Didn't you read my post? The guy is no average joe. He rushed to level cap. He knew what to do beforehand. He knew where to go beforehand. He had a friend helping him all the way. He skipped EVERY SINGLE VOICE OVER IN THE GAME. Your average joe does not skip every single voice over in the game. Your average joe does not come into a game knowing which skill rotation works best, which gear layout is most effective, which companion will suit their needs, which specialization will work best, etc. Admit it, you are distorting pieces of information to suit your trolling needs.

I do not require specifics, because I am not in a position where I care what you think. If you can not come to terms with reality there is not amount of "evidence" i can show you to make you understand. You will just wiggle your way through and around any point i try to make. I refuse to go on the defensive and build up an air tight legal document for some random guy on a forum. If you do not wish to do research yourself, i couldnt care less that you march yourself down the road of ignorance.
Yes, you do require specifics. Every time you make an argument, you back it up with credible sources and not some ambiguous analogy. If you don't care what I think, then you shouldn't have even responded to my post.
Show me this rule that says I need to provide you with specifics? If you want the information go find it. If you don't care to look, oh well. I have read the information on both sides, I have played the game, I have watched videos, talked to friends in early access, talked to people who bought it at launch, read multiple forums, I have played and own all of Biowares other games, I came to this discussion prepared and demand nothing of others except logic and the ability to produce abstract thought.
Swtor deserves nothing. It gets what it earns. If it earns bad reviews then it deserves them. Calling the people who give the reviews biased or wrong means nothing. The fact that so many have taken the time to list complaints, many of them going into detail, many not, shows you there is something fundamentally wrong with the game.
I didn't call out anyone out for doing a bad review. The fact that many have received the game extremely well shows you that there is something fundamentally right.
More negative reviews than positive, if you decide to pick and choose which opinions you consider valid, more power to you. Just because someone gets paid to give a review doesnt make their opinion better. They are still a person and just as biased as everyone else. If the reviewer is a part of a gaming website, im sorry to tell you this but they are more likely to give positive reviews even if a game sucks. Why you ask? Because their site gets paid by advertisements and if they bash all the crappy games, they would have no one left to fund them. Money speaks louder than truth.
It is a god damn star wars mmo. The largest video game publisher in the world (EA) backed it, one of the most flaunted RPG developers in the world (Bioware) created it, and the IP is again, god damn star wars, one of the most recognized IPs in the world. If these three things were not enough to get a fun and finished product out the door, they deserve poor reviews.
Whether it is fun or not is entirely subjective. I, as well as many others, believe this game to live up to its IP.
Prove to me that others like this game. According to your own flawed logic you have to provide proof of everything you say. No proof, then your point is invalid. Hi gander my name is goose.
Not even the community on the WoW forums wanted it to fail, it was probably the only time I have seen WoW players support an upstart and hope for the best. Everyone wanted to see this game become something, the market needs it, but they dropped the ball and just slapped STAR WARS on it.
Innovation for the sake of innovation is unnecessary. If the fundamental mechanics work fine and keep the majority happy, there is no reason to change it. What matters is if its well-made and entertaining. I would like to add that the story mechanics BioWare introduced to the MMORPG genre are extremely innovative.
Subjective opinion, no facts. Invalid.
Go check reviews at multiple sources, discount any that give 100% or 0% as their score (clearly biased, a game would have to be utterly flawless for 100% or not even load to get a 0%) and you will see a majority give bad reviews.
I take user reviews with a grain of salt. As I have stated before, there are multiple reviews that are absolutely positive about the game. What I will tell you is this. Wait for the market's reception (meaning numbers) to it and come back to your doom-filled predictions.
See above. I do not predict doom. I can see the writing on the wall. It will not be the success players hoped it would be. It will sell many boxes but it will not retain many subs.
I respond not for your sake, but to provide counter points to oblivious acceptance. You as an individual are not important to my position, just the uninformed ideas you represent.
Neither is it a place for you if you can't read what they are typing and instead choose to put your own words into their mouth.

if this is true i feel for TOR cause theres not much else for them to do, leveling to cap only takes about 60 hours game time.
You completely distort certain pieces of information to suit your liking. The person that got to level cap in 60 hours in-game only did so because he skipped all VO's, did nothing but quests, knew where the quests were, how to do them, the order in which to do them, had tremendous amounts of experience with his class, and had a friend helping him out.
And it took 60 hours game time, so whats your point. It will take the average joe 60 hours game time to hit cap.
I think theres alot more *spacebar* going on then you think...
I think his point is that you're taking an extreme case, and portraying it as the average/typical case.
I consider myself an average Joe... and no way I'm getting to 50 in 60 hours. That's just crazy talk.

However, I’ve seen a few shocking user reviews today that claim there is no end game…… at all. That’s not to say a crappy end game like a few flashpoints and 1 raid but literally no end game what so ever.
Plain and simple...those people are morons. The game is releasing with more endgame content than any themepark MMO has been released with in years.

It's called a "rational discussion". If YOU can't back up what YOU say, I couldn't give a damn about your argument. Read this, it may help:

HAHAHA this is RICH. I could spend all day providing you with examples that others like this game. Check Elikal, Dexter, Spock, Taugrim, Dark Pony, etc. How about feedback from professionals: Check MMORPG.com, Massively.com, IGN.com
Subjective opinion, no facts. Invalid.
There are people that value innovation over fun, good for them. I don't think that's the case with the vast majority of the market though, do you? World of Warcraft's millions tell you anything? And how is BioWare's story being an innovation an invalid point?

I'm not just taking about cutscenes either. There are a lot of other fun things to do on your way to cap.
People think that because some people skip everything, it's not there.
Also, 15 people doesn't really qualify as a good sample. Especially if those 15 people are actually from the same group.
My guild has more people than that and they aren't skipping cutscenes, does that mean Boone does it? Absolutely not.
