Great review and introductory post for those not familiar with the lore. This was spot on with how I felt during launch and beyond. This is a well polished game, even my girlfriend is enjoying it (this is her first MMO). It doesn’t deviate much from the old MMORPG mold, but being able to outfit your companions and ship makes it feel like you’re developing multiple characters all at the same time. The story on some worlds can get uninteresting at times, even boring, but the scripted instances/conversations with NPCs are fun especially when done with other players. Haven’t reached endgame yet, but with this kind of quality at this point in time, the potential of this game to keep getting better is high.

Bioware, don’t drop the ball on this one!

Yeah, certainly some people won’t be gripped by it. Nothing is loved by everyone. I, however am absolutely loving it. Enjoyed it beta, liking it even more now that I know I’m not going to get reset again :P

And, like I said, it is certainly more fun with people to hang with. Some of the heroics are a blast.

Ah, well I’m new to the site, just seemed like a bit of a harsh reply to what seemed to be a fairly innocent post.

Like I said, I didn’t hate the game, it just didn’t grab me.

It is definitely a lot more fun when you have people to group with and run the heroics, etc…

lol, I’m not upset I. the slightest. I’m just saying that if he hates the game so much, why even bother to comment on a review. I’m sure he would be happier doing other things.

Geez, for a reviewer you sure are getting upset about other’s opposing views of the game. This guy just stated his opinion (which is exactly what you did in your review), and you want to tell him to go back to wow? Seems a bit harsh

I played in the beta for the last month or two, and I was underwhelmed. Felt largely like a single player game for most of it.

Not a bad game by any stretch, it just didn’t make me want to subscribe. I have a few friends playing though and if they enjoy it enough I may give it a shot since I didn’t know anyone in beta. Maybe with friends it’ll be more interesting.

Well you are a flame, you you are obviously a fanboy. You should not be writing if you can’t handle criticism and attack your readers. Then you threaten to blacklist them on facebook and delete comments just to save face.

I’m sorry if my statement was taken out of context. What I mean is that I, personally, know people who have reported 15 minute queues. I have heard rumors of queues being much longer.

That being said however…welcome to an MMO launch. if you didn’t know there would be massive queues it just means this is your first…or you have a bad memory.

Also, the final stress test weekend, when they let the third wave in…I had a queue but it wasn’t long.
