Which Jedi Knight games do you (still) own?
2007-08-01, 6:51 PM #1
Just thought I'd do a poll on this for me to get an idea on which game is owned by most of the people here. Will play a large role in determining which game would be the most worthwhile to create a single player level for for the upcoming SP contest.

Oh dammit, I lied and put MotS, I don't own that... but the rest, I do (including DF ;))

None of the above. :o

JA was one of the best pirating decision I've made in my life, god that game was awful.

All of them. And I have Dark Forces.

Bah, this stinks. I just discovered that my jedi outcast cd has a scratch that's preventing me from installing it :( I'll have to make a stop to rite aid to see if I can get some scratch remover to fix it. I really don't want to spend 30 bucks on amazon just to replace the disc :(

Still have them all sitting in my CD rack reserved for games.

Technically, I still own them all. I just don't know where they all are right now.

JK and MotS somewhere in boxes in the unfinished part of my basement...

Dark Forces through MotS. Really, the only ones worth having.

Outcast has some amazing multiplayer though.

JK, MotS, JO

Played the campaigns for JK and MotS a hell of a lot more than JO. And now that I think about it... JK was really the first and only PC game I've played online and actually enjoyed 90% of the time. Never found anything after JK I liked as much, and have since moved from PC to Xbox.

I concur. I recently introduced my housemate to JK, and he's been loving the multiplayer experience. It is really quite intoxicating.

I have them all, and I did enjoy JA, except for the name "Jaden" which is the lamest thing in all existence. But I liked a lot of the levels, and I loved the sabers! I have dark forces as well, but it's really, really hard to get into playing that game for some reason. I think it's the lack of mouselook.
2007-08-01, 10:06 PM #24
I own JK and MotS. No longer own JO / JA.

You should have listed DF too, though.

I used to have JO legally too in the past, not anymores.

I have all of them.

JA's only redeeming feature is the improved saber combat over JO.
2007-08-02, 12:07 AM #29
The level design seemed better overall in JA, apart from the overuse of coloured lighting in certain places. Then again, I haven't really played it for over a year, so I don't remember. I remember Vader's castle was pretty awesome, though.

Oh yeah, and I've got everything from Dark Forces onward. I haven't played most of them in a few years, though.

There should be another poll asking which we'd actually play if levels were released for them... (JK and MOTS. JO/JA ONLY if they're REALLY good)

Jack: "Why not!"
2007-08-02, 12:20 AM #31
JK and MotS... yes, even though they don't work properly on my comp.

JO and JA? There are good levels? Last I checked the only SP level worth playing was 'Party Crusher'.

JO has the best story, IMO. And probably the best levels. The only level worth a nickel in JA was that one underground with all the blue crystals.

I thought most of JA's level design was bland, I liked Hoth levels personally but oh dear god I can't forget the horrendous Coruscant and Imperial lava planet levels.

JO, well, it never went as down as JA did level-wise, but I have to say Imperial base after another was kind of repetitive, but it actually never bothered me that much to not play through JO like 50 times in 2002.

A shame I don't seem to play through games that much anymore :\

But story-wise? I'd say Dark Forces (not a JK game I know), since the rest are pretty much "EMPIRE HAS A CHEEZBURGER I MEAN NEW SUPERWEAPON AND THE NEW REPUBLIC IS LIKE OHMYGODWEHAVETOGETRIDOFIT" and that got old in the 1990s. Then again, I have to admit that MotS's final levels had emotional impact on me - so awesome -, I don't think any other Star Wars game has done that. Except for KotOR and, hell, even KotOR 2 up to the lame-*** endings. Hm.

All of them. Only JA installed, though.

I got JK and Mots in the same packet as JO (for insignificant extra price), but somehow after playing JO the controls in the old games, especially saber fight and force powers, felt lacking, and thus I never finished them. I wish I had bought them years earlier when they were still top class games.

I thought the lava one was cool, but it's been a while.

JO nor JA come anywhere near the level design of DF or JK. DF and especially JK had some amazing puzzles. Take the valley puzzles in JK. Spread across several levels, you had to do all that stuff with the cargo lift and stuff to get down into the valley. If you replay it and pay attention to the level instead of just hacking stormtroopers :hist101:, you'll find that it's actually quite brilliant.

Originally posted by FastGamerr:

Oh yes it did. Don't you remember those ridiculous jumping puzzles? The Doomgiver comm stuff? It was a giant room with 27 cubes that you had to jump between and press the right symbol in order to change the comm frequency. That made no sense. That kind of thing might have been acceptable in a side scroller a decade ago, but not today.

Yeah, that's Kevin J. Anderson style writing right there. DF involved a superweapon, the Dark Troopers, but they were so much more feasible than KJA's other crap that it was kind of cool. JK wasn't a superweapon at all in the traditional sense, and was more about Dark Jedi, which I thought made it very redeeming.

KotOR was even stronger. Waaay stronger. The writing in those two games, especially the first, is easily the best of any Star Wars game. It's some of the best in most games.

Hm, I should really replay through KotOR's again, I seem to forget them all along-

I still own all of them, though I don't know where any of them are and I remember my MOTS CD was on the brink of extinction long ago.
