Rogue15 Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 I'm getting galaxies for xbox live. There is no other way I'd want to play it, considering xbox live will have the voice communicator, and hopefully galaxies has various voice modulations for each race. I'm going to be a Trandoshan, but if i can be more than one character, Zabrak. both male characters. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalnax Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 big mistake, I don't want to get into a console vs computer arguement but....well.... computers are better. Anything on the Xbox, can be done on Comp., only better. For instance, Voice Comm. http://www.teamspeak.org/ Great program for voice comm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One question though, is there a cost associated with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything on the Xbox, can be done on Comp., only better. Hehe, I used to think so too. But now with my playstation2, I must say that my PC morale is weakened. You will not experience something like Virtua Fighter 4 on a PC. Evah. But yeah, no way I'd play something that requires typing on a console. Or a strategy game. Or a first person shooter. Because you don't play first person shooters, you suffer them! And the X-box controller makes my tiny hands hurt. It's a very mean console.

BlackDove Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 X-Box version won't be as near as massive as that of the PC. But, whatever rocks your boat =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 And the X-box controller makes my tiny hands hurt. It's a very mean console. Aaah, poor Set. I agree with Set on the last part. No way am I ever gonna play a strategy game (again ), or first person shooter on a console. Not even a MMORPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

setsuko Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Genesis, 6:44-50: 44 On the seventh day, before resting and leaving upon Man to explore Eden, He stepped before Man and gave twin gifts: 45 First God gave upon Man the PC, and he spoke: "This is a computer. Use it for the holy Internet Relay Chat. Revere it for its p2p might. And I will gift it with the keyboard, and the mouse". 46 Then God gave upon Man the console, and he spoke: "This is a console. Use it for its holy fighting games. Revere it for the joy of social gaming. And I will gift it with the gamepad." 47 But Man fought among itself, for he could not agree which was the better. And Man tried to combine the two systems, by giving the console a keyboard and a mouse, and porting fighting games to the PC. God saw this, and was truly furiated at Man. Again, he stepped down, and spoke: 48 "You have angried me greatly! I created the PC and the console to be equal, yet different. Yet you fight about which is superior, and blaspheme by bastardizing the gifts of the divine Trinity; the keyboard, the mouse and the gamepad. Therefore, I will curse both systems: 49 I will curse the PC with the Egyptian plagues of viruses, codecs and popups. And I will curse the console with the Sodom sins of sport games, withdrawn european releases and The Nintendo Thumb." 50 And from that day on, both systems were flawed, and mankind would never again experience ultimate, divine gaming. Learn from the good book, ladies and gentlemen. Some things are simply not meant to be! We risk a second Great Flood if we keep living in sin like this!

Skelch Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Hello all, kinda new around here. Just to through some marbles into your path, the problem with Teamspeak, and I use it in my squad when I play wwiionline, is that everyone has to be on the same server, which as to be determined upfront. Where as the xbox version of communication is universal since everyone who has xbox live has the communication tools and is all ready on the same line. All in all the looks of the game, after all the appearence of starwars is half the fun, is what sells me to my PC version over the xbox version. Well there is my cent and a half.

Be sure to check out the Read This First thread at the top of this forum, as it contains some guidelines on how to behave, if you haven't all ready. Most here are friendly and the aggression level is far from what you will find in the Official SWG Boards, so I'm sure you will like it here. Please feel free to stay as long as you want. And have some chocolate covered gnorts. Complementary Juztyn. Also be sure to check out the SWGalaxies.Net site which is connected to these forums. We hope you enjoy your stay here on the SWGalaxies.Net Forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelch Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Thank you thank you, I am glad to hear the aggression level is less here. Aggression is to be expected on online forums. But as your post suggests it is too high on the official forums, lotsa crying and flaming ther Anyway I don't want to high jack the thread.

Aeonan_Ren Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 If voce communication is all you want, man we were doing that stuff in EQ 2 years before X-box was even arround. There are about 5 different systems that you can use for voice with a PC. Being that SWG will be windowed it will be even easier to use then with EQ. Also, as someone who has recently beta tested EQ Online adventures, let me tell you that Console versions of these games are NOT what you are looking for. They are dumbed down, way too easy to play and small. If you are 12 years old they are ok but not for the serious gammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue15 Posted January 24, 2003 Author Share Posted January 24, 2003 it's just that i don't feel like spending an additional $100-$200 upgrading my computer to play the game. and besides, i won't have to worry about 56k'ers lagging up the game [note: i haven't really played any mmoRPG games to verify the 56k lagging comment] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the servers speed that matters, not the players (though you might be used to servers suffering from lag. Now that's a different things. Then it is the hosting computer that is lagging).

Sounds Risky Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Is it really turn based?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeonan_Ren Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 It's not turn based. But individuals with 56K modems make no change on the servers lag, only the total ammount of people on. Being that X-box will only have one server you are going to have more of a lag problem there then with the PC. If you never see or play the PC version then maybe the Xbox version will be ok for you but trust me it will not be the same game, not even close.

Skelch Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Thanks setsuko... Oh crap I got cookie crumbs in betweeene. the keeys of my kkkkeey board. see what ya made me do? Yeah I love my xbox, don't get me wrong it is the first console I have liked since I got my first PC, but you are right about them dumbing down the game to fit the consoles. It of course is because the xbox does not have upgradable hardware. Unless you hack it, but ya know what I mean. So the game has to stay within the abilites of the console. But Lord knows I can understand money constraints. Just make sure your decission is made with all the facts about the limitations of a console version. peace Roy aka Skelch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

setsuko Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Some people believe that because it is NOT a twitch game (that means, it's not primarily your speed and reflexes that counts in battle), it is to be considered 'turn based'. Nothing could be further from the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
