Kotor
 

Is it that good SSSnake? I wanted to pick it up the day it came out but I was short on the funds. But now that I have the cash I might have to snag it after work tomorrow.

OMG, not till 26th september in the UK, hope its nice.

Should have my copy on tuesday-wednesday. And it will be a historic day for me (and for any other Star Wars fan of course...) - I literally grew up with the movies of the original trilogy, and this is the first time I can play a game that adds so much to the universe of the saga... not to mention that Bioware developed the game - this time, LucasArts did everything to create THE Star Wars game we were all expecting. I wonder what Sleazy thinks about Kotor...

Man I just picked up the game today after work and I think my copy has bugs in it:(

Yes, the game is that good. I got it Friday at about 4 and didn't start to play it till around 7:30. It's 5:12 right now and I have almost 11 hours logged into the game. This has been my favorite X-Box game to date. If you have an X-Box this game is a must buy. Especially if you are a Star Wars fan.

I really noticed the time issue too. Time flys so quick when your playing the game. Everything that happens wants to make you kee on playing.

I haven't had the pleasure of playing it yet. I'm almost 100% sure I'm going to love it. Especially after hearing all these great things about the game. I don't have the cash to run out and get it just yet.....well actually I do......but mortage, child, *ahem* wife. :laugh: Don't get me wrong, she lets me buy games, but I usually have to limit it to one a month....And the fact that I just bought Splinter Cell means no KOTOR till August for me. I am going to rent it though. Hmmmm......possibly tonight. ;)

EDIT - off topic here. But if any of you are FPS fans be sure to pick up this months OXM. Ghost Recon, SOF II, and Mace Griffin playable demos. Great stuff :)

Well everytime I click a specific question or response whoever I'm talking to's text will just fly by.........but the worst part is after you get like half way through level one where your party split up the game always freezes......it really sucks(not the game)

Yeah that should not happen.

I my friends version at his house and it worked fine so I brought it back to my house figured I'd get past that part that always freezes on my version then save the game and load it up with my disc..........well the game still freezes up at the same point:frust: I wonder if it could be my X-Box that's messing it up?

The following i posted in the RPG forum not knowing this post exiested. It sums up my feeling quite well

I bought this game the day it came out and have been playing it sence. Take my word for it this game is top notch. The battle system is awesome once you get used to it, there TONS of clothes, weapons, and other items. Tons of quests, beutiful graphics, GREAT storyline (What did you expect its star wars), and plenty of great dialougue. And the replay value is almost infinite. Choosing what your going to say to people has got to be the best part. Nearly each person you talk to you can either say something nice and respectful, something downright nasty, or something inbetween. Absolutely an A+ RPG,Get out and pick this one up if you havent allready

I've been reading of many people having this problem with Kotor, and most of the times they solved it in one of these ways:

1. Be sure the date and time on your Xbox are correct. It has been confirmed that the game seems to have problems saving with certain "strange" dates (for example 2067 etc.etc,).

2. Try deleting the cache of your Xbox. To do this, load three DIFFERENT games, then go back to Kotor.

Well thats a tough question. I couldnt see NOT reccomending this to anyone. But. That would be like asking "I dont like sports or ones involving hoops, should I still play basketball ?" . Although, realize the fighting system is unlike that of your usual RPG's such as Final Fantasy. Its real time and you can move about freely as you battle, it is turn based however. Id have to say if you werent a Star Wars fan or an RPG fan this game probably isnt for you. Alot of what excites me about this game is its Star Wars content, such as becoming a jedi. But still id suggest you atleast rent it and give it a try first, it is trul;y as a good as they say.

I hope this works *crosses fingers* Thanks for the info Harry

Let's hope so!

Harry first off let me just say you are the man!! Your solutions have fixed the problems I was having. I've now erected a shrine in your honor, and everytime I go to play KOTOR I give thanks to your wisdom. Thanx again man for the help............I must say I love this game!

If your a RPG fan just try it out, it got high scores on GS and IGN, it might be nice for you.

I've been wanting to get this game, but all the previews I've read have indicated that it is just an SW copy of Neverwinter Nights. With Light Side/Dark Side replacing good/evil and some additional faces, etc.

I mean, I was REALLY looking foward to this game, despite the fact that it was from BioWare and I truly despise that company for what they inflicted on the gaming world with their bugtastic frameratefest that was NWN.. and everything I've read seems to point in that EXACT same direction. KOTOR even has feats and the same character attributes, etc.

Could somebody who's bought the game answer me a few specific Q's?

How is the Frame Rate? Does it drop? If so, how often and how badly?

How does using feats work?

Is the combat system cycle-based? That meaning does your character and the enemy just stand there for seconds at a time doing nothing?

How MANY bugs have you (personally) encountered in-game?


Thanks for any answers, all.

Note, I'm a Star Wars fan and an RPG fan, but I've just had numerous bad experiences with the company that made this. And NWN got rave reviews as well.

Hey np, I'm happy my suggestion fixed the problem you were having! Maybe you could just say "may the force be with you, Harry" everytime you play the game :) Seriously, have fun!

Ill admit the game is a tad rough around the edges what with its slight variations in framerate and untimely and rather scary pauses in the menus. But as was said its all VERY over lookable considering how off the wall great this game is. I personally think this game was underated by alot of gameing websites. I do belive that sorry excuse for a gaming mag/site gamepro reported that it took and i quote "Approximately forever" to go from point a to point b. I didnt think that at all. They also went on to say it needed a location warp option, and the game has one. By hitting 5 buttons you can go from wherever you are, to your base, and then back . I think gamespot gave it a 9.1 and they gave NWN a friggin 9.4 or something. Id give this game a 9.6 myself. So can it be a bit touchy, sure, but imagine how bad it was when they set the first release date . YIKES !. For my money this game is the BEST rpg ive ever played and certainly the best X Box title out

Everybody gave NWN a high score. It was expected, and nobody wanted to hear anything about it's faults or MASSIVE bugs/framerate ineffeciency.. It was a pile of garbage that didn't even deserve a 7. Had I not gotten it as a gift from a dear friend of mine I would have mailed it to BioWare with a little note saying "You guys suck bawls. I want my 60 bucks back."

I think I'm gonna rent this one before I commit to anything real. Probably gonna go with PC permanent if I get it at all (I've got a Radeon 9700, so I prefer to use that. ^_^). Thanks for the answers though, Sssnake!

I just beat this game tonight with the light side ending. Now I guess I'm going to have to play through it again to get the second ending. I hope they make a sequel to this game with a few more planets to explore. This game seemed kinda short to me after I finished it.

You beat the game already, must put loads of hours into it, I heard it was a big game.

32 hours and some change. It's been awhile since a game as held my attention like this one. I always found playing you couldn't get anywhere unless you put at least 3 hours into the game. There was just so much dialouge and other things to keep you busy.

Finally got a chance to rent a copy.......and let just say I'm RUNNING to EB after work to pick it up! :drool: This game rules!!!!!! :scream:

I will. I can almost say that I despise Star Wars and everything similar, but I do recommend this game. KoToR has engrossed my soul, despite the fact it's Star Wars. Of course, I do love RPGs.

When is this game coming out for PC? I really want to play it but i dont own a xbox.

Despise Star Wars? Jeeze man you've just insulted my religion. The worst thing is when I meet people who still havne't watched any Star Wars.

I love this game soo much!! Its easily the best game I've played this year. I've put in 50 hours so far and I've just landed on the unknown world. I didn't expect this game to be so huge! :roll:

I just wanted to reccomend to everyone to go through the game twice. Once as a good guy, once as a bad guy. Its worth it just to see all the different reactions to your evil ways. Not to mention to see how it effects your relationship with Bastila and of course, the alternite* ending. Not to sound like a broken record but I must again give more priase to this excellent RPG . Id love to see more games come out featuring similar gameplay

Dude. How can you despise star wars?

I mean, you can despise what it's BECOME (George Lucas' senility and insistence that he direct the films raping fond childhood memories), but how can you DESPISE the classics!?

64 hours here.

I want to go thru it again as a dark jedi.

43 hours fully light, goody goody, completed.


Going through as the Dark evil B*stard, I luv being cruel to people who need my help.:D
