Star Wars Galaxies - No Crushbone Factor?

Posted by simoniker on from the jabber-about-jabba dept.

Tark writes "Over at Warcry.com, there's a new column from Warthog discussing his post-launch impressions of the PC MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies, a month after official release date." This opinion piece is from the writer whose entertaining review we featured just after game launch, and it's interesting to see how his opinions have changed over time - he still says SWG lacks the "Crushbone Factor", referencing a particular area of Everquest which "..had quests... unique monsters... cool, level appropriate loot drops... [and] personality."

    "SOE says sorry if you did these quests and got nothing, they are fixed now"

    Those poor knights who wasted all those years hunting for the damn grail. If only SOE had been there at the end to "reset" things.

      Hardly the same thing.

      C3PO says, "Your reward has been placed in your backpack."

      You look in your backpack... there isn't anything there. You check your faction standing. It hasn't budged. You check your bank account. No new deposits.

      You tell C3PO, "You lying rust bucket screw you rebels I'm going to tell the Emporer where your secret rebel base is!"

    the "Crushbone Factor", referencing a particular area of Everquest

    Great. We refer to part of Everquest to measure how good a game is?

    That's like complimenting a game by saying it has the "root canal" factor.

    "Regardless, the games "content" has been 0 since the day I got the beta, and it seems like it hasnt gotten any better. Sad really, THIS is that SW MMORPG we get. "

    Is it just me, or does that seem to be the general feeling of ANYTHING that has been associated with George Lucas lately? No content for more money than everything else in the same category.
