GGGAAAAHHHHHHHH WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the wait is ALMOST OVER

GREAT.....GREAT job of the first 3 vids got the BEST 3 out of em all MAN i cant WAIT

Trolls you are the BEST

[Hockeyhacker]

Very nice... I know when I first heard about it I was intreged, as it got closer I lost interest in hotkey MMOs with the way things had been going with WoW. As Gamescom footage came out I thought "meh combat looks clunky", as one of the Beta weekends started I played a bit and felt "great story, but weak disconnected combat" as if it was made as a choose your own adventure storybook with combat tosed in as an afterthought... I continued playing the beta despite being disapointed at first, and once I got a bit furthur in the combat started feeling more fluid, the story stayed great and so I had to pre order it.

Still looking forward to GW2 coming out, but I will definitly be playing ToR as well. Takes all the good parts about Bioware games and fixes lots of the issues with them as well... to those who may have tried the beta weekend for a few hours and gave up on it, I must say if they have a "1 week free try before you buy" anytime try it again but make sure you atleast get off the first planet because the combat does feel a lot smoother after that and the story is very emersive and well done.

Pumped for this game, but can't help thinking the way Bioware/EA is handling the launch leaves a lot to be desired.

first page of a future epic thread for SW:TOR



I'm ready, even if I'm not doing the whole overnight thing anymore. I intend on enjoying the hell out of the storyline with my DS Twi'lek Jedi Consular Shadow Tank.


Except for the fact that I can't name her Fishtacos, I'm happy. Guess I'll have to do some slight bastardization, like Fishy'Tacos

[Grimmak]

Oh shit, I forgot about those giant lightsabers from back when. Classic.
