Which mods are the best for this game, add your favourite to this thread.

[@dropdown64]

Movie battles 2 is pretty cool

[@EliteDebate]

Check out JA+ mod it will have alot of base items,maps, and features that you will enjoy. It also is required fpr alot of the community multiplayer. Check out "jkhub *dot* org" for great mods, lightsaber skins, etc.

[@fosty.]

Jar Jar Binks mod

[@MrWizardd200]

Movie battles 2 was some of the most fun I'd had since Halo 2. The learning curve for playing Jedi/Sith was steep but that naturally funneled most people into other classes and everything just kinda balanced out really well. Community is still alive and very helpful. I've played it on and off for a couple years.

[@Webshooters1]

Knights Of The Force 2.1 It gives you a kinda sandbox where you can be characters from the Prequel, Original, Legends, and even the *shudder* Disney Trilogy. Alot of maps based on the films as well plus an Add/Load system where you can spawn NPCs and customize them to your liking.

[@hman1801]

It's a sad reflection on the state of gaming when we get more hyped up for remakes and remasters than new releases. Outcast and Knight along with the KOTOR games could all use a remaster treatment.

[@Trogadorr]

I hate Remasters and Remakes. Like the new Tony Hawk for example. To me THPS3/4 are perfect, they handle perfectly fine. What good does a remaster do other than give us prettier graphics? I’ll go back and play JK2/JKA/KOTOR any day. The graphics hold up absolutely fine and they don’t really need a remaster or remake.

[@g-rounded612]

Remakes, remasters, endless sequels. I guess originality is no more.

[@hman1801]

@@Trogadorr You're right, graphics are the only improvements but it's always nice to see a classic game get a new coat of paint. The only time I have a problem is when they change gameplay or story elements that never needed changing.

@Jovica Jevtic balance certainly is important in a video game but you can balance the fun out of a game There are a great many exploits in Jedi Knight Jedi Academy and if you have no self-control it can ruin the balance But following order is your cookie cutter casual Souls like it's a great game and is fun to play but it doesn't bring anything exciting or new to the table You may look at it as gimping yourself to have fun I look at it as play style selection Think of it in terms of an RPG some people like the warrior class and have a lot of fun with it but maybe like the Rogue or Mage class more maybe you like those classes more because they're not as powerful as the warrior But for people who don't understand RPGs the warrior class is a great way to ease them in I highly recommend going for a Jedi guardian play style using only Light Side abilities and no heal as well as mostly lightsaber it's pretty fun And it's not inherently weaker than the other play styles instead of killing things with the force you're making it impossible for things to kill you with the force You're reducing the damage You Take by 85% and you're turning Hazard Troopers with the concussion rifles on your team to kill one another it's a genuinely good time but still quite powerful

When the disney sequels were announced, I really wanted a live action version of that iconic scene with Luke standing before his students on Yavin. Instead, we all got crap.

[@LordBaronsworth]

Actually, comparing the Disney trilogy to crap is an insult to crap. Crap can be used as fertilizer to grow wonderful vegetables. Disney trilogy has no use, no purpose, nothing redeemable. It will forever be remembered as the largest failure of cinema history, the greatest missed opportunity that ever was.

[@palantiri6590]

@@LordBaronsworth It's sad that there are more bad star wars movies than good ones. Hell there are more awful ones than great ones.

[@arnox4554]

You know, I'm gonna get shit on for this but The Last Jedi was one of the best Star Wars films and it saddens me a lot that the ONE thing that Disney did that was actually kinda good was the thing that got burned at the stake, is STILL getting burned at the stake. Why? Because Luke grew up? Because a traumatic experience didn't just bounce off of him? I mean, what are we even comparing these new movies to? The originals? Ep. 4-6 had its FAIR share of issues as well. My father was a Star Wars fan since the beginning. He loved TLJ. A few of my clanmates who've played JKA with me for a LONG time, they loved it.

Star Wars: Republic Commando was one of my absolute favorite games as a kid. I loved playing as an amazing Storm Trooper special forces group. I loved being able to alter my gun on the fly in order to tackle the various obstacles as I needed to. I loved working with my squad to overcome all of the obstacles.

[@sheepywolfanimations]

My first game ever... I have a photo of me playing this on my old Windows 95 ... Played the ever loving shit out of it and still do today. And completing Outcast made me cry, that game took me a long time to beat as i was very young. But man the feels will never go away. Them games were my everything back then and will stick with me for ever.

[@tomstoffelsound]

Yes Mac! So pumped for these retro review series! Your insights into what made older games great is always very informative and enlightening. thanks mate!

[@christiankopet5891]

I've been playing this and Jedi Outcast on Switch so much. I was so happy when I heard they were coming to the Switch.

[@JustinMorphius]

Makermod was a great mod idea that let you build in single player and multiplayer maps on multiplayer, so communities or "clans" as they were called, could customize the maps and make their own personal areas. You could also create your own maps with gtkradiant but that took a fair amount more skill. I wish there were still programmers interested in updating Makermod/improving it, it was abandoned after it was made open source as people moved on with their lives. Great video btw.

[@tidywolf8225]

I bought Origin Premiere during Covid justifying it for Fallen Order alone. Got bored out of my natch with that game so tried KOTOR for the first time. Spent 80 hrs with KOTOR and it's now in my top 10 of all time. Glad you posted this vid. This looks like what I was expecting from Fallen Order, can't wait to try it out. I just don't understand why they designed Fallen Order around the copy-paste, Sony exclusive, hanging off rocks type traversal mechanics. The entire level designs were built around this forced traversal system and bored me to tears. Mac, what's your take on the Force Unleashed games? Where do they lie on the quality spectrum of SW games?

[@Christian-oi7sd]

You should play jedi outcast first then play jedi academy. They're both great games but jedi outcast has a much better story

Being a kid when this came out, back in the 'you had to have it on CD and it was valuable' days, I used to play this at my friends house. We'd get so immersed and enjoy every minute of exploring and playing.

[@bandersmasher]

Great review, Mac. I personally prefer Academy because the character creation, starting with a lightsaber, being able to pick missions in the order you chose, and the less obtuse puzzles/level design. Both are great games though.

[@stupidrainbo]

When I was a kid I started with Academy. It was awesome. Then I saw 'Jedi Outcast II' and I was like, "HOLY GOD THERE'S A SEQUEL!" Then I didn't even beat the first level because there was no lightsaber and I didn't like the first person view and it was too dark and scary. And maybe it was hard too, but I don't remember how I thought of that.

[@bandersmasher]

@@stupidrainbo Yeah. Just being able to start out as a Jedi was a big improvement. In Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight there are several levels of fps gameplay before Kyle gets a lightsaber. I didn't enjoy rehashing that in Jedi Outcast because Kyle quit being a Jedi.

[@lwaves]

@@bandersmasher I still think it's a worthy slog to go through before getting your lightsaber but it is a slog. I get why they did it but it could have been a shorter time before you got it.

This game is such a trip back to the past. I remember we would always talk about this game in school with each other, it was amazing. The feel of the combat, the singleplayer, the multiplayer... i need a full remaster!!!!!! Or at least a star wars game that has similar combat!!

[@gomezrodriguez9059]

Every time I play the game I end up with a "staf" and deliberately chopping with an ordinary attack and the minute there's a slowdown in time I use a butterfly and butcheret enemy to pieces ... love it.

[@lwaves]

I don't remember which one of the franchise it is but one of my favourite gaming moments was being on a platform above roughly 8 Stormtroopers. Then jumping into the middle of them, throwing my lightsaber in an arc and taking all but one out, only to take him out with a single slash as my lightsaber returned to my hand. Not a single shot was fired.

[@matejmaric3346]

I just freakin' realized I missed this review because I was so busy during the early lockdown in may and june. Holy hell, I love this game.

just replayed this with the vr mod it was like a new game mint review as always mac keep em up

[@TheRixtah1]

The timeline of the extended universe is far superior to what is actually canon. If the films had followed this story line with Katarn and Luke running a fledgling academy in a new and uncertain galaxy with Imperial Remnant and a developing Republic we would be in a much better place now than where we are with Mary Sue Ray and Emo Kylo

I played on multiplayer along with JKO multiplayer for years, went by Zen'' font colors green and black on JKA played on the clan USA servers and JAWA servers a lot and generally on saber only servers, and was part of a clan for quite a while but cant remember the damn name and abbreviation.

The Jedi Knight games were indeed brilliant action adventure games of their time, but i have to say i really did enjoy SW Force Unleashed too. It had great sword combat, great force power use, combos, environment sandbox, secrets, nice levels and cool bosses. Most people gloss over Force Unleashed when nostalgia talking about old SW games, but i think it deserves a mention.

This series is next on my list. Currently playing Battlefront II Classic and it's the only game I've played for the last week and a half. So many excellent memories of these games and remastered versions would be perfection.

[@RichardVSmall]

Comparing this to Outcast is a bit unfair imo. I'm not sure but wasn't this a standalone expansion for Outcast back in the day, rather than it's own game? The pure combat mechanics in Academy are definitely objectively better though. It encompasses everything in Outcast but adds more moves, attacks, enemies etc. Outcast is an overall better game in terms of the singleplayer level design, story, characters - I especially like that you start the game without a lightsaber or any force powers. I still remember the joy I felt when I completed the jedi trials and turned on the lightsaber for the first time. Then there's the perfect introduction to the lightsaber combat with the Nar Shadaa bar fight, where you just cut through dozens of enemies and feel like a complete badass for the first time. The gameplay really evolves as you get a lightsaber, then more and more powerful force powers, facing deadlier and deadlier enemies. Makes me wish they still made games like that now. Completely agree that a modern remake or anniversary edition etc. of these games would be amazing - they'd definitely get my money. P.S. - A single saber with one blade is the only true way. It is also the most versatile as you gain access to all three saber combat styles (blue, gold, red) which are each effective against different enemy types but require different timings and playstyles. P.P.S. - Goddamn it, now I've talked myself into reinstalling these games. I guess it's time for another playthrough.

SP is a treat and always great to pick if u wanna evolve into speedrunning as strafing and all the tricks in game can become quite therapeutic and addicting. MP is very fun, theres 60-100+ people still clustered across different servers everyday and base is pretty much still alive with the veterans around it , we get a few peeps who're new every now and then (surely every year there is always someone new which is great) The saber mechanics in this game is incomparable , it's like no other. MP Competitive play where there is no SKill Ceiling but a SKILL SKY

[@fredrikpettersen630]

The force powers are hotkeyed to the F1-2-3 etc keys, so if you force grip someone and press F1, you will throw them while gripping. Makes you feel pretty badass. Also, Moviebattles 2 mod is frickin awesome, Starwars: Counterstrike w/ loads of different classes, basically.

[@dylan9784]

So many of my evenings after school were spent playing the Jedi Knight games and dueling people online.

[@daktaklakpak5059]

Legendary Star Wars Game. And its biggest issue is, there is no Level Select Screen! In a truly masterful crafted game, the moment you unlocked a level, you can always select it from the main menu. Sadly, in Wookiee Academy you have to use Map Codes to play your favorite level and use console/cheat codes to customize your saber and combat style. This is literally a chore to do. But its still one of THE best Star Wars games ever created. Because its from the Golden Age of gaming.

[@lazyone2022]

This reminded me of the multiplayer days, when I learned how poking worked so in duels you could 1 shot people if you were good. It was bloody hard to pull off well, but shit, it was great. Back then there were communities, where people who went around disturbing others were hunted down. Oh and the building servers, where you could spawn objects, build constructions, write scripts, create actual working doors that only you could use, create quest sequences, create an rpg system where you would get credits for doing quests, and you could buy power upgrades for doing quests. It was glorious. It was so much fun, I miss games like that :(

[@DoctorHades]

I got this game with a pack of 12 Star War games, including Jedi Outcast, Knight of the Old Republic, Dark Forces etc, etc, in a Steam sale a few years ago. I think that was under £10.

[@alphatonic1481]

It's crazy i played JK:A over 15 years ago and still remember all the levels like i played it yesterday. I played some sort of custom laddermap defeat the last enemy and made a savegame then spawn in a bunch of sith npc's using notarget to place them where i want them disable notarget again and fight them kinda like a in-engine level editor. Also you could with the help of some console commands enable kungfu mode so you could kick enemies like they can kick you.

[@josephvanwyk2088]

The thing I always did when replaying this game over and over was to use the force grip cheat (just for fun). It's a command cheat you type in to increase the power (think you set it to 8 or something). So when you run into a room with 5 storm troopers, you lift all 5 in the air and then by flipping the mouse + release they all fly up into the air.

[@davemoylemusic]

Hey mac. Enjoying your honest content. Can relate to the way you describe stuff as I'm quite like that my self 👍. Been thinking of doing reviews myself. How do you go about things. Do you record a ton of game play then voice over whilst watching your recordings. Or do you write pointers and do the voice over separately. Anyway you have a new sub. Best wishes mate

[@thesheeepjd]

Man I loved that game. Even played it competitively online for a time in ESL. In the multiplayer scene, light saber was basically useless (as was dual wield) and everyone almost only used single light saver heavy stance as it dishes out the most damage and you can really learn to control it very well with the mouse, lengthen the periods the saber stays in the same place by turning while you swing, etc. It was pretty glorious. The problem with all the light and new light saber styles is that they look fast and flashy, but are super weak and uncontrollable - and easily pushed aside by the heavy stance.

[@Archangelm127]

If you're not going to take Protect, Absorb and Heal, no wonder you're getting wrecked. It doesn't matter where the balance of your force powers lies; whether you fall or not at the end is a single choice, and you can do whatever you want regardless of your skills. Put your first point into Heal, so that you can always regen yourself out of combat. Then get Choke to 3 ASAP. It's totally OP given the bottomless pits everywhere. Even the most powerful Sith opponents can often be killed by a quick grab and flick; the trick is to move them fast enough that they'll keep flying into the pit when they break your Choke. Once you have that, level Protect and then Absorb. With those active, you are very difficult to kill unless you do something dumb.

[@checkmate058]

Just completed it for first time last week. Im not an expert on the combat but Tieing movement to swing direction is like tieing a string between your foot and the cars steering wheel. Easy to do something unintentional while trying to do another.
