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.

Then why act surprised when you post a topic in the Xbox forum about how crap you think a much-loved game is? Wouldn't that be the normal response? What did you expect?

In other words he got rid of the game because he thought it was crap...

It isn't a matter of opinion as to why he got rid of it.... he got rid of it because he thought it was crap = fact.

No he is pointing out that their counter-argument was crap.

I love it when the counter-argument is crap.

As far as facts are concerned, it is neither good nor is it bad. It is a game.

All criticism is down to opinion based upon facts. And I believe the game to be crap. And my opinion IS fact for it is the factual reason I decided to get rid of my copy.

Yeah the Star Wars score is excellent. John Williams is brilliant.

What am I mis-reading?

The thing is, the game isn't rubbish as a fact, just an opinion. Edgy got people stirred up when he wrote it like that.
