That looks funny, but the truth is its sad that Star Wars is going in that direction. My favourite movies, stories, games of my childhood are all star wars and this pitiful company makes a toy for 6 years old children of it

I find it humorous that you, in the same sentence, laud the stories of your childhood, but refuse to accept that another generation of children might want the same.

I cannot convince you of your own personal tastes/feelings/thoughts/ect.....

Fail thread.

This is nowhere close from an Ogrim original design from morrowind that was much more looking like the rock giant from "a neverending story" than a generic / troll / ogre's body and face from a very bad lotr spin off.

 

Not close by any stretch of the imagination.

 

it's not that far off

Nice understatement. :)

I would say "almost frigging identical."

 

 

Let's begin by its face shall we ? The original had more a toad face on the lower part, it had "double" pectorals because, wel, he was much more "fatter" didn't have "spikes" coming from everywhere on it's body, and not wearing that ogrish style leather thing, the "new" ogrim also has no ring on his nipple but it's a silly detail.

This "new" version is much more close to a fan serviced ogrim to look more like an half assed lotr ogre than an actual ogrim.

And i stay with that statement.

Don't forget that the horns are pointed the wrong direction, too. /rage

Yes it's one of those posts. What games are you following and why? I'm a Consequence, Sanbox, PVP, decor, player economy fan, so by default my interestes are very limited at this point in time.

I haunt GW2 still. I say haunt because I rarely post about it anywhere and I play at a very casual pace. I don't love it, nor hate it, it gets me a bit of a MMO fix from time to time.

I've been following TESO forever. I started out extremely excited but it seems to have taken the SWTOR route. I am worried but still hopeful that it will be a fun MMO. At the moment I just don't see enough consequence for it to be more than a casual game for me. I'm sure I'll log int to get a PVP fix, I assume it will be a more meaningful experience than the GW2 pvp stuff.

EQ Next intrigues me. It pains me to give SOE money again after so many bad MMO experiences with them. The mysteriousness of EQ Next has sucked me in but by now I am annoyed that so little info has been put out, typical SOE stuff I suppose.

Of all the games I'm following CU the closest. It plans to have housing, decor, armor dyes, and a player economy all in the middle of a pvp focus. Those are my favorite MMO ingredients (I was a decorator in SWG for a time-only by night naturally, warrior by day).

I was following DF 2.0. 1.0 was fun but from the mass amount of rage posts I am thinking 2.0 is a pass. Too bad. 1.0 was the first game to make me feel true adrenaline and tension in ages.

I also keep an eye on the Repopulation from time to time. It has promise but something just doesn't click with me.

Assassin's Creed 4 and Batman: Arkham Origins

As for MMOs: none at the moment

Age of Conan -( my 1st ) I knew in 5 lvls , loved it and played for 4 years every day

Aion -( loved it after 10 lvls then I got to lvl 25 ganksville and dropped it.

WoW -uninstalled right away, didn't like the graphics ( to cartoony after playing Conan)

LoTR -same as WoW

Star Trek Online -grew on me after 20 lvls and rolled 3 toons to max and then quit ( will go back to play Romulan)

Neverwinter Beta -knew right away I did't like the graphics and it felt dated

SWTOR  -after 20 lvls I just couldnt get into it

GW2 -I liked it right away, felt fresh, artistic, and fun. ( Still playing )

Defiance Beta -I knew right away. I play allot of pro shooters and it felt sloppy with bad ai and ui

TSW - I played for a week and was just not into it 

Rift - tried to like it over and over but didn't jive

EVE -after about an hour uninstalled

Planetside 2 - I liked it right away but soon got bored

 

**I think its a matter or personal taste and expectations along with how they compare to your first true love.**

 

DISCLAIMER : These are simply my opinions on these games no need to get bent and defend them.

 

I like how you broke that down, so I'm going to try to do the same. /copycat

WoW - Rolled my first charcter up to 10 and hated it. Decided to give it another try a few days later and found my groove, played for 5 years

STO - Was immediatedly hooked in beta, bought LTS and CE. Still playing on and off

Atlantica online - Was kinda wonky at first, but I gave it a shot to see how the mercenary system played out. Really liked that one once I got going.

WAR - Same as WoW but took about 3 character tries to find my groove. Only played the trial, but still considering subbing to see it all.

AoC - Uninstalled after about 15 minutes. Couldn't get into it for some reason.

CoX - see AoC

DCUO - Early impressions didn't look good, but when I got my beta invite, I was immediately hooked. Pre-oreded my CE the next day. Played non-stop for months. Still have a soft spot for this one, even though I rarely login any more.

Sword 2 - Uninstalled after 10 min.....

Gw2 - Played for a week. I see it's potential, but it just didn't hook me.

TOR - Rolled my main up to the end of Hoth and a Sith up to about 20. Loved it, but not enough to justify paying montly for it. Will eventually go back.

LotRO - Played for a couple of months. Liked it, but haven't gone back once my initial buy-in expired. Still think I could sub to it and be happy...

Steampunk looks good.

Nice, thanks for that. They have a cool Dwarven race!

STO, but I've just about completed all of the doffing tiers, so my interest is waning.

Borderlands 2 just got an update and that itch to play is growing again.

1313 was really canceled?

 

just in case this is not an april fools joke, F#%* you Disney!!! They shut down the wrong Star Wars game !!

 

Unbelievable...

Every major gaming news site is reporting it at this point. Pretty sure it is no joke......

From a couple of months ago, there was this thread about the same-ish subject. Thought I'd drop it here for those that would like to see it.

My answer to this thread is the same as to the thread about what got me here: STO.

sorry about that, my eyes are quite bad so I have a habit of enlarging text not necessarily yelling.

Ah, no biggie. Time estimate seems about right to me as well. Although, late 2014 wouldn't suprise me.

MMORPG didn't want to deal with potential of a lawsuit.  They also didn't want to deal with selectivly censoring posts about the game so they took the logical best way out and removed the entire game from the site.  I can't say I would have handled this much different.  MMORPG is under no obligation at all to fight the good fight by keeping that games forum up if they don't want to.  

Oh and BTW.  Freedom of speech is exclusivily about the governments ability to limit what you can and can not say.  It doesn't apply to private companies and private properties at all.  There are other laws that affect that like anti decrimination ones but they are very limited in scope.

Aaaaaaaannnndddd......./thread!

I support the site's decision and have also added Applegate (and the rest of his team by default) to my list of people who's games I will never try.

Don't deal with asshats, simple.
