Mamoulian War Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Got TOR for a bargain price. It's my first MMO and right now I'm enjoying it a lot. Finished the Jedi Knight origin story and the first flashpoint. Thank god it does feel like a singleplayer game. I realy do not understand people playing MMOs who wants to have SP experience from the game... Because more often than not when you're running up to the end game content, you're generally going to be plowing through it alone. Whenever I played MMO and ended up playing it alone, it was a sign that the game sucks... Even in leveling up, I expect to have multiplayer experience... The more and more putting of SP experience into the MMOs, made me to stop playing them altogether, because I got bored in every single one I played in one or two weeks, and started to play SP only games again...

You can still seek out groups in TOR, the heavier populated servers have plenty of people spread over the level spectrum leveling alts. TOR is different from other MMO's because of the very individual class stories, hence it manages to pull off a pretty satisfying single player experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entrerix Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Why does TOR have a monthly fee if it's so single player oriented? Wouldn't they have sold more copies by just marketing it like kotor3? Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

Calax Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Why does TOR have a monthly fee if it's so single player oriented? Wouldn't they have sold more copies by just marketing it like kotor3? Because at the end of the leveling/class stories it's all about parties and raiding like WoW. I mean in terms of how leveling and end game are handled, the only difference between WoW and TOR is that leveling up ToR builds itself around having a very directed story based leveling experiance. While WoW is just kinda like "go into this area and get me 20 bear asses.... oh, and here's a reason too!". Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Labadal Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Diablo III Planescape: Torment Neverwinter Nights 2 I haven't played on consoles for a few days, despite having a big backlog on them. When I have played on PS3, it has only been Mahjong. On 3DS, I'm started Dragon Quest IX. Still very early in the game. I'm also playing Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones.

Hassat Hunter Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Why does TOR have a monthly fee if it's so single player oriented? Wouldn't they have sold more copies by just marketing it like kotor3? Maybe. But Wow's success puts blindfolds on publishers, who just see big monies. Of course pretty much every MMO bursts like a bubble, but they can't see that... But nope, they had to make this. Something single-players dislike due to the heavy multiplayer focus and boring MMO quest (kill X) that intertwine their story, and is disliked by MMO fans because there is too much story and not enough boring grinding and repeating the same stuff at the end that's apparently "fun"... Can't please both with the same game... despite how much BioWare tries. I realy do not understand people playing MMOs who wants to have SP experience from the game... Probably people like me who just want KOTOR3, and only "play MMO's" because BioWare forced that down our throat. It's like wondering "I don't understand people playing Fallout 3/New Vegas who want to have isometric turnbased combat experience from the game"... ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

There are a ton of very successful and long running MMO's out there, so I'm not sure where you are getting that. TOR itself is still doing quite well, it would need a precipitous drop off to fail at this point. It is still in the realm of possibility, but it becomes less unlikely every month. Here's a short list of very successful MMO's currently running strong: Lord of the Rings Online City of Heroes Everquest 2 Rift That doesn't even include all the middling games that are still running and turning a profit. MMO's are a long term investment, they are risky, but they pay dividends much longer than a traditional game does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 "only "play MMO's" because BioWare forced that down our throat." There was no forcing by BIO or anybody. If you chose to buy/play KOTOR MMO that was your decision. I am a BIo fan yet I didn't bother with KOTOR MMO. They musta done a piss poor forcing job if they couldn't even get me to buy the game.

Tale Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Killed my first dragon! WHEE. It apparently has a move that instantly kills all pawns and seals your abilities. That's kind of fun. Running around, resurrecting pawns. Then having the resurrected pawns restoring my magic. At least it didn't dominate them. That's always bad news.

Gorth Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Playing a bit of Trine 2 to take a break from Warlock - Master of the Arcane.
