SWTOR & GW2 Quest!
I’m on a quest! A quest for information. I am in search of blogs that talk about Star Wars The Old Republic and Guild Wars 2. I want to soak up as much information as I can about these games and the views of fellow bloggers. I want to hear your voices. Do you have a blog you follow that talks about these games and I don’t have them linked on my blog roll? If so, I need your help. I want to start keeping track of what you have to say and your blog buddies. Damn it, I need to know!
Before Bane
I finally read my first Star Wars book. I read Darth Bane Path of Destruction, by Drew Karpyshyn. It was a pretty good book. I’m not going to review it or anything, I just have a few thoughts about the Star Wars universe. Being my first Star Wars book, I am a bit confused by the lore and timeline. There wasn’t much confusion in Darth Bane. It was a well thought out story and it had enough background so I didn’t get lost. I haven’t played Knights of the Old Republic, so I am pretty ignorant of the timeframe. The only Star Wars I have ever been exposed to is the movies. I refuse to read any books around the time of the movies. O have a hard time with the way I visualize the characters and the characters from the movies. My inner vision conflicts with the faces from the movie, so I can’t enjoy myself. I pop out of my reading state and get distracted by what I remember of the movie. That is why I will not read any of those books. I do admit, I would like to read the book where Luke Skywalker turns evil, but I have no idea what book that is. Oh, and I would like to read the one he dies in.
What if SWTOR sucks?
So many of us are banking on Star Wars The Old Republic to be a good game. I won’t even say great. We are just looking for a game that will take us out of the trance we are in now. Most likely, most of us bloggers will only play it for a couple months and find a new shinie MMO to hype over. We are addicted to the hype of these games, not actually playing them. Yeah, we have one game we go to bed with every night just to lull us to sleep, but we are not as excited about it as the hype train. So, what if SWTOR sucks? What will we do then? Will we keep playing out security MMO or quit MMOs cold turkey?
SWTOR: E3 Pros
Yesterday, I wrote about the CONS I thought could hurt Star Wars The Old Republic. I seriously take those Cons with a grain of salt. I’m turning into a fanboi. I’m breaking out the Yoda Underoos and Luke Skywalker sleeping bag. For the next year, this game will have my full attention. I’m no Darth Hater or Moon over Endor, but I feel the love for SWTOR. I have a list of exciting features announced or things I noticed at E3 this year. The trailer was awesome, but what is to come from SWTOR is amazing.
PROS:
SWTOR: The Fourth Element
As you can see, I have Star War The Old Republic on my brain. After watching E3 video after video, a few key things popped out at me. I want to talk about 1 thing that stuck in my head, the “Holy Trinity”. MMO Gamer Chick talk about how she just realized, how much she enjoys the Trinity. SWTOR seems to be going down the road of the three. In their interviews they mention flexability and the classic roles of DPS, Tank, and Healer. They also mention a fourth element. A function of MMOs that have been around since the begining, but nerfed and forgotten in the Age of WoW. There once was a “Holy Quatro” and maybe, SWTOR can bring that 4th back?
SWTOR: E3 Impressions
Lastnight, I watched all the Star Wars The Old Republic E3 videos. Needless to say, the game is everything I’ve always wanted. Just like the name of the new trailer, I “Hope” it is as good as they say it is. Through the years of watching the hype machine crash into brick walls on release, I am keeping my excitement in check. I have the urge to go to BioWare’s headquarters and beg to play the game, but I have to keep myself composed. SWTOR has more than a year before it is released, I’m not sure I can control myself that long. The only way I can do that is pick apart details of the game. I made up a list of Pros and Cons to help me focus. This first post I will focus on the Cons. Check back later for the huge list of Pros.
