I don’t understand why people get so pissed off when a game is delayed. I mean, would you rather play it now and have the unfinished game crash and burn, or would you rather wait longer for them to perfect it and get it just right so you can enjoy it all the more and play it even longer?

Judging from the KotOR series, its going to be amazing, so don’t take them pushing it back as a bad thing, but as a good thing as it gives them more time to polish and perfect it.

They rushed – I think but am not certain – KotOR 2 and look what happened there. It was good, but was likey to glitch and mess up at random times. For me it messed up right after the cute little astromech droid gets zapped by the HK51 near the start on Peragus, and although I found my way around that glitch, it was still annoying.

So don’t get angry and annoyed when they delay it. Even though I’m a Sith to the bone this warrants Jedi words. Patience, young padawan. *Yoda voice*

Just my 2- um, 4 cents ^_^

With rushed mmo “failures” like STO & FFXIV why do people still get upset when a company says its delayed the launch of its game?

Personally, I’d rather wait a bit longer and be blown away by SWTOR than have it come out too soon and completely bite the big one. Of all the major titles & players coming out with their new games or expansions, I’ve looked forward to this one the most. And I’m willing to wait a bit longer to ensure that its as good as I hope it is.

I was like a 5 year old in a candy store when Final Fantasy XIV online came out last year, only to be horrified at how bad it was. Classic example of a company rushing to launch a game way before they were ready. It wasn’t even really a Beta yet… Final Fantasy XI was my favorite to-date, but the latest online version broke my heart and I even though we can still play for free while Square Enix fixes it, I haven’t had to the heart to return.

DON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WITH SWTOR! PLEASE GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME… [somewhere in the world, a fairy dies when a mmo is released before its time. Don't kill the fairies!!!]

Oh yeah, the only reason they are probably postponing the release date is because the game is taking more time than expected to finish due to its HUGE awesomeness that it is going to be!!:D

This game is going to be so amazing that they are making sure that everything is perfect before they crush the gaming industry!! I play Eve Online right now and I plan to quit if SWTOR is as good as it looks:D

I HIGHLY doubt they are running from WoW’s expansion or STO. STO looks horrible and like some guy said earlier, the ST and SW fans are totally different. There is no way that people who truly love SW are going to play STO over SWTOR!! I am a HUGE SW fan and even though I loved the ST:Voyager serie, it certainly doesn’t mean I’d pick STO over SWTOR!!

I can’t wait to make a Jedi and kick some Sith ass!!

Bioware state on their site if you go look that it is goign to be released after 31st March. This means anytime from 1st April up until the end of the world. Oh well, just sit back and wait and get on the forums

enjoy.

Star Trek was an interesting series. i enjoyed it for a while but the game STO was so broken and half-ass. i could come up with something better with my eyes closed and my hands tied behind my back. Star Wars mmo based off of STKOTOR was something i had been dreaming of since the first kotor came out. (something far greater than SW galaxies or STO)

@Mega Troll

I both beta’d STO and played it. Please give me a break. That game was simply rushed. Pure and simple in the same way Cryptic studios does with all their games. They rush to turn out alpha and then spend the next 2 years updating to make better. STO is a MMO in the barest of terms. Graphics means nothing compared to game play. Crafting was ridiculous, much like Cryptic’s Champions. Sorry but your bias is silly at best

@carl branananalewski
The Star Wars Movies may only have 12 hours but the expanded universe is actually as big if not bigger than Star Trek. There are the games, KotOR series, Dark Forces and Jedi Knight series. The Old Republic also has comic books which go even deeper into the times before Revan and other clone wars comics as well as stories from after Luke’s time. There are also tons of books from all eras, post Return of the Jedi up until Luke and Han are old men, books between all the movies and pre-Phantom Menace as far back as the life of Darth Bane. Just because you’ve only seen the movies and don’t like the animated stuff doesn’t mean it’s not a fleshed out fiction. Star Trek is great too but it never felt as deep to me, Star Wars has the depth of 30,000 years of history that, for me at least, sort of brings the whole thing to life.

wow is only good because its been running so long. they have had plenty of time to tweek things and fix errors.try playing it for 3 yrs or more. its old news. even now the stam over all is stacked too high. it takes too damn long to kill someone. look at dps gear… the stam is aprox double the dps stat depending on what class u r playing. because of this pvp combat almost never ends. also in order to like STO u either have to be extremely easily amused, hardcore ST fan or both. i take pride in knowing what is actually good and what is not. id have way more fun playing snake or pacman.

Star trek as a franchise has like 5000 hours of shows and movies compared to star wars’ 12 hours (that animation shet dont count). Lol at the “star trek sucks” chat. Go watch star trek and play STO, it’ll take you 3 years to watch all the episodes alone. Also STO doesn’t suck, TOR won’t ever be released, ewoks are dumb, 2012 is real

better no, bigger yes, wow has alot of history and smooth game play but right now its nothing more than a grind…will this be a wow killer most likely not but it will definatly be around when wow is dead which by the way isnt to far off. 3 more expansions and they are letting it go

Look wow will eventually fall but star trek is terrible and everyone thinks that swtor is going to be better yea maybe a couple hundred will go to swtor from wow but the will still be thousands or even millions on wow but seriously wow is so much better

By: Jagoss

Jagoss — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 22:23:04 +0000

Really? Running from Star Trek Online? STO I cannot even really call a mmo..it’s a disgrace..and really..what do you expect. Cryptic Studios made it. I mean they copied even the same chat system. While playing I could contact My peeps from Champions since they use the exact same chat server.

Come on..

Ok WTF, Star wars is way better than Star Trek, and yes they have been competing since the 70s. But seriously, using this time to improve on the graphics is a good idea, Ive seen bad comments about SW:TOR, everyone hates it, but me I love it!

Star trek will fall for my opinion, the graphics on it is the worst Ive seen yet. Its worse than WoW and SWG NGE Combined.

Overall, SW:TOR beats WoW and Star Trek.

Alright, personally rather have a game come out when its ready rather than when we want it. Ive been keeping up to date on the newest modifications and all I can say is what is this white stuff thats soaking my pants? Graphics are perfect guess this guy was watching the alpha intro for the bounty hunter. MY GOD THATS WHY ITS ALPHA. It looks alot like Kotor2 graphics only better which to say the least is what this genre needs. Im sick of all the pretty games that run like crap and have no desire for great character development and storyline. Every class has its own storyline its like playing kotor2 with every class every choice matters on your treck with the dark/light side. All classes are even and beautiful. And they took a tip from RIFT and made their character creation alot like theirs in terms of choice. I can play a bounty hunter thats a tank or whip out the really special gadgets and cause some serious dps. Fully voiced is sweet as well I mean every person I talk to every last one will have a voice will have a soul and that in itself makes the game more enjoyable. Have you seen the space combat? imagine star fox on crack. Finally when I want to craft its not a chore i can have my crewmates do it and they can also craft as well even when Im not logged on. Companions that follow you are enhanced pets every class is a pet class and each compaion is a detailed and deep character with its own thoughts and ideas. I know Im going on and on but this game has it all folks I wouldnt mind paying 20-30 bucks a month to play this bioware deserves my money unlike all the other coperate shit companys out there to deliver a low quality product.

Hey!!! How about a BSG or B5 MMO as long as we are getting all torquey about which one is or will be the best?!?! It’s fantasy people and it’s meant to be fun and entertaining depending on what you are looking for. Let’s not take ourselves too seriously. I am a fan of both SW and ST and they both have their place. Neither one is meant for everyone and I don’t think they should try to be. This was the problem with SWG when they dumbed it down for mass appeal. I like STO and while there are improvements to be made, I don’t want to appeal to everyone! It is genre specific and if you don’t like it then don’t buy it thinking you’re going to get something different. TOR fans should consider this…good in a trailer and good in real life are 2 different things or have you forgotten Episode 1 and 2. I am looking forward to TOR and hope it’s everything that Galaxies was suppose to be before it was raped, pillaged and left for dead.

Running from Star Trek Online? You have GOT to be kidding. Star Trek Online is nothing like Star Trek. It’s a disgrace to the franchise. SWTOR is moving the release date to 2011 so it can please the Star Wars fans and so it WON’T be as bad as Star Trek online.

Of all the games I have and will play, Bioware makes the best.

I have complete faith that they will take these few extra months to make the game BETTER than i’m sure it already is.

i think swtor is going to be a new experience for players because of the voice your character has and the choices you mkae decide everything for instance i was on youtube watchinvidsabout it and instead of choosing to save the captain he killed him and that will change many things later on such as 1. a new captain 2.diffrent quests 3. diffrent quests meen it has a wave affect 4 who your character will meet after you are done with that line of quests 5. the rewards you get from quests 6.whether or not u choose sith or republic and many other things and to the person who said there more pve if u play swg theres actualy alot of pvp (swg is no where near as good as swtor just an example

1. graphics are crappy to allow for ppl with crappy computers to play, u think bioware wud make a game with crap graphics for no reason, look at me1 and me2 peopl!

2.too many mmo’s cumin out at the same time, so they change release date, its to profit more from swtor, im not saying bioware are cheap guys that want muny, because they got bought by ea and r still humble, its just a simple buisness thing any1 in ther position wud do

willy — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 19:00:28 +0000

swtor looks great the graphics arent gona be like call od duty they will probably be the same as wow but its not going to compete with wow cause in swtor its mainly an pve type of game instead of wow where they mainly focus on pvp but i think its going to be good they have spent 5 years on it..

Yes wow will inevitably fall, but Blizz is pretty good at figuring out what will keep people coming back and paying. Say what you want about the game but you cannot argue with the sheer number of players is has. And Cataclysm was such a huge reset of the game it is almost more a sequel than an expansion. Nevertheless, I will drop WoW like a bad habit when swtor comes out. Then it will be up to BioWare to keep me playing swtor and I have faith they will.

ryan — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 21:34:43 +0000

Dude i freakin love star wars and star treck or whatever can seriously shove themselves tht game is for pricks and swtor would and will kick its ass but WOW is a force to be recond with very stable for such a long period of time but eventualy WOW will fall.

Take as long as you need BIOWARE. Please, because if there is one moment where I find myself upset with the game. I’m going to be upset. So take your time and make sure space doesn’t suck a$$… Yes, I play SWG.

this article hits on the graphics.. its in the process of being created, they aren’t going to show the really good stuff yet. and look at other mmo’s. they’re trying to get a fantasy style with a side of realism in the graphics. I think for an mmo the graphics are fine, that way if people have shit computers they can still join the game. aka, larger amount of people playing, more people on the servers to raid/pvp with and in general make the game a better experience.

First off anyone who doubts that STO is a good game or it’s depth either knows nothing about MMO’s and games in general, or is so blinded by the fact that they only like Star Wars “and thats all fine and dandy as u can like or dislike what ever u want” that they deny the truth of the matter and thats its a well put together game with amazing graphics, and its battle system, along with PVP and create ur own content has sold its name well and is here to stay along with reduced prices of the games and user friendlyness puts it well above the mark of most MMO”S, but here is my point Yeah i like star wars, and yeah i like Star Trek, and i know that just the fact the SWTOR being fully voiced will make it a better game, but doubting STO or it’s worth as a game is just foolish!!
