SWG or Planetside?

[321]

Currently they are the most talked about MMO games. Which do you think is better?

[Onizuka]

ps became boring after i hit br20, and I don't want to play SWG for several reason which i dont feel like explaining. Therefor, I am not educated enough to give an opinion on which is better. Though some parts of Planetside, like huge bridge battles, were awesome.

Yeah bridge battles rock.

SWG > PS

Planet Side:
-Fight the same battles with the same weapons every minute of every day.

SWG:
Well.. screw that. I was gonna write a list of all the shit you can do in SWG but i dont feel like wasting a whole 3 hours. Let me just re-assert my previous point that: SWG > PS.

That being said: PSU > All

[EineBeBoP]

meh no opinion. PS is still good IMO (i play on sucky comp, so i havent played well enough for it tog et reprditive yet) and I dont like SWG so far, but corrosion's coming over today to help me.

SO i guess well see.


*no vote yet*

[Jaged]

Guess what answer you are going to get. You are on a Planetside forum.

btw PS>*

br20,cr4 here...

i still enjoy playing ps most of the time, and i will end up buying core combat.

ps > swg.

Not a good comparison. If you're looking for PvE with lots of character development and some PvP thrown in on the side SWG is better. If you're looking for dedicated PvP between large numbers of people in a FPS setting PS is better. It's like comparing WW2O to EQ, two totally different games.

[Hamma]

SOE doesent care either way, both of them are SOE games afterall :p

[Happy lil Elf]

Oh yeah I should add if SWG was on the station pass, even for a small additional fee say like $5 I'd probably be playing it right now. As it is I get EQ, PS and, eventually, EQ2 for $21/month and at this time SWG is definately not worth it to me to pay another $15/month for one game /shrug

[xuur]

agreed Elf. Why they stuck SWG out separately from every other game they control, is unknown to me. $21/mo to play every one of the games they have could have me divorced and playing full time in about a week.


:S

[firecrackerNC]

wheres the "both of these got totally retarded after 2 weeks of play" vote?

[WildEagle]

PS=uber
SWG=suxxorz(havent seriously played like for hours but wasnt that great

It is as simple as this:

As far as MMOs go,

PS if for people who desire twitch based combat.
SWG is for carebears.

[Febnon]

what about NEITHER

[MilitantB0B]

SWG sucks, imho, PS is a bit on the boreing side now, but there is no other good MMO game out better, so they still get my money. :)

EXPLAIN!

Have you played SWG?

[NoSurrender]

meh /me kicks corrosion in the nuts cuz SWG Sucks it killed New Dawn... wut do u say shogun err strygun i should say...

[Kaikou]

Content goes to SWG
Repetitiveness goes to PS
Fun factor goes to SWG
Ingame community goes to SWG
PvP goes to SWG
Interest length goes to SWG
Everything else good goes to SWG

Savage > SWG > PS

[Robot]

where's the "NO." option?

if i was forced by a terrorist at gunpoint to have to play one of them, SW:G, simply because there's more to do than in planetside. although if the terrorist was a friendly terrorist, like some sort of canadian terrorist and gave me a choice of any game, i'd probably just stick with half-life 2 or whatever

[Mtx]

Canadian terrorist :lol:

[Happy lil Elf]

Kaikou, take that act on the road. You'll have you're own network sitcom by christmas for sure. :lol:

[EineBeBoP]

SWG = PS

PS is bigger because its still just a bit better.

I'll prolly play SWG until WoW comes out. well see after that.

Please explain how SWG's PvP is better than PS's.

There is nothing good about SWG except maybe the crafting. There is no reason why anyone should play SWG for longer than a month.

[Blood_Knight]

Planetside's better. The End.:p

BETA SUXED ASS. I was in the beta and it was boring as hell, but now I play the full version and its a billion (if not more) times better than the gay ass beta of SWG.

[firecrackerNC]

they both suck ass end of story

? How could it possibly be any different? All I've seen from the numerous patch reports is that they've reduced/added some crap, nothing big or game changing

Indeed

[DaShiznit]

:Grabs his punisher and prepares to go medieval on the ass of anyone who voted SWG:

btw, all of you ppl who say that PS sux, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE? If this game blows as much as you say it does, just cancel your damn subscription and leave the rest of us in peace!

[WritheNC]

PS is better because its a pioneer of a new MMOxxx genre, in my opinion.

SWG is kind of like Everquest. In space. With only half the things SOE got wrong in Everquest fixed. And Wookies.

I played SWG for a bit, and I've been playing EQ for over 4 years.

Its the same game with a different set of clothes. You couldn't convince me otherwise.

The only reason I still keep my EQ account active and play is because of all the great people I met and spent time with.

I'm sure every single MMORPG developer out there has this idea as their best way to turn a profit.

WoW > PS > SWG

Don't ask how WoW fits in the picture...I just theorize it being #1 next year.

[TekDragon]

1. SWG Beta did suck. Thing is, about 3 days before the game went live they unleashed a series of patches that changed everything and made the game 100 times more fun. Over the past few months they've gotten everything working smoothly. A few weeks ago they drastically altered the PvP system (75% dmg reduction). In a few more weeks it seems they will likely re-do the HAM bar system. All of these changes have been good, and the game just keeps getting better.

2. Whoever says SWG PvP sucks really needs to clean out their crack pipe more often. Their are SO many solo and group PvP tactics, its unbelievable. With the ground-breaking skill/tree based system player's can mix and match abilities so that almost no two player's fight exactly alike (except for all the damn bounty hunters).

I dont even want to hear people harping about PS's PvP either. The whole freaking game is PvP and you know what? It sucks. If this was Tribes we were talking about, i'd agree: yeah, it's more involved than SWG's PvP. But PS? Please! That's a joke.

Oh, one other thing. We actually have urban battles, darting in and out of buildings. Hell, just this night I bolted into a theatre, ran on stage, and got off a few clean hits on a group that was trying to come after me through the mish-mash of chairs. When they got close i ducked out the side curtain and made another stand on the roof of the medical center. The most "enviromental tactics" you can have in PS is a bridge battle or ducking behind a freaking tree.

3. Im sick of hearing people say "SWG sucks" without giving a good reason. Wow, you played Beta and didn't like it. Who cares? Wow, your friend's friend's friend said it sucked, so you know it sucks. Who cares?

From what i've seen the only people I know who gave up on SWG were the ones who honestly have no interaction skills or have the depth of a puddle. Nuff said.

[EineBeBoP]

GASP!

Oh, my god! I actually agree with Tek!
/me dodges fireball that falls from sky
The apocolypse is coming!

but yes, I usted to HATE swg, but now that I've played it on a friends account (I love how 2 people can use the same account jsut differant servers at the same time) I love it. I've gotten 2 other friends to buy it, and I think they enjoy it as well so far.

Now all I need is a pet... *rubs hands together evily*

[TekDragon]

If you become yet another god-damn Pokemon Master bringing out his freaking rancors in the middle of the cantina I am going to hate you (even more) forever. :mad:

[EineBeBoP]

:( Nah, my poor Comp wouldnt survive that. But it would be fun to get a few rancors :) would sure make it a lot easier to fight off AT-STs.

[Sputty]

Both SWG and PS suck. Stay away from SOE, simple as that.

PS Sux,I did cancel my subscription,and no thank you I think ill stay here,you leave.kthxbye

[DaShiznit]

So, you stay here so you can bitch about a game that you don't even play anymore. Okay then...

[Spider]

If you can actually get rancors I'm gonna laugh by building a droid army :p

Btw question like that... can you build those rolling droids from episode one destroyer droids I think....

This is good advice.

just buy WOW or something

[Warborn]

I don't really like either much anymore.

However, I'd vote for PS if I had to, simply to discourage people from playing SW:G. I've been playing it for a couple months, almost, and I don't know, maybe it's my exensive MMORPG experience, but SW:G doesn't really have very fun gameplay. The combat is pretty boring, character advancement, while kinda cool with their varied professions, is also pretty banal. Although there may be more content (that isn't randomly generated garbage) than I've seen, to find it you'd have to scour the forums looking for posts about where to go.

But, if you've never played a MMORPG before, SW:G might be enjoyable to you. Likewise, if you have a good group of friends to play it with, you may also enjoy it, because the social aspects is one of the few things done really well. In the end though, SW:G just really doesn't bring anything new to the table as far as gameplay goes.
