Which Dark Forces series was the hardest?
2007-04-24, 7:47 AM #41
Shadows of the Empire was damn near impossible, especially on the harder difficulty.

However, I'd have to say Dark Forces wins.

I had to cheat to win DF. :(

I played Shadows of the Empire on the N64 and I really liked it. It was hard but not as hard as DF in my opinion. In fact, I believe we beat that whole game and got every challenge point.

Well, you can run the setup.exe and change the keys there (strafe keys slots are present). But I still can't get a high enough mouse sensitivity, and not being able to pitch up and down with the mouse is even more frustrating/confusing at times

Oh well =\
May the mass times acceleration be with you.

I have never played Dark Forces (yes I know I need a kicking for not), but actully JK was the hardest of the games. I took me more or less 3 months to complete the first level. My dad took 6, hey I can play it much better than him. I'd like him to play it again, just to see if he remembers. Oh on that point the hardest mission in the game was actully an addon mission and there is only one level that I could complete ONCE and that was Imperial Seige On Derra IV (no offence, but I cannot remeber who the creator of it was - give me a slap for that).

As for JO it was hard, but too easy in places. Ditto for JA.

I've played many games, but JK was the hardest :).

JO had problems with being progressively harder. It would just be easy for the most part with annoying points where it just be a b****. Like help a r5 unit avoid tripmines while dodging sniper shots and blasters from a mob above.

Dark Forces takes the cake for me since ive only beaten it once and it was a b****. Detention Center, Imperial City, and the Last Level i rememebr as being hard as hell. The Snow Level and frist 4 or so levels i found easy. It just kinda got progressivly harder. After the Dragon Jaba's ship was easy. Today it would probably take me a few weeks to beat it entirely.

I beat JK over a time period for the first time of maybe a half a month or more i remember it not being hard but being long at times, today i can beat JK in a matter of minutes

MotS was like DF at first remember the Ship level when you fall under attack? :suicide:
I could never ever find out how to get back up to the bridge and when i did i always got killed and forgot to Quicksave. The swamp levels were always a pain in the azz. It was recent and by recent i mean like 3 years ago where i figured out how to beat the last level... turn your saber off??? CLEAVER . but over time i figured it out and I could probably beat it after a few days.

JO/JA were too easy for me, yea there were some hard parts like the Doomgiver levels where every room looked the same cause of horrible texturing. And The Jedi Temple in JA annoyed me where you had to keep force jumping down to the tomb to stop the baddies. Today probably a day or 2 to beat them

This thread is making me wanna play MotS through again since i havent done it in a long time :D

JA was really easy for me. I just ended up throwing everyone into a pit with Choke. <3 Choke. And lightning for stormie hoards.

JA was incredibly easy, definitely the easiest of the bunch. The AI did not know how to use the lightsaber at all. The same is true of JO, but it's even worse in JA when you throw doubles and staves into the mix.
Wikissassi sucks.

Boba Fett in JA was just sad.

Yes, the ai was dumb as hell. The non-jedi ai was so bad that I didn't even have to swing my saber at them. Just run up to them and rub your saber against them :P
The cake is a lie... THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!!!

Yes exact same for me. I even got a strategy guide and followed it to the letter and I still couldn't get it to work. came to a point where i just cheated and skipped the level.

and those phase 1 troopers were scary as hell too!

IMO JO is easier than JA because in JO, the saber deflects 100% of the shots. In JA, it doesn't. I thought that made the game a lot harder.

But in JA the enemies just plain suck *** and half of the dark jedi can just be thrown into pits.

I tried playing JK on Hard recently and couldn't get even through the first level. So I voted that. On the default difficulty setting though, the original Dark Forces was probably the hardest. The sewer labyrinth and the last level were especially annoying.

I voted mots.

I played DF a lot when I was a kid. I put in like 60+ hours a week on that game after it came out. And because of that, I really didn't have a problem with it. It still freaks me out at parts though. . .

I never beat mots. I couldn't beat the last level :suicide:
My blawgh.
