Knights of the Old Republic - OB1 - 12th July 2003
So how come nobody is talking about this game? Do all of you hate awesome PC-style RPGs? Anyhow, the game is coming out next week and I'm just bursting with excitement. It looks like it'll easily be the best XBox game of the year (and the best XBox game, period), and possibly the best game for any system this year. Here's the first review for KOTOR in case anyone's interested: http://www.unlimitedlives.com/games/abstracts/view_item.php?1057978138
GR, you sure as hell better buy this! :)
Knights of the Old Republic - Great Rumbler - 12th July 2003
I'll definitely check it out, but I can't promise that I'll buy it.
Knights of the Old Republic - OB1 - 12th July 2003
Bubba, you're gonna love it. There's no way you can't. Read some more about it.
Knights of the Old Republic - A Black Falcon - 13th July 2003
Yeah, it sounds great... I'll have to get it eventually for PC.
Knights of the Old Republic - alien space marine - 15th July 2003

isnt that sweet dual blades for the good guys!
I wonder if you can make a jedi wookie?
Knights of the Old Republic - A Black Falcon - 15th July 2003
Yeah, we have a while to wait for the PC version.. :(
Oh, and this is Bioware's big chance. Neverwinter Nights was good, but flawed and just didn't live up to their previous works in Baldur's Gate 1 and 2... they better shape up now...
Knights of the Old Republic - OB1 - 15th July 2003
So far the reviews have been extremely positive. IGN gave it a 9.5, Game Informer gave it a 9.5, and Unlimited Gamers have it a 6/6. Trust me ABF, you're gonna love this. It's Baldur's Gate. Star Wars-style!
Knights of the Old Republic - Great Rumbler - 15th July 2003
I'm going to buy it as soon as I can.
Knights of the Old Republic - OB1 - 15th July 2003
You better! Or else I'm gonna drive over to Idaho and kick your ass!
Knights of the Old Republic - Great Rumbler - 15th July 2003
I guess I'm alright then, since I don't live in Idaho, or near Idaho, nor have I ever BEEN to Idaho, or even near it!!
Knights of the Old Republic - OB1 - 15th July 2003
Well one of those southern states. You have a pretty strong southern accent.
...
It's cool! Don't feel bad that you don't sound like us "city folk".

At least I don't sound like a woman...
Knights of the Old Republic - OB1 - 15th July 2003
Who sounds like a woman?
Knights of the Old Republic - Great Rumbler - 15th July 2003
You do.
Knights of the Old Republic - OB1 - 15th July 2003
I sound manlier than you ever will, Idaho-boy!

OB1's Kermit doesn't sound like a girl. The song isn't exactly great... but it doesn't sound like a girl. :)
Knights of the Old Republic - OB1 - 15th July 2003
It wasn't supposed to be great! You guys think that I was actually being serious with that song.

Quote: It may seem strange, but Knights of the Old Republic actually uses a slightly simplified version of 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons rules both for combat and for character generation. So despite the obviously different setting, fans of BioWare's D&D-themed games will be in relatively familiar territory here. Your main character starts off as a male or female soldier, scout, or scoundrel. These three basic classes roughly correspond to D&D's fighter, ranger, and rogue.
Oh no! OB1 admits he likes D&D!
Because you see, OB1... D&D isn't one gameworld. Its a system of how you play RPGs. Generally it is for fantasy... but it obviously can be adapted for sci-fi too. :)
Its because of the amount of variation between the D&D gameworlds that makes your comments that its "similar looking" so silly... Greyhawk, Planescape, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance... all so different...
Knights of the Old Republic - OB1 - 15th July 2003
I never said that I hated D&D the game, stupid. I clearly stated that I hate the look of all those D&D games.
Knights of the Old Republic - A Black Falcon - 15th July 2003
But even if we just cover the PC games, they have a fairly wide variety of locations... and I love the look of Baldur's Gate! Great looking game... the location maps are very well drawn.
Knights of the Old Republic - OB1 - 16th July 2003
They're too drab!
Knights of the Old Republic - A Black Falcon - 16th July 2003
Drab? Er... whatever you mean, I disagree. Its a great fantasy world look.
Knights of the Old Republic - OB1 - 16th July 2003
drab
adj.
1. a) Of a dull grayish to yellowish brown.
b) Of a light olive brown or khaki color.
2. Faded and dull in appearance.
3. Dull or commonplace in character; dreary: a drab personality.
Knights of the Old Republic - A Black Falcon - 16th July 2003
Dull? No, I wouldn't say D&D is dull looking...
Knights of the Old Republic - OB1 - 16th July 2003
Well that's because you are dull. You said yourself that you hate the outdoors. What's wrong with you??
Knights of the Old Republic - Great Rumbler - 16th July 2003
Do you guys have to have this exact same debate in two different threads?
Knights of the Old Republic - A Black Falcon - 16th July 2003
I don't hate the outdoors... there's nothing wrong with outdoors. I just like being inside more. But I don't see how that relates to a discussion of D&D art...
Knights of the Old Republic - OB1 - 16th July 2003
It has everything to do with it because it shows that you do not care for the beauty of outdoors (and vibrant colors) and would rather stay inside a dark(er) building. So basically, you like drab surroundings.
Knights of the Old Republic - A Black Falcon - 16th July 2003
You can think whatever wrong things you want, but it doesn't make them true.
Knights of the Old Republic - Great Rumbler - 16th July 2003
OB1: D&D is drab and it only uses dull colors!
ABF: What are you talking about?
OB1: It only uses dull colors like brown and gray and there aren't any beautiful outdoor settings!
ABF: It's not dull at all! It's an excellent game world!
OB1: No it isn't!
ABF: Yes it is!
OB1: You only say that because you like dull colors and drab enviroments!
ABF: That's not it at all!
OB1: Yes it is!
ABF: No it isn't!
OB1: No it isn't!
ABF: Yes it is!
OB1: HA!
*universe explodes*

Well of course it's not objective fact, dummy. It's my opinion. I don't like to look at things with drab color palettes, but you do. Whup-dee-frickin-doo.
Knights of the Old Republic - alien space marine - 17th July 2003
The reviewers at gamespot said knights of the old republic is the best starwars product in years he even said it was better then the two new movies.
Knights of the Old Republic - OB1 - 17th July 2003
It's better than the new movies? What the hell? Now they're comparing games to movies? Hey great idea! When I review Mario Golf I'm gonna compare it to this Mario Bros. cereal that I had a while ago, because that would be the smart thing to do!
Reason #123,68,524 why Gamespot's reviewers are complete morons.
Knights of the Old Republic - A Black Falcon - 17th July 2003
Yeah, that is a pretty dumb comment... better than the movies? How do you compare them, really?
Its just that reviewer trying to make another dig at the prequel trilogy... :(
Knights of the Old Republic - OB1 - 17th July 2003
Yes they think they're so "in" when they do that, don't they?
Knights of the Old Republic - A Black Falcon - 17th July 2003
Oh yeah, that's pretty clear. Idiots.
Knights of the Old Republic - Great Rumbler - 17th July 2003
I'd tried to KOTOR today, but everywhere I went either hadn't got it in yet or were sold out. I should be able to get it tomorrow, though.
Knights of the Old Republic - A Black Falcon - 17th July 2003
Darn you X-Box owners and your version months sooner than the PC version!
Knights of the Old Republic - OB1 - 17th July 2003
Alright I got it today and have spent a few hours on it so here's what I think of the game so far:
Gameplay: Controls are good, the camera is pretty good (you can look all the up or all the way down in first-person view, though), and the battle system is very good.
Graphics: Not as good as some screenshots would make you think. There is very little or no anti-aliasing used so the game has a pretty jagged look to it, the textures are for the most part good but not as good as you'd expect from a second-generation X-Box game, and the models are just alright. The framerate isn't very good but it's acceptable for a game of this type. Overall it looks pretty good, but not great. But I haven't been to any other planets yet so it's probably too early to judge.
Sound: Great score, tons and tons of high-quality voice acting, and solid sound effects.
Overall this is shaping up to be quite an awesome RPG. I haven't been this engrossed with an RPG since FF VII.
Knights of the Old Republic - A Black Falcon - 17th July 2003
Sounds good... so the battles are strategic almost to the point of being a strategy game like BG? I will have to get this...
Knights of the Old Republic - OB1 - 17th July 2003
It's a lot like BG, but with only three people per party instead of six. It's easily the best battle system I've used in an RPG before.
Knights of the Old Republic - alien space marine - 18th July 2003
This game is better suited for pc anyways so graphics dont matter.

Actually the game is perfect for the X-Box. Unlike most PC-to-console games, the controls are very well suited for a console controller. If you have an X-Box, buy this game!
