Hey Dan!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the show. I was hoping that people might enjoy listening to me ramble about topical discussions instead of just about the latest game I’m playing. So hearing that you actually enjoyed the show really made my day!!

As far as Battlefield goes? Yeah, I probably should give it another go. Tell ya what, how about you and I get together some time and I’ll let you show me why it’s such an awesome game? Deal?

And again, sincere thanks for checking it out!

Heya Brig!

Bloody brilliant show. Loved the discussion on everything, and in particular on the news of 38 Studios.

Look forward to the next show and love that you’re embracing the console experience. Not so happy that you’re not on the Battlefield as much, but hey c’est la vie!

Cheers bud,

Dan

My half dollar:

I like the game. I like it more than WoW. If it was out when I was playing WoW before I would have left WoW for it. It’s in my gaming DNA. I like immersion. I like feeling like my character is an extension of myself into the matrix of a game. WoW had and loss that feeling for me.

I like that I can pick up SWTOR, play it for 30 minutes or hours on end and feel satisfied. I did not get that from WoW. I like that I don’t have to group up to do every thing. Yes, there are quest that you need to group up to do, out level to do, or just skip all together. So SWTOR does have quest that need grouping to get the job done. The proof is in my mission log that is full of Heriocs I wanted to do but could not get a group together at the time to do. I moved on knowing I would return later. MY odd play hours make it even worst for me.

The character creation is very good. I agree with you there.

The distance for questing. Got news for ya. Luke walked part of the freaking dessert.Get over it. It’s the Star Wars way. Only on certain planets, namely Hoth and Belsavis did I feel like travel was a burden. The size of most plant zones in SWTOR can encompass 2 -3 zones in other games. I just stop and smell the Jawas along the way. Perhaps this adds to the lonely feeling too.

I’ve not done PVP. I most likely will at some point, but it’s just not my cup of tea. I know WoW put a very bitter pill in my stomach for it.

As far as getting to the end of the game. This is where my thinking may vary greatly from yours. What is the end of a MMORPG? Is there suppose to be a finally? Is this suppose to be like Mario saves the Princess and now it’s game over, you can repeat level 8 as much as you like now? Do our characters grow grey and old, soon retiring or finally suffering that ultimate death? Is the end game that last bounty? The largest one in the galaxy, once collected your set for life. I don’t know. I do know I’m not treating SWTOR like WoW, mostly a second job to get to a point to fight the big bad boss that is trying to destroy every thing. Everyone is not meant to do that.

Yes, I am looking for a game that is enjoyable and that I don’t feel like I have to rush through to play what is considered, and really is, a game within the game. I’m happy. It is the game I was looking for.

Lemme give you a piece of advice. Don’t ever try reviewing games professionally. If this is how you do it, it’s not even worth the effort. This poor excuse for a “review” is a trainwreck. It picks up rehashed hyperbole and is full of factually false points (geared towards single player? You may have missed just how much content that requires more players there is. Actually, let’s remove the “may”).

But after all, what can one expect from someone that “reviews” a game with a 7 days trial?
