It's a positive spin with no talk about the actual issues with the game. Nothing wrong with that really, but it's not a proper representation of the true state of the game. The only negative things that they bring up are "Open world" and "Space Combat." Even a true fanboy can come up with tons of issues/bugs, they just use the line, "wait and let them fix them." Either that or the infamous, "Well WoW didn't have those things at launch either."

The developers have stated multiple times that fixes are in the works. They have also been very good about releasing weekly patches.

Quote: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...4#commentBlock This game should really be avoided right now for anyone that is looking for an 'MMO' as this game is far from that right now. It was released prematurely by at least 6 months. The amount of bugs, exploits, and poorly implemented quests and design decisions in the end-game are enough to steer clear of this one. It is saddening, however, considering that I and I'm sure millions of others anticipated this game for over 5 years. The worlds are linear, travel system is a disaster, raid/pvp loot systems are truly behind the times, the UI cannot be customized or even scaled down, no combat log, bad auction house UI, no quest variation, huge faction imbalances, instanced zones, locked-out story areas that make it feel like a single player game, no high resolution textures in game, and a plethora of performance issues too long to list. The reviewers I've seen across the web are wildly inaccurate when giving this game high marks. I recall MMO's that came out nearly 10 years ago that had better features, writing, and gameplay than SWTOR has right now. Its a huge disappointment to say the least.

I LOVE this game. Are there bugs? Sure. Anything that is so absolutely disgusting I'd stop? No. I will just play around the bugs that stop me, until they are resolved. I will certainly keep playing this game for some time. I have 8 class stories to pursue. x1 for each gender [so 16] for both sets of romance arcs. So - I have a long road ahead

People with brains that know how to use said brains and can form coherent, logical thoughts think about issues objectively and in most cases realize that the majority of the issues the QQers on these forums bring up are: 1. Minor 2. Easily fixed 3. Likely to be fixed 4. Not uncommon in a new MMO Said people then calmly return to the game they pay to play and they: 1. Adjust to changes 2. Roll a new character and do NOT come to the forums to announce this 3. Quit for a while and do NOT come to the forums to announce this

Seemed like someone who was playing this game with a 1-playthrough perspective, rather than a "I want to play this for years" perspective. As an AP game reviewer probably should.

If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong. *Playing Since 12-13-2011*
