StarWars KOTOR

[YOUWIN]

BG2 has taught me to take my time and stick my nose in everywhere.

50 hours and still going strong


(Minus the odd hour here or there where I just let it hang in the middle of a conversation and did something else for a bit...but still! I'm showing quality slow, obsessive compulsive mad skilz here, honed over many...blahaaa etc)

im not the only one then - am just shy of 80 hours and am just about to face Malak - just tried a coule of times and got stuffed.... and i need sleep badly, tis so frustrating knowing i'm gonna have to grind through another days work, constantly looking at the time, before getting the chance to finish the game - i was looking forward to completing it tonight......

argh!!

[JRMacumber]

80 hours...?



You da

[JoeK]

One last Star-FOrge planet to do!

The game has taken over from Viewtiful Joe as my official game of the year (sponsored by Fanta...)!

It's just superb. It's a real pleasure to have a game that I really look forward to playing each day- just for an hour or so, after work.

And, the great thing is that I have a huge desire to play it again when I've finished! Whether I do the Dark Side thing, or just go a 'little' way Dark, I dunno.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again- It's got everything the movies have- but on an EPIC scale.

And it has a bit of that 'Original SW' humour in it- I like the whole 'Meatbags' thing going on.

And am I the only one who just didn't register the 'huge twist' in the plot?

I felt a bit of a berk, but it's a damn good twist...

Anyway, brilliant brilliant game.

Bioware, I love you long time.

[PeteJ]

I tried and I tried last night, but still can't finish the game. Came so close once, got him down to the final energy bar...and then suddenly a move makes me dizzy and he easily takes me out.

Gah. Bah. Bleh.

[JRMacumber]

I am finding it SO damn difficult being a bad guy! I'm just not cut out for hurting people, especially women. If it's some asshole guy, sure, I can threaten his life and take it if needs be, but a helpless female... Gah, makes me hurt to harm them. I never imagined it would be so hard to be bad, ya know? But I'm trying... I'm trying...

Oh, by the way, Force Drain is the straight up shizzle.

HK-47 has to be one of the best videogame characters ever. He constantly has me in hysterics .

[Kerraig UK]

I didn't decide before hand whether to consciously be good or evil, I thought i'll just make moral choices as and when they arrive and that'll tell me something about my personality. I knew at that dance audition on taris when you help that chick out that i'm just not cut out to be a bastard. When it says "dance close to her or run around her in circles then take a dive" I knew i'd get dark points, but I knew i'd have plenty of time to change em back, so i was pretty sudre messing up her rehearsal wouldnt damage my game, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I actually felt guilty. Just like I felt guilty when i threatened that chick over the price of HK-47.

[Ish]

Heh heh - I suffered from similar moral dilemma's. The

lady on Tatooine who's husband had died and who wanted me to buy the skull thing

was the end of my dark aspirations. I just couldn't do it.... By the end of the game I was about as light as you could be

[JRMacumber]

But see, you wouldn't have earned dark points for taking a dive! I did, and I got nothing! Nothing! PIssed me off. If I'm going to go through the trouble of being bad, reward me for it. THere have been a few other choices where I went the bad route, and wasn't given points. Sucks...

[PeteJ]

There are times when trying to be good that you don't get points, wereas you would if bad.

I just finished it

Did the final battle almost without a scratch and did around 120 damage per attack. Total ownage.

Finished now though

[JRMacumber]

Did the final battle almost without a scratch and did around 120 damage per attack. Total ownage.

No, just ownage. Total would have been if you'd killed him the first time *cough*Like I did*cough*.

[Rabasaurus]

Malak = Attack, Medi Pak, Attack, Medi Pak, Attack, Medi Pak, Attack, Medi Pak, Attack, Medi Pak, Attack, Medi Pak,

When he makes a run for it, Force Shield, Adrenaline etc etc

Rinse and repeat.

Or you could make it a whole lot easier by.....

use Force lightning on the Jedi he likes so much. kill them and he wont cause you half as much bother.

[Gr0ver]

Just finished it in 53 hours odd.

I let that rah-rah, jolly hockey-sticks, horse riding Bastilla

get killed. I mean I was nice to her and everything. I wanted to turn her back to the lightside and stuff. But I'm not going to tell her I love her ffs. She's far too unsympathetic a character for you to even have feelings approaching love for her. It's a bit annoying that the only way of avoiding having to kill her, is by saying you love her. I mean, I was supportive and kind throughout but how the hell do you fall in love with someone as nausiating as her....bleh....**** her.

Great game.

[PeteJ]

Slight probleg facing Malak when you have no Force Lightning or any offensive powers, you are simply unable to take out the other Jedi. I took down his energy a full 8 times without hardly a scratch. I did have the Forge Robes though, which are lovely...

[JRMacumber]

Qel Dromo's robes were pretty nice too. Damn near as good as the Forge Robes.
