This Could Just Be The Best Game Ever.

<div class="IPBDescription">Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic</div> Ok, I'm still only 1/3rd of the way through ONE OF the good side full stories, and I've got 25 hours into the mix.

I still have about 5-10 different versions of the story to try and go through.

The games graphics kick ****.

The gameplay is kickass.

The story kicks major ****.

And the character customization kicks ****.

This game kicks ****.

PLEASE, GO BUY IT IF YOU HAVE A XBOX, OR GET IT WHEN IT GOES PC! YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED!

And just to let you know....yes, the more blades on the lightsaber, the more damage. But do realise only 1 lightsaber(I use 2, personally) does 2nd most damage, second to the double sided saber, and 2 lightsabers do the least, but its easier to defend with them.

    Definitely waiting for this to go PC before I buy it. I'm sure it's good on XBox, but I prefer my PC.

    Besides the fact that I don't fancy dropping $200 on an XBox and all the accessories. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'm not sure wether to grab this or Jedi Academy. Mostly I'm more tempted to get Academy when its released because of the multiplayer aspect.

    I managed to rent a copy the day it came out. Beat it about 4 days later (it's summer, I have lots of free time...) As an evil (I was good/neutral, but a plot turn made me **** at the jedi concil so...pfffft). If you go to the bioware site they tell you about how to get a secret ending and stuff, suggest you go there.

    He's perfectly correct though. Anyone who likes: Star Wars, Good Games, RPG's, Lightsabers, Good Stories or Action should play this game. My cousin, who hates RPG's bought it because he wanted to see the lightsabers and he's actually playing through it (says he's enjoying it to).

    It's fairly freeform, the story's interesting and the battle system is fairly well made (couple things I'd change). I'll buy it eventually.

    It uses D&D based rules, you can get 2 one-handed lightsabers to do the most damage if you invest in your feats into two handed battling (which helps with the double bladed ones too). Dueling is for holding one weapon, it's useful too. You suffer a -6/-4 to hit penalty when you dual wield. The feats can reduce it to -2/0 I think. It's effectively 0/0 penalty if you use a normal and short lightsaber. Maybe that'll help you in some way.

    <span style='color:red'>*Gameplay SPOILER*</span> <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:gray'>If you don't get the destroy droid force power the last battle will take longer, they take out some stuff the boss uses. </span></span> It's still doable though.

    Awesome game, right up there with Halo (even though they're completely unrelated).

    The game sounds good, but I'm not much of a Star Wars Fan, and there's only certain Console Games that keep me entertained, this does not look like one of them.

    Well, I'm not much of a Star Wars fan either. In fact, I don't like ANY of the future-non-gritty stuff. But this...its just good. Just plain, damned, good.

    It depends, is the gameplay like Morrowind? Go anywhere, talk/kill who you want, and is it vast? I like that.

    Its not exactly like that, its a TON more linear(mostly because morrowind you can do anything...its like the real world...), but its freeform enough to really make a difference.

    Linear doesn't suit me to well, but since it's a Console game, that's an exception.

    I dont understand why XBOX games never use Anti-Aliasing (Knights of the old republic for example). It's annoying watching all the crusty lines for shadows knowing that they could have gotten rid of those...RAWR
  • SirusSirus Join Date: 2002-11-13 Member: 8466Members, NS1 Playtester, Constellation
    I'll buy it. Now that I actually have alot of money.

    LOL Ever played Star Fox Adventures? It's the same thing in SF:A, but it's SO noticable.

    Well someone I know did some illegal things and has played JK3 already.

    He said that the SP is okay, but the missions get monotonous without developing the story line enough. Of course, the only thing he commented on was the SP, because MP isn't currently finished, but who knows. They might even change the SP a bit before release, so I guess this was a thoroughly worthless post. Unless they don't change the SP at all.

    It uses a Tweaked version of the Aurora engine (Neverwinter nights) Id say it has a damn good chance to come to PC, Unless evil microsoft made it a Xbrick exclusive title.

    (Edit: nights, not knights >_<

    Thats kind of what I expected. Jedi Outcast was a piece of crap, with exception to the awesome saber duels and multiplayer, and them adding akimbo sabers and saber staffs is just gonna make it so frickin cool, with exception to SP.
