I see it's slowly replacing CS:Source when I log into Xfire to see who's on. Downloaded a gameplay video and it was a little green man running through some trees for about 2 minutes, with not a lot happening. What do you do in it?

Fantasy or not it's certainly more annoying.

Massively multiplayer games always seem to appeal to me, but I never get round to buying them (mainly because of the monthly fee and lack of a credit card). Always wanted to play Planetside.

I hear the PS2 has some nice ones.

There's only PSO on xbox and that sucks.

If Galaxies comes out on xbox as rumoured then I may have to get it as I would like to play an MMORPG without too many technical issues, even if it had to be part of that satan blowing franchise.

WoW accepts Switch and Solo :D

I'm using my Switch card.

It probably is. I do recall that when I grouped up and went on hunting missions, or a spot of Player Vs Players battling, I found the game allot more enjoyable, and I even came close to joining a guild at one time. But I’ve always proffered to go around solo, as I enjoy being left alone to explore each world. The trouble I had with Galaxies is, it didn’t really have anything interesting for me to find, so I ended up just sticking to doing boring hunting missions and joining groups when I could.

I also had no choice with the scouting profession. At the time, in order to become a Bounty Hunter you had to master both the Marksman and Scout professions. What got me was that not all of the skills you learnt where in any way enjoyable.

Also, regardless of how much I may dislike the game, the expansion pack is excellent. It remind me of the good old days of Lucasarts where games like X-Wing Vs Tie Fighter kept me playing for hours. I just wish they had it in the game a year ago, it may have kept me interested in Galaxies for a few more months.

I think the trouble is that I’m not only on an American Server, I’m also on one of the most popular. But the lag gets so bad it’s barely playable now. Outside in the open I can manage, but travelling through cities is an excruciating pain.

I’m getting some more RAM to see if that speeds things up, because despite being disappointed with the game in some areas, I still want to see what it’s like being a Bounty Hunter, as becoming one was my goal the very first time I began the game.

Sci-Fi.
I'd rather spend my time with droids, bounty hunters and tie-fighters than I would pixies, unicorns and wizards.

Yeah I'm 16 and I've got a Solo Debit card, so if you're 16 you can get one :)

I would look into this but I have no job. No money. No game.
