RaistlinDaWiz Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Something that really really really bugs me about this forums (even more than the trolls claiming this is a "singe player game with co-op mode and not an mmo") is the need for alot of people to constantly remind people "THATS YOUR OPINION", or "HEY, YOU SHOULD HAVE STATED THATS YOUR OPINION, NOT FACTS!". Well I got a newsflash for you guys: Usually when someone offers an opinion on an entirely subjective matter that person actually represents (hold the phone now) his own very biased views. Thats why you can debate him/her with your own very biased views. What you dont need is to go completely bananas pointing out "thats just an opinion!!!". Everybody already knows that so calm down Captain Obvious, take a deep breadth and respond accordingly with your opinions, or if you so prefer, chew it up. PS! This is not an actual factual statement, but an enirely subjective representation of my own very much biased and highly personal opinions.

I was afraid I might have to ask you to.
JCommando Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Well of course it's gonna be my opinion.. its coming out of my mouth isn't? People need to stop complaining so much. "This chair is blue." "WELL THATS UR OPINION ITS CLEARLY CYAN!"
djsmileey Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I almost responded with a troll's response. "you do know thats just your opinion right?
Kabjat Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I find myself feeling oddly ambivalent regarding your remarks.

Pink_Saber Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I have to admit this bugs the living hell out of me, too. "Everything you said is just your opinion!" Like that invalidates any of it, ever. Of course it's opinion. Duh.
Darkhosis Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I love the game and still think it's KOTOR 3 with co-op. Not sure what's so bad about that... The majority of the game is a solo story driven experience with optional grouping.
tmpearson Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 This is a single player game with co-op mode and not an MMO.
pursang Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) I have to admit this bugs the living hell out of me, too. "Everything you said is just your opinion!" Like that invalidates any of it, ever. Of course it's opinion. Duh. The problem is is that many posters on this forum treat their opinions as fact. So they need to be reminded that it is indeed opinion. Edited February 9, 2012 by pursang

"WELL THATS UR OPINION ITS CLEARLY CYAN!" That chair depresses me because of its overt blue-ness, therefore I cannot continue to sit in it. Whether it's cyan or blue is irrelevant. I feel like its cool, nondescript and bland hue add nothing of merit for how horribly uncomfortable it is. It's a pain in my ***.
badseed Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 opinions are like onions.. or is that ogres...
Bazouk Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 This is a single player game with co-op mode and not an MMO. funny, cuz at level 50 there isn't jack **** for a solo player to do.

This is not an actual factual statement, but an enirely subjective representation of my own very much biased and highly personal opinions. Here's the problem. All too often, you have people coming in here stating things as an absolute. By it's very definition, an opinion cannot define an absolute. If someone comes in and says "I don't like SWTOR because it does not have flying monkey mounts", that is their opinion but it is also a fact. SWTOR does not, indeed, have flying monkey mounts. There's no way to tell this person his opinion is "wrong". If , however, as is too often the case, someone comes in and says "SWTOR is going to fail because it does not have sandbox features and that makes it suck", they are linking their opinion (not having sandbox features makes the game bad) to an assumption and declaration of fact (game will fail). People who wish to voice their displeasure or their approval of the game are always going to be stating opinions, and anyone who dismisses someone based on that alone is just a troll. You may think the game sucks because it doesn't have gnomes. IF that's your issue, I can't dismiss it as not being an issue for you. But don't try to take an issue that you have a problem with and conflate it into some kind of game-spanning lack that only a nimrod would not have addressed. Also bad; trying to prove an argument with opinions. Also bad; whatever the heck "opinonions" are. Are they very spice opinions?
Pink_Saber Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 The problem is is that many posters on this forum treat their opinions as fact. So they need to be reminded that it is indeed opinion. This bugs me almost as much, to be honest. Every time I've ever seem someone try to helpfully point out to someone else that their obvious opinion was opinion, it didn't need to be done. I can't think of once that it was ever necessary. Now, if someone states facts that are wrong, that's a whole different story. But nobody, as far as I can tell, ever needs someone else to point out that their opinion is an opinion.
Emeda Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 funny, cuz at level 50 there isn't jack **** for a solo player to do. Thats because there is nothing to do at 50.
tmpearson Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 funny, cuz at level 50 there isn't jack **** for a solo player to do. That's the end, silly. Time to re-roll and keep paying your sub.
RaistlinDaWiz Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 The problem is is that many posters on this forum treat their opinions as fact. So they need to be reminded that it is indeed opinion. Maybe that is true to some extent, but as long as someone doesnt outright lie (i.e claiming something something as an objective fact when its not) there is no need to constantly point out that an opinion is an opinion. A chair is a chair etc.
