I DIDN'T play this but I watched it played for 2 hours and I can say I'm so glad it was uninstalled... the game looks TERRIBLE.. laminated and 3 years outdated graphicswise. Another big issue is the story ISN'T good and it's all chatter in the start... too much! Anyone notice the retarded chat bubble that appears over ppl who are watching their own chatter with the NPCs? just bad! I can say I am glad I didn't sign up when my husband did because I had more fun playing Aika online for the 2-3 days it will keep me occupied and then it will be back to the wait for a proper next gem MMO...

LOL that is cute. hater made an account just to bash in this thread....
you have neither seen nor played the game... not even for a second. how can i tell? you produced absolutely no information that shows you have.
3 years outdated graphics? you saw someone say it is using the 3 year old Hero engine...and thought haha i can use that to troll! the game has been heavily modified... it looks and plays nothing like Champions.
retarded chat bubble? its a chat bubble.... would you rather people be standing around like statues while watching their cutscenes? its a visual way to show someone is engaged in a cinematic. how is that a bad thing?

go away troll.
Im the troll? 1st off you can see I joined two months ago... but have never posted. Secondly yoo commented on the proof I HAVE seen the game played... otherwise how would I know of the chat bubble? I say the graphics look 3 years outdated because games 3-4 years old look better or the same as this pile of dogsh!t. You cannot act like this is news to you as people have been complaining about it for months now as videos and screenshots have been leaked. I once had planned to play SWTOR.. we even reserved our guild name when that became available to do so, but then I saw the graphics and saw the gameplay and then quickly decided against it. Sorry to prove you wrong but you shouldn't talk out your a$$.
A fair first impression of the game and tbh I felt you were more unbiased than a lot I have read. The issues you stated with the game such as UI, character customization, and gfx appear to be common issues that folks are expressing. The UI I absolutely hate, but I do believe that Bioware is going to work on this. It's my hope that they don't ignore the issue the way SOE did with the DCUO (shudder, worst PC UI ever in an MMO). The character customization isn't going to be fixed or changed until an expansion imho. They will have a lot of other things to work on that will be more important that this issue after release. (Again, mho) Overall the game is fun and I'm looking forward to seeing how my beta testing goes this weekend. =D

First of all, you lose all credibility when you complain about a game you only watched. Also, the NDA is down, pretty damn easy to figure out what convorsations are like now. And this game is stylized. Its not the best looking game out there but it doesnt look bad.
I think you should stop complaining about a game you havn't played.

Relax, you'll be alright. As far as 'you people' is concerned, different strokes for different folks. Not everyone is blindly gonna follow your opinion, so I wouldn't try so hard As as the graphics, personally, I like the graphics. 1 year old, 5 years old, 2 days old doesn't matter to me. As long as I like it, I'm good.
I have been playing the game since the servers came online about 7 hours ago and I just cannot stomach another second of it. I'm sorry Bioware but ToR stinks. From the terrible graphics to the bland storylines and uninspired gameplay the entire package looks like it was thrown together over a weekend; not something that has taken years and $150 million plus. For something with the Bioware name it's disgusting and will only hurt the companies reputation every bit as much as WAR hurt Mythic's.
I cannot believe that Bioware had a great deal of say in the direction or production values of this game. I thank the heavens that I didn't pre-order.

Stylized? This game isn't stylized, it's bad graphics.. stylized would be say Firefall or Eden Eternal. The textures are flat and look glued on in a lot of cases.. like beards look really bad. I am not complaining about the game. I decided to post to back up the people with the same opinion as me who are getting flamed by loser internet thugs who like this game and think they have a right to harass those with a different point of view.

yup, definitely a troll. resorting to name calling and profanity. your ruse isnt working troll, sorry.
your entire argument just devolved into "NUH UH, I TOTALLY HAVE". yeah... no, you havent seen or played the game beyond youtube vids.
how do you know about the chat bubbles? they are only in every youtube video of someone playing the game... derp. and dont even get me started on the graphics comment. people who havent played the game, or are running the the game on minimum settings because they are WOW fanbois are complaining about the graphics. I have found almost no evidence of people running the game on maximum and complaining about horrid graphics.
the graphics on maximum are at the very LEAST good. characters have decent poly counts, facial animations are excellent, and textures while not high res, are far better than the garbage seen in WOW and several other MMOs. the world design and graphics are EXCELLENT. large draw distances and grand scale coupled with very compelling art design.
you HAVENT seen or played the game at all, stop lieing. your argument is transparent.

lol, disgraced trollop, I like that. I got one... Guttersnipe or is it gutter snipe. Don't know just like it.
I ca ncomment on the initial feeling a bit,becuase i keep hopping aorund to different class choices i havn't got far into the game.Well plus the fact i can't game too long i get sleepy /.
The inittial movies are very good,i would almost say Lucas arts made them and not Bioware.
The dialogue quests are good,i just wish games would quit with the markers ,it drives me nuts.Markers are totally unrealistic.
Quests are ok,loot and drops are fair enough.Mouse options don't seem to work,my mouse movements are incredibly fast and jerky,so no mouse smoothing and lowering it doesn't seem to work.
I don't find the UI that bad,not important to me as long as it works.There is the stuff i expect to see like a few hotbars available and key binidings is a MUST,so i was happy to see bindings.No idea however why almsot every single game will not allow the shift key to bind,i use arrows and want it .
The graphics are low end and in man ycases like the cutscenes they COULD have gone higher end.
I really don't have a serious issue with the game other than 1 big one.The character customization at the start is a slap in the face.They use the exact same model for all choices ,all they do is slap a new face skin on it,VERY cheap and very sad.There is no racial or stat to thin kabout,basically everyoen starts the same with a coupel different abilities tied to your class.
So the the game real big problem is depth ,they basicallydid everything half ass.
Is it FUN? YES beleive it or not it has some fun value,and you know me,i wouldn't say that unless i really meant it.Are the quests ok ,i mean not going to bore the death out of you?Again YES,notthing briliant but the ydon't bore me like other games can turn me right off.
The final verdict is the MOST important one.....Is the game worth buying?IMO YES ,it is not amazing ,could use a lot more depth ,but it has some short term value for FUN.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
i would say that anyone saying the graphics arent atleast good and artistically very pleasing is either trolling or only plays crysis.
the game runs well, has a great draw distance, characters look nice and environments look even better. animations are smooth and flashy as well.
i dont see how anyone can complain about the graphics. they look a little cartoony, but that is just the style of the game. there is NO WAY this game looks even remotely, IN ANY WAY, worse or even on par with WOW. it is by far superior in every possible graphical category.
granted, the game does not look as great as AOC or Aion.... however it also doesnt require the PC that those games do, and has NEVER touted itself to be a graphical powerhouse. It looks GOOD for MMO standards, and serves to create a visually pleasurable world to play in.
I'd say they're on Par for a lot of reasons. Animations aren't overly elaborate, but very effective and responsive to the action inputted. That's always been WoW's strongest "visual". The polygon counts aren't anything to write home about on either game, but they make good use of assets. Plus there's a lot thought going into the background and it's often embellished since 90% of the time it'll be just backdrop rather than a gameplay element.
So yeah, on par with WoW.
But that's not a bad thing.
i garauntee you the poly counts on SWTOR characters are atleast double, if not more, that of WOW characters..... have you seen the hands of WOW characters? they dont even have fingers...
I wish I could take your money. Because you couldn't be more wrong if you had signed off with the name -Winston Churchill.
I used to play MMOs like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.
ignore them Puke, this thread is about 2 internet thugs harassing people with a different opinion... they can see how bad the game looks through their fanboi eyes. Hell I mean im a slut because I disagreed with them! Also reading comprehension is beyond them... they read something, comment on it and in the same post say it never happened!
I enjoyed the game and will buy it; but I agree the graphics are a disappointment. Appealing to the lowest common denominator is pretty lame; but I guess they wanted to make sure a child with an old computer could run it.
Best part about the Beta is that it saved me $$$$$
Im sorry but this is WOW in space.. I expected sooo much more.. ohh well on the bright side there is so many other good games that came out and coming out.
Im tired of reading and the same thing over and over again. Was expecting to see some constructive criticism at the least.
The problem is though they aren't really equiped to be critical after 2 hours. Making a thread reviewing the game a portion of the tutorial speaks for itself. I mean... at least wait for Monday...
I tend to dimiss weekend tester opinion tbh- it is usually gush way too influenced by hype, new game syndrome, gratitude at actually getting in to a 'beta', and (in this case) the elation of hearing the SW theme.
This is all kind of reminding me of Rift though and how weekend testers were pumped for the game back then a well, despite warnings and balanced opinions from long term testers (who they aggresively argued down). As I have said before, you can't even get those same guys to admit ever even supporting the game now.

Im sorry but this is WOW in space.. I expected sooo much more.. ohh well on the bright side there is so many other good games that came out and coming out.
Please enlighten use on how this is WOW in space.
Currently I have a level 19 and not once has anything I have done or seen even reminds me of WOW.

yes they did... early this week I think maybe last week.
LOL that is cute. hater made an account just to bash in this thread....
you have neither seen nor played the game... not even for a second. how can i tell? you produced absolutely no information that shows you have.
3 years outdated graphics? you saw someone say it is using the 3 year old Hero engine...and thought haha i can use that to troll! the game has been heavily modified... it looks and plays nothing like Champions.
retarded chat bubble? its a chat bubble.... would you rather people be standing around like statues while watching their cutscenes? its a visual way to show someone is engaged in a cinematic. how is that a bad thing?
go away troll.
Im the troll? 1st off you can see I joined two months ago... but have never posted. Secondly yoo commented on the proof I HAVE seen the game played... otherwise how would I know of the chat bubble? I say the graphics look 3 years outdated because games 3-4 years old look better or the same as this pile of dogsh!t. You cannot act like this is news to you as people have been complaining about it for months now as videos and screenshots have been leaked. I once had planned to play SWTOR.. we even reserved our guild name when that became available to do so, but then I saw the graphics and saw the gameplay and then quickly decided against it. Sorry to prove you wrong but you shouldn't talk out your a$$.
A fair first impression of the game and tbh I felt you were more unbiased than a lot I have read. The issues you stated with the game such as UI, character customization, and gfx appear to be common issues that folks are expressing. The UI I absolutely hate, but I do believe that Bioware is going to work on this. It's my hope that they don't ignore the issue the way SOE did with the DCUO (shudder, worst PC UI ever in an MMO). The character customization isn't going to be fixed or changed until an expansion imho. They will have a lot of other things to work on that will be more important that this issue after release. (Again, mho) Overall the game is fun and I'm looking forward to seeing how my beta testing goes this weekend. =D
First of all, you lose all credibility when you complain about a game you only watched. Also, the NDA is down, pretty damn easy to figure out what convorsations are like now. And this game is stylized. Its not the best looking game out there but it doesnt look bad.
I think you should stop complaining about a game you havn't played.
Relax, you'll be alright. As far as 'you people' is concerned, different strokes for different folks. Not everyone is blindly gonna follow your opinion, so I wouldn't try so hard As as the graphics, personally, I like the graphics. 1 year old, 5 years old, 2 days old doesn't matter to me. As long as I like it, I'm good.

I have been playing the game since the servers came online about 7 hours ago and I just cannot stomach another second of it. I'm sorry Bioware but ToR stinks. From the terrible graphics to the bland storylines and uninspired gameplay the entire package looks like it was thrown together over a weekend; not something that has taken years and $150 million plus. For something with the Bioware name it's disgusting and will only hurt the companies reputation every bit as much as WAR hurt Mythic's.
I cannot believe that Bioware had a great deal of say in the direction or production values of this game. I thank the heavens that I didn't pre-order.
Stylized? This game isn't stylized, it's bad graphics.. stylized would be say Firefall or Eden Eternal. The textures are flat and look glued on in a lot of cases.. like beards look really bad. I am not complaining about the game. I decided to post to back up the people with the same opinion as me who are getting flamed by loser internet thugs who like this game and think they have a right to harass those with a different point of view.
Ahh, cool cool!

Its stylized just like WoW is or Aion is. Its a style. Borderlands is stylized with good graphics yet some people will say they are bad because they dont like the style. Your harassing people who like the game, so how are you any better?
who am I harassing?!?! I am responding to insults. WoW could be considered stylized but not Aion... and SWTOR can't either but obviously there is no getting that through your head. Yes Borderlands was stylized and looked good.. this isn't and doesn't.
Anywho... done with this, glad to see others posting the same opions as I have. Please treat them with the respect they deserve.. unlike how you treated me and others before me.
yup, definitely a troll. resorting to name calling and profanity. your ruse isnt working troll, sorry.
your entire argument just devolved into "NUH UH, I TOTALLY HAVE". yeah... no, you havent seen or played the game beyond youtube vids.
how do you know about the chat bubbles? they are only in every youtube video of someone playing the game... derp. and dont even get me started on the graphics comment. people who havent played the game, or are running the the game on minimum settings because they are WOW fanbois are complaining about the graphics. I have found almost no evidence of people running the game on maximum and complaining about horrid graphics.
the graphics on maximum are at the very LEAST good. characters have decent poly counts, facial animations are excellent, and textures while not high res, are far better than the garbage seen in WOW and several other MMOs. the world design and graphics are EXCELLENT. large draw distances and grand scale coupled with very compelling art design.
you HAVENT seen or played the game at all, stop lieing. your argument is transparent.
oh yeah... totally, you totally treat people with respect. you curse them out and call them names.... that is showing them lots of respect.
you are a disgraced trollop. Already exposed you for what you truly are, a liar. fucking done with you. hope to never see you on these boards again.
lol, disgraced trollop, I like that. I got one... Guttersnipe or is it gutter snipe. Don't know just like it.

I ca ncomment on the initial feeling a bit,becuase i keep hopping aorund to different class choices i havn't got far into the game.Well plus the fact i can't game too long i get sleepy /.
The inittial movies are very good,i would almost say Lucas arts made them and not Bioware.
The dialogue quests are good,i just wish games would quit with the markers ,it drives me nuts.Markers are totally unrealistic.
Quests are ok,loot and drops are fair enough.Mouse options don't seem to work,my mouse movements are incredibly fast and jerky,so no mouse smoothing and lowering it doesn't seem to work.
I don't find the UI that bad,not important to me as long as it works.There is the stuff i expect to see like a few hotbars available and key binidings is a MUST,so i was happy to see bindings.No idea however why almsot every single game will not allow the shift key to bind,i use arrows and want it .
The graphics are low end and in man ycases like the cutscenes they COULD have gone higher end.
I really don't have a serious issue with the game other than 1 big one.The character customization at the start is a slap in the face.They use the exact same model for all choices ,all they do is slap a new face skin on it,VERY cheap and very sad.There is no racial or stat to thin kabout,basically everyoen starts the same with a coupel different abilities tied to your class.
So the the game real big problem is depth ,they basicallydid everything half ass.
Is it FUN? YES beleive it or not it has some fun value,and you know me,i wouldn't say that unless i really meant it.Are the quests ok ,i mean not going to bore the death out of you?Again YES,notthing briliant but the ydon't bore me like other games can turn me right off.
The final verdict is the MOST important one.....Is the game worth buying?IMO YES ,it is not amazing ,could use a lot more depth ,but it has some short term value for FUN.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I wish I could take your money. Because you couldn't be more wrong if you had signed off with the name -Winston Churchill.
I used to play MMOs like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.
ignore them Puke, this thread is about 2 internet thugs harassing people with a different opinion... they can see how bad the game looks through their fanboi eyes. Hell I mean im a slut because I disagreed with them! Also reading comprehension is beyond them... they read something, comment on it and in the same post say it never happened!
I enjoyed the game and will buy it; but I agree the graphics are a disappointment. Appealing to the lowest common denominator is pretty lame; but I guess they wanted to make sure a child with an old computer could run it.

Im sorry but this is WOW in space.. I expected sooo much more.. ohh well on the bright side there is so many other good games that came out and coming out.
The problem is though they aren't really equiped to be critical after 2 hours. Making a thread reviewing the game a portion of the tutorial speaks for itself. I mean... at least wait for Monday...
I tend to dimiss weekend tester opinion tbh- it is usually gush way too influenced by hype, new game syndrome, gratitude at actually getting in to a 'beta', and (in this case) the elation of hearing the SW theme.
This is all kind of reminding me of Rift though and how weekend testers were pumped for the game back then a well, despite warnings and balanced opinions from long term testers (who they aggresively argued down). As I have said before, you can't even get those same guys to admit ever even supporting the game now.
