@lemonia1894 wow is died to me and many other because of the bs content thing, i mean 15 a mouth for content that was recycled bull crap. for example 15 dollars a mouth and a new patch comes out like 3 mouths so im spending about 45 dollars a mouth and can you tell me that za and zg was worth is? or firelands? so yea for now swtor and guild wars 2
Like I said, Bethesda should make SW KoToR 3. It would fucking RULE. A open worlded Star Wars game that's not an MMO with let's say up to 300 hours of content. O baby. I'd love it. Not hating on this game, I just don't play MMOs
From the very opening cinematic of Star Wars: Old Republic on vi4s.com, which introduces you to the conflict between the Empire and the Republic after the war
The AbleGamers Foundation has given Star Wars: The Old Republic its annual Accessible Mainstream Game of the Year, praising its options .visit to vi4s.com
BioWare claims The Old Republic picked up more than 1 million subscribers in a single week, making it the fastest-growing subscription-based .visit to vi4s.com
Coming from a WoW player and a Star Wars fan this game looks great. I would play this over WoW, but there still are a bunch of cons. WoW has been around way longer, so they have much more trial and error, giving it the great gameplay it has today.
i bought it and returned it on THE SAME DAY . the fighting system is god awful . and the story is bland and repetitive . the best star wars games are always gonna be the ''jedi knights'' series
This was a really fair review that swtor deserves not anything groundbreakingly new and not the worst game in the world, just a good game. I had a hard time getting used to the game at the start. but now when im half way through im glued to the screen
lol. cant stop. The story arc is so friggen exciting!!
I like the stylised graphics - its easy to run on highest settings on the computer and looks nice. it would be worse if they tried to make high end "realistic" detail and half the people wanting to play were crashing all the time.
@Shockwave370 Yes it is, the developers mention that on several occasions. Especially with their "... It's like KOTOR 3, 4, 5, 6 ,7 etc." quote. So relax and do a little research before you get mad at somebody next time. :P
Sound too much like he is reading a script. I know he is. But he could at least try to sound like he isn't. Also, talks too loud. I give this review an 8.
A review should be about how great a game is, and whether you should spend $ on it.if you already have the game and are loving it, dont whine about reviews.
Great review. The reviewer hit on all the points, good and bad. I've played since launch and am loving it. Loads of content, tons of quests, which are all voiced. Great voice acting too. One of my companions is voiced by Lacey Chambert (Party of five, Lost in Space Movie). The companions have thier own story lines as well, If you get them to like you enough, you get to go through their story, which is similar to Mass Effect. Great game. If you're into Sci fi, then you'll love it.
@SirApolloOfficial It doesn't suck at all. It feels exactly like KOTOR1 and 2 but in an MMO setting. I wouldve preferred a KOTOR3, sure, but this is still a great game.
@SirApolloOfficial Agreed, but i think I'd also like faster paced action like mass effect, my first rpg was KOTOR on the original xbox, and I loved the turn based gameplay, but since then I've played other successful rpgs like Fallout or the Elder Scrolls, and I'd take that combat over turn based any day.
@SirApolloOfficial i dissagree ! kotor in mmo just tells us fans that DONT WANT TO PLAY EVERY FUCKING MONTH TO PLAYA VIDEO GAME to fuck off.
tor is fine for people that want to dedicate months of their lives to the game, and i respect that. now a possible kotor 3 is what us, fans that are still students with almost no job want.!!
@bradhuygens Knights of the old republic. Very good game when it game out. never played the second one cause I never had the time too but I was VERY impressed with the first game.
@SirApolloOfficial guys i retract my statement, having played it, i can safely say, its GREAT! it doesnt play like a typical MMO at all, more like guild wars
i guess many people were just thinking this game would be the change in mmo history
people got a bit over exited
i'm just gonna wait for a few patches to pass by till i'm going to try it out
wow is dead, & shouldn't be putting this up but i've been waiting for a good replacement and i haven't found one at all, hoping this will get me going
@misterhoobomaster Yes it is worth it. is it like WOW? Well, if WOW is similar to every other MMO, then yes the game mechanics are like WOW. Yes, you can walk everywhere you want, or take public transport, or ride your speeder. The of the planets are very very large. What to do after 50? Well I (and most players) have not reached 50 yet. That said, you can do all the Flash points (4 man group instantances) on hard mode. You can PVP on the PVP planet which is for 50's, other stuff too.
@TheXXLethal 8 is a very good score, reviewers have made the mistake of giving out to many underservered 10 scores and now we think good scores like 7 or 8 are complete shit. Example, Bulletstorm is a dumb fun game that deserves no more than a respectful 7, not perfect or world changing, but a good game none-the-less. Skyrim wouldn't even be a 10, maybe a 9.5, but no 10. Very few games deserve 10 scores, and few games are true tens, like half life 2.
This guys is a joke space combat is amazing and people need to stop saying it's the same as wow I dont care if they are both mmos this is star wars it's completely different
And another official paid review. Bunch of things that should be a fucking standard in 2012 are not there and all there is to this game is a reskined WoW clone. But we will give it above 8 rating so we get a copy of ME3 to review cause that's the deal with EA
@MyHirogen i swear that you are probably a no life wow player who never has played swtor and raged how millions quit wow to play it so you decide to troll.
@chillpill91 Biodrone and Bioware reply to complaints "you are wow and you conspire to get us waaaa waaaa", I neither play WoW nordo I want to. I did however play SWTOR and happy to inform you that EA origin gave me a refund on the game now because of illegal false advertising.
@az4u100 ugh. I was commenting on a video that I thought was biased. Are you the commenting police? Yes. You are absolutely right. They do have better technology now and can build on what wow did (exactly what wow did with Everquest) and that's just what they did. I totally agree with you. Good point.
This is a great review, quit disliking it. I thing IGN was a bit to generous, and i love the game. A review isn't on personal bias like most dipshits on youtube believe, but on quality. Also an 8 is a great score, game critics made the same mistake as schools and told everyone( or every game) that their special and gave way too many an undeserving 10.
@ploglo13 And 8 isn't a great score. IT's just not sorry this game deserves at least a 9 but Gamespot is fucking stupid and rate everything lower than it should be.
And I know the first couple toons you pick are always your favorite. I'm not talking about. I said this toon ha far more complex combat than any toon I've played regardless of if I liked him or not.
@az4u100 and its kind of unfair to judge every mmo by the standards wow has had 8 years to perfect. (I don't think they've perfected it, rather made it into a race to endgame where all you do is try to get gear) swtor is very much about the community and the journey. I've had a blast but you seem like you wouldnt, so here's a simple idea: stop wasting your time worrying about it and don't play it. Go play wow if that makes you happy. Both games will be around for awhile. I stopped worrying abou
@Brownbagit1 Actualy you where the one who brought WoW into the discussion with your first two comments. Further more it is fair to judge new mmo's to WoW standards since the new released mmo's nowadays can pretty much take a look at what is good about WoW and copy it straight into their own games while also adding new things since they have access to much more advanced technology than when WoW was developed.
Az4u100 Im not talking about raids. They both have raids. I'm talking about getting to end getting to end game. The load times aren't important since you're there you stay there. I actually like space combat. About half way through the missions start getting really fun if you like that star fox kinda thing. Look, I don't know if you think wow was that way out of the box but it wasn't. They've slowly added a ton of things over the years
@DaendyrProductions Yeah, that would make sense, if it wasnt for the fact that you are actualy watching their video's and while doing that you support gamespot, Dont you think thats kinda sad that you dont like gamespot but still cant resist to watch their video's.
@DaendyrProductions So for what reason did you say the ign review is better than the one from gamespot, is it simply because ign gave this game a 9 while gamespot gave a 8? (8=great game) or do you actualy have a better reason than that.
@az4u100 I have a better reason than that. They have been shit for the past year and they just can't review games right anymore. It's not because they gave this game an 8.
@DaendyrProductions How can you know, you said in a previous comment that you dont regularly watch gamespot reviews but only watched this one to compare it to ign's review and then came to the conclusion that gamespot 'cant review games anymore' but at the same time you are saying that this review was fine.
@az4u100 I watched Gamespot video reviews regularly about a month ago, even though they sucked. Now I can't stand them anymore so I don't watch them anymore. And I made a mistake, this review wasn't fine. I meant to say that this review sucked. Sorry about that.
@DaendyrProductions Indeed, You just made a fool out of yourself and showed what kind of a primitive person you are with all the things you said, its pretty obvious you dont know anything about reviews, you cant even think of a reason why you find this review bad, kinda pathetic dont you think.
@az4u100 what is your problem? This game deserves a better score, and plenty of other games. That is why gamespot sucks, ok? Or do I have to draw it for you?
@az4u100 and what does that mean wow is the best on the market 'fact'. Im not even sure what you were trying to do by saying 'fact'. And it's not 'fact'. It's an opinion. It was my favorite too but that still doesn't make it 'fact', whatever 'fact' means.
@az4u100 it's hard to pick a favorite thing in which this game blows wow out of the water but if I had to I'd say it's the combat. The first class I picked up also happens to be the most rewarding and challenging class I've played (knight sentinel). It's always changing depending on who your fighting. Im not saying wow wasn't great. I'm just saying this is as much an improvement of wow as wow was to Everquest. I was just upset he acted like wow intended it all.
@az4u100 do you really want to go down this road? Are you actually gonna defend what wow has become? A game where any 10 year old can pick it up and play it?
1-difficulty - it actually provides a challenge to even seasoned players
2- combat is waaaay more complex and you can't get by one 5 buttons
3 - story, well, 8 different stories by 8 different head writers all interweaving
4 no cross server dungeon finder
5 no "grinding". Leveling is actually a pleasure and not work
Terrible review. This guy obviously has not looked really done his homework on the mechanics of the game. Close minded and unfortunately not an accurate review IMO.
WTF is with this review...all the problems he has with the game are problems you find in almost every MMO, other than the light side and Dark side choices, which I've yet to choose my actions based on equipment but instead I choose on what I think my character would do, Take my Bounter Hunter I'm playing her as a cold ass bitch that just wants to get paid the most and doesn't like being stabbed in the back so I play her like that and I've missed some sweet gear.
The reviewer says the facial features are flat? Is he for real. Fair enough saying the textures are not that great, but i think the faces on all the characters look really good for a mmo.
I have a 21 merc and so far its addictive. On the one hand, the variety of classes/races is disappointing, but the combat and actual gameplay is a lot of fun. This game being in its infacy, I'd say its really good. The story missions really suck you in, and heroic missions/flashpoints are great. Then again, playing a bounty hunter, I just blow stuff up.
If you like WoW, Star Wars, and Bioware games, you should really check this game out! Yeah he's pointing out a lot of flaws, but most of these flaws he's saying can be fixed with future patches. In some areas, at least in the beginning ones, you will be backtracking over the same area doing missions. I'm still in Coruscant, lvl 16 Jedi Guardian. Coruscant is big but it only has like 3 points to explore. The Auction house seems to be working now but could still use some improvements.
Great. Pvp is absolutely the best in any mmo right now. It's far better than he gave it credit for, and it doesn't pander to casual gamers like wow did to get more subscribers. And the problems he had with Pvp are going to be changed shortly. Some people don't even like that idea
He's way too hard on it. He gives the review an 8 and spends 50% of the time talking about its flaws. With a game this big in surprised most of it worked well. The auction house is flawed but they'll obviously fix that and they're already rolling out a patch that fixes a lot f what he complained about. Was wow groundbreaking, gamespot? No. It improved on Everquest. I loved wow but this game made it obsolete by rolling back the changes that made wow suck and building on the things that made it g
@Brownbagit1 Alright, why dont you start by naming 5 things that this game improves compared to WoW.
From what i have seen so far if you have played WoW (the best MMO on the market 'fact') you have pretty much played all mmo's since they coppy alot of stuff from it the only thing that this game may have that is new is the fact that all the dialog is voice acted.
@az4u100 A lot of cut-scenes. Your own choices of dialogue and what to do. Companions who talk to you and whom you love. You make your own characters decisions when talking to NPCs/other. A lot more in-depth roleplay/character focus rather than WoW... which is all just level to max, then PvP/PvE over and over for the best gear.
@noobface123 Indeed the choices/companions and the voice acting is great for the immersion into the game world, but as the reviewer said the world isnt a sandbox kind of world where you could travel for long distances and discover interesting things, area's are instances so i guess you wont be seeing other players in those area's. Besides what do you do when you reach endgame in Swtor? im sure it will be pretty much the same as in any mmo, pvp,raid,get better gear.etc

And another official paid review. Bunch of things that should be a fucking standard in 2012 are not there and all there is to this game is a reskined WoW clone. But we will give it above 8 rating so we get a copy of ME3 to review cause that's the deal with EA

@az4u100 ugh. I was commenting on a video that I thought was biased. Are you the commenting police? Yes. You are absolutely right. They do have better technology now and can build on what wow did (exactly what wow did with Everquest) and that's just what they did. I totally agree with you. Good point.
Brownbagit1 1 month ago
This is a great review, quit disliking it. I thing IGN was a bit to generous, and i love the game. A review isn't on personal bias like most dipshits on youtube believe, but on quality. Also an 8 is a great score, game critics made the same mistake as schools and told everyone( or every game) that their special and gave way too many an undeserving 10.

@ploglo13 And 8 isn't a great score. IT's just not sorry this game deserves at least a 9 but Gamespot is fucking stupid and rate everything lower than it should be.

Brownbagit1 1 month ago
@az4u100 and its kind of unfair to judge every mmo by the standards wow has had 8 years to perfect. (I don't think they've perfected it, rather made it into a race to endgame where all you do is try to get gear) swtor is very much about the community and the journey. I've had a blast but you seem like you wouldnt, so here's a simple idea: stop wasting your time worrying about it and don't play it. Go play wow if that makes you happy. Both games will be around for awhile. I stopped worrying abou
Brownbagit1 1 month ago
@Brownbagit1 Actualy you where the one who brought WoW into the discussion with your first two comments. Further more it is fair to judge new mmo's to WoW standards since the new released mmo's nowadays can pretty much take a look at what is good about WoW and copy it straight into their own games while also adding new things since they have access to much more advanced technology than when WoW was developed.
az4u100 1 month ago
Az4u100 Im not talking about raids. They both have raids. I'm talking about getting to end getting to end game. The load times aren't important since you're there you stay there. I actually like space combat. About half way through the missions start getting really fun if you like that star fox kinda thing. Look, I don't know if you think wow was that way out of the box but it wasn't. They've slowly added a ton of things over the years

@DaendyrProductions Yeah, that would make sense, if it wasnt for the fact that you are actualy watching their video's and while doing that you support gamespot, Dont you think thats kinda sad that you dont like gamespot but still cant resist to watch their video's.

@az4u100 I'm not watching their videos. I just came here to compare IGN's review and Gamespot's. That doesn't mean I regularly watch their videos.
DaendyrProductions 1 month ago
@DaendyrProductions So for what reason did you say the ign review is better than the one from gamespot, is it simply because ign gave this game a 9 while gamespot gave a 8? (8=great game) or do you actualy have a better reason than that.
az4u100 1 month ago
@az4u100 I have a better reason than that. They have been shit for the past year and they just can't review games right anymore. It's not because they gave this game an 8.

@DaendyrProductions How can you know, you said in a previous comment that you dont regularly watch gamespot reviews but only watched this one to compare it to ign's review and then came to the conclusion that gamespot 'cant review games anymore' but at the same time you are saying that this review was fine.
az4u100 1 month ago
@az4u100 I watched Gamespot video reviews regularly about a month ago, even though they sucked. Now I can't stand them anymore so I don't watch them anymore. And I made a mistake, this review wasn't fine. I meant to say that this review sucked. Sorry about that.

@az4u100 it's hard to pick a favorite thing in which this game blows wow out of the water but if I had to I'd say it's the combat. The first class I picked up also happens to be the most rewarding and challenging class I've played (knight sentinel). It's always changing depending on who your fighting. Im not saying wow wasn't great. I'm just saying this is as much an improvement of wow as wow was to Everquest. I was just upset he acted like wow intended it all.

@az4u100 do you really want to go down this road? Are you actually gonna defend what wow has become? A game where any 10 year old can pick it up and play it?
1-difficulty - it actually provides a challenge to even seasoned players
2- combat is waaaay more complex and you can't get by one 5 buttons
3 - story, well, 8 different stories by 8 different head writers all interweaving
4 no cross server dungeon finder
5 no "grinding". Leveling is actually a pleasure and not work

@Brownbagit1 Well,
1- WoW also provides challenge, have you ever been number1 in a arena season?done all heroic raids+achievments?
2- The usual simple mmo combat system.
3- Story/voice acting and dialog choices are indeed an improvement.
4- This could be considered a downside since you wont find dungeon groups as fast as if this sytem was put in place.
5- Your first few characters are always a pleasure to level up (also in WoW) it becomes boring the longer you play.

MasonIce1999 1 month ago
WTF is with this review...all the problems he has with the game are problems you find in almost every MMO, other than the light side and Dark side choices, which I've yet to choose my actions based on equipment but instead I choose on what I think my character would do, Take my Bounter Hunter I'm playing her as a cold ass bitch that just wants to get paid the most and doesn't like being stabbed in the back so I play her like that and I've missed some sweet gear.
sorry n-rage there...bad review

The reviewer says the facial features are flat? Is he for real. Fair enough saying the textures are not that great, but i think the faces on all the characters look really good for a mmo.

I have a 21 merc and so far its addictive. On the one hand, the variety of classes/races is disappointing, but the combat and actual gameplay is a lot of fun. This game being in its infacy, I'd say its really good. The story missions really suck you in, and heroic missions/flashpoints are great. Then again, playing a bounty hunter, I just blow stuff up.

If you like WoW, Star Wars, and Bioware games, you should really check this game out! Yeah he's pointing out a lot of flaws, but most of these flaws he's saying can be fixed with future patches. In some areas, at least in the beginning ones, you will be backtracking over the same area doing missions. I'm still in Coruscant, lvl 16 Jedi Guardian. Coruscant is big but it only has like 3 points to explore. The Auction house seems to be working now but could still use some improvements.

Great. Pvp is absolutely the best in any mmo right now. It's far better than he gave it credit for, and it doesn't pander to casual gamers like wow did to get more subscribers. And the problems he had with Pvp are going to be changed shortly. Some people don't even like that idea
Brownbagit1 1 month ago
He's way too hard on it. He gives the review an 8 and spends 50% of the time talking about its flaws. With a game this big in surprised most of it worked well. The auction house is flawed but they'll obviously fix that and they're already rolling out a patch that fixes a lot f what he complained about. Was wow groundbreaking, gamespot? No. It improved on Everquest. I loved wow but this game made it obsolete by rolling back the changes that made wow suck and building on the things that made it g
Brownbagit1 1 month ago
@Brownbagit1 Alright, why dont you start by naming 5 things that this game improves compared to WoW.
From what i have seen so far if you have played WoW (the best MMO on the market 'fact') you have pretty much played all mmo's since they coppy alot of stuff from it the only thing that this game may have that is new is the fact that all the dialog is voice acted.
az4u100 1 month ago
@az4u100 A lot of cut-scenes. Your own choices of dialogue and what to do. Companions who talk to you and whom you love. You make your own characters decisions when talking to NPCs/other. A lot more in-depth roleplay/character focus rather than WoW... which is all just level to max, then PvP/PvE over and over for the best gear.
noobface123 1 month ago
@noobface123 Indeed the choices/companions and the voice acting is great for the immersion into the game world, but as the reviewer said the world isnt a sandbox kind of world where you could travel for long distances and discover interesting things, area's are instances so i guess you wont be seeing other players in those area's. Besides what do you do when you reach endgame in Swtor? im sure it will be pretty much the same as in any mmo, pvp,raid,get better gear.etc
