I'm not bothered about Old Republic. The gameplay I've seen looks like WoW - Star Wars and doesn't give me enough reason to abandon the tried and testes champion of the MMO scene. The Edge review for it wasn't that hot either. Said it tries to combine great storytelling (a la Mass Effect) with MMO elements but the stitches were very obvious and if you party up, you have to sacrifice that narrative. The bounty hunters only had one usable weapon as well. WoW WotlK and Cata have had more 'phasing' but not so much that it can have a dramatic effect on party questing. The quest chain in Dragonblight, and Mount Hyjal are the only things which immediately spring to mind. Being a successful series means nothing when it comes to being a successful MMO. Final Fantasy and Star Trek can attest to that.

Edit: LOL testes

Yeah.. . Glad I wasn't the only one who caught that.

[DarkMemories]

It all went downhill after Mass Effect...

FUCK Curt Schilling.

Athletes =/= Celebrities. They were poking fun at Ubisoft using Joel McHale as host.

Getting a Fighting Force vibe from this game, and more than a hint of Joanna Dark from one of the female characters

Wow, Overstrike looks very interesting.

And now...time for Battlefield 3.

[Gambit]

Hmm, Overstrike looks pretty interesting.
I'm sooo looking forward to Battlefield 3

[Dark_Chris]

Now that's what I call EPIC!!

[GuardhouseMusic]

Not bad at all for Battlefield. I might finally give this series a try.

If the online is more than 80% people dicking around trying to get to vehicals and 20% of people actually trying to do something for the team, the multiplayer will be decent. And perhaps actually letting you talk to more than the 4 other people in your party would be nice.

Well, at least I'm actually seeing games this time and not Kinect kiddy shit. Microsoft failed. Dumbasses. Now let's see if Nintendo does any better and decide to finish off the half-console they releases a few months back.

Holding back judgment on Battlefield 3 until I see actual console gameplay

[DarkMemories]

You do plan to have actual gameplay on your gameplay demo, right, EA?
