When is the part where I go "Worst Studio: Bioware?!?" Is it right now?

"Worst Studio: Bioware?!?"

[OctoberRaven]

I just don't plain like BioWare in general, but I gave them that distinction because everything about SW:TOR screams lazy and it's got all the makings of being the worst Star Wars game ever (yes, worse than the podracing one).

Especially the character races which are all essentially "Humans, but with different skin texture".

Oh and cyborgs, which is just completely lazy period. I mean, for fucks sake, there's like one cyborg in the entire galaxy (two if you count the guy in Cloud City). That's like a Lord of the Rings MMO where a character race is "Sauron".

[Your Mom]

Ok but worst? Plus that game isnt even out yet. Isnt this supposed to be based on things that have actually been released?

[Matt]

As the only game I've bought this year, Call of Duty MW3 wins every category, even the ones it doesn't qualify for.

[OctoberRaven]

Fair point. But everyone I know whose played the beta says it's awful, and it just gets to me because I fucking love Star Wars.

I'll retract it anyways because yeah it hasn't come out yet.

Oh no. That Podracing game was actually tons of fun. One of the best games I had on Dreamcast.

[OctoberRaven]

I hated it myself, but I had a Nintendo 64 and was never that good at racing games anyway (except Crazy Taxi, Simpsons: Road Rage and Biker Mice From Mars for the SNES).

[DoubleX]

I'll retract it anyways because yeah it hasn't come out yet.

Then they don't know what they're talking about, the beta was awesome. TOR is looking fantastic, I personally cannot wait for early game access to start.

[Ruki]

ORO, you are just ten different kinds of wrong today, tsk tsk.

The pod racing game was glorious!

[OctoberRaven]

Can we at least agree that Star Wars Trilogy: Arcade was awesome?

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Get out.

[Momo]

Get out.

If that's in reference to Skyrim/Bethesda worst of the year, I specifically mean the PS3 version. They can go fuck themselves for ever having the balls to even think about releasing that mess, let alone going through with it.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

GET OUT!

My version is running utterly fine, though that may be because by the time I got it the patch was up. Dunno how it was before the patch but it's fine now.
