lol are you kidding me? Well kids can like what they want I guess but it falls under the same jurisdiction of the other made-for-the-movie-to-satisfy video game trend. Although, I did actually like Obi-Wan, better story and gameplay I guess.

Just be sure whichever you choose upgrade your feats accordingly, you'll get a massive boost in your hit ratio instead of always swinging and missing.

Yeah from the early in-game content trailer at their site, they might've switched it since then and gone in a different direction graphically. Originally it looked very different and terribly noticeable, the sabers battles looked like two cartoon characters fighting each other with oversized lightsabers lol. Sorta akin to the Clone Wars kids movie released last year.

What? lol The custom crystal you receive for your character is the best in the game, no question...it continues to upgrade with you as you level up. Nothing can come close to it.

Wow, do you actually listen to yourself post. HaloWars is an RTS not Halo the FPS, Empire at War I heard was one of the best RTS's out there. That's why I brought it up here...

Are they still making it look cartoony without the textures were used to seeing from KotOR? Last I heard it still was...the in game content I saw looked like animie lol

Once you get to Dantooine and get the custom crystal from the cave combine that with the Opila crystal. And as you level up you can go to Kreia and she'll upgrade the custom crystal for you, you'll have to unequip it from your saber first. Additionally you can try to get the Qixoni crystal from the merc on Onderon but it'll cost you a dark side point. The Qixoni (next to your custom crystal) is the best upgrade crystal in the game. On the other side of the level up screen once you or someone in your party has enough skill they can upgrade the Emitter, Lens and Cell. Ultimate Diatium Energy Cell, Expert Fencing Emitter and Ponite Lens. Voila, best lightsaber for your character.

It'll likely be ported after its initial success. I give it 3-6 months. Still, even with a port, not interested...doesn't make up for what's been left behind and really (in my opinion) bad cut from the movies kinda story If there's one glimmer of hope in all this its that Obsidian wants to make a KotOR III, after TOR maybe we'll see it...but then again if you look at the logistics of it probably not. Balls in Lucas' court.

Although I never had the chance to play them I hear Jedi Starfighter and Empire at War were solid SW games, EaW being ranked as one of the best RTS next to HaloWars. I would've like to try Starfighter and the sequels to Rogue Squadron but they fell through the cracks on me, well...that and they were only released on the Gamecube. Surprisingly though upon search most rank Republic Commando in their top 10 SW games, I didn't think the game was all that great...

Laughable when you think about it...Starkiller was an interesting character but the story and gameplay was anything but inspiring. Some cool Force powers doesn't make up for a really C- kinda game.

You can do it but eventually you'll have to choose either paths in certain key plot areas...there really is no inbetween (aside from a few dialogue choices) you'll get dark or light occurances no matter what. They do have their own specific robe in the game however. Speaking of that I was actually considering a story angle about the Grey Jedi awhile ago, I think it'd be an interesting avenue to explore creatively for a story for KotOR or otherwise in SW lore. You really don't hear much about them and they sound like interesting characters...to just walk away like that and observe, takes a special kind of Jedi/Sith when you think about it. Probably be kinda boring for a story though, not much else but observation and isolation. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Grey_Jedi

Well they did put the Death Star run in, that was pretty cool and I'm sure a personal fantasy of every SW fan. And I guess you didn't miss too much with Shadows of the Empire, it was pretty challenging though...if you like those kind of SW games and moreso were a fan of the old movies you probly like the game. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Sh...re_(video_game) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhvEaJPEuIw (Just a sample...)

If it's just greed, and KOTOR 3 is such a sure thing, why wasn't it made? Because Lucas knew there's more money to be made with the MMO audience, syncronizing things Bioware wanted to make one...there you have it. People paying monthly rates and so on offers a bigger payoff in the end. And as we know KotOR II was very messy, Lucas probably didn't want to take the gamble on a third game with Obsidian...but (in my opinion) they played the waiting game for far too long. And yeah I get it, as I pointed out its a business. Of course they're going to do what they feel will make the most for them, that is TOR MMO. I just sucks to swallow for the normal every-day-gamer

Alright fair enough, what about Shadows of the Empire? I remember when the game first came out...I was so psyched. Not bad, but not very good in the end either. Pretty good, and as I said challenging

So nobody liked Rogue Squadron?! A shame...it was fun and challenging no matter how many times you played it, something lacking out of most SW games. It you haven't I advise you play it...

Easy to say. Would it still be the case now? Lets make it more nebulous, if you were to ask every KOTOR fan if they had to choose between SWTOR or nothing, would the majority still choose nothing? KOTOR 2 came out four and half years ago. I stand my by assertion that, by this time, the majority of KOTOR fans have moved on. Would they like a KOTOR 3? Sure, who wouldn't? But you'll probably find just as many that are interested in SWTOR as there are those that feel as though they've been cheated out of KOTOR 3. It helps to put things in perspective. KOTOR 3 was canceled a long time ago. Most signs indicate that it was canceled to allow for Force Unleashed. BioWare has wanted to make an MMO, and were able to procure the license to make one in the SW Universe. I've seen no inclination that BioWare was interested in making a KOTOR 3. And here he is back again dicing up peoples valid arguements trying to make himself sound important...we've been down this road, I won't be going there with you again. I made my points and you made yours...we're never going to agree. If you'd seen the figures you'd know the KotOR franchise was much more of a success with consolers. The ratio of people who want a KotOR III compared to the TOR audience is laughable, bandwaggoners and kids even out the margin today but not fans who grew up with KotOR and made the franchise into what it is today (yeah that's right, we paid our money, grew to love the storied universe, we want a sequel). Not an experimental business enterprise by Lucas and Bioware lol. Allow me to maintain my point as well that this is Lucas' fault to begin with, pushing KotOR II out the door then having ample time to setup a KotOR III with Obsidian but chose not to ignoring what the fans wanted, KotOR III. And don't say that its not because we all know its exactly what the majority wanted, sure TSL was full of holes but it was still a good game with (in my opinion) a better underlined story that sold very well...the holes make the game what it unfortunetly is, rather unfinished but Lucas bears at the very least half of the blame for this, they were at fault just as much as Obsidian for the finished product. TSL was a good game, it could've very well been great. Obsidian wasn't even given a chance to finish what they started and clean everything up... And I say its business because who's name is on LucasArts? That's right George Lucas. If you knew anything about the man you'd know he keeps his enterprises afloat to continue to fund his empire...for future development of CGI for his movies and such endevours. Its apparently very, very expensive to make film with such technology. George gives directives to the people who run these departments, that is "make as much as you can with SW"...trust me the people on the top of the chain could careless about the storied development of KotOR, just the $$$ it produces. At the very least now (for the hope of a KotOR III) I think TOR will be a success, at least initially then if it makes enough to satisfy Lucas there's a few directions it will go in (in my opinion)... 1- (The more likely scenario) TOR comes out to lots of success, they will have delivered on all fronts (yeah I think Bioware can do it). Lucas will begin talks of a sequel and I'm sure in the process mull over a KotOR III...nevertheless it will be turned down for the sequel to TOR. The End. 2- TOR does well enough to satisfy, then Lucas will finally buckle to fan demand and talk to Obsidian. There is a God and KotOR III will be put into its (by the time we get there) 5, 6 year hiatus production. 3- TOR fails, doesn't sell enough units and draw enough attention to warrant a sequel. KotOR is dead for awhile until years later we have a pulse, (as I've pointed out) Lucas doesn't have many SW franchises that've sold as well as the series...fans still want a sequel. Lucas and Obsidian finally come together and discuss KotOR III. The game is made...finally, Amen. Bottom line- No matter how you slice it, "Bioware wanted to make an MMO"...blah, blah, blah. Its greed, its what its all masked in...the desire for Lucas and Bioware to make as much money as possible not listening or answering the pertinent question of- KotOR III. So go ahead and fire back, I'm ready but we both know its a pointless debate, you think your way and I think mine...

Doesn't matter, they need Lucas' blessing to make it...and odds are they probably won't get it. As has been clearly documented they have one directive at Lucas- To make as much money as possible fueling George's empire, that's what he wants. And trust me the majority of people who want to see TOR are PC fanboys who started this whole thought train in the first place, now every kid is jumping on board. The diehard consoler audience would crush in the fans department, but I digress not everyone fan is like this...you are correct though, what the majority wants is a KotOR III. Artistic creation is once again sacrificed for more money to be made. An ugly trend that keeps on rolling...

Yet another frustrated fan...while I agree that I do not like what Bioware has done (basically botched the franchise) I don't quite understand what your trying to achieve here. I've been there though, you've just gotta move on and hope that one day a KotOR III is made, TOR won't be cancelled...it'll make lots of money I'm sure and I guess if it does it should shine some light on a possible KotOR III. Hopefully handled by Obsidian. http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showtopic=52908

Yeah I've seen most of the restored stuff by Team Gizka already, I'm just waiting for someone to have a full playthrough when its 100% completed. As a consoler I'm out of luck playing anything in the TSL Restoration Project, and I've gotta say most of the Mods I've seen of both games are terrible...it should just be left alone. Here's probably my favorite cut content- And...bonus stuff. Info from Canderous/Mandalore about Revan- The Helmet of Mandalore- Atton's death- (Mind the animie crap)

The classics, Shadows of the Empire and Rogue Squadron. Back when SW games were actually challenging. And even though it wasn't done very well I rather liked Obi-Wan, again I like a challenge.

lol Here's a nice traditional one for Revan- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qzf23aMiU-c And a nice tribute to Nihilus-

Here's a few more I've found over the years, not my taste in music but the videos are put together pretty good and for any KotOR fan worth watching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5nLFFAEWDc I maybe know one or two more good ones, feel free to post your own

Nah just the commercial promoting KotOR I's release back in 2003, Christ its been awhile hasn't it, sometimes it seems like yesterday. That was a very hibernal August lol...

Not sure if this is permitted here, if not well...sorry, just go ahead and shut topic down if so. I've only found a few KotOR videos on the web I'd consider good, just plain tributes or some such...most are God awful but for some reason I felt like sharing this here. I guess it conveys my depression of no KotOR III. For future use feel free to share your KotOR tributes and some such.
