"Don't cry, just because it won an award, it is still crap."

By stating my opinions of a game, and the reason I got rid of it, I have caused some people to come up with the crappest responses ever from a small minority (as expected) who think they can change my opinion after I have given the game a lot more than a fair trial.

This game is KOTOR, the topic, http://ukchatforums.reserve.co.uk /display_messages.php?threadid=90199&forumid=130 and the rest is self explanatory.

I didn't go into detail about all the things I hate about the game, though I think looking back, I should have. I just merely stated my opinion on the game and that I'm trading it in.

Apparently, I should take it all back, get my copy back and love the game purely because some critic gave it an award! WHOO!

If any of you do go there and post your opinion on it all, I don't want an anti-Xbox attack. I am pro X-box almost as much as I am GameCube - I just know utter toss when I've played it.

That made me laugh out loud then :D

Oh yes as I can see from the vast amount of agressive responses... he has so failed.

Stop with the Boosh Checkmating!

Every time it dents my fragile pride...

People always claim they don't care anymore when they know they're wrong.

Boosh + ! + Checkmate + ! = Boosh! Checkmate!

But really, why has this become such a big deal?

Probably because of me and my inquisitive mind. Does anyone really care any more?

Not me :D

That's what threw me.

You're saying your opinion (that the game is crap) is fact, because you got rid of it. "The game is crap, because I got rid of my copy"

You misunderstand.

The fact is I got rid of the game for the reason that my opinion is that the game is crap.

It is not opinion that I got rid of the game, but opinion is the reason I got rid of it. The fact it won an award doesn't change that.

You can't have it all Edgy;

Your point: The game is crap, for the factual reason that I have gotten rid of my copy.

Someone else's point: The game isn't crap, for the factual reason that it has won an award.

Which is more valid? Neither. They're both opinion backed up by fact. I just found it a little contradictory when you started an opinion saying that this reply was laughable - when it's the same structure as the idea you're promoting.

Thus, I called you a prat ;D

Pretty much what I meant.

If you don't like games like Baldur's Gate etc, you won't like KOTOR. The stop|start battle system is stunning once mastered, but if you're one for fluidity, it'll only ever irritate you.

Many people had the sam hurdle, albeit to a different degree, with the Final Fantasy combat system.

Which is fair enough.

I agree it is either an aqquired taste or for those who specifically enjoy that kind of game.
