From this thread I have learned that I know nothing about movies or music.

Son of a...

Mobile games are getting serious. It's weird.

I kinda like it.

Win for Moon Zero Two reference.

As much as I love Windows, I've been seriously considering Linux for awhile now. The only thing keeping me from making the jump is the lack of games... but Steam may be solving that soon... We shall see.

It was definitely a fun game, and I feel like I got my money's worth out of it. In fact, I would probably play more if the free to play restrictions weren't ludicrous... I may yet anyway, just to see what's new.

Dammit. Now I'm gonna want to buy all the Black Series figures.

I had ignored this urge to become a weird Collector type for so long...

You want this, don't you?

Take your Star Wars Black Series Figure!  Buy two and leave one mint-in-the-box!  THEN your journey to weird collector type will be complete!

Muwahaahahahahaa!

NOOOOO *turns into Comic Book Guy*

Just got the Mr. T image.

Anyone wanna play Super Stickman Golf 2?

Do we have to splitscreen?

If I get near you, you'll find my [REDACTED] in your [REDACTED], chap.

Hmm. I always got rear gunner out of it. I haven't really scrutinized the behind the seats of the Y-Wings in Star Wars in a bit, though.

Bingo, you can't be both Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford.

You're welcome, Bingo.

Episode VII: The Ridiculous Sequel

Yeah, I'm sure it was commanded from on high at EA, but still... I feel like a lot of potential was lost in that.

Well this might sound selfish but I got what I wanted, an extensive single player game with great story content and a wonderful Star War experience. As for the MMO fans, well bad luck. :)

I don't think we would get this much of storyline content in a single game if they didn't make it MMO. They couldn't sell a single player game for $200 (which I think is at least what the storyline content is worth). But with MMO and subscription they could cover their investment.

I still find it incredibly hard to justify making a (not great) MMO out of a single player game. If I was just in it for the SP, I'd be annoyed that I was having to pay extra money per month for features I didn't care about, and as a person who wanted a good MMO, I was annoyed that I paid for a single player game with derivative, crappy MMO elements.

That said, I haven't played it in ages, so it may be good now. But I'm incredibly miffed that I'll be playing it while being punished for not paying after having participating in the community since its announcement, beta-testing it, preordering it, and subscribing to it for a good amount of time. Maybe that makes me an entitled, whiny gamer, but give me some incentive to come back, don't punish me for it.

I know I'm dredging up old shit here, but on the old topic of X-Wings/Pilots/Luke/w/e, if you wanna argue the EU side, the X-Wing was originally an Incom design for the Empire. The Rebels stole some of the prototypes and then stole "several squadrons" of the production fighters right before Yavin, which makes it feel like they did indeed have more ships than pilots.

If you wanna argue straight films, it's shown in the films that Y-Wings have top turret that's controlled by someone in a rear seat. I feel like if they had more pilots (or even personnel) than ships, they'd have put people in those turrets because it would have bought the Y-Wings more time in the trench (I assume they could have taken out Vader's escort TIEs if not the man himself).

But then, of course, at the medal ceremony you see about a hundred more people in pilot gear so either they were just in training or they didn't have enough ships or the Rebels are dumb.

It's all kind of a weird situation.

This is really the best answer. Watched TRM earlier today and ALLOL'd.

I love you guys. <3

The rest of you with answers like "not at all" or "tv turned off" should really give #1 and #2 a try.

I should say I watched it again, because I also was in on the original stream. It's just brilliant.

Picked one of these up yesterday, from the new line of 6" figures.

These are amazing. I bought my girlfriend one of the Darth Maul ones, and I just had to buy another to keep mint. I have never done that in my entire life before, but these figures are just fantastic and worth it.

I see what you mean. I didn't have the problems you mentioned because I really don't care about MMO side of the game (end game PVE, PVP, interaction with other players). All I care is the single-player content (i.e. class storylines) which is great and extremely extensive. In fact I tried hard not to interact with other players, because that kind of pulls you out of the story and Star Wars universe back into the real life. So basically when I finished one character's storyline I just moved to a new character.

So in this respect SWTOR great differs from WoW. I could never play WoW because it has little to no storyline content. I really don't see fun doing some PVE/PVP stuff with other players, which WoW is all about. I would say SWTOR is primary a single-player game with a some MMO aspects.

It is one hundred percent a single-player game, which is why I'm totally baffled as to why they made it into an MMO when it wasn't built to be one.

Having played from the beginning, the class story stuff was top-notch Bioware stuff, very interesting and engaging, whereas a lot of the multiplayer MMO aspects felt dated, shoehorned in, and almost like an afterthought because a lot of them were oldhat or just didn't work from the get-go.

They should honestly have just taken all the work they did on the classes and stories and made a single-player game and left the MMO for a real MMO that would have broken some ground aside from the story aspect.

Well you have a funny hat.

Also I can't find the "I'm back" thread, so I can't explain my absence. Sorry.
