The lack of quality of life changes really shows, even after playing Guild Wars 2 (which, for reference, only came out a year later). Just an old game that is really starting to show its age. While I had hoped some time and distance would improve my opinion, I only got more frustrated with the plot holes and lack of attention to detail.Īll of that being said, I don’t think SWTOR is a bad game.

I did get through a few class stories, but the story gets far less enjoyable throughout the expansions. I spent move of November playing through a few of the class stories and the Shadow of Revan, Knights of the Fallen Empire, Knights of the Eternal Throne, and Onslaught expansions. As we approach the tenth anniversary of the game, I decided to try playing again this month. BioWare released Star Wars: the Old Republic in December 2011.
