  • Whilst I do enjoy this game, a Jedi Knight 4 NEEDS to be made.

  • britsh english is easier to understand.. why americans talk like shit? good review!

  • You should not use Melee attacks as a Sorcerer ;) But always fun to see you clips.

  • This is the ONLY guide you need at "StarWarsMMO . com" .. has a good forum too!

  • lol seethe. just like darth maul.

  • @cmilla111 and if ur an assasin, you get the double sided lightsaber too. :]

  • Ron Paul 2012!

  • @mrjoey94 Right, but that was all in a very cartoonish sense, and you never decapitated people and honestly, the most you did was toss people around and impale - not nearly as gruesome as decapitation and dismemberment ;)

  • I 've read pretty much all comments and have reached a conclusion. People are ignorant and stupid and judge things they have no idea about. Swtor is Kotor ( lore ) minus Mass effect ( story telling ) plus dragon age ( battle ). They took the best mmo applicable elements and created this masterpiece. When lucas was making starwars thr guys from blizzard were not even born so go F yourselves wow fanboys.

  • @makdrumz What? Dragon age battle? Are you drunk?

    The battle is EXACTLY the same as WoW's with a permanent companion when soloing (you know, you can have up to SEVEN in Guild Wars, the game that invented the permanent companions in the MMO scene).

    The game is a wow clone with slightly better story and better immersion due to the voice acting. Not hating on it, I'm playing it ATM, but c'mon, be realistic, they played INCREDIBLY safe (I'd do the same if I was investing 200,000,000.00).

  • Isn't this just like WoW but with starwars skins...

  • @Makachuk No. It has a story that isn't terrible.

  • 7:24

    huh TB is playing the darth maul race and he's using a ability that darth maul does in the phantom menece.

    That's really neat

  • UNLIMITED...... POWAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!

  • @CKwolf741 Maybe an arm dismemberment could pass on a rated T game. But slicing someone in half would warrant an M rating. I wholeheartedly agree with you that it's not the most violent thing in this context, but you have to contend with the lowest common denominator, when you're in America.

  • @pennclick I remember doing horrible things to stormtroopers in the force unleashed games and their still T rated, not trying to whine just pointing out :).

  • On the disappointment of the Lightsaber functions - I think it would be pretty neat if say, you get a killing blow with a Lightsaber, why not have an arm get chopped off, or a mob cut in half? Something like that wouldn't be too graphic or violent and would stick to the whole Jedi / Sith feeling.

  • is the companion like a demon or pet for warlocks/hunter in WoW?

  • @qazwsxedcrfv833 No, The companion system is rather very extensive. They do help you kill things but they also help you craft things. Every one gets one and more important they get about 5 different ones. Each one does something different ie, heal, tank, dps, and so forth. They are much smarter than pets in wow

  • @deathsaints Cool a lil bit of GW mechanics added in the mix

  • @qazwsxedcrfv833

    Sort of except he talks to you and has his own little affection bar which you can increase by giving him little gifts or choosing certain options in the dialogue scenes. Also he levels your professions for you.

  • Diablo 3 nuff said....

  • i have this in the background whilst painting warhammer...it's rather therapeutic :P

  • Dark Heal. Right.

  • Dis game is out!

  • what realm does tb play on ?

  • Is there anything else except purple lightning spells??

  • @allgamesarewowcopies uhh what? I can't understand what the fuck you're saying... "You are just cata brought back vanilla and you got to run to this to get your welfare epics" WTF? L2 structure a sentence. <--- Even spaced it out for you.

  • @MachoRat you're mad because cataclysm brought back vanilla wow and you wrath babys are running to these faceroll games to get your welfare epics, its just sad.

  • Oh and wow is a carbon copy of ultimate online and Everquest.Kofis.most mmos have the same type of play style but normally have a different Emersion to them with story/or lore.

  • Wellas it's more based on knights of the old republic from bioware then it's nothing like wow also has a feel to star wars galaxies if you've only played wow and no other mmos you won't be able to judge this mmo without at least playing the other mmos I mentioned oh and all classes get a companion if I remember you get four in total I might be wrong I'm sure mt t can verify this or not.

  • i haven't play this yet, but it all seems to me like just re-skinned WOW, at least for this caster character, which is disappointing. i was expecting that 10 years newer game will bring something dramatically new and original into the MMO but it's just "copying" predecessor :-(

  • Does just the inquisitor get a companion? or every class?

  • @allgamesarewowcopies LOL. You're obviously failing with your answers so much so you resort to just saying "shut your butt"... Obviously a troll. Your name should've gave it away ages ago I guess. You're just butt-hurt that there's another decent MMO available...

  • haha i love how he said seethe just makes you pace around and look emo xD

  • @allgamesarewowcopies also btw WoW has 10 million... it lost two million like 2 quarters ago.

  • @allgamesarewowcopies Because obviously the amount of subs a game has means how intelligent you are. Lolwut?

  • @allgamesarewowcopies wow will go down to 1-3million in mists of pandaria. no auto attack = failed wow.

  • @olfan92 Blizzard stated that they had no intention of removing auto-attack from the existing classes due to technical difficulties and whatnot, they only said that monks wouldn't have auto-attack.

  • Appreciate the vids biscuit. Keep up the good work.

  • Does anyone else find it a little messed uo that his companion can take and hit more damage than him?

  • man, i know it would be cheap as hell, but i wish that the light saber would actually cut things in the star wars games, its really underplayed

  • @TisMeBc

    The lightsaber does cut things in the Jedi Knight games.

  • @TisMeBc not insta-kills, just leave some sort of scar...

  • @TisMeBc It's worse in the Star Wars games where in cutscenes, lightsabers function normally, but in gameplay they're like baseball bats.

  • @JAOSvids i agree 100%

  • @TisMeBc I agree. I kind of think getting a lightsaber should be very end-game, you know? Like they should be the best weapon, and when you get it you just rape.

  • @TisMeBc Play the Jedi Academy series.

  • @allgamesarewowcopies Not another know nothing troll

  • I don't understand why people keeps talking about "the wow killer"-game. No game will "kill" WoW. Whilst some say that WoW will lose 1.5million players for Old Republic WoW will still have another 10million players playing the game.

    Can't we just agree that both games are good? I myself am really excited how this game will handle the dungeon & raid system aka flashpoints and operations in Old Republic.

  • Everytime he says Lightning.... DRINK!

  • do you have to pay a monthly fee?

  • Need this on XBOX/PS3.

  • @caljam98 Its only on PC

  • Just bought a 6 month sub for this; really loving this game.

  • Haha I use the same hot key buttons, except I use r instead of middle mouse.

  • Once you do dungeons you will run out often. That extra 100 saved me a bunch on the beta weekend. I'll be getting this soon. I won't be playing the sorcerer though, I think.

  • I wonder if the sith sorcerer has a chain lightning ability? I just love chain lightning :D

  • @RyuuHawke well its not like chain lightning in wow but there are AoE lightning spells :) it doesnt jump from guy to guy its more like a straight forward AoE.

  • Read title as Shit Sorcerer. '______'

  • The first mob you killed looked like something out of Doom.

    LOL arcade style graphics.

  • lightsaber warlock...me gusta

  • @BrassKickinGames

    Wow player base: 10m

    SWTOR: 4m

    Durp

  • @o3P1KoMiDGeT WoW subs will go down to probably about 1-3m when mists of pandaria is released, auto attack will be removed which means all melee classes will be fucked. this is a big deal for world of warcraft since auto attack is the main thing for this game. the talent trees in MoP will mainly contain pvp spells. no auto attack works for swtor but will not work for wow. say goodbye to wow forever!

  • @olfan92 how the fuck does auto attack effect anybody, I don't use it ever. its not really an ability..

  • @TheBearstep auto attack for warrior affects = 15-30 rage given per swing,auto attack is a huge part of your damage in wow :) you cant regen rage without auto attack. hunter auto attack is also very important. look at Mists of Pandaria on facebook and you see how much it sucks.

  • @TheBearstep once you attack something you are affected by auto attack ;)

  • @o3P1KoMiDGeT Swtor hasnt been around for 8 years... It isnt even technically out yet...

  • It is force lighting not lighting strike

  • @helltothemall There are two different abilities force lightning is channeled and slows, lightning strike is a basic nuke.

  • Im a total newb at hotkeys and stuff what is the bottom bar of the hotkey bar thingy it sais S+5 and S+4 and stuff, anyone help here?

  • @Brookie9187 i think it is just more hot keys. wow only has 12 non modded so it looks like their will ether be a LOT of abilitys (like wow) or you cant change the interface with mods (you can in wow).

    this game looks good

  • @Brookie9187 you press shift and 4 or 5

  • Dear TotalBiscuit, please say force power instead of spell since this is Star Wars not a fantasy game.

  • @Osvath97 we all know wat he means ,not a big deal

  • @SuperRocketPenguin It is a big thing since it is Star Wars. It is important to treat it like that it.

  • whats this called? World of Warcraft: Star Wars Edition

  • @Berkie95 not really its an mmo.

  • Yeah when I saw the skill tree I was like "Is this WoW..?"

  • A lot of butthurted nerds in the comments. OMG U ISNULTED MY GAEM!

  • Is swtor a good game ? Yes.

    Is it a good MMO ? NO.

    Liniar gameworld wich is suprising since the license really gave them alot of room to create alternative 'worlds'. Voice acting is not spectacular, combat is faceroll, lack of character customization (looks, stats and 'builds'). The only saving grace is the story and it's "star wars" wich has a big fanbase to begin with, and there are many people just tired of WoW.

    It's essencially a sp-rpg that requires a sub, 1/4 will quit after 1st month.

  • £8.99 a month. Fuck this. Does not even look that special. I will wait for guild wars 2. And you may think that if you pay for 6 months it is allot cheaper. If you dedicate yourself to 6 months it is only reduced to £7.60 a month. So greedy.

  • @Azwar3 Yes, curse them for wanting to make back the 100-300 million dollars to make this game. I'll gladly pay for this over WoW, and I'm going to play GW2 as well. GW2 is going to make you pay for content much like GW1, rather than monthly. You really won't pay less for GW2 than SWTOR if you want all the content, you should really make research before commenting like that.

  • @filiduttisen I played GW1 a lot and only ever paid for the expansions. It is an incredible amount cheaper than wow which i also played a lot, ignorant to say otherwise. lets say its cost 200 million to make the game, and they get 3 million subs. $14.99 a month from each person. That's $44,970,000 a month they make might take them 5 months to get there $200,000,000 back. And then they continue to get that much in after that.

  • @Azwar3 Do you think it's free having hundreds of employees working daily for the company? Do you think it's free to keep servers online for 3,000,000 subcribers? Do you think it's free to keep software running 24/7, 7 days a week, 365 days a year? Not to mention the rent where they have their office, information storage, online services and online security programs. Of course they make a profit otherwise there would be no game. But don't think it's free and cash is just flowing in :)

  • @Gormis93 they make huge profits if they hit the right number of players. This is why so many company's are trying, i agree a lot failed that's only because there games were not good enough. To be honest this is just going to turn into a argument where you like, 'They don't make allot of money because of this this and this' and then im gonna say ' Look at all the money they are getting in its a huge amount' and the argument would go on forever. So this is meaningless.

  • @Azwar3 I'm not disagreeing with you. But you made it sounds like there's only the $200,000,000 put into making the game and then just sit back and let the cash come flowing in. It doesn't stop costing money just because the product is finnished

  • EatmyBologna...your a fucking idiot, and should be executed.

  • @lobacca1977 Maybe you're outta the loop, but this game is new and just came out. Also, people in other countries speak differently and have different voices. Welcome to the rest of the world! Hope you enjoy your stay!

  • If this game was $29 and no fees it would be an ok game. But for the price and a sub, this game is a non-starter for me. Just a WOW clone with extra bells and whistles.

  • @Realpeopleneverpost Both this game and GW2 will be less of a WoWclone than what WoW was once a EQclone. Think a little before commenting. I can safely say that SW:TOR has a lot of potential, even if the gameplay is similar to WoW as both are hotkey MMO's. If that is what you are tired of you will have to wait for GW2 I'm afraid, since they will introduce a few more additions that break it out from being your kind of "clone". SWTOR is more of a RPGMMO than a MMORPG.

  • EVERQUEST IN SPACE!!!!!

  • Man I can't wait for this game.

  • i'd like him to do a Sith playthrough thing. I would get this, but i dont like how there is a monthly fee and thats the playthrough i would use primarily.

  • So.... the councilor has the exact same spells up to level 11 as the sorcerer... but they have different animations and names, bioware being lazy much?

  • Comment removed

  • @Atelniar His British, of course he has a different accent you thick headed idiot. Get off your high chair and grow up you ignorant prick.

  • @Ogirdor Are you mentally retarded? Where did I mention his freaking accent, you idiot? :p

  • @Atelniar -_-' wtf? First of all, i don't give a fuck what blizzard does, i don't play wow and have no care for it. Secondly, at least blizzard had the common decency to make 8 or however many classes they have and make them distinguished from each other instead of giving the players 4, with 4 clones that have different color fire. What bioware did is essentially pissing on people and calling it rain...

  • @KHfanz Guess what, there are 8 classes in TOR, not four, moron. Get it? Each class gives you the choice of an advanced class and no, that is not a "spec". They change greatly with that choice in terms of roles and mechanics. Jesus.

  • @Atelniar So i'm a moron for not considering that shit classes? Damn are you an ass hole...

  • Comment removed

  • @KHfanz That said, I will try to refrain from calling people morons a little more. I doubt you would have paid attention if I did not, however.

  • @Atelniar *facepalm* Did you READ my first post? I said if all the profs were like how councilor and inquisitor are (same thing, just reskins), then there would only be 4 profs, and 4 clone profs with different colored skills... I know that there are technically 8 profs seeing as how there are 4 per side...

  • Of course I read the title as "shit sorcerer" :/

  • UNLIMITED POWER!!!!!!!!!

  • Looks really wierd.

  • So, will this be like wow where when you buy it you need to buy a time card aswell?

  • wow with le light saber

  • God damn it I should stop watching TOR vids, it just gets me more excited, why can't it come out in Australia?!

    /cry

  • @COGCaptainDuck Purchase from Amazon. I get my hard copy on the 21st and am already playing via early access from preorder. So long as you have the code Amazon will send you upon purchase, you can play the game on/before release.

  • Wait, what? Dark heal? They named a skill DARK HEAL? Seriously?! Fucking hell this game has fanfiction tier writing.

  • @Lemileant what would you call the Heal that the evil guys use? it has to have a name that is clearly for evil rather than good, so Dark Heal is pretty straightforward.

  • @TheNairnsHair Shock Therapy would make more sense considering the class deals with lightning.

  • @Lemileant but the spell itself does not involve lightening. if it did, then yes shock therapy would be a good name for it.

  • @Lemileant Yea. The storytelling is miles ahead of any other MMO on the market though. So I guess the guys designing the spells aren't as talented with style in the written language as actual writers. I'm also quite shocked. Not.

  • @Lemileant Lol true xD Should be more kinda dark mending, heal feels more like a holy hallelluja thing

  • Honestly, I feel that SWTOR is essentially a new coat of paint for WoW.  As a person who played WoW for 5 years and quit the start of this year, honestly the main drag of the game was just the monotony of the game. SWTOR will hopefully revitilize this.

  • Totalfail here is only supporting this game because it can compete with wow. He hates ANYTHING to do in wow once it was found out he was a hardcore player that as just terrible at the game.

  • @anrim1234 You're delusional.

  • @anrim1234 what's that? butt hurt Wow player?

  • @anrim1234 Read your comment. Look in the mirror, then read your comment again. Go outside, get a fresh of breath air then read the comment again.

  • cant wait for this game 4 more days =D!!

    

  • Recklessness increases crit. I WONDER WHERE THEY GOT THAT SKILL FROM

  • "The shared tree for the sith advanced classes is madness"

    MADNESS?!

    THIS IS *insert either sparta or something else here*

  • arcane blastx3, arcane missiles, arcane barrage... that's it

  • just add flame shock and lava burst and bam. ele shaman.

  • Sadly this wasnt in my Sub box :/

  • Not having played, is the companion class specific?

  • @UKdraxion Each class has the same companions for example, all bounty hunters get the same companions

  • For the all the spell QQers ITS A BETA!!!!

  • @easyta4 Umm..... you know it came out on tuesday for Preorders?

  • @easyta4 Actually is itsn’t. Beta is over, this is the early access thing they are doing for their pre-orders. In other words; this is the final build of the game.

  • @easyta4 beta's over man its early access lolololol games out in like 4 days

  • more terraria!

    

  • Is star wars the old republic  sub based??

  • @CheddarTopHat yes it is.. 

  • Another class of SWTOR which catches my eyes

    Force / lightening yeah a lot of fun.

    Hopefully you also show this one in PvP and more stuff like you are doing so on your bounty hunter

  • in 'The Mailbox' instead of a troll dancing on a mailbox we will get a bounty hunter dancing on a hologram

  • Once you start adding on tons of abilities, then you run into what you ran into in WoW: Nerfs, balance issues, bias, favoritism of classes, community forum crying, etc.

  • As somebody who generally prefers fantasy settings over sci fi I don't see any reason to switch from wow to this. Pretty much the exact same gameplay but with a different setting.

    Hopefully guild wars2 keeps to its promise of being a new style of mmo. I'm getting sick of this style tbh.

  • @Eatmybologna I'm looking forward to Guild Wars 2 too, but I think I will try this, for the simple fact that i'm bored of WoW, although I will start again when MoP comes out cause I love the idea of playing a monk. It's nice to have a good choice of high quality MMOs out there though.

  • @fezzverbal WoW and high quality MMOs in the same comment? Really? REALLY?

  • @nomrandom1 dude...first CoD, now wow...can ANY popular games not get criticized? there was a reason it was so huge, it was fun, enthralling at times, had cool zones, and for a certain amount of time, an addictive end game. yes i have gotten bored and therfor quit, but i know it wasnt a bad game. period. neither is CoD. they just bore me now. My gaming interests have changed, but it doesnt mean there bad.

  • @nomrandom1 WoW in its day was a fantastic game. There's a reason so many people have played it over the years.

    Don't be a silly fan boy. There's room for lots of games in this world.

  • @nomrandom1 I meant other MMOs and yes, when describing my own personal feeling about MMOs in General, it's worth mentioning a game I used to play and a game i'm considering playing. Or are you just unable to grasp the concept of a) Me having an opinion that doesn't match yours or b) Me not actually giving a shit about what you think?

  • @Eatmybologna having played Guildwars 2 at Eurogamer, I can safely say that WoW and Guildwars 2 are are different as Mario and Mass Effect.

  • @Highstar25 That nice to hear.

  • @Eatmybologna But Star Wars is still High Fantasy.

  • @Lemileant I mean medieval type fantasy. You know, swords and dragons and all that jazz. Nothing against sci fi, it just isn't my thing (most of the time). I did love mass effect tho.

  • @Eatmybologna ^ Good View to have, I like both settings so im torn. Still angry I cant make a Complete robot bounty hunter

  • @Eatmybologna Same style, but faster paced, better technicaly, more polished, doesnt have fischer price logo, the combat is overall much more fun ( not a sluggish exchange of the same animations like WoW).

  • @Trollgamingnews Which are basically minor changes. As I said. As somebody who for the most part prefers fantasy games over sci fi KOTOR is not enough of a change to warrant switching over. Grindy MMOs like wow and KOTOR are a thing of the past.

  • @Eatmybologna also more skill based play imo

  • @Eatmybologna Mino? WRONG. Grindy? Dead wrong. Kotor an MMO? Dead wrong.

    Thing of the past? This probably will be the last successfull hotkey MMO yeah.

  • @Eatmybologna Yea its like all the mmorpg's are all the same now, just the looks change.

  • @truennthereaper all mmo's have always been same thats what an mmo is. just like all fps are the same, all rts are the same... same genre will always be same. you fail at life.

  • @olfan92 What I meant is they're EXACTLY the same...

  • @truennthereaper There not EXACTLY the same tho are they in WoW you dont have flamethrowers and laser guns and in SWTOR you dont have fucking demons and dragons

  • @InfantileMidget10 Well, you dont have a flamethrower, but you throw fire from a staff, its basically the same thing, but it just looks different.

  • @truennthereaper thats an mmo for you. all games in the same genre is the same. i think you're looking for a different style game,kinda like how fallout is an RPG and a fps. possible to make but the fallout games have horrible animations for the time.Swtor is great and if you dont like it you dont have to play.

  • @olfan92 You're point is valid, however RTS is a terrible example. RTS has had MANY genres that are vastly different in how they are played, and it is also a VERY generic genre that does not include ONLY games like SCII.
