The 'snappy movement' garbage, the over the shoulder aiming targeting reticle and the click aiming thing are all crap. Nah, that game won't get any better.

I think it was in his blog, he wasn't as blatant as this time. It was along the lines of "sometimes when you have to do what the company you're contracted to wants you to do, however much you think it's a bad idea" at the time, it was undeniable that it was about the NGE. And anyone who's actually spoken to an SWG dev at the time would know SOE was hoping that Obiwan would improve numbers sufficiently that they wouldn't have to put the NGE live, obviously that didn't happen and it got pushed anyways.
And whilst they may not revamp the combat again, they are at least listening to the players now and adding back in everything they want. It's got some solid design decisions behind it now, but eh.. it's not half as good as the original
Besides.. the point is, it wasn't SOE's fault, least not entirely, so saying VG will suck because of the NGE is a bit stupid.
