Re: Re: Re: I wonder what kind of loot those AT-AT Walkers drop?
Huh, what a very closed mind you have, Osweld. I have seen many previews that talk extensively about the gameplay. Several people have pointed out a few of them to you, yet still you persist in your totally wrong statement that "they're showing nothing but graphics". What's up with that?
Hell, there's a 12 page preview of the game in this months CGW. Yes, there are screenshots, but there is plenty of text in those pages describing gameplay in pretty good detail. As to your EQ argument, the third and fourth sentences of that preview go like this "Let's just make EverQuest in space. That was the first thing the developers of Star Wars Galaxies made sure not to have as a design goal."
So where, exactly, is your problem?
It's fine if you want to dislike SWG, but your persistance in the idea that they're selling fancy graphics over content is an unfounded and baseless argument. Come up with another one. The developers have released tons of gameplay details.
The game could suck. No doubt about it. But from what I've read about the gameplay (in the previews that describe them which apparently you refuse to believe exist), if they deliver on what they've promised, it's going to be a very big game indeed.
I happen to agree with you that MMORPGs are pretty bad. Asheron's Call is the only decent one that exists (in my opinion), and even that one has its share of problems. EQ is coaster material, as far as I'm concerned. But even I'm going to check out SWG when it's released, given what I've heard about it.

Rather then demonstrating gameplay or talking about what kind of new concepts and features they are offering to the genre, they just show a bunch of fancy graphics and a Star Wars logo. That gives a pretty good indication that the gameplay is just as much crap as it was in EQ, and that they are not offering anything new outside of eye candy and a popular logo.

I thought they where done talking about the actual game at that point, anyways.
