[spartanses]

[MupNaz]

@spartanses wtf lol wtf.

[AgroLargo]

@spartanses Different classes, derp.

[maxulic]

@AgroLargo Same 4 classes. Just another session and a last one with players from fansites.

[AgroLargo]

@maxulic No, it's not the same classes.

All are advanced classes.

[badstormtroopa]

Lol, sombody yelled "Free Bird."

[TnalX22]

Sado looking as creepy as ever

[maxulic]

Got to admit that they still have a lot of work to do. I'm not sure why they continue to show these buggy performances, the huge droid freezing in the air, NPCs suddenly warping into a spot. It sure looks fun but so unpolished (especially - once again - for something used to show off).

[Folczo]

@maxulic i think its the video not the actual game!

[maxulic]

@Folczo It's not the video but the game, it's obvious at 3:38 for instance, notice that the cursor is still moving over the avatars on the left (Consular targeting group mates and healing) yet the huge droid is frozen in the air for 2 seconds. There are also plenty of examples where you can see NPCs instantly warping somewhere...

[Folczo]

@maxulic incase you have not noticed this game is what? 8months till relase? and personaly i dont care if there would be things like that allover the game (which they wont be) i and many a milion other people are with me on that so stop complaning.

[maxulic]

@Folczo It's fun as I just received a 1 day suspension on the official forums for picking on a troll that kept bashing the game and BW. See, you can be a fanboi (I am one) and still have concerns. My concern is not that 8 months before release there are still flaws, my concern is that when you show off gameplay at a convention, it has to be as polished as possible. And these bugs are unforgiving for those discovering the game, what are they going to think about it? It's bad publicity, period.

[SongSephen]

@maxulic nitpicking

You really think BW wasn't aware of these things after wards? No offense, but you are exhibiting a little bit of unwarranted self importance. 

[AgroLargo]

@SongSephen Plus, Bioware came out with an interview (you can find it on Torocast) saying this is actually an older build. The current build is much farther along than what we've seen.

[maxulic]

@AgroLargo & SongSephen So the question remains: why show off an older buit at a convention? I am sorry but this is *very* far from nitpicking. When you show off something at a convention, you want to make sure that what you exhibit is as polished as possible. That's called advertising for dummies.

[AgroLargo]

@maxulic Surprise for how different it will look? I don't know. I'm not Bioware. Ask them.

[bibihest]

I love to see producers and stuff in this "human" form, laughing, having fun and joking around. Really makes everything look much more fun and exciting, than looking at some business guy

[woodsider]

woooo, torocast !!!!!

[louddistort]

that jedi isnt doing jack shit except running around like a moron with a bee hive in his ass

[Stantzs]

@louddistort yes, it's incredibly true to the prequel movies. 

[Macsimus007]

Thanx for putting this up, but man this was kinda painful to watch. I'm sure it alot more fun to play than to watch, but that looked soo bad. The JK was standing around for a long time just staring at an enemy. He was also performing moves on empty space as the enemy had already fallen. I know bugs need to be worked out, but that was a fugly demo.
