Originally posted by C'jais But I think we need some sort of hybrid. More lightsaber fights than JK, but way less than in JO and JA, where you were almost elbow-deep in broken cultists and gutted reborns. Something like 3 dark jedi each level, with...  [Read More]

I agree with you, Peregrine. The only cultists that seemed to have any defining character at all were those who protected Rosh. While I enjoyed the saber combat in JA...by the end I was thinking 'not another cultist' *sigh* I've said it elsewhere, b...  [Read More]

To be frank, I would have much preferred the Rodian to speak just like Greedo in ANH - and have subtitles pop up on the screen in translation. That would have felt very Star Wars to me... Each race should have had it's own inflections and subtle nua...  [Read More]

I largely used the saber, but I did mix it up with some gun action where appropriate. I'm a sniper-type too, so I chose the Disruptor for nearly all the missions. Then to add some variety, I'd sometimes pick the Bowcaster, other times the Conc, and t...  [Read More]

Yes, there should have been more focus on the Academy. I played Elite Force II not long before playing Jedi Academy, and I stated at the time how good it was when you returned to the Enterprise, heard people chatting - or when you visited Starfleet...  [Read More]

Yeah, it does seem a bit odd that the slash animation for a cartwheel was nerfed, considering you still deliver damage... I can't see any good reason why it would be omitted. Another question for the devs, I suppose......  [Read More]

My best advice is to try a number of different servers. The nearest is not always the best option. When I was on 56k, I got better pings on servers in Denmark, and I live in the UK. A good little utility for tracking lots of servers to see their pin...  [Read More]

I went with my gut instinct and voted for Kyle. I thought he was used quite well in JA...but at the same time, he could have given you more insights into 'why you should use the Force this way and not that way.' Of course, he still needs a change of...  [Read More]

It's hard for me to pick a favourite - I liked most of DF's levels. I suppose I could mention a few of the levels I liked least... Ramses Hed - it just didn't feel much like being on a big ship. Coruscant - just didn't feel right in terms of desig...  [Read More]
