Got on tonight. Looks like I am going to need a hardware upgrade....it's got a good flow and is easy to get into.

god dammit i need a new PC to play these games, problem is even after $1500 I won't be able to play next year's games...

to me this is the main negative PCs have on consoles, the experience is all in the computer, especially online games. But god this game looks so fuging good...always been a fan of the star wars RPGs and Im not even a fan of star wars

My collectors edition will be here today via Amazon. Not sure when I'll start it though.

honestly if you build it yourself you shouldn't need to spend $1500 to have a pc that will last you.

I'm pretty sure you could soup up a pre-fab one and have it be pretty nice for under 1500, too.

So now that some people have had a chance to play it....how is it? I'm seriously considering picking this up. I don't want to waste 50-60 bucks tho. Not to mention I'm already playing Rift and I love it (though I am getting a bit bored, since I've done just about everything)....i don't have time for two MMO's.

I have played most every major MMO out there. Rift is one of the many I have a great deal of experience with...

I much prefer leveling in TOR. Can't speak to end game because I'm not there, but the voice over stories and multiple options have so far drawn me into the story.

If you are having FPS problems inside of structures turn off shadows and it should run fine.

Saved me and my POS computers :)

if you spend 1500$ on a pc and can't play next year's games you got ripped off

i spend 800$ on mine 5 years ago, and have only upgraded the video card and hard drive and it still runs brand new games

this one is sold out, open box, but you get the idea: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229283R

the 1500$ pc is a myth perpetrated by the console manufacturers and its dumb ass consumer base

Speaking of pcs, im going to be starting to travel a bit and need some help on getting a laptop I can play these games on that don't cost an arm and a leg. Any suggestions?

[Porn Shop Clerk]

i'm not so good with laptops. processor speed is giving way to longer battery life.
