yeah, I played me some beta and I knew from the opening movie that I'd be passing. First it was way too long, and second could they have have crammed anymore boring done to death star wars tropes into that thing? pew-pew-pew, whoosh whiss, pew-pew...(vomit). And the 'cool' smuggler guy with his aussie outback hat and oilskin coat had me rolling on the floor. People who dress like that irl are openly mocked, ffs. The only thing funnier are the guys who try to dress like Spike from Buffy, especially in the summer.
And as far as the story goes, I guess if that floats your boat, then cool. I found it boring and annoying; a seemingly endless stream of quicktime events interrupting boring kill x of y.
And while I'm not a grafix whore, the low-rez cartoon vibe that works in WOW just ruins any potential immersion in TOR for me. I don't know what the technical problems are, but why can't they have graphics that scale with the machine the engine is running on?
But then again, I'm not a Star Wars fan and I only ever got my WOW character to level 23 before I quit playing that mmo, so I'm probably not the target demo. Nonetheless, I wanted to see what 1 or 2 hundred million in dev costs would create.
Still I'm glad I got to play the beta so I didn't have to drop $60 to cheggitout.
