My big case settled, and now that I actually, like, go home at night and stuff, I am considering my gaming options. Help me decide.

1. JK2
2. DS
3. Logging into EQ again.

Legal disclaimer: those who pick option 3 may be flogged, especially if I follow their advice.

Why bother leveling a character when you'll just have to start all over again in EQ2 anyway?

I'd say DS, but save to buy JK2. DS will last longer and be more fun for long periods of time, but JK2 is fun to run back to.

JK2 is far from a twitch fest. The only parts you really need to be fast at are, uh.. some saber fights, and however long it takes you to figure out that stormtroopers' AI is comparitive to that of EQ mobs.

Don't you know the rules, stormtroopers are only competent offscreen, hell look what they did to the jawa's sand crawler. See it has to be off screen, much like red shirts, off screen they are ok, on screen they are just a body count.


O and how about instead of going back to EQ, try DAoC of AO?

Hello, my mushy friend...
posted 04-25-2002 09:13:15 AM
1 : JK2 is hella fun. The only thing to note, is that it feels just like every other FPS game until you play with force powers and the saber. Few of the weapons are really original, and while all of them are fun to play with, the only real one that makes the game stand out is the saber.

That said, the saber is hella fun. You can drag it along a wall or object to produce a glowing molten line across the wall, it sort of 'motion blurs' around, great sound, etc.

2) DS has quite a bit more replayability. You've got an entire party, rather than just one character. The entire party is fully customisable. You can make any character any job (Though certain characters are better at certain jobs).

The graphics in both games are exceptional. The first is shorter, but requires more skill in jumping and FPS type games. DS is more of a RPG. Longer, but some bits can drag on.

3) EQ is EQ.

I'd recommend 2 if you want a game you'll be playing for quite a while longer, but with a slower pace. 1 if you want fast paced action and some kickass saber fights.

3 if you're just the kind of guy that likes EQ
