[quote name="Bill Dungsroman"][quote name="FABIO"][quote name="Bill Dungsroman"]Never mind. The first release of the game doesn't even support offworld travel. Which, uh world would that be? Tatooine? Oh boy, there's a fun landscape. [/quote] What I don't get is why they're cutting features to rush it out the door. This is a GUARENTEED hit they have if done anything close to right. And it's not like a stand alone game where they can slap the star wars license on a shitty game and dupe fanboys into buying it then not being able to return it. Instead it's a pay by the month game that I'm guessing most people will get bored with after a month or two or just never bother with in the first place.[/quote] Nobody understands it. It's not like it's October or something, and they're worried about a Q4 release. Who gives a shit about April? Especially since the expansion, which is supposed to have all the cool stuff, like player-generated cities and missions and player-owned vehicles and Dark Jedi, is supposed to ship in eight months. As in, Q4 of this year. The rationale is that all that stuff is stuff players won't even be able to get access to for several months anyway. Oh, I can't own a fucking Speeder for the first SIX MONTHS I play? Fuck you. At least I was wrong on one account: there's nine planets. I guess the Imperial base is on Planet #1 and the Rebel base is on planet #9 or something. But you have to use public transportation to get to them. Picture a futuristic (or really old HAHA LONG TIME AGO) fucking space bus. A Storm Trooper lounges with his helmet in the seat next to him, looking over his benefits package. Across from him is a Smuggler, who I guess has to mule stuff up his ass and in swallowed space condoms since HE DOESN'T HAVE A SHIP. And next to him is a rebel trooper who probably wishes he's sat in another car what with the STORM TROOPER RIGHT THERE. Jedi? Naw, there aren't any. [/quote]
