TieDefender75 Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 Do u think that once star wars galaxies comes out(yay) that many people will forget about gb!?!?!?
Darth_Rommel Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 Nah... They'd just play Galaxies for a while, get sick of paying the monthly fee, and go back to playing GB...
Guest Admiral Odin Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 I agree. Galaxyies 1st buy the game, 2nd pay monthly to play the game. (that is why I bought it) or GB 1 buy and play a game (one payment only) I'm not even wasting money with Galaxies.
Guest Kvan Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 No, because Galaxies is more social and personal, where as BG is more grand battles and stratagy-like. They are two seperate type of games, each with there own following
Guest Boba Rhett Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 *walks in and throws a MPG* Yoink!
Link Antilles Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 No, GB is how Star Wars is meant to be with no monthly fee!
Guest Kvan Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 Originally posted by Link Antilles No, GB is how Star Wars is meant to be with no monthly fee! But its a completely different style of play.. Thats like saying Jk and Force Commander are the same.
Guest Boba Rhett Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 Damn Straight! Once I buy a game, I don't like to have to keep on paying to keep on playing. I am probably going to try Galaxies out though.
Lord JayVizIon Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 no way. swgb will probably be one of the better LEC games coming out. i know there's some hoopla surrounding jedi outcast, galaxies, and rogue leader, but it's been awhile now since gamers have been wanting an LEC strategy game such as swgb.

Anyways, i think that GB will be just as big as Galaxies, and when it comes out alot of people will stick with battlegrounds, alot of people will play both, and alot of people will just get galaxies. Either way, both will do fine.
Booya2020 Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 Galaxies does look like it has an incredeble amount of depth to it. You can be a bounty hunter, Jedi, Criminal, Hero, craftsman, Impirial, Rebel... and the list goes on. In the game you can even go online and buy yourself a house to keep your stuff in and hang out, a shop where you can hire a npc to sell your mechandise, a factory where you can make your merchandise...and the list goes on. im thinking of getting a MMORPG and im stuck between Galaxies and World of Warcraft. Galaxies is looking better all the time with the announcement of an expansion pack for it that will allow you to get your own ship...
Guest Gamma732 Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 Most people will end up playing both Galaxies and GB eventually. For the most part, Galaxies will attract the SW fans that are also RPG fans, while GB will take the RTS fans. I for one neither have the money to pay an MMORPG's subscription nor the abundance of days to devote to playing it. So its going to be all GB for me.

If its only 10 bucks a month you can probably pay for it But wanting to pay for it is a whole other matter
Booya2020 Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 $10 bucks is petty cash but i have to pay for my internet also... Would I be able to hook up two computers to the same account?

Compa_Mighty Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 They're different genres, they will appeal to different people
darthfergie Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 If I want anytiype of SW RPG it will probably be Knights of the Old Republic. It is a straight out and out RPG.
Guest Kvan Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 Originally posted by darthfergie If I want anytiype of SW RPG it will probably be Knights of the Old Republic. It is a straight out and out RPG. And Galaxies isn't?!
darthfergie Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 It is an MMORPG. You really can't play that with single player. Straight RPGs you can do sigle player or both.
Guest Kvan Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 Originally posted by darthfergie It is an MMORPG. You really can't play that with single player. Straight RPGs you can do sigle player or both. Ok, so you can't play single player, but thats not what rpg's are about (imo). RPG's are about interacting with other people. )
darthfergie Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 I don't remeber doing that in final fantasy...well besides the CPU...
Guest Kvan Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 Originally posted by darthfergie I don't remeber doing that in final fantasy...well besides the CPU... You didn't And thats one of the reasons I don't like FF. But the new FF will be able to play online with other people.
darthfergie Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 Originally posted by Kvan You didn't And thats one of the reasons I don't like FF.

Some people scare me enough that I won't want to play online*cough*BILL THRAWN*cough* I know there are people out there who aren't that stupid but you never know who you will run in to. That is a big downer about Galaxies:(

That is a big downer about Galaxies:( Sure there are stupid people out there but that shouldn't stop you from having fun. So what if someone calls you names or shows porn? They shouldn't do it, but they do. Just don't let it bother your enjoyment of the game. And if they harass you too much report them. There are a lot of "good" players out there too. Don't just look at the bad ones
darthfergie Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 I remeber the last time I got on a site that was a big RPG... A guy said he could help me out if I bought a candlestick and whatever was in his bag...needless to say he freacked me out.
