Sorry babe.. the joke is on the ones still playing.
And that'd be you wouldn't it?
O rly?
They've basically said the game you guys enjoyed was also crap Eitherway, I don't agree with either awards...
I think Obraik is the only one left playing SWG. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you? I think he's like the musicians on the Titanic still playing along while the ship is sinking. I just feel sorry for you, man.
1. Been playing since June 2003 (a week or two after launch)
2. On these forums, maybe. Certainly am not the only one playing the game but whatever, people here won't believe me when I say how many are playing so I'm going to save myself the typing
3. I'll play what I want, when I want and for however long I want. If you must know, yes I do have a life outside of SWG, I've been windsurfing with a few friends the last few mornings, I attend University and I work part time
Don't forget your full time job making up excuses for $OE. If you don't get paid for that, you should at least get college credit.

what exactly did you do during the pre-cu era of SWG, i.e in game activities.

Pretty much everything I'm doing post-nge. Loot whoring, resource hunting (creature variety and inorganic variety), PvP, doing up my house(s), crafting, questing (not as much pre-cu since heh, there weren't many back then), chatting with friends, etc...

lol thats soo funny was that pre CU or just after release because all the reviews i got to read at that time was great game just need debugging. 12 months in they just got slammed because they never listened and debugged the game at that time SWG started to fall apart in my opinion
this is want you have to rember SOE put together arguably the best dev team ever and said create the best mmo ever and they did that it. it's just SOE had no idea how to maintain the high standards set by the original dev team
piss poor management and customer apathy set in and the rot continues today the best chance SOE has at saving the game would be to pull the plug then start again somewhere close to pre-cu
as for a rollback its too late i would love to see one but its too late to go back 12 months if we had to have a CU and the game needed one. The CU seen on the test center was somewhere near what was needed not the CU we got
last but not least i think the focus group was just a poor publicity stunt the games broken and bugged code just wont hold up for a 3rd revamp
WOW! That was a rather scathing review... True enough though, the pre-cu and post-nge games are/were both sloppy and buggy as hell... Can't believe they would get that dubious honor twice!
I also find it hilarious how tempermental AA is with ANY SOE product... You really crack me up dude...

Agree with both Coasters but anyone blaming SOE for MxO needs help, badly. SOE only bought MxO to get the DC license so they could do their new superhero based MMO. Holding them responsible for the development of a flop game is silly. They didn't write it, they bought it.
I do agree that both the NGE and MxO deserve their 'coaster' awards but ridiculing SOE for MxO is a bit silly and shows how much bias this guy has against the company.
However, he gave it a "Coaster" Pre-NGE and that I dissagree with. Both Pre-CU and post CU SWG were very fun gameplay. It wasn't for everyone but 250k+ people enjoyed it. That's hardly a 'coaster'.

MxO was MUCH better before $OE took it over. Sure, it wasn't blowing the doors off the industry, but it was fun.

WAY off here man... It was Mythic who shopped it around (with approval), and the deal was for The Matrix IP only. The DC deal has been in discussions for YEARS, and with several companies. This deal was rumored (reported on rumor sites) to have been inked well before the MxO purchase. SOE's stated goal was to turn The Matrix into another EQ: We buy and make cash. They once were good at that, but now...
I'll start my own SWG... with Black Jack... and Hookers!!!

That's not the way it was sold to ME when I gt the e-mails from them. It was "We bought the DC rights, and by the way, we also got MxO too.
They bought the license. Since WB didn't want to just have MxO without the chance for growth with the DC thing, they got OUT of the MMORPG business.

Why is this thread still alive? Obraik already won, its over, move along people theres nothing to see here.
Swg gets coaster award pre cu, swg gets coaster award now, swg has ALWAYS sucked people. The NGE made it a bit more bearable though.

I never get tired of SOE bashing. These guys really do need to be held journalisticlly accountable for the way they have screwed over their [former] fans.
The fanbois can cry all they want but SOE has dug their own grave with their long term arrogance. For too long they have tried to shove crap down people's throats assuming we would eat it and like it. You cant make games that take a billion hours to get decent at and then ass it up 3/4 through the product life cycle and expect the consumers who are pissed out it to sit idly by.
SOE business practices are borderline fradulent and highly highly unethicial.

And that'd be you wouldn't it?
Sorry I can't imagine anyone with even half a brain would want either of the previous incarnations of SWG back. They were all horribly boring and tedious added to the fact that you couldn't be a jedi and if you want to play Star Wars I doubt most people would be bothered to want to play anything but.
Enjoy your pity party. You and the EvE guys should get together on how to ruin a good website and write a book.
CGW also trashed SWG about 2 months ago when the re-reviewed it. I used to not be a basher of SOE, never really had a reason to. But after watching the devs spin around in circles with EQ2, at times seemingly having no idea where they wanted the game to go, I've found the bashing to be fun. The debacle that is SWG only makes it more fun
