About Star Wars Bounty Hunters Outer Rim:
You might be wondering why on Earth would someone with so few hours logged into this game write a review on it, surely they can’t be serious? Well, Star Wars: The Old Republic launched in December of 2011, but it wasn’t on any platform like this; Origin came out earlier during the same year, however this game never required it and still doesn’t. I’ve actually been playing SW:TOR, on and off, since June 2012 and just haven’t used the Steam version until recently. I have 10 characters in the game – 1 at level 75, 1×65, 7×50+, 1×34 – and my total playtime spread across them all, discovered using the “/played” command and tallied up, tells me I’ve put almost 772 hours (over 295 of those hours spent on a single character) into SW:TOR at the time of writing this review… This is excluding loading screens and such. I’ve experienced practically all the story content this MMO has to offer, and I’ve played both as a subscriber and on a free account, but I’ve only dabbled in PVP. If you don’t believe me then just look at the 167 Steam achievements. SW:TOR used to cost a full game’s price plus a recurring fee after one month of play when it was first released in 2011, but since late 2012 BioWare and EA have adopted a free-to-play model for it with an optional subscription. This means that you can download the game from the official website or here on Steam and play it for as long as you like without paying them any money. However, free players have a number of restrictions placed on their accounts, so if you want to play the game for a month or longer it is actually better to subscribe in order to remove those limits and gain access to plenty of extra content (it’s also just much more fun that way, as some of the constraints placed on free accounts can be quite annoying).
