KOTOR! Knights of the Old Republic MMO Confirmed!

from Bioware ?

 

 

Oh hell yes.  If there was any MMO that could get me away from WoW it was KOTOR.  **** YES.

 

Star Wars nerds around the world rejoice.  Everyone else sighs with the realization that this is going to be a ****ty game no matter what IP they base it on.

 

Because Bioware has a habit of making ****ty games...

 

The jump to MMO is tough for any developer.

As for specifics with this IP, as well, there are so many nerd-fans with so many built-up ideas and expectations about Star Wars that it will feel disappointing no matter what they do.  I would love to see something great but 95% chance it will be lackluster.

 

Blizzard did well, and I'd put Bioware on their same level.

They could make the greatest game of all time that has 100 million subscribers and there will still be masses of star wars fanboys *****ing about how dissapointing the game is. Worrying about pleasing them is the very last thing they should do

 

Agreed.  They should make an accessible game like WoW but keep the importance of the dynamic storyline and strong characterization that made the other KOTOR games good.

THANK YOU GOD

Unless KOTOR is as bad as AoC I'll be quitting WoW for it.  But I actually think Bioware can do a good job so I'm not worried

 

I figured you would dig this Jaina.  Though for a guy, I still think it is a big odd you have a female's handle on here, lol.

 

my wow char's name used to be jainasolo because it was a female UD so I just made my gameriot username that too

 

thats makes sense. 

as long as you aren't doing any star wars cosplay ;0

 

Here is the good part.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing her Wookie... or is it a Sarlacc Pit? 

I don't think I would give a damn.

 

Seriously.  It could eat my **** away with acid and I'd still look back on the encounter with fond memories.

 

As my uncle is fond of saying:
"I would eat a mile of her **** just to see where it came from"

 

lol I have to start using that saying IRL

 

Beware what you wish for.

gimme some of these ladies, oh ya!

 

great news, as a kotor fan and swg vet this has got my hopes up.

for the record Mass Effect was better then the KOTORs but they are both amazing, bioware does really great games.

 

i was greatly disapointed with Mass effect. i lost motivation and still havent beaten it.

 

gee, that worries me as someone who hasn't started it yet, lol

 

I had exactly the same thing as Riddler, the game loses a lot of momentum as you run into the midsection. Still definitely worth playing though.

 

Don't waste time with too many of the side quests.  The main story only takes about a day to play through.  You could probably spend 10 times that doing side quests, there's so many. 

The gameplay itself is a refreshing change from other rpg's but it will start to get old after you play through the game a few times.  The best part is the story, as should be the best part of any great rpg, I'd rank the story as one of the greatest of all time.

I'm honestly in shock that anyone could have played through mass effect and not loved it, everyone I know that played it through thought it was amazing.  In my opinion it's the best story since ff7, which is hard to compare to because ff7 is like 20 times longer.

 

Played mass effect and did tons of side missions and loved it the entire time. Great game, though I found the targeting a bit annoying at times. Other than that, and the fact that once you get the spectre weapons there's no point at all in keeping the other guns you get, are my only real complaints about the game.

 

My computer is broked so I guess I'll never finish it!

T_T

 

I've been waiting for this announcement for months =)

 

epic win.

 

The first time I laid eyes on Neverwinter Nights, it was love at first sight.
Ever since then, Bioware has done nothing but make incredible games.
This one will not be any different.

 

first of all, mass effect did fail in a way

i dont think thats really up for questioning,it was talked up to be more than it really was - the whole hundereds of worlds thing - which were basically copy + paste. the game , strictly fallowing the story is quite good, but again still quite long and hard to finish.

but you cannot deny, mass effect as a story is nothing short of brilliant. if you bothered to read the novel prequel to the game, and played it through, the story is genius. easily comparable to all of the top fantasy sci fi worlds in scope and depth.

however, a kotor mmo? if they really think about it and play there cards right, this will be the last game i ever play.

one downside to the path they have taken, is that - and im assuming here - that they have been in production since the opening of the austin studio , in which case they have not taken advice from there consumers, and as much as i trust in bioware, its about time some mmo developers listened to there ******* community in real time and make changes accordingly. im sure theres a lot of kids/nerds/geeks/genius's out there with some really great ideas that could be implemented to make this mmo a true competitor to wow (and lets be serious here guys, if they actually get the ball rolling, wow is going to feel it)

i think what a lot of people dont understand is how many people there are out there who play other mmo's / computer games that simply dont like wow - and theres a lot - that would play a star wars mmo , not to mention all the wow veterans who would jump ship given the opportunity of greener pastures.

im all for it whether it fails or not, because if you take a step back, you can see yourselves clearly impaled on blizzards giant throbbing black pole. theres nothing after getting geared up, after getting gladiator season after season. they will add more seasons of the same thing, more encounters of the same kind.

i cant remember whos blog it was, but we do play this game as a social activity, if bioware gets the ball rolling with some quality gameplay , pretty much everyone will jump ship once there friends do.
