Aion? or Fallen Earth?

[AkJay]

I'm having some trouble with this decision. I have been looking for a good MMO, and both Aion and Fallen Earth look good, they both come out on the same day, and i am having a lot of trouble deciding which one to purchase, what do you think, Escapists?

 

[Radeonx]

Get neither and wait for The Old Republic. That's just my opinion, though.

Anything you specifically want out of either the games?

Get neither and wait for The Old Republic. That's just my opinion, though.

You do realize as hyped as it is, they aren't going to have anything different then any other game except OMG JEDIS! It's not like they found the secret holy grail of taking out constant grinding.

Just a fun time, both games are very different, except for the fact it's an MMORPG, but Aion looks beautiful and more complete then Fallen Earth, but Fallen Earth has the post-apocalyptic setting i love so much, it also has guns, but a more (what seems like) complicated system of abilities.

And another person completely ignores the story element. Do some research. It is different.

EDIT: And for the record, I agree with Radeonx.

WoW is still No. 1 in my opinion..but i would choose Aion because i don`t really like the art style of Fallen Earth..and i think Fallen Earth will be like Age of Conan..after the 1 free month or so, people won`t be coming back

I would go with Fallen Earth.
A)I love MMOs with guns, I thought Tabula Rasa was excellent mostly because if it combat system.
B)It seems like the main reason your choosing Aion because of graphics, and even though I'm a graphics junkie that's not the best reason for MMOs. And as for completeness, that will soon become irrelevant because MMO's always add more content.
C) Also complicated system of abilities is nice because EVE has proven no matter how complicated a system is, if you play it enough you will get it. And once you do, you'll e able to much more with that system.

Fallen Earth looks fugly, steers fugly, has an ugly interface and unusable map. It also manages to successfuly show the boredom and agony of the post-apocalyptic world.

I'm starting my Aion play (I mean, I was in betas, but they don't count, now do they?) tomorrow at 9pm. Late, but I have 5 days of headstart.

Oh, so the whole fully voiced thing and an actual storyline mean nothing to you? As well as being developed by the people who have arguably made the best Western RPGs over the past few years? KOTOR, Jade Empire, Mass Effect?

Aion has fully voiced in English storyline quests. Not every quest can be voiced, of course. And I don't think TOR will have it, too.

Define me an actual storyline. Guild Wars had one. [i/]Oh but that's not a real storyline[/i]. So what? Bioware hasn't shown you their storyline. Mass Effect was essentially bad guys are coming back to eat humanity. Lovecraft and 1000 other people beat them to it. As for fully voiced actors, again I ask so what? Most people you interact with are going to be other players (are at least I would HOPE so), so much voice acting will depend on whether other people will have mics.

OH GOODY! I'll be killing 1000 sewer rats, but at least I'll have proper motivation?

Have you even watched the gameplay video they released? Every single class has their own personal Knights of the Old Republic length storyline. That means the game will be like that. Did you enjoy that game? Then you'll most likely enjoy TOR, because it'll be that where some people can cross over into another person's story.

I highly suggest you watch the video before you start bashing the game. You're only making yourself sound like a sarcastic prick that doesn't know what he's talking about.

OH Goody, my little question has now turned into a fucking fanboy Star Wars rant, how about you actually give me an answer on your opinion of the 2 games I'm choosing from, instead of instigating a flame war, eh?!

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

Fallen earth is what I'll pick. The PA setting is just too tempting to pass up. That's why I'm going for APB and The Secret World, the settings are original and just look like they would be tons of fun.

yes. also, you can fly in aion. plus, there is almost no grinding. the main story quests in aion pretty much elevate you there solo.

In case you didn't notice, I gave you my opinion. Wait for The Old Republic. If you want another, I'd say play WoW. Those other games may be good, but WoW is the best out there right now.

So please, don't be a dick about things, eh?

Your personal insults reflect badly upon you, and the rules. Also, i do not WANT The Old Republic, because i hate Star Wars and anything Star Wars related, i know it's hard to fathom with a fanboy like you, but i want either Aion or Fallen Earth, i've played WoW for years and quit, so how about YOU stop acting like some high and mighty god!

I'm NOT acting like some high and mighty god, you apparently just felt like putting me on that pedestal! I didn't know you hated Star Wars (and by the way, I don't care if people don't like Star Wars, I'm not some idiotic fanboy, I realize people like different things) and I didn't know you had already played WoW. It's not my fault you assumed I'm psychic.

It's not about you being psychic, it's about me giving you two options ,and starting a flame-war with pantsoffdanceoff, and you say you understand that people like different things? well then, please explain why you started arguing frivolously with PantsOff because he said he didn't like TOR or thought it was going to be overhyped, hmm?
