SW: The Old Republic, Will you Buy it?

[endtherapture]

No.

I'm not paying monthly to get the story I should have got in KoTOR3.

Entitlement, woo!!

It's not entitlement.

Imagine if the Half Life story suddenly got continued in a MMO - the only way you'd be able to find out is to pay monthly, and grind to find out what happens next. There would be an outrage!!

I don't like MMOs and I don't want to pay a monthly subscription fee to pour hours into a game I probably don't have enough time for, to continue the story of a single player game that ended on a cliff hanger several years ago.

Wow, I'm quite surprised at the number of negative responses, I'd have thought more people would get on the whole "wowkiller/starwars" bandwagon.... or you know, play it because it's good or something

As far as I could tell, the story isn't a continuation of KoTOR, it's just set roughly in the same period (and that's not saying much considering the timescale it's working with...)

Yes, I have it pre-ordered and can't wait. I've been feeling pretty burnt out on WoW recently, but I still enjoy the core gameplay. From what I've seen, TOR's gameplay is pretty much the same as WoW's, but the rest of the game looks much more interesting. Plus, my WoW subscription expires a few days after TOR releases, so I won't be paying two subscriptions. I think the only thing I'll miss about WoW is my guild, and, unfortunately, that's not enough to keep me playing.

 

[Avalanche91]

MMO's aren't my cup of tea
Star Wars isn't my cup of tea

So from where I'm sitting, this game is completly uninteresting. I also can't believe people somehow want móre star wars, but that might be just me.

 

[chstens]

I already paid for the collectors edition, and I am enjoying the beta something fierce.

 

[ANImaniac89]

No, I believe the age of pay for play MMO's is over.
plus I don't want EA's Orwellian delivery system on my computer.

Also Star Wars is dead. The Old Republic is fans are just humping to corpse.

 

[Michael Hirst]

Nope. MMO gmaeplay just bores me now and the constant monthly fees make it too much on an investment when there's plenty of other GREAT games that I only have to pay for once.

 

[Marcus Kehoe]

Yes, Even got the collectors edition day one. I have never been more excited for a game since Metal gear solid 3.

 

[commodore96]

Ill probably get it during the summer when I know that it wasn't a flop, and I have free time during weeknights.

 

[Plazmatic]

SW: The Old Republic? not a chance, no way jose, that games takes starwars lore and takes a huge dump on it and laffs.

and you think your fan fiction is any better?

 

[Broken Blade]

No, I will not. Being a filthy and low Mac user who does not yet know how to partition off an area of his computer and load some version of Windows OS means that I will be unable to play TOR. Which is actually kind of a bummer, because I got invited to a weekend beta and was going to use that to see if I wanted to try it for a month. Guess not.

 

[Hoplon]

It's basically WoW with a Star Wars skin and voice-over, and I am so done with MMO's of that kind. Eagerly awaiting Guild Wars 2 though.

If your expecting something radically different from GW2... oh dear. Certainly the Eurogamer Expo demo that was playable wasn't that special or different.

To the people bitching about SW:tOR needing Origin... only if you buy it from Origin...

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Oh? It's an MMO? I refuse to pay to play a game, after I already paid full price to buy it, pay more internet, and barely have any time to play.

Anyway, before I even knew that I wasn't going to buy it because it is a BioWare game, and after Dragon Age and trying to play Mass Effect, their games are way too bland and boring to even try and get into.

I know exactly how you're feeling, I'm in the same place right now ('except my guild just disbanded, from being 2nd 25 raiding guild on the realm... but oh well). I am interested in the Pandaria expansion, so I'm not giving up on WoW yet

And not even then. Even if you bought it through Origin (like I did) you don't need the program installed on your computer to download and play TOR.

I dare you to prove that GW2 will be really similar to WoW. Otherwise don't attack people for being excited for a certain game.
