The Old Republic NDA Officially Lifted
Much like the Jedi, you were deceived. I was in the beta test all along! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I wish to join the DISCIPLES OF HATRED.
FOR LORD JOE!!!
all shall bow to lord joe
hey. i sent an app in to the sith guild. how long tell i should find out if i got in? just wondering.
I have a guild called The Guild of Undying Light but no on is joining so maybe i’ll go to Spoony’s
http://www.swtor.com/guilds/33341/guild-undying-light
I saw Lisa Foilles and thought “Yeah she’s back!” and then You comment that you made this a while back so she’s not back so sadness. I have my own guild
http://www.swtor.com/guilds/33341/guild-undying-light
but no one is joining. If I can’t get anyone in i am going to Spoony’s Expendables
Too bad you’re both on the wrong side of the great pond
But latency and timezones make it impossible to get over there.
Sorry guys, I’ve already gotten a clan invite.
I would go with Jedi based on virtue of the fact that we wouldn’t be compelled to kill each other like the Sith seem wont to do all the time…
You know there is a problem when you make a video in Ãœber-HD and then compress it down to 100MB. It’s going to look like crap!
That’s beside the fact that I can’t play it in the flash player on my oldish computer and thus had to download it. I’m pretty sure many other people will have the same problem with this one.
Oh hell yeah, Lisa Foils, god I missed her. Hm? Oh yeah the game right, that’s cool to.
I am going to skip this game. The only MMO I play is City of Heroes and I rarely play that anymore. Bioware should have used all of the money that went into making this game and make 2 or 3 more sequels with co-op features. Monthly subscriptions are thing of the past anyways. More and more companies are making their MMOs free to play. Another problem I have is Bioware’s bread and butter is telling good stories and single player experience. Trying to put that into a MMO is a terrible idea.
Horrible idea? Well if no one tries unusual and sometimes crazy ideas there isn’t going to be much original content on the market. AN idea may sound awesome to some, it may sound like shit to others.
Now pretend it’s 2005(or something). Do you think that an idea of a game where you shoot portals out of your gun while being taunted by an AI, and NOT killing anything(except a few turrets) has a place outside an indie title? Hint: it might have. And even if you do think it has, a great majority of people would disagree with you. Would kind of suck if devs like Valve sticked to tried and true formulas wouldn’t it?
If people won’t try to do new shit than you can start anticipating the fifty-seventh installment of CoD.
And before you start typing hate responces i did not mean this guy is wrong for not wanting to pay a subscription or anything else troll like.(I’ve seen people on the internet Interpreting a sentence like “I like cats” as”I skullfucked your mother” ) I just stated that one shouldn’t have problems with odd sounding ideas for a video game.(I cannot believe i just typed that)
So, Joe, for how long afterwards were you picking the scenery from your teeth? That was just way too awesome to handle.
Star Wars: The Old Republic looks really cool they have a great story,setup,graicths,etc… but the dont side for me i that is a MMO RPG don’t get me wrong it’s a good ideia and makes for really good and ingading gameplay its the fact that people that likes more videogame consoles will be left of this game.I’m saying this because my PC suck at this type of games like a lot this cod be like DC UNIVERSE in consoles too.Well just have to wait Joe review of this game….OH great video by the way Joe onlly frame rate drops are kind of annoying but no problem ^^
Oh dear God, your grammar is just awful. I can’t bring myself to put that nicely, sorry.
On a related note, people way to often in cooperate the graphical capabilities of the game to determine wither or not their PC can run it.
In most cases, it doesn’t matter how ‘good’ the game looks. What does matter is how well the developer programmed the game to handle. For example, Torchlight, that game requires good computer specs to run well, that’s right Torchlight, not exactly triple A graphics. In contrast, other games like Modern Warfare can run just fine on computers that can’t handle Torchlight.
From my personal experience, my laptop can handle Grand Theft Auto 4 on max settings, beast I know, but Minecraft, freaking Minecraft, well, if I walk for 5 minutes it will crash.
Also, SWTOR graphics isn’t good, no pixel pushing there, what your thinking about is the Aesthetics, well, I don’t like them but others do.
I don’t know what are “good PC standarts” where you live.(no offence intended) But torchlight can run on a goddamn toaster. A friend on mine could run it on a past decade PC.
And to Ayzard:
I read on the TOR website that they decided on the current aesthetics to keep the system specs low so as much people as possible could play it. So unless we are talking Pentium 3 , there should be a chance for you to run it. Maybe not on the highest settings, but still.
I’ll get to joining a side when you guys stop releasing fucking videos so massive that no matter how I watch it there’s lag and frame rate issues. Think about your fans with systems that aren’t as marvelous as yours >[
Sorry, Star Wars: The Old Republic is dead to me, when BioWare decided to make a shameless World of Warcraft clone and then nerve of claiming it’s the right thing to do.
The only MMO I’ll be playing is Guild Wars 2.
But for now… Dark Souls baby! Wooooo!
^_^ Somebody call Brad and Phelous! It’s Troll 4!
Say anything negative about the game automatically makes me a troll? It wasn’t even critique, I was stating my opinion about BioWares poor choice of development.
I really hope you play and stay with SWTOR, that way, the games I do enjoy with other people will have less people of your maturity.
OH-oh-oh!
“the games I do enjoy with other people will have less people of your maturity.” No, no they won’t. Youtube(and many other) comments are always equally filled with:”GW2 is best > TOR GAY!” and vise versa posts. Both games will be stuck with douchebags.
And i heard that when this project was starting LucasArts ordered a WoW clone to capitalize. Bioware did try to innovate as much as possible with MMO story etc. You got Lucas to thank for the WoW similarities.
Aw honey, it was a joke. Need an icepack?
^_^ You want a critique? OK, here goes:
1) Fun video as always, Angry Joe!
2) This part is redundant, but I think a subscription is necessary for a story based game. FTP games omit significant parts and privileges to keep the game free. I’d hate to play my Imperial agent story, then hit a wall and can’t progress unless I pay 10$.
3) More redundant. Do graphics mean anything, really? Sure, some of the limited char creations, and some of the NPC designs are . . . .rather. . . off. But I agree with Extra Credits assertion that Aesthetics are what make the game, and the variety of environments and genuine personalities and fantastic music always make a great game any day, rendering lame pixels forgettable.
4) Let’s be honest, sir. Comparing an MMO to WoW shows lack of thought. Is it a grindfest like Runes of Magic? Is it repetitive like Dungeon Fighter? Or does it create a freeworld like Eve? Or enjoyable grouping like Dungeon Fighter or Champions Online. See my point? Even if you don’t believe me, feel free to check it out on the swtor forums, there are many many threads.
^_^ So there you go. Do whatever you wish, Zodiac. But while you wait for Guild Wars, my husband, my baby, and I are going to fight alongside Spoony and the Repulbic. Ta da!
Oh , hai Lisa ! :3
I loved Lisa’s unimpressed reaction.
I would join you Joe, so we could kick Spoony Wan’s Zelda hating ass, but I’m too much of a goodie good to become a sith and I’m probably not going to get the game.
Sorry guys, Not getting this game. The monthly subscription instantly turned me off, which is a pity because it looks freakin’ awesome. It’s Guild Wars 2 for me.
Yep, subscriptions are a downer.
I’ve never actually noticed how much Joe looks like Carlton from Fresh Prince.
Umm….yeah, sorry Spoony and Joe, I’m just not cut out to be in a position to choose sides. It’ll just bring me to a point that I’ll switch sides repeatedly when it comes to who is winning in forum discussions and such.
So yeah I’m not joining on anyone’s side. I’m better off as a smuggler – avoiding these conflicts involving two famous personalities battling each other to get everyone’s attention. Besides, I have my own cookies and I got a dental appointment next year so I’m cool. I’m sure Joe’s Sith Empire has the best cookies to eat, but in Toronto Canada, I am okay to buy my set of cookies anyday
.
Good luck to you both (enjoy killing each other with your lightsaber toys you bought from Toy ‘R’ Us…HAHAHA!)
Joe, what’s with the terrible frame rate on your latest 2 videos?
I agree the frame rate drops to the point where it looks like a slide show…I had to watch this funny video on youtube instead
FWIW, the frame rate looks fine on my end.
If I had a kick ass PC and could afford the Subscription based system of this I would be Sith all the way! All Hail Joe!
Screw the Sith,the Jedi and the Force,too! These people have been using this medium to tear the Galaxy apart for milennia. It’s time to invoke a higher power. It’s time to summon the awesome power of….
YOR’S WORLD.HE’S THE MAN!
Seriously,after I’m done with Skyrim I’ll get the Old Republic and join the Disciples of Hatred.
No go Joe or go home muhahahahaha!
Sorry, Spoony. I love your videos but…
*lightsaber stab*
… I’m a darksider.
well…I think my allegience is quite obvious
aww I wanted to see boobies
this was going well till mickey showed up
No way, 8-bit Mickey is awesome. In fact, he’s 8-bit winning!
Hmm sorry Joe. Lover your reviews and stuff, but I’ve never been able to play darkside stuff for long.
Gotta side with Spoony here.
I had to point this out. Isn’t it sad that their lightsaber fighting looked better than the fey dancing they were doing in Episode 1 until the big end fight started?
This video is proof that blond, attractive women are the purest evil.
Well, i wish i could join your ranks joe, but sadly i cannot. i already have a guild in place with several members and i could not abandon my leader. We are korribans guard and if we are in the same pvp server look us up. I can’t wait to see you all in december and spoony-wan beware………
Attempting a mind trick on Lisa (Foiles)? Fools, both of you. They only work on the weak minded, remember? And Darth Joe, you have made a wise choice on your Master (Mistress?), for I know no one wiser in all ways of the force than Lisa.
Join The Spoony Expendables today and help shape the future of the galaxy.
http://www.swtor.com/guilds/249558/spoony-expendables
We need you! Wait, no, we don’t NEED you… but we want you. We’re already strong but with your help, we can grow even stronger!
Well I know what server I’m playing on! I look forward to conquering the Galaxy with you Joe.
I was very excited to see it at first, then I saw a demo arena match…
It’s so slow and no one does any damage. A freaking consular just standing there tanking 3 duel-wield sentinels, right…
if I repent myself can we bash and laugh at Final Fantasy together, Spoony ?!?
i’m not getting SWTOR sens personaly i don’t think hotkey-mmos fits a game set in space.
and really WoW did hotkey-mmos falwlessly and it is hard for me to see SWTOR beaing better than WoW. and saying SWTOR has a suppriour story might keep you playing 2-3 months but if the gameplay is not there you will stop playing
I tried the thing and trust me : it has a better gameplay. everything is just much smoother and faster, your character reacts like… now. it’s reactive and it makes the game pacing much more appealing than WoW.
PvP is superiour also : it doesn’t care about your level, everything is made so your simple and pure skill prevail from stats. it kicks WoW asses on every single points.
Wow, you actually did 4 MMO posts this week. I didn’t think BT cared enough to do that.
Well i would join you joe, but i’m not really that intrigued by The Old Republic…
Honestly, what I love at the beginning is that Spoony doesn’t even really seem that surprised by anything Joe does anymore. He even carries a lightsaber around just in case…
Speaking of which, I’ll be following in the footsteps of the Jedi Order. We know there is good in all things.
I’m in pain!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111
Priceless!
Is it just me or was there tremendous video lag?
I also had a lot of video lag to the point where the entire thing was a stop motion video for me.
Joe this time I have to betray you… I’m a Jedi inside.
I have applied for the Disciple of Hatred…. The sith empire will rule the galaxie
Don’t give in to the dark side… the light side have better dental.
The light side may have dental, but the dark side has cookies.
You’ll regret eating those cookies without good dental… one day we will laugh at your gums! Better yet, join the Light Side, beat up the Dark Side, steal their cookies… win win ^^
Beating people up and stealing their snacks, how very light side.
Don’t give in to the hatred… give in to snarkiness! Join Spoony today! We want you!
Ok, you win. I have seen the light (that and the fact that my application for Spoony’s guild went through first)
Another strength of Light Side… expedient bureaucracy
For the Republic!
