Wasn't really Obsidian's fault, was it? Lucas Art's rushed Kotor 2 out for the Christmas holiday's...

*edit*
iirc

 

Why? So you can wander around the same identical cavern a hundred times dping Fedex missions?

and KOTOR 2 made no damned sense unless you really sat down and read it on a website somewhere. It had a ton of random spots, huge amounts of cut out shit. Screw Team Gizka, they're 2 years too late on the release of the fix at least.

According to various things though, in the Luke era, this isn't true. Luke can't do much of shit, Yoda's still pretty weak, Obiwon is nothing compared to what he was in the clone wars. Even in the books and games, later on Luke and Kyle aren't anywhere NEAR as strong as the game trailers lead you to believe. Hell even Darth in the movies, and the Emperor can't do much other then force lighting or choke.

 

Darth did manage to Force choke a guy on an entirely different Star Destroyer in Episode 5.

 

Well in the interviews they try to explain that the "unleashed" force powers come from the fact that he has been trained only in destruction for his entire life.
The Jedi never really focus on combat (at least in the Old republic) and rely on their lightsabers. Darth Vader sees the potential and wants to see how far he can bring it in his apprentice. So he focuses on combat and only on combat.

If you consider the fact that all other siths are always somewhat afraid of their apprentices, it seems logical that they do not train them to become the best from an early age (that would only invite their own doom).
Besides, after the last 3 films i stopped caring about Star wars canon. I'll play the games if they are fun and have a half decent story (like Kotor) but i doubt i'll ever read another star wars book so i don't need to play canon police in that universe

 

ROFL! I am so glad I only rented Elder Scrolls IV. Same boring shit over and over and over and over and over and over and o...

Yeah, that completely fucking killed the storyline. I still play it, just 'cause the in-game features are marginally better (IMO) than KotOR's, but I have to force myself to ignore the gaping plot holes.

Well, that's just the Force beginning to stabilize. The Emperor wiped out most Force sensetives during the Purge, but since they operate like muggleborn wizards, (meaning they can crop up anywhere, at any time, in any family) once the Purge loses steam, Force Sensetives are being born left and right. That, in my opinion, would replace all those missing drain pipes, bringing the average Force-user's power back down to pre-Purge levels.

 

So much Oblivion hate... It makes me sad. Granted closing the damn gates got boring after a while, but some of the quests were well thought out and full of win. Dark Brotherhood missions anyone?

Anyway back to the game, I don't have a Star Wars game for my 360 so I'll probably buy it just on good hype, nah I'd rather just borrow from a friend and keep it for a couple of months.

So what will the plot end up being? Going around killing random Rebels or is it post Emperor death?

 

It's set before A New Hope. Technically, your mission is to hunt down surviving Jedi, but, from what I can tell, the "Secret Apprentice" is so secret that he can leave no witnesses, rebel or imperial. So really, you get to kill everyone.

 

Dark brotherhood was kewl, but after that? Sucked hot, sweaty, tiger balls.

 

Just a bit of miscellany, Starkiller was to be Luke's surname in the original draft of Star Wars. I think.

 

Darth Vader from the get-go has been interested in overthrowing the Emperor. The apprentice was trained solely to help him achieve that purpose, eliminating key Imperial personnel to bring about a series of events. Which is why most of the gameplay footage seen has been on Imperial bases and ships, with most of the enemies being stormtroopers. I'm also quite sure that Vader is interested in killing any remaining Jedi that are lurking around, which is why there are 3 or 4 in the character list.

 

I'm necroing this thread because there is a demo up on Xbox Live Marketplace and I'd imagine it's up on PSN.

It starts with a cutscene where you are knighted by Vader and then he gives you a mission where you have to kill a jedi.

So off you go to the mission. The controls are weird and were hard to get used to at the start but eventually I got the hang of it.

The Force powers are cool but I only needed push, the saber and grip. Might be different for other people but meh.

 

1.3 gigs?

It was only 900 MB for me.

 

All graphics look the same on a 10x12 screen... :|

 

lol

The game's graphics aren't as good as the other games out there. But at least they have more then 3 colors used...

 

The camera was fine for me.

The demo was good and that part that really annoyed me was fighting the AT-AT, or is it an AT-ST? Anyway, I can't stand games where you have to press the button at the right time to continue on.

Would have been awesome if that wasn't in it...

 

Urgh I have to go and buy membership again aint nowhere open a 2:08 :/
