Star Wars: The Old Republic has changed drastically in nearly 8 years. The video shows what has become of the once hoped-for “WoW killer.”
The MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic had great ambitions back then. It was treated by eager fans before its release as a potential “WoW killer” and it had the best starting conditions for that. With Star Wars, BioWare had an extremely popular brand, and the game itself aimed to do many things better than the competition.
For instance, SWTOR was characterized by particularly many story content, which in typical BioWare fashion came with cutscenes, dialogue choices, or even romances.
But what has actually become of SWTOR in recent years? How has the game developed over the last years? Is it still lacking in endgame content and rich in story? How does it look in terms of PvP?
All these questions have been answered in detail by the colleagues at GameStar in a video. Additionally, they also address other aspects:
- Is SWTOR still the same game as at launch?
- Can SWTOR still keep its players engaged today?
- What are the biggest criticisms and what are the greatest strengths?
Anyone who can spare a little time should definitely take around 17 minutes to experience a small retrospective that shows the development of Star Wars: The Old Republic and gives a preview of the future.
After all, in a few months, the new expansion “Onslaught” is coming, which will bring fresh wind to the seemingly neglected game.
How do you like SWTOR at the moment? Are you long-term players? Do you just drop in now and then? Or did you stop shortly after the release and never give the MMO another chance?
