Seriously, I come here every few days hoping things get better.  But they don't.....but it's good for a laugh.

 

Here's my opinion....do with it what you will....

 

Play the game. You will enjoy it. Even if you play for only a few months, that is worth the game price. Most people shell out 50-60 bucks for a game they play once or twice.  If you get bored, cancel and move on to something you do enjoy.  PLEASE refrain from posting here about how you hate the game you don't play....and try to convince everyone not to play it as well.

 

That just makes you look like a douchebag.

What... because people will actually criticisize the game they are douchebags?  Funny how prior advocates were  rampent around the forums praising the game this and that n then the tables have turned, general consensus is massive dissapointnment.  Argueable "paid* reviews rate the game in 8.5 on avg and yet Metacritic user reviews are settling at 5.7.... who is to be believed more?  Some reviewer that many considered as paid reviews, either directly or indirectly, or by users who bought the game, played it weeks or months at times and gave out their 2 cents and reviews?  Hell even your long time advocates even threw in their towel like DarkPony and you never hear from other advocates.

50-60 bucks is fresh on the market games while a lot of good games can be bought at a fraction of that price, not to mention once you tally up subs you're more looking at 100+ bucks for a boorish MMO what people call a CoOp SRPG than an MMO.

No, it's not.  It's actually quite good, depending on what kind of game you are looking for.  Do you still enjoy themepark MMOs?  Then this game is very good.  Don't listen to the haters.  They didn't enjoy it.  Doesn't mean you won't.  Game has over a million and a half subscribers currently, so obviously somebody out there likes it.

At the very worst...and I mean worst...you can play the game as a single player story-driven rpg to level cap and more than get your money's worth.  

 

 

Except the fact your number quote as the launch numbers which no MMO in history has ever maintained launch numers, maybe WoW but not sure even they maintained their sub numbers and it took many months before surpassing their launch numbers.  All indications are that subs are way below lauch numbers.

World of Warcraft has a 93 reviewer metacritic and yet the user reviews are setting a 6.9.  That game must actually suck all the reviewers were paid etc etc etc

SWTOR is a good game but like every game out there, it won't be to everyones taste. Same as some people absolutely love eve online and others don't. I purchased dragonage after alot were raving about how great it was yet I found it a bore.

My suggestion is play the game for yourself as its the only way you will know if you like it or not.

Got a friend to give me a 7 day trial, client is download atm.

I was never a star wars fan or anything, was more into the EQ type mmo's but im looking for a new game, not much mmo's out there aswell.. so i had to try something different. I was checking YouTube videos of the game and the pvp, looks pretty fun to me, im sure the player base is still stable with over 1.5 million subs.

I'll give it a try, if i like it, i'll continue playing, if not then.. i'll just wait for another mmo to come out (TSW)

Lets hope this gets me hooked, it really does look fun based on the videos and gameplay footages on YouTube.

SWTOR is basically Warhammer Online but with lightsabers.  If you compare the two games mechanics wise, you will find that they are very similar.  It makes sense because Mythic worked on both games and I have a feeling during the production stage of SWTOR, there were certain things that Mythic would say "Oh we know exactly how to implement that.  We'll handle it".

Unfortunately Warhammer Online was mediocre and Mythic is no longer a reputable developer.  The only thing that really shines in SWTOR is the story telling - and that is because Bioware controlled that aspect of the game.  But even then, you will probably find yourself skipping most of the story telling at one point, as a large majority of the community did.  Everything else is mediocre: The gameplay, the warzones, the pvp, the pve, the quest, the polish, the crafting, ect.

I would give the game a 6/10.

Wondering if it's worth buying? i heard a lot of negative feed back about this game, but just like every mmo i suppose..

Also is there a way i can purchase via download? similar to D2D?

Since some people love it and some don't, you should decide for yourself I think. I've played games other people have thought were pants and had fun and other's everyone has raved about have made me think hu?!

Most people seem to think (according to what I've read here) that the box price is worth the first month of play. I agree. I got a lot of fun out of the first 30 days and don't regret buying the game. Community opinion seems to be extremely divided after that first month when it's time to decide if you want to sub or not.

I played for a while. 50 bounty hunter and 43 shadow. Its a fun leveling game. It really is. It lacks in the endgame department though. Daily quests and pvp grinding are just not my thing these days. But it could be yours, who knows. I say spend the money, you'll get at least 75 hours out of it. And thats as many hours as a good RPG, with the same price tag.

I played for two months, it would seem thats worth 60 dollars.

Rule of thumb...

 

Never ever listen to anyones opinion on this site.  Everyone is a troll!

 

However, the opinions of others are more or less wrong.  I won't tell you if the game is good or not, but 60 dollars will give you more hours of entertainment in SW TOR than just about ANYWHERE else you could spend it.

Movies?  That'll get you 4-5 shows @ 90 minutes a show

Bar?  60 bucks will last you a night at best

Dinner out?  Unless you eat at McDonalds, 60 bucks might get you 2-3 meals

Skydriving?  Cost you way more for 1 trip

 

I think you get my point?  60 bucks will get you at least a week of solid gaming out of this title and thats more than you can expect from just about anything else. 

People are right about one thing, if you're looking for a world to spend the next 6 years in, this is not the game for you. 

Yep true you just went tp the vanguard saga of heros forum and trolled it,  amd for no reason at all, just to troll. Shame on you~!

I'm going to say that honestly you should wait a year. By that time the nature of the game will be pretty well set. You will have more content, and the bugs/bad systems should be gone.

This is true for all MMOs IMO.

This site is frequented by a disproportionate amount of sandbox gamers, and themepark games draw their ire. Thus you need to decide which side of the fence you fall upon. If you prefer sandbox mechanics(Trader created loot vs MOB dropped loot, PVP focused, open worlds to build houses), then chances are you wont like it.

If your thing is PVE content, and you like other BW games, then there is a good chance you will enjoy this game.

I happen to like the game, but what interests you isnt something I can tell ya. That is something you need to decide for yourself when it pertains to what focus you enjoy out of your MMO gaming.

If themeparks arent your thing, then I would suggest checking out games like EVE, or the  TBA launch date of ArcheAge. GL in your search.
