So I guess everyone pretty much thought that KOTOR was too easy combat wise. But to finally settle the REAL question which is would you rather have a game maker spend alot of time to make combat more challenging or would you rather they keep combat easy and focus on the more important stuff like storyline and such. I don't know this, But I think it took Bioware 3 years to make KOTOR because they spent alot of time on the engines......combat being one of them. I would vote no because RPG's are interation games at which storyline and such matter alot more than combat. FPS style should be the challenging ones in the way of combat because basically, the FPS style game is ALL combat. :ph34r:

I want to less combat, and tougher combat. Not more combat and tougher combat. I want less fighting, but the fights that are there to be memorable.

Indeed..

... or would you rather they keep combat easy and focus on the more important stuff like storyline and such.

Said it yourself, really

Story. The combat might be salvageable, but I don't want it saved at the expense of story.

I want shorter combat, so I don't have to look at a bunch of dorks standing in one place shooting lasers at each other for 5 minutes.

I want longer combat. Besides you wont have the problem of it looking stupid, since the characters will have a new animations.

Storyline is why I play RPGs. Combat is secondary. If they have time, sure, tweak the combat, but not at the expense of the story. A move like that would make me want to wrap someone up in Saran wrap and set them on fire.

Just get proper balance in the gameplay, making everyone happy no matter how good or bad the player is.

lucas art should get team ninja to a jedi gaiden game.

I second that Jaberwoki that would be too cool.

You really think this is an all or nothing feature? It is very easy to make combat challenging. It is not like adding a z-axis or something. The ease of combat in KOTOR had nothing to do with the ENGINE (no S) though it isn't the best engine for combat in the world it can do the job fine. It was a combination of fights being made deliberately less challenging for more casual players and not enough balancing done by the developers. Of course if we had to choose between combat or story we'd rather have story. Luckily this isn't a one or the other deal. It's very possible to have both.

Well said.

 

Though I hope they up the AI a little bit.

They're in the implementation phase; it's sort of a given that they've already written out the story.

 

"Okay guys, start coding and modeling!"

"What?"

Servant of Eru have you got any pic ect to prove your development?

I really liked Jedi Power Battles...coop SW game...I wish Lucas Arts would have an Episode II game almost like LOTR Return of the King game EA put out. Maybe be able to pick from Anakin,Obi Wan, Mace, Yoda, Plo, Ki-Adi...just a thought but I know I'm dreaming <_<
