 Ya know the funny thing is that it seems todes really isn't an idiot, but he is a bit of bit of a cynic, and probably a misanthrope considering his negative opinion was in no way desired here.

And yes, it takes one to know one.

Artist vs Scientist round 2 go!

Romance vs Logic works too ;)

Now i'm just indulging myself. Ignore me.

A Cynic? Yes

A Misanthrope?  Nope...I think Humankind is just dandy as a genral rule, I just don't truck much with the walking wounded.

and so what is so wrong about having memories about a game? perhaps it is you who needs to get over something if you need to go into a forum called veterans refuge and attack vets.

Vets? Did these guys serve in some military? I beta tested  SWG played the game for a couple years and moved on...would that make me a Vet? Guess not I don't hold this obsessive grudge.

Anyway it's ironic that a guy who created a fan site whose entire reason for being is to bash a developer who broke his wookiee is telling me to get over...anything.

Name me a game that can garner that type of emotion and I will listen, otherwise, you are nothing to me.

I think the point here is the abnormality of a game garnering that type of emotion.  And standing in a video game?  This is pretty much why Bioware has basically told you guys not to come anywhere near their game.

Honestly climb down from the cross use the wood to build a bridge and get over it.

Jesus I could do a post graduate study on the melancholy remembrance disorder this group displays on a almost hourly basis.

Well I'm having a blast in PW, I have met a lot of friendly helpful folks, and I find myself playing this more than any other MMos I'm currently paying for.  I think what makes this game stand out from all the others is there is no gear envy, no elitist Asshats kicking you because you don't have X sword or Y Enchants.  A lot of top shelf devlopers could learn a lot from this game.

Yes the OP is full of crap another moron Hardcore gamer that despraty wants something for his dying demographic

I trashed Aion yesterday...not only did I trash it I poured zippo fluid on it, stuck a match and did a vulgar Tribal dance around it's charred carcass.

What can I say, I was expecting....different, some sort of intangible hype I created in my own mind  by watching the videos. I was angry it didn't live up to "my" expectations.  So I uninstalled it, and got nasty on the forums.  Then I calmed down...could it have really sucked that bad?  Did I give it a fair shot?

So I reinstalled the game (thank god I had it pre-down loaded) Started a whole new class( because the male scout is about as masculine as Richard Simmons at a Truman Capote festival) , and started the game on a what’s broken what’s not broken what’s fun and what’s not fun objective.

And I have to say the game is solid, it looks awesome (those of you who are saying it doesn’t look like the movies need to up your video card or boost the graphics settings) The game play, skills and character management is intuitive. The story is actually not the worst I have been part of but the biggest question is it fun? That's a hard question to answer...I think Aion has the potential to be a lot of fun with the right group of people.....but it would have to be the right group. A typical WoW guild would not be the right group of people, a excellent FFXI Linkshell would (and if you don't get the differences between the two you are beyond hope anyway)  Aion could very well be the game dejour have a sizeable loyal following, but I don't think it is going to attract  the non-social player.

So do I like Aion? Yes I give it a solid  Four out of Five stars.

Will I play Aion on Launch? More than likely....I will probably play Champions more as they are releasing at the same time, but that is a personal taste thing. I do think Aion will really strike a cord with Female players my wife and every other Angelic devotees are just enraptured with the game it seems. I think those that are quickly dismissing the game should play around with different classes and approach the game with an open mind it juts might surprise you.
 

After four hours with Aion I have to ask this is it?
Same old Korean Grind Model Check
Same Effeminate looking male toons check
Same stab your eyes out boring no reason to even be there other than kill gameplay. check.

I mean if I want to play a grinder I'll play Perfect World...at least that is well done. 

Epic fail NCsoft Epic Fail,

not sure why SOE did not add player housing to Free Realms, I think that is a mistake. Housing would add a so much more to the Free Realms experience.

Soccer, housing, car garages, mounts, clubs (guilds)
have all been confirmed for future

www.massively.com/2009/04/30/massivelys-post-launch-interview-with-free-realms/

We have a lot of cool features on our list that we want to do, with housing being one of the first things on the list.

 

 

 

 

Yep as well as Surfing, Snowboarding, Skateboarding (They are penning a deal with Wil Waldon ) and epic Campaign modules that you can buy with SC and run with friends. SOE has learned a lot over the past few years, I'm glad to see them finally having a top shelf game.

These SWG vets make the rest of us look bad. For everyone who never played SWG pre-cu, or SWG for that matter, most of us have moved on. It's just a vocal minority of people who should be having fun with their emu, but aren't, who feel the need to troll. Based on what I see If I was a developer I wouldn't want any of these folks playing my game, I'm just sayin.

Bioware dosen't they loathe them and have already been clear that the SWG idiocy will not be tolerated. The ban them as soon as they start spouting off their crap and the vast majority of the TOR forum goers have zero tollerence for them.

They broke their wookiee and pissed in their sandbox...and they will never ever be the same.

Sadly the OP might be right.   What we've seen so far isn't really all that impressive in the way of the game itself.    It seems there will not be much variety in weapons for like the Trooper class - beyond color schemes.   Armor seems a variation of the same.   The fact that there seems to be  no space combat (ship-to-ship) is sad.    I dunno.  I will wait and see what they show us on Wednesday...but to be honest I do not think it will be all that impressive.   God I hope I am wrong.

The only thing that is epic is the premature failgasims by jaded gamers.  Here is a thought; how about forming an opinion after you actually play a game?  Like oh my god what a concept!!!

The shill is strong with this one.

is the game going to have an open world?

is it going to have 32+ professions that you can mix and match?

is it going to have unlockable alpha jedi?

no it isn't it is going to be what the nge is wow in space so lets stop sounding like the $OE fanbois and fanbots and remember that this is being made by ea and lets start demanding our pre-cu system in tor

No but what it is going to do is spit in the face of every Tard that is still crying because Smedly broke his Wookiee and for that I will buy as many copies as possible and urge everyone I know to do the same.

The general rule of MMO playes is if they can use something to get attention and act like asshats they will.. It sucks that devlopers have to playpen folsk like that but thems teh breaks.

Yes it will be no problem just enter the serail code when you get it and you will be all set. I hope you grabbed a collectors ed from Go gamer they were selling them for ten bucks for their 48 hour madness. I grabbed one just because I wanted the sound track.

Wow...just wow..

Shouldn't this drivel be with all the other bitterness at the SWG old folks forum?

Post is spot on, too bad devlopers lack the intestinal fortitude to turn it's Back on teh Jeff Kaplan school of design.

It's my understanding our Japaneese players are beyond pissed about this (Think WoW Asshat Raiders after the death of Raid or Die) Still it is bringing in a lot of new players and making a lot of previouse playes come back.
