Not worth all the money I spent on it

OMG, becky...this game is SOOOOOO not worth all the money I spent on it. I paid $100.00 for the collector's edition. I was told I would get a TIE fighter capable of reaching orbital altitude on its own. I figured "so what, they messed up on the time line"
I was also told I would get a working game set in the Star Wars universe that was not a single player game. Boy, was I wrong. When I purchased this game, brought it home from the store where I bought it, peeled off the wrapper, and stuck the DVD in, all I got looked like Baldur's Gate In Space (TM).
Plus the servers were down for 17 minutes after I got home from purchasing this in the store. NOT FUNNY, BIOWARE! Especially not when I camped out at the local gaming store for three days in an Ewok outfit. You ever camp out at a gaming store for three days in July? And then find the dang servers are down when you get home? FOR LIKE SEVENTEEN MINUTES?
Plus not only that, but I was so mad after buying the game that it didn't play exactly like SWG, EVE, and WOW that I shredded my Ewok costume. I'm going to be cold all winter because those bastiges at Bioware released the game early.
All in all, the release of this game was absolutely horrid. I was so disappointed after this game that I was too bummed to try getting my money back.

Oh, I get it... I think?
Poking fun at all the folks who are let down by a game they haven't even bought yet.
They should go pay for STO, that will really give them something to talk about.

Sarcasm only works when you can tell that its sarcasm.
The entire time i was reading I was thinking "my god this person is retarded". Now that I'm finished reading I'm thinking "my god this person is retarded".
Thank you for wasting 10 seconds of my life.

Funny, that....it's what I think when I read most of the user-written posts in this forum:)

Although the OP examples are a little extreme to indicate sarcasm, I do appreciate the sentiment.
Its certainly strange how people feel comformtable to jump to wild conclusions and make gross assumptions based on little factual evidence.
They come out with such crap as:
"Omg, its a soooo a wow clone cos it uses a friendly UI, has a quest system, mounts, stylised graphics, levels etc" - Wrong. Just because it has those elements, doesn't mean its a clone. It just means that it's perhaps a product that may be seen by many as of acceptable quality. And even though we cannot be sure of that yet, that doesn't mean we should be negative. We just need to be mindful of the possibility.
"Where's my SWG 2.0!!!" - Who said it was going to be sandbox, or SWG mark 2.0?
"I want Kotor 3" - This is it. Kotor 3 - 10 with online play.
"Themepark games are so linear!" - Maybe in the past they have been, but they don't have to be. You can have a themepark game with sandbox elements and vice versa.
"Bioware made Kotor2 and that was crap!!!" - Wrong, they didn't make Kotor 2. Obsidian made Kotor 2, based on Bioware's recommendation to LA because Bioware was busy with a different project. However Kotor 2 did use the Kotor 1 engine. Bioware made Kotor 1 though, which in my opinion was far superior in story line to Kotor 2.

OMG! The servers keep going down every 10th minute... whats happening!? Anyone?!
You have a life?
Let's beat this same dead horse over and over.... hey, and while you're at it... why don't you pretend to be intelligent and witty. That will surely make you the awesome sauce!
Methinks Bioware is run by a bunch of damn cylons. If I had known that before I purchased the game, I wouldn't have been so disappointed!
RELAX!@!! BREATHE!!!
I'm'a'gonna beat this horse until *I* decide it's dead, I've buried it, and I'm 100% certain it's not going to come back as a zombie horse to get me!
RELAX!@!! BREATHE!!!
Lucky you. Look on the bright side, it took me 30 seconds to read it.
This is a picture of me without my Ewok costume. How did you get it!!!!
RELAX!@!! BREATHE!!!
Sarcasm.
Priceless.
I disagree. Sarcasm is at its best when there's people who don't get the sarcasm, that's the whole purpose of irony and sarcasm,
This post makes my head hurt just reading it. Ewoks, swg, lost money and time oh my...follow the yellow brick road! yehaw! Follow follow follow follow, folllloowww
original post = /meh. sarcasm is clear, but so is veiled faboism/trolling in regard to certain features. you get bonus points for the Sir Mix-a-Lot reference though - i LOL'd
the dude that didn't get that a post responding to the release of a game that's not scheduled to be released for another year is sarcastic / not serious is .. uhm... well.. i don't have have a word for it, but i'm sure you get it... well maybe HE doesn't get it, but the rest of you do.
happy trails .. or (in the style of the OP) .. Enjoy riding your bantha from planet to planet!

You gotta love how not hating a game automatically makes you a fanboi now.
people are upset because it's nothing like Bioware said it would be like. the group quest video at E3 was pathetic, it looked like any other MMO grouping. i was laughing when i watched that vid because i could just picture all the people that were thinking "WTF?!!? where's my no trinity grouping!?!??". it's even funnier how some people believe it was all set up that way because the Consular was the camera man. riiiiiight.....because there's no way Bioware could have put a fifth person in there to be the camera man so the Consular could do his job...
I'm still trying to find any quote any place where Bioware stated they weren't using the "Holy Trinity".Please enlighten me and post links to such a statement.
The closest I've found is this :
"IGN: A lot of people wanted to know about the healing system. Will The Old Republic use a trinity system; the tank, healer, and the DPS class. Will the healer play a massive role, or will groups be able to go with no healing?
Dallas Dickinson: We want to make sure that we have many, many MMO roles filled there, but it's really important to us that players are able to actually play their experience either as a group or as a solo. So there are a number of ways that healing comes into the game. Several of our classes have healing branches that they can follow that will have some specific healing powers, but we don't want to make it a requirement for the base core game. That said, you're obviously going to be better off, especially when you get into higher-level stuff and into PvP, if you have healers on your side.
Jake Neri: I think we have a unique sort of twist on how healing works. I don't think we're speaking in total detail about it, but I think the people will be excited for it, and it's definitely a unique function of our game."
Nowhere does it say no Holy Trinity and he last part is very vague and cryptic.
Also if they had put a 5th perosn in so the Consular coudl play freely and nto act liek a camera....you'd all be whining about the 5th person acting as a camera and criticizing that class etc.
Now this game may turn otu to be utter crap,it may turn out fantastic...probably it'll fall somewhere inbetween.But the OP's sarcasm is jsutly directed at peopel making insane judgements with very little information and no actual expereince.
I thought the same thing after reading YOUR post, odd.
It was OBVIOUS sarcasm, sorry that flew over your head.
There are two kinds of people in this world. People who pick their nose.. and liars.
You gotta love how I used both "fanboism" and "trolling", yet you completely ignored one of them (as well as the meaning of the sentence) in order to support the position you decided to take versus my post.
Also, I don't hate this game and don't consider myself a fanboi, so I'd not equate the two.
p.s. by "ignored the meaning of the sentence" i meant that the fact that both trolling and fanboism in this case referred - very clearly - to certain game features as opposed to any particular game.
