I really liked Star Wars before I played the KOTOR games. I really loved Star Wars after I played them.
If Kotor cannot be canon then I don’t want the story…
Mechanically kotor 1 is a great game, kotor 2 is more or less broken and unfinished. Story in both of them is nonsensical and quests sometimes are just insane. Just replayed both games after 15 years.
Statement: The writing was flawless, meatbag.
When stories don’t hold up on replay… Game writing in the 2000s was famously bad with few exceptions, and we considered stuff that almost kinda made sense as really good writing purely by comparison.
I always hold onto all my grenades for the final fight in KOTOR1.
i think all i did was run away while planting mines
The slog to the boss often makes me quit during replays.
SWTOR is KOTOR3 for me.
Similar story telling, setting, dialogue, choices, morals and powers.
Only they added multiplayer and a cosmetics shop.
Oddly it’s probably become less KOTOR over time, compared to how it was at launch.
Nah The Old Republic is why we never got a 3rd KotOR. Same reason why we don’t have Elder Scrolls 6 or GTA6. Why would they make a new game when they’re still making a shitload of money off mmo games that people are still playing years later?
As soon as I found out The Old Republic had a subscription fee I knew KotOR was doomed.
And then the eternal empire happened 😕
Cool sci-fi concept, but didn’t feel very star wars to me.
That was really a bad move, in hindsight.
Painted themselves into so many corners they’ve never gotten back out of.
What was the eternal empire?
A plot device added to give the player somewhere to conquer / liberate.
A hidden empire that rivals the empire and republic, ruled by a powerful force user and with access to advanced technology.
I hated how it played though. And there was so much filler. And a subscription fee. And no mods.
And a subscription fee
To be fair, they made it free to play 13 years ago, less than a year after release.
The website still makes it look like there’s a subscription and “cartel coins” to buy. I tried to free sometime in the past 10 years and the free mode felt limited. I think you can’t sprint , or something insulting like that?
Fair enough, each to their own!
I didn’t feel it played too different to the originals, much of the filler was fun and the fee is optional, so I loved the game.
I’ve never looked into mods for the first two, except the restoration project, so have no opinion on that point!
Choices meant even less than in KOTOR and KOTOR2 too.
Is SWKOTOR still alive? I kept thinking that they shut it down
Nah, it’s been passed off by the Studio to smaller maintenance company, who are doing some nice stuff with it.
New stories keep getting added, though perhaps they’re not of the same quality as the originals!
I’m currently playing X-Wing. And what little story there is is still better than Squadrons’ shiny clean turd.
Looking forward to XWVM enabling TIE Fighter compatibility.
I should replay those… it’s been ages.
When we were fist getting info on the production of the sequel movies, I got really excited at the name “The Force Awakens” because I took that as a hint to a possible KOTOR2 storyline, with The Force Awakens introducing a Kreia like character or entire faction that recognized and learned to despise that the Force had a kind of semi-sentience or will. The second movie could continue that narrative with escalations in anti-Force sentiment in the galaxy’s non-force users who grow increasingly fed up with damage caused by the light vs darkside conflict; and the third movie, the grand finale to the trilogy of trilogies, would culminate with the Force itself being fully destroyed and freeing the galaxy from both the Jedi and Sith’s (and other smaller force-using factions’) effective subjugation of the average Joe-blow in the SW universe.
Instead we A New Hope 2.0, whatever non-memorable bs that the second movie was, and Return of the Jedi 2.0
TLJ was the best of the sequels, and is second only to ESB in the whole saga.
Glad you liked it. I didn’t care for it personally, but ‘eye of the beholder’ spiel.
Just KOTOR’s? JUST! Let me tell you something you little shit, I would burn everything Catlin Kennedy has ever built to the ground for… Well just for the opportunity, BUT! , I would also settle for the KOTOR’s over any other star wars to exist.
I’d be happy with just a remastered kotor2 tslrcm.
No! Stop giving game companies an it to only rerelease shit you can already play. Fuck remasters.
AAA is already a glut of the same shit, we don’t need more of literally the same shit
I just want them to finish the KotOR 1 remake already…
It was officially cancelled
Again? Last I checked, it was uncanceled. When did that change?
Edit: I could not find any information regarding a second cancelation. Could you please share your source with me? As far as I can tell, the game is still in early development.
I love this 😂🤩. The KOTOR games are the foundation of philosophy and lore that I measure all other Star Wars by. Really great stuff.
