I have been reading all of the threads on what people think of the demo and one question keeps coming back to me....




Why when ever any one post down their thoughts on something, there is always at lest one person that says they are just down right wrong????

How can anyone know what is going to happen with this game (well except for maybe Gary but lets not go there...) untill it has gone gold????

Why can you people have a calm discution about the demo and what may or may not be wrong with it with out having to resort to i am right and you are wrong???

People can't be calm about this because theyre so passionate about the Star Wars universe.
Nobody wants to admit its faults and shortcomings, and the people not satisfied with the game (myself included) just begin to dislike the game more and more as the faults are exposed.
Of course it can be said that this is only a demo and doesn't represent the game fully, but it should also be noted that demos released this close to gold are made to convince people of the games greatness and would likely try to make as faithful of a representation as possible.
I hope that the developers are reading these boards and are finding some constructive criticism about the game rather than all of the senseless arguing thats been going on.

So because you feel the game is not as good as you thought it should be, when someone else says it is good, you feel that just because you feel it is bad you can jump on them and say that they are wrong.

That is one of the stupidest things i have ever heard!!!

You feel the game could be better.... Great, that doesn't mean that others don't think it is already better...



I am sorry for my anger with this but i can't belive how stupid everyone sounds when they say that someone is wrong just because that person doesn't agree with what they say.

Listen, this is a discussion board, RIGHT?
So that means that I'm going to give you my opinion. I really dont think whether or not you agree with me is relevant, just be ready to DISCUSS what you think is good about the game rather than just complaining that I dont agree with you.
So take it easy, figure out what is so great about this game and tell me about it. Otherwise keep your mouth shut and your comments to yourself.

By the way, don't take my comments as a reason to start a flame war. All that I'm saying is that if you've got something to say about the game, say it. Don't tell me that I shouldnt be attacking the games weaknesses.
Lets leave it at that.

Sir you are missing the point of this thread!!!!

This thread is not to talk about the demo....

It is to ask why everyone can have a normal discution about the demo.

Yes this is a discution board but how can you have a dicustion is all you do is come back with the argument that you are right and anyone else that does not agree with you is wrong!!!

I see you added something so i add.

I don't care what you think about the game it this thread. I really don't care what you think about the demo at all. I told you to read this thread again because you are trying to start a flam war in another thread.

Listen... if you think that your own idea or vision is right, how can you possibly think that an opposing idea is anything but wrong?
Thats the entire essence of argument.
I value other opinions and agree on some strong points of the game (I mean I am playing it), but I have not seen a single instance of a valid defense of the game. If you have one yourself or have seen one, please post it for me at this forum so that I can see it.

So you haven't had any classes in debate have you???

The point of a discution is to offer reasons why or why not, but i have not seen you offer any either way. The last reason i saw from you was that the only reason people liked the game is because it says star wars on it.

Now i am not saying that the only people fighting are the people who don't like the game. Offer you thoughts and then move on. If someone says that dissagree leave it unless you have prove that what they say is wrong, and that is a hard thing to do when it comes to a point about likes and dislikes (you may not like the graphics and the net person may think they are good, how can you tell the person they are wrong??? That is personal perferince you can't argue with that.)

For some reason you seem to think i am telling people to stop discusing the game. All i am asking is why everyone most fight about little points that can not be proven or disproven.

Here's the deal. All of us want GB to a good game, no wait, a great game. I have been looking forward to this for a long time. Some people love Star Wars so much that they are willing to look past the graphics and other issues and are perfectly happy with that. Others, like me, would like to see a higher standard applied to the game. When we post out thoughts and express our disappointment with the demo it is with the hope that LA will listen and make the appropriate changes to allow the game to appeal to a larger group of gamers. The problem is that anytime anyone posts a negative comment on the board, some feel that it is a personal attack on their opinion of the demo or the Star Wars universe, which is not the case.

I personally love Star Wars, I love the universe, I love the characters, and I love the classic struggle of good vs. evil. I even like Jar Jar Binks and the Ewoks! Thats how much I love Star Wars.

But, I am dissappointed with demo. I say this not to attack anyone who liked but (as I stated earlier) in the hopes that LucasArts will listen and make changes.

Unfortunately, I feel that my posting will be all for naught as I read in one of the other posts that the art is locked, and that the game is close to gold.

OK i am not just talking to the people who put down thoughts that say they don't like the game. I a talking to everyone. And this just isn't about the demo...

I think it is good that people put down what they feel. This is how you have a discusion.

Why i have a question about is why everyone fights over though thoughts.

Like Duncan just said someone posts something negative and people who like it take it personal and fight back then the person with the negative comment becomes upset and fights back.

Why can't everyone just post their thought, not take it personal and move on. There is no need for people to say someone is bad, kisses lucasarts @ss, or hates Star wars.

That is the point of this thread. I don't understand why can people just post the thoughts and move on, why do people take in personal and fight about it.

As with any demo, you are not getting the full product, so quit complaing all you complainers, you can't judge this or any game just by the demo so get off it. Sure you may be disappointed in some of the demos gameplay, but I'm sure the developers will make any necessary improvements before the final product is released. Give this game a chance, you may be impressed.:mad:
