Even if SWTOR ends up with a bajillion subscribers, it would only prove that you can sell people a turd as long as it's wrapped in a Star Wars package.
I think EA is well aware of that fact.
I never get too excited about upcoming releases, because I've seen too many failed promises.
Personally, I like to see concrete examples, like actual gameplay videos, before I decide "hey, this could be good" or "meh". GW2 has that going for it - …

Bioware probably saw an average of $70 per unit sold of Standard, Deluxe and CE.
It appears they had 2 million registed accounts by 12/23.
So, that is about $140 million in revenue alone.
Let's say t…

I keep telling people that it's most likely a core engine problem. Just look at the number of servers, it's insane. TOR has already as many servers as WoW and only a fraction of total gamer population, which means their servers can only handle a fra…

It's a joke, right?
Dead serious

I know people have complained a lot about instancing and low population caps, but I haven't seen anyone wondering why exactly are those in place, because it can't be to prevent overcrowding (even initial developer statements said only starter worlds…

Obviously you are easily impressed.
Yeah! It is scientifically proven that RP is impossible without chairs you…

I agree. VSoH combat is not as much action oriented as WoW. Its slower and not as fluid unfortunately.
Erm, I'm sorry but I played WoW for two years and while Vanguard combat is slower (yipiee) it's much more …
While I agree that dynamic strike collision detection and sophisticated response animation would be a great thing, I must point out that the current technology does not allow that. NO game has such a thing.
The reason why is because if you want suc…

This game needs a free trial. It would allow people to see for themselves and decide if they like it.
A good review, I agree with most points except the one about soloing - it's not boring at all, and definitely not painful; and graphics.

Ah, I won't cheerlead anyone. But I remember that when EVE first went out, it didn't even have turret tracking - the fights were as easy to predict as adding up numbers. Boooring. Look at it now.
So yeah, Sigil may lose some subscribers now. If th…
I just logged in to test the "changes" they introduced, and tried to solo a level 8 three-dot mob with my level 12 shaman, a 4 level difference.
I whoopped it's arse. I feel so powerful.
A couple of things to note:
-a shaman is a vastly better …
I don't understand - what do you mean, they took solo content out altogether? No more quests involving standard two-dot mobs?
Or you find that higher levels just take too damn long to level up solo?
Hey, it's a matter of preference, but being on o…
