News Comments > Planetary Annihilation's $90 Alpha
31. Re: Planetary Annihilation's $90 Alpha Jun 15, 2013, 02:02 OldTimber
 
Pssst...they don't listen to alpha or beta feedback they, generic case not this specific dev, don't give a crap as they have everything mapped out for a release date. More to the point the marketing department has everything ready and they are the ones pushing it out. Do you think any title released in the past 5-10 years wouldn't have been better at launch without issues if they actually listened to the feedback?

A fool and his money are soon parted... be it 5 cents or 5k to a kickstarter. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to start dropping on projects where people pony up and the devs figure shit this game will be crap and stop development after extracting 10mil or so from some saps based on screen shots or early tech demos. Thanks for paying our salaries as we dragged it out.

News Comments > Activision Blizzard Results, More WoW Subs Lost

They lost a amount of subs any new game would kill to have as their whole playerbase with recuring payments not as some F2P/Cashshop game. Frankly I'd like to see how many subs were reactivated in the period also.

News Comments > EA's Exclusive Star Wars Game Rights

Could be worse it could be raining.....

Look on the bright side now we can get a Sims Star Wars with expansion packs every month for 19.99, or another quality MMO from Bioware set in a different period. My god I just threw up typing that last line.....

Well guess I'm back in my Star Wars hating/not caring period I went through after the whole Vong crap stories they published in the 90's.

Real nice 1-2 punch today, first this announcement which means I won't be playing/bothering with anymore Star Wars games and Adobe taking Photoshop sub only with the next version. call me crazy but I like to buy my software and use whenever I want, if it sits unrun it sits but paying a sub a month and not using it would be crazy. Maybe if I had a dog someone would shoot it also to go for the hat-trick.

going f2p in 3...2...1....
It is F2p with a market. Oh you mean the cheapasses excuse of not paying for anybodies work ie you want the whole thing free. I played alpha for a bit but they never patched much into the market or the ability to use it for the time I played it so can't comment much on it. If it was more of a traditional MMO i'd have been playing it today but how it is i'll wait on it to go on sale.

I think there actually was a new race added in a semi-recent patch.. the Cathar.

I don't see new classes being added, on top of the normal work it takes to add to a standard MMO they'd have do all the voice acting for 5 new companions (x2). That probably doesn't fit in their budget too well. I'm surprised enough there's a new expansion...

Of all the races people wanted they stuck the stupid cat race in nobody wanted.

And so the bashing begins. Why don't you guys go back to playing your Black Ops crap or whatever it is you play these days and let those of us who play swtor, do so without having to put up with your whining.
You must really enjoy the lube EA/Bio shipped in your copy of it then. BOHICA on april 14th then.

And yes I played it and paid for it at launch and sucked it out for a year even after the F2p transition.

Hey it's the 90's all over again..wake me when they actually ship a HMD unit that isn't bigger than a face that can be worn for hours at a time.

Maybe I'll go dig my SpaceOrb out and get ready for that type of controller to make a comeback again.

Just Cause 2 was fun but didn't hold my interest long enough to get anywhere near 100% completion. Until I installed the Superman mod that is. Nothing quite like seeing a jet in the sky, flying up and landing on it, throwing the driver out and abandoning the plane. Why abandon the plane you just took over? Because I'm Superman and this is MY airspace, fuck you plane.

Ever grapple a vehicle under a chopper and try to fly it? Did that for about a hour one night just swinging it back and forth, had whatever i was towing flip up and over the chopper a few times. Was a real pain to get it over some of the mountains but managed.

Looks like Champions Online with the cel-shading/comic style enabled. Other than that doesn't look like i'd try it.

News Comments > Star Wars: The Old Republic Expansion Announced

Gotta love the email sent out, also on the page announcing it but still, that beats you into preordering by Jan 7th to start playing 5 days ahead. oooooooo yeah that'll get me to preorder it. Maybe if they also said they'd patch in multi-specs, multi-class characters i'd bother with this game again. By that I mean it really is stupid beyond the 2 force using groups that a trooper can only be a vanguard or commando, agent a op or sniper, etc... and can't learn the other skill sets. Or smugglers and BH's can work either faction not pigeon holed into the sides they are now. Oh well don't care about ToR anymore as I went back to WoW after 18months away and actually enjoying it again.

News Comments > Star Wars: The Old Republic Patched
8. Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic Patched Dec 12, 2012, 02:42 OldTimber
 
For the first time in a week I figured I'd log in to check the new items out and to clear things up before I finally cancel this steaming pile. I give any MMO I start in a year usually if possible and can't wait to dump this one. Or actually no think I'll wait, hit up the launch day anniversary pop the silly founder title up finally and laugh my ass off on both fleets.

Their new content this time around is just more and more in the cartel market to buy with last months initial packs going for dirt cheap credit wise on the GTN. Everything else new,the lifeday items,are just slapped into the market now instead of a quest chain/event type as they did with the scavenger hunt a few months back. Oh look all the fugly recolored armor is still sold as sets instead of pieces which if they were smart enough would get them more revenue. Hey wow "heroic" space missions, don't even recall the last time I wasted a few minutes doing the regular ones as they became boring after the 10th time through on multiple toons.

Oh well going to go get some laughs reading the forums as people justify spending more and more money in the market for bits that will be gone when the servers are pulled.

grabbed it on steam, played maybe 5 hrs and dumped it the other night in a deletion spree of stuff i'll never look at again. Just didn't see anything in it as the engine beyond the player models looks horrible. Overblow sun flares don't make a environmental mood. And gotta love the whole bright white ice planet, guess the devs saw Hoth in ToR and figured hell we can make a brighter retina burning out planet of our own. It suffers from the Battlefield/Tribes design problem, all that terrain generated but combat is only in small areas. Should be aware of your surroundings if you decide to walk across the landscape, but then nobody would sit out there scoped to a area to pick off anyone like that.
