Tahana Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 it's a video, what was the conclusion for those of us at work? The overall review was 8.6 and I think it was pretty spot on.. They even talk about it have a lack of responsiveness at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhazeFadis Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I think the review is a bit high - and he could've touched on some of the more noticeably absent features of the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviewers do their bet to separate emotion and try to be objective. Otherwise they are a fail as a reviewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHeadCapper Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I think the review is a bit high - and he could've touched on some of the more noticeably absent features of the game... I know right like how it doesn't play at all like pong or space invaders, ***? He reviewed the game for what it is not what he would make it if he was a developer.

Blackavaar Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I think it was a fair review. It highlighted the game's good points and bad points. No, he didn't throw the game in front of the bus, as some of you would like, but then a good reviewer is objective, which this most certainly was. Kudos!

Xanideyn Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Agreed, this is a good review. He leaves the door open to the fact that the game is lacking a lot of features that will likely be added over time but still accomplishes what it set out to do.

Merihim Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Spot on, i always enjoy Gametrailers reviews. Some of the best for me, on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaberSecreT Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Gametrailers is always a good source of reviews for me, they really treat games from a very neutral spot on way. I really love how they trashed FFXIV to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themacr Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I think the review is a bit high - and he could've touched on some of the more noticeably absent features of the game... Thats like reviewing a movie and giving it -point for not having sandra bullock in it.. How can u review stuff that aint there? He should focus on what IS there and review that.

ArkhamNative Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) This review score seems about what I would give it. Trouble is, the game is so huge that dozens of aspects could get their own review score. PvP, story, replayability, technical merits, zone design, pew pew (space combat), heck even a platform game aspect. On top of that, the game was launched unfinished and unpolished. With such a high score, the reviewer must have ignored some of those blemishes, assuming they would be fixed within months of launch. Way back when, like around Empire Strikes Back, I read a newspaper article giving Star Wars a luke-warm review, saying it fell short of the Star Trek franchise (which at that point was only the original series). That seems laughably short-sighted now, but it reminds me of forum posters who vociferously condemn the game for not being enough like what they're used to, rather than let SWTOR be, and become, its own game.
