Star Wars The Old Republic
« on: November 23, 2011, 06:11:09 PM »
I'm wondering if I should invest in a collectors edition for this game? There is a lot of hype about it right now but I just want to make sure I don't buy a golden turd.

I really really want to like this game. The videos online and on the website arent exciting me though. I'd go for the collectors edition if it had more zing to it

With the quality of the past Star Wars games, i think im going to pass on this one.


I really wish Lucas would give the go-ahead for Star Wars:Battlefront 3. But for some dumb reason he canceled it back in 09. :rolleyes:

Still play battlefront 2, great game.

Also like replaying Empire at war:forces of corruption. Jumping into a rebel stronghold with the Death star, Vader's Executor, Thrawn, Piett and a swarm of Tie defenders - good times

Why they have not done x vs tie with modern graphics and at least 64 v 64 multiplayer is completely baffling to me.

LucasArts are hiring programmers and artists with experience in working on space flight sims for an upcoming flight sim.

Well if Ack-Ack endorses it then it must be good.  ;)  :aok

Normally when I get these games I go all out and get the big collectors items but at $150 that's a helluva chuck of change for me so it better be worth it.

I guess the next question is will we create an AH clan/guild/squadron/whatever over there?

It's probably going to turn into another Secret Weapons Over Normandy. Or the MAJOR disappointment of X-wing: Alliance.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I got 2 Beta codes for it (expired now) but never even signed up for the thing. I don't even have an account on the site for the game. Is it a "Everyone gets a code" thing or an error they're having?

I played the open weekend beta  a cpl weeks ago and thought the game  was fun. The story lines  we fun for the class I played. It is an mmo tho so your  gonna sink a lot of time into it to get anywhere.  Think Kotor online. Not a  very sandbox game but I suppose they dumbed it down some  to make it accesible  to  more people. If you're not sure of playing it  wait a little while for  a trial to be offered. If you rregistered on the website before nov get in this weekends beta. Only thing I really want them to add is  a bounty hunting system like  star Wars Galaxies had.
