Only 8 Gigabytes? That is insanely low compared to what I was prepared for. Even with high compression the voice work was expected to be in the gigs on its own.
Must be the testing part only. |

Same ole theme park mechanics with a star wars name and look. Space combat is on rails from my understanding. Kudos if thats your thing, but dont expect new, unique or innovation. Voice acting doesnt count either. For some reason thats the first thing people mention. |

Implying a fully voice acted, story driven, dating sim MMO isn't revolutionary.

Lol who said anything about wow? Why is that the default defensive argument in an MMO debate?
if (person 1 states do not like MMO x);
then (insert WOW derogatory rebuttal);
else if (move to next statement)
Insert a loop as needed.
Could be better but not different..
I dont mind what people play but for some reason people are totting this as the next revolution in MMO's. And well it's not. Voice acting is in other games... Instanced story lines are in other games. The mechanics are the same ole tank healer Dps.
I'm not saying it's going to be bad, but just because it has the words star and wars in it doesn't mean it's going to be great either. Could be that im tired of "classic" sci fi, fantasy MMO genre as well.

I know right, but why stop there! Add them as a fifth race to EVE. I bet that would attract millions of players from WoW and possibly even SWTOR, if CCP chooses the design I have here. This new panda race would fit EVE or any scifi game like a glove.This would be a fitting model for their ships and as a bonus it looks like it could have been made by the CCP guy who designed the new scorpion, so it is a totally realistic option. Naturally they would have to have their own CQ and units for DUST.
Looks totally awesome right? |

I'm glad someone shows interest in my thread, and please go ahead and debate all you want.
As for me, I grew up with Star Wars and like all the movies, and I had the old republic games on xbox.
I can already say that I will probably subscribe to SWTOR, and my plan is to post something more about the game here later.

I started the download for the beta, but I didn't have enough room on my SSD so I'm using this as an excuse to go buy myself another 120GB SSD either Friday or Monday. Yes I have a second large HD that is 7200rpm, but damnit I want to run all my games from SSD, I can't go back!

I started to play WoW recently and I must say WoW graphics and animations are 10 times better than SWTOR.
And yes it looks a bit like a downgraded version of WoW, i just hope for SWTOR community , it will have less assholes than WoW.
Replace lightsaber with 1 HS and xenomorph with spiders and you re back in kalimdor
Its not a sandbox , but more a themepark kind of . I doubt CCP wont have to worry too much about this one .... |

I am the only to be really disappointed with the graphics?
I had every graphical setting maxed out and it just felt chunky.
I played lotro from beta and to be honest it is miles ahead visually of SWTOR.
Also for all the people who have had a go at CCP and their character customization.. well Eve is just miles ahead of SWTOR. I could not believe how poor it was.
Have to say I am overall very disappointed with SWTOR |

Because 90% of the MMO's on the market are WoW, just with different skins and a new way to run dungeons easier. |

Although I find the graphics and character customization lacking in TOR, the above statement is kind of cruel. No game comes close to EVE's character customization, no matter how much we whine about how it was a waste of time. |

I'm back after the Beta Weekend Test of SWTOR, a bit tired and sore but in a good way.
Was gonna try write some kind of long review but instead I bring alot of screenshots that say more than a thousand words.
Besides there are alot of reviews already out there.
Tobias Sjodin wrote:WOW in space. No thank you.
I have to agree that a few parts of the UI and some of the game mechanics reminds of Wow but that's a good thing, SWTOR have some of the good stuff that Wow have and then some.
Prince Kobol wrote:I am the only to be really disappointed with the graphics?
The graphics could be better and is gonna be alot better at release apparently, the beta version doesn't have any anti aliasing enabled etc.
So here is a bunch of links to screenshots, hope you enjoy.
ImageShack Album: SWTOR Beta Weekend Test Images: 100
All images are altered to some extent, and the graphics is not as good as it will be at release.

It seems that you might not be in denial about this game not being as great as you had hoped. And attempting to convince the rest of us it is good, and not the same ole same ole that has been thrown at us for the last 6 years.
I dont think it's a bad game (hasn't been released so can't fully judge), but there's revolutionary about it, or even all that evolutionary about it. This style of 3 person button mash, grind, 0 skill has lost the allure for me, and many others.
For me that means I've already played it/done it. So that makes it a not great game. |

The truth is that I didn't think I'd be surprised, but were and had a few of those "whoa!" moments.
I'm not trying to convince anyone really I just wanted to share my experience with you guys, with a crapton of screenshots.

KOTOR 1 Is still a pretty game... though getting it to run well on a modern PC is anything but easy... |
