Lauded for breaking new ground? One of the worst character customizations in any MMO I've played since 00'. Linear progression that is more repetitive than other MMO's due to no auto attack. Exploration since when? Nothing to explore for since datacrons etc will be listed in short order. Pillars of combat? Game plays like a console port to PC (mainly jedi/sith). Fourth Dimension with story and personal choice? It does absolutely nothing! You farm dark or light side points for gear and perhaps choose a side due to progression. The fact that you are pretty much locked into light or dark from character creation sure is personal choice. The only unique story is you specific character class of which there are four per side. Dark Age of Camelot had epic gear later per class and quite a few of these games have had class quests at certain intervals which is pretty much what your personal story is but with console cutscenes galore.
If they were honest they would say the game is average at best. Want more of the same in MMO's? Play TOR. It's a shame the rape Bioware was allowed to commit with the Star Wars name.

I've been avoiding MMO for about 3 years just to be willing to play this game.
I Believe in bioware be able to deliver a great game. |

It's very sad indeed, but at least both games kept a good storyline, though that could've been so much more as well...
As for the WoW clone, no thanks. It's going to attract bioware fanboys though... |
