Oops. Right, fury cutter and X-scissor.
Yeah I think I've maxed the normal attack on the training minigames.

Lol.

I'm sure there were some games I was really looking forward to this year, but apart from Dragon Age Inquisition I can't rememeber any of them because the new Star Wars The Old Republic expansion has blown it all from my mind with its mind blowing awesomeness.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Yes, I have all the time in the world for you and Zelda.

The Old Republic is gaff. IMO. But whatever floats your boat.

I love it, story driven MMOs ftw. They did a big graphics boost last year too which has made it 100% prettier.

The new galactic starfighter flight sim thing they added also looks fun but I've only played it once and performed terribly so probably not the best judge.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

As a Beta-Tester for TES:O, and a former SWTOR player, I just think that it looks gimmicky. It's the problem I have with WoW too. It just looks like MMO's for kids.

Also, TES:O is possibly the biggest story-driven MMO thus far to date.

[eldargal]

I've not played the beta so I couldn't say, seen a lot of people come away fairly dissatisfied with TES:O but that isn't indicative of anything, people who don't like things are always more vocal. I'm going to check it out when it's released anyway.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

You should. It's a lot of fun.

Then again, the fanboy in me is crying out, so maybe I'm not the best judge either.

Which version did you opt for?

I picked up the basic white one because it was all we had in. was pretty unimpressed with the fact that despite it being advertised as an 8gb hard drive, it seems fully half of that is taken up with the operating system, so with no data on there other than my profile, I only had 3.7gb free to use. but I have returned it now anyway since it was faulty and am waiting for a black 32gb one to come in this week, the store manager phoned another store and asked them to post a spare one over. should arrive in a few days.

I have that book, it is so good. need to go door to door with it

yeah I know a few people who tried it and really didn't think much of it. curiously too some of them hated skyrim and said Online was too much like that, and some of them loved Skyrim but didn't like Online either. I was looking forward to it until the cost was announced.

[eldargal]

My main concern is that Skyrim really comes into it's own with mods so having a TES game without mods will be kind of odd.

It was a surprise actually, SWTOR really shows the subscription model has outlived its usefullness. People want a more casual option as well, having a sub only model was a strange choice. Not many people want to pay 240usd a year (60 for the game, 15 month fees) for an MMO when you can play others for free with micro transactions.

They said early on that Modding would be a thing.
