Just sounds like the reviewer takes a too much of a white knight look upon the crassness of Duke and the way women are treated. All the other stuff just seems like he was really bad at FPS and complained that he's not that great by taking it out on the game. It's like he's not expecting that Duke was a rude, crude, 80's action film cliche.. expecting that Duke would change when majority of the people would be very pissed that if he did change. Frankly you're getting the game because you know what it is and you'll enjoy it no matter what.
Seen some the gameplay out there, I seen one live for about 40minutes. I tell you it's kinda like WoW, where you smash your hot keys in a certain order and move on. I know WoW didn't do it first, but it's the biggest MMO ever and more people are familiar with how it plays. Anyways, the thing that got be interested was how huge the world's are. Tatooine while you couldn't visit the entire planet you did get to see the major part of it, and man it's huge. I believe it's about size of North End, from what my eyes saw. Nothing hard proof how big it is, but it seemed pretty big. Dialog was great, all voiced over and multiple choices as we've grown use to in BioWare games. Apparently when you get a group together the dialog is rolled and who ever wins that roll speaks. Each player has multiple dialog choices. From what was said, you do get your own space craft. However I don't think there will be any space battles just yet. There's always a hope that there is. What I was hoping for was more KOTOR style of play (minus the pausing), however it may of been the player's fault. He was playing a Bounty Hunter and the spec he had he didn't know how to use. Another good thing that's might be interesting from what I saw was companions, and non-human companions at that. Level cap is 50, and no real way to level up by PVP, which sucks. After all what's the point of a war if you can't level up via killing other players? Death from what was seen is very interesting. Instead of force ghost walking or cloning, a medical bot comes in revives you then makes you invisible for a short period. This invisibility basically is like the ghosts in WoW but no more running to receive corpses.
The downside with connect is that you can't move on your own, you need a controller to move. Which really defeats the purpose of hands free. This year at E3 you'd think they would've had a solution to this. However all we saw was on the rail stuff and not very many good games for the Kinect despite their entire conference being about it.
