Ah, well, there's still plenty of time left prior to the license expiring for things to change, in any case.
TOR's a no-fly zone for me, unfortunately. MMOs simply do nothing for me. It's a shame, but it is what it is. I've watched a few cutscenes, game seems cool enough to be sure.

Funnily enough, SWTOR is the only MMO that does anything for me. It was the only one that held my attention long enough for me to get to the level cap because I could basically approach it as an RPG.

That's what I came to realize as well. I had never played an MMO before, but after the first couple of planets, it gets old really fast. Go to planet, grind a hundred quests, save said planet, etc. I found the actual main story to be quite interesting, but it was surrounded by so much MMO stuff that I had to get through that first. 10-20 hours running back and forth on a planet so I could finish its fetch quests, and finally I could enjoy my reward in terms of a 20 minute main story segment.
I managed to tough out about 500 hours so I could finish my Jedi Knight's story (all side-quests on every planet included). The only thing that kept me going was the Star Wars setting and the Bioware RPG touches like dialogue and story. I'm sure if I tried something like World of Warcraft I would give up real quick.
If they had made TOR into a KOTOR 3 with multiplayer in the form of PVP (or even microtransactions like ME3), it would have been perfect. Alas, I wait... thinking about what it could be:

Seeing this made me teary 
. KOTOR was my first console game. I was 6 when I first played it...
It would have been far cheaper and probably had a better ROI too...
My dreams for a KOTOR 3 remain unfulfilled then
(SWTOR is a decent game, but I just don't like the constant grinding of MMOs, and KOTOR 1 and 2 were my childhood. What I would give to have a proper sequel...)
I doubt there will be a direct sequel because SW:TOR already continues the storyline, but I would not rule out the possibility of Bioware doing another single player RPG set in the star wars setting. Disney look like they are pushing it (and first impressions are good) so there is every chance imo.
Austin's primary duty is still TOR as far as we know, right?
They're actually working on DAI DLC to some degree. I believe they mention it in the SR cancellation memo. I'm planning to go visit them when I'm back there in September. See what's going on, and report back what I'm legally allowed to

TOR is the only MMO I've tried and let me tell you that despite the Bioware flair in some sections, it is soul-crushingly boring.
Unless you socialize, and nobody really wants to socialize.

And that's one of the more narrative oriented ones. Don't even try other mmos.
I'm a little sad about Shadow Realms. I mean, I was really hoping it would be a single player game. I would have enjoyed that. The weird azz school for your main hub. And then--from what I could understand--a kinda hoping through to different times and..well, realms. Preferably with a couple of buddies from the school with diff specs. It could have been a great SP game.

Yeah, that was a bummer. I would have loved a SP urban fantasy rpg from Bioware.
At least we have the new IP to look forward to

The same for me. If you dont view it from an mmo perspective there is a lot of hard work gone into its story and world design.
Great to see amazing games in the making by 3 studios acting as 1 team dedicated to quality and interactive storytelling #BioWare Meeting
What's the third studio? I thought it was just Edmonton and Montreal.
Edit: Oh wait, they said months ago that Austin was helping out too.

Isn't that going to be a multiplayer, though? Correct me if I am wrong but I seem to recall Casey Hudson et al. hinting at the fact during last years's E3.

Yes, I think it's some combination of multiplayer and emergent storytelling.
I don't think we'll hear much about it this year though, not until they reveal more about ME;N.

Thank you for the clarification.
Also, ackgh (yes that is a sound the human vocal chords can actually produce). I play BioWare games to spend less time around people, not more. Except for when I play ME3 multiplayer. That I play to Vanguard-Charge steal kills from people and make them angry 
I'm hateful like that.
Haven't played it (only played SP) but Dead Space 3 coop gameplay had largely positive reactions. You could not jump in Dead Space That said, I totally understand where're you coming from, I feel the same way.

Wait, where's this coming from exactly, because it sounds like Shadow Realms and I wasn't aware we had this kind of information on the new IP.

Casey's thing from E3 last year, I don't remember it exactly but he talks about being able to play stories with your friends that are different every time you play them, or something.

Well, I just rewatched the trailer thing from last E3 and he doesn't say anything like that actually. Or do you mean something else?

Ah, my mistake - it was actually Aaryn Flynn talking to Geoff Keighley in a GameTrailers livestream afterwards:

Difference between the new IP and Mass Effect:
“I think the big differentiation is that Mass Effect as an IP has amazing story and go through this universe, and alongside that a new IP lets us do things that may be has multiple stories inside it, the world is living, it is always going on. You play your stories there as they get more emergent about what you are going to do if you make friends.”
On Multiplayer in the new IP:
“Ye, hope so. That is the plan.”

Oh, okay.
Seems kinda ambiguous about what it actually means for the presence of a SP narrative so I'll reserve judgement.
Retour en haut
