doomjockey Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Well there goes my day. This is a shocker. I'd assumed the less than stellar reception of SW: Galaxies would've detracted heavily from the idea. Optimistically, perhaps this coming game will make use of innovative features and unique gameplay elements, the likes of which we've never seen. And Bioware will continue to produce offline KOTOR RPGs for its loyal fanbase with extras like freshly baked cookies delivered by the Easter Bunny. Kidding aside, I just hope it isn't the same old MMO formula with lightsabers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysus Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 QUOTE(Jntk @ Aug 3 2008, 11:40 PM) *they should just skip the MMO and do a proper ending to KOTOR 2 There is..But you just have to do a lot of work to really get the missing pieces of the storyline that make it make sense. lol ya... kotor 1 had the most surprising ending of all stories i played so far and i was overwhelmed and sad it was over just yet... 2 improved on all aspects but the story... with half the quests broken never to be fixed and only privateeers trying to fix robo planet and the like the series ended there for me... mmo? kiss my bum! played a few and always got bored after half a year if not killed earlier by the crazy economy or the awkward "laws" endorsed by the devs... "buy from our gold mail and be allowed to cheat... dont and we fork you how we like" or even better "ya we gave permission to botting goldsellers to be our official partner... live with it" SCREW MMOS! basicly a good idea (communicate and adventure with people of all kinds of cultures... "wisdom spread") but companies destroy the fun like always...and since lucas arts are a company theyll screw it for sure... georgy just became too senile imo so ill rather just venture outside and get srewed by reallife instead of some malaysian virtual emperor... :banana: <--- aint she cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herosinger Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Very disappointing indeed. I certainly won't be buying it. By the way, for those that don't know, a mod for KotOR II is in the works that will restore all the cut content. It's been in the works for over two years, but it's finally nearing completion. Bug testing is all that remains.http://www.team-gizka.org/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reepimeister Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 With SWG being such a failure in its final hours, I think Lucas Arts got a bit desperate for an MMO to pick it up and try again. They weren't gonna get SOE in on it, after their decline in popularity. They weren't gonna keep it to the film timezone. KOTOR time is just the next best thing. I'll be buying this and playing it for at least a short time. But I imagine it'll be soon after when the developers decide to bring about another single player one. This isn't so much KOTOR 3, if I'm right, but a chance for players to get freely involved in the SW universe during those pretty nifty times.

herosinger Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I make a general rule not to pay for a video game more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo man Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 I make a general rule not to pay for a video game more than once.Not even games with branching story lines like the KOTOR series, or Deus Ex? You're seriously missing out on some great stuff, but hey, unto each his own I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfDeadguy Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I can understand that LA wants to distance itself from SWG by banking on a title that got rave reviews, but KOTOR should still get a proper sequel. One that has a beginning, a middle, and *gasp* an end. KOTOR2 was great (still loads better than any of the movie prequels), but it had no ending- just a boss battle and a transition cutscene. Nobody who watched that sequence expected the credits to roll; they expected a final goodbye that would at the very least tell them who lived and who died. Cut-off cliffhangers do not a series finish. MMOs do not good sequels make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
