Only word I can describe SW:ToR is, Generic.

 

"Story" = Timesink, nothing more.(and not as interestering as we have been led to believe)

 

5% actually playing the game, 95% listening to "Story"/Traveling.

Lets not try and pass personal opinion and playstyle as facts.

 

A good start would be to start your post with "I feel it's.." or "to me personally.." something along those lines. it saves a lot of back and fourth posting

It's a fact you have a personal opinion yes. Keyword is opinion

 

For instance. Story = timesink is trying to state a fact when it's a mere opinion. If you word it to, "To me story is a timesink" then you not only got it correctly, you come off less as a troll

 

But you won't do that. You would have to admit your own unique playstyle is the whole content of your post which again renders the thread pointless

In my opinion, you need to look  up the word "Fact" in the dictionary. 

Also, may want to check your percentages in your OP.  Maths may not be your strong point.

Totally agree with OP. Go to any place where there is a mission and see all the zombies with little ballons over there head listening to the story. IN MY OPINION he is absolutely right. Big time sink. Might be kind of fun the first time but its going to get old..

95% cutscene and 5% playing the game? That's not a fact.

That's a lie, unless maybe you really suck at the cutscenes and just sit there unable to make a decision for hours.

 Fine, Cutscenes+Travel time=95% ingame time.

Saying your average play time in a game consist of 95% listening to a story - at least for that particular player - is not an opinion it is a claim... it can be a fact or fallacy or exaggeration. I think the op is dramatically exaggerating to his claims and if you missef that he was intentionally exaggerating then you need serious help.

Now the opinion is whether this story telling experience is approvef or not... that is an opinion. You like it? Good for you... you dont? Then Welcome to the club!

Here is an interesting thought, what kbo56 said at 12:28:14 am in whatever timezone that is on the day of 12/27/11 contains a propostional true statement.  The proposition had several points that were obviously subjective and the rub is that people who are presently pleased with tor find it necessary to display their own devotion by way of their own subjective defense.

 

All of that said, I am curious to how much actual game time would be spent comparatively if there would be an examination of time spent "playing" the game out of cutscenes vs time in cutscenes among a sampling of players.  At the moment with my own experience playing the game--hitting spacebar--the time in cutscenes would be relatively short.  Thankfully the case resulted in not purchasing the game.

If it's such an obvious exaggeration, them why dud the OP claim they were facts a few posts back? Trolling maybe?

Funny thing is, fanboys and all tend to put their opinions as facts as well, far more then haters.  Believe it or not...

"The story is bland and uninspired" - Opinion

"This story is really amazing!" - Opinion

 

Just felt like highlighting it, since logic seems to work one way but not the other.

 

No, his math isn't correct btw, but its a dramazation of what it FEELS like, which is what any 'discussion' of this game will be based on. Facts are pretty limited.

He said "I can describe". That's the same like IMO or I feel or whatever. You and your friends jumped on him and brought the word 'fact' into the discussion so fck it.

That part only partains to the word "generic" which nobody can dispute. If he meant "I can describe" to all points, then he needs to learn how to construct his posts better.

Jumping in here like you are his boyfriend to defend him doesn't change anything

Why is it when someone posts "SWTOR is great!  I am having a blast!"  no one ever feels the need to remind them to put "In my opinion" before their statements?

Ok now, tell me 1 mmorpg that is not a timesink and i will cut off my tintins..

 

Everything you do in life is a timesink, some of that timesink we enjoy more, and some we enjoy less...

if you disagree then ok. telling others how to present information doesnt contribute.
