jaguars4ever Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 KotOR was a classic which will probably go down in gaming's hall of fame. Can TSL be just as good? Or does TSL promise to surpass KotOR in every conceivable way? I for one hope this sequel isn't destined to the mediocrity of diminishing returns...

Director Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 While KoTOR was good, there were things that could have been better. More conversation between party NPCs, and the ability to turn them to the Dark Side, (or the side of goodness and fluffy bunnies), would have made it better. I'm hoping, (really, really hoping), that the storyline for TSL will be as good, and if the NPCs are as good, and the interactions even better, I hope it will get me over the fact that it looks and plays exactly the same. I have low hopes for the minigames, I was bored with each in under 30 seconds, and I know that they won't have changed very much. (Actually taking the Turret game out completely might be a good idea). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carth Vader Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I'm hoping for "As good as KotOR" at the very least. I'm probably the only person in the world who liked the "Turret game". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD GRAVEN Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 From the preview movie clips the graphics are similar but i can see the tweeks i think overall and the new bits and pieces put into it intriguing me just a taste of the darkside for kotor2 to wet my apetite lol. The choice of many chars to join u ls ds affected is kool party split up adds so much more to the game. and the fight scenes look better than kotor 1. mini games i dislike cause i was never any good at them my best time on tattoine was in the 22:70's and i had to beat 22:50's i think.

rika Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I think TSl will be as good as the originally, hopefully better. I must be one of the few who actually liked all the minigames - yes even that monotonous turret game. I enjoyed playing Pazaak because it gave me a gambler's high similar to one in real life, too bad I couldn't bet Zaalbar or Juhani. I also enjoyed the swoop racing because of the prestige of becoming Taris, Tatooine, and Manaan champion, and once you got the hang of the track, you could beat the best times with a few tries. I hope in TSL to get to know my NPCs better with more subquests. I also would like to experience the cities and areas better by having standalone quests that we could do for money or experience. And I want cutscenes with a more movie feel to them - with nuances in the scenes that you have to watch carefully for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthRevan987 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Better then KOTOR...or atleast as good...I liked the Turret Game like the first two times i had to do it...Seeing as how i beat the game like 20 times i hate it now...Gotta do it everytime you leave a planet almost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starwarskid15_19 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 from the sounds of things its gonna be better. i like the darker story line, the multiple sith lords, more than 10 possible npcs, korriban isnt a nice place to visit and other things like the master apprentice relationship. it sounds a lot better than kotor to me the force is what gives a jedi his power. its an energy field created by all living things. it surrounds us and penetrates us. it binds the galaxy together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Master D Murda Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I think it will surpass K1, or at least I hope so. They have flowing robes, and hooded robes... what more can I ask for!!! (w00t) The game will be as good as it's story. There need not be no big twist for a good story so hopefully that will be the case here. With the additions of new feats, force powers and a whole bunch of other things I think that K2 will be very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starwarskid15_19 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 anyone think it can get game of the year? i mean theres some tough competition this year but i think its got a good chance the force is what gives a jedi his power. its an energy field created by all living things. it surrounds us and penetrates us. it binds the galaxy together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOTORFanactic Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 First off, I think KOTOR2 will be better than KOTOR (w00t) :D Second, it may not get as many awards as the original, but ti should still get plenty of awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Hades Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I expect KotOR 2 to be the same as KotOR 1. Graphically impressive, munchkin styled classes, easy combat, with an interesting if not predictable story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripleRRR Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I'm hoping for "As good as KotOR" at the very least. I'm probably the only person in the world who liked the "Turret game". <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I liked it too, though I thought it was too easy.

Hallowed_be_thy_name Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 TSL will surpass its predessor in the technical side of things(graphics, sound etc.), and will enhance certain areas of gameplay(more classes, more NPC interaction etc.). However, it will most likely lack the inspiration and excitement of the original. This holds true for most sequels, though there are exceptions(and i pray TSL will be one of them) I still reckon it's still going to be a good game and i will buy it.

Rosbjerg Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 true .. when I think of great sequals I always think of the BG series! I loved every one of them .. and I hope TSL will bring me as much enjoyment as any of those games! and I will settle for nothing less .. (hope I won't be dissapointed) - Rosbjerg Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShinIchiro Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 It looks like it's going to be better, but so many people are hyped about it their expectations and hoeps are so high that the game will be a dissapointment to alot of people no matter how good it is.

Ghangy Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 i am afraid we'll be a bit dissapointed in the storyline.... but i am still gonna buy coz playing kotor over and over again (about 20 times now) starts to get boring so i want new areas and enviroments to kill in (w00t) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baneblade Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 As most sequels I expect KOTOR II:TSL to FAIL miserably. It'll probably be inferior to KOTOR. This is based on the fact that the main changes are prestige classes and level cap increase(which usually is used in the attempt to hide the fact that the STORY can't carry the game). Not that the story in KOTOR I was that good, but the HYPE on KOTOR II is greater as are our expectations and therefore it'll be more difficult for the game to live up to them. hence, we'll be disappointed with it. I hope i'm wrong... ...but hoping seldom makes it so. "If at first you don't succeed... So much for skydiving." - Henry Youngman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
