Should i get TOR?

OK, ive been debating hard the past few days. I friggen LOVE star wars, and this game looks pretty decent. How ever im hearing mixed reviews from beta testers. I really want this game to be good but i just dont know

I've logged a ton of time, too much, time on WoW and all i did at max level was PvP, any MMO im just there to PvP 99% of the time. SO boys, i need your infinite gaming logic. Worth getting for a huge PvP'er who finds raids or what ever there called in TOR boring?

Thanks alot.

id go for it, its alot like wow but the star wars story elements are kick ass.

Honestly it worth the buy with the free month the question is will it be worth it a renewal

I played the beta for about 3 months and while it wasn't terrible, it wasn't anything special either. I'm waiting for the box to drop to about $10 and even then, I really only see myself playing ToR for a month or two, tops. The voice acting and cut-scenes, while initially interesting, get grating after the new game euphoria fades, and what remains is a very linear, on-rails, MMORPG. Been there - done that.

Its wow in space with voice acting and minor choices (that have no real impact from what i can tell), Oh there is also more cut-scenes in the game then in wow for example. Am i going to get it? Hmm... I guess i will get it and then play the only class i want to play for the story to see what will happen. By then i should have a some what good idea if Bioware can support (patch) and make content fast enough with high enough quality. I do however wish that some other company would come and push at blizzard so that we the consumers will get higher quality products from both of them. Sadly i doubt SWTOR will be the one to do it. Why? Voice acting with cut scenes, while it might sound good on paper its going to drain A LOT of time and money so i doubt they will be able to keep it up in the long run. KalDurenik

Actually it's more of a multiplayer KoTOR.

mass effect turned MMO...if that sounds good then get it

I was super excited about it, until I played the beta. It got boring quick and continued to be boring.

If you enjoyed WoW then I think you'll enjoy SWTOR. It's a very polished game from what I've played and while it won't blow your mind with completely new game mechanics it's a high quality game and the story is also really cool, if you're interested in that sort of thing.

No one really cares about how much money you spend on buying yourself games, no offence.

He was giving his opinion on if it was worth buying. Relax angry forum guy.

Funny, I was unaware you spoke for everyone. Omniscience must be nice.

In the future when I wish to express my opinion on something, no matter how mundane or trivial, like, say, a video game - I'll be certain to filter it though you first. It's also strange how you conveniently omitted the actual part of my post where I explained why I thought the game was only worth about $10 but, then again, it's not surprising.

gaaahhh haha this is good feedback guys but..... i still dont know haha. gaaahhh

Ok better question. How is the reward system for PvP? Is it comparable to people who do high end raids or what ever they're called in TOR

I don't see the harm in buying it, you get 30 days to play it for free and if you do not like it and think it is boring or w/e, you can choose not to sub and it will be money well spent. (Some 60dollar games only last around 20 hours or less depending on story) If you are a huge star wars fan I do not see how you cannot like it for the first twenty or more hours or maybe the whole game. I have played almost every sw game (huge fan like yourself) and enjoyed almost every one just because it is star wars. Since the best star wars game is kotor and the this game is similar to kotor it is a must buy. JokerJosiah

i bought it...:x

I hardly care about your opinion on anything to be quite honest; what irks me is that you seem to have a knack for stating how much money you're willing to spend on every game you comment on. Your self-importance might be admirable to your (ex-)grade school teacher, but really, no one cares.

I think this is one of the worst places to ask for an opinion on an mmo.

I was in the beta and I really enjoyed it. From most of the beta testers i've talked to they seemed to had enjoyed it as well. If you love star wars, then you should definitely pick it up, the lore and story is really well done and any star wars fan will have a great time. I tried a bit of the PvP during the beta and it seemed pretty good, but I wouldn't buy it just for PvP. There are games coming that are going to have a much larger focus on PvP (Guild Wars 2), but if you love Star Wars you should pick up for the story.

I am debating whether to get it, I played WoW for 4 years and quit like 5 months ago. Cant decide :S

Well you already bought it so it's too late, but I you should have waited until you know more about the PvP. I know there are some battlegrounds, but I haven't heard anything about an arena-style PvP or what rewards you get for doing PvP. I just don't think this game is going to be about PvP. It will PvE dungeons and raids with a little bit of PvP on the side. Someone that plans to do PvP only will probably be disappointed.

yes you should

It's a good single player game with multiplayer aspects to it. It's worth the purchase price for the free month. After that.... who knows.
