The Old Republic: a Star Wars endeavor

The Revenge of the Sith- 3500 years before the actual movie

A lot of you reading this would have never heard of Star Wars if Lucas didn’t make the first 3 episodes from 1999 onwards. Sure the originals were amazing but then 1980? Wow that is way too long. A lot of people haven’t really cared for Star Wars until Revenge of the Sith came out. Well, that was my first Star Wars experience. Then I realised how big the whole thing was. There are people who would literally die if the entire series wasn’t completed.  I personally thought they were gay. Whoever, I do understand why the whole thing was so intriguing. I mean if WoW was to stop tomorrow, kids in the future would be like “What is World of Warcraft?” Star Wars and WoW have a lot in common- fights, races, amazing storyline and most of all-their own little universes. From Arthas to  Anakin, heroes come and gone, the fall of the good and the rise of evil- both had amazing stories. Now Star Wars plans to enter the MMORPG world with The Old Republic. How would this game turn out?

The whole thing takes place approximately 300 years after the Jedi civil war in Knights of the Old Republic.it is the same old shit where the Sith try and topple over the entire Jedi. in the movies, there were only 2 Sith that made a mess of things but apparently there are Sith warriors…shitty Sith you could call them…but damn a room full of red sabers is pretty cool.

Frankly speaking I only watched the movie and played a couple of games. I couldn’t be bothered to read the books or want to know anything that happened before all the important shit in the movies. So, the entire story is simply a precursor to what we already know. Hmmm , would I want to play this? I mean, everyone can relate to Darth Vader, Obi-Wan, Yoda, the bald black Jedi, Luke and his incest moment with Lea and of course Han. But this new game has none of those faggots!! Now why would I want to fight some unbelivevably strong Sith or Jedi mutherf***er that I don’t even know. At least WoW has the elements of Arthas, the Lich King, Thrall, Jaina and all those other people that WoW players can relate to. In Old Republic…who the f*** is there that I know of? Although the game does have some really cool features, it is the storyline gets people hooked to it.

The classes in Old Republic fall under 2 different types- with a lightsaber or without one. There are apparently Jedi Consulars and Sith Inquisitors who know how to use a saber but are skilled in something else. So that means that there are 2 sides and 4 different classes each.

sure don’t need to tell ya which ones Jedi and which ones Sith eh..

Ok…After reading what they can do- THREE times, I still don’t get it. Either I am retarded (true) or they are just trying to include some random bullshit classes (also true). The one cool thing I found about the game is the trailer, and the fact that there are 13 planets to do whatever in. Yea, that’s a whole lot of travelling to do. Moreover, there are gonna be spacefights or something to do with space travel.

Moreover, your own story revolves around how you interact with people- they can be your best friends or worst enemies depending on what you say to them…pretty cool. Lastly, this is the first MMO to have a voice something something. Meaning to say that you can talk and get replies in voice (not jsut the cutscenes)… instead of everything explained in text.

I mean, if the whole game revolved around the movies, then YES, I would play it, being a faggotty Star Wars fan. However, only Star Wars NERDS would want to play this game cause well..they’re nerds. The game looks cool I’ll give you that, but damn, the movies have ended and people would still want to live in that anticipation of something else. When there was still a movie to be released, people had hope and anticipation, but after the series is over—what now?

All I’m saying, this game wouldn’t even scratch the WoW market. Aion had 3x the shot this game, in my opinion, would have. It has to have something REALLY REALLY good when released for people to actually play it- that is all.
