After a worryingly dated hands-on with Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft's galactic open world feels less exciting than expected (www.eurogamer.net)

I heard the latest preview was on Tatooine and immediately soured to the point of curdling.

I cannot express this clearly enough: Fuck Tattooine.

We've seen it. It has been done. Its a desert planet with less character than Dune. We get it. Enough. Stop with the Tatooine already, we don't need anymore tattooine. I hate Tatooine so fucking much, I don't care how easy sandy rock is to render, tattooine can burn in a pit until you're ready to make another pod racing game.

Amen! For a backwater world seems that every important event originates from that dusty rock.

Star Wars will have 3 settings and 3 villains and you are going to like it.

It's because star wars cannot exist without rehashing the same old member berries. It always boils down to empire/Jedi/force.

It was never intended as more than a setting for a fun space adventure. Now that Disney opened the floodgates on Star Wars shit that became painfully obvious again.

Idk the EU has some good shit in it. The Bane trilogy especially imo.

Maybe their plan all along was to turn us into Anakin?

Now we all hate sand.

until you're ready to make another pod racing game.

Wouldn't that be nice... But then again, it would be by a garbage publisher that I boycott anyway.
