maaes Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 the main difference is that kotor is a story driven single player roleplaying game, whereas sw: galaxies is a massive multiplayer online roleplaying game. what this essentially means is that while you follow a story from point a to point b in kotor (interrupted here and there by a number of sidequests) there is no story per say in sw: galaxies. that is at least not a story that revolves around your character the same way it does in kotor. another difference is, kotor being a singleplayer game means that you and you alone is in control of the player characters, and how their abilities turn out. in sw:g you are in control of one character (unless you play the game on several computers at the same time) and everyone else, with the exception of NPC's are played by other players around the world. what you need to realize before starting an online game is that they per definition have no end - you could play the game for days, weeks, months even years and you will never get to the point where the game tells you: CONGRATULATIONS, you have completed the game. so what you need to do is to figure out what you really want - do you want to play a game which lets you experience a story, knowing that at some point you will have completed the game, or do you want endless gameplay? personally i would go for KOTOR, because this is a game you can play whenever you want and you are not dependent on other players - plus i can almost guarantee you that one hour of playing kotor will leave you feeling you have accomplished alot more in game than one hour of playing sw:g. but in the end it is a personal opinion which only you yourself can make up your mind about. be advised tho - playing sw:g will cost you 13.95$ or something like that per month to play, whereas kotor is free once you buy it. shessh, what a long rambling post, sorry about that - anyways i hope some of the things in here will help you decide. *EDIT* one piece of advice i think you will definitely benefit from would be to visit the homepages for each of the games and check out a little more about the info for each game.

Anakin_Katarn Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 thanks. KOTOR looks more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiEND_138 Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 & from what my friends who play, have told me about Galaxies is theres no real story. You can't really count on other players to make an immersive, story-driven game. Atleast not on the scale with KotOR & no stupid fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
