Twenty Minutes With Star Wars: The Old Republic

This may have been said already, but this video came out over a month ago...

Giant walls of text should be banned from comments.

Bioware really is doing a good job with TOR. Its gonna be awesome.

I'm currently rocking a fat ninja staff.

I would've preferred a single-player game.

That was freakin' sweet!

I think I'll pass on this one.

I still can't get my head around the art style.

"We're going to wave at someone... because that's what you do in MMOs"
 
Hah! :D

Holy shit!

Really excited

Am I going crazy? This looks terrible! Why is it that the second an RPG turns into an MMORPG it looks like crap? Wow "up 2, 3, or 4 enemies at once!" What an amazing feat of gaming! Animations looks choppy and stale, voice acting is laughable, and the gameplay already looks extremely repetitive from just a 20 minute preview. *sigh* And I really had my hopes up for this one.

This looks good, hopefully it meets expectations.

I like how the second in charge of the ship has such big breasts. Some things never change in game development.

Boner. That is all.

I think this might be the first MMO I'll purchase. I mean it's "Star Wars fan buying Star Wars game LOL", but damn BioWare. If this didn't shake my foundations.....fuck. Ha ha.

I know it's an mmo but it just looks stupid the way the bounty hunter at the start just stand in plain view taking hits while the enemys take cover.

Isnt this a repeat ??
I saw this a while ago ?

I am so excited about this game, I can't wait for it. :D 
This might be the first MMO I ever play! :D haha 
I'm not usually into them but yeah this seems cool :)

" Isnt this a repeat ?? I saw this a while ago ? "

This will be the first MMO I've ever played.  I wonder how many times I'll be verbally assaulted for playing as a Jedi...

Man, I wish this would come out on 360 or PS3. My computer is a dinosaur.

Wow this came out a while ago, why is it just now being posted? Whatever.

" I confused the bounty hunter and the sith guy when I first saw this.  Can I play a bounty hunter who's good?  Smuggler who's bad?  Expansion, maybe? :) "

this was great news like 3 weeks ago lol. were you guys at giantbomb trying to post about the closed beta that bioware announced? i also like how the narrators are making comments about their own game like, "very nice" and "ooh, that's nice". complimenting your own work is pretty unattractive.

IGN had it up a few weeks ago. Notice at the top right corner, it says Gamescon 2009.  GB crew should get into the beta and get some footage up. "

i need a new pc

You soiled your chair?  Isn't that worse? "

The droid sounds like Clank lolz

This game keeps getting better and better!

Bounty Hunter's are good. Smugglers are bad. I think you mean a bad bounty hunter and a good smuggler.  No such thing, but whatever. "

Well, I read on an official blog earlier that Sith Warriors can redeem themselves. Check it out.

How many times can you possibly say "Quick Look" in a 20 minute video?

Looks good, but it didn't look like they ever really had trouble battle, but hopefully there will be some more challenging enemies in the later game.

I find the level design to be disappointing. The cruiser environment does not feel like the inside of a real ship. The rooms and corridors are so spacious!  
 
Is there a benefit to using a ranged-class vs. a melee class? 
 
It is mentioned several times that they want the player to experience heroic battles, but really, it just feels too easy. Even that battle vs. the Jedi Knight.

SOLD. Corner office.

Bounty Hunters are part of the Sith Empire and Smugglers are part of the Republic. You basically just said Han Solo is a villain and Boba Fett is a hero. Do some research? "

this sounds pretty awesome.  I'm not an MMO guy but this looks pretty cool.

I don't need to research common sense. "

"let's recap what we have shown you so far..." WTF? Am I in the marketing training departement? Is this a Scientology lesson? I stopped watching after the half - too much of the Doctors influence of 'on-the-message' crap PR-lingo.  
 
Thanks for annoying me, Bioware Bots.

"You get to play this in a universe full of thousands of friends!" 
 
Well I don't know about you... but I commonly slaughter my friends with blaster rifles.
