I just saw a TV commercial for SWTOR. The one thing I noticed is that there was no in-game footage in the ad. It was all 3D rendered trailer material. Very deceiving. |

You mean like this one here. Fancy tricking us into believing that was real gameplay.
Sorry I couldn't resist. Just take them for what they are, a bit of eyecandy. Personally I've always enjoyed game trailers, it's a craft in itself. Nex (Cash Shop)-á/ Aurum - removing sand from the sandbox since Incarna. Currently the only use for aurum is to buy virtual items in the in-game store, but Cockerill expects to expand its uses in the future. |

I noticed that ad.
There are many parts of the game that look good. Yet overall it just looks so bad that it makes bioware look like they cheaped out. Despite TOR being one of the most expensive games in history to make.
Delayed to hell and back and then this. Something went badly wrong in development in my opinion.
And EVE was never really threatened by TOR in the first place. STO going FTP is a far bigger competitor.
I hate to say it but the best part of TOR is actually the space combat. It is on rails but I find it very fun to play. I am getting good at laying waste to the frigs and once I get proton torpedoes I am sure ill be able to actually destroy them. Fun! They should have done 5x the amount of content on that! |

I bet if EA had not gobbled up BioWare it would have turned out far better than it did. |

SWTOR is a clunky game with a ****** engine and mediocre combat mechanics.
The content is fantastic though, especially once you get off of the first couple planets.
I'd rate it a B-. It doesn't come close to replacing EVE for me, but it's a welcome distraction. Those who cannot keep up will be left behind, to watch from a distance. And those who stand in our way will not watch at all. |

It's just WoW in space, tbh. It has better mechanics and story-based quests, which is a huge plus, but to me it's just WoW in space. |

SWTOR is a major disappointment. The cinematics portrayed the game as something completely different. Until somebody else comes up with a fantastic sandbox MMO - EvE will be my only. |

Looks like their TV ad is as dissapointing as their game, all it is is a collection of cut scenes from the game pasted together with a voice over and a couple of logos, pretty much like the game is just a collection of wow mechanics pasted together with a starwars skin and some neat cut scenes. |

PCGamer had a live event where you could watch one of their writers playing it for 8+ hours.
Talk about hideous!
Also, its not on STEAM, so buying it requires too much effort.

I stopped looking after they invited me to the beta tests & failed to allow me to download the client, that just confirmed my belief that Bioware couldn't organise the proverbial 'drunken outing in a brewery'! |

I read a while back on some SWTOR page that storyline is one of their main 'pillars'. This leads me to believe that it'll get some star wars geeks for a bit, then fall off as the story gets old. In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has angered numerous people for many different reasons and is widely considered as a 'bad move'. |

I love all the resentment against BioWare for it turning out so bad when it was more likely EA's fault. |

I played the beta for it, it was pretty lame. But then again EVE has spoiled me in the MMO dept. Nothing will ever live up to the greatness of EVE Online. |

Ain't that the truth. Which sucks, because I love the Mass Effect series, and the third is looking like a likely candidate for "Origin" imprisonment. :/ "Shoot at anything that moves. If it doesn't move, shoot it anyway, it might move later."

SW-TOR was a threat to EVE as are all new games.
"I tried it, it Sucked" means you left EVE to try it. Eventually one will come along that grabs you.

Well to be honest I think the EVE trailer is closer to becoming reality than the SWTOR one, even if it could take another 10 years.
SWTOR is and will probably always remain a boring treadmill themepark with cartoony graphics.

You sure about that?
The sales figures seem to disagree with you...
