Well damn. Bought this stock a while ago and it didn't move for the longest time. Finally got tired of it being dead weight on my portfolio and released it back into the wild. Ah well.
Here. I'll take the troll tag and say the only part that this game gets right is shooting stuff. That's the only part its ever gotten right for the seven years it has existed, because lets be honest-- You have to try really hard to screw up a first …
Seriously, I can't even post another blog entry for Old Republic anymore because I can only say "I told you so" so many damn times. It's not stellar graphically, it breaks absolutely zero new ground in gameplay, half the classes barely acknowledge t…
Free to Play? Old Republic? Excuse me while I choke on my laughter.
But seriously, this game cost what again? 300 million? It'll never see a return on investment if it does. Ever. That and the franchise is ultimately owned by a prima donna direct…
Healers are broken in every other MMO because developers allow them to be broken. The trinity is broken because devs allow healers to cast 3 second heals on a one second cooldown over and over and over until you run out of mana. Players expect you t…
No matter what you pre-orer, you'll also get:

Hero’s Band
Hero's Band Provides: +2 Power, +2 Precision, +2 Toughness, +2 Vitality, +2 Condition Damage, +2 Healing, and +2% Critical Damage
...Which you'll probably vendor in 10 leve…
I'd be willing to bet the rationale behind the boost to 80 is that a majority of people playing for this long looking to get friends back already have toons at or near the level cap. In fact, I would say that the new SoR is functioning in much the s…
Just curious, what game was the op playing? Old Republic is littered end to end with mandatory 'Kill X of Y' and I'm still searching for what makes this a revolutionary game, let alone one that took over $200 million to develop when the distance bet…
Frankly, story carries this game, nothing more, nothing less. Everything else is mediocre. I'd say more, but my blog was already a victim of the NDA hammer.
If you're already predisposed toward starwars, you'll give the medocre a pass because it d…
Three out of the five listed are F2P bedrock, frankly. It's almost worthless to point out crap like "pay to world chat" or even "buying your respecs". If you didn't expect these or other elements like them going in, you probably shouldn't be reviewi…
Sure, whatever you say.
You can quote giant walls of text all day long, but that doesn't change the fact that it's just horrid for something they're actually exposing to the public, not just a limited test group. And hey, I love cartoony style gra…
That actually makes it sadder. Even worse because they implimented it so horrendously that it ceases to matter. That alone should be a huge red flag to avoid at all costs.
And this is open beta. The game is all but set in stone for release if past…

The only reason Faxion is not getting the "player press" a game needs to get noticed is because it's nothing like Shadowbane, it's bug infested, graphics from the 1990's, horrible UI, lacks good game mechanics and has…
I'll tell you what crippled pop values... First impressions.
Sever consolidation is a symptom of a bigger problem, frankly. Even if you take half the comments here at face value and consolidate them down to what? Two? Three servers? Sure you'll ga…
A dissenting opinion.
Was not impressed. The main consensus within the in-game chat (when they weren't arguing about whether this was like warcraft or not) was "This is fun because I'm tired of warcraft." That's not exactly a glowing letter of rec…
Even button mashers have an audience. This game is clearly aimed at the console in terms of audience and complexity, with the PC market as an afterthought. As long as you can hang, you're golden since it does everything else right. Graphics, story, …
Vindictus. But i gotta say, out of that entire list it's ironically that's Vindictus is the only game that's not an MMO. I'm sorry, but staged five manned instances does not make for "massive". It's a five man playstation game, no more, no less.
