What do you think of the new KOTOR being an MMORPG?

Most of you have probably already heard that after a long time of waiting for a new Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic, Lucas Arts announced they will be making one, but it will be an MMORPG like Galaxies.

This makes me angry because it is not what I, or hardly anyone else wanted. We wanted a single player KOTOR 3.

Another thing that makes me angry about it, is that it will most likely cost monthly fees to keep playing. My brother and I stopped playing Galaxies because we decided that we shoulden't have to keep paying to play a game that we own.

If this really does cost money to keep playing, I will not buy it. But if by some miracle it's free to play after purcahse, then I might look into getting it. But I'll still be a bit mad that they didn't make KOTOR 3.

Btw in case you didn't know, the title of this MMORPG is "Star Wars: The Old Republic".

So, as the tittle of this topic asks, what do you think of the new KOTOR being an MMORPG? Please make sure to vote on the poll.

Haven't bought an MMO before, cause I can't justify paying the monthly fees.

I really enjoyed KOTOR 1 and 2, and after watching the video about the MMO, I think it sounds good. I was impressed when they said that it will have more story than all of Bioware's games combined.

In a way I think it is a good idea. Personally, I don't want to see the KOTOR series reduced to Tomb Raider. I would rather see them do something different.

True. It is good if they do something different. I am beggining to think I really might like this new MMO, but like I said before, I will only play it if it's free after purchase.

i think its amazing actually... been waiting for a while now for a good starwars mmo.

kotor would be perfect..

and yes they can still do kotor3... so its not that big of a deal >.>

i cannot wait till this game comes out.

Knowing Bioware it might be awesome despite them threading on new grounds, if done correctly and they way they said with all the features in it then it might be yet another rival to WoW due to the massive Star Wars fanbase.Treflis

I wonder how much of the fanbase will overlap actually...

Excellent point indeed. Probably about half, maybe even more. That should get very interesting.

Otherwise, I think it's a great idea but I don't like it one bit. Paying monthly for a game is not my idea of fun, since I'd rather buy new games every month than pay for the same damn one I've already bought.

i hate it when people use the fee as an excuse. if you pay $15 a month to play an mmo, it will probably suck you in for the whole month so that you dont play any other games. assuming you buy one new $50 game a month, you will be saving $35. mmo's never end, and have infinite replayability

I generally buy used, so I can get one or two games for $15 a month. Why play one when I can play 2 or more? Exactly.krazyorange

but i see your point. i buy mainly games that have been out atleast 5 months, even years. 3 reasons.

1. patches... done compeleted usually by then.

2. prices drop temendously on pc games by then. most do anyways. especially on amazon.com etc.

3. so i can run them at max 1680x1050 at 60fps, and what not :), cant really do that with some of the new games that are comming.

except 2... Red alert 3, oh as soon as i can get my hands on it.

and silent hill homecoming, pc, both pc actually, well silent hill by xmas anyway.

red alert should run great on it... so im excited.. always loved C&C, sorry im off just game fantasy lol.

my feeling fits none of the options.

I'm not really anticipating a Bioware KotOR III to begin with, especially after the mediocre Mass Effect. So when the game turns MMO, I'm ok with it because it'll be just another MMO among many that I don't play.

MMO is a trend, profitable and least affected by piracy, nice business decision from EA & Bioware.

Pretty much hate it.

The reason I wanted another one is so that I have a nice, long video game to play on deployment. But if it has to be connected to the internet, its useless to me.

I understand why they did it, and I can't argue with the economics (especially with pirating) but I think it sucks.

I'm actually excited to see this game comeing out. Iv'e been hoping they would fix galaxies so it could be fun like the old days, but it's sort of to late for that now. :lol: Hopefully KOTOR will be as good as the old galxies, and hopefully the developers won't skrew this up, like the SWG team. >_> So I say yay.

I do agree with you about the monthly fees, but think of it as paying for a much better game. With the money we pay them they are able to make the game bigger and better, with patches expansions etc.

All the people who say "I will never pay...." etc etc, will probably end up trying this game

Another thing, STOP USING THE FEE AS AN EXCUSE.... do people complain about paying $30 or whatever to be a member of a gym....or a swimming pool.... !!!

First of all, I do want to try the game, hopefully in the beta.

Second, you are right about what you said about the fee. I have been thinking about it more, and I guess it really is ok to charge people monthly fees, because without your money they couldn't keep the servers going.

I might end up getting it, we'll see what happens when the time comes.

I was mostly angry in the first place because Star Wars: The Old Republic is just not what I wanted from Lucas Arts. But, you can't always get what you want.

Of course...I too wanted KOTOR3, but I am WILLING to GIVE THEM A CHANCE with an MMO, instead of just bringing them down.

And about the fee... again, you pay a gym membership, or pool, or soccer team to excersive or have fun per month, so what's with paying a game company monthy to have fun...?

sorry... I meant

"So what's WRONG with paying a game company monthy to have fun...?"

they cost $50 to buy and come with a months subscription. there is no way they would ever charge a $50 monthly fee lol

Not really happy KOTOR 3 turning out to be a MMO. I dont see myself getting this game at all.Jd1680a

Nice way fom Bioware to screw all the established storyline from Kotor 1 and 2.I would've rather much prefferd a Kotor III than this garbage,even if made by Obsidian which really have redeemed themselves in my eyes.The main reason why I loved the Kotor series that much is because of the fantastic story and the good combat system,now they are throwing all that away for an MMO.

No thank you.While I agree this probably wasn't Bioware's choice in stead it was EA's choice which likes to screw fans so much,still.

Also all that talk of a "story" in this MMO is pure garbage,it will have as much of a story as Pac-man had.I will forever hate Bioware for this AND for screwing Dragon Age as well.

If it's done well, I wouldn't mind it that much. I like Bioware rpg's and what we had seen so far it has the potential to become a great MMO that is very focused on story.

If they can pull it off, it would be fantastic.

There is still opportunity to make Kotor 3 in future.

i am very excited, people say they want kotor 3, and i understand the fear of it being an mmorpg, but dont forget the creators said instead of kotor 3, its 3-9, it has that much content, i cant wait

once again..

it is star wars, mmorpg, set in the saga (time frame) of knights of the old republic.

i do believe it will be good, i have high hopes for it.

i think it might be a step in the right direction, i have yearned for a star wars mmo.. galaxies was a let down to me, i hate to say.

and i want bioware to take their time with this one.

so when i upgrade my cpu later on to phenom II.

and my gpu once the game comes out, i can run it how i want.

i have a feeling this game will be great, and alot of people will be eating their words.

or try and keep up their image to still follow a hate it because it isnt "another" single player kotor-bandwagon.
