In general, I agree with you, but in this instance I can't quite do it. KOTOR 3 would just be a rehash of what they're already doing with Mass Effect and, quite frankly, if I'm going to go back into the Star Wars universe, I'd love for it to be as open as possible and as unique as possible. And Bioware's brilliant paradigm for RPGs attached to an MMO, especially an MMO in a universe I already love, sounds so excellent.
KvP:
I like Bioware, but I don't have that much faith in them. MMOs are inextricably bound to the grind formula, band-kill-loot, and generally that's what MMO players want. Anybody who tries to roleplay on a WoW server is going to get flamed. The MMO will only bear a slight resemblance to its forebears.
Most of the talk seems to be about the Mandalorian Wars (Pre-KOTOR I) but who knows. If it is set during the Mandalorian Wars, it'll break continuity with the KOTOR games as only a small number of jedi were said to have fought in that conflict. But then any Star Wars MMO is going to break continuity by having 99.9% of the galactic population being jedi or sith.
Storm Rider:
I should restate this, because I didn't really say what I wanted to. My distaste for the KOTOR MMO announcement isn't as much about wanting another KOTOR-style RPG, since we have Mass Effect for that. It is more that I just hate MMOs and would prefer Bioware make more awesome RPGs instead of that.
I have to say, even though the press conferences from the 3 console makers were pretty lame, the gameplay demos and trailers from E3 proved to me that this is going to be another kickass year for video games. Hell, even with the lack of bombshell announcements aside from the FFXIII on 360 thing, there's a lot of great looking stuff lined up for 2009 too, like RE5, Alpha Protocol, Mad World, and Bayonetta. Basically, presentations like this where everybody's great-looking games are in one place reinforce my belief that the standards of the video game medium have never been higher.

Best lulz had on Dead Rising for me was playing through it with the happy lego head on and watching the serious cutscenes with the static smiley face. Priceless.

--- Quote from: est on 17 Jul 2008, 19:30 ---Seriously. All I wanted from that game was to be able to run around and beat the shit out of zombies with gardening and sportsgoods. What I got was a mall inexplicably filling to the brim with (goddamn fucking) magically respawning zombies, items that break way too fucking quickly and an interior park area that is hard to run across safely because it's got a bunch of goons in so you're kind of stuck in some tiny little training-type area.
If they had at least made it so you could kill a bunch of zombies then fortify and lock down an area other than the one main "safe" area it would have been a bit more playable. If they had made the zombies not fucking respawn to quickly it would have been a bit more playable. If they hadn't put a bunch of goddamn goons in the middle area it would have been a bit more playable. If the controls weren't so goddamned wonky that I wound up missing half the shit I swung at then etc etc et-fucking-cetera.

Left 4 Dead is coming out soon (think Q3), and I think that's going to be the game to satisfy my hunger for living flesh zombie games.
Oh, and what you're describing? L4D + GMod. Which I think is totally doable.
