Well, here's hoping that the "enhancements" include less uber-moves, more depth to the combat, better blocking code, and true lethality. Damage should not be dependent upon how fast or hard you swing a sabre. All hits should be equal in dam...  [Read More]

Mike, Welcome back. I've been hoping you guys have been perusing the forums some, taking a look at the critiques, gripes, and praises of JK2. I'll admit I've posted my fair share of the former, but I've always done so in the hopes that the suggesti...  [Read More]

Intriguing... If this is real, here's hoping Raven doesn't screw this one up. A few hints on how to make JKIII more fun than JKII in multiplayer: 1.) MORE GAME MODES. And more DIVERSE game modes. Don't just stick us with more of the same old DM-bas...  [Read More]

Yeah, it's SP only. I meant that it'll play similar to NWN, and you could release modules for it like NWN. That would increase the gameplay, even though it's SP only....  [Read More]

From what I've seen of KOTOR, it looks like it may end up like Neverwinter Nights, in that it's possible to write your own modules to continue SP gaming. Unfortunately, the modules written for Neverwinter Nights have been all MP modules, requiring mu...  [Read More]

Well, maybe you're right about the DF games, then. The should keep releases in relative continuity to the previous games, definitely. Maybe an Obi-Wan sequel or an entirely new series of FPS shooters IN ADDITION to DF games are what is needed. Person...  [Read More]

See, right there, you prove my point Al & razorace, at least on the asymetrical stuff. Al said that lavagiant seemed to favor the blue team, in terms of defense and sniper positions. The blue team had limited protection with its small turrets, so...  [Read More]

Not to get too far off topic, but razorace, you should check out the Pages of Now and Forever. (www.classicgaming.com/starcontrol) Fred Ford and Paul Reich III have released the source code to SC2 and it's been rereleased as a windows native program...  [Read More]

Al, First off, I'd like to apologize for going off the handle with you earlier. I think that one of the reasons why I get heated up about this issue (and possibly why many of us get heated up, though I can't speak for everyone else) is that I saw su...  [Read More]

Well, from the sound of it, you seem to be suggesting that SWG is going to be pretty true to the feel of the movies, something that I felt JO lacked in a big way. I'm actually curious about Obi-Wan. Did that game ever come out on ANY platform, or di...  [Read More]

Jolts, Why wasn't the game that much fun for you after 2 weeks or so? ILR, I think you're right that there are ways in which the force powers and sabre combat (and the guns, for that matter) could have been implemented to make the game more "...  [Read More]

Shock, It's not so much WHERE I did my dueling as much as it is WHEN I did my dueling. For the most part, I didn't play competitively, so I probably wasn't going up against people who were all that good. I also didn't play for very long after 1.04 c...  [Read More]

For duels, 1.04 helped somewhat. Though the blocking could've been more logically based and not so random. As far as why bother including the various force powers you mentioned, they've been in the game for a while so that alone would piss people off...  [Read More]

Prime, Actually, I was advocating that you change the sabre stance access system. You'd get access to all sabre stances from the start, but your ability to use them to break an enemy's defenses or to defend against an enemy would depend on how many...  [Read More]

Prime, I don't even mean that the stances should have differences in lethality. Heavy stance, medium stance, light stance, doesn't matter. I would, however, base it on locational damage. A head shot gets an instant kill. Anywhere else, and it takes...  [Read More]

Prime, Not a bad idea, but the one thing that you might want to do with that system is to limit the number of configurations available. This way you avoid the problem that has happened with the mod community in the game as it is: too many variants o...  [Read More]

Actually, it's not so much about winning or losing, it's about how much fun the game was to play when everyone only ever does "cheap" moves, or when everyone only uses one move in particular, cheap or not. I want balance to give me variety...  [Read More]

Exactly. A spammer is basically like I said, a one-trick-pony. The spammer doesn't know how to adapt tactics to a changing situation, and doesn't bother to try anything new. They just repeat a single move again and again without bothering to take the...  [Read More]

What mod was that? I'd DEFINITELY play a TFC style JO mod if they had one. Shock, you're right that I'm basically equating lamers = spammers = 1337 players. Under the current style of gameplay, there are ways to beat the spammed attacks. There were...  [Read More]
