There have been numerous reports and accusations that SWTOR is a SWTOR claims to be it.
This article on Product-Reviews.net takes a look at this notion and whether or not SWTOR will really be a WoW-killer.
“Most gamers will agree that the notion of any such game being able to topple the might of Blizzard’s WoW will be like saying; the Mega Drive can compete with the PS3’s graphics. However, SWTOR has so much more to give gamers, more in fact than Wow, but there is still much more to consider. Gamerzitch has now weighed in on the argument saying that BioWare has developed a game that makes you feel important, but is that really enough to topple the fan base of Blizzard’s MMO?”
I don’t know. If any game could do it, I would think a story-driven Star Wars themed MMORPG by BioWare would be the very game to achieve such a feat. I’m not a WoW-hater. I’ve played since beta. I have a guild still actively seeking Firelands progression but a good lot of us are just waiting on SWTOR. We have our guild ed, our signed up and most have pre-ordered the game already. To say we are ready is an understatement.
Will SWTOR achieve what it promises or will it let us down? The reviews goes more in depth on the claims:
“The reason we say this is because World of Warcraft currently has a base of 13 million, this cult following will be tough to follow and even if those on the side of SWTOR must agree that it is a battle that will not be won. This is a shame; because The say that BioWare has a pointless game here, as it is far from it.
It does not matter how much or WoW because it excels in multiplayer, there will be times when you want the option for the two.”
All good points. I have yet to cancel my fall to a more casual role in WoW if SWTOR is everything I believe it will be. Also, I still believe there will be some loyal WoW fans who stay. There is still a huge market there. Some people want to be casual, like what they know already and don’t want change.
Some people never played an MMORPG before- or since-WoW and they have no intentions of leaving.
What do you think?
