I'd get Mass Effect first, as you said it's a lot cheaper and by the time your finished with it DAO might be cheaper.

That was what I was planning too.

Figure I'd get it while it's on sale since everyone had good things to say, and then get DAO in a few.

 Good replies all around...looks like I'll be getting both of them.

I was kinda concerned with the combat in DAO being a little to slow, (I considered Baulders gate to slow), but from what I've read from user reviews on gamespot is that it isn't slow.

 Hey guys,

Looking at buyin a new game, and considering Mass Effect or DAO.

I'd just get DAO, except that ME is on sale for the weekend on steam (10 dollars...).

So I'm wondering if anyone's played both and which they liked better, and for what reasons.

Thanks!

I'm a breath away from buying this game but first I have a some of questions.

1- I noticed when I tried to buy the game the 50 US dollar price makes the exact conversion to 35 euros when i try to buy the game. I was used to paying that VAT thing (paying more) or whatever. Is it true that Europeans are paying the same as Americans for this game?Is this for real?I don't want any surprises.

2- Any Advice were to buy the digital download? The main website or direct2drive? Who gives faster download of the game? Not interested in Steam.

3- Are there waiting queues to enter the game? Only one game server right?Americans and Europeans.

4- Can I use paypall to pay the monthly subscription?  

5- I noticed the game's currency is poker chips.Is there a casino in game? :)

 

I'm almost positive I saw a paypal option on the subscription screen.

I'd say take the plunge. I bought it and have speant maybe 3 hours in it so far. Love it.

You could, also read about the game and its systems.

Good link, but I've always found other players to be more reliable and honest than the game's website.

 Thanks for the replies.

Purchased and downloading off steam now. The switching modes doesnt sound bad at all.

 Hey everyone,

I was going to stay away from purchasing another game for a while but now that I'm sick and confined to the house, I find myself bored, and thinking about purchasing FE.

Just had a question about ranged combat and movement;

Does the ranged combat involve a degree of "skill" to it? That is, if you aim at the head, does it do more damage? Or if you crouch (if you can) do you have better accuracy? Trying to find out where the traditional "rpg" elements start and the "fps" elements end.

Also, I've read that movement is kind of clunky compared to other MMOs. Anyone have anything to say about this?

Anything else you wish to say is welcome also, 

Thanks!

Yes. You can be "good" sith warrior and "evil" jedi. Both start as neutral.

Yeah that’s just retarded imo.
I mean you can change sides, e.g. you can be a Jedi knight who falls to the dark side...and becomes a sith.
Not a Jedi knight who is just happens to be evil

Nah I could easily see a Jedi who fights for the republic but uses "evil" means to attain his ends.

There have been examples in the star wars universe as well.

Then people will finally realise how horrible, boring and (unless you consider grinding for 10h+) with no actual difficulty except tank and spank fights with the odd AoE was They should also make that vanilla server with the exact bugs that vanilla had, so you can fully experience the glory of it.

Although i share your view on the actual form of WoW with its neverending grind of pretty much everything, Vanilla WoW perfection came from the lvling process. The raid system was actually worse than BC or WOTLK.

But yes, you didn't have to grind for everything once you got your 100% mount.

This a thousand times over.

Especially when new servers were released (so much pvp going on in Ashenvale!)

I could give a fuck about the raiding either way the cake is cut, but back in vanilla servers there was so much more interaction. Harder to solo "elite" quests, more pvp while leveling, more enjoyable leveling. Now low level areas are ghost towns, high level areas everyone just flies around to avoid combat.

Remember farming scourge farms in vanilla plaguelands with a group of 5, and then seeing 5 of the other faction doing the same?

ahhh.....

Is this your attempt at saying vanilla WoW is worst than WoW with the expansions? 

The worst.  If you didn't enjoy S2 and S3 overall PvP and difficulty of Kael and Vashj and you say that they were easier than vanilla, then sorry dude, you never played WoW.

I'm gonna take a guess here...You never did AQ40? And running it at 70/80 doesn't count.

Wow, what's the catch?

 

none, apparently...other than the fact that those who already completed their meditate / waistpack / cloak grind will probably still have higher stat stacking than those in armor.

But it kinda looks like it gives a viable alternative to farming NS / FS for months.

This is completely off topic, but I've been lurking for ages and just want to say that I've always loved your sig animation.

Hella creepy in  a non creepy way.

 We could only hope for a game series and movie trilogy to be based off of the Thrawn trilogy.

 

I've always thought of it as the next logical step for the Star Wars IP, and Timothy Zahn does a masterful job writting the books. Although I did think Thrawn as a character was a little too clairvoyant.

 

I agree with that lol. I actually got annoyed by it at times, still a good read though.

Good to see I wasn't the only one. I can distinctly remember being like "really?....." a couple of times.

 This is the first of the "why not" series that I really like.

It would be tough as hell to pull off, but if it could be done well it could prove to be a fantastic concept and provide a unique experience.

I'd love to have some set up where a group of players set up a murder mystery situation and another group trys to solve it. 

And just for the record, my name would be "The hardly boys" and I'd go around talking about my raging clues.

To expensive for a PC game for sure, $55 is high after tax it would end up around $60 or more most likely. This is only $15 cheaper than the boxes, which I could somewhat understand those being overpriced with shipping/manufacturing costs. I will be waiting for E block or release to check reviews on if I want to buy it. Lost to much money in the past pre-ordering(AoC, LoTRO) and those were suppose to be backed by million dollar companies.

Correct me if I'm wrong, as I know a lot of politicians have been trying to get their dirty hands on our money, but I haven't heard any new developments saying that we pay tax on internet purchases. Although maybe the EU has some tax that we would have to pay, honestly dont know.

Also, 60 USD is the price of any new console game on the market, although I was honestly expecting something around 40 USD from an independant developer, I would still be willing to part with 60 if it turns out to be good.

As a person who just read your Mortal Online thread, you have no room to make a statement like this.

 

Aside from that your section of text below your avatar make's me facepalm as well. Stereotypical FPS player / PvP kiddie.

And you sir, are no better, if not worse. Grow up and stop trolling.

Hardly a troll. I was merely saying that the OP had no reason to state that the person he was quoting was "spouting ignorancy" when all of that persons statements were true.

Lets hope no one is stupid enough to develop that.

QFT, however -- given the obsession with the hip hop world, and the popularity of MMOs (notice how a lot of games that arent MMOs claim to be just so that they can have that title?) I wouldn't be surprised to see it come out

And then flop
