The fact that "Story" is not part of this mmoRPG review tells me that it is not honest. In fact, im seeing more than a few rather important MMORPG features not a part of this review...no wonder its getting a 7.7 If you leave out a lot of bad or bland, every game is good... “I hope we shall crush...in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country." ~Thomes Jefferson |

I completely agree with this score. Its a fun game, with great graphics and an innovative combat style, but overall it doesnt impress Cluck Cluck, Gibber Gibber, My Old Mans A Mushroom |

Originally posted by ElVisitante I'm guessing that you didn't read this review where it says at the beginning "over the course of four previous Review in Progress articles. See exhibits A, B, C, and D"... heh This is a standalone review...one that doesnt even mention the WORD story in it as well as other game aspects because it would have taken the 7.7 and made it a little lower...like 5.7 Anyone rating the story higher than 1 is insane...it didnt even get good ratings in Korea, Japan or China where it may have made sense. So yeah...reviewing an mmoRPG and not even mentioning the story at all...once... “I hope we shall crush...in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country." ~Thomes Jefferson |

Originally posted by jtcgs Reviews in progress are reviews that are not finished yet. Together, they make a finished review. So yes, I am guessing you didn't read those parts. [mod edit] |

Originally posted by heartless I agree except giving TERA a higher score.. because of actual content.. Sure SWTOR game itself was bleh but had a ton more going for it than TERA content wise at launch and considering how long TERA has actually existed... Overall both games to me are pretty meh but i'd rate SWTOR over TERA as of now sadly.. still trying to get a bit higher in TERA to make a better observation though. But in SWTOR i really had a ton more to do at the current stage of the game I'm currently at in TERA. I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

No, this is a summary of the previous 4 reviews in progress. This is not a standalone review, hence why the OP included the links to the 4 previous reviews in progress. Go read the other 4 articles. If you want to include story, that would get a 1 and bring the overall score down. We can do that if you want...... Cluck Cluck, Gibber Gibber, My Old Mans A Mushroom |

Or are you supporting me in saying this is not an honest review because they are leavingout key points while applying its score...lol...afterall, this is a summary of a 4 page review and there is no mention of the story or other key gameplay issues not in...the summary...where they are giving a rating and why its getting the rating. 5 paragraph summary of gameplay for a rating of 8...a 5 paragraph summary leaving out the most negative aspects... it isnt honest no matter the spin. There is no mention of the most negative aspects on the final, separate article, where ratings are being applied and the information about the worst parts of the game is being excluded.

The score seems fair...frankly I'm not as impressed by "True Action Combat" as others...both boss fights in the video pretty much consisted of stand there, spam your best DPS/TPS rotation, stay the hell outta aoes. block whenever he looks like he's gonna swing.
Which matches my own personal experience in beta, and is why I didn't get the game. I felt the pacing was nice, and I can see the niceness of the tab key going away, but I didn't feel like the game made was much out of it's "real-time moving combat" as it could have.
All the same "slightly better than average" seems fair. Very pretty, mindbogglingly dull quests, fun combat, but I felt like it all got old fast. |

I think a lot of people saw this game somewhere between a score of 7 and 8, especially with the buzz about the old questing experience. |

Thank you for the review. If SWTOR is a 8.7 and this is 7.7, then I would rather spend my time gargling broken glass then playing this game. I appreciate being steered away from TERA, thanks again.  |

With all due respect, and remember I said with all due respect, that ain't worth a velvet painting of a dolphin and whale getting it on. |
