IGN Reviews – Star Wars: The Old Republic Game Review

39 Comments

1. I just started playing this game the first time and holy wow, it is hands down the bar setter in MMO storytelling to date. I've never cared for MMOs because I've always felt the quality of how the narrative is told is so disjointed and lackluster (everything is half-heartedly told to you via text dialog and infologs) but this game has storytelling on par with Bioware's single player RPGs, complete with full voice acting, and it's GOOD voice acting.

   If you're a fan of Star Wars and you enjoy RPGs, you owe it to yourself to give it a shot.

2. i have it voor free and i love it

3. I don't appreciate the hate here. I really loved SW TOR a lot, and it's a pity they're shutting it down. I wish we did get more KOTOR, but SWTOR had a crap ton of content

4. Sadly though I loved kotor 1 & 2 and wanted to play this one too I just cant play any game that requires a subscription to play.

5. I wish I liked MMO's, because the story and setup seem amazing, but that gameplay just isn't for me.

6. Why can't we just get another single player Kotor?!?!?

7. Still waiting for a review on sand..

8. If only there is still a asian server

9. I came here from watching the blur studios cinematics
   WHY DOES THIS LOOK SO BAD COMPARED TO THEM

10. Downloading this now for f2p…i'll be back with a short review!

11. Would be nice if they put this on PS4 and Xbox One.

12. How do i fix the "only one instance of this application can run at once" problem

13. Half of the footage is part of the Great Galactic War not the Jedi Civil War…

14. Once they made the expansion KOTET link to KOTFE that is when I stopped with the expansions. I thought kotfe was ok but not good enough, in my opinion, to go into another expansion.

15. Not an mmo fan but had to play the imp agent because I heard the story was superb… And I have to say the story is better than most Star Wars movies

16. i say 10

17. "Ha Darth vader" this guy

18. Awe man… I just heard about this and was super excited for another Bioware RPG in the Star Wars universe. Sad that it's an MMO. I simply don't have the time for one of those.

19. Why is this an MMO? Does it add to the game in any way?

20. why is he speaking so fast

21. Why this guy sounds so much like Mordin (mass effect) xD

22. To anyone thinking about giving this game a try right now: DO IT. right now there is an even that ends sometime near the end of november, during this event you gain far more xp than usual, this means you can do nothing but the main story quest and still be overleveled (it scales you so u dont feel broken) this is the best way to play the game and anyone thinking about it should give it a shot.

23. When is Star Wars the old republic going to be on xbox one and PS4?

24. do you need steady and constant Internet connection to play this?

25. Just downloaded this game,and i'm playing only singleplayer.You know,this game could be 100x better if it was singleplayer.

26. bioware needs to make a mass effect mmo

27. The Old Republic is great. Combat can be as easy or intensive as you want it to be, a lack of esoteric concepts make it easy to approach unlike many other MMOs, and the fully voiced conversations really help to make it feel like more than just a continuous grind. I can highly recommend it, especially for those new to MMOs.

28. it

29. old republic is free i got the free

30. Just tried it today after months of watching the cinematic trailers and some gameplay from other channels. I was amazed that it's F2P. Yeah there is a subscription option but I'll look into that later on. The fact that it's free from the start pulled me in. I get to try it for free, if I don't like it then I won't play it no more and no damage to my wallet. Tried FF14 and didn't like it enough. It was ok but not for me lol. Then there was TES online and holy crap it takes forever to level up in that game. I have it for ps4 but it's a turn off when I play for a long time and can't break level 20 let alone reach it. Then this game was installed on my rig today and I was impressed. Played for a good 3 hours straight after creating my Sith Warrior. Pretty awesome game and it looks a little better on ultra settings on PC than it does in this video. For now I will play this, may look into the subscription option later. Then I may go back to TES online one more time to see if I can break level 20.

31. This game runs on my laptop window 7, no lags

32. for anyone who is thinking about starting to play this game it has got soooo much better from what it was like at launch. obviously f2p has many limitations but you have to remember you're getting 8 awsome quests as well as endless side missions etc for absolutely free. i play this game with friends and it is constantly fun to roam the planets in a squad of your friends as jedi/sith characters. and no you dont need a gaming pc, i run it on medium settings with a 1gb ram laptop! you can easily scale graphics so dont worry about the pc you have. right now if you subscribe for one month you will recieve all the 3 dlc packs so far 🙂

33. wow this game looks like freelancer from 1999

34. i started playing this game in 2013 then i got bored of it i few months ago i got back into now i am almost a legendary p,layer the story is amazing I would say this game is the best game i have ever played i have only played like the first 5 missions on kotor and seen some game play and if I compare the two i think SWTOR is way better.

35. Looks like a modded oblivion.

36. I'm not a big MMO player and the combat looks really overwhelming and confusing. I'm a big Star Wars fan and enjoy a good interactive story but the combat is what's keeping me away from trying this. Can someone who's played this explain the learning curve for this game?

37. on sale for $3 on steam …. yes please 🙂

38. And then there's EA Battlefront…

39. Very new to this all but could somebody answer 1. Is this game free?/Where can I find this full game? 2. Do I need a good computer to run this game? 3. Any dlc / membership / if so how much money will it cost
    Please & thank you
