Precisely. KOTOR is going to be for the RPG minded. The action will not be nearly as break neck, seat of the pants fighting like JA. JA will have fewer jedi tricks persay, but whole butt load of fast-paced tactics, sabers being put away for a massive...  [Read More]

It wasn't an NJO book. Luke INTENTIONALLY turns in the earlier EU books, I forget which one it was. Dark Empire, whatever. Basically, Palpatine isn't dead (hogwash), because he makes a thousand billion clones of himself. They are all exact copies, bu...  [Read More]

Ah yes, the EU. If we REALLY want to get on who's right, who doesn't follow what, just look at the EU itself. Full of continuity errors, not to mention the fact that Luke apparently changes personalities as he goes through the books. And believe me,...  [Read More]

Man, Force Blind was just the silliest power ever made... well, maybe the second silliest. Force Destruction was the silliest ever. Force Blind: First off, it simply didn't make any sense. I'm a light jedi, and I don't use the Force to attack. So.....  [Read More]

Force Powers: the best thing to do is simply expand on what JO already has. Take the push/pull powers and turn them into "manipulate objects" power. Force grip gets taken beyond "choke" to manipulate target. However, for a fast...  [Read More]

Stealth would be nice as an option, and also an allignment to the Force kind of thing. Hatred and power, or doing what has to be done, peaceful jedi. However, that won't be the case. I never did like the fact that in JO and JK, I could disarm peopl...  [Read More]

Jedi Power Battles is not a GOOD example of a manual blocking system. Why? Because Power Battles has nothing to do with the Jedi Knight series. The games are COMPLETELY different in style. Manual blocking is not something that would be very functio...  [Read More]

Auto blocking all the way. Going along with the comments about internet lag issues, keep in mind that implementing manual blocking adds a complexity to a certain weapon that would surely suffer for it. Take all these auto blocking ideas. Now let'...  [Read More]

Wow, Smood, I'm shocked. Firstly, the Yoda comment was sarcasm. I was saying that if the dark side was simply a "state of mind", and force lightning etc. is just something we all need to learn how to control and be peaceful with, then Yod...  [Read More]

Well, the only thing I hope DOESN'T happen is some kind of hokey ending where i'm using dark side powers, but i'm not on the dark side. That's what really ticked me off about JO. Kyle Katarn, a good guy, blasting everyone to bits with a power that...  [Read More]

Well, at this point it seems that the Raven people are putting in a few saber 'gimics' already. You'd think we'd just get a double staff, but you can apparently switch one blade off and use it. You can wield two sabers and throw one at people. Yada...  [Read More]

I'm glad all the 'pro' players are giving their opinions. I agree wholeheartedly with everyone that this game needs to go back to its JK roots to an extent (not entirely). Guns: They need to be powerful, they need a good amount of ammo, they need t...  [Read More]

The way I understood it, kicking would be enhanced when you chose the double lightsaber, but otherwise everything else was the same. I wouldn't mind more kicking myself, however, JO's had double tap kicking, which made kicking... easy. If they leav...  [Read More]

Sigh... the 'honourz' code strikes again. Having honor is good and swell, but I think one of the attributes of an 'honorable' players is his/her humility. In other words, they do not go around talking to people about honor. Honor is almost an unsaid...  [Read More]

The thing I love about the pseudo-Rpers or the fanboys is that they'll tell you that you aren't a real jedi when you don't comply to their rules. I've decided that whenever I encounter this stuff again, I will be prepared to "counter-rpg"...  [Read More]
