SW:TOR

It launches in about 2 – 3 weeks. Less if you preordered (2 weeks, 5ish days).

My main gripe is the graphics and character customisation.
The story is somewhat good. The bonus quests are annoying (like killing 45 of x, kill leader, turn in) and the main quests are nothing new. Though you have a class storyline that rocks.

It is a beta, yes. But I seriously hope quests are something new, and graphics are a lot better than what they are. I can suffer with everyone looking the same, but quests are a big thing for an MMO. Graphics also play a major role.

I kinda enjoy it. Though a Jedi tank is a pretty shit class to play. I might try inquisitor or the Jedi dual-wielding DPS class-thingy.

For a 100 million or more costing game, it looks depressing. I hope it improves. If not, I’ll have a good statuette to put on my shelf with the other collector editions I have bought, and I’ll go back to playing single-player RPG’s and the one MMO I will ever play for a prolonged period of time (EVE, though I’m unsubbed atm due to boredom.)

Fingers crossed, I hope it will improve in the next 2-ish weeks.

Meh…

Ok so Arkham City gets really boring after a time. It’s a good game and all, but to be frank the side missions are somewhat annoying.. For example, I can’t find Fries’ wife for the life of me. And The Riddler missions I gotta find more people to beat up and get information out of.

I’m basically at the end of the game, and I only have something silly like 10% completion… Really? The fuck is that meant to mean?
The fact that you can’t complete -ALL- of the side missions at the end of the game also pisses me off. So I’m going to have to restart the game, complete side missions as they come along.

I highly doubt I’d get any replay ability out of it at all, that’s basically what [RPG] games are these days, good for once, not for any more.

On other points, I like Revelations, playing as Al’tair when he’s an old dude is fun. And Ezio’s later life really intrigues me. Though to be honest, I kind of hate the 100% synch thing, but it’s a nice touch if you like to crack at these things over and over and get it right then and there. I probably wont see the point in doing it again, but who knows – it may be the last in the franchise, which I sincerely hope it isn’t.

Either way though, it’s a fucking awesome game and I like it.

Onto another point, SW:TOR is nearing release date, and I really, really, REA-FUCKING-LLY hope it’s a game worthy of my money and thus my monthly subscription. MMO’s have been pretty shitty releases, not to mention other games that have been hyped to hell in recent years have released with an overall lack-lustre reception come the levels that the big reviewers didn’t bother to get to (and sometimes the starting levels too).

I’m seriously looking for a decent PC game to download, I think I might get The First Templar, despite what people say about the voice acting. I mean hell, The Witcher number one people said the voice acting was shite, but hey, I quite liked it, it was a great game in my books, and still is. Which brings me to my next point, I’m probably gunna play Assassin’s of King’s again just to try the new patch thingmies, and mods.

Blah blah blah, so on and so forth.
