Limited Copies of SWTOR at Launch

admin — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 04:31:34 +0000

We have written frequently about SWTOR and many of the problems associated with the game such as the poor SWTOR graphics and terrible space gameplay.

But EA, LucasArts and BioWare has made what could be a fatal mistake. There will be a cutoff of initial sales. This is primarily because of server limitations but turning away paying customers is always a bad idea.

In addition the game will be limited geographically and throttled depending on your location. Even if you have pre-ordered there is no guarantee that you will be allowed in initially.

The fact that EA is promoting this information is a money grab or perhaps they realize the game is set to bomb.

No official release date has been announced although it will be sometime in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Check out the below high definition video about Huttball in Star Wars the Old Republic. The video is about 3 minutes long. Check it out below.

Funny Video Review: Assassins Creed Brotherhood

admin — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 05:02:03 +0000

Below is a really funny video review of the Assassins Creed Brotherhood massively multiplayer online role playing game. The video is about 5 minutes long and points out that although the Assassins Creed Brotherhood MMORPG has several good points to it, it is really Assassins Creed II repackaged. The reviewer affectionately refers to the game as “Ass Creed”.

Although the game is funny it quickly gets boring and becomes completely up to chance as to who can randomly spawn closer and more about having others do your killing and earning money than the actual fun parts of the game. The game is in desperate need of a good single player campaign. Check out the video below.

SWTOR to be the Greatest Failure in History of MMOs – says EA Employee & Lackluster Closed Beta Feedback

admin — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 05:05:14 +0000

I have been saying it since the begining. The Star Wars the Old Republic massively multiplayer online role playing game from Bioware is in big trouble. First it was the Sucky Graphics in SWTOR, then the fact that Space Combat in SWTOR Looks Like Shit.

Now I am getting some serious backup to my breaking claims. Initial limited closed beta feedback is not good. The players are not happy and are very dissapointed. Now a claim from an EA employee saying that the game will be a huge failure:

“They’ve spent more money making the Old Republic than James Cameron spent on Avatar. Shit you not. More than $ 300 million! Can you believe that? And you know what they’re most proud of? This is the kicker. They are most proud of the sound. No seriously. Something like a 20Gig installation, and most of it is voiceover work. That’s the best they have. The rest of the game is a joke. EA knows it and so does George Lucas, they’re panicking, and so most of Mythic has already been cannibalized to work in Austin on it because they can’t keep pushing back launch. Old Republic will be one of the greatest failures in the history of MMOs from EA….”
