SirRobin Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Meh... TOR is a "good" game and it sure as hell should be considering how much time, talent, and treasure was spent on it. Wouldn't call it a "great" game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewser Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Right. But a more interesting question is why are you wasting time on a game's forum when you should be playing? I have a conference call that starts in 10 mins and have been sending out sales proposals in between posts this morning. Gotta pay the bills, life is not all fun and games. Now answer my question - if you think the game is crap, why are you still here? Edited February 16, 2012 by Drewser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzras Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 They obviously didn't level to 50. I leveled to 50. Is it wrong for me to still enjoy the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewser Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Cause he paid? So because he paid he should spend time on something he thinks is crap? Seems like a normal person would have more interesting/productive things to do with their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jett-Rinn Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) They obviously didn't level to 50. Actually he could not have done any of the things he reviewed in detail unless he did and the review is Huge and very in depth. But regardless what about all those people who did level to 50 and still love the game; why is you opinion more valid than theirs??

Gilbara Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 TS you mean this review? http://www.egmnow.com/articles/egm-review-star-wars-the-old-republic/ POSTED ON February 8, 2012 AT 12:01pm By Marc Camron, Content Edito EGM REVIEW: STAR WARS: THE OLD REPUBLIC SUMMARY: One of the most ambitious and expensive game projects comes to fruition with Star Wars: The Old Republic. A fully realized MMORPG, The Old Republic proves that World of Warcraft doesn’t stand alone online. Best of all, the game is undeniably a BioWare production. The story progression for each class—eight in all—would make a respectable standalone game. Put together in this massive shell, it’s a revelation. Whether you’re an experienced MMORPG player looking for a new experience, a Star Wars fan wanting some solid role-playing action, or a newbie just looking for a great game, Star Wars: The Old Republic is worth your attention. THE GOOD: Some of the best RPG storytelling in recent memory—eight times over.THE BAD: The occasional bugs. Something to be expected in a game of this size, but difficult to deal with when a mission won’t complete.THE UGLY: The amount of time this game will suck from your life. Let’s hope you have an understanding family. SCORE: 9.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsarionRDM Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Metacritic gives it an 85 out of 100 while users give it a 5.9 out of 10. http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/star-wars-the-old-republic Well, you all know the saying about opinions...

Pink_Saber Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) I like "THE BAD" lol. The occasional bugs. Understatement of the year. Funny, but I rarely run into bugs. They're pretty "occasional" for me, too. Not that they don't exist, but for the most part they haven't effected me very significantly at all. As far as I'm concerned, the forumgoers here are much more guilty of overstating the bugs than EGM is of understating them.

Aisar Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Just picked up the latest Issue of EGM; huge in depth article about TOR.....they seem to be very happy with the end result; I haven't seen them give this high of a Score for a MMO since WoW...usually EGM is the magazine that rakes games over the coals and it was the review that a lot of people who don't like the game were waiting for. You can tell the Reviewer spent a long time with it he covers Warzones, Ilum, Operations....the works. Overall it's a good read and worth the price of the cover. LMFAO. Whose getting paid now I wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeBites Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 So people who rate this game with a low score are trolls & haters who are getting paid by Blizzard, whilst the people who rate this game with a high score are fanbois/reviewers who are getting paid by EA.

DigitalDreamz Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Warhammer online got a 9/10 also. http://pc.ign.com/articles/918/918335p2.html 4/5 stars for Warhammer online: http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/reviews/41763/Warhammer-Online-Review-1-20 http://warhammeronline.com/reviews/index.php Look at all those high scores and awards!! http://warhammeronline.com/awards/index.php Where is the game now? In the toilet and oh how the reviewers are singing a different tune once it flopped. Reviews by so called professional journalists are utter trash and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Sparklehorse Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I wonder if you will be singing the same tune, should it come to pass that 1-1.5 million of TOR's initial subscribers don't remain past the 6 month mark. What will you say when they do? Wait nevermind, I know the answer to this already. "Wait until you see how many people leave after the first year..." Keep moving those goal posts, maybe you'll win one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDiggy Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I already did quit the game. Haven't logged in in over a week. There's nothing stopping you from logging in, playing, and enjoying TOR, so why are you here? Its called work. I get an hour for lunch so I browse the forums. My question for you is this, if you hate the game so much and are no longer playing, why do you continue to troll the forums? You honestly come off sounding like an old girlfriend that just can't let go and move on (aka the crazy chick still leaving a dozen voicemails a day on my cell phone and breaking into my house to steal my shoes so she has something to remember me by).

Hormidas Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Wait wait, SWTOR have good reviews and subs are going up??

Vecke Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Cause he paid? True story: I was on vacation a couple months ago and came by a boiled peanut stand. "That's cool," I said to my wife. "I haven't had boiled peanuts in years." "Me either," my wife said. We bought a bag of peanuts and walked on. We opened the peanuts and took our first bite. They were awful. And I don't mean they didn't live up to my expectations. They were awful. I managed to swallow the first one, but my wife couldn't. She actually had to spit it in a nearby trash can. Now, I don't know if my memory of boiled peanuts was just wrong or if that particular vendor made horrible boiled peanuts. All I know is those peanuts are now on my 5 Worst Things I've Ever Eaten list. Yeah. They were that bad. You know what we did next? We threw the peanuts in the trash and got something else to eat. Even though we paid for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
