New Old Republic gameplay vid for all us meatbags

There is no game on the horizon that I have more hope for than Star Wars: The Old Republic. I have long been looking for an MMO to take WoW’s place. That being said, this gameplay video, thanks to Kotaku, features too much “meh” with a little “awesome” as garnish.

It shows clips of a mission for the Sith forces, and we get to see the classes in action. The thing is that the action mostly involves standing around shooting things with blasters or lightning in a fairly bland fashion. As much as I love Star Wars, this is not something I would spend a lot of time on. I know it’s Bioware, and I know their track record is full of win. I just hope the focus on story doesn’t mean the gameplay gets dropped into the Sarlacc pit.

But the last few seconds may make the whole thing worth it. Scope it out below:
