Yes. I know. Battlefront is on the way. But that isn't what I'm talking about. I'm sure I speak for a large group of people who want to an online game. Where we interact with OTHER players. Not bots. AND a game where WE control the fighting. Think Skyrim style. Not point and click attack "Pokemon" style.

Does anyone feel this way? I am thinking something like Arma 3 Life...but multiple worlds and multiple servers and your own "bank account." Some kind of rep system. And being a "Jedi" or a "Sith" would require skill and dedication. Bounty hunting could be placed in as an amazing way to create conflict AND subdue it.

Idk. I like the idea of MMOs but so far the only great online multiplayer experience I have had has been with Arma life because of the true sandbox nature. And it would work well in the Star Wars universe.

We've already got the Old Republic. That's pretty decent, IMO.

But is it first person shooter/3rd person like Skyrim or Arma or battlefield? Or is it select attack style? Or even the old click and attack style of Diablo?

That is my thing. Skyrim was amazing to me because it allowed me to actually "swing the sword." I mean sure...it was buggy and I was limited...but I just want more of an "fps" feeling multiplayer experience that is also "role play" in the Star Wars universe.

If you've ever played KOTOR, it's basically that as an MMO. The game's third person, you click to attack, and use a menu to activate special attacks and abilities.

The first two were more than decent, imo- they were better than most of the movies! :D

Hell! KOTOR 2 is one of the most underrated RPGs of its generation, IMO.

With the restoration mod, yes, KOTOR 2 is a masterpiece! :mrgreen:

There was an awesome game in production until Disney bought Lucas films. It was called "Star Wars 1313" and the game revolved around a young Boba Fett. It looked like it had a lot of potential.

No. I want a game where I aim and fire the blaster or click to swing the light saber. Like a first person shooter.

I suppose. I mean as far as combat goes?? I've never played the game. Like GTA with role playing and multiple worlds. Arma life if you have heard of it.
 
Combine Star Wars with Mass Effect 2.

I don't know what sandbox means, but if you have not played the mass effect series.....stop everything you are doing. Right now. Just stop. Stop typing, stop texting, stop watching TV, stop reading.


Go to the store. Buy the Mass effect trilogy.


I'll see you in a couple of weeks.
 
It's a 3rd person RPG shooter. You get character development, great story, lots of gear to customize, and oh, using the sniper rifle is ever so satisfying.
 
Let's make another game where every bar is called a cantina and they only play that one song.

Lol. Sandbox means that you make the game what you want. GTA was the pioneer sandbox game. But then you have read dead redemption and such. The Arma series was the ultimate in "sandbox" really though. Giving you the ability to mod everything, and being encouraged. Having all the tools built in.

But those are essentially sandbox games. The story can be there, but you decide the route and when you play the story and so on.

No, Mass Effect is not sandbox. But still.





Stop what you're doing and go get it.
