I don't care tbh, if he's making money then more power to him, I just choose not to watch his films and besides most the movies these days are complete crap and what do you expect from a game movie anyways? They havn't got the best of stories or characters from the start and well unrealistic.

I reckon it'll be a disappointment like Warhammer to everyone that are expecting something new or fun.

I hope Relic are helping Vigil seeing as they both are under THQ.

I'll wait for a trial like all mmo's.

It's ok nothing amazing like everyone claims it is now, I remember playing it back then and thniking Half-Life is much better. Only reason people are suddenly bigging it up now is cause they think it's uber and hardcore of them to like a a older game of what Bioshock copied. Noone even talked about it before Bioshock and now all of a sudden thanx to that and yahtzee theres some massive craze.

It's not a bad game for sure but like it's not like the best thing since what what in my butt.

I'd say it's definitly not worth it when you consider the alternatives.

The world wouldn't go round if it wasn't for PC's but if there wasn't a 360 noone would even care.

Wait for free trial or get a buddy key.

WAR is linear? maybe by some definitions. WAR is actually fairly non linear. You wanna do DE/HE? Do it, you wanna be a DE in Greenskin area's you can do that. You want to explore? Welcome to Plunger country. You want to PvE? They have that too. You want to PvP in open world? Its there. You want to open world pvp? Hey would you look at that! Its an option as well. You have the option of going through 3 different warzones. You can mix and match those by doing different tiers on each of the 3 fronts. There is no set for any one character to take to get to the end game though there is suggested paths.

It is easy to just say well you go through 4 tiers to raid cities and it is a straight path! That ignores all the options you have in the game though. Bottom line is that there is an objective and because of that there has to be a line to get there. However, WAR has many different lines you can take to get there. The only games that are truly non-linear are games with no goals.

The character progression is very linear and that's what most people refer to when they say a mmorpg is linear.... all level based mmorpgs are.

Well EQ2 and Vanguards graphics are crap too.

Noone can deny SWG is a subpar game and I think the history of the game and how bad it's doing in terms of subscribers, specially seeing as how it's the Star Wars name and still fails to get a mass audience at the time of the new movies specially but numbers have obviously declined since then. The mediocre reviews at launch and then the even worse reviews of the NGE and all the content SOE seems to be adding in has been in the game before which they took out or just really really bad in terms of quality compared to other mmorpgs like WOW.

The one thing SWG had going for it at launch though was potential but that's all gone now and it's far too late for SWG to make a comeback now, specially seeing the incompetence of LA and SOE. They'll be nursing the game now until the next Star Wars mmorpg and then hopefully SWG will then be the first mmorpg SOE has ever closed the doors to.

I've given up with fanbois now because they are clearly mind warped or something, I don't see how they can play crap buggy games and pay for it month after month even after beeing screwed over sooo many times by LA and SOE. Don't get me wrong SWG has never been a good game, always a underachiever with lots of potential it never delivered on.

 

While I agree the game is garbage and has been for quite some time I disagree that it never delivered. I had more fun in the first 6-8 months after launch than I have in any other MMO and I have played nearly all of them. It was a shining example of what a virtual world should be at least until they decided that casual solo play was better than community effort.

 

 

I liked pre cu but it didn't deliver as a Star Wars game and wasn't what fans wanted.

bashing a game that still gets updates ^^ dont worry it will die one day, but not now or soon, live with it and play the games u enjoy atm

ow and i dont play SWG, yes i dont know how bad they it messed it up, i agree that NGE was total crap etc etc

but when a game that i played gets screwed up very very bad by the devs i cancel my sub and move on to more fun games, end of story.. and atleast i dont waste days posting in some forum about a game i hate

pre-CU/NGE fanboys are worse then DarkFall fans... ow yea flame on ... >_<

Noone will leave SWG alone until it shuts down, even if they roll back to pre cu people wont be happy because we all have different ideas of the perfect SWG game.

People play the game? I thought they just logged on to train skills.

Never gave misinformation, you are the guys who are doing just that. WAR will focus on PVP and the PVE will be second rate like it was with DAOC so there is PVE in the game but other mmorpgs will be doing it much better.

We all know the game will be a rushed buggy mess and will end up disappointing everyone and join the rest of the pile of games like EQ2 and Vanguard and DnL etc etc.

I'm going to say yes seeing as this game is made for PVP, there will be better PVE mmorpgs out there.

The problem I have with SWG is all the dungeons and instances all look the same with the same textures and the same npc models just in different clothes. Everything feels sooo pre generated and just it's all boring and empyty. Playing WOW when I did really opened my eyes to how amazing content can be and how highly detailed and hand crafted it can be.

Problem with SWG though is the horrible engine it's based on.
