I rarely use this website unless I want to guage what a new games like before buying it . To look at some of the comments here you would think StarWars the Old Republic is a terrible game . So I went searching the web to see if I could find a review thats negative about it . So far every one I've come across sings its praises. So I would like to challege someone to find a negative review (as long as its from a reasonably legitimate source ie a relativly well known gaming website ,newpaper or magazine website . Not someones blog review or a gaming site that invites people to submit thier own reviews . I'm sure there must be a few out there but all in all the reviews I've seen are overwealmingly possative . |

That sandboxer site. There was also a site dedicated to WoW that gave it a poor review. Join the League For Gamers. |

This has been discussed many times. If you think that so many people being disatisfied with the game are just mindless haters, play the game and try and find all this glorious PvP, amazing aesthetics and 8/10 innovations. Simple as that. Then you'll understand how ridiculous those scores are for a game like this. It's a good generic game in the Star Wars Universe.. but it certainly isn't as good as most of those reviews. "This creature softened my heart of stone.

A website writes a bad review of SWTOR. Result: The Star Wars fans go crazy and boycott the site and start flaming and badmouthing it. So: Websites write good reviews of SWTOR. The fans are happy, and most others just shrug. Let's play Fallen Earth (from launch to present) |

i remember some guy getting fired over giving a bad game review, so i seriously doubt you'll see many places take the chance of pissing off a major Dev but trashing their game. i don't think anyones paid off i just think no site wants to get black listed.

EA doesn't allow them in BETAS and removes advertising in their magazines/websites
So: Websites writes good reviews of SWTOR. The airmchair bosses are happy, and most others just shrug "I am not a robot. I am a unicorn." |

We can all agree that Tianic is one of the best movies? Or? SWTOR is new, shiney and certainly entertaining at least 20 hours so it is a good game. |

I wouldn't put that much into reviews. I played the game for a week, and it was a good solid game. However, it wasn't mind blowing or crazy awesome. The graphics are okay, the story is okay, and the quests are okay. And I have played WOW, Champions, Warhammer, Everquest II, Lord of the Rings, EVE Online, Age Of Conan...and I am probably leaving a few out. Anyways, it is a good game. But, don't expect OMG this is the best game ever. Currently Play: ? |

Originally posted by Fir3line This is probably the case, very hard to write a bad review if you accept advertising money from game companies. But also you have to be fair and try to measure a title vs what other did before and what is currently available and not on how you would have preferred it to built. So its fair to compare it to WOW and its gameplay mechanics but not EVE. It's also not fair to put too much weight into limitations that are more subjective or aethetic which might be a huge issue for you personally (i.e. customizable UI or in depth character cutomization) but really has no real impact on actual gameplay. Review scores have become so compressed at the upper end of the scale these days that the text of the review frequently implies a much lower score than it ultimately receives. (like the one MikeB did on this site) I guess we now have to assume that a score of 8.7 is the new "6 or 7" (a bit above average) and for a game to be really great it better get a 9.5 or higher.

Originally posted by gorro187 That link is misleading. It wasn't really a review, so much as a loose impressions piece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrsBIDJbFQc I just find it interesting that the only ones that had anything negative to say, just happened to be a magazine with nothing to lose. They might have been the only ones who could afford to be honest.

Originally posted by Kyleran There probably some truth to that . But quite frankly given the amount of trolling in these forums and that moderation seems to be very slow to deal with it( or maybe they agree with some of it because no ones unbiased ) its amazing that developers arn't removing advertising revenue from this site already. It seems to be a pretty toxic to me and developers would be far better not supporting it for many of the same reasons .I've looked at some of the oldest posts on the more popular games on these forums and every one of them seems to be torn to shreds at release . If I were a developer I would want to have nothing to do with this site . It appears to be troll central . |
