JoeTrumpet Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Hey everyone, I'm currently stuck alone due to a delayed flight till evening of Dec. 23rd and have 3 days to kill. I'm in the mood for an RPG, especially since I'm using a laptop with no mouse, and it needs to be downloadable and preferably cheap, so I'm leaning toward Mass Effect or Knights of the Old Republic. Open to suggestions, though. Knights of the Old Republic is half the price of Mass Effect, but I've never watched Star Wars, and so was wondering everyone's suggestion given this fact. Dragon Age is tempting, but really expensive at 2.5 times ME's price. Thanks!
Gizmo Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 If you've got no mouse I wouldn't recommend Mass Effect, so go with KoTOR.
Nolan Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 I'd recommend Fallout 1 and/or 2. Available on Steam and GoG.com for Download. Otherwise, Kotor is certainly better than ME, but hardly Biowares best.
JoeTrumpet Posted December 20, 2009 Author Posted December 20, 2009 Checked out Fallout, but I think I want a not-so-grim title for the holidays, so KotOR it is. Thanks a ton, guys!
Ten10 Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 I've quite been enjoying Mass effect, but yeah third person shooting with a track pad doesn't sound like it will be too fun.
Shorty Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I came in here all raging to say Mass Effect, but on a laptop you gotta go with KoTOR methinks. They're both the same in the fashion that you pause the action to pick your attack, but ME has a bit more aim-and-shoot. If you had a 360, it would be Mass Effect for sure, although I'm not sure you would have it finished in 3 days. Plus with ME2 around the corner.... Man I can't wait for that! With that said, KoTOR was one of my favourite games of the previous generation, in my top 5 PC games ever, and it has a great sequel already
Nolan Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 ME is easily finished in 3 days, even doing the sidequests. Multiple playthroughs however...
flameboy Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I was surprised to find that KOTOR actually runs on my Samsung NC10! Oh dear..I never completed the original but boy poured some hours into the sequel. I can feel a similar addiction being repeated....
Dan_Dare Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I never finished KOTOR. the fucking asshole last boss turned out to be unkillable because I'd not leveled up any long range attack powers. I was one of those super force centric Jedi and my buff skills turned me in to an unstoppable killing machine, just long enough to make the fucker run off out of range and recharge. by the time I did this 2-3 times I couldn't stand up to him because my force powers were spent and I got rinsed. Fucking game...
Daft Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I just beat the shit out of him with my sharp metal stick.
Shino Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Kotor has a much better sense of progression than ME in my opinion. The story flows just right. The worst thing probably was that last boss, I beat him by doing force lightning and running away to recharge. Edited December 22, 2009 by Shino For some fucking reason I can't write anymore.
Nolan Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 The game glitched on me, I killed him but the door out wouldn't open and I didn't have a previous save to try and redo the battle or something. He and Bastilla just stood around like tards.
