The story based gameplay is flawed and might kill the game.

Everyone keeps hanging on to the story as the one huge redeeming factor in the game. The story won't even be talked about in 6 months. Most of you will be completely done with it and done leveling alts for a while. In fact, you can only even get 4 unique stories. If you decide to play the other 4 classes, you'll get the same story.

The voice acting is sub par. The story line itself, is sub par, even compared to some of Bioware's other games.

People are just enamored by the fact that it exists in an MMO, so they're obsessed with it.

All MMO's have story, I don't think it's an issue of people being enamored by it's existence in Swtor. I personally have lost ALL interest in the Swtor story, to the point where I just space bar through it now as it's more a pain to sit through than anything. I was captivated during Tython and even most of Coruscant but Taris brought it to a crashing halt. The quest on rails, punishment for exploration is just too much for me to handle.

Couple that with the fact that RP is non-existent on my server and the mandatory quest tracker, my immersion is basically nil. I can barely bring myself to log anymore. I'm still subbed for one more month and I still have a couple friends that play but after this month it's going to take a miracle for me to continue. I think they just played it too safe for my liking and I'm a themepark fan! I was just hoping for a little more depth and challenge, and not just in the combat department.

So, you preferred games like Everquest where you couldn't solo something 5 levels below your level? Also, if you died, you had to lose like 4 hours of work due to losing massive amounts of experience with each death?


If you haven't noticed, WOW's formula pretty much murdered all others. It drew people in and kept them there for 7 years now. It is the better formula because it works for a wide variety of gamers. If you want to quest solo, you can. If you want to quest in a group, you can. If you want to stop questing for a while, you can do dungeons or PVP. You're not FORCED to group just to level up. This was the best thing WOW did for the genre, IMO.

I have a level 50 Republic vanguard in full champion gear, im not disappointed.

The HYPE called this a revolutionary game.

Hype called Avatar the best movie ever.

Hype said Superman Returns would revolutionize superman.

Just because a bunch of fanboys say a game will "do this" and "do that" doesnt mean it has to in order to be fun.

Your opinion is wrong.
