Star Wars: The Old Republic

Star Wars: the Old Republic (or SWTOR) is a 2011 MMORPG by Bioware, taking place in the Old Republic era, ~3643-3625 years prior to the battle of Yavin.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) 8 unique stories, each one for one character class. Some of them, like the stories of the Sith Warrior or Imperial Agent are considered to be very good.
 * 2) A set of 5 unique companions for each class, every last of them provided with the unique storyline. At least one of them is romanceable for one PC's gender.
 * 3) Awesome soundtrack.
 * 4) A lot of good and likeable characters.
 * 5) An awesome expansion pack "Knights of the Fallen Empire" and its decent sequel, "Knights of the Eternal Throne".
 * 6) Extremely good CGI trailers, like "Deceived" or "Sacrifice", each featuring more character development than recent sequel SW movies combined.
 * 7) Voice acting: not only starring great actors like Jennifer Hale, but including voice over of every cutscene in the game, exceeding total of 400 hours of voice lines.
 * 8) Decent cutscenes, given the antique of the game engine being used.
 * 9) Actual dialogue system in a MMO game, with an ability to choose of 2 or 3 different dialogue options.
 * 10) It has one of the cheapest subscription fees among any MMORPGs.
 * 11) Friendly community, despite that there is little moderation.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Bad graphics even for 2011.
 * 2) After the game's funding have been apparently cut by EA, now it receives only one or two short updates yearly.
 * 3) Low performance even though the graphics are more fit for 00s.
 * 4) Although featuring great class stories mentioned above, some of them like Jedi Consular's or Jedi Knight's are not universally acclaimed.
 * 5) Bugs and glitches.
 * 6) Gearing system was broken beyond repair in 2016. That issue haven't been addressed by the devs until the late 2019.
 * 7) The breaking of the gearing and looting systems resulted in PvP dying out.
 * 8) Legacy of the Sith expansion is considered by some people underwhelming.
