You know it would be cool if I hadn’t seen every James Cameron film and played Mass Effect 1, 2 & 3 like a gillion times.
There’s something about it that just smells of “copy cat”. I can’t quite put my finger on it but it’s like someone said “gee if we could put mass effect in the star wars universe, wouldn’t that be cool?” Or, “what if we did Blade Runner in the star wars universe?” Or, “what if we made star wars more ‘gritty’?” – Can you say “trendy” boys & girls?
So, I’m just not feeling it because it lacks that originality, that je ne sais quoi, that makes a game genuinely cool.

Oh man, I hear ya. I’ve been worried ever since I read that the creators intended to show us the “grittier, darker side” of Star Wars. Sure, the game LOOKS amazing, but will it actually be a fun game? I dunno, Force Unleashed looked beautiful too and look what we got there…
