    I just finished Force Unleashed this weekend.
    I was...dissapointed.

    Some more on the music behind the game.. Unlike any other game I've played (that wasn't a sequel of some sort), I'm sure lots of the music or themes inside will be instantly familiar; particularly to anyone who grew up with the SW movies..

    Side note, I love all the in game environments I'm seeing in this video.. Even though they took a more "cartoonish" approach to the realism of their models (sort of like WoW, but more polished), their environments still have quite a bit of detail and really evoke the size of the game well..

    That, and.. speeder bikes!

  3. I take it just about everyone who plays online will be trying this game out correct? Expect me to be online for this one. When CDL decides on which server to log in on, I'll be there. This game looks better then anything I've seen before!

    Yeah, I'm cautiously optimistic with TOR. If it dissapoints it may spell the end of online gaming for me.

    Well I can finally use this game as an excuse to upgrade early next year. Time to start saving.

    Not sure how this will play out in pvp, but if they incorporate it along with pve play it will be awesome..

    Appologies as this vid will play along with the one above, so you may have to pause the previous one too..

    It's worth it though this looks brilliant..

    hmm Interesting. :brow:

    From what I read, the gameplay is going to be similar to what you saw in Star Wars: Rogue Squadron (N64 days). Think of it as a mini-game. A departure from your questing/leveling/grinding. There is no talk of them incorporating it into PvP. Though rumors say that Bioware is focused on the core game and that PvP space battles could come out as an expansion (think SW: Galaxies Jump to Lightspeed).
     
  10. Bioware: Please hurry making this game!! I wanna play!!
     
  11. I would prefer they don't hurry and make the game nice and polished.
     
  12. I agree with that as well , so in that case back to the hordie mage I just rolled.

    Looks nice. How do you like the overall feel of it?

    Didnt get to play with it much , was very laggish and even told them that....never got into the crafting area either.

    low lvl seemed wowish , not sure once getting higher if its better or not.

    they are going to do another beta later and been already accepted to it , if i can send out invites , ill let people know.
     
  16. Jealous, but kind of glad. Don't want early beta's ruining my dreams heh.

    It does look pretty badly optimized with lots of graphical and scripting bugs that some MMO makers have and never really figure out how to fix. Similar to what was wrong with Warhammer Online, it never felt smooth which was really suprising since DaoC was one of the smoothest running games. Hopefully there is a big improvement in the next beta.

    The two biggest complaints I had from the SWG was the interplanetary travel and big pockets. As long as they don't hit on those I'll be happy.

    Before the ship expansion, traveling was as bad it is in real-life. Buy a ticket, wait for the shuttle, travel, buy another ticket and hope you don't miss the connecting flight. My hunting grounds were 4 flights and a ten minute speeder ride. I could easily spend an hour just getting somewhere to hunt. I did catch up on my reading while I was waiting on shuttles.

    The big pocket problem was just something that took you out of the moment. It was just silly when you pulled an R4 unit, medical droid, 4 person speeder and your pet Rancor out of your pockets.

    LoL that sounds so much like traveling in the early days of Daoc tusk, riding on horses with premade routes that had tickets, waiting for gothi to port you, or waiting on ships to sail you around in toa.. In a way back then I kind of liked it... made the game feel a bit more epic, but I can see how it would drive alot of people nuts hehe.
     
  19. Guild creation is now open. The FAQ can be found here and creation page here.

    I'm ok with probably playing at least two MMOs but no more than that; at least until I have the money to pay the fees.
     
  20. Anyone else in the beta? I'm not afraid to break NDA here if anyone's got questions.

    Heh, totally missed TB's post that he was in.
