After being spammed with ads, I checked SWTOR out

It seems kinda boring, and the movement controls annoy me almost as much as Bionicle Heroes.

Am I missing something here?

You are.

Nope.. I quit that game on my first character by level 25 when I realized it was WAY too much like WoW

Meh, I'm around level 25 and I've enjoyed it so far. However I also treat it like its a single player game for the most part and pretend it's non canon.

Thought about maybe making a sep7 guild just to get a Guild base and capital ship for people that just want to hang around and play with other people from this place.

I thought it was pretty fun but lacked endgame content to keep me interested.

Please tell me there's an option that lets you look around like a normal game.

You mean like first-person? Just zoom in all the way and it'll do it, but it's useless.

ToR isn't canon, did you SEE how badly they butcher Revan's character in the next expansion?

Nope, I've heard it's some guy pretending to be Revan but I don't know how true it is. That and since KOTOR is no longer canon I don't really give a shit about what happens in TOR. It's all just a giant what if story now and I'm fine with that. Means they can do more shit too since they're no longer constrained by canon.

To be fair, KOTOR isn't canon either. None of it matters, but I would say the LucasArts team considers TOR the continuation of Revan's story, no matter how unhappy most of the fanbase is with his treatment.

Like I said though, since none if it is canon (not that i was treating TOR as canon anyway) I don't really care. I just play the game and have fun with it. Shit's more fun when you don't care about how nonsensicle the story would be if it were actually canon. It pretty much exists in its own little pocket dimension in my mind.

Tackel · October 20, 2014, 09:23:41 AM

It takes a giant shit on KoToR and the story is terrible. Good thing it's non-canon now.

No, like A & D move you left and right, respectively; and moving the mouse makes your character turn in that direction.

Seriously, it almost feels as bad to me as Bionicle Heroes does(For reference, in that game on the 360, you have 1 thumbstick in control of movement and looking around.)
