I don't think one is better then the other really per se, but there are certain things each does well. On the face of it though I do agree with the commentary. Martin introduced way too many characters too late in the story for us to really care about. Quentyn Martell? Extremely annoying, arrogant, man child. Euron Greyjoy? Insane psychopath. Of course some of those things caused the show to have its own issues, like the aforementioned 'Dornish Master Plan' while was less elaborate in the show, it did have to rely on a lot of characters that the show hadn't even introduced. So extinguish the entire family through one of the worst plot lines on the show. the book version wasn't much better.

So Johnson will be creating a new series of SW films, Benioff and co will be doing likewise, there's a new tv series in the works, a cartoon series, Episode 9, games, books, comics ... Disney really are looking to make this a franchise like Marvel xD

I tried to do just that, but especially after finishing one class story, going through the grind of the various planets became even more of a chore. And in the end, the class stories themselves are really thin, so even if you could somehow skip the rest of the content (the MMO crap), it wouldn't make for a very good SP game analogue. I played the Class stories of the Jedi-Consular, the Inquisitor, and started a few more before I gave up on the game altogether, I do remember the Inquisitor's story rather fondly, but that doesn't change the fact that having to stomach the MMO'ness of the game was something I did very grudgingly, and not something I'm likely to do again any time soon. Precisely. It's a game that was designed around the grind only a WoW clone can give you. Take that away and the story, while good, is a little barebones from a gameplay perspective. That being said you are getting eight good SP stories for the price of one (assuming you paid SP prices only and didn't get tied to the hamster wheel of subs) so it's a bit of quantity making up for quality after all. Anyway, I've found some joy in healing flashpoints (4-man dungeon type stuff), so I am treating it as SP plus some decent MP on the side. If you give a shit for going back I'd highly recommend the agent story and the knight. 90% of the MMO grind is removed, though you also have to deal with the f2p gimping. You know SW is in trouble when the SW thread is talking about GoT not long after the release of a movie... lol I'm happy talking about the MMO, even though it has its own thread. There's only so many ways I can say "Disney sucks" so any departure from that is welcome. But yeah those trailers still make me wish for a full GCI movie set in the Old Republic era. We need more animation that looks awesome and not cartoony, with realistic graphics and proportions, and CGI complainers can STFU about the overuse of CGI because it's all fucking CGI. Plus, if they had gone the animation route, they still could've done adaptations like the Thrawn trilogy with the original cast as it'd be just their voices and no one would give a shit about age or looks.
