Knights of the Old Republic (Bioware)

or

Galaxies (Sony Online)?

Amazingly KOTOR.

I like Bioware a lot and to see them do their magic with Star Wars has me drooling.

My only problem with SW:Galaxies is I'm not big on the MMORPG gig.

I live in Tasmania and have dial-up internet.

I can't afford to fork out for a game, then pay the same fucking cost as a subscription fee every month.

On my connection it will take me an hour a day to keep up to date with all the fucking patches, not to mention connecting.

Then due to my lag, I'll likely be PK'd into oblivion by some cheesy 12 year old silver-spoon brat playing on mommy and daddies cable connection in the US.

So to answer, I am looking forward to KotOR.

Ando, I have seen you have not yet discovered the joys of DSL.
I'm really looking forward to both, actually. Both look like amazing games.

EDIT: Booyah! 1900th post!

I know the wonders of DSL, I work at a net cafe.

I just can't fucking afford to have that at home.

Definitely KotOR. Galaxies won't be as good as the Combine, says I. But KotOR looks slick.

KoTOR. MMORPGs make the baby Cthulhu cry.

I have a computer, and I don't have an XBox, hence I anticipate Galaxies. Plus I've got cable connection.

Actually KoTOR is slated for PC.

And my world comes tumbling down. Being a Jedi is way cooler than playing Everquest v3.0. Althouhg you can actually become a Jedi in Galaxies, its long and hard and boring. And you only get one character per account. Your paying $10+ dollars a month for this game, and you only get ONE charcater per account.

I'd remove my vote if I could 'cause...KotOR all the way.

So one is from Bioware, the other is from Sony. KOTOR, all the way.

Well, since this seems like a rout, I may as well add my weight behind Knights. Baldur's Gate was perhaps the greatest computer RPG series in history. In fact, I would say it's the standard against which ALL other RPG's are judged. I've gotta go with Knights. If it's just BG2 set in SW, it'll be an instant classic.

Some of the cooler stuff I've seen of preview videos is that stuff happens independantly, with you inputting stuff for special commands.

Apparently they've gauged Lightsaber battle with as much or little input as you want...and the scenes in space are suposed to be semi-free roaming with you being able to shot within the turret.

Honestly the damn thing looks too sweet, and the possiblity of being good or evil, is just too good to pass up.

I've never jumped on the MMORPG bandwagon, nor am I likely to. And most standard RPGs also don't appeal to me too much; I guess I've been spoiled by NetHack's l33t ASCII graphics

Actually, Baldur's Gate bored the hell out of me. I never finished neither BG nor BG2, usually ended playing after a fifth of sixth dungeon or so.

And Knights is not set during my favourite era, the Imperial Age. So no Star Destroyers, no stormtroopers and ruthless imperial officers.

As for the competition? Well, MMORPGs suck

Therefore, I'm not looking forward to ony of those two.

Knightsall the way, for reasons MoO and Ando already stated.

If KOTOR comes to PC I'm getting it.

KotoR because it is story-based... Galaxies might be cool to experiment with but there won't be a plot and it's going to get expensive in the long run.

But I'm a little worried about KotoR, because Bioware's Neverwinter Nights sucked so hard.

Wait your gonna have to pay to play Galaxies On-Line? Fuck that.

Yes heheh.

I want to get Galaxies because I'm more of a Diablo II player and from what I've read it's going to have a skill system that seems similar to Diablo
Plus, I wouldn't mind having a little feel like Everquest in it.

KOTOR because I've been waiting the essential and much improved sequel too Jedi Power Battles. I just got Bounty hunter last night and its a great game.

That's a tough one. I've heard good things about both, but I'm having a devil of a time finding anything firm about either at the moment. Stupid videogames.com started charging money to look at all of the goodies!

I must say, though, Galaxies sounds like it'd be the most fun to me, since I really enjoy such things as SW: Rebellion, ST: Armada and the like. Plus, I don't know much of Bioware's rep.

I dislike paying subscription fees. KotOR.

I refuse to pay 50 bucks for a game and not be able to play it with out forking out more and more money. Thats probly why World of Warcraft will be the first Blizzard game I won't get(unless they somehow decide to make it free). So, without really knowing what it is I'm going to go for the other one.

Really? I thought NWN was a good successor, though not a great one, to BG2.
