EA must have bought MMORPG off ;) Yes, the above statement is a joke. |

I can agree with this. I would put it in the 8 range myself. Perhaps not in the high 8s but 8 none the less. There are several things that need work but I think for the most part they have created an excellent game.

As a single player RPG I'd rate it a 8.5 As a MMORPG I'd rate it a 3.5 Combine those ratings together and you have a: 6.0 The game deserves no higher than a 6.. If you played TOR through its storyline, it quickly becomes a 1... So, after a month or two, no one in their right mind would have any real desire or passion to log on their "main" anymore,, unless your two boxing and plan on power leveling another class. :P

As a long standing player of MMORPG's, and a veteran of the "Overhyped MMO" era. I can honestly say that SWTOR is just another over-hyped singleplayer StarWars game with COOP elements.

I agree with the points made in the review, from an observer having watched many videos. But from the points themselves I feel some categories have been given an inflated rating. Asthetics, 9/10 even when they admit themselves you can't configure the UI and the game isn't visually stunning but still does well through it's art style. I agree that the art style is nice but surely with a static UI and not state of the art graphics this should of been a 7? Gameplay, 9/10. Again they admit it's repetitive but on steroids for higher levels and nothing else is anything innovative and is missing quiet a few features. Again it doesn't sound like it should of been a 9/10 maybe a 7 tops. The game is probably around a 7.5-8 overall but I havn't played. I won't be buying myself, bored of the standard MMO model. |

I agree with the review pretty much 100%... although my personal review is slightly lower. This is a great game and I am enjoying myself thoroughly. |

Oh boy. Cue the "This site's review is paid for " whines...
And yes, I agree with the review for the most part. Only thing I disagree with is the crafting. Yes it's fun to do, but it's too expensive and mostly pointless unless you are a bio-chem or cybertech.
NGE killed SWG. Get over it like the rest of us did in 2005. |

I was ready to throw "Moron of The Year Award" at the reviewer, when I suddenly realised: these days MMORPGs just simply suck so much ass that even a POS like SWTOR actually deserves this high rating when comparing to other POS MMOs on the market. |

Originally posted by Pilnkplonk Eh you might be both, DA2 was easly in the 80s. Just because it's not a copy of the first doesn't make it bad. It's a great game with 10x the content of most games released these days, and the combat alone is fun as hell. |

Yeah, I trust Metacritic's averaged user reviews a lot more than the professional reviews. Professional reviews rate almost everything good, for whatever reason. It's like, as long as the game works ok, it defaults to a 7. If its any fun at all, they add points from there. Makes the numerical scale almost useless.
I think its because they try to be unbiased, but everyone is biased. Professional reviewers look at game after game, and even if they're bored by it, they don't want to risk rating it lower than a 7, just because they're feeling burned out, or whatever. OTOH, if they're a fan of the game, they won't see any problem rating it too highly.
User reviews, OTOH, take all sorts of biases into account. Some people are haters, some are fanbois, and when you average it all out, you get something a lot closer to the real story. When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world. |

Crafting is fun? "What sets “Crew Skills” apart from your typical crafting experience is the fact that the system is entirely time based and isn’t actually done by the player character" I don't really see the fun in having AI do it for you. Is the review leaving something out here? Seems more like it's a minigame rather than crafting. I guess if they're going to have a boring crafting system it might as well be automated, though. Doesn't seem like this should be a pro to me at all. More like a wash. |
