The real problem is that this person is not to smart. I never cracked the manual or used the in game holocron and I learned to work the interface in a very short time. The user interface and character creation are some of the things that the devs did very well. This person has a low tolerance to learning new systems aparently and then based their entire opinion on the game on his first days experience. His opinion isn't worth much to me.


You really have to give the game a week or two before youfind all of it's real problems







Same here. I never looked at the manual (I hardly ever need to go for games) and I never look at the Holocron unless I'm explaining something to another player (I'm bad at explaining things) or trying to look up something that's really different.
The interface is easy to use. Hell, as a newbie I could master the stupid thing back when SWG was first launched.


Heh... this guy's ALTkey thing just makes me laugh. It works just fine, just need to hit it.
Anyhow, I hope he has fun somewhere else. SWG wont miss him.

This is not a flame, but an explaination. UI's are different just as games are different. We were not born (or at least I was not) with a particular UI in our heads. I have played (and still play) EQ EQ2 and WOW. They each have there goods and bads. They also have their own UI issues. If you want to enjoy the game do so, don't lef an "different: UI get you down.

Yup, its this way frequently when people move from game to game. Coworkers visiting SWG from City of Heroes were about pulling out their hair just trying to walk around, while SWG coworkers were the same way in City of Heroes. Personally, the SWG control system works perfectly for me. That's the last thing that ticked me off as a new player. In fact, the first time I remember actually being angry with the game, it was something more like: "Wait, they can't get battlefields or even a bloody Imperial Cap to work in over a year, and they added *HOW* many types of new Chefhats?"

But that's just me

If that reviewer had THAT much trouble using the cursor wait until he actually starts playing the game...he will really hate it. LOL

For those of you who have a car, what happens when you drive your friends car or any other car for that matter?


Feels weird right? But after awhile you get used to it.




I dont think that comic has a car.

ROFL!

Now I do not want to say, somebody is missing some brain cells here....

But ...

Have played several games and when I first started here I really thought "Whythe hell should I type in commands like in a text adventure?!"

The manual did sort out a lot of things, but was no help when it was up to writing a macro or explaining every single command.


As for the ALT key....

Hey man, those are the keys left and right of the SPACE bar (thats the biggest button on your keyboard"

Pressing "A" and "L" and "T" wont help!
