[Kurb]

Worth every friggin second IMO

Cinematic/cutscenes are fuging awesome.

I've been playing a Imperial Agent, and they are pretty sweet so far.

Gameplay is good, feels like anyone could pick this game up and play it with no prior EXP in this genre.

Lots of fun esp for an mmo noob like me. You can pretty much play single player if u want.

[Kurb]

[The Saltman]

Very fun game.

Lack of auto attack is a big step in the right direction. Combat is a bit more fluid than "the industry standard."

The companion system is AMAZING.

does the PVP actually require skill, though? This is my main concern in most games. The best players should stand out. If I wanted button mashing mayhem, I'd go play Mortal Kombat.

Depends how you are defining skill... Not in the FPS sense as it is still typical MMO combat. Should have at least the same level of skill as a game like WoW as far as PvP goes (knowing what abilities to use when etc)

There is bolstering, wherein lower level players are granted stats etc as if they were higher level, but the only pvp right now is battleground style.
