    A Black Falcon Wrote:KotOR 2, not KotOR 1. The first one's ending is fine, from what I know; I almost finished the game, but not quite, and know enough to know part of what happens at the end, but not all of it.

    KotOR 2's problem is that they only had a year to make it and didn't quite finish it, so the last part of the game was in many ways unfinished... and yes, the point is that people discuss why it is weak on forums about the game, not just 'it was weak'.

    And when the conversation turns there, I turn away.

    Quote:The point is that you already know what happens in the end of the third movie before you start it, but you watch anyway because it's interesting... reading the ending to a book doesn't tell you all the events that happen in between either.

    Yes, but I'm referring to watching/reading/playing something the first time through. The first time I play through a game, I play for the story. I save the analysis and conquest of the game for my second play. You have any idea how many times I have played through Final Fantasy X? I know the entire story, backstory, every facet of every characters personality, and a nearly encylopedic memory of the entire history of Spira. Yet I can, and do, still enjoy the game, because I'm not focusing on the storyline (not entirely, anyway) and I'm focusing soley on the game itself. I also never read FAQ's on a game on the firts play unless I'm stuck on something for a considerable length of time (like, two weeks).

    Quote:I got far enough to get very dissapointed in the way the story was going, and didn't want to wait fifty hours of gameplay to know if it'd get any better. I don't think I did the wrong thing. (and it's not just the ending to the game that was weak, it was pretty much the whole story...)

    You yourself said that LoZ is never heavily reliant on it's storylines. It's kinda like storyline in porn. It's there, but nobody really pays attention to it :D. WW was an exception, that one had quite an interesting plot. Still though...I dunno. I don't get it.

    Quote:Eh, it's not like I'll be playing that game at any point in the forseeable future...

    It doesn't matter. Putting aside the fact that it's one of the hallmark games of the PS2, the storyline is fantastic. Please, do yourself a favor and play it. It's a couple years old so you should be able to find it pretty cheap used. Then, please, please don't ruin it for yourself.

    Anyway, I'm done with this discussion here. The reviews forum isn't where a topic like this should be. If you still want to discuss this, move the pertinent posts or make a new thread elsewhere.
    The Earthworker Race has ended.  Everybody wins.
