that is similar, yes. plenty of bugs, plenty of queues and such.

but i dont think that would be something to say "come play swtor, its had the same problems as wow when it came out"

doesnt seem right

Story is interesting, but feels like a grind.

PvP doesn't feel polished.

Haven't experienced a whole lot of high end pve content, so can't say anything about that.

Overall probably give it a 5.5 right now.

Gave it an 8

Reason:

The game is overall really nice, looks good and fun as hell
The PvP part is actually alot of fun but playing a sniper with the 2 sec delay makes it pretty much impossible to do anything beside dps'ing the shit out of everything
The Auction house needs a new interfase i HATE BROWSING THAT AH!
Story line is Simply AMAZING actually 11/10 there or even 12/10
Alot of gliches around, but the most annoying is The Heroic chest part (If you wipe on a boss with a chest as reward it bugs out and u cant loot it)
i dont like the Animation lag over Cd Lag tough, not one bit, u can abuse it tough but that's it
so 8/10 overall if they fix all the glitches and make a better ah it will be an AMAZING game, lets just hope they do it fast so ppl dont go back to WoW =(

bump

I hope you liked wow because its almost an identical copy of it with a star wars theme.

inb4 wow wasn't the first mmo like that; that isn't my point.

Edit: I forgot the pvp seems pretty dry compared to that of wow; some classes simply dominate others; and the brackets are all 10-0 so you can have 10s vs lvl 50s; although they "balance the gear" the lack of talent trees in the 10s causes a large gap in power

games alright, my first MMO. I really hate the long walks, not used to those with the limited teleports and mobility gets kinda tedious

Its a painfully obvious sign of people who havent played the game enough when they call TOR identical to WoW. If you forget the MMO characteristics that nearly all MMOs have which you try to dismiss to prove you flawed point,its vastly diffrent. There is no similarities in quests (And not just random quests, all quests)

5/10 but only because it held my attention for longer than 7 days.
Until I realized I've been playing this game for over 10 years now.

Have seen little to zero innovation with this game. The new patch coming up sounds like it might have a nifty feature (you get to hold a flashlight during a raid!...) other than that, its all rehashed.

Quite a let down for spending about 1 grand on a pc specifically to play this game at its highest quality, only to find out that as well is non existant because apparently "some people run poorly".

Have found plenty of games that give me some kind of wow factor (not the shitty game) like rift's rifts for example really brought everyone together in a zone and dished out equal rewards, I'm sure something similar has been done before but they did a good job of making it exciting.

Swtor sadly falls short of bringing anything new to the table.

(excellent voice acting does not make an excellent game all on its own)



When you're right you're right.
Atleast they brought some interesting quests to do from time to time, with weird styles of play (remembering lasso and bombing runs from tbc)
Swtor has 4 kinds of quests.

Collect 5 npc drops.
Beat 30 people
blow up 4 computer terminals
beat boss.

Heroics are just glorified versions of the same exact thing.
Sadly they are the only escape from this single player experience you encounter the entire game.

I'd write an actual in depth review, but I'm busy finding something else to purchase.

Gave it a Strong 3/10.


Not going to make this all neat and clean, just because I don't feel like this games worth it.
Too many glitches:

Everything is broke, flashpoints have all sorts of bugs even before entering the instance.
Items have so many bugs, it's not funny.
Not much to do at 50, unless you do Datacrons which are sort of fun.

Dailies are not worth doing, you end up getting better gear through ops raiding. Btw, the hardest difficulty is a joke, first week of 50 and every thing is cleared; wtf. I understand it's suppose to be shit its first content release ect, but come on. This game is still in beta, end of story.

thank you, good to know im not the only one who feels like bioware sold me a $60 beta pass.
