help me please. can't decide

Guys and girls, can you tell me which game you'd choose if you were me and why.

 

I have obviously tried the free trials and still can't decide...or else why would I be posting here without trying the free trials? Doesn't that make me a lazy ass bum?

    believe 3 of the 4 have free trials, try them and play the one you most like. FF xiv only one I think that doesn't. Personally waiting for Wildstar.

    I actually can't recommend any of them.

     

    But if someone twisted your arm, and you had a bunch of movies or shows to watch while playing, I would go with WoW since it technically has the most content. But you are likely to become bored or frustrated playing it as the majority of the population is already maxed level and expects you to be geared and skilled. Plus if you decided to play on a PvP server, chances are you will be killed without any chance to fight back extremely often.

    guild wars 2 and the secret world are the most advantageous money wise ! neverwinter isn't bad either

    Which one did you like the most?

    I'd recommed WoW over SWTOR or FF XIV. The gameplay in those three is quite similar, but WoW is more polished and has more content.

    Wizard 101 is so different game that it's hard to compare to the others. You'll just have to decide whether you want card-game battles or real-time battles.

    it's a cognitive dissonance between WoW and SWtOR. You guys are right, WoW is polished, fun, smooth, and gives you a sense of awe-if you play the right class lol, hated rogue for some reason. On the other hand, SWtOR's story just keeps pushing me forward and the companion system adds a kick in it. Also, it's Star freaking Wars and nobody dislikes Star Wars.. Anyone who does is missing out in life ;) 

    So..it's such a hard decision......... *sigh*

     

    eitherway, I played the trials long ago, the experience remains fresh, but I don't quite remember how to use the UI and the skills and the crafting...anyone has a fix for this?

    sorry misread. I just read it today earlier. Turns out it was a FFXI free trial. Very sorry for the mix up.

    Switch to single player and/or a console. MMO's have never been in a sadder state then they are right now, and shouldn't be rewarded just because we're desperate.

    Yes, you're a L.A.B. However, WoW probably gives you the most content for your subscription. It is not the most current, but it's probably the most polished game, with the most solid performance.

    I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

    I have on console Mass Effect 3 and Diablo 3 but I need to revert to that ol MMO experience once in a while you know? Been on f2p games all this while and dreaming of that day when I can get on a sub account.

    Anyway, I've decided on Star Wars. Maybe when I've sub for a year or two I'll sub to Wow (can't stay in a game for long I can't. Tried it once. Near death experience. ) Appreciate all your inputs guys but I decided that Blizzard has enough cash and subs for now. Besides I have to buy their discs and that's extra, even if it's cheap now..saw an offer some  days ago. With swtor I can just pay for the 180 days package and be considered a member, please correct me if I'm wrong here.

    and btw, what do you guys think of Wildstar?
