Doctor Shaft, I agreed with you all the way up until the last paragraph. Auto or manual blocking aside.. the potency of blocking is scarcly adequate for this game. In SP, (where blocking is the best), the fact still remains that givin the right situa...  [Read More]

Not sure if this has been said or not.. there is manual blocking in JKII with console commands. All they do is when you press the button you assign to block, you cannot attack and you use the same ol' auto blocking. Its the same as just leaving auto...  [Read More]

This place (http://www.gamesdomain.com/gdreview/depart/apr03/jedi.html) said that there was a demo of JKIII shown at a Madison, Wisconson press conference. If the peeps at Raven browse this forum, would it be at all possible to release this demo some...  [Read More]

Both will be equally important to me. I want to have a great SP experience, but I also want to jump online and share it with other peeps. I think what's going to count in this game is making SP and MP the same game. A challenge I really hope Raven is...  [Read More]

I suppose "slow down" is the wrong word for it. In SP, my big complaints were how the enemy AI's animations didn't always start animating until it was already too late for defense. The enemy's saber animations were extremely jerky, causing...  [Read More]

Originally posted by Prime I agree with what your saying about MP and SP fighting, and they should be quite similar. However, there are lots of issues with MP saber fighting (like lag and so on) that you don't have to worry about in SP. I'd like MP...  [Read More]

o_o I don't want slow mo fights. If "slow the game down" being in caps provided too much contrast and moved your eyes away from "Slow it down by micro amounts", I'm sorry. Slow motion fights would not be.... good. If it were me, I...  [Read More]
