cant believe the OP gave the graphics a score of 8... wow really an 8.. what would you give age of conan a 20 ?
The graphics in the game are bad and thats just that.. no the art style on some of the planets are pretty cool and on some of the larger worlds the design is pretty good as well... but the graphics do not merit a score of 8.. i would say a belwo average 4 maybe adn thats just because of the character faces are actually half decent...
Pretty high pvp score considering the boring generic battlegrounds in the game and no real reason for open pvp
Give me example of any MMO which has a REAL reason for PVP. And if you mentione a FFA full loot sandbox as an example i am going to laugh.
Territory control, resoure competition, any permanent changeability of the world that would give control to one set of players over another, ect. That's what creates player conflict between different groups of players, and would be a reason to go to war or battle them, not just for points to buy gear later on.
As for examples: eve, darkfall, mortal online, dominus (soon), archage(eventually). Hell, even tera(a pretty carebear themepark by themepark standards) has more reason to pvp then this game.
yes, some of these are ffa full loot, so laugh, doens't mean you know what your talking about
edit: I have no problems with instanced pvp, but the guy you quoted has a point. And it's why I doubt there will be much open world pvp in this game.
at least bunnyhopper and this guy get it, no need for me to say anything more, they've replied correctly
Open world PvP in SWTOR will have special materials needed for crafting special items. You can control areas specifically, and change the world by occupying that territory indefinitely. You do get access to specific vendors, get buffs for your entire faction, and advance the over arching story all at the same time.
Last I checked, those are the same reasons you PvP in other games, territory control, special resources, special items, oh, but most importantly, PvP should be fun.... which I find the PvP in SWTOR to be, so, that in a nutshell is why SWTOR received the score it did. Its fun, I enjoyed it, it wasn't just mashing buttons, the level designs usually allowed for strategy apart from the skills you used, I DID do some open world PvP as I was on a PvP server, but not very often, and no, at the time rewards were not implemented in the areas where I fought... doesn't mean it wasn't still fun for me though.

Biased review, really 8's and 9's ? I'm suprised you didn't give everything a 10.
Coming from an extremely biased GW2 fan / troll. How am I not surprised at your comments?
Coming from an extremely biased SW:TOR fanboy. Therefore I am not surprised by your hypocritical comment which reeks of intolerance towards opinions that oppose yours.

W..why would I give everything a 10.. nothing was perfect? I did give one item under an 8, but, why would I give anything a sub par rating when nothing was sub par, except for, the inability to change the UI. Nothing was severely gamebreaking.. so that rules out anything under a 5. Nothing had bugs that wouldn't allow me to progress, nor did I have to worry about server stability or severe lag.
Plus, I was able to test a lot more of the game than, well, you did, and found it to be a lot of fun. I found the story to be enjoyable for most classes. All core features were above average, and some features were a lot of fun (at least initially), and/or are categorical to SWTOR.
Any unbiased review would likely come up to the same conclusion to be honest. By unbiased I mean looking at the game for how well done it is and not basing their facts on just what they are tired of this minute.

Lol, I can respect difference of opinion when you look at things objectively. Still, I can not understand trolling a video game forum for a game that you never plan to play. I have much better things to do in my life. If you do not like something go do something else. Life is far too short to sit and stew over a video game.

Indeed, to each their own, but I have a feeling you haven't seen many side by side comparisons lately, so there you go in my link above.
