Star Wars fever has hit me again (reading SW books, playing empire at war and battlefront), whats the word with SWG now days? Anything noteworthy?

I thought about re-adding my SWG account to Station Access. With Vanguard coming out, and the recent changes to Eq, I was thinking about getting every game under Station Access. Then I went to the message boards, and typed in the words "end game" on search for SWG and MXO. Every thread I read says there still very little to no endgame for both games. It looks like SOE is either not giving these games the resources or manpower to "finish" the game. Its probably not worth it.

Other than it is still the most terrible game ever made, not really. It has not gotten any better what so ever.

If you are looking for a good SW fix, I recommend Republic Commando if you have not played it yet. I picked it up for $9.99 on a budget rack and it was a very good single player experience.

Other than they totally revamped it twice, and both times succeeded in making it FAR worse?

While the above poster are right about the suckiness of the game I still think the crafting system was awsome.

The op was asking about the current state of the game. Post NGE, The crafting system as you knew it is gone. This was probably the one thing they did right with SWG, and they got rid of it.

Just play KOTOR 1 and/or 2 over and over and over again until your SW fever goes away.

(Worked for me).

Just don't go play SWG. As someone already said, they pretty much gave up on it.

Where the fuck is the next X-Wing? Or Tie-Fighter 2?

Seriously. The market is ripe for another space sim with a big name.

That or there is no market, either way I want more good star wars games. Hail be it to the man who creates a Jedi Knight game with a strong space simulation experience with it and a storyline equal to KotoR1! ;D

Dyscord · 09-25-2006, 09:03 PM

I think games like rogue squadron etc killed the space sim market. Their little arcadey feel games haven't been doing well lately, so they figure if the 'dumbed down accessable' version doesn't sell, no one will buy the super complex deep game.

SWG is a steaming pile. What was good is gone, what was bad was fucked up even worse. Yep, even gave it a try after NGE cause I had access pass.

BTW, in case a SWG or SOE management type passes through here. It's to damn late for Smuggling, that ship sailed a long fucking time ago, you lose.

Joelage_mcduffbot · 09-25-2006, 09:37 PM

Man, i need to get a new joystick, a gameport adaptor and Tie fighter and make it into the inner circle again.

They need Tie fighter 2, that shit was amazing back in the day.

It's Shadow Word: Death.

And it always will be.

Zarcath · 09-25-2006, 11:48 PM

Did I misread or you guys say they reversed the NGE?

Beat Rep Commandos, was a good game. Not sure where my Kotor1 cd is and after 15 minutes of Kotor 2 I did myself a favor and uninstalled it.

I'd pay big $$$ to have another Tie Fighter game that was pretty complex. Maybe like BF2 engine but in space, allow for formations and shit, would be awesome.

Really?

Hm, wasn't quite as good as KOTOR1 really, but I remember going through it quickly and having fun.
