<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, i don't want them to say 'when its done' like all the devs say right up to the point of going gold or in this case, being shipped. Technically, Kotor II has gone gold when it came out for the US X-Box, so it won't go gold again. (it would be cool if it went platinum. lol) Or Spaceball 1... they went to Plaid!

Because they are the RPG's I own on PC (if FF8 even counts because it is a port).

I started 8 a long time ago and did not like it at all. But the same thing happened with 7. I first played it and hated it but now I am enjoying 7. I just bought fallout 1 and 2 in a pack. So I was wondering which one do you guys think I should play?

Got the Republic Commando demo disc in the mail today. I'm doubtful I'll load it up.

Yay. Let's put another shrimp on the Barbie!!!

At least one thing George is. And that is an excellent business man.

O.K. I will. I'm on the second disk now.

I'm thinking that an Early Feb. release for TSL is looking doubtful. If it hasn't gone gold yet the earliest it could come out is like the 16th.

Well I did play the game when I first bought it. I stopped playing right after I hit disk 2. I stopped playing because I was bored with the battles. I started playing it recently and am actually enjoying it (minus most of the battles) for the story. I was at Gamefaqs to see what that locker combination was in shinra mansion because I was too lazy to search for it the real way.

What was the official reason why the PC version was delayed. Did they try to hide it by saying that the delay would help the PC version, or did they not even try and say "we are delaying it so XBOX can get it first?"

Thats because KOTOR isnt a fraction as popular as FFVII or a fraction as difficult. Not using a lightsaber in KOTOR not a huge deal, some melee weapons are more powerful. I did my first game with an armoured Jedi with an AC of 50 ish and nothing could touch him. Force powers were just something to add some variation to the combat.Armour cuts off about 80% of force powers anyway. The only stumbling block was Maleks cheesey end battle, but that just meant having to fight him 7 or 8 times and healing up when he ran off. If you read the KOTOR boards most people seem to be into powerbuilds and making the game even easier than it is and KOTOR is a very easy game to begin with. I replayed it over the weekend to get into practice for KOTOR II and basically walked it. I assume you are familiar with holding your levels so you can have a 2/18 whatever? Being able to complete Taris at level 2 is quite doable and yet your actually supposed to leave Taris at level 8 or even level 9... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I did go through KOTOR and got off of Taris as a level 2 scout. I died a couple of times in KOTOR. In FF7 (I am playing now and am about to hit the second disk so I haven't completed the game yet) is a complete breeze. The battles have no absolute thought to them. I just hold down the fight button and when some one gets low on health just have Aeris heal them. I don't see where you say FF7 is more difficult than KOTOR. Unless FF7 gets super difficult on the second and third disk, FF7 is embarrassingly easy. KOTOR I atleast had to put a little thought into some of the battles.

Actually they are more examples of people with too much time on their hands.. Most are totally irrelevent because they say level to 99 (max level in FFVI) where in normal play you wont pass 50 or 60. I've played all the FF's bar 3 and never reached 99. These faqs are also written by people who play games into double figures. Try playing FFVII low level challenge without prior experience and see how far you get :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's a good point. I didn't think of that. But yeah I guess my point is you don't really see that for KOTOR. You don't see the "no lightsaber, force power, low level walkthru because the game was not a complete breeze.

I was at gamefaqs the other day. I wandered into the Final Fantasy 7 faq listings. I saw faqs for 1. Initial Equip walkthru 2. Low level walkthru 3. Initial Equip low level walkthru 4. No materia walkthru 5. Lone player walkthru and my favorite 6. Initial equip, low level, no materia lone player walkthru. All of these faqs are examples of a game with very poor game balance. A game should not be designed where players need to create ways to entertain themselves. These faqs are just hints that players are crying out for games you just can't breeze through with ease.

Thanks Hades

I guess what we will have to do is play through it through the first time normal. Play the game as the developers intended. See how the game works and then change the game to play to our difficulty enjoyment level.

Do you guys know how I can mod KOTOR myself? Is it difficult and what tools are out there for me?

Thanks Jag. I guess I'll just play it normal.

Anybody know if there is any way I can tinker with TSL so that I can make level 20 the limit for all the people in my party, before I start playing the game.

I would really say I'm a true gamer. Just in the last month I have played, Madden 2005, Final Fantasy 7, CounterStrike Source, Doom 3, Command and Conquer Generals, Warcraft 3, KOTOR, Ogre Tactics, Mario 64, and a game of monopoly. Texas Holdem tomorrow night.

Do you guys think they should review games and then if an important patch is released re-view the game again? I mean some of the games you guys are talking about might gain a really good score after the fix.

Yeah LA abandoned KOTOR 3 a while ago. It would make sense that they are working on it now. But if they aren't we wouldn't see the game till 2007 at the earliest. KOTOR 3 I say will most definately have a new engine. I say just license the Source engine and be done with it to save some time. (or the DOOM 3 engine would be good for lightsabers. The lighting would look gorgeous.)

So when you put it on hard there is a decent challenge? That's cool. Is it about the same as KOTOR? Because I only played KOTOR on hard and never tried normal or easy.

I am actually playing Final Fantasy 7 for the first time right now on my computer.

Pain and Suffering is what happened.

Looks like I am going to have to do a very hard thing my first time through. I will have to keep my character at level 20. I will have to stop the urges of clicking that lovely L on the portrait. It will be hard but I think I can do it. It doesn't help that everytime you walk into a new room that level up sound goes off. I'm like Pavlov's dogs and drool everytime I hear that noise.
