Ive been playing it for a couple hours now and dont really like it much. How long is this game? Does it take a while to get into?

So far, im looking for the wookie Big Z or something for a chick called mission.

I dont like the combat, its pretty much watching what your characters will do. I hate the way the story is told. Id take cutscenes anyday over endless dialogue. Does this game pick up?

Considering the combat and the story-telling is gonna stay the same for the rest of the game, do you really want to continue playing a game you hate?

I wouldnt say I hate it but its not too appealing to me. If it was a short game, I would probably go ahead and complete it but from what Ive heard its like 50 hrs long, dont have time like that for a game I dont like too much.

It's a strategy based game with strong story elements. It may be too hard for some anime viewers.

The combat isn't going to get much better, but cooler things start happening in a few more hours.

If you're bored after Dantooine, I don't know what else to say.

i've never liked zelda, castlevania, or resident evil. there goes your little theory. and it comes to no surprise that a huge sony fanboy doesn't like a game that's not on a sony system.

Everyone has a different opinion, it is one of my top 10 favorite games of all time. It does pick up after Dantooine though. And it is fairly short, 15-20 hours if my memory serves. But if you don't like it you don't like it I guess.

There are far more deeper complex storylines in alot of JRPGs than in KOTOR.

If you're into SW, RPGs with dialogue, or just games with good story, I would be surprised if you didn't like Kotor. It does pick up after Dantooine and the combat grows on you and gets more interesting after you get jedi powers, tho if you hate turn-based combat then maybe not... You can prolly finish it in 15h, but if you do all the side missions, talk to all the characters and actually read the dialogues you can put 30h+ in it. My favourite RPG after Fallout 1 and 2.

Well I dunno, I always felt Taris and Dantooine were a bit tedious, tho I guess you're right, it does improve a lot after you get Bastila. And Kotor2 actually does pick up too, right after Peragus that is ..unfortunately it doesn't pick up enough. :P Still loved it tho and will soon replay it with mods.

Dantooine first Jedi planet right? TBH, it was pure combat, a little tedious and spars, but it meant that you fell in love with just ripping dudes apart. Wookie planet was a bit worse, but still, fantastic game

Youre right about KOTOR2, two planets are just filler, and soon as you leave Peragus the game gets a lot better

Yeah, in Dantooine you just basically slaughter the kath hounds with the same equipment and powers everytime, it's great first time through because the story really starts from there, but there's not so much replay value. Tho the worst imo is Manaan, some really slow paced and uninteresting missions there. And Peragus is still the low point of the series, I'm gonna skip that with a mod designed specifically for that. :P

Why don't you just write a reveiw then? And no, the flow stays the same. It is the type of game where if you hate it, you won't ever like it.

Ive been playing it for a couple hours now and dont really like it much. How long is this game? Does it take a while to get into?

So far, im looking for the wookie Big Z or something for a chick called mission.

I dont like the combat, its pretty much watching what your characters will do. I hate the way the story is told. Id take cutscenes anyday over endless dialogue. Does this game pick up?

Considering the combat and the story-telling is gonna stay the same for the rest of the game, do you really want to continue playing a game you hate?

well, the combat does kind of change when you get force powers. besides, lightsaber combat looks cooler than what you start with.

In KOTOR1, I thought Taris, Dantooine and Tatooine were tedious. I made Tatooine tedious. By the time I hit the sand people, I made sure my character had Force Wave. Besides that, killing Desert Wraids was fun.

Couple of notes on Kotor2. Peragus and Telos were tedious. For my 3rd planet, I made it Nar Shaadaa. That place was great.

Also, get the PC version of Kotor2. The story is complete and it actually makes sense.

I hated the game aswell the first few hours I played.. But as soon as I got off the first planet I started enyoying it (Well that happened roughly 2,5 years after I first played it)

But really, the game is mostly story driven, if you can't get into the story after you become a jedi you will probably never enyoy the game abd could just as well quit it.
