Can we please have a sensible method for resolving saber locks? It literally killed my mouse having to click like mad to win them. The button was never as good again and eventually i had to buy a new one. I thought the "tap like mad" game...  [Read More]

the stances were a good idea that pretty much sucked in practice... so i'd be happy if they took them out. but i know it aint going to happen. :( An Oni style progression where you learnt special moves every so often worked a lot better......  [Read More]

So, did anyone else think some of the force powers were very unbalanced in Single player? Pull, and speed especially seemed very unbalanced. Most of grunts could be beaten easily by pulling their gun away. And slowing things down in saber fights wa...  [Read More]

it did seem in JK2 that everyone was just standing there waiting to attack me. Often you would be wandering towards a room and you would hear a chorus of "there he is! stop him!" type comments. Then the MOMENT you stepped into the room they...  [Read More]

Well, they said that stealth would play a part in JKii, and then it pretty much didn't. What implementations there were turned out to be rather pointless and useless. That stun batton was a waste of time. There was no reason to walk, ever. etc......  [Read More]

one of those long rifles would be cool (as used by zam, aura sing, sandpeople etc...). Especially if it replaced the silly disruptor as a sniper rifle. different darts (knock out, poison, tracking, short-circuit) would be cool too. Grenades/detona...  [Read More]

personally, i would rather they concentrated on the FPS/TPS part of the game... things like vehicles tend to come pff as rather crummy mini-games in games like this. The AT-ST in JK2 was a good example... it was fun for about 2 minutes, but then you...  [Read More]
