FaramirK Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 THis maybe premature since the PC patch is immanent(?), but I was wondering if anyone has both the PC and Xbox KOTOR 2's and which one played more smoothly/had an overall better feel? Thanks in advance for any information.
D.C. Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 I haven't played the X-Box version, but what version did you play KOTOR 1 with? The PC version was great in KOTOR 1 and it's been refined even more to be even better in KOTOR 2.
Stargate: 2000 Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 Dare we say "Flame Bait"!!! Thats all this topic is going to become so why even bother? Everyone has their own opinion on which is better so the only way for you to make up your mind is to try both and then decide because by asking this simple question all your going to get is a lot of arguing over which is better nothing more..... saying you read past the first three or four posts that is.

Shadowace Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 i can only play RPG on a PC, useing a controler for one dosn't feel right to me
porncoaster Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 i've got both my pc version runs much better and it loads much quicker too

Thanks in advance for any information. All depends on the power of your PC. But despite that RPG's, RTS, FPS, Point-and-click adventures and simulation/god-games just play better on a PC (including KOTOR2)
FaramirK Posted March 26, 2005 Author Posted March 26, 2005 Ignore Stargate: 2000's false prophecy. I played KOTOR on both, but I don't think I want to pay for KOTOR 2 twice in its current form. If Xbox is less glichy I'll buy it, but PC is easier to upgrade. I don't think there will be a content patch, so its simply a matter of polling to see which had less technical problems.
cewekeds Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 I like KOTOR 2 on my Modded Xbox. Quick load times :D However if you have to choose if you have a good PC then that would be the way to go. Just for the patch. Other then that I can use allot of the mods for my xbox.
D.C. Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 I didn't find the PC version to be overly buggy at all...
porncoaster Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 i wouldent know where to start as far as modding goes with an xbox,i know steam for half life2 was nightmare for alot of people but i think that sort of thing is the way forward seeing that their are so many diffrent pc set ups that are out their

I was simply giving you some sage advice when it comes to buying video games. Try for yourself! I could tell you that I have the Xbox version and while I haven't had a great deal of serious problems with it, but I know of others who have had a hell of a time with it. I could also tell you that you should look into the tech support forums since they will give you a better idea of what people have been going through (ATI video cards seem to be a rather common problem). So over all the PC version is more buggy but has the ability to be modded and patched while the Xbox version is less buggy but can't be modded nor patched. So finally it comes down to the simple fact of which you feel more comfortable with, becase be it Xbox or PC you will have some problems no matter which you choose the only thing that changes is the size of the problem and how easy it is to fix.

D.C. Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 The mouse is an essential part of KOTOR, I think it would be strange playing it without it. :D
Maedhros Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 The x-box controller is an essential part of KOTOR, I think it would be strange playing it without it. :D
Judge Hades Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 When the X-Box allows me to surf the web, let me do my writing, download mods and patches, view jpeg pics and photomanipulation, as well as play my MP3s at the same time that is when I will buy a X-Box.
porncoaster Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 yeah it makes such a difrence but wireless ones are a waste of time
porncoaster Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 It's all subjective. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> jesus you just murderd this thread
cewekeds Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 i wouldent know where to start as far as modding goes with an xbox,i know steam for half life2 was nightmare for alot of people but i think that sort of thing is the way forward seeing that their are so many diffrent pc set ups that are out their <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It all depends on the game. KOTOR pc is very close to the xbox. I have used many of the PC mods on my xbox. I did have a light saber that looked like a big nerf bat. Almost didn't want to fix it. (w00t) It just comes down to a matter of taste with controls and confort. some people like chairs other like there couch. Some like the mouse/key board (which you can now hook up to a xbox) others the controller(which you can use on the pc).
jzimmy Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 the xbox version is much better except for a few times it freezes when loading
WITHTEETH Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 Haven't played the XBOX version. but w/ PC's you get mods, and upgraded graphics. load times also tend to be shorter i hear. I'm just a PC fan. good pointing it out on being subjective! Always outnumbered, never out gunned! Unreal Tournament 2004 Handle:Enlight_2.0 Myspace Website! My rig
bluerosy Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 The x-box controller is an essential part of KOTOR, I think it would be strange playing it without it. :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> really agree. nothing beats navigating kotor 2 maps with a joystick. somehow the feeling totally beats navigating with a mouse... it really makes you feel like you're right there in onderon. not to mention, if u have a huge tv like i do.............. woot. (my family had to stop watching their silly cooking shows for awhile... haha!) xbox rules man. but i'm going to start playing kotor 1 pc version soon... borrowed it from my boyfriend. lets see how that goes.

Archangel Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 if there is a person that says that the xbox is much better than the pc, doesn't know nothing about games, nothing about the xbox, nothing about PCs, nothing about technology, nothing about anything...
Haitoku Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 Let's say PC is a pretty good one. PC Pros - * Better Graphics * Better Sound * Better Load times * Better Controls (imo) PC Cons - * Very unstable Atm * Un-optimized engine for newer hardware XBox Pros - * Just pop in the DVD and play * XBox Cons - * Some problems with Modded XBox, permenant bugs (Because Ms won't allow patches over XbL). * 640x Resolution (Crap by most PC standards) And I know, some of you are thinking, "I can hook up my xbox to ub33r Tv!!1!!" However, I'm sure a lot of us PC users are hooking are GPUs to are own TVs (I'm playing mine on my HDTV )
