It's this kind of stuff that makes me want to play EVE (tried a couple times, couldn't seem to get into it). Not because I'd do this kind of stuff, but just the fact that this kind of stuff is possible. I love the sheer openness of the game. Maybe I'll have to take a crack at it again soon.
This...might actually be awesome. It's been a while since I geeked out to some video game music. The last set I bought was Okami, which was also awesome.
I get kind of annoyed when people pull the whole "it's just like WoW" card. Of course there's going to be some similarities, it's the same genre. People still pay for games like CoD: Black Ops, even though the controls haven't really changed since the original (and have been adopted by other FPS titles as well).
It comes down to what makes the game unique. For me, I'm intrigued by the story of the game, as well as a few of the other mechanics in the game. Having a crew for your ship, for example, is something that is most definitely NOT in WoW, and I think is a cool idea.
I played WoW for many years and definitely plan on playing this title. I'm even doing a couple run-throughs of KotOR in anticipation.
