[QUOTE="kentlucky"][QUOTE="REVENGEotSITH"]

[QUOTE="Harbadakus"][QUOTE="Utensilman"]im not saying that they should revamp the entire system, Just saying i want them to Improve... make it more exciting. It will have to because it doesn't have the name "Star Wars" to fall back on.jvonrader

I don't think of Kotor as a 'starwars game'. I think of it as a Bioware RPG.

Thank you. Finally, someone else who agrees with me. I've been saying this ever since the first KOTOR came out. Yes, it had wookies, tuskens, and lightsabers, but it never really felt like a true Star Wars game. No tie-in to the two trilogies, so I never felt as drawn-in as I probably should have. Why not make it 100 years before Phantom Menace so at least you can feel like it has more to do with the Prequel Trilogy?



KOTOR felt more like Star Wars than these last three pile of crap movies. 

I agree - I don't know what the others above are talking about, because KOTOR felt more "Star Wars" than any other Star Wars game I've ever played.

I disagree with his statement about combat though. The combat is the main reason I'm buying Mass Effect. Looks sweet.

I know that many many people are big fans of KOTOR, and claim that it is their favorite starwars game(s)..

Am i the only one that was bored to hell with this game? My friends went ape **** for it when it released. I even bought the game to try to get into it. But this game was just so boring, it wasn't bareable.

Mass Effect seems to be set up the same as KOTOR in gameplay. I really hope the try to appeal to gamers like me, that want a little more than glorified turn-based combat.

PS.......I am a Lemming so this isn't some fanboy rant....

Its boring if you absolutely hate that sort of genre....be it RPG or just star wars crap. I personally love KOTOR and I cant wait for Mass Effect.

I didn't like KOTOR either, which is why I'm kinda weary about hyping Mass Effect.

[QUOTE="cakeorrdeath"][QUOTE="ironwarrior2"]Yeah, KOTOR was verying boring unless you are in a certain state of mind, if you get my drift. :wink:fatzombiepigeon



No I don't get your drift.

It means if you are not turned on by the game, it's not for you. Obviously ironwarrior gets turned on by KOTOR.

Dont worry, leave him with his Fiddy Cent and NFS games!

I hope they don't try to make the game appeal to people lik you, the original KOTOR was amazing and you're in the minority that disagrees.

I guess I could see how it would bore you. I'm the same way with most JRPGs. Haven't played one in years (though I occasionally go back and revisit Chrono Trigger and FFVI-VII), I just find the whole turn based combat to be boring as heck in comparison with real time combat (like jade empire and oblivion).

KOTOR was absolutely amazing. One of my favorite games of all time easily. I could see how one could think of it as boring if you like fast paced liner games though.

Kotor was amazing, I loved every minute of it, and I'm more hyped for ME than any other game. Guess everyone's got different opinions.

KOTOR, my favourite Star Wars game? Son, KOTOR is my favourite game. Period. I felt the same as you when I first played it. The game starts off a little rough (especially seeing as how I wasn't used to slower paced RPGs) but as soon as you become a Jedi, it picks up. If you can force yourself to Dantooine, you'll probably get through the rest of the game with joy, and cherish it as the rest of us do.

I bought the first one when it came out and thought it was a great story, I only made it 6 hours in and became annoyed with the combat.  I despise turn based combat, which is why I can't play JapRpgs.  Fable had a great combat system, but that game was too short, once it got good, it was over.

From the shots I've seen of the game, it looks like the combat is real-time 3ps which would be the tops.

I hope you despise Mass Effect and think it's the worst game ever.

So I can disagree with you.

My friends can't stand KOTOR or any RPG's for that matter, but they have that "bull in a china shop" mentality...they can't appreiciate story and character growth and substance.  They pass through cut scenes without batting an eyelash...i feel you may be part of this group of gamers....

We can't like everything can we? Sports game nutz could argue with me, but I don't like sports games.. Madden could be one of those, sadly I have a copy of it free and 2 other sports games laying somewhere idling to be never played.

No, you wasn't the only one TC. Although KOTOR is a great work, it isn't a game for me. Mass Effect? I don't know, it looks entertaining, and i don't think it will be like KOTOR. At least the videos that i saw the player have "control" over the character during battles.

i have kotor for xbox and i found it to be extremely boring too, i bought into the hype..i finished it from start to finish just cuz i was always waiting to see where the excitement was. i bought mass effect...it is a little better but it starts getting repetitive and boring towards the end also..i havent finished it yet (i have pc version), but i will try soon just to get it over with. the mako side missions got boring fast it was the same thing over and over and over...kinda pointless.

Wow, there's like every mod in System Wars in this thread.

I honestly don't see how you could find KOTOR boring unless you got stuck all the time.

With Mass Effect, it's a lot more action oriented but it gets boring if you get stuck on a driving part.

KOTOR is easily the most time I've spent on a single-player game; I replayed it at least 5 times. Mass Effect I only finished once... it's boring compared to KOTOR.
