Star Wars The Old Republic

arent all jedi's supposed to be righteous and stuff, or be consumed by the darkside ?

Pretty much. Luckily the game lets you choose how NPC's perceive you through dialogue choices and actions throughout the game. Was thinking about breaking from the norm and playing a jedi ***.

The darkside options mainly seem to be the concept of for the greater good or kinda a heavy handed justice on the republic side. IE

You can be lightside sith or darkside jedi the choice is urs...

I'm a pretty evil Jugg :D I loves it.

sadly this is how I'm feeling so far =/ only thing keeping me is the story/every quest npc has built in dialogue but even then I can't stand listening to myself when I'm Jedi it's like everything that comes out of my own mouth is from MR.obvious.

Needless to say I'm Sith doing w/e I want and its a little enjoyable. the "WoW" modle for MMO's will be a dying bread soon mark my words, it's just not at all interactive, I can click mobs and hit 2 or 2 then 3 over and over and turn my head from the screen and do something else till I hear mobs die =/ /yay

Wat

I haven't really followed this game much, but these are somewhat low-end settings, right?

Yeah, this big laptop was great, 4-5 years ago lol, starting to show its age with modern games. Upgrading to better soon.

graphics don't get much better honestly I think EQ 2 probably has better. I can run it on max and everything and it looks meh.

Unfortunately it looks nearly the same on maximum settings too.

Nearly certain that the FX effects like Bloom have 0 effect btw.

I believe it =/ regretting buying this game. Really wanted it to be fun/enjoyable but everything is sub-par.

*edit* only thing that's not bad is the questing and npc interaction but that's like 10-25% of the game =/

Yeah I kinda expected more out of Bioware tbh. Even Mass Effect Uno looks more advanced than this. :\

They've been dropping the ball lately. Really hoping they don't do it again for Mass Effect 3...

All the MMO's late I've played have been released to early and unfinished. Tera is the only one so far that seems fully finished and I went through a beta for it and it was more finished than any MMO "released" I've played yet lol.

RIFT was easily the most polished MMO I've played at launch.

Never got into Rift but it seemed interesting as far as the talent tree went.

Im enjoying eve online atm. got a bunch of 21 day trials and even a 60 day trial to toss to someone lol.

Might be interested in trying it out, what's it entail?

World of Warcraft reskin with improved graphics, unexciting animations, brain numbing grind, active events called rifts which are useless to do at 50, and a advanced talent tree which does nothing good rather to atract gear lootwhores more than usual.

Was referring to EVE not RIFT, I've got two raiding characters in RIFT, it is quite a lot better than you're giving it credit for, and the only MMO that's been remotely close to being capable of competing with WoW since WoW was released in terms of overall diversity in content and possible demographic.

Info on content update next month

i'm more interested in bug fixes than content atm >=|

i can barely play on the large planets because they lag me so bad, and i have reccomended sys requirements

Antialiasing option would be nice too. A game released in 2012 should have a decent amount of graphical options available to make the game not look like Runescape.

Does SWTOR have any trials available right now?

30day when you buy it.

no I wish would of done that and not wasted $60



Yeah I was expecting better graphics than SWTOR gave out. I mean its 2011/2012 get with the program even WoW has updated graphics.

Its basically a space game where you fly around in ships going "pew pew".

Official Website

People who have accounts can give people a 21 day trial and until the 24th everyone has 1 60 day trial to give out. If you or someone tries a 14 day or something and want a longer trial after you figure out controls and stuff then let me know in a PM in ffxiah. The learning curve is steep so I dont expect many people to keep at it. Which is good since it means less idiots on eve lol.

(was one guy who was complaining about the camera for the mouse wheel zooming in/out the wrong way and so said he would take his money elsewhere... lulz)

You can get a free 14 trial anytime you want as long as you sign up with a different email address. There are websites online that have tonnes of information on it. What I can tell you is that its about 9 years old and just got a new expansion just recently. Im having a ball.

Yet to get attacked by pirates but I dont negotiate with terrorists!

Just thought i would put this here,
I find it rather amusing to make Darth Baras mad as often as i get the chance.

just thought i would share this on here, just in case anyone still cares.
The game is definitely shaping up, just wish i had more time to play it.
