What were the player numbers for SW Galaxies at launch? (Before people left because of the beta-ness.) I'd say that number + The EA Marketing Multiplier can give a pretty good idea what TOR can expect at launch.
A town of big casinos and drugs without anything else, 30s mobsters and mafia families... True, that's 100% what Fallout is.
C&C, lots of role playing, dark humor, multipath quests. Yep, nooothing at all.
I agree, I thought it would be much higher. Maybe they got those numbers out of people who chose to play the game connected to the server and they have imperfect data.
So all/most pirates are female, or all/most female are pirates?
I think I remember a story where someone (may or may not have been a reviewer) was berating a game, the ending was bad, etc... then someone took a look at his achievements, and the guy didn't even finish the first half.
They're at least a bit useful.
You could feel the rushed development in WW (just look at the true ending pre-boss fight cutscene). TT was great, but not as good story-wise (I'm talking only of the plot). SoT is, as far as I'm concerned, the best fable I know.
