Batman and Skyrim look amazing, although shooting dragons in 3D is hard work. My main problem with 3D vision is that it makes your keyboard so dark and therefore very hard to find the right keys.<br /><br />I expect that there will be a patch soon that will clean up the 3D problems in SWTOR as happens with most games.<br /><br />But the big problem with SWTOR is that I think it has a very limited life as once you reach the end of the quest tree there will be nthing left to do. I've played so many MMOs that I can't even name them all but I started on Star Wars Galaxies (SWG) which was designed from the start to be a sandbox that never needed to end, if you got bored with a profession you could drop part of your current skillset and switch to a new on. Also because everything in game was supplied to the players by the players it encouraged people to interact with each other in order to get supplies, this created on of the best online communities in the history of MMos so far. This all went to hell when in 2005 Sony changed the game so much that it caused about 75% of the playerbase to quit in disgust. Sony tried to convert the sandbox into a WOW style game and did the job badlly, it appears that SWTOR is the game that Sony wanted to produce at that time.<br /><br />Funnily, the launch of SWTOR has made me look back at SWG and go back to have a go at the SWG emulator (SWGEMU) again, and despite the graphics being based on a 2003 game the core of the game is still as addictive as it ever was and it's still better than WOW. The SWGEMU isn't finished yet but it's getting there and when they sort it out it will be amazing again and also FREE.Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10713781540676803859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-581330834124926682011-12-22T09:54:21.412+00:002011-12-22T09:54:21.412+00:00Yeah the LG 3D stuff is nice.. especially if your ...Yeah the LG 3D stuff is nice.. especially if your main source of 3D is Sky-Style SBS video. The problem I find is lack of 3d source material.<br /><br />I found 3d gaming unusable.. full of double images, unless you turn the effect right down, then there's no 3d at all.. it also hurt my eyes if I used it too long, so no good for multi-hour WoW sessions.<br /><br />SWTOR does borrow a lot from WoW, and FFXI and FFXIV and (I'm told by others) Ultima Online. I think of it as WoW before they introduced the suckage (although there's already complaints that people actually have to play the game rather than be insta-warped into an instance, and they can't reach max level in 3 days).Tony Hoylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485210895681350152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-62773633781480432462011-12-22T09:26:01.199+00:002011-12-22T09:26:01.199+00:00LG do Indeed have a 3D-TV that works with the pass...LG do Indeed have a 3D-TV that works with the passive glasses, a friend of mine has one it's quite a nice bit of kit.<br /><br />Also has a neat mode for splitscreen console games where you modify the glasses so one pair has 2 left lens's and one has 2 right lenses it then uses the 3D proccessing to stretch the splitscreen image so when wearing the modified glasses both players only "see" their screen streched to full screen.Dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00022860954210501938noreply@blogger.com
