KOTOR MMO Official!?

[UnSub]

Bioware

Lucasarts

Electronic Arts


 These companies may have many fine qualities,.

Leaving aside Bioware, name one.

Sheer market power.

Also: getting people to buy their output, en masse, almost regardless of quality.

But maybe I repeat myself.

I dont really understand what all the hype with Bioware is about.  Sure, they have some arsty fartsy content in some of their games; but, what's truly "zomg" groundbreaking about their stuff?
Honestly, this next MMO (whatever it is) is their breakout game IMO - if they FUBAR it they'll be in the bargain bin and/or reliant on EA to bail them out.  Public perception is the thing here.

EA?  well... uh... yeah (moving on)

LucasArts is a big "?".  What exactly is their capacity in this?  If I had to guess it'd be simply creative management over the project and nothing else.  It gives legitimacy to the design and takes a healthy chunk of licensing costs away by throwing their label on the box.  Or does it cost more to put their label on the box?  When you license a Star Wars IP does that mean you're basically licensing LucasArts?

They've basically defined the western RPG? That's pretty relevant I would think.

You should share your crack, it is unkind to bogart the stash.

Ask most people what defines a western PC rpg and they'll either start talking about WoW, or if they are an old fucker they'll start talking about the Bard's Tale and Ultima.

I'll grant you they pretty much defined the Baldur's Gate phase of the western rpg.

[NiX]

So, wait, have they officially announced it's KotOR yet?

[eldaec]

No. But give them time, we're only on page 5.

It took 13 pages for Blizzard to formally admit to Diablo 3. But they'll break in the end, they always do.

[Jayce]

The fact is that they've defined SOMETHING.  Maybe you consider it a down phase in the history of the Western RPG, maybe you don't, but given the piles of crap out there, to make anything that's genre-defining even for a moment in time deserves recognition.

[Lantyssa]

We have to grind to even find out what game we're discussing?

No no, we are exploring our unique social sandbox until we reach Master Conversationalist.

[WayAbvPar]

Is that a prereq for Master Debater?

You must achieve Master rank in at least 8 of the forums here before you unlock your debater sensitive slot.

[Soln]

Lest we Forget: 5 Year Anniversary of SWG.

5 years sounds to me a good contractual limit in a license.  SOE had 5 years of exclusivity maybe?  Doubtful for the time it takes to make an MMO.  But you never know.

if one just concentrate on money pumping and the other advising the lore...while the smart one just makes a game...it could be a killer combo.

I think we have more than enough sensitive slots around here already.

I am going against the mob and saying the following:

It will fail, if the game is made especially for the PC. Sorry but the PC has had its many chances to get it right when it comes to mmos and simply, these development studios are made up mostly of engineers and not real game designers.

As I log in for another … fun filled night of AoC something seems clear to me now. Sometimes, it’s good to have a limit in terms of what you can do from a tech side of things… forces the developers to maybe make a game that’s fun… and also works (AoC was fun).


I loved the kotor games, I love mass effect… but if they release a kotor mmo that doesn’t use the skill based system they use in kotor (ie that DnD shit) I fucken quit at the beta login (not that I got into beta you fucken asshats)

Oh and one last statement. Fuck PVP. For real, I get nothing from pwning you n00bs in an mmo, not a god damn thing. But dragging one of u fuckwads on to c/s or cod4 and hearing you scream and cry while my AK goes through your dome, shit is great… so fuck you. Give me a great PVE game over this bullshit, fake sense of accomplishment you RTARDS get from a PVP mmo… because you know what, no matter how hard you try, how many hours you log… when you go on ur xbox or a pc fps… your still gona have guys like me, with my ballz bouncing off your fucken far head.

I love how that post was largely coherant initially, only to devolve into some crazy rant.

I'm reminded of a scene in some movie where a serious scientist gives a serious talk on AIDS or something then puts on a tinfoil hat and starts talking about how the it's the muslim using their space-combulators that are causing the epidemic.

It's like he suddenly remembered he's teh Grunk towards the end of the post.

The beginning doesn't really make that much sense either, it's just less frothy.

Nicely played, Soln and Morfiend. The combo of your posts is hilarious.

I agree, that thar is some funny shit.  Forced the wife to look at it.  She snorted.  hmph, chicks.

As if, i could simply copy & paste bs comments. Indeed, to one day become a shit bird, like yourself.

Where did you get a drool proof keyboard? I will need one when the kids are born.

[Jayce]

Appears that this thread has been grunkified.

[Cyrrex]

I only wish he posted more frequently.  It'd be fun to troll him.

[Rishathra]

That's a big part of his charm, though.  You never know when your thread will be visited by the Grunkster.  Both the anticipation and the shock of contact are hightened by his relative scarcity.

He's about as charming as having a horse cock up your ear is comfortable.
