I actually agree witht hem points most people did feel like that and i remember everyone bitching bout how disappointing the game was.

It's weird now all of a sudden everyones saying "omg pre cu was amazing", it just wasn't.

    Um ... because nothing changed between release and the CU?

    Try to make a less obviously ridiculous point.

    WHEN IT WAS RELEASED.

    The game has got so much better since then! Play the game JUST BEFORE the CU hits. It was AWESOME.

    I loved the game pre cu, myself.   It was amazing, it made this non mmo playing gal fall absolutely in love with the genre.  Most of their complaints were valid, it should have had space and vehicles included from the start.   They were wrong about it not being fun though, and some of the silly stuff was the most fun......

    I remember how every main city was full, people in buff lines, people dancing at the cantinas, people dueling, showing off pets. Those were the days. :(

    Well, that was also from a mainstream gaming perspective.  A lot of the negative things that were said about SWG in that video could be applied to every other MMORPG.

    The lack of vechicles was really bad though image 

    I think a lot of the mainstream gamers expected SWG to be very starwarsy.  They probably should have made it like that, they would have gotten a lot better reviews from the start.  Well, I wouldnt have liked it nearly as much, but I guess I am one of those people who want to play as the '4th rebel from the left' or whatever.

    Well, I dunno.  I just wish they told us what they had planned for the Jedi system at release.  Their indecisiveness there really damaged things from the start.  The game really did need vechicles too, the lack of it really damaged the game.  The main thing that upset me about that video is the attacks on the entertainer profession...  I guess that was before DDR became popular in mainstream though image

    I have never agreed with anything either of these two have said.  The NGE actually got better reviews from them than pre-CU.  They have no credibility.

    That said, pre-CU was like a 100-story building with the first 50 stories complete, and only a wooden frame for the top 50 stories.  NGE?  The other way around.  The engine sucks.  The combat style sucks.  They destroyed crafting.  They destroyed socialization.  They destroyed your character's individuality.  And the best part, the part that makes me sleep so much better at night... is all of their changes have not brought the huge tidal wave of subscriptions they hoped it would.  As long as this game continues to fail day after day, and the devs are left to wallow in despair at the horrific Frankenstein they have wrought, I will continue to be happy.

    they did seem spot on for SWGs definition of NGEer Ill never get why people like quest and not terminals  least term will lead to a nest with many spawns and not one chump NPC
