I really want to like this game. Though the game play did look bland in this trailer, they really were only trying to showcase the armor (which looked cool, just hope there's a lot of styles) in this trailer. I feel as though I have seen better game play vids in the past. Ultimately, this game won't be out for another year, leaving plenty of room for improvement. I'm cautious but hopeful.

if this wasn't an mmo, people would say it's trash, why can mmo's get away with sucky graphics, bad animations, boring combat etc.

He totally clicked on those bad guys and then clicked a skill on a hotbar.  Then the enemies died.

This is exactly the thing that puts me off most MMOs. To go from Mass Effect 2's dynamic cover-based combat to The Old Republic - and yes I know it's different teams and styles of games - seems like a serious step backwards in Bioware games, even if it is on par with what other MMOs do. Even if there were a simple procedural dodge animation system that would give visual feedback for misses as opposed to hits, it would look a lot more dynamic even if the player is standing still. Perhaps it looks better if the player moves while attacking, but if the AI just stands there, and it's all dice-rolled, what's the point? "
Bioware made DRAGON AGE. And KOTOR. So, no, it's not a "step backwards". And there is a reason why action based MMOs aren't catching on.

I want to like this game on the basis of Star Wars and Bioware, but I admit that I'm really not... inspired. As much as I like those two things, I don't really want a Star Wars version of WoW/EQ. 
 
I'm fine with it being an MMO. It just looks pretty dull.

Looks cool armour needs to look alot more badass, WoW has a cartoonish look but the higher tier armours look bad ass. Old republic needs to follow suit.

I am one of the 5 people who actually liked Star Wars: Galaxies so Im pretty excited for this. Although the gameplay looks a little dull, I still cannot deny anything Starwars...

I'm psyched for this game, but they might want to make the enemies a bit more active. An entire game of enemies just standing in one place and shooting you doesn't sound appealing. Hopefully in the regular play, they run for cover and stuff.

I will probably be playing a smuggler or bounty hunter. Not a jedi/sith.

@zanthox:
although just to say in everyone of them he only fought like two guys at a time which is barely a room full  (except for a very tiny room). and the monster thing (forgot its name) just stood there.

Man, the combat in this game looks extremely dull. "We want you to feel like the hero of your own personal Star Wars movie." I don't remember Han Solo running at stormtroopers, then standing in one spot right in the middle of the room and shooting enemies one by one, who likewise, are not making any attempt to dodge blaster fire...
 
I remain underwhelmed by the actual gameplay I have seen thus far.

Fucks sake! Why does MMO combat have to be so mindless? And, as much as I want this game to be good, the fact that they're cutting up so much of the gameplay for this trailer is a BAD sign.

Rule of thumb, the more you look like Bobba Fett, the stronger you are.
