Reviews around play (4.09 of 5)

  • I admit that, like a number of other reviewers here, I was disappointed with the lack of interactiveness in my environment, (especially as so many of us have been stealing Skyrim blind at the same time we have been playing beta and pre-launch for
  • I stopped playing after my first month because I simply will not support a company that treats it customers as BW does
  • You get daily and weekly quests to win a # of warzones and kill a # of players in Illum, thus slowly grinding out your PvP gear at the maximum level
  • This game was not meant for those who already hate online role-playing games.
  • So if you ever loved playing Bioware games and you are up to something new, I can recommend this game

Reviews around mmo (3.81 of 5)

  • For me, the game doesn't work as an MMO, and my love of Star Wars is strong but the game doesn't have enough of the feel of Star Wars to save it for me
  • if you appreciate a good MMO, you are sure to enjoy this game.
  • The game play is rather fun and the story line for each class is exciting however it plays more like a single player game then a MMO
  • Its a good game with Large world and a great mmo feeling
  • I really really wanted to like this game as an MMO, but it really doesn't feel like an MMO.

Reviews around bioware (3.70 of 5)

  • The game is very much a story-driven MMO just like BioWare has always said.
  • Bioware is so afraid of under populated servers that they are cramming as many people as they can into the same servers.
  • The stories in the game feel like cliche rip offs of the new hope era Star Wars story lines, Bioware took little risk and really didn't do anything new.
  • BioWare mirrored the classes (good), but they failed to follow through by mirroring the players in the actual matches (bad).
  • If you like Bioware games like Dragon Age, Mass Effect and

Reviews around experience (3.50 of 5)

  • Clunky controls, horrid controls and a slow cumbersome game experience
  • but there seems to be an aura of denial amongst the fandom surrounding this game and the mediocre experience it is presenting its fanbase
  • This game does have a interface similar to WOW but for me the experience is well worth it.
  • I'm really angry about it and even though the game is pretty cool if you could play it, it's a terrible experience dealing with the company
  • SWTOR delivers a decent PvP experience, but so far it stands out as being much weaker than the other parts of the game

Reviews around graphic (3.46 of 5)

  • The graphics are good and he game play is quite smooth.
  • It's a new game with great graphics and an excellent storyline with many customizations and ways to play..
  • Sometimes your attack skill graphics will be stuck somewhere in the game world and continue to be active/animated as if you are still casting even if you die
  • CONS-*The graphics are very middle of the road even on high settings
  • The voice acting and even the graphics (although others would disagree) really work well

Reviews around quest (3.43 of 5)

  • So many bugs, broken quests and flashpoints, crashes to desktop, server disconnects, overpowered and underpowered characters in PVP, etc.
  • The quest lines are great with lots of group (heroic) quests to keep friends together personal players quest line make u feel like u are in the game with a goal to
  • While I enjoyed going thru the stories, the quests in game become like doing chores
  • This made questing difficult, and grouping with other players for the heroic quests even worse
  • Stuff that is supposed to be easy is easy and stuff that is supposed to be hard (heroic quests, instances, PvP, etc.)... feels hard

Reviews around player (3.19 of 5)

  • The game is fun single player, if your computer doesnt have problems.
  • The Player versus Player combat (PvP) is limited to warzones, period
  • If you kill a Republic player in Illum, Empire players get mad at you because they need them to take objectives so they can complete one of their DAILY
  • Sometimes players fall out but group combat was fairly smooth
  • One big problem was that I was a healer and at first medals in PVP matches were only earnable by doing damage and killing players (this has since changed)

Reviews around thing (2.99 of 5)

  • The only bad thing I can say about it is that it is so much
  • Now that is actually a really AWESOME thing about the game
  • If you feel that this is a bad thing then perhaps this is not the game for you
  • The best thing I can say about this game overall is the story
  • It's basically WoW in space, which isn't necessarily a bad thing

Reviews around crash (2.49 of 5)

  • The developers seem to be trying to fix and improve the game as fast as they can, and I am excited to be in "on the ground floor", so to speak, so I can watch this amazing game evolve and grow with time
  • Many crafters reported that they were crashing more often as well
  • But by virtue of MMO design, these stories (decent as they may be) get diluted by the many, many other diversions MMO gaming throws at you.
  • NPC characters in town repeat their same animation or just are randomly standing as well as if the whole world aside from your character froze in time
  • Once you get to 20, the plot gets stale as it becomes mostly recycled, and by 30 the class quests involve hours of pointless back and forth between planets

Reviews around people (2.24 of 5)

  • The people who do this nasty should be freaking ashamed of themselves.
  • Back in World of Warcraft, people complained about the countless grinding, kill x number of things, kill x number of things and
  • Just like many people will play this game simply because it has the Star Wars name on it, many will turn it down because of this same reason; a mistake I was doing as well
  • This is the reason a few people are disappointed with the game
  • Well I suppose people do like the game, I just haven't been that interested in it to continue much further

Reviews around enemy (1.88 of 5)

  • Being without cover against a strong enemy can sometimes mean the death of your poor Smuggler or Imperial Agent, but you are given a few tools such as stuns to help get you away from danger and back into cover.
  • You go through every area and kill enemies that won't kill you 80-90% of the time
  • Go to location A, B and C and kill X enemies before returning to location A.
  • The enemies are either way too easy or are bugged to the point of impossible
  • This game has serious performance issues and too many game breaking bugs, e.g. invincible enemies due to buggy line-of-sight

Reviews around guy (1.82 of 5)

  • I also enjoy the fact that you can take the characters down either road, dark or light, and not be locked into always having a nice guy Jedi or a extremely evil Sith
  • Sometimes you die as the bad guy predicted and you feel like a schmuck for being so brave in the conversation before
  • I miss the social aspect of the game, my guild was a bunch of pretty cool guys, but the game itself just seemed so... tired
  • The fully-voiced storylines and quest dialogs are good, but it generally boils down to kill N bad guys, find and
  • Fun, and the levels are designed okay, but whether you play the "dark side" or the "good guys" the character classes, despite the different names they have, are basically the same identical thing

Reviews around review (1.75 of 5)

  • In spite of the mediocre early reviews, I decided to give this game a try
  • so I thought now was the proper time to write a realistic review.
  • I think the biggest thing that irks me about the game is all the High rated critical reviews this game has
  • I'm frankly amazed by some of the recent negative reviews of this wonderful game.

Reviews around point (1.75 of 5)

  • In dialogs with AI, there are multiple choices that determine the outcome of some quests and also give you light/dark side points, so you decide your ultimate disposition in the game
  • The story keeps you engaged because your decisions not only impact your light side/dark side points but also the huge story line
  • great!One of my favorite things is that instead of quest-text, all dialog is spoken in cut-scenes, and you can choose your responses which can have various effects, such as opening up additional quests, granting you more money upon completion, gaining light side/dark side points, etc.
  • The voice acting makes the game and is one of the best selling points for playing
  • (i.e. The choice I thought was an obvious light side choice gave dark side points.

Reviews around issue (1.73 of 5)

  • Sure, SWTOR has issues since it's a young MMORPG, but I love the game
  • I figured I could post bug reports or other issues but not possible
  • Apparently, my account was locked and after multiple attempts to correct issue with their friendly but clueless customer service, I am still not able to pay for anything in game (subscription, cartel coins).
  • all the things expected in a classic MMO- Fewer issues with wait times and connection problems than I anticipated at launchMy only problem with the game is I don't want to quit playing it!!
  • They ignored numerous issues that are downright annoying and ruin gameplay from months ago

Reviews around bug (1.56 of 5)

  • However that is not the main issue, the main issues are the bugs and the complete and total lack of customer service
  • Most bugs are easily worked with, and the stuff that sill needs to be polished seems minimal and minor.
  • However as the weeks progressed the same problems kept occuring sometimes even after patches were introduced to correct those bugs
  • The bugs, class balancing, lack of endgame content, and high handedness by EA and the dev team are killing this game
  • YOU WILL FEEL DISAPPOINTED!There's two important lessons here: (1) bugs WILL destroy a game,

  • Customer service - The customer service is absolutely horrific at this moment

Reviews around eye (1.44 of 5)

  • Patcher problems, sound bugs, crashes while just moving around, crashes while loading another area, crashes during cutscenes, graphical problems during cutscenes (skin problems, eye problems [both all black eyes and sunken silvery pupils])
  • Sith have force lightning, cool glowing amber eyes, and awesomely well acted British accents.
  • I turned it off for my Rattataki Imperial Agent as I liked her pale grey eyes much better than the dark orange-red they were starting to become from her dark alignment
  • It’s superficial eye candy meant to distract the barracudas chasing the reflections
  • ’s only purpose to be bad eye candy for the vapid hoards of ADD players

Reviews around boss (1.24 of 5)

  • The bosses in early Flashpoints aren't too difficult but they do require some coordination at the higher level Flashpoints
  • They will basically be kill this, get that, keep going, kill boss, end
  • Go to location A, B and C and kill X enemies before returning to location A.
  • Armor differentiation (BAD):Another annoying aspect of the game is the lack of surprise from killing bosses in flashpoints (dungeons) and raids
  • The bosses are a joke, I can kill master Jedi 3 levels higher than me easily without losing more than 1/4 hp.
