I have to say that I used to favor the Xbox 360, but in the past year or so, I've grown to like the PS3 more. It is more powerful, but I think in terms of games, the two systems are pretty equal. The Blu Ray is a huge bonus, IMO. Also, the media apps and the design of the UI is easier to use and...

I do love the Star Wars canon, and I think my friend and I might stay more interested in the game considering the storylines. But you're right, I do think that Rift's design is second to none. The game is just so smartly made, and the interface is just a pleasure to use.

Good point. I think we are leaning towards SWTOR.

@Talshere Thanks for the input. That was really informative. You gave me a lot to think about.

Yeah, I have a lot of fun with LoTRO. I still log on from time to time. My buddy and I are more interested in Rift/SWTOR though. New and Shiny, you know what I mean? Although, admittedly, Rift is a year old now. There are so many options out there, so we'd just like to keep it between these two...

Interesting points. How would you rate one over the other in terms of playing with a friend though? We just want to have a good time while leveling and eventually raid, together.

I've been hearing that Trion is really good on their updates and such. I also have heard that the leveling does get tedious. That seems to be the general consensus.

That's a good point about the social points. Also, I didn't know you could travel in each other's ships. That's cool.

Interesting. So if we made two different classes, either force or non-force, how would the storylines work out? Would each of us be able to participate in the other's storyline?

So my friend and I are trying to decide which game is better for us to play together. We're planning on leveling characters, and only really want to play when we both have the time to play. I've personally tried both games, and I like both for their own reasons. The deciding factor really is how...

An interesting article. I can understand where you are coming from. That sense of risk/reward is prevalent throughout a majority of RPGs and is a factor that keeps a person coming back to the game over and over again. As I'm writing this I'm pondering picking up Oblivion again, but for me...
