Wondering if i should buy the game

[Necro]

Recently left SWG, and with a new rig im looking into PS.So hows the gameplay? i love Twitch gameing, and im just wondering about how the population is.High or low?

[Mr1337Duck]

I wouldn't call this a twitch game, you can't be the chaingun god, you have to have other people helping you. It has great team aspects, but it's not twitchery.

[Onizuka]

the population levels have dramatically decreased since its release but theres still a ton of people playing it...... hope to see you online :cool:

[Eliaas_Demens]

You didn't even stick through the free month of SWG? Jeeze. I play SWG, I love it.

[Bismarck]

Oni, the reason of the dramatic decrease in population levels IS SWG.

I reccomend buying it, if you have the rig.

[Setari]

Hell i don't have a very high-end rig and i bought it. Of Course the game made me hellbent to get my full 512 memory working (ordered 512 with the comp, ibm was too lazy to install the second 256, and dont have enuf money to get more :( )

The game is great. But if you want twitch you're lookin at the wrong game. Like all the above said, you can't really go into this game solo and expect to do well. So uh....ah whatever

Ok let's see...ranted bout rig....game's great....yea that's about it :P

i think a lot of peeps left cuz ther 3o day trial is up.

[NightWalker XI]

I like PS but lately I been pissed off because of mass lockups

[rafein]

if you have fileplanet, you can just download it and try for 7 days now

[Lise]

Yes, with the FilePlanet 7 day trial, you have no reason to not at least TRY the game out.

And I suspect that after the suckitude that is SWG, people will be returning to PS quite soon.

its not twitch like CS from the point of view that you cant shoot people 3 times in the torso and expect them dead - the damage system is more like quake or unreal [lacking in location damage however]. i persoanlly wish it was a bit more like the CS damage system [even without location damage] but i said this once before and got flamed.

[Onizuka]

i dont have swg and have never played and seen it but does it suck? did it flop and get bad reviews?

[Lonehunter]

I've read a lot of bad reviews about it, but then agian I've read bad reviews abou PS too so... I think I'll just stick with PS.

[MercFox1]

My friend (who is a l33t hacking wh0re) and has a full time job at a sweet company says that SWG is AWESOME. It fits more along the line of Half-PS, Half-Anarchy Online, with a touch of George Lucas tossed in for character.

What's funny is that SWG and PS are both SOE games...

[Eliaas_Demens]

Those "bad reviews" were published the day of release. I'm sure they got a real informed opinion posted on it. And sure, plenty of people played the beta... but since when is the beta of enough merit to make an informed statement on the game?

SWG rocks.

[Condrah]

actually in my case I WANT TO REGISTER TO PLANETSIDE...soooo badly....but it doesnt receive my Credit card....it denies it and I sent email and they told me to go to the live chat thing and I tried....been trying alot but they never answer me.....bah....bad support.

and the CC is alrright it works >.<

[Condrah]

ooo just wanted to say that SWG is a good game, the bad reviews u see SO FAR were done the first day of release, which wasnt good....some problems with register but when u log on 0 lag...no lag...amazing. AND the game is good, some people dont like it, reason? because there isnt good loot...I MEAN THE GAME HAS BEEN OUT FOR 2 weeks...come on...and the first big month patch is about to come ;p and it will include loots also....the game is good, feel sorry for the people that dont like it.

[Hexen]

Ya Condrah I wanna sign up too. :(

Anything I say on these forums I gathered from gameplay in beta.

Infact recently I changed ISP, and I forgot to change my e-mail information in the Station account I used to play the PlanetSide beta. I e-mailed Station support about it and they requested all the information I alreaded gave them, as well as credit card information?!? Why would I have credit card information if I have yet to play a damn game with that account?

After I replied again telling them that I couldn't do that, they proceeded to just ignore me and forget about my problem. Their support is useless.

Anyway, im picky about these kind of things because I use that username alot and the fact that I can't regain control of it greatly affects my willingness to actually buy PlanetSide at all.

As far as I remember HEADSHOTs counted in UT.

PS should have location damage so that those of us who can aim properly could do the correct amount of damage.

[Hexen]

I think they only counted with the sniper rifle though. (In UT)

Dont remember, but sniper rifles were made for headshots.. :-)

Except the PS one which is idiotic since you cant hit anything moving because of the "#***"&()= COF.

[MercFox1]

"HEADSHOT!" Oh yeah UT was fun with that. When I was a sniper I usually got one shot kills with my Bolt Driver...
