Star Wars: The Old Republic

Anyone on the SeC pick this up? I'm really digging it so far. Very smooth gameplay, and the full voice acting makes the game that much more awesome. I was also surprised at how good it looks (for an MMO.) Just stepped into Dromund Kaas for the first time with my Bounty Hunter and had to take a screenshot.



Edit: derp

No and I most likely never will. $15 a month is too rich for my blood.

i might but can't keep up the sub so i'm going to get into GW2

I've noticed the SeC has an aversion to subscription fees that aren't LIVE, hmm.


Oh well. *shrug*

I despise live too. Only reason I have it is because I bought a year for $35.

MMO can get expensive very quickly

Oh stop $15 is not expensive, unless you don't have a job. I really dread MMO's after being such an advid MMO player for years i just kinda look at it and think of all the work you need to get done. Though i did just order white knight chornicles 2 to play with my buddy possibly so will see how that goes.

Did this just come out, I've heard a lot of people talk about it? Of course the words "wow killer" came up, as it always does.

Yeah, it came out a couple days ago. Honestly, if you ask me, WoW is killing itself lately and I'm glad I jumped ship from that game a while ago. SWTOR has a lot of "WoW style" mechanics, which is to say good mechanics, topped off with that unmistakeable BioWare flair. The full voice acting and dialogue options make the game feel like a true RPG, not just a boring grindfest. I haven't gotten into much group content yet and haven't even touched the instances, but my friends say they're pretty challenging.

(Please read the following in obviously fake Russian accent). The Old Republic. I has it.

I was really contemplating getting it, but the $180 a year to play (basic math yo) combined with the general inefficiency of my PC in a gaming sense, and my interest wanes quite quickly. It looks fabulous, but I doubt I could put out that amount of interest.

Wish I had a sweet gaming PC.

As for the fees. I hate Live too, but would anyone disagree that Live is better than PSN? Also, you do have to consider that $15 a month ON TOP of the game & console used to play it.

Still, if I had a PC I would be all over this one.

I'd LIKE to play it, but I don't have a machine that's capable and I don't want to play another MMO. I'm one of the people that has a problem with using all my free time for it when I should be doing something else.

I would roll Trooper for sure though...

Ehat and I are both getting it for Christmas. I can't wait. We've been waiting for this game since they first announced it, haha!

I wish I could get it. I used to play Star Wars Galaxies, but eventually stopped myself cuz I got too into it. I don't trust myself with MMO's

Yup, I gots it. Playing a Sith Inquisitor and being evil (being my favorite type of evil, I suck up to people I should suck up to, and unless I can get something out of someone lower than me I will stomp their faces in, or if I already gotten everything out of them... stomp their faces in.)

Right now I'm sending my companion on slicing missions over my Remote Desktop here at work. Laggy but it works.

The game has awesome dialogue and options, WoW you get tired of reading quest text (even though some of them can actually be really funny and reference things). I don't skip any dialogue in this, I love taking a part in it.

I'm really considering getting this, I just don't know if it's a good idea if I intend on graduating haha
