NPR Gives Favorable Review of SWTOR

Another good review for SWTOR. Will people cry that NPR was paid off by EA too?

of course

Lots of people like the game, myself included. It just happens to be that in life people with bad things to say are far more vocal. A customer with a good experience will tell 2-3 people, a customer with a bad experience will go out of their way to tell absolutely everyone who will listen to them forever.

You believe this crew knows anything at all about MMOs?

you don't have to know anything at all about a mmo to like the game and give it a good opinion. That is all a review is, someones personal opinion!

Well this is an AP story to be fair. But interesting to see NPR carry a video game story.

EA obviously bought NPR.

But seriously, interesting that NPR is even covering this.

That whooshing sound you just heard was humor flying over your head.

I think the people who gave it middling reviews are their publication's "MMO reviewers." If you played every MMO for 100-200 hours you might be sick of the samey dynamics of games copying WoW. You probably should be, considering the timesink.

Even the forum complainers kind of match this profile--they seem to compare it to other long, long games they put massive time into and express lack of interest--

The extraordinary length and extent of MMOs make the MMO faithful particularly nauseated by the mirrored gameplay dynamics. "This again??"

I never played MMOs, so to me, none of those games ever existed: this is all new.

I couldn't even get into WoW since it had no story like a Bioware game.

I'm surprised anyone at NPR knows what a MMO is, other than "that War something".
