However, I must say that I\'m glad I didn\'t buy it. I\'m pretty sure that my life, as I know it, would be over come tomorow. Within one month I\'ll bet I would be broke, hungry, jobless, and leeching off friends and family to survive, and get my daily SWG fix.

How can you say that when all the reviews are almost wholly positive, the features and graphics outdoo the MMORPGs out there today, and the game doesn\'t even come out untill tomorow?

Last time I got into an MMORPG I failed a class.... so I\'ve got to avoid one that\'s getting such good reviews... and in the SW universe (right up my alley).

Post by: mm on June 26, 2003, 02:14:17 AM: reviews are positive? from who the beta testers?

pfffftt

i played for 3 days and stopped, it was boring as poop

my friends stayed on till the end just to cause as much havoc as they could

gameplay? what gameplay? the game is SEVERELY flawed

and extremely responsive and responsive teams working on the game all the time.

yeah, right. this is a SoE run title just like EQ. that means no per server GM\'s and waiting 12 hours for problem resolution

the NDA was lifted the other day, go read what the beta testers have to say

heh. i have yet to find one positive review for this game. please, read the follwing interesting reviews, wich says it all:

http://content.guru3d.com/article.php?cat=gamereviews&id=49

and if you are looking for more MMORPG addict reviews, comment, read the following thread:

http://www.fohguild.org/forums/showthread.php?threadid=7769

i am not buying SW:G. the promise behind a MMO game is that you buy a completed game, and pay monthly fee to the compagny so that they can further develop the game and the server and the bandwith.

with SW:G, you pay for the box, wich ship a totaly unfinish product, and your monthly fees go to pay the programmer so they can finish the original product wich you already paid for.

anyway, why play a Star wars game, when you cant even do wars, or do space ? pffff~

it\'s everquest with laser... to bad EQ is 5 years old.

p.s.: sorry for linkuing other forum.

Post by: tricky on July 03, 2003, 12:14:01 PM: Pains me to say it but I have to agree with mm, I started in beta2 and "tried" to play as much as possible. What a cack game!, boring as hell.
