Dark Moth Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Actually, from what I heard K2 so far has been financially less successful then K1. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ummm, yeah, K1 has been out longer. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know that. I'm referring to the number of sales within a specific timeframe.
Gabrielle Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Can't be selling well, it's not in the top ten list. "
Plano Skywalker Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 I know that. I'm referring to the number of sales within a specific timeframe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> my point is simply that K2 is still bringing in the bacon and I can see where they would not want anything to trump that, including K3. I just think the conditions are right for an old-fashioned expansion pack that could, in part, be a thinly-veiled end-run around the amateur content-restoration project. It would be more than that but it would also be that.
Plano Skywalker Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 K2 is still selling well??? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> have you read anything I posted? look, I don't have hard numbers but the title is still selling at full price where I live. K1 sells for 1/2 price. I don't know but I think that suggests it is still selling quite well.
alanschu Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 I find games are much more static in their prices today. Furthermore, price reductions aren't necessary, even if a title is not selling, if you will not be requiring the inventory and, more importantly, shelf space in the near future. have you read anything I posted? Clearly I have, hence why I asked you a question? Have I read everything you have posted? No. I am not following this thread all that closely, so when there's a huge post a typically skim over it. In any case, stores in my area sell KOTOR 1 and 2 for the same price.
Plano Skywalker Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 I don't have sales numbers so I have to go on what empirical evidence I have. generally speaking, though, titles don't sell at full price in the stores I go to unless it is a hot title. Obviously, I could be right or wrong. I'm just offering up a plausible scenario: KOTOR 2 (which some believe was sabotaged to some extent) still manages to be a profitable title. IF THAT IS IN FACT THE CASE, then I think an expansion pack would make a lot of sense. No need to compete with a winner...just find more and better ways to milk the winner.
alanschu Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 I don't really think it's as much of an issue as you are trying to make it out to be though. KOTOR 2 was out very shortly after KOTOR 1, and it's not like KOTOR 3 is just going to be out in the next year.

Bastilla_Skywalker Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 thats because K1 is better. Press Teh Button
Darque Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Sith Bunny says No Kotor 3 for you. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> :cool:
Xard Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 BUNNIES! (w00t) How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)
Jorian Drake Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 If the devs who do K3 were smart, they'd ignore midi chlorons and the "wound in the force" concepts altogether. Being IMO the two stupidest ideas ever to come to SW, with the possible exception of Jar Jar Binks. Both concepts seemed little more than a lazy and ill-written attempt to explain some weird phenomena in the movie/game, while making little or no sense. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> JarJar is the favorite char for GL :D
Jorian Drake Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 (edited) I found this...what the h**l should this mean??? A movie about KOTOR?? Edited February 19, 2006 by jorian
Plano Skywalker Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Sith Bunny says No Kotor 3 for you. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought that was heresy to your ears! Ah, well, perhaps you will join in the K2 EXPANSION PACK PETITION.
Guest The Architect Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 I'm also going to introduce a new option to the list, option "n" Warning! Do not talk about K3! Just select the letter, vote, it's just a poll! No talking, just choose A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K or L, M or N How would you handle the fates of Revan and the Exile for K3? A) Kill them both off B) Play as Revan C) Play as the Exile D) Play half the game as the Exile, the other half as Revan E) Limit them to minor cameo appearences F) Both to make appearences but not be the main character or a party member G) Don't kill them off, but don't make appearences either H) Kill either Revan or the Exile off, but not both I) Start as the Exile searching for Revan and when you find him/her, have them both as main characters with two different parties and ships J) Having both Revan and the Exile as party members under a new main character K) Give Revan and the Exile major roles, but not be the main character/s or PM's L) Having Revan as the Main PC and the Exile as a party member with Revan... M) Having the Exile as the Main PC and Revan as a party member with the Exile N) Go a new main character in K3, have the Exile join your party 2/3's into the game and have Revan join your party 3/4's into the game... I'm going to add the votes "g" and "n" in because I don't mind if they do this...
Guest The Architect Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 The Latest Poll Standings Are... I (27) K (26) F (14) J (11) A (6) L (5) B (4) M (3) D (2) H (2) N (1) G (1) C (1) E (1)

alanschu Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 On a side note, why on earth would we not talk about KOTOR 3, in the only thread that the moderators would keep open regarding the topic?
