For me personally I'd say 9/10 to 10/10 it has its issues but I have faith they will be addressed. Its exactly what I was expecting!

I see SWTOR going places.

I'd imagine that there will be a top 3, so to speak, leading with World of Warcraft, with Diablo III in second, if not first someday, then TOR and Guild Wars 2 in third and fourth. I read somewhere that there might be over 4 million players at present, somebody else said 6 million. That wouldn't surprise me. I think that there's a polished finesse to combat and I think that the integrated questing system of heroics and large instanced questing areas loaded with detail, and with bonus objectives, is this game's attempt at bringing something a little more interesting to the table.

I feel the 3 biggest weaknesses with this game at present are as follows:

1) A little too much instancing for me. You don't even see yourself travel in the elevator so much as just a click. I understand that the game is huge, but it's more of a let-down in massive beautiful zones that you just want to call home, yet the experience is dulled to working together on some quests, in some areas. This is the system though, and the other features and dynamics of the game blend to take from the weak spots.

2) A lack of certain customizations. I know that at least 25% of the player base wishes there was an option between body size 2 and 3. Things like being able to name your droid for a bit of difference, and access to armor, hood up, hood down, like we were introduced to in the progression videos and interviews leading up to release. Nobody wants to feel like a clone of a bunch of other people. Give the player a unique, rewarding feel and you win.

3) The last is regarding a memory leak or networking error with regards to frame drops or "stuttering", most notably that of the Republic or Imperial fleet. You could be out in the wilderness on a planet with an extreme draw distance and not experience this. It needs to be addressed and explained. This is one of the top threads of the performance forums and has been since the game was released. Primarily the thread: "Horrid FPS"

There's also the issue of textures at present only being medium from what most seem to be saying. My Jedi Guardian has a more unique armor right now that is very poorly faded as if my textures were on the low with no AF enabled. Other armor and instances of the game are not this way, but overall there's a feel that high textures are not enabled.

System

Voice Acting 10/10
Interface 9/10
Audio 9/10
Visuals 8.5/10
Performance 8/10
Customization 8/10

Experience

Combat 9/10
Flashpoints/Heroics 9/10
Story 8.5/10
Companions 8.5/10
Universe 8/10
Questing 8/10
Crew Skills 8/10
Mounts 7.5/10
PvP 7/10
Space Combat 6/10

Overall: 8.5/10

The reality is that this is the Star Wars universe, there are many planets, and many more will most likely be added. There's Space Combat, decent for a mini-game and some initial XP rewards. Combat, which is the game's strongest point in combination with the sheer magnitude of the game world and the feature of constant voice acting. PvP is an option, nostalgic of battlegrounds in a big way. Classic questing, feel like a boss with your own ship, and a lot more features.

For an initial launch with little issues preventing most from playing the game, that alone is a huge pro. You can bet that PvP will be refined with time, and things like the crew skills and companions will no doubt have their updates. One can hope that the mount system, specifically that of the speed is upped to at least 150% if not 180% and in several updates 200% like most games do it. I feel that getting around can really bog a person down sometimes, and that feeling of getting your mount is just not as present in TOR.

If you look at the core of this game, then you can just imagine the types of updates to come. Class additions, perhaps, but scarcely with time depending on success, same with race additions as now we know how much time went into voice acting and character design through the game. It's why realistically I cannot see them adding a body between option 2 and 3 which I feel this game needs badly. It's the only thing I've heard constant chatter of.

I'll be getting 50 and I hope that end-game content grows. If all looks well I'll definitely be rolling a Bounty Hunter or a Marauder or something to experience the dark side.

Just as a guess you taking the piss out of people who like the game? Go Fu*k yourself hard with a cattleprod.

People who don't like the game for whatever reason, yea fine I understand, this game ISN'T the best ever, but I think Bioware can improve it a lot with new content etc. But people aren't all going to be happy. This is life, I wish them well in future games.

If your serious, get help.

7.5/10

I greatly enjoy the game, but there are a lot of bugs and issues: Most noteable would be ability delay and heavy lag in warzones. Yet I have no doubt that these things are going to be fixed soon enough, and I'm definately sticking around to watch them get there!

for a mmo, I would give it 8/10.

But in saying that, I am more into sandbox games and would never give a game 10/10 unless it was like the holodeck from star trek
