    Lot of respect for Total Biscuit. They guy asks question point blank to devs that are not intended to provoke the typical canned slogans.

    I wish TB would make transcripts, but I guess that would be bad business. I hate listening to stuff. *grumble while putting headphones on*
    Why am I back here, I don't even play these games anymore

    The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.

    Yeah. A number of questions were not the ideal softball most "interviewers" do.

    good interview nonetheless
    If it effects PvE it will be looked at, they said this in the interview. Bioware seem pretty quick when it comes to fixing things, unlike some other company beginning with B

    Is this someone important or another internet hero for MMOC people?

    He runs a business and uses media monitoring. Sounds appropriate.

    Judging by his recent videos, he seems more inclined toward Guild Wars 2.

    I used to like TB but then I realised his fame wasn't justified at all. He's actually a terrible gamer (even wow..) and his opinions of things are just way off. For instance, I remember him saying something like assassins were only good for being an off-tank.. for instance. He's definitely smart though, who else makes thousands of pounds by sucking at starcraft 2 (not sure if he still does, but he was definitely terrible last I checked).

    I usually don't "hate" on people at all but there's something about his arrogance, along with the points above, that annoy me.

    Does he even play swtor for that matter? I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't.

    He's definitely got the portfolio to refute that, having participated in and won various gaming tournaments/competitions. I think he only plays SWTOR for coverage purposes - it's kind of a big deal right now, so it would make sense to get some hands-on with it. Plus, in the case of Starcraft especially, you have to realize that even just "getting there" requires high above average skill. This is a guy who rubs elbows with the likes of HuK, and definitely someone to be taken seriously, especially when it comes to opinion.

    Besides, I thought it was fairly obvious to everyone right now that Powertechs are far and away the best tank you can get if anything because they're ranged. Juggernauts certainly aren't in a good place, that's for damn sure. Being "functional" is not the same thing as being "viable."

    So he's a terrible gamer because, what? Has he not cleared the content you feel he has to? His lack of WoW prowess should be obvious, if you're not completely oblivious. It's gone downhill in the past few years and hit a plateau. He's expressed his feelings, his opinions on the matter, several times over. Secondly, how are his opinions way off? That's what they are, opinions. A subjective viewpoint based on an individual and their personal beliefs. You wouldn't be so dimwitted as to try judging them like he says they're facts, would you? Things he says are fact, are pretty much fact. Based on evidence he provides literally within the videos of the subject he's drawn into question. God forbid he make an inaccurate assumption, though I'm sure you enjoy picking any you can find apart just to be a douche. You're also correct, he is a smart man both in general and in a business sense. Since this is his job that he does to earn a living, it's only proper that he does what's in his best interest. Lastly, he's not very arrogant, he's real. He calls bullshit like he sees it and given that he provides evidence to support his claims and views, he's damn fine at what he does.

    He's been playing SWTOR since Beta, where he played an Imperial Agent and showed off various aspects of the game, and has recently been playing a Bounty Hunter, which he's also alluded to in a few of his videos. Your reasons for "hating" him are shoddy at best and ridiculously moronic at worst.

    Warning - Don't call names, I can see that you are trying to make your point but don't do it by calling other's moronic or dimwitted even if it's indirect. ~Rag

    My opinion of the his videos are as follows:

    I do not hate him nor do I youtube diss him which seems the cool thing to do. (don't even have a youtube account)

    However, I do not feel he is 'the most honest reviewer' out there. He tends to point out the obvious that has been stated in other reviews but then goes on about small mundane things the general player gives not one or two but three shits about.

    After reading Total biscuits own statement on this video over at reddit and watching it, I have to agree with him that they are pointless to do with the PR leash involved

    @ Mlyrrh.

    There wasn't really any need to call me "dimwitted" a "douche" or "moronic" was there? You're typing as if I just blasphemed against your God or something - it's really sad. It's also ironic that you're calling me out on my opinion of his opinions... Anyway, I'm not into the whole arguing over the internet but I felt the need to reply.

    hes not the best gamer, no. but thats probably more because he plays so many different games, he cant devote much time to one and become good at it

    I think this'll probably be our last Bioware interview. As much as I like the company and enjoy the game, we can't really provide any value if we can't get any straight answers out of them. We tried our best

    TB even critized swtor alot and said he would play guild wars 2 no matter what. He just knows he can make more money doing coverages about swtor even though he doesnt give a s... about it.

    It's was an alright interview. At least we got on the record they are aware of many issues currently plaguing the game. As for revealing solutions or leaking info I really didn't expect that. Anything they leak ahead of time will just get shit on by the internet community at large. Loose lips sink ships.

    Whatever haters he may deal with, I have very high respect for the guy. He's very smart and his points may come across as being a jerk, but really, whoever takes the time to listen to what he has to say, will build respect for him. I've listened to the guy for about 3 years from Blue Plz to his videos.

    If people hate, dislike, despise, or otherwise don't like TB, it's because that's what he was after when he created his self-proclaimed "shock jock" persona. He fanned those flames on purpose on the WoW forums as well as elsewhere for years, so any negativity he gets from people shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, least of all to him.

    Reap what you sow, I guess.
