[Crispy]

Don't bother with Black. He's nothing more than a one-liner whiner.

[Stereotypical Villain]

All of my mates complain about the fact that I complain about ToR. It's quite a paradox.

To be honest, I can't say I noticed an awful lot of bugs so far, so I don't see why the comic should stress this aspect so much. In fact, almost none, save for graphical glitches and invisible walls, though I know others did.

Plenty of other problems, of course, especially with the abundance of pointless repetitive quests disguised with cutscenes, among which it is quite hard to find the sparse worthwhile ones. Conceptual conflicts with my view of a proper MMORPG are many, but they were known from the start; the game being positioned as WoW/KotOR.

Perhaps they will expand on the more enjoyable aspects. Inserts quests with proper choices, expand dialogue options beyond 3, insert more notes on lore, make the world more interactive, add optional planets, attach some form of multiplayer for the space arcade, add other mini-games, etc. If they choke it full of content, it will be a decent theme park, and diversity of content was part of what made UO good (while its lack made WoW shallow).

But bugs? Say, Darkfall was one huge bug at release, but SWTOR seems perfectly normal for an MMO in this regard.

Cool anecdotal evidence.

 

[Mangoose]

Gotta say I still remember the loot-lag bug that lasted WoW from launch to about a year (?). Then again SWTOR has this bug where you're stuck on a speeder.

I like it. I don't think it's particularly funny, but it reminds me of late 90s MMORPG adventures. Also the comic has been around for a while so there's some nostalgia in that too.

 

[Grunker]

I think it's shit, honestly.

I think it's shit, honestly.

But is it better than oblivion?

 

[Azrael the cat]

From a metacritic user review (http://www.metacritic.com/user/Stumblebee):

"I like how each class gets their own unique story.. but, why can you have sex with everybody? It seems like everyone wants to get in bed with you from the second that they meet you. There are SO MANY people you can have one night stands with, it's weird."

You know, I could have come across that quote without being told the game, the developer or even that it was in a gaming context, and I would have immediately known it had something to do with Bioware.

 

[felipepepe]

Yeah, and that's what made me smile on the first chapters, but when it turned into a real story with annoying characters I just lost interest. IMHO webcomics work better when they are just funny & random "slices of life"; when they start to go on huge plots that last dozens of chapters it usually becomes a self-reference fan-only comic that most times it's not worth the effort.

The major difference between you and Skyway is that sometimes I consider Skyway's posts and sometimes I laugh at them. With you I just shrug.

Looks like I asked a very difficult question.

So SWTOR got it's firt award: http://www.gamespot.com/news/star-wars-the-old-republic-named-ablegamers-game-of-the-year-6348952

Nothing against disabled (Why do they call themselves able gamers?) but I think this is hilarious because there is no way Bioware intended this, they just made it retardedly easy.

 

[DraQ]

(Why do they call themselves able gamers?)

Butthurt/coping mechanism.

I can imagine being jaded because it must suck a big time when what should be simple everyday task and is simple for everyone else is a big fucking problem to you at no fault of your own, I also approve all reasonable* anti-discrimination policies but trying to invert "disabled" in a retardedly politcorrect manner pretty much amounts to painting a huge bullseye over yourself - "hey, look at me, I have nothing but my disability to define myself with so I hide my crippling emotional vulnerability behind transparent wordplay".

Or they try to shield themselves from unwanted and unneeded pity, which I can sympathize with ( ), but again, wordplay is not really a good solution here.

*) Those that don't amount to "you have to employ x% of deaf people and y% of paraplegics" and don't enforce putting people in positions they can't handle due to objective reasons.

[DraQ]

I'm quite a bit socially impaired.

And I can fucking accept it for what it is.


(Then again, if I wasn't I probably wouldn't have >16k posts on the 'Dex.)

 

[Grunker]

Dunno, I function pretty well socially and I'm headed in that direction.
