Won't live up to it's hype?

[Craigboy2]

You know how people hated Fable because it didn't live up to it's hype?, do you think that could hapeen to kotor2?

[starwarskid15_19]

i hope it will live up to the hype but i doubt any game ever is as good as it sounds. i think k2 will be close to bein as good as it sounds.

[Darth Abomination]

We'll have to wait and see I guess

[nightcleaver]

Well, TSL hasn't claimed superiority over all other RPG's, so I think it's probably going to come a lot closer to it's "hype" when put next to fable. The only hype I've seen for this game is that it'll have a lot more features than the first, and is a sequel to the game of the year. I have absolutely no reason to think either is false, and it would be amazing if it was. Most of the features have been confirmed as in that they've suggested were in so far.

[KOTORFanactic]

The only hype i hav heard is bascially about the number of new feats and force powers.

Somehow, unless Obsidian start hyping this to be the greatest game of all time (dont worry that wont happen), TSL will, or will come close to living up to its own hype.

We're hyping it up though, I'm expecting TSL to be the best game for ages

[KOTORFanactic]

As am I

I beleive KOTOR to be the best game ever.

Soon I will beleive KOTOR2 to be the best game ever.

[Ghangy]

since i am only expecting kotor 2 to be as good as kotor 1, i am hoping to be happily suprised when i play kotor 2

[GhostofAnakin]

I think it'll live up to expectations. I don't think anything outlandish was promised, so it's not like there are these impossible-to-implement features that will be left out. I think most fans just want a good story combined with the rest of the features that made KOTOR I a good game. If that can be met, I don't see much problem of not living up to its hype.

[Jad'en]

All i see is an improvement on game of the year:)

Well there's one expectation about release date...but let's not go there again.

 

 

I agree that there's a risk of it being a dissapointment, but I find it more probably that it will be a great game. Especially considering how much work Obsidian seems to have put into it.

[Catalyst]

I don't think any game can live up to everyone's expectations, but you can still get a damn good game. I strongly believe TSL will be one of these.

[starwarskid15_19]

by bringin those release date issues up youve already gone there

[GhostofAnakin]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Yeah, but that has nothing to do with expectations about the game itself.

I actually meant it kind of jokingly... I would defend that statement of mine but I'm tired of that battle...so nm.

I'm upset about the whole simultaneous release thing as well, but I just don't see how a broken promise about the release date will have an impact on the features that we've been promised in game.

ok...if you guys insist on my participation on this...

 

This thread, though it was assumed by many, never specified that it dealt with only the features. The simul release was an expectation for the game, promoted

by LA. That was part of its hype, though not having to deal specifically with gameplay.

 

 

Now I've said my statement and will not continue down this dangerous path any longer.

 

 

 

Game hype...I was sure KOTOR would dissapoint me (because my expectations were almost impossibly high) , though it didn't gameplaywise.

[Laozi]

I didn't really know much about KOTOR when it first came out, I've pretty much been disappointed with every "you can be a Jedi" game so I had no reason to really learn much about the game.

KOTOR2 is shaping up to be pretty much everything you could want in a sequel, except maybe being larger, but I guess theres always KOTOR3

[Volourn]

I expect it to be as good as KOTOR1 quality wise; but with a tad less rough edges so it should be a little better than KOTOR1; but no masterpiece. Don't epcect something brand new folks. It's a sequel to KOTOR. Nothing more; nothing less.

[rika]

I expect TSL to live up the gaming experience I had with Kotor 1. No less, and would pleasantly be surprised if more.

[Exar_Kun]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

my thoughts as well, all TSL is is a KotOR 1 with some new features and a new story, everything that made the first game great is still intact

[Judge Hades]

KotOR was a decent game, but hardly the best game ever. Far to limiting in character development and creation and far too linear to be anywhere in that catagory. KotOR is a good cinematic CRPG and nothing more. I expect KotOR2 to be the same. Good, but nothing revolutionary.

If you are looking for non-linear gameplay, try Deus Ex : Invisible War. It is an RPG, FPS mix but the fighting system is FPS...

[Jast]

Expect no more and no less then what you got from Kotor, that way you'll be blown away.

Or then there is Morrowind.....big yes.....linear yes, Every damn tomb looked the same, every damn ruin looked the same, every damn cave looked the same, excellent to start with, then becomes boring. Variety is the spice of life! KotOR kept the variety going....sort of.
