Unless, of course, they're under contract and obliged to add in some lines when EA/Bioware need them to. They've done a solid job in the past with DLC for their single player games getting folks back in the studio.

All I wonder is why Skyrim scores so high, the game's performance is awful without LAA, the engine is outdated, the game's physics are far off, sloppy character animations, combat is slow and clunky, textures are not in high resolution and the story is virtually non-existent. It's an Oblivion clone at best.

As for SWTOR I cannot say what my score is atm, cause after 48 hours of gameplay my judgement might be off. I'm leaning towards 8.0 atm, but I fear the game lacks in endgame content, PVP and the ability to properly customize your character.
Played WoW for 5 years, SWG for 3 years, Rift for 6 months, AoC for 4 months, Aion for 2 months, Sorc Wars The Old Republic for 2 months.

8.7 best MMO on the market!


Less linearity, more randomness would be great!

Voice actors don't work like that. They work similar to freelance writers. EAware can make a contract with them for a specific day in the future or even a specific small block of time, but those people have other companies to do voice work for as well and they need a very specific schedule to fit everyone in. They will not sign a contract that says "You come when we call".

A couple of DLC which, by the way, were most likely already made ( like Shale for DA1 ) and just cut from the game at release so it could be sold separately for more money, is very different to the requirements of YEARS worth of content.

8/10 I enjoy playing it and I see room for improvement. All in all a fun game that keeps me wanting to play.

I think some people don't get the 1-10 scale btw. 5/10 for example is not average. The score 6/10 is the lowest passing score....a 5/10 on a test in school for example (we use the 1-10 scale here) is a failed test already.

And 8/10 is a good score.

To give a general idea:

1-2 abysmal
3-4 bad
5 poor
6-7 average
8-9 great
10 perfect

I would suggest to the OP to adopt something like this, so the grades people give actually can be compared.

I think space missions and spaceships are awesome, it just needs more love.

8.5 /10 and you need to watch the Launch video where a Bioware guys says at the end there are things coming not long after launch. Companion system is bar none (my opinion only) the best I've ever seen. The story line with all the voice acting intergrated is superb. Each class story line is different and very interesting as well as well acted.

Also let me say this, most who like the game will never post here that they just love the game, they prove they like it by just playing it, a normal person whom may not like the game just doesn't resub and simply quits. The next set of people are for whatever reason haters of anything and post day in and day out why they so dislike a game or post literary volumes of how "they" think said game can better just because they say so. I pay no attention really to them because honestly nothing at all makes them satisfied and is futile to even try.

I'm glad you like it.

I graduated from Super Nintendo a long time ago though.

The actual Metacritic review score is not available yet - but judging by the three reviews they have posted it will be over 80 (on a 100 point scale).
