Re: (OT) Star Wars TOR available for pre-order
I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised.
Game is awesome all around.
There are some things I really liked about it, but then I saw things that made me laugh, like the space combat. Seriously, a $200 - $300 million budget, LucasArts, EA, BioWare, and they couldn't find some money for Larry Holland or Chris Roberts or somebody to put together a real space combat section instead of the roller coaster/tunnel shooter thing they cobbled together?
Spend $20 million on space combat and you've instantly increased your potential playerbase drastically.
I think/hope it will succeed, but it's an awful lot of money and they are making this their flagship title of the year, although they are probably spending more on advertising theri Battlefield series, and any under-performance is not going to help UO.
