EuroGamer: "Time hasn't been kind to The Old Republic. It certainly doesn't feel like a game that came out last Christmas, even if at launch its technology and largely reskinned Warcraft mechanics were more a base for BioWare to flex its narrative muscles with than a big leap forward for massively multiplayer games. Now, not even a year later, with the game recently turned free-to-play, going back to explore its worlds feels like archeology. Sometimes palaeontology. And the story that BioWare hoped to tell is unlikely to have a happy ending."
EA is nearing an agreement to move the ongoing development and operation of MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic from BioWare to third-party studio Broadsword Online Games, IGN has learned. The move is intended to allow BioWare to focus on Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
A new update for Star Wars: The Old Republic is coming out on PC and the patch notes provide us with an in-depth look at all the new changes.
I loved this game and have played since launch but don't let this article fool you, this game is a step above life support. While they are still technically updating the game, the updates are few and far between and there is a significant lack of quality control, so many little bugs that have been present for years.
SWTOR players, get ready for a new month of exciting in-game events! Here's what's coming up in January 2023.
What is the game like beyond the prologue ? Its been kind of boring, just wish they did KOTOR3
I think it's a great idea to re-review games. Especially MMO's considering longevity is important
Anyway, yeah, bring on Knights of the old republic 3!
I will politely disagree with this review. SWtOR is not a great MMO, but it is a good one. It focuses on narrative over much else, and many gamers are looking for that sort of thing. Heck, it's why I play RPGs to begin with. It has also come a long way from last year. I admit that they need to go further, but with what they have done as far as content, it takes time. They didn't take the easy way out like most MMOs out there that focus on quick and easily skipped dialogue and that decision has led them to a harder growth over others. But, it's still great to see such a focus on narrative in an MMO, which is where many MMOs got their start to begin with but then followed much like the FPSes to catering to the desires of PvP and raiding only and leaving the rest behind.
One item of note that I found to be a sign of a weird review: "The trouble with being a sniper is that your combat screenshots either look bland or like a sci-fi version of The Naked Gun."
Really? You're nitpicking how your screenshots come out?
I just picked up kotor 2 in the steam sale. Kotor 1 is my favorite game of all time. Wish they had just made a third. Without making you become a jedi.
The review is nothing more than some more Bioware hate. I mean seriously, it's sad that reviewers can't remove their emotions for EA and Bioware from a review score. Whatever, I don't trust reviewers anyways.
