You've got to be kidding me? 91 minutes? Wow! Gonna get some popcorn...

archemides5184728d ago

yeah that is a lot of minutes

Wow that put me to sleep. Not much of an MMO guy unless it's Vindictus which is PURE ACTION.

I don't see Sw:TOR doing too well. That endless quest of killing the same two enemy types was boring.

Lyr1c4728d ago

Vindictus is worse than WoW.

All Vindictus consists of, is playing the same instances over and over and over again.

A game based purely around instances will never feel like a proper MMO.

Yep certainly what im expecting. It's got all the Traditional MMO features. Just imagine how populated the starting area will be at launch rather than some closed beta.

I'm looking forward to this, we need a new AAA mmorg cause there has not been one since the launch of Aion. And that grind fest of a game failed. Rift certainly aint no AAA just some rip off of all the MMO's before it.

This game, Guild Wars 2, Battlefield 3 and Diablo 3 is all i need for my PC through to 2012, 2013 and beyond!

Already saw it, and honestly, it looks pretty...mediocre.

Not to mention the writing goes full retard on certain times, like "OH I'M A JEDI BUT I'LL LET THESE GUYS STAB ME LOL", among other idiotic responses that the game presents.

It's not like I play MMOs, anyways, so whatever.

Seems to be just WoW but with star wars. I guess that's what people want. :(

Spinal4728d ago

Damn Right thats what I want!

This game, Guild Wars 2 and Diablo 3.

keltickennedy4728d ago

Holy shit!! David Hayter (Solid Snake/ Big Boss) is one of the character voice actors in this game! Listen to the voice of the jedi knight playing.

Game instantly resonates better with me due to this.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Still Receiving Updates 11 Years Into Release

A new update for Star Wars: The Old Republic is coming out on PC and the patch notes provide us with an in-depth look at all the new changes.

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.

TheColbertinator391d ago

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

Andrew336391d ago

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

PapaBop391d 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.
