The Old Republic: An In-Depth MMO Review

Star Wars: The Old Republic hits store shelves today (December 20th), so what better way to welcome it into our MMO lives than with a long, in-depth review of it's many fundamental aspects. This game is absolutely good enough to be the fabled World of Warcraft killer that has been prophesied.

You have no idea how hard it was for me to take time out of playing this game to actually make a review, I was wasting precious questing time! It's that good.

Why do people compare EVERY SINGLE MMO to wow, MMO's were around b4 wow.. am I the only one that seems to realize that wtf..

[zzking24]

WoW is such an overrated load of horse shit, its fucking annoying. This is the first mmo in a long time that i think can finally end its reign of being "the best" cause frankly, its not even close to being the best, imo, this one already is closer then WoW ever was.

Wow... this is a terrible review. How about you tell us what you're doing? Here I'm using x ability, on y enemy. This is the z class, it specializes in this and that. Here's the menu, here's the crafting, here's how ranged combat works, here's how melee combat works. As you can see in conversation there is dialogue choices which is... blah blah. Coherent, goes along with the video. Not just you nerdgasming over it. Useless review.

Graphics wise its a real eye treat but then again i have a radeon 6870 but fuck those a real gamer doesnt care that much about that expecially in an mmo, the gameplay in PVE(and PVE only) is AWESOME,the story catches you and really hides the gridn feeling wich is the most important thing for me so in my opinion is a wonderful game. PVP wise is complete bullshit with ability delay of 1sec,glitchy as hell with a few more players on screen,stupid pvp goals etc,in short if u play PVE buy it. :)

I"m thinking of getting it. Any weird copy protection stuff like they did with Spore, do I have to have my disc in my drive while I play it?

@Rbentislegit

WoW revolutionized mmo gameplay that is why.

@montanastranger the graphics are good you need a good computer.

[eirik1234321]

@kogalmaster its called a mmo deal with it. at least this has story and characters and reason for dsoing quests

[PsiBlades14]

[mastakilla64]

the story blows oblivion's out of the water? most episodes of dora the explorer blow oblivion's story out of the water.

I noticed you were being sarcastic in this review when you said Oblivion had a great story. Almost got me Stan. Really well played.
