Patriiiiick, don't read into a joke. I don't care if it's a slow news day either.

I seriously expect better than this from Giant Bomb & Patrick. I do not doubt a new Batman is next but it will not be called Arkham World. It was a silly joke and it is pathetic that you are trying to make it into a news story.

Holy shit, someone is SERIOUS ABOUT GAMES. Calm down children.

I tuned in for 5 mins, saw Blizzard get some lame ass "gamer god" award, then the D3 trailer which kept locking up, and turned it off. That's the first and last time I ever watch that god awful show.

I need a shower.

@patrickklepek You really can't resist stirring shit up can you? Here's a great announcement, more Bastion to play, but instead you turn this into another "fuck Microsoft, everyone should get really angry" article.

Between this, the UMD passport article, and the Microsoft ToS article, you're batting .000 on mobilizing your personal Giant Bomb army.

Seriously? None of this stuff bothers you? It's attitudes like this that are the reason they can nickel and dime the industry with no repercussions.

This, ignorance is bliss.

Ugh and I thought he mentioned doing that because of a bet or something..

Good job discussing stuff that doesn´t concern you at all. Next up: When will Ryan get married and Vinny have some cute little babies? Please, leave the GB crew alone with your life advice.

Seriously, how fucking rude can people be. @Mageman Get a life dude.

@Xeirus: I don't recall my character ever uttering a single line of spoken dialog. If all "fully voiced" required was some important npc talking sometimes then just about every mmo in the last 10 years qualifies.

You're one of the few then who gives a damn about your own characters voice. Picking a response it enough for me, I just read it and chose it I don't need to also hear my guy say it all over again.

Also, I would love some examples of all of those MMOs with fully voiced NPCs over the past 10 years, and when you say "Important" in such a derogatory way it makes it seem like every NPC should have a 20 mins covo waiting for you without any useful to say... no thank you.

As much as you want to fight it in the past 10 years there have been less than a handful of fully voiced MMOs, so lets not make things up.

If you want to say anything else take it to a pm but your attempts at trolling and being a flamer are already boring me to death. Long story short you need to take a reading comprehension class because there has never been a fully voiced mmo until SW:ToR but that is hardly the only new thing the game is trying. Your comments about "picking a response" all but scream you never even played the game too. If you had you would know it handles conversations like Mass Effect and or Dragon Age 2.

I'm not going to take anything to a PM, do you not think you "pick a response" in Mass Effect and DA, just because it's a wheel???? I honestly don't understand what you're trying to say. If you seriously think I'm lying about playing the game you need to get a grip.

It's not trolling, and def not flaming. I'm flat out telling you you're wrong and just because EQ2 is not fully voiced NOW, it was when it launched, try reading up on it for christs sake before you make shit up, thanks.

Don't bother responding because I won't.

EQ2 had everything you're talking about, and look at it now.

Boring - as- hell....

No, no it didn't. The focus was on your character in the most minimal sense possible, there was no voice acting, forced grouping at an extremely low level, obtuse crafting that was far too complex, and the game was so grindy it made grindy games seem fun. Of all the mmo's I have played only maybe the original EQ itself was worse in any of those categories. It is almost insulting to compare EQ2 to SW:ToR to be honest.

There was no voice acting???

Good lord, someone hasn't played EQ2. I would stop while you think you're ahead.

Average mmo? I get the feeling most of you don't realize that would require it to be a barely playable snorefest piece of shit. Which it isn't.

As far as sales go this game will easily be the best selling opening week of any mmo in history.

Nothing to separate it from other mmo's you say? Uh... fully voiced? The story is actually about your character? Alignment choices? (you did know light dark choices effect your end game gear options, personal story, companions, abilities, and even potentially your character appearance right?) New PVP arena games that are more than capture the flag or control point xyz? The entire companion character and crafting system being completely different from any other mmo (save a few I doubt any of you have ever heard of)? This doesn't even get into the entire concept of the soft trinity, advanced class options, raids, end game pvp, branching paths through small team dungeons, or the million other things they are trying to tailor to their game and improve on.

Anyone who has followed this game at all knew it was not out to reinvent the wheel. Hell give me enough time I could find you interviews given by SW:ToR's game makers who flat out say they were not looking to redefine mmo's but instead improve upon them. Unrealistic expectations from people who more than likely don't even play mmo's and have not followed the game isn't Bioware's fault.

Lastly.... not star wars??? Ridiculous. It looks like KotOR, sounds like KotOR, and has been written by the same people who wrote KotOR. I think it is pretty clear what that adds up to. You don't like alot of people being jedi? Get over it. If you couldn't play as one then they may as well had not bothered making the game in the first place and anyone with common sense knows that. Also for a cheap cash in attempt it sure cost alot of money. Like.... more than any video game ever made.

EQ2 had everything you're talking about, and look at it now.

Boring - as- hell....

Just putting it up in case anyone is missing it, Limbo is only $2.50 on steam for today.

If you haven't played this game (or just couldn't beat it) you need to get this!

Need more Will Smith, less Patrick Klepek.

Agreed. Less pretentious hipster and more real dude please.

Pretty tired of people talking about him, care to explain how he's "pretentious"? Seems like a normal guy to me, if not just younger than the others.
