Maybe you never played KOTOR, I dunno. Sure there's some childish elements - Ewoks and all that Jar Jar BS. Really though that's main stream SW. KOTOR is definetly more adult oriented with betryayal, love, and murder.
I dunno man I just feel Kung Fu Panda is too much for me. Hated the movies. I know... I know... Pandarens have been mentioned since way before Kung Fu Panda, but still. Not like I am totally against kid stuff- I do enjoy a good cartoon every once in a while obviously.
WOW meant to me the ugly horde (the face of evil) vs the alliance (goody goody good guys). Sure Blood Elves broke the mold some but they weren't furry animals tied in with cuteness and an entire Asian culture. When I see a panda I think cuteness and fuzzy wuzzy. Just don't see how I cann break my mental image of what I think of pandas. Just WOW catering to the $$$ imho at the sacrifice of their main story.
WOW lore is so deep. Surely you can admit they could have thought of something better. New hero classes, naga races, and other things that have been mentioned. Going back in time to the Emerald Dream/Nightmare was something I'd hoped for.
Now I'm no Star Wars freakazoid but it does have a deep meaning to me. I remember being 7 years old and walking into a movie theater with no idea what was showing (Original SW 1976). Then my eyes transfixed on a 2 hour journey into space with great villains (Darth Vader) and great heroes. Sure the SW title has ben bastardized for years with the last 3 movies sucking shit.
Bioware aren't really furry lovers or into Ewoks. That's why the entire KOTOR story takes place thousands of years before Darth Vader etc... Not really anything childish I can think of in KOTOR. SW sure but not KOTOR.
Will SWTOR fail- who knows. But it hasn't failed yet and has millions of fans. Neither Blizz nor Bioware pay me- so why should I give a rats ass
Not to mention the Pokemon game Blizzard is throwing into MoP. Just seems to be catering to a younger and youger audience.
