So I Played The Beta Today... and I Realized A Few Things...
First of All... I Did Everything I Was Doing With TOR Today While Mistress Rayne Was Preparing For Christmas, and Doing Many Things That I Should Have Been Involved With... But Wasn't Because I Was To Busy Messing With TOR...
Once I Realized This... It Broke My Heart
and I Realized That My Priorities Were Massively Out of Place...
Not Only Was This The Case, But My Computer Could Barely Keep Up With The Graphics and Performance of The Game... (I Spent At Least 30 Mins Alone Just Messing With The Graphical Settings, In An Attempt To Make The Game Play Correctly...)
I Had To Turn The Graphics Down To The BARE MINIMUM!!! (Turning Many Aspects Off Completely...) and Even At The Bare Minimum... I Couldn't Get The Game To Play As It Was Intended, and The Graphics Had Been Reduced To What Looked Like Worse Than XBOX (Original) Graphics...
(This Is One of The Reasons Why I Have Never Been Big Into (and Sometimes Utterly Hated) PC Gaming... Something I Always Loved About Console Gaming, Is Simply That If The Game Said XBOX On It, or Play Station... That (Guess What
lol) It Would Play Perfectly Fine On The System It Was Designed For... This Has NEVER Been The Case With PC Gaming... You Always Have To Check Graphics Cards... Sound Cards... and A Multitude of Of Other Issues Before You Know For Sure If The Game Will Play On Your Computer... (The Only Way Around This Is To... Play On A MAC... Mac's Do Not Have These Same Issues... and In All Honesty, I Am Being Driven More To The "Mac Side of The Force" With Every Passing Day... (Lack of Viruses, Play of All Games With MAC On It (As Long As Your Computer Is New Enough))...
(Just So You Guys Know... I Have A Only 1 Year Old $1,000.00 HP Desktop, and Not Even That Could Keep Up With The Graphical Demands of The Game...)
In All... I Spent Around 3 to 4 Hours Fighting With The Game... I Was Angry... Disappointed... and I Had Been Ignoring The One Person That Means More Than Anything To Me In This World...
After Everything Was Said and Done, I Wondered... "Why Am I Doing This..."
I Realized That To Truly Play This Game As I Desired, and Get What I Desired Out of It... I Would Have To Essentially Dedicate My Life To It... and This Is Something I Am Simply Not Willing To Do...
(I Now Fully Understand Why So Many Have Said That They Would Have Rather Seen KOTOR 3 Come Out Rather Than This (What Felt So Cheap In All Honesty...) MMORPG Version of KOTOR... and I Now Fully Share This Opinion...)
So In Short... I'm Sorry Swam... But I Will Most Likely Not Be Playing TOR At All (or Very Little Far In The Future)... I Love The Concept of This Game... But I Will Not Become One of These Pathetic Single Guys In Their Mom's Basement Playing WOW and Completely Ignoring The Outside World... (I'm Not Saying That You Guys Are This... I Am Simply Saying That This Is What I Would Have To Become... To Play This Game The Way I Would Want To Play It...
I Have Had Many Issues On The Job Front In The Past Several Months, and I MUST FIND AND MAINTAIN A STABLE JOB To Provide For My Family, and Preserve The Core of What Allows Me To Keep Breathing In This Screwed Up World... My Family
My Lora and My Two Little Pups
!!!
If I Played This Game The Way I Want To Play It.... I Would End Up Failing Utterly Regarding A Job, and I Would End Up Loosing My Family and All I Hold Dear, All For A ******* Video Game... I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS TO TRANSPIRE!!!!!
So, I Hope You Guys Enjoy The Game... But I Will Most Likely Cancel My Reserve For It... and Ignore It's Launch... Sorry...
(This Was NOT INTENDED As A "Rage Post"... I Am Merely Attempting To Express My Feelings Regarding TOR At The Current Time... and To Let The Community Know That I Do Not Plan On Pursuing This Game Any Further...)This Is Goodbye To The Game That I Waited For So Long For... and Loved With Such Intensity For So Long Until Recently...
