Not a fan of the autplaying video everytime you click on the post. Otherwise it doesn't seem as interesting as King of Kong, which is the best gaming documentary out there.
Also, someone tell G4 to bring back Icons. That show was great even if only 5 people watched it.
Final fantasy 11 for the 360 can also be played if you only have a silver account,so perhaps if this game would take up all your online game time,a similar deal can be made
Standing still and taking turns hitting each other: NOW WITH MORE ANIMATION!!!
Another MMO with fake combat. Great :/
Is it too much to ask for a game where fighting actually involves even the remotest sense of positioning? where using the environment is a tactic rather than an exploit? I'm guessing it is :p
Agreed on keeping my optimism for this MMO in check. However, if 15 bucks for a month of gameplay is "raping" your wallet then your wallet needs to be less of a prude.
Considering games with more enjoyable content cost just $60 with no hidden fees, charging $50 as an intro fee, then 15/month just to play it to the same degree a single-player RPG would be played is rape.
I'm about as interested in this as I was in DrageAge, or whatever the hell the last Bioware game to come out was. If it's not an epic tale of war and heroism, I don't really care. As much as I know that Bioware can make almost anything good, I don't see a good MMO coming from them.
I will remain stubbornly disinterested until The Old Republic proves itself better than all of those other MMOs that have wooed me in the past with sweet talk and fancy trailers.
Quoted for mother fucking truth.
And even if it proves itself better, I'll still be disinterested until a single-player variant with absolutely zero wallet rape comes out.
@CrypticMetaphor: WAAAaaa! I'm gonna cry about it like a whiny bitch! lol, jk man, jk. seriously, man up. It's probably gonna be a ton of fun. it seems very soloable in terms of gameplay, what with companions acting as a team with you when real people are unable to join you, a la henchmen in Guild Wars. You will have a real story to follow and play, which also adds to your experience. the only difference here for you between this and KotOR is the battle mechanic and the graphics. Same world, same story epicness, and same developer, which means same fun.
@excaleranth: Except now there will be OTHER PEOPLE, and people will always screw things up.
You won't be anything special in this game; you won't be the lost exiled Jedi, or that one soldier who's strong in the force. No...now you're just some schmuck with a lightsaber, no different than the hundreds of other people around you.

e.g. Mul-tye-player
It's Mul-tee-player.
And lets not forget the worst offender: Basil.
BAH-ZIL not BAY-ZUL >_>
Again don't mind me, I'm just ranting.

It was later renamed 'GameMakers,' but yeah, I fucking loved that show. I learned so much about the game industry from it...

Some nice animation, and it looks MUCH better in motion.
Definitely more interested.

*canned animation - numerical damage dealt*
*canned animation - numerical damage dealt*
*canned animation - numerical damage dealt*
*canned animation - numerical damage dealt*
*canned animation - character entity wins*
Wow, epic. Tolerable in KoTOR because of it's excellent story. In an open world MMOG? Doubt it.
12/12/08
Why even make a comment.
Go troll elsewhere.
12/12/08
They've been very clear about that.
Oh wait! You're just typing random shit because you're a big man! Sorry, don't let me get in your way.

SFII: *canned animation - numerical damage dealt*
HALO: *canned animation - numerical damage dealt*
Uncharted: *canned animation - numerical damage dealt*
Brawl: *canned animation - numerical damage dealt*
You aren't going to get away from animation and numerical damage in games featuring combat outside of maybe Bushido Blade.

I doubt EA will have any effect on this game outside of marketing, distribution, and technical help.
This was in production much longer than when EA bought BioWare (and was one of the key incentives as to buying them according to EA).
And if Lucas Arts allows BioWare their freedom, like they did with KOTOR ... it should be pretty good.

@MjrShake: For now I, like you, remain cautiously optimistic
12/12/08
Sorry pal, Star Wars Galaxies accomplished that years ago, before Sony Online Entertainment ruined it.
Either way, I would of preferred a single player KOTOR III with possible some MMO multiplayer as a second thought, or not at all.

I wouldn't mind Firefly either, but sadly only 20,000 people would play it, just like only 20,000 people watched the show.

I'm tired of mmo..I'd like another kotor rpg.
12/12/08
or $10 a month.
the most i'd be willing to pay is $5.
free would be ideal though. let them charge for clothes or char customization; i don't care about any of that anyway.
12/12/08
It's EA. They'll charge for POWERS.
