<a href="http://www.swtor.com"><em>The Old Republic</em></a>'s latest <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/12/12/first-star-wars-the-old-republic-video-offering-is-a-documentar/">video footage</a> had some people <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/12/12/picking-apart-the-first-star-wars-the-old-republic-video-piece/">drooling over</a> the release of the highly anticipated BioWare title, but others, like Tycho from <a href="http://www.penny-arcade.com">Penny Arcade</a>, <a href="http://www.penny-arcade.com/2008/12/17/once-more-unto-breach/">weren't too impressed</a> during the latest trailer.<br /><br />Tycho's comments, while negative, can ring truthful to those who have been following <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/star-wars-the-old-republic"><em>SWTOR</em></a> since the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/10/21/star-wars-mmo-announced-as-the-old-republic/">great announcement</a> back in October. It seems that we keep hearing about this great "story pillar" of the game and how most MMOs don't contain an intense storyline, but veterans of <a href="http://ac.turbine.com/"><em>Asheron's Call</em></a>'s monthly updates or <a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/wrath"><em>Wrath of the Lich King</em></a>'s new emphasis on story will certainly recall that some games have already put story in as their main pillar.<br /><br />Of course, Tycho also brings up the fact that it's odd for someone with an <a href="http://www.ratemyeverything.net/image/1471/0/Lightsaber.ashx">infinitely sharp laser beam sword</a> to slash at the same monster multiple times, but we think you get the idea. Check out all of <a href="http://www.penny-arcade.com/2008/12/17/once-more-unto-breach/">Tycho's comments</a> in his Penny Arcade blog post and make your own decisions on what you think of the first gameplay footage.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/12/18/penny-arcade-comments-on-old-republic-footage/">Penny Arcade comments on Old Republic footage</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 18 Dec 2008 13:00:00 EST.
