Dumpiduke Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 i hate how gamespot said something about there being no day night cycle. I mean if they did put one in they'd have to change it for every planet or people would say something about one planet not being as big as another etc. I could care less about that. I hate that they gave SW:TOR an 8 and gave Age of Conan AND Warhammer Online an 8.5 How does that even happen? There is no possible way that either of those two games was even on par with TOR's polish at launch. Not that 8 is a bad score, but when you put it into perspective relative to other games in the genre, it makes Gamespot look like a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheisty Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Go play rift if you want to see what a real MMO is like for anyone to say this game has standard MMO features has never played another MMO besides this one or they haven't played one since 2004. So you fanboys can troll all you want but denying the obvious is just plain silly. Again go play Rift then. Personally I found the game to be boring and uninspired. In fact I fell asleep many times when I was leveling my warrior. i set up a macro to play the game for me. All I had to do is run up to a mob and press...1...11....1.1111.....1..... and I won. More features and adding more to your game (great RIFT dev team BTW) does not make a game good. It was a boring game at launch and when I quit.

Nighthawked Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I know. That was a "well DUH!" comment. Why would you even try? If you put a day/night cycle on Tatooine you may as well add Klingons too. In other words, it does not have one! Do all the planets even rotate on a north/south axis like Earth? How many do not spin or do so very slowly? How many spin on an East/West axis? Best to just avoid all the inconsistancies all together and assume we all wait to land until it is daylight on the part of the planet we want to be. And they should make Hoth have very low visibility like in the movies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyanzor Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 For what point? You want links to posts from companies that may or may not be paid by EA and other software publishers that review a game in which most if not all of the reviewers didn't even get to the endgame? If you're not going to stay on topic then why bother to post in the thread? Did you read any of the reviews? They all had their own likes and dislikes about SWTOR. Not sure why you think EA paid these writers? Feel free to add a link to a review to SWTOR so I can post it in the OP. thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen to that, personally i think gamespot bases all their mmo reviews on WoW because they always give wow expansions a really high score compared to other mmos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighthawked Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I have said it before, and I will say it again. All the features that are heavily requested do not make or break the game. Do you honestly think that somebody that absolutely hates everything about WoW will play it just because it has a combat log? If you need to quit this game because of no combat log, it is not the game's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalacticKegger Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I would write a review of my experience with this game, but then I realise it's only going to be a waste of time. Even though I would mention both positive and negative points, the fanboys would only read the negative ones and nerd rage over it. Or just go tl;dr. This game for me... is the worst experience I have had in all my gaming life. The game itself is pretty average... 7/10 at most. The community is a 1/10, or 0/10 if you allow me. They don't take any criticizm and that may be one of the reasons why everything in this game is so broken. Bioware probably doesn't even know about any of the problems because fanboys deny it.Would like to hear what you have to say. I would classify myself as a "fanboy" (I guess ... I am a fan of the game) but would in no way blow up your goods vs bads as long as they aren't vitriolic either way. Point/counterpoint is what drives community forums and gives the BW types who peruse them legit feedback. Calling out other people for differing viewpoints is what kills them. What's on your mind?

I didn't even give Rift the time of day because it literally did nothing new with the genre. You couldn't pay me to play another fantasy based MMO that isn't World of Warcraft. I got to level 14 in Rift before I realized that the game was going to do absolutely nothing new. All the features in the world couldn't keep me interested.

Katharis Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Well hello, GG! Fancy meeting you here. If I was a reviewer... In December, I would have given SWTOR high marks. In February, however, after the 'ooh shiny' phase was over... not so high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kojey Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 my personal review in a nut shell Pros: Great Story Good Implement of the companions Companion quests take the grind out of professions Fast pace combat compared to other MMOs Flashy combat Cons: Planets feel Baron at times Quests can get repetitive (like in most MMOs, kill this collect this etc.) Space Combat kind of bland Score: 8.75 (now this is just off the top of my head) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game's content can and has been beat without the build/rotation tuning such meters are needed to do. A more appropriate analogy would be to compare the game to a car that doesn't have seat warmers, sunroof, or automatic seat positioning. I.e. totally optional features.

Frostvein Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Your asking for professional reviews without realizing that said professional reviews are meaningless.

Benfynyn Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 MMO FEATURES not general game features that are part of a single players experiance Now can you get your head out the sand? MMO FEATURES MMO FEATURES MMO FEATURES MMO FEATURES MMO FEATURES It means features that matter to the MMO aspect of the game Ok, so this game is missing a LOT of GENERAL GAME FEATURES then. That sort of sounds worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A more appropriate analogy would be to compare the game to a car that doesn't have seat warmers, sunroof, or automatic seat positioning. I.e. totally optional features. The car drives - no question. Those features are about as optional as windows, safety bags, and dashboards are on a car. You can drive without all those too, but your experience won't be too pleasant. Raiding content in this game was done on an exceptionally amateur level, and people have beaten it in spite of the horrible interface, lack of any metrics, and lack of customization options. To continue the car analogy, its like taking a complete beater for a spin around a parking lot. Sure you can do it, but are you gonna enjoy it?
