any questions use the contact email or comment here and i ll try to answer them thank you all for being a fan and reading my blog for so long and i wish you all the very best in your future gaming adventures posted by darth solo at 11 20 am 0 comments monday march 19 2012 swtor impressions the free swtor weekend is over and it s time for me to share some impressions 3 days isn t enough by any stretch of the imagination to review a mmorpg so i hope you will forgive me if i say that swtor seems like vanilla wow with a star wars skin albeit more polished the game is such a clone of wow that i immediately felt at home despite not playing wow for almost a year the interface is instantly recognizable and familiar to the smallest of details there s p for skills i for inventory c for character screen enter for chat r for replying to a whisper dance for dancing and so on ad nauseum don t get me wrong this is a great thing i noticed the same thing in rift and it has really become like a standard that mmo developers are following these days considering how many people play these games it s extremely helpful if interfaces are consistent across games i tried 7 of the 8 classes including jedi warrior smuggler trooper sith warrior bounty hunter sith inquisitor and imperial agent the only one i skipped was the jedi consular which didn t seem that interesting i only managed to level the sith warrior to level 10 where i unlocked the talent tree and professions while the others were leveled to 4 6 or so i can t even say that the sith warrrior was the most pleasant class to play with i tend to prefer ranged classes and the trooper imperial agent smuggler and bounty hunter were more interesting i also realized too late that i should have leveled a sith inquisitor instead of a sith warrior the warrior is based too much on melee moves and uses the rage system which didn t quite feel right to me instead the inquisitor uses both magic and melee and uses force as a resource which acts in a more predictable way just like mana character customization was disappointing i expected more from this game maybe not what skyrim does but certainly something more involving than wow instead all the characters regardless of race felt bland the thing that bothered me the most was the scarcity of options for height and body type those should have been 2 independent sliders with infinite granulation instead each gender gets 4 predefined body types what felt even more annoying was that while i could create a fat guy character i couldn t create a fat chick the closest thing was a curvier than usual female which was anything but fat dammit i wanted to play a fat chick the game felt easy to play at the beginning just like wow grab quests go places complete quests return get reward rinse repeat i appreciate the fact that each class has a recovery skill which helps you quickly heal and recover resources after a fight fights weren t too hard except for one instance where a quest boss killed me about 4 times until i got my companion then the fight became trivial that encounter didn t seem too balanced the companions are an interesting concept but the way every class gets it s own companion type which can t be changed feels very artificial at level 10 i got my first taste of the crafting system and again it felt different in a good way being able to send your companion on a crafting mission is pretty cool also sending them away to sell the useless crap that you find is a good thing although not original to this game the graphics are kind of disappointing i almost feel that wow s are better although they are probably not the intro movies are kick ass because they are cgi but the cutscenes suck ass the character animations in these cutscenes felt very 2000 ish now i m sure lots of people won t be pleased by what i m gonna say next the much ballyhooed voice acted quests are in my humble opinion rubbish as well as a waste of resources they would have been better off sinking that cash into something else like some proper character customizations ok i admit i m not really the lore type i don t devour lore and story like some people do i prefer the action i started out by diligently listening to all the spoken dialogue until i realized that i was wasting time and i didn t have a lot of that instead of exploring the game after i figured that i wasn t missing a great deal by skipping through the dialogue i started to do that pretty soon i wasn t caring at all about the story or anything that supposedly went on in the game i just followed the quest markers on the map while i kind of understand why they used voice acting for the main quest story i don t see the point of this for every single crappy quest your character encounters every kill 10 rats type of quest has voice acting but whatever some people like it good for them i just feel that they put too many resources into this one killer feature instead of improving other areas of the game and then there s this whole dark side light side paradigm that is starting to grow old i mean even the sith wouldn t be so stupid as to permanently do cruel things without reason yet the game forces you down the narrow light dark path without the possibility of recourse of course you could stay neutral but then you won t have access to certain items which are unlocked by how good or evil you are there is one thing at least that swtor does right dead lootable mobs are marked by a shaft of light which is colored based on the type of item which drops green item green shaft pretty cool idea the other thing that i thought was awesome is area loot oh how i wish wow had this feature whenever i farmed low level dungeons with my level 80 essentially this allows you to collect loot from all the bodies in your vicinity by looting a single body kick ass feature well ok i also enjoyed how light sabers can be customized with crystals grips power sources and what not it felt very much like kotor too bad i m not much of a melee person i wanted to post some screenshots but i have no idea where the game saved them so screw that i m gonna stop here because there s nothing much left to say the game was ok but nothing groundbreaking i m certainly not going to spend a single cent on it will i ever play it again not unless it goes free to play and even then if i don t have something better to do posted by darth solo at 7 58 pm 6 comments labels swtor friday march 16 2012 swtor free to play this weekend you might have already heard that star wars the old republic is free to play this weekend if not i m here to tell you that swtor is free to play this weekend i ve quit wow for over a year and i won t return at least not as long as it costs money i m so over wow that you won t even believe it yet i will continue to love rpgs and even mmorpgs and i have always loved star wars so i owe it to myself to try swtor for a few days swtor has been one of the most successful mmorpgs in recent history apart from wow and though i won t buy it or subscribe to it i do want to get a little taste of it hopefully one day this game will become free to play and maybe i can explore it some more until then i am dedicating myself to other hobbies and games in particular diablo 3 if you haven t already and if you are a diablo fan head on to my diablo blog though swtor was made available for play yesterday it took me all night to download the massive client despite download speeds in excess of 1mb s oh well at least it s free this weekend i won t be doing anything but playing swtor next week i will post a few impressions so forget wow for a few days y all and go get a taste of swtor posted by darth solo at 7 32 pm 1 comments labels swtor wednesday january 25 2012 no blizzcon this year boo frickin hoo so blizzard has decided to forego blizzcon this year to focus on the games that are in development in my opinion that s a wise move i don t know how many resources a conference steals from development but this year is very busy for them they are planning to release no fewer than 3 games the next starcraft chapter wow s next expansion pandaria and the most anticipated game of the decade diablo 3 i would much rather they focus all their resources on releasing these games especially diablo 3 than to be distracted by blizzcon if you think about it there s nothing much they can show off this year there are no surprises left apart from the unannounced project titan we all know what games are coming out this year and all of them except perhaps for pandaria are close to being done project titan is most likely a long way from completion and that s why blizzard won t announce anything related to it this year taking all the above into consideration why would they host blizzcon in 2012 just to get some geeks together they claim that they are losing money on the show anyway despite the high price of the ticket so why bother nah don t be too disappointed if you were planning to attend this year apart from meeting like minded folks which is always cool there wouldn t be any new announcements to spice things up i just wonder what they ll show at blizzcon next year posted by darth solo at 7 44 pm 2 comments labels blizzcon 2012 friday november 25 2011 today only 79 nook simple touch from bn just in case you ve been living under a rock for the past couple of days let me be the last one to let you know that barnes noble is selling a limited edition of the nook simple touch e reader today only november 25th 2001 for only 79 down from the regular 100 first i have no affiliation with barnes noble whatsoever second i thought i would post this here because i m sure many of you are avid readers just like i am fantasy and sf buffs usually are why would you buy this e reader if you have an older reader that is not locked into say amazon this is a good buy if you don t have an e reader yet and are thinking about switching to e books this is also a good buy myself i had an older reader a sony prs 300 that served me well over the past 2 years as of late however i felt the need for a better reader a larger screen the sony has a 5 screen faster page turns screen with better contrast and also a touch interface the nook simple touch has all the above 6 screen that uses the new e ink pearl technology which the latest kindle also shares much faster page turns and book loading than my old sony a dictionary a longer lasting battery wifi a responsive touch screen and a microsd slot compared to the sony it does have 2 disadvantages it is sightly taller and wider but feels thinner because of the beveled back and it doesn t have an aluminum face plate like the sony the bigger dimensions give it an extra wide bezel which allows you to told it better b n are only offering this special edition for 79 today so if you like the deal go now and buy it the one thing that makes it special is the fact that it has a white bezel around the edge while the regular version has a black bezel otherwise it s identical to the regular touch reader here s b n s page for this promo personally i think this was a very good deal e reader prices will continue to go down but there are finally several choices under 100 and now s a good a time as any to buy a new reader here are some shots i took of my new reader as well as a comparison to the sony prs 300 pocket edition posted by darth solo at 11 04 am 2 comments labels e reader nook tech monday november 14 2011 skyrim or the trouble with console ports over the weekend i had the good fortune to lay my hands on elder scrolls v skyrim pc for a few hours a friend s friend had just picked up the game and he let me play on his machine i was rather excited to get the chance to test it because the hype surrounding this game is huge it has almost universally garnered excellent reviews this isn t a proper review because i only played the game for those few short hours it is mostly a commentary on the sad state of console to pc ports first a little background i adored elder scrolls iii morrowind but disliked elder scrolls iv oblivion for these reasons i wasn t sure i was going to like skyrim in the little time i spent with skyrim i discovered an amazingly complex universe where my character was free to roam at will the world of skyrim is hauntingly beautiful and just makes you want to keep exploring well until you stumble across some vicious monster or other i enjoyed the experience a great deal but all this was marred by the game s biggest flaw the interface unfortunately the developers were lazy enough to slap the same shoddy console interface on the pc version the fact is that skyrim wasn t made with a mouse and keyboard in mind and it really sucks the menus the inventory system and character stats are a mess it s true that after a couple of hours playing it i kinda sorta got used to it but given enough time one can get used to anything for example like riding a lame donkey versus a ferarri to further compound the issue the skill tree is so badly conceived that i dreaded having to visit it when i leveled up the various perks are arranged in the form of constellations a different one for each skill while nice and shiny navigating between the different skills and perks with a mouse and keyboard is a nightmare melee combat seemed floaty and imprecise but casting spells was satisfying enough overall i enjoyed skyrim which was more than i expected from it the incredibly open world is rich with places to explore and quests to conquer even half an hour into the game you can find youself with at least half a dozen quests in your log and it s more often than not that embarking on one quest will get you sidetracked into yet another side quest in my short time in skyrim quests didn t feel repetitive either and apparently the devs have stated that the game can generate an infinite number of quests which is always a good thing for replayability all things considered skyrim still comes out as a great game but it s unfortunate that bethesda has forgotten their pc origins and have chosen to saddle this otherwise brilliant game with a terrible and shoddy console interface my dislike for consoles is only hardened by this experience and i continue to believe that a proper rpg should not be played on a console or at least not without mouse and keyboard while many reviews have given skyrim scores of 9 10 or 90 i can t give it more than 8 10 i was seriously considering buying it but now i ll just wait until it reaches the discount bin posted by darth solo at 9 58 am 17 comments labels other games skyrim wednesday november 2 2011 dc universe online is now free to play just a heads up for those interested starting on
