I haven't played it, and I'm on a star wars buzz right now (playing through JA and loving it since I never got to play it before...). So, is it worth $10? (Steam?)

Yup

yes.

I don't get it, is this a rhetorical question?

Hah, well I guess I will be buying it once I finish JA.

Absolutely.

It's probably the best Star Wars game I've played.

It wasn't my cup of tea, but yeah it's a pretty solid game.

Besides DF, JK and the X-Wing/TIE-Fighter series, it's the best Star Wars game in existence. It's arguably better than any of those, too.

Worth $10 and then some.

Worth it, although if you want it cheaper, I saw there was a 25% off KoToR promotional code on D2D. Just search for Direct2drive promotional codes.

kotor is worth 10 of these things you call dollars yes.

Kotor 2 im not sure, since it borked at the end and got messy with the storyline

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

Oh... don't get me started. I wanted to rant on KOTOR2, as I've been playing it recently... and yes. ITS DEPRESSING.

KOTOR 1 was an EXCELLENT GAME, however... what the hell happened with KOTOR 2?

For starters...

The graphics in KOTOR 1 are superior to the graphics in KOTOR 2. I've never seen a sequel to a video game have inferior graphics.

KOTOR 1 is a very stable game, KOTOR 2 on the other hand is littered with bugs that ruined my game experience. Such as the character randomly freezing up when hitting a dead body or wall in a wrong position. Sometimes, the story was revealed in a non logical order. Everyone was talking about Malachor V as if I knew what the hell it was, and the respones also suggested I knew what it was. However later on in the game, I was given a better idea from it, and THEN I found out what the hell this Malachor business was all about. It also messes around with story as Ruthven says, in a not very nice fashion, it also poses more questions than it answers.

KOTOR 2 is a game that needs to be remade. KOTOR 1 is game that you must have.

I still haven't actually completed KoTOR.

Got up to the very last fight and concluded "there is no way whatsoever I can win as I am, outside of cheating".

So I left it there.

It was booted out the door early. Even I know that.

This happened to my friend Andrew. He ended up replaying the game with a character that was specifically designed to beat the end boss and then just destroyed him.

Does the PC version still have the notorious glitches and bugs?

I have KotOR but I haven't installed it yet.

I built a terrible character my first time through KotOR and had to run around throwing sticky grenades at Malak in order to beat him. That's the only part of the game that really punishes you for a bad build.

But yeah, worth it, best Star Wars game I've ever played, etc.

Did you have the same problem with KotOR and the Revan plot line?

Shoot... I had KotOR but had to reformat right before I beat it the first time around, and lost my save game. Started a new game a while back, but never got around to finishing that one either. I should boot it up and play again.

But yes, it's worth 10 bucks.

lucasarts put the pressure on the developers to finish the game so they rushed and we get a half a solid game followed by a mess

does the new version on steam actually work with current drivers? i remember playing through kotor a year or so ago and i had to downgrade my drivers to get things working right.

if the case is that current drivers work it might be worth purchasing again.

Wow, I thought I was the only idiot who didn't actually complete the game because the last battle was impossible.

Hopefully next playthrough I'll get to the end and finish him off.

last battle was not impossible... i did it on my first try and i usually fail hard at RPGs

Remember to keep a just-after-taris save file so you can play the game again without suffering through that crap.

Huh? I thought the KoTOR version on Steam is the same exact game as the retail.

Yes, it is.
I wish I kept a post-taris save file, that is all that's stopping me from restarting.
I refuse to use someone elses save, because then it breaks MAH IMMERSION.

No? Why would it bother me, it was perfectly developed and revealed. Unlike KOTOR 2 that is randomly showing random bits of the story, making no sense most of the time.

Nevermind. When I posted that last night I was under the impression that it had been done with a similar plot device in both stories. The more I try to remember of KotOR the more I realise it wasn't the case. As in, people actually did talk about Revan and the stuff he/she did. The thing is, while KotOR 2 was quite obviously rushed I never felt confused by it, it just ended weakly compared to what it could have all lead up to.

I need to finish KotOR 2. I beat 1.

Well, you can't actually finish KotOR 2 no matter what you do.

Also, I decided to play through KotoR 1 and 2 again after the restoration pack for 2 would be released... it's been a long wait.

Honestly? I loved the expanded mechanics for customisation in KotOR 2, even if the game was barely playable otherwise.

The mechanics in 2 were great. Item customizability was wonderful and there were a ton of special items. I thought KotOR 2 was great, just incomplete.

This.

KotOR 2 had the potential of being much better than KotOR 1. IMO the character developement was much better. I liked that you were actually able to really influence the characters.
It's really a shame that it was never finished.

Kotor 2 wasnt as bad as many think. You were playing a jedi who'd gone to war and come back something different. You were basically a jedi who'd used a truly hideous weapon of mass destruction and killed countless enemies and allies alike.

The characters were pretty good too, an evil wookiee, a traitor, a women driven almost mad by the force.
