No KOTOR 3?!?!?
RNATB smash!
You are complaining about interacting with nerds. On a message board. Filled with nerds.
BioWare has a pretty good track record when it comes to story quality, so I’m glad that they seem to be placing emphasis on their strong suit. I don’t know how they’re going to achieve it, but I’ll follow pre-release info with interest. And hey, at least this time the M. Night Shyamalan of the gaming industry (what a twist!) can’t put in one of their blatantly obvious betrayl/reveal moments.
Maybe.
There have been rumors about this for a while. Put me down in the “not happy” category.
What I enjoyed about the original KOTOR games is that I could play them like I read a book. Put in a hour or two gameplay. Put it down to do something else, or go spend time with my friends. When I came back, an hour later, or a month later, there it was, still waiting for me, just where I left it.
With an MMO, not only do I not have that luxury, I will always be dominated by people with faster computers, and more time to play computer games than I have.
Besides, I payed for the regular game once. If I didn't play it for a month, I wasn't losing any money. With an MMO there is a monthly fee. If the weather is nice so if I spend the month pursuing outdoor hobbies, that's either a month I pay for nothing, or have to remember to cancel.
So having followed the KOTOR franchise for two chapters, I will never get the third. I guess I will have to devote that time to fencing or something ;)When I played SWG, we rallied sooooooooo hard for a no Jedi server, since their presence, and the wannabes grinding professions to get the Jedi character unlocked, essentially ruined the game for everyone else.
Sadly, SOE said that wasn’t going to happen, even though I guarantee Jedi hate was so high the server would have been swamped immediately, because the class system and crafting systems in that game were truly unique and wonderful(before the NGE).
I disagree that Jedi ruined SWG. IMO, three things seriously damaged the game:
[ol]
[li]NGE - This caused a vast number of veterans due to losing so much of what they had worked so long for. The game was essentially dumbed down and the combat wasn’t fun any longer.[/li][li]Jedi permadeath - this should have stayed in the game. It would have made the Jedi rare and/or hidden for those that preferred it that way, and it would have given an outlet for the “Jedi hate” you mentioned.[/li][li]WoW - Blizzard’s game was really beginning to gather steam around the time of the NGE, so it was easy to leave SWG and their subscriptions plummeted[/li][/ol]
He is just upset that the Alpha Beta’s lost the Greek Games again, while we still have time to do this and play video games.
