And I thought my 5 times completed, 7 times semi-completed was a lot. How can you guys play it so many times?

GhostofAnakin Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 They're probably kids with no social life. I've only complited KOTOR 4 times-> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL I'm an adult with no social life (well, except when my friends make me do stuff) and an abundance of free time, but I just can't play through KOTOR that many times and I consider KOTOR my favorite game of recent memory. Once I'd exhausted most dialogue options and variations of play throughs (male, female, LS, DS, different combos of both), I just couldn't play through any more knowing exactly what was going to happen next.

It's easier for the kids to loose themselves into the game. when you're no longer able to pull 30+ hour gaming sessions, you know you're old. P.S. there are allways exceptions.

The Yeti of 66 Posted November 1, 2004 Author Posted November 1, 2004 I'm a kid with not much to do a lot of the time, and I havn't beaten Kotor that many times. It just sound repetitive. I know it's got great replay value, but not that great.
envida Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 when you're no longer able to pull 30+ hour gaming sessions, you know you're old. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks now you made me feel really old (walking to mirror to check for gray hairs)
Astatine Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 I've never pulled off a 30 hour gaming session! Must have been born old Mind you I did spend all four weeks of my Easter holiday one year playing Baldur's Gate for a good 12 hours a day (having bought it on the first day of the holiday)... now that's a properly long game These days since I have a job that'd be my entire holiday allowance of the year! OTOH, I can think of worse things to do with annual leave...
Darth Ni Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 I have beaten it 5 times however I tried reinstalling it twice but never finished because i got too bored since I knew what was going to happen.

ShadowFaxIV Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 48 hours was my record on gaming. Parents left the day after I got SWKOTOR and I hadn't stopped playing. I beat the game... started it again, and when they got home said i'd just started. Then I was hugry and had to stop. Then i went to bed and stayed there for twelve hours. -There is no Light or Dark. There is only Power, and those to weak to seek it! -Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life. -I find no joy in taking the life of someone that finds no value in it. -If you only get out of life what you put into it,why not just keep it all to begin with and save a whole lot of waisted time and effort?
Stargate: 2000 Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 when I first got my game I called in all my months sick days right after that. Hell I almost lost my job because of it, mind you I REALLY hated my job so it was all good. Also my longest time playing was 39hrs straight that was the first weekend I had it. :D "The only difference between genius and stupidity is genius has its limits!" - Albert Einstein.

Jedi Master D Murda Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 I have played 43 times. I know it's OD but I can beat the game pretty quick, with all the sidequests and other stuff. It does distract me from school though but I am trying to get prepared for K2 and I'm absorbing all I can from K1's storyline.
GhostofAnakin Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 I still don't know how you guys can play through so many times, after every possible dialogue choice and outcome has become known. I loved KOTOR, but I just can't play through again when each time I enter an area I can say "yeah, this is what happens here, then this guy attacks, then i do this" without a moment's thought.

GhostofAnakin Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 It's a miracle I was able to play through KOTOR 5 times. Usually, I don't even FINISH games. Especially cRPG games. As soon as I get to the end levels and the "story" has been revealed, I get bored if all that's left is the end fight. For me, if it's an interesting story, I can probably play through 3 times. The first time I usually rush through, missing stuff. The second time I take more time and do things (side quests, talk to all NPCs) that I missed in the first run through. The third time is to exhaust all possible things to do. In KOTOR, I was able to play through an additional 2 times, probably because of the LS/DS ending and the male/female romances and whatnot. But after all that, I can't keep interested when I can literally play out each area in my head to 100% accuracy. Fan made mods helped a bit. Adding different robes and new powers were a "novelty" that helped me play through more times. But as a whole, once all things have been tried and exhausted, I move on.

KoToRfReAk Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 i have 8 different games ive beaten it 3 times

I've only complited KOTOR 4 times-> ya im a kid but i have a great social life. i hang out with my friends and go to the movies and stuff all the time but im able to pull all nighters playing it. and ive had it for a long time and when i dont have stuff to do i play it. so ur assumption about me bein a kid is true but i do have a social life its just i have free time to play to 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
Taran'atar Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Didn't keep track, but it was a lot of times. True, it does get boring after a while, but if you take a couple of months break from it and come back it's fun again. At least for me. Although that's true of most video games.
Jad'en Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 I completed it about 17 times start to finish but all as male... ive recently started female but cant continue... does it impact the story tremendously...because the only real reason i started again was to kill Carth <_<

Kaftan Barlast Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 I have far too good memory to replay a RPG. I did go back to the temple and play the Darkside ending.
