The way I got introduced to Kotor was an accidental pre-order in my local library. I thought I was pre-ordering a audiobook being a Star Wars fan who enjoyed the EU; I was utterly surprised to find I had in fact reserved the full PC game. I played the game to its entirety within that span and brought a copy to boot. Absolutely one of my all time favourites save for Kotor 2 which topped it for me. What an amazing time to be a Star Wars fan back then. I legit hope someday I can show it to my own family someday and have them experience it for the first time, just to relive my enjoyment. That's why I love blind playthroughs on youtube =) .

[@crh18]

just the other day I watch a speedrun on GDQ and one the commentators was watching the gameplay for the first time, and was genuinely surprised at the twist reveal! It was pretty satisfying hearing her reaction, brought back memories of my own shock too 😆

[@Leonnie13]

I went to Best Buy to get an Xbox and the first Fable game. They gave me a free copy of Kotor with it. I played a few hours of Fable and then switched to Kotor. I never switched back. I played it all the way through and was so blown away I played it again. Now I have it on Xbox One, PC, iPad, Samsung phone, and Nintendo Switch. Same with Kotor 2. Love these games. Weirdly, I also waited on Mass Effect for more than a year because I was so sour they didn’t do Kotor 3. Now I love Mass effect almost as much now.

KOTOR took me a while to get into. I tried it several times as a kid, but could never get into it mainly due to the combat. In 2013, I made another attempt, but I was getting into Mass Effect at the same time which sucked me away from KOTOR. Made another attempt to play KOTOR in 2016 after seeing it on sale for May the 4th, and I remember so many late nights of playing KOTOR 1 and 2 that summer and finally getting sucked in. As a kid, Clone Wars and Rogue Squadrons 2 and 3 were my Star Wars video games I remember most fondly.

Battlefront 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. I remember 5-6 year old me getting not knowing how much the game had in it. Over the years my brother and I would go on to discover such cool details about the game such as launching boarding parties on enemy cruisers or even hero assault on Mos Eisley. I’d highly recommend picking it up on steam. Any computer can pretty much run it and it has a wide selection of mods to choose from. You will have to mess with the resolution a bit but it’s worth the hassle

[@josephlinza1610]

I love SW Battlefront 2. One cool way you can break the game during space battles is if you take off in a hanger and land the ship in the middle of the force field between the hanger and outer space. You can then jump out of the ship you'll end up walking around the capital ship in outer space.

It wasn't until I found the 2nd best way to kill them that I got over that fear... Punch off their canon arm by aiming for the armpit... Takes like 2-4 hits with your blade, they can still melee unless you take the other arm too, but unlike losing the melee arm they actually die after a set period so you can ignore them afterward unless holding position, fewer strikes required than vitals sniper shots too.

The really sad thing is that after RC there really hasn't been any 4player shooters like it or the other Xbox gem Brute Force with a serious squad based focus... There are 4p capable 1p shooters and zombie survival that come close, gears too, but otherwise nothing comes close to that squad strategy style.

[@ryon5174]

Amazing AI yes but not perfect, there have been multiple occasions that your squad members may break or not be present when forming up (don’t lie, this has happened to everyone at this point), sometimes they get stuck for no reason, sometimes they can’t recall from orders, and sometimes they just don’t respond I’m on a new playthrough at the moment after not playing it for two years and on Geonosis I got Scorch to break during the Spider Droid encounter, and Sev to be unresponsive (or straight out missing) after the Droid factory mission Still a great game tho

I may be biased as my birthday is also in June, but I think I'm right. 😉 I know you're not a huge old school retro gaming guy but I'd be amused to see your thoughts on the Nintendo/Master System game and the Famicom Japanese only game from that era. I missed out on all these. The only one I tried was Knight of the old Republic. Got it on Steam. The problem for me is I just have a laptop that doesn't have the best keyboard and the PC version doesn't have a controller option. Trying to play with a laptop was torture despite getting about 4 hours in as the game and story drew me in, but I had to stop. I'm actually going to buy an O.G.

It's sad how many great Star Wars franchise sequel/new games got canceled: Battlefront 3 Knights of The Old Republic 3 (Imperial) Republic Commando 2 1313 Etc

The thing I hate most about Disney Star Wars games is how weak and safe everything is. The weapons are like nerf guns, barely causing any destruction. There's no cuts from lightsabers. The Jedi barely jump high at all or do flips, it's like they smoked a bunch of weed before the match so they're lazy. The Sith are polite instead of ruthless. The lock-on systems do all the fighting for you. There's no war-like immersion where you really feel the struggle, unlike this clip for example. The music is always so lighthearted, their sound design never has darker tones like in Episode III the videogame. There's so much depth that they just choose to get rid of it all in favor of surface level entertainment

Battlefront 2, KOTR 1&2, all the Dark Empire/Jedi Knight games, Galaxy MMO, and The Force Unleashed, were the ones that ruled my childhood

I still think KOTOR 1 and 2, even in it's unfinished state, offer a far far FAR better story than any of the movies combined. Kotor 1 & 2 we're what got me into star wars and I remember being incredibly disappointed by almost all the movies. Even the good movies I have a hard time sitting through, I only think parts of them are good.
