In his latest column here at MMORPG.com, Coyote takes a look at Star Wars: The Old Republic, not as someone who has memorized every word every developer has uttered since birth, but as someone who has read enough from the fan base to be annoyed. Only Coyote can turn that annoyance into something pointedly hysterical. Read on and then share your thoughts in the comments.
Well if my soon-to-be-discovered corpse and its many, many plastic sword induced bruises aren't evidence enough, try this fun little game: Find someone who played the original Star Wars MMORPG, and casually mention that you believe the "NGE" was the greatest thing to ever happen to the game. Your battered corpse will soon be joining mine in the Sarlacc pit (read: "dumpster") behind Wal-Mart.

"Not all games are meant to suit you. If you don't want to deal with all of the dialogue and storytelling in a game designed for dialogue and storytelling, don't play it, you f**king moron."
^this, exactly.

Nail, head, everytime Coyote. Gotta love the no nonsense black and white of this man.
That was great. Personally I dont care as long as i get to weild a Lightsabre. People seem to damn picky these days, cant just take what your given can ya.
Aww well. Great Article I would love to hear more
In looking for a new MMORPG to play as I wait patiently for my Hello Kitty Online suspension to be lifted, I've been doing a lot of reading and research on Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Story ofmy life...
BWahahah
Amusing stuff.
"Come and have a look at what you could have won."
Wow, your amazing bud. I mean it must be really hard to take a sh1t on a game that hasn't come out yet. For the record, you could have been talking about GW2, Tera, Secret World .. whatever.
Point is, do you (and mmorpg.com) actually think this provides any value to anyone at all?
4) Why are the Hutt's not a playable race?
Such a racist game, how un-PC of them. *tisk tisk*

Fun AND true, great stuff.
Wait, actually, its sad, pretty damn sad...

You might want to re-read it again. He's actually defending the game. Additionally, as it's branded, this article is a humor piece.
Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

Great read lol, All so true
Mess with the best, Die like the rest
Maybe you should go back and read about the lore before making a foul of yourself!
Get a life you freaking Gamer.....no no, you don't understand, I'm a Gamer, I have many lives!!
Good
Enjoyed every single sentence, thank you.
Gamer by nature,
poet by heart.
Very funny stuff, and it made my morning just reading this... well done.
QFT. I for one am a lot less excited about this game now. Personally, I'm ready for the next big game at this point. Any respect I had for Bioware is gone.

Star Wars was great while it lasted, now I've found my own virtual galaxy with its original history that I'm satisfied to play in.

Bioware said that the game was to reflect the movies. There are no gays in any of the movies. I know people like to stretch and say Juhani was gay from KOTOR 1, because of same dialogue that was uniform regardless of the sex of your character but that is all debatable in my opinion; especially seeing as there was no actual relationship option. Secondarily, yes I know about the two Mandolorian characters, but that's really it, and that's a very very small portion of the Star Wars universe. It's nowhere near as prevalent as Bioware or the loud minority is making it out to be.

MMORPG.com should make everyone who wishes to post in the Pub or any TOR related-thread have to read this article first and then take a quiz.
For serious. Totally super serial.
Is it possible to make a /report option on these forums for people who don't "get the joke" and it flies so far above their heads they are left spinning and wide eyed?
Sorry, but I didn't find the gay portion of the article "funny" in the least... and I'm typically the guy that makes fun of everything and can find something to laugh at about almost anything.

Spot on, man. Spot on.
Now i'm trying to take you seriously and all, but your view on the subject coupled with the repeat usage of the word "fist" in your signature is making that a rather difficult task.

Hahahahahaha

ROLF.
Good read.
Also Bane, you're not gonna play because they're patching in same sex content? Kinda ironic from a bloke posting from Camp Hill, you have to admit.
STFU!! thx
