MTJ Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 hear me out!!! They should try a FPS system where your character plants steel (or light) on the target, it actually hits them but for the damage system it should be based on your skills. They could also do that for power attacks, even a finishing move where you could theorically chop a Sith Soldier's hands off, or even head.... but that may not keep a T rating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laozi Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Haven't you play Jedi Academy and seen how sucky those games are People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world.

Darth Coran Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Haven't you play Jedi Academy and seen how sucky those games are <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Haven't you played KOTOR 1 and 2 and seen how bad the combat systems are? its rinse and repeat,over and over and over of him jump,hit,get hit,jump,hit... atleast in Academy you can do things a little differently.

Fighter Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 They should not change the style of the game so drastically. Jedi academy is good in its own way, but KOTOR is different. Plus alot of people who play rpgs dont like 'arcade' style controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakron Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Lightsaber combat is screwed in those games, far too letal and more a matter of luck instead of skill. The problem with the d20 system they put in KotOR(s) games is its a "bare bones" system that is not balanced very well ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaramirK Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 J4E has joined the Lego cult... Shouldn't Lightsaber strikes be instant kills on the average foe? I don't mind wading through cannon fodder as long as there are still some challenging battles with the jedi/sith. FPS would be bad, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if they were to make it a hybird combat system, they would never ever make it like JK:Academy. JK:A usually is all about jumping around like a rabbit attempting to slash people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaramirK Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I didn't say it should be a full FPS system.. And I said I don't want a FPS!

Stargate: 2000 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I think using any part of the FPS system would completely suck. If I wanted to play a FPS then I would go and buy one but since I don't then I think they should leave this style of combat in the KOTOR series till the end, maybe refine it a little (saying that is possible) but generally keep the system the same.

Plano Skywalker Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I've been playing 3rd Age and, I have to say, the combat system is pretty good. It is True Turn Based and it is based on a 1,000 pt scale (I think that's right). Maybe that is what we need: old-fashioned turn-based combat based on a 1,000 pt scale (to keep it interesting at the higher levels). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haitoku Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Lightsaber combat is screwed in those games, far too letal and more a matter of luck instead of skill. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I like the lethal aspect of the JO/JA lightsaber fighting... What I hate though (online play atleast) is the fact that Duels are soo lame... They aren't even duels... more like, jumping around until you connect a Power stance attack. It would be awsome if there was an engine that could give us a more civilized way to lightsaber duel. Anyhow @ Topic. FPS + Kotor = bad Imagine how the AI would work. NPCs running all over the place, using random sabers attacks to hit enemies... Some more tweaking to the current battle system would be nice... Maybe some walking fightning, crouching attacks, etc. Just some add ons, while still keeping the current rules of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
