay rent to access a game you've already purchased is a scam.......

Allways keep a few scrolls in your inventory for emergency shiney drops..

 

Yes, maybe you will eventually pay reall money if you want to indentify everything, but i dont see how its evil for a comapny to make money...

 

 

So far i have had about 20 hours of fun, and it didnt cost me anything..  Doesnt that sound great to you?

When they start changing the game where you have to spend money to play instead of giving you things YOU decide you want to spend money on...you quit and move on to the next game.

I don't enjoy the bait and switch thing. If they came out at the begining and said this is how the game works then I can decide if I want to play a game that will for sure cost me money. ( I don't have a problem with paying for games ) but if they try and lure people in then change the game, I'm done with the game and the company.

but...they haven't done this yet so it's something to watch for but they're far from guilty of it.....yet.

To all of these:

Graphic is like RIFT, animation 5/10 compare to RIFT.

Best Graphic for sandbox gameplay MMO with persistant world.

I would actually say that EVE Online has the best graphics for  a sandbox MMO.  ...IMO.

I'm not sure EVE is even a sandbox. Can an on rails MMO be considered a sandbox?

See?!? This thread is getting awesome!

Same hype?  Doubtful, GW2's hype I don't see being being matched for a very very very long time if ever.  GW2 presented a lot of innovative ideals (lets not make this a pissing contest plz) or presumabely innovative.  While Wildstar has a lot of intriguing ideals I don't think they will be of a revolutionary or innovative lvl like GW2 was advertised as.

Neverwinter was and is the last MMO I will preorder/founders pack for beta access.  I'll be content with a wait n see now.

... well... I think ESO will have as much n possibley will have greater hype than GW2. 

Did you avoid the CU forums the last 2 weeks?
