Star Wars: The Old Republic is KotOR 3-8

I've been talking about it for 2 years now but I swear, I will be buying a sweet gaming PC in 2010 and this game is by far the #1 reason why. :D

Anyway, what you guys think of this and who here is planning on buying the game ?

Seems logical to me so I guess we can stop hoping for an actual stand alone Kotor 3.

The Story.

-----

So many people continue to wonder if development studio BioWare will ever deliver Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic III. Well, I would've thought the answer to that is pretty damn obvious. Anyway, just to be clear on the matter, BioWare designer Christina Norman tweeted that a the company's upcoming MMORPG, Star Wars: The Old Republic, actually represents a new addition to the Knights of the Old Republic series.

Hm, it's a third game, and more, by the look of it.

He basically said this: "Kotor 3? Yes, it's called "The Old Republic" and it is KOTOR 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8!"

Sucks for those of us who don't want to pay a subscription, team with others, or buy items from a microtransaction store, or deal with 12 year olds pvping us.

I loved Kotor 1, and 2. But sadly I won't be getting this mmo. I just don't have the time (and money really) to invest in it. That; and I know the story isn't going to be near the quality of the first two.

Youve played it? no? then i guess you dont know anything.

Its KOTOR 3-8... only with an awful artstyle and horrid looking gamepplay. I dont know why your so excited by that concept anyway, its like saying "WoW is Warcraft 4-8"...Birdy09

But your opinion is noted and followed by a... We shall see. 8)

So the KOTOR 9 hype machine starts now! Go single player! :cry:tomarlyn

just about every mmo ive played arent story based there all level based that includeds the best such as world of warcraft so i cannot see this been much different, Kotor 1+2 were the probably my favorite games ever due to the story and charecters those are two things that mmos do very badly in so i cannot see myself buying this also i never pay monthly fees i think its a money scam

I shall wait for the real KOTOR 3,the single player experience...although that´s probably not happening.

I will pick it up as i enjoyed the first two and i enjoy the mmo formula (healer here). Gameplay won't actually change much for those single player guys who are worried because... well KoToR 1&2 played like mmo's.

The only valid complaint you have is with the fee, you can avoid pvp altogether, you can play the game by yourself (both comments confirmed by bioware) and I've never heard them say anything about microtransactions.

Hmm... excited for TOR, it definitely has a ton of potential and a great license to exploit.

One issue I have though, is "So many people continue to wonder if development studio BioWare will ever deliver Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic III". Anyone paying attention knows that Obsidian made KOTOR II, so speculation about BioWare doing the third is completely out of left field, imo.

Because we all know how focused MMOs are when it comes to storyline:?GulliversTravel

Well, Warcraft has a very in-depth story, but from playing WoW, you almost learn nothing about it.

I pictured The Old Republic to be the same, but who knows?

Wow's story was going fine until dranei. The reason people don't know the story in WoW is because they refuse to read the quests or listen to the random convos the NPCs have. I personally read them, but that's because I like warcraft, I don't expect the majority to.

I'll be buying it. I'm pretty excited for it actually.

If you say so.. WoW like the radical majority of mmos have a extremely passive story telling and you would get more information from skimming through the wiki site dedicated for it then you ever would from playing the radical majority of the game..

I don't see how you would get more info through the wiki page when the wiki page is updated with info coming from WoW...

Because as I said its extremely passive and gives no reason to the viewer to pay attention, becuase the radical majority of the outcome will be the exact same.. Not to mention some 50 to 75% of the games quests involve generic minature story lines that have nothing really to do with the actual story.. Yeah I am sure that quest camp that was making fun of PETA was really idnepth about the universe of WoW..

Im not too excited for it, i have not seen any endgame and pvp. Once they show that then maybe ill be excited.

i will be upgrading for this game too. really looking forward to it myself. cant wait.

... Except those supposed side quests were short and really didn't make up the majortiy of the game, like WoW does.. I believe off hand there are some dozen and a half, all of them being relatively short, and then the rest are main game quests.. I agree som what, but not in Mass Effect 2's case because that most certianly does not make up the main part of the game, like WoW does.

Wowwiki has much more info on the lore, zones, characters, etc than you would ever get just from playing the game.

And yet that was more entertaining than the majority of ME2 side quests... where im randomly in a building having to read data... then getting an email congratulating me afterwards :roll:Birdy09

You're comparing the main questing of WoW to the side quests of Mass Effect. I think the guy you're arguing with is talking about main story vs. main story. And WoW, while an awesome game, does a pretty poor job in the storytelling department.

Loved the first 2 but i'm not to keen for a subscription game.

I cant wait for this game, havnt enjoyed an MMO much since Ultima Online (which was my fav ever).
I remember hearing Bioware say that The Old Republic has enough content/story/missions to be 9 KOTOR singleplayer games!!

Cant wait!

just about every mmo ive played arent story based there all level based that includeds the best such as world of warcraft so i cannot see this been much different, Kotor 1+2 were the probably my favorite games ever due to the story and charecters those are two things that mmos do very badly in so i cannot see myself buying this also i never pay monthly fees i think its a money scam

icyseanfitz

They have already said they are focusing on the story for this MMO. Its Bioware after all and there first MMO, they look to change mmos as far as story goes.

Looks to be finally an MMO with a GREAT story!

I shall wait for the real KOTOR 3,the single player experience...although that´s probably not happening.
