Say it all you like but the forum is a very small minority of the people who actually play the game you are part of that minority who do not like the game of course you deny that the critcs are bad in this case because you want to trash the game and a professional critic giving a none biased view is worth 10x more than a forum full of biased closed minded post.
Aww, so does this mean that the deal that we just made behind their backs that doesnt really exist but it does but to them it doesn't, doesn't actually exist now?

There's good and there's bad here. If you want to go over every post, take down every name, and correlate number of positively-minded posters with negatively-minded ones and then give your results, well - that would be acceptable in statistics class.

As for the validity of the forums, not everything can be taken at face value. Even just looking at yourself - you're someone who insists that he's only here because of a freebie gamecard and you can find nothing worthwhile to hang around for and you scorn the very idea of giving money to this game - yet you insist on your rights as a 'paying customer' being upheld. I don't think you're the kind of customer any business would value, and the disconnect in your thinking puts what you say in a shady light. So it is with a lot of things.
There is no try.

No it wouldn't. You'd be lucky if you didn't get failed for using a self-selected sample. You'd also need to establish that your sample size is statistically significant and somehow representative of the whole population.

BS! Show me where you got that info from. Here's the link from the reliable site. This game got 85 on average. Not pretty bad.

How about Rift? This game got 84 on average.. Hmm....

This. BioWare is getting exactly the amount of praise they deserve.

Lowest reveiw is 80 most reviews are 90% or higher several GOTY awards...over two million subs and Dr Ray says the subscription base is still growing...aside from a handful of forum Trolls I'm not seeing the issue.


No one hates Star Wars as much as "Star Wars fans"

Have to agree with this thread, sure the game has its problems, what game doesn't, and I'm sure in time they'll fix them all. I logged on today for the first time since launch and the first thing I noticed was how much better the game ran, it was a huge improvement.

I love Star Wars true but it is not going downhill far from it. It has bugs but you picky nitpickers are the problem not the game itself.

Even with the bugs I am having a great time. Been playing on a couple of servers and the two guilds I am in are active. Been playing everyday.
