I predict I will buy it and play it until it is no longer any fun.

I expect it to be fun to play.

Try to catch it in the evening and let it download overnight.  It does not take long.

Outside of referring to the Star Trek TV show from the 90's it is just a marketing ploy.

Well if you cancel the cancel and the mods cancel the thread, you HAVE been censured.

Ahh, scantily clad dark elves and jiggly bits.

About all I remember of this game.  Too distracted by the jiggly bits to take it seriously.

Yep!  And with the high traffic it is going to be difficult to go through the settings and have your answers saved.

I have enjoyed the limited beta testing.  I ound the Empire side not to be quite as fun as I expected.  Dunno if I just cannot identify with the dark side or if it is just not "dark" enough for me.  Some of the "dark side" responses were like why would this character have bothered to do the quest and then respond in that manner?  It did not make sense to me.  So, I could not quite grasp the Empire characters stories.

I liked the smuggler story just found the combat to be cumbersome.

I was not so impressed with the Bounty Hunter sotory but, found it to be the best non-force using combat.

Seemed to have identified more with the Jedi character.  Knowing so much about their background and having been a fan f the Jedi for way longer than the Sith, I found it easier and more believable in their responses to situations.

From what I have seen it usually comes in one of two flavors.  You either spend time on the crafting elemenet and the game play sufferes(SWG) or you spend time on the Game Play and crafting suffers(WOW,LOTRO,etc).  Or you can spend an even time on both and they both suffer (EQII, Vanguard).

Pick yer poison.  Management found out that they make more money off of the hard core raiders and gameplay rather than the crafters.

Exactly!  People who enjoy MMORPG's for the social interaction with other players (like myself) are not really interested in Skyrim not because it doesn't have great game mechanics (it does), but because there's no other people to interact with.

Unfortunately, I'm part of a niche market and the typical MMO player is really looking for a single player game in their MMORPG design, with SWTOR being a good example of this.

MMO's used to be about the story the players created for themselves, (in themepark games as well as sandboxes) and these days its all about the developer created story. (much like any single player rpg)

 

QFT!

I think developers are missing out on the POINT of an MMO.  Not forcing people to be in groups but, making groups the reason to play the game.  All of the insta-group insta-que-to-dungeon type stuff really takes away from getting to know other people and forming groups.  That is how I met most of the people I currently play with!

Ahh, but instant gratification and why should I pay to wait whiners squeek the most and get the grease.  Skyrim needs to add a social hub and you would find the new MMO players gravitating to it like it was the next Dungeon Siege!  Oh wait, isnt that the new Dungeon Siege?

PC because a 27" screen 3 feet from my fce is just as good as a 55" HD.  Seriously, like anyone else needs to watch it besides me.

I am looking forward to playing both sides of the fence actually.  My thought was to take the Sith Juggernaught along a nobel or light path and then an alt that was a Sith Marauder to the more bloodthirsty evil-sonuvabeyotch type.

It may be a type cast sort of thing but, it is what is interesting to me.  It really is the only class I am interested in playing this double edged sword on.  All of the other classes would be the total type cast. 

I tried this on a number of games I had played in the past.  Works for a couple of months until you get to the point where you get to the grind for those upper levels and you start thinking...  meh

I have been bouncing around in the F2P stuff and playing some old single player rpg's.  Picked up Witcher2 tonight which I never played and heard good things about.  Got a freakin collectors edition for $40. hehe, only one they had.  Was looking for Deus Ex but they apparently did a recall on the PC Game and do not have another release date for it.  So.......

isnt the thing about class action lawsuits is the Lawyers advertise for people to join in their suit?  I mean, this is 2011 you could just post it on any website to go and punch em with an arbitration and get the effect over overburdening their system to the point that you could sue.  right?  says someone who only knows enough about law to avoid breaking it.

I think you ae close when you say learning the game.  Everyone likes a new shiney.

The detractor from me on staying in the game is not so much the learning it and I am done.  It is the learning it and going "meh".

There have been games I have learned in no time that I kept playing for years.  And there were ones that were not easy to learn that I got bored with immediately.  It is more about finding that system that appeals to you and you can understand.  IMHO.

It excites me.

Move on nothing to see here.

Ouch thats a bit pricey in this day and age, still they must have high expectations about the game.

 That is about the going price for every game I have seen on the market as of late.

While I agree it is a bit much, it is pretty much the norm if you want it on release day or within the first 4-8 months of release depending upon how good the game is.
