Witcher 3 is a beautiful looking game, although I've still not got very far into it, I've gotton into it a few times but then got distracted by something else :)

Heh, what a coincidence, after the new Star Wars movie I started to play some SWTOR as well :). Levelled a bounty hunter to 60 and still not done with the "Original" storyline, let alone KOTFE. Grew bored of soloing before I got there.

I should play more Battleborn as it's a really fun game, but I finally got into the Witcher 3, so that's taking up all my free time now. Won't even have enough time to play/test Overwatch today.

Hope I manage to finish it before No Man's Sky comes out. Really looking forward to it as it seems more fun then Elite Dangerous. Elite is a great (looking) game, but too much of a sandbox for me, while there is some (light) story in No Man's Sky at least.

How could we forget him ? :) He's been in the Cantina for 3 years now though, maybe he can't move anymore ?

Yeah, let me know if it's good for filthy casuals and I may try it :)

Sounds like you know SWTOR better than I do then ! Still enjoying it but wishing for KOTOR3 proper !!

Yeah, sadly there's always those who manage to find ways to farm noops in any game, not just Blizz titles. Overwatch seems somewhat aimed at filthy casuals though, so Blizz might feel some obligation to protect the peons from becoming cannon fodder. Probably not though :)

I've played a fair bit of SWTOR on and off and did some raiding with a very chilled and friendly Republic guild when all the raid content was still fresh. The raids are really enjoyable, better than most MMOs actually. But sadly Bioware have neglected the raiding part of the game and it got stale with everyone just rushing through the limited choice of raids for the 1000th time, as you discovered. Most of the guild I was in got tired of this and moved on to other games.

Essentially it's always been a single player game struggling to be a MMO. The 1-50 story content is for the most part fantastic and has lots of replay value on alts. But  it only really works solo and is awkward to try and complete story quests while grouped. Pretty much all the expansion content they added 50+ can't hold a candle to the original content and has gotten more and more linear, with class and faction storylines converging into one. So, whilst the new KOTFE content is enjoyable the first time through, it's essentially identical on every class on both factions. On the upside, it cured my altoholicism :)

It's high time they ditched the messy F2P model (where you need a sub to make the game bearable) and moved it to a B2P model where you buy the game and any DLC you want to play and then there's no monthly fee. Then they don't need to worry about calling it a MMO anymore, it can be a single player game with a chat channel.

Yeah, but what I hate about Blizzard match making is they get you to that point where you win 50% and lose 50% and it gets very streaky because averages don't really work out like that IRL. So one day you do nothing but win - yet you know the slippery slope downwards is right around the corner. Imagine it will be the same for this, it does theoretically work however and stops you being rolled by really experienced players (unless they cheat the system for the fun of rampaging over nooplets!).

On a tangent - I've been dabbling the past couple of months with SWTOR again, I admit the movie made me interested (actually I went back to playing KOTR2 and then thought about SWTOR!). If you haven't been back since 2012 like me I'd recommend trying it out again and buying a months' sub - you get all the expacs including the new one (with some gfx upgrades but it's still not amazing gfx! and the Shadow Of Revan expac is pretty cool story, KOTFE is okay also) plus a level 60 insta character. Also the best bit is you get much higher experience meaning your characters only need do the story missions and not all the stupid killtasks and stuff. Only downside is it really still is a single player game, and it's pretty easy so no incentive for ppl to group. I tried a bit of raiding but it just seems like the usual grindfest of people having done it 1000 times already (and you are slowing them down!!! /kick ! :) ). Anyways worth a look imo Cern/eko/Brigh if you ever thought about heading back. I'm playing a little less now so it's wearing off a bit and mostly just treating it like a single player game (which it seems to me Bioware are trying to do with it now anyway!).
