Star Wars: TOR

[RonTheArson]

The newly released Star Wars is a pretty cool game I must say. I've played with a Sith Inquisitor 'till lvl 38 where I stopped for various reasons.

After 3 years of WoW gameplay I think this game is a very good rival, because it has almost all the elements of WoW except the smoothness that Blizzard had 8 years to accomplish. I personally think this game will end up to become the first legit rival of WoW in about 2 years or so of adding content and tweaking game play.

What I like the most about SWTOR is the detailed questing campaign they've designed. There are a total of 4 playable classes, and each class has a completely different story lines, but the beauty of it all is that it takes every class to the same areas!

I personally think that they've completely changed the online questing experience with the Dark Side/ Light Side choices and Companion favoritism. A questing system basically copied from Mass Effect by BioWare gives it a single-player game questing feel with a MMO edge to it where you can bring party members into it.

There are many aspects to this game that are still very flawed, but it has barely been released and I think they've released it pretty well!

Don't agree with me? I'd very much like input from players/enthusiasts! This game is like no other and can be discussed in length in most aspects.

I haven't played it yet, but I liked what you wrote. It seemed fairly unbiased and informative. I've been thinking about getting it. I probably won't buy it for a few months, maybe until after they release a couple of content patches and fix many of the early bugs that are often rampant in new games.

:thup:

Sith Inquisitor was great, ha. Probably the most exciting quest line out of all the classes, I'm glad I picked it first (or not? maybe if I picked it second I would have enjoyed it more? I don't know). It was good either way.

I agree with mostly what you've said. It's definitely one of the best MMORPGs that I've played. Like you said, still a lot of flaws, and I remember finding quite a few (funny) bugs during the beta, but the little things aside, it's very fun, especially if you're a fan of Star Wars. I wouldn't say that it's "like no other" but it does take a lot of positive points from various games and improve upon and put them in together nicely.

I played in the beta and was not impressed. Maybe MMORPGs are just not for me. I found it boring and ugly to look at. No way am I paying full price and a monthly fee for it.

I still have like 5 games on the back burner so there would be no reason to play this either.
