"Innovative" .... ha ha ha.... Yes its the first game that ever decided to invest money into this instead of investing them into features..
I couldn't even finish counting to 5.
*sad face*

Doesn't matter, had Guinnes record!
I think I actually spent way more time reading and theorycrafting about MMOs than playing them
{mod edit}
As far as TOR, I have been a fan of BW stories since BG. Tor has lived up to my expectaions thus fan(highest lvl is 24).
Asking Devs to make AAA sandbox titles is like trying to get fine dining on a McDonalds dollar menu budget.
Wow, nice. Pretty damn impressive indeed.
My brand new bloggity blog.
LMAO!
That had to be staged.
Gratz to BW.
Like it or not it one heck of a job, both in quality and quantity.
Beer? i want one too.
"for any entertainment project"
How many lines are in a movie script on average?
Heh, this book is the mother of all things that goes too far. It started with some old dudes writing down dart scores in Guiness old pub a long way back...
And yes, I want one as well.
Guiness had another brilliant idea as well. The Brits taxed breweries based on how much barley they bought so Guiness used 50% potatoes (which give that just right taste), tax cheating actually made the beer taste like it does.
This records looks a bit silly. Marketing guys could have thought of something better.
An honest review of SW:TOR 6/10 (Danny Wojcicki)
Is there a record for the biggest waste of money ever spent on a MMO? but gratz BW
"Does it count all the lines that are just Huttese gibberish?"
LOL.
"Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference."
I need to take this advice more.
I always find it assuming how "other" people seem to have the "moral authority" of how other's people's money is "correctly spent".
Would you pass your own test?
If you don't like a game don't play it, and quit running to MMORPG.com to trash it.
Tis Good News, I thought for sure BW/SWTOR would get an award for all that advertisement it had for the game too.
Commercials every 5 - 13 mins, Tie in w/ SW IP, games, movies, and shows on 8 different channels still showing SW crap to coincide with TOR release (even tho its the 7th), flash mobs, cosplay, interviews, etc etc... I never once asked what they spent money on as the VO and advertisements on everything is a dead giveaway.
Great SW game.
Nice, SWTOR sets a new benchmark for the mmo industry.
- We had MUDs.
- Then text quests with an single OK button.
- Then some rare voice overs in less than a handfull of games. (AOC, Aion,...) with the single OK button.
- Now SWTOR moves into the mmo future with full voice overs, multiple choices in place of the OK button.
The mmorpgs are moving forward, SWTOR is playing a big part in this on the RPG side. Future games can now do their part and improve upon this.
Congratulation Bioware.
I might get banned for this. - Rizel Star.
I'm not afraid to tell trolls what they [need] to hear, even if that means for me to have an forced absence afterwards.
P2P LOGIC = If it's P2P it means longevity, overall better game, and THE BEST SUPPORT EVER!!!!!(Which has been rinsed and repeated about a thousand times)
Common Sense Logic = P2P logic is no better than F2P Logic.
Please go back to your text or questless games.
If you can't see how SWTOR is doing it's fair share in moving the mmorpg industry forward in the RPG department, I'll let you go back to school take some history lessons, you'll realize evolution is done 1 step at a time.
Future games will be like movies with multiple choices and direct interaction and no buttons to click, but I guess you'll still be here "oh I miss my text games and my single OK button".
^^AMEN
Is evolution of MMOS the creation of heavily instanced and shard worlds with 100 maximum players in it? Is evolution the use of companions so u dont have to interact with other players (in a freakin MMO!) at all? Is evolution exhaustion zones?? What Bioware did is raping the MMO ideas and twist them into some lifeless CORPG . Go back to singleplayers games pls!
Eve Online is an evolution of what MMO should look like with DUST 514 comming in - not this railroad interactive movie
It may be fun or whatevs but dont give me the crap that this is the way to go in MMOs, please...

Actually, Metentso has a point there. And you probably need some distance to be able to speak about the game objectively.
They do have a huge marketing machine, and it's harnessed to the full. They've made sure they have 100% coverage everywhere and are also making sure that coverage is positive. I have to admit, their marketing stunt at Times Square was something unseen.
About your comment and this Guinness (the drink is awesome, the book not so), AoC should be there too (is it?) for revolutionazing mmorpg combat. That was and is unseen before and after.
There has been earlier endeavours to make games interactive videos and they've been experiments that didn't last. Maybe it's because the audience wasn't ready for that at the time, maybe it's because people want to PLAY games instead of DIRECTING them.
