Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided.........Game of the Year or no?

:alliance:I havent played it yet but I have watched several videos of both cinematics and gameplay. And thusfar this game looks phenomenal. And I will be bold enough to say that I think An Empire Divided could give both Halflife2 and World of Warcraft a run for their money. The ONLY thing I had a problem with was the pay to play gig....not crazy about that and I know that WoW is the same way. But the graphics looked outstanding and the fact that finally you can almost live in the Star Wars universe just seemed incredible to me. Right now though I dont think my video card could handle this game...ill put my pc specs below if anyone is bored and wants to know lol. So, do any of you think that SW Galaxies: Empire Divided is worthy of game of the year? And for you who have played it, what do you think of it so far?:alliance:

PC SPECS:
2.4 Ghz Processor
512 MB Memory
60 GB Harddrive
32 MB Video (:(....soon to be upgraded to 64mb)
Windows XP

Iceman, we don't all have 500 dollars to spend on a video card. :P I think my machine is pretty average gaming wise, and it lags.

Someone should castrate all people involved in the making of the game.

I have a 3.2 processor, 3gig ram ATI X800. And almost no lag. Not even in Coronet.

It's OK. I'd only recommend it if you were a HUGE Star Wars fan. Otherwise the shock value of "Wow, I'm in Star Wars!" wears off mighty quick. Also, the game lags quite a bit in cities. I have a 2.0 ghz Celeron, Radeon 9600 128 MB, and 1 gig of ram, and I only get around 6 or 7 fps average in the main cities. Once again, if you have a REALLY good computer and are in love with Star Wars, stay away.

Edit: Also, the game was released in 2003. Unless of course you mean the expansion for game of the year...

Yeah, the game can be alittle frustrating if all you do is grind for your Jedi. I just get on and have fun (Roleplay when you can). Since JTL came out, I've been in space alot Once I unlock my FS slot I'm goin Master BH.

I was talking about the old ones, like when the npc in the dungeons didnt attack.

Edit: But it is a great game.

Star Wars Galaxies may LOOK good but it's just like all other MMORPG's a grind to the top and since Jedi have been out, it's just been a constant grind to reach Jedi. Oh and if you've played WoW, there's absolutely no comparison, the graphics, and gameplay are WAY better. I had the chance of playing the Open Beta and I fell in love with the game. SWG on the other hand was fun for the first two months. I made Master Creature Handler and first month that the game was released, I had 2 large houses, composite armor and 2 million credits on my account. It wasn't really a challenge, I felt like the whole time it was just really a competition to Master Professions first rather than actual role-playing. Just my two cents.

runs fine on my Laptop, Dont believe all the crashes etc.. i have played it since last xmas and it has crashed no more than 4 times on me, the servers go down at the same time everyday for about 1 hr, once u know when it is, u will know when not to play.

My System specs

AMD 64 3400+ CPU
1024MB RAM
ATI RADEON 9600 MOBILTY 128MB GFX CARD
200GB HD


I Seriously suggest gettin 1024, it loads faster and u wont lag near starports, Coronet mainly.

JTL is fun but remember it isnt needed to play SWG. ( it does save u waiting for transport )

Anyway i play on Bria Server and im almost Master BH, novice medic and almost teri kasi.

Hope u do get it, u wont regret it, it is possibly the most beautiful looking game in the MMORPG genre.

It is a good game. Lots of bugs, but you will get used of it. You should get more ram, if you dont want lag.

:alliance:I have been reading up ALOT the past day or so about SW: Galaxies. And honestly I'm gettin kinda iffy about buying the game based on what I've been reading about how people are having problems virtually in every aspect of the game between game down time, crashes, incompatabilty and all that stuff. Are any of you SW: Galaxies players having these problems? I dunno...maybe I should just wait till next summer like alot of people are saying on the Galaxies forums untill SOE and LA clean the bugs outta that.:alliance:

The Game is awsome. To get the full effect, I suggest you have a kick a$$ system. I stick to RolePlaying when I'm on. Just makes it much more fun. The New expansion that just came out JTLS is AWSOME. When your in a space battle, you can target certain systems on a ship to disable it or just kill them outright. You can board ships, take entire groups onto a freight ship. I'll shut up now....check it out.
Im on the Flurry server.

as long as your processor isnt a celeron, and you upgrade your graphics card (look at the upgrade to 128 Geforce FX5200 or 5600, it worth the money if you can aford it. they dont even make 64mb cards anyome, what card are ytou upgradeing to) you should be able to run it, not at highest settings, but it will work. :)
