Lol @ "casual observation of early play"

this is laughable.

You mean you released a game in effectively beta status with poor performance and lacking high-end visual options, asked people to pay full retail price AND a subscription fee, and for some reason not everyone is trampling over eachother for the opportunity to play it?

Well I, for one, am shocked. :p

Anyway, give it time, WoW didn't have 10 million subscribers by the end of its first year, let alone its first month. I hear the game is excellent too, barring the technical niggles, and the only real competition to WoW in years.

TBH i'm not impressed with the game. Not sure how many people are going to pay a monthly fee. Not me that's for sure!

The voice acting is the only real innovation. It's not really an innovation, it's just that no other publisher spent millions to get some people to read every word of the script.

Every star wars game is of major concern. The series is dying.

I loved this game and have played since launch but don't let this article fool you, this game is a step above life support. While they are still technically updating the game, the updates are few and far between and there is a significant lack of quality control, so many little bugs that have been present for years.

TheColbertinator386d ago

The updates felt flimsy to me also. Stopped playing in 2021.

Andrew336387d ago

This game got a huge update last year didn't it with more content?

PapaBop387d ago

They promoted it as an expansion yet offered like 3-4 hours of content. The game is amazing and easily one of the best Star Wars games ever made but content drops are so few and far between.
