If you don't like the game don't play it, so many people make comments on the game and they haven't played it yet.
Yet most of those that have played it say they liked it. I'm tired of reading people say they don't like this about the game and they don't like that about it. Stop following the game till one comes out that you like. "Doubt that will happen."
Then I would say to these people well make your own game then. "Not going to happen."
I have been following this game since roumors where coming out of Austin and people where grabbing stuff from biowares garbage. I have been waiting and watching and I'm quite pleased with this game and how it looks and plays.
Soon I will be enjoying this game with many others StarWars fans in Galaxy far far away from these negative fourms.
From all I've seen the Game is going to do well and have a very good fan base.
These are my positive opinons I hope other positive people reply.
Thanks Alex

Vintage TOR fanboy trying to do the impossible. Not everyone is going to like the game. And mostly everyone will criticize it in some way shape or form. This is an MMO site community. If you really think you wouldn't see criticizing, then you definitely don't belong on sites like these.
People don't have to play the game in order to criticize it. I don't think people realize how just seeing it is really valuable to an opinion. There are certain things you can tell by just seeing a game in action.
The best thing about this site is that if none of the people that gripe about this game dont play it, bioware will not miss them period. Maybe a 100 peole that post on this forum bash the game. Their monetary contribution will not be missed in the grand scheme of things.
Thats what forums are for, people to say their opinions good or bad and discuss stuff. I mean, if your going to say people should stop saying bad stuff until they play it, does that also mean people should stop saying good stuff as well?
And negative hype is good tbh, better than 100% positive then when the game comes out everybody's like ....wtf what a let down.(not to say that won't happen to some anyway.)
Really, if you don't want to see any negative comments on the game, why not just go to the games forums?
"Don't like it, don't play it" yeah right - well-conceived. And that's why you open a thread? To give your single oppinion that you don't give a damn of what other people think - and you obviously like SW:TOR (because it looks good...)?
Of course it is YOUR oppinion what you do like and what you do not like. It's your personal right to do so!
But YOU have to accept aswell that there are tons of people out there who DO NOT LIKE what YOU LIKE.
Same goes for me, same goes for every other individual person. Simple as that. Amen.
And the major issue why most people complain about SW:TOR is obviously that this game will lack of ideas. We saw it all. It's a singleplayer story-game wrapped into a conventional MMORPG.
Hey Ajax7! This site is comprised of alot of sandbox type game fans. They typically do not like theme park mmo's, especially ones that are in the same vein as the big gorilla. You should be open to the fact that not everyone, even those in a games specific forum will have only positive things to type.
I like what I see of the game overall, but would like to see more meaningful world pvp. I have little hope we will see that, but I still hold out for the possibility. The auto rez bot they showed at E3 has me concerned for world pvp as well. On the forums they came back and said they are looking into disabling it when you are killed by another player, which I hope they do. I am also a bit concerned about some of the 'cutesy' stuff they showed like Blizz (the jawa) and other things I noticed in the videos that reminds me of that gorilla some more.
Cheers!

hey Ajax7,
the best thing to do is just simply ignore all the QQers, yes it is their opinion but it is also yours basically bottom line is dont get upset over basically nothing that none of us can control on these forums anyway and to post what ever you have an opinion about something. All i know is after watching the stuff from E3 about SWTOR, I AM READY for whenever this game to come out and is very excited to be able to play it for when that time comes.
I'm tired of all the fanboism. Game does not differentiate itself enough from all the other MMOs I played for one week and quit, because I realized I've been doing it since winter of '04.
does Tor have an official forum site yet? Official forums still have negativity but is more on a constructive criticism nature.
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
a week isnt that just little to soon for a MMO but anyway thats your opinion, personally i gave rift couple months then decided im not going with it. STO im still playing it because i like it and i think it has potential, same with SWTOR. WoW on the other hand im only playing with the fiancee because i live with her and dont want to hear it LOL, no she enjoys it so there fore i will attempt to play a game she likes lol. But point is i wil give a game couple months before i make a decision wether to stay or not.

Opinion grounded in personal taste, fine IE: i don't like the artstyle
Opinion grounded in facts again fine IE: I don't like the cinematic approach
Opinoin ground in falsehood, is okay as long as they are willing to alter their opinion once facts come to light. IE: I don't like how you can't group with others in the personal story because you can't affect their story if your not grouped, (fyi you can group in personal stories but you can't affect their story). This doesn't mean they have to like it, just that their opinion reflects the new evidence. IE I don't like how i can't alter the others person's story, even when i'm in his group while we are doing it.
Stating your opinion as fact, very not okay IE: This game will fail because of the story approach.
Too many people fall into the last line and is generally just a person trying to lash out at a game *rolls eyes* in an attempt to cause hurt feelings (which always fails for me), sometimes its people just stating opinions as fact which can be hard to tell over the internet, it's why the acronym IMO was created short for in my opinoin, three little letters save so much hassle and arguments.
As long as your opinonts stays your opinoins grounded in facts or personal taste your fine, if you start to state opinions based on false hoods and refuse any new evidence that comes to light or start stating your opinion as if it's facts then you start to become a general nuisance of yourself.
personally myself i think the problem at least with the last one is at least one or more occasions is that people tend to forget that when you just say something without putting a in my opinion or i feel or something similar you are indeed stating a fact. IF a person puts I feel this game will not do well with a game being so story focused..Thats fine, thats an opinoin and i can see that.
Saying this game will do poorly because of a story focused approach is not an opinion but a statement trying to act like a fact based on an opinion..which currently has no evidence to back it up. So it's an assumption trying to be a fact.
Help me Bioware, you're my only hope.
Is ToR going to be good? Dude it's Bioware making a freaking star wars game, all signs point to awesome. -G4tv MMo report.
The things that are dislike are mindless haters and mindless fanboys, the first will trash the game whatever hapened, the other will defend it whatever hapened. Those guys don't even contribute to anykind of discussion they are like an enourmous noise on real subjects that just pass undetected because of them and their shallow controversy and rethoric.
"You like it, yes i don't like it, but you dislike, no i like" it kind of discussion is pretty low. As if the whole world was revolving about them and their little taste. They are a lot of interesting thing to talk about guys, and not everything is a question of personal taste as some seam to think. Some discussion theme do have facts, history, references, thechnical issues and all those things that don't revolve around your little taste or even mine. Try to create real discussion, or to lead shallow discussion in the right direction (the kind of think i usually fail so much), and you will probably be less tired too.
Haters will hate, and Fanbois will Fantasize.
Haters will always cry about what games are missing or isnt done as well as another game.
Fanbois will always hype the game beyond reasonable expectations, and will be left wanting more.
I think I will enjoy the game though, I'm not a star wars fan per se, but I like the IP and setting and I dont have any expectations beyond having another game to play made by a strong developer such as Bioware.

^This pretty much.
The unconstructive, unfounded kind of bashing stating opinion as fact can be annoying and it is real tempting to retaliate but all in all its better to shrug it off and laugh about it. The public here is the same as in most mmorpgs: a small amount of smart, wise or interesting people you really appreciate and start to care for and a mass of posters you'd rather not spend any time with because of the dribble that they tend to leak.
A dubious consolation: every to be launched game that creates a lot of buzz will have very distinct antagonists on mmorpg.com. If you were here before the Darkfall launch you'd know what I mean. That was the release of a (once) highly anticipated sandbox title but it got an amazing amount of hate just the same.
My brand new bloggity blog.
People debating and not liking video games, on a forum? MADNESS!
When did you start playing "old school" MMO's. World Of Warcraft?
I am huge Star Wars fan and am amazed at the quality of the trailers. I would watch a t.v. show with that quality of animation, action and voice work. George Lucas should hire them to make another show.
However, the gameplay is too generic and lacks innovation. It's the same tired themepark MMO with 'stylized' character models. This just isn't the game I was picturing when I heard Star Wars + Bioware + most expensive game ever made. Bioware keeps stating TOR is KOTOR 3-10...well that's probably what they should have made with online co-op.
And to the OP...if you want a forum that's 100% positive about at game you should create one and moderate it deleting all negative comments. Even the offical TOR forum isn't filled with thrilled fans happy with everything they see.
Here's what i posted in another thread yesterday. Even though i am a sandbox gameplay fan, it sums up this site pretty good and why TOR will always get bashed.
SWTOR for alot on this pro sandbox gameplay site is looked upon as the man, the establishment. Therefore, they are on the opposite side of that. so this game can and never will be done right for them. As a matter of fact no game will do unless it is a pure, open world, FFA pvp with corpse looting and being able to plant trees and flowers and change the world with dynamic events all the while sitting in there house that is in their guild city looking at themselves in a mirror that they repositioned themselves a hundred times over gleeming with excitment on how the graphics in the game is so life like and real, they can't tell the difference between real life and the game.
I think that sums up why they have a problem with TOR.
For me, i think TOR is gonna be a blast to play for a long time to come.
i agree with the op. people on this site seem to simply enjoy moaning and pulling games apart. what a bitter community. why cant people here cheer up a little?
If it's not EVE - MMORPG Fanboy game of choice... It will get slammed unfortunately =(
Best way to judge a community is a look at the "ratings" on the site. Unless you think EvE is best think on the planet ever, you probably won't find many people with similar tastes here =(
Still, it's a good source for new game releases and information on them.
That doesn't even make sense. According to the reviewers on this site, EVE is the 10th highest scored game. And according to players it's the 5th highest rated.
And yet EVE is 3rd in the world for paid subscribers. So you could argue the scores/ratings are under-represented.
Yeah I have to admit that game you described sounds AMAZING! But I'll be happy with TOR. TORs graphics are average, if you look at the 20 or so MMOs released in the past 5 years. TORs music and sound effects are above average.
TORs killer feature is the fully voiced and acted NPCs. They walk, talk, pick up things, have facial expressions, yawn, sit in chairs, kick their feet up on the table, laugh, cry, throw things across the room. NPCs that actually some depth to them. Like like OMG like an RPG. lmao I think having a believable NPCs, fully voiced NPCS, and a good complex story in an MMORPG will be a nice change. Cause uh I haven't seen it done before successfully.
yeah, the trailers look awesome lol
Meet me in Triboar, I have a special pearl vault to show you.
EVE and WoW dominate this site if you look at the popularity and forum hits they get. EQ2 and Rift manage to get up to the top sometimes. But it's a good laugh because EVE and WoW or are so popular and sooooooooo... similar? <.<
The only pet peeve I have is the people who try to speak for everyone. When someone says "we" dont want this feature or "nobody" likes this game or "our" preferred taste isnt being represented here, I usually just tune them out.
If your case isnt strong enough to be able to confidently speak for yourself, then its probably a case not worth bringing up.
