*****Official Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread*****
- Thread starter CaptainRAVE
- Start date
Most likely will be with only 2.5 weeks left until early start. They might tweak some stuff here and there but I doubt it'll be much different if any. Can't say for certain though.
This game looks even worse then the original Kotors which were released at the start of the decade
Seriously? Are you blind?
Even after all these DM walls of texts and petty arguments, nobody has put forward a good argument as to why it's rubbish, just that (at level 5) it is.
Nobody has put forward ANY suggestions as to how the quests could be improved, just that they're bad. There is a lot of variation in the quests, they aren't just kill X of Y, they're fairly varied.
This is just how MMO's work, they always have and until this style stops working, they always will.
If you weren't expecting WoW with a different art design, some BioWare-esque changes and a Star Wars theme - then you obviously don't have a clue.
I agree with what Robbo said tbh. I see a lot on this forum and others people saying this is crap it's not going to be a game changer like GW2.... You know what I don't see what the big deal is about GW2 at all. Maybe someone can enlighten me ?
As for the whole graphics look worse than kotor...
Heres Kotor screeny
Hers Swtor
Ok its a bit jaggy but AA will sort that out. Something that no one has access to on beta yet...
Now can you really say that the first picture looks better in terms of graphics compared to the second picture ??
I'm not saying kotor is a crap game because I liked it but seriously.....

Determined troll is determined. You complain about Adsta using a bad screenshot of Kotor to explain his point and then use a bad screenshot of Swtor to prove your point...Well played...genius...
So lets combine see what is shows:
vs
Yep Swtor looks significantly better so go back under your bridge Mr. Troll.
erm yes we do, if you read back a page theres a great post telling you how to apply AA which really makes the game engine look tons better.
regarding this SW:ToR graphics bashing, WoW looked like it was based in teletubby land and that didn't stop gazillions of people playing it.
gameplay > graphics everyday of the week for me personally, yes I like to see eye candy but not at the expense of fun.
**edit : is there a button to hide your UI for screenshots anyone know ? cheers **
Screenshots aside there are clear differences. If you think KOTOR looks the same then I suggest you visit your nearest optician.
Again, people with no clue thinking this would look like Crysis 3 or something? Bizarre.
It's an MMO, they have an art style that works well on a range of hardware and that looks decent, not amazing, but decent. Rift is an exception to this, but it doesn't really add anything to game.
Like WoW, it doesn't look amazing but it sticks to its art style and it holds up very well even today, it simply isn't important in some games and this is an example of such a game.
ok how about in game screenshots then ?
And thank you for the Mr Troll comment.... first time I have ever actually been called a troll
I'm just going by what I see and have played. I'm so glad that I can have my "own opinion" on a forum

The point isn't that it looks significantly better or worse, the point is that it looks very similar even thou KOTOR is a game from 2003 while SWTOR is a game from 2012.
Also, to Robbo, I don't get paid thousands of dollars a month to create quest lines for SWTOR so sorry but it's not my job, you don't go to a restaurant and offer to cook your own meal, it's Biowares job to improve they're quest lines or ensure they deliver a quality product.
Another thing is, I sure hope they're character customisation is improved on release because right now it looks like everyone looks pretty much the same, also, fat people, seriously? I wonder which genius came up with that. Maybe I'll create a character that looks like fat Albert just for the lols.

The grass/tree textures shown in that screenshot truly make me laugh...
They don't. You're simply wrong. The only thing that may look the same is that the characters are the same races, etc.
And they have. The quest system is significantly better than any other MMO out there.
There you go, you're just a troll.
Not a surprise really considering the wind-up/fantasist threads you make on a weekly basis.

To be fair mate you must be on a gash rig or playing lowest settings for it to look like that
Err... I was about to post a screenie, where do they have to when I take them? Then I will post one.
I don't get what the big deal is about the graphics, it's not as though there are many other MMO's out there that are significantly better. There is AoC and their fantastic launch of course where it ran like a dog for 6 months to a year.
MMO's aren't like single players where graphics take big leaps every couple of years.

I dont get peoples deal either with the graphics. I thought they was good few issues here and there but good.
I hope a lot improves over time with this game. Combat is not quite there yet. But a lot of potential with the game hope it goes well.

I'm sure it has been said but an MMO has to be playable on a wide range of system therefore it will not be cutting edge. Also this is a beta with some very important graphical options such as AA turned off for now. Also they are working with an engine that's probably 4+ years old.
