For certain definitions of "old", Star Wars: The Old Republic.

I actually own a copy of the game, but because it's a PC game (which I hate) and an MMO (which I hate), I've always procrastinated actually setting it up and playing.

The main reason why I still wanted to play it was because I loved the KotOR games, and people have said it's possible to solo most of the actual story content in SW:TOR (just like you can solo the story content in Elder Scrolls Online). Which is all I mostly care about.

Other factors that have sort of led me to procrastinate it is the fact that you can't romance any of the female companions with female main characters (which is how I like to play), and the fact that I'm not sure how many character slots you can have saved without a paid subscription.

If you are indeed a fan of KOTOR, I don't think you're missing out on much. They really shat the bed in dealing with the core characters of those games for the MMO.

Also, the solo gameplay is choppy, because it went through that MMO phase of forcing everyone to play together for an arc or three. That means when you finish the initial solo-story, you have a ton of content that you can't do and have to skip, before you hit that phase where they wised up and realised it would kill off their newcomer player base, so everything becomes solo again.

Honestly, it's a dumpster fire of a game. And that stories aren't that great either. (inb4 'agent is teh best political/spy drama thriller ever written since bread was sliced!' it isn't, it's mediocre at best.)
