I think using Two Steps From Hell music in trailers just officially jumped the shark...

That didn't really look too good. It looked kinda bad actually.

This. 
 
I hate to say it but the original Kotor seems to be of a higher quality than this current day MMO.... the art style is definitely killing it for me.

 Because Star Wars:KoR is just another wow clone, they hurt the industry and mmo genere as a whole with their senseless attempt to create a cash cow this late in the phenomenon's life-cycle.

Star Wars:  Still boring as fuck.  It makes WoWs Elves and Orcs seem fresh.

WoW is played by the entire population of a medium sized country, which means that people who say they hate WoW on forums are regular subscribers to WoW.


6.75 Billion people on Earth.  11 Million people play Wow.  The numbers check out.  Everyone plays WoW.  Fact.

@snaptroll: I think you missed a lot of what they are doing with the game then because they are 100% on not making it just a kill and quest.
The story is very important and whole thing is supposed to be not a grind and just about everything you do evolves your personal story and so the missions, pvp, quests and dungeons are not like that.
PVP is under the MMO wing of course but they have taken some elements of Battlefront and then you have the on rails space combat as well. (Which I bet when they do expansions if it gets big will likely open that up more)
 
People have griped about the combat and griped about the graphics and both just through videos have alone have got better and the combat looks to have more pace to it. All come as you develop.
People seem to forget Bioware are still labelling stuff as Alpha.

That looks like some bland MMO combat to me.

Wow. That looks like a pile of shit in terms of gameplay. How could people actually want to play this?

Is it just me or does the graphics and animations completely suck? Age of Conan looks a lot better than this and it's several years old now.

@Cook66: Yep, animations are bad.

I've played it, it is another WoW clone but with an annoying combat and animation system. The only thing making this worthwhile are the dialogues in the quests and the multiplayer conversation system.

I think you should reread that comment. More people play WoW than people living in Finland, Norway, and New Zealand. Not combined of course, although they're not far off.

Did he really just pull that random machine part out of the ground at 1:40? Seriously? You're going to display how inflexible your super specific ability animations are in an official fkin trailer? I thought the point of trailers were to show your game's good side


           


I noticed that. Bloody awful isn't it? I love how they try to edit the combat to make it look exciting and dynamic, rather than static and boring as hell. The armour looks dreadful, animation substandard (even for an mmo)... damn it, the list about everything that puts me off this game just keeps getting longer and longer.

Nice to see a forum where people are seeing what I'm seeing, and that ain't something good, rather than blind love. On the ToR official forums its all "zomg awsum"

Ture. Still buying this since Amazon (UK) has the game at reasonable prices it turns out.

I find it funny that everyone is talking shit about this game, but everyone here will either play it or play a trial. I mean EVERYONE. On forums, everyone bitches about WoW being the devil, but WoW is played by the entire population of a medium sized country, which means that people who say they hate WoW on forums are regular subscribers to WoW. The same thing is happening here.

Wrong. It looks like 8 buttholes in a butthole bag. Star Wars games are effin' dead, unless they bring back Tie Fighter or KOTOR.

Shamefull thing to say but, i had a lot of fun with starwars galaxie the first year it was out. If I can play solo (for the most part) and get lost in the fiction, then I will keep playing.
