[KotOR2: What a disappointment...]

If KotOR2 is any indication of what we can look forward to, I'll pass.

 

Until KotOR1 was released, NWN: Hordes of the Underdark was the best looking and playing PC game I'd seen.

Both are BioWare products by the way. Coincidence?

[KotOR2: What a disappointment...]

Nothing new here I know, but I've been wanting to voice my feelings about KotOR2 for a while now.

Based on KotOR1, I had high hopes for this sequel and eagerly awaited it's arrival, buying a copy as soon as it hit the shelves at Wal-Mart.

It began giving me problems immediately, and it required several visit to this forum and three installs to get it to run at all. Then came the crash to desktop problems, the "black screen" cut-scenes, the freezes, the broken and mixed-up story lines, my player character getting stuck, etc., etc., etc.

Maybe KotOR1 got my hopes a little high, but I sure expected better than this, especially for nearly $60 (US).

Do I blame Obsidian? YES! Do I blame LucasArts? HELL YES!

You would think that both companies would have a vested interest in making sure the product they released was up to minimum standards at least, but I guess not.

It's just my opinion, but nothing about this game was worthy of it's predecessor.

Yes, I played it through, and it was a dissapointment at every stage.

There is supposedly a patch in the works, but I have my doubts that any so-called patch can fix this clunker.

KotOR1 was the best PC game I've ever played, bar none. KotOR2 isn't the worst, but it is definitely the most disappointing.

Now I hear that Obsidian is working on a sequel to the second best PC game I've ever played, NWN. I do believe I'll hold-off on buying it until I read some comments about it in the forums here.
