Feedback should be more like the OP's I can't say that I agree with it but he makes his points without throwing jabs at the game or over exaggerations.

Bioware can use more positive or negative feedback like this.
I've got a bad feeling about this forum.

I think you need to learn what a review is:

(from Wiki) A review is an evaluation of a publication, a product or a service, such as a movie (a movie review), video game, musical composition (music review of a composition or recording), book (book review); a piece of hardware like a car, home appliance, or computer; or an event or performance, such as a live music concert, a play, musical theater show or dance show. In addition to a critical evaluation, the review's author may assign the work a rating to indicate its relative merit

So basically it's his evaluation of the game, nothing more, nothing less.

That is exactly right. The guy you quote is trying to make an intelligent bashing of his opinions on the game, wrapped up in 'fancy talk' that only 10% of the people here will understand. The other 90% that agree only because they don't understand what he's saying. He's a level 50 Troll.

While this may be true for Star Warians? Is there a Star Wars equivalent of Trekkie? It isn't true for me. I Saw all of the orignal movies when then were released, and yes I'm that old. I'm really enjoying the story driven quests and the PvP. I liked the Star Wars movies, but I've never read a Star Wars book so I'm probably a bit less "picky" when it comes to Start Wars lore specifics.

I play a games for entertainment and I'm finding SWTOR very entertaining at the moment.

Not only do you provide bullet points on everything I, myself would also point out as serious flaws but you give REASONS for them as well. Reasons that only the most ignorant and die-hard fanboy could deny.

So kudos to you sir / madam for saying what so many of us wish we had the eloquence to say.
I guess what I don't understand is why on Coruscant would anyone who is currently playing the game care in the least why some one else is NOT playing?

If you agree with the OP, does it give you moral support that you're not alone?

If you disagree with the OP, why get your dander up if you enjoy the game?

I think he raises some good points about the storyline/lore though.

The storylines do kind of play out like a weird mary sue type story.

Also I totally disagree with what they did with Revan and the Outcast. What a weird direction for them to take on these characters.

This guy says AA is not working... That's a huge drop in credibility.

I was at the movies when they came out as well, Maybe my expectations of the "story" was to much? I guess when BW touted it all this time they meant just the voices where good and not really the story itself.....what a shame

lol Tinfoil hat. You snowflakes have to stick together because you're the minority in the game.

I will say this to the OP! While I can certainly see where you are coming from based on how you analyzed the story, I don't agree with a lot of your points.

It is your opinion though, and it served to help understand your point of view. I'm not sure I got the same impression that you did though from the JK story.

The option for the AA it said the same thing for me "not implemented" does that mean working to you?
