And Now for Something Completely Different

Posted by Ali on December 9th, 2011 @ 17:42All,
For those of you that have made the jump and pre-ordered The Old Republic from Amazon, I have some good news.
You can now download the game client so that you are ready to play the moment it launches! And with early access invites being sent out from 13th of December it will be a very merry Christmas.
And for those of you that didn’t pre-order, you can suck it.
That is all,
Ali
Whoops!

A Call to Arms
Posted by Ali on November 5th, 2011 @ 12:15All,
Well the time has arrived. Phase 3 (Deployment) of the SWTOR guild launch process has begun.
And none of you p****s are anywhere to be seen…
I understand it is a MMO and you aren’t sure you want to invest the time it will require. Sure, it is not being released in Oz at launch and you will have to order from OS (which will probably be cheaper anyway) and play in a US server. Yes, I am aware that there are some solid titles around (BF3, Skyrim, Diablo 3) that will be competing for your love.
I know all this and I don’t care.
The Old Republic is going to be the digitial equivalent of getting a b******b from God and you all know it, so this is what you need to do.
1. If you haven’t already joined SNAP Dark , head over to the SWTOR Guild HQ and join up.
2. Go and pre-order the game online. Amazon is a good start, I am sure there are others out there too.
3. Cancel any plans you had for Christmas.
That is all,
Ali
Fellow SNAP Dark(ers), we have been assigned a server – Hyperspace Cannon!
See you online real soon.
Riiiiight.
The verdict is very positive in my book.
Graphics – Yes they are a little cartoony but like with WoW, that is deliberate so as to allow lower end systems to run. I also think it wont age as badly as if they went top end. Most importantly I think it captures the feel of SW very well.
Sabres – You didnt play through very far by the sounds. You do get one pretty quickly into the main story arc.
Sith vs Jedi – To each there own but I have actually enjoyed playing a “light-side” bounty hunter. Good sarcastic humour available in the conversation choices.
Combat – Standard MMORPG fare. Although I think it would benefit from an auto-attack option (I was pressing 1 a lot even by MMO standards.
Story – Look svery cool and keeps you well engrosed in the quests rather than just asking “what do I kill and how many?”.
Beat me to the punch. There goes my weekend.
With this and Skyrim, Battlefield 3 is now living up to its name sake…
Soon Will Take Over Reality
I often worry about your posts Rammy, but that my friend was gold.
*Sigh*
So despite my rule about not rewarding mediocrity, I have relented to peer pressure and bought BF3.
Rammy, it’s all your fault…
So have they fixed any of the issues from the Beta (i.e the lobby, not being able to access the menu if dead etc)?
Don’t worry Andy. The Old Republic will run on your machine.
I presume that is still on Beta? I won’t automatically rule it out but they do need to fix the bugs, the clumsy lobby system, the menu that is only available when alive…
