Please email me at kurgan@qwest.net with all the info you have on this problem and I'll see what I can do next week. Okay? Sorry it took so long to respond, I honestly don't visit this forum often......  [Read More]

I recently decided to pick up these wonderful games, but I wanted to get a decent flight stick to use with them. All I have right now are two gravis xterminator gamepads (which are fine for other games, but just not right for flight combat sims). An...  [Read More]

Who is being asked the questions? They don't sound very knowledgable about the game (which would be exceedingly odd if they were a Raven person who actually worked on it). Especially their answer to the Concussion rifle question. Hmmm.......  [Read More]

I will admit, the non-saber weapons in JK2 SP "felt weak" or "felt inaccurate" or else the AI were given more hit points than your average MP player. Anyway, somehow they felt "off" and I found myself wishing Stormtroop...  [Read More]

Dooku, Terminator, that screenshot you posted is OBVIOUSLY grip, notice how the Gran is clutching at his throat and hovering? It's not lightning or drain, or rage. He may have pulled the TD's as he was gripping the guy, and they missed and are floa...  [Read More]

If this were an expanded universe novel or a movie, I would assume that you'd only use the weapons of a Jedi, the Lightsaber. However, part of the plot line is that Kyle Katarn (a guy with a reputation for being both a gun-slinger and a competent sa...  [Read More]

Kurgan, no. JK and MotS were horribly unbalanced. I don't care what your strategy site says. Having six years of experience says otherwise. Obviously the site (which isn't mine btw, my strategy site is devoted to JK2, the MotS/JK one was done by His...  [Read More]

Bah, MotS didn't screw up anything, it was quite balanced. For those who say JK/MotS were "unbalanced" I suggest you take a visit to http://www.jediknight.net/hiss/ if you haven't already. Don't be so hasty... Certain powers may have been...  [Read More]

Oh great, now we have to "hug" people when we drain them (or is that grip?). ; p I liked the way grip worked in JK/MotS and JK2 was cool too. Perhaps they could do it the way Vader choked (well I guess technically it wasn't a force choke...  [Read More]

Yeah, the whole "hand gestures are necessary to use the force" thing rubs me the wrong way. Didn't Maul use the Force with one hand while his saberstaff was in the other in TPM? Didn't Vader use the Force (as said) without moving his hand...  [Read More]

Having a key server would not stop a legitimate user from making all the backups he wants. While it would not stop piracy of the game, it would severally hamper any pirates (because the main attraction of the game, Multiplayer online, would be unavai...  [Read More]

Well, whether or not to kill an opponent you've grabbed the weapon away from is up to you.. a personal "role playing" consideration more than a game convention. Should the game penalize you if you kill an unarmed enemy on the Light Side? T...  [Read More]

I can't believe the DEMP is coming back. Unless we're faced with some serious mechanical badguys, that gun just took up space in the game where a cooler gun could've gone. The DEMP2 was great for multiplayer, after all it was unblockable after all....  [Read More]

People have complained about JKII not being 'star-warsy' enough. The whole NJO reeks of Star Trek to me - this whole race of near indestructible anti-Borg (no-tech vs. all-tech) taking over the galaxy. Sure I've not followed it to its' conclusion - I...  [Read More]

While Jerec DOES use destruction in the cutscenes of JK1 (for example when Kyle rejects his offer to join him), the move he used on Rahn didn't seem like any of the Force powers in the game, rather it seems more like Level 1 Grip in JK2 (immobilize w...  [Read More]
