There are issues, it seems, with higher-end machines. That's not a problem at our house.:rolleyes: I did have a little "skipping" once. Defragmented the hard drive and it flowed smoothly thereafter....  [Read More]

Originally posted by Matariel It should be easier to win with a single sabre than a dual sabre, because in reality, it would take more skill to use two sabres or a sabre staff. I'm not following you here. The purpose of the new weapons is not to...  [Read More]

I agree. It should be harder to win with a single saber. Many people who play multi-player say that it is not, but I think that will change as people get more practice with the new options. As I've said before, you can't kill two opponents in the s...  [Read More]

Tavion was tougher in Outcast, and more interesting. I, too, ploughed through the game for the first time on Padawan. (Waits for snickering to die down.) I thought I was just incredibly lucky with both Tavion and Ragnos, or "Ragnovion,"...  [Read More]

I agree with the thread's starting statement. This is one area where Jedi Outcast has Jedi Academy beat hands-down. The bartender in Outcast had more character than any of the villians in Academy. You know you're in trouble when the maiin villian h...  [Read More]

I always carry a sniper rifle. A big part of the reason is for the telescope. I've scoped out the situation many times before wading in, even without firing a shot . Also, sniping is great for taking out "regular" opponents who would be sh...  [Read More]

The scary thing is, I know he's SUPPOSED to be annoying. It's necessary to the plot. Yet I still can't stand him. Maybe getting gravely wounded (did he lose an arm?) will resolve some of his serious maturity issues....  [Read More]

What if Rosh is the new sidekick? Think abou it. There will be expansion packs, etc. It's obvious: "Get 'Jedi Academy: Postgraduate Study.' New skins, characters you can play and lightsabers. More than three faces for each gender. Neat new clot...  [Read More]

You cannot stab two opponents at the same instant with a single saber, no matter how good you are. That's something that even a lowly single-player like me can say. The first time I played the level where the mutant rancor was running around, I ran...  [Read More]

A few points: The mutated rancor is a much bigger danger to your enemies than to you. It's a cheesy trick, but I'd get close enough to dark jedi to draw a challenge, then run away and jump on a platform. The enemies would chase me but would usually...  [Read More]

A lot more fighting. A lot less puzzles and jumping than Outcast. The puzzles are simpler, too. I like JA much better than Knights of the Old Republic, which I played at a friend's house. Admittedly, I didn't have the chance to play much of KOTOR, s...  [Read More]

The graphics tail has waved the gameplay dog for years now. I applaud the decision to stick with the same engine for more than one game, rather than make a lot of fans' computers obsolete with every new release. ============ The review in question...  [Read More]

IMO, game review sites are heavily biased toward games with really great graphics. Gamespot's not as bad as others, but the bias is still there. If you hold my point of view, it's downright amazing that a game with a graphics engine this old got an...  [Read More]
