Let's have ourselves a Star Wars vidya thread.
What are your favourite SW games?
What are your least favourite SW games?
If you could make any game in the SW universe without any restrictions, what kind of game would you make?
And why will the VR game suck so much?

>Dream game
This is just a rough synopsis that takes EU elements as it pleases, if it's not accurate to the era then excuse me.
Set some time after RotJ. You're a bounty hunter who is taken into the Imperial Remnant for your skill and made into an assassin. Story-wise I'm not too keen on, though it would involve Luke Skywalker and a Jedi apprentice of his who would serve as the main antagonists of the game. Your missions would be set to disrupt the New Republic, so things like assassination (duh), infiltration, espionage etc. With each mission completed, you would be able to buy items like guns, gadgets, armor which you would could customize to your liking. Optional and I do mean optional Force training segment included. The final mission would involve defending the Imperial Remant home planet from a New Republic invasion (split into two segments, space and ground battle) wherein the only option is to destroy said planet in order to keep it from falling into the wrong hands, a sort of noble sacrifice thing. The ending would imply you died (think SotE true ending), but in reality you would be given a choice that ties into a sequel.

>If you could make any game in the SW universe without any restrictions, what kind of game would you make?
There are endless game concepts you could pull off with the Star Wars license, but if I was given the opportunity I'd probably start by going back to basics. For instance, how about a Dark Forces 2 inspired jedi FPS following the original trilogy from Luke's perspective, maybe throwing in a few bits of the EU along the way like his story from Shadows of the Empire.
I'm surprised LucasArts didn't make more use of Luke as a game protagonist past the SNES era. I mean I'm glad that they put so much effort into new ideas and characters, but they could have printed a ton of easy money by simply cloning their best-selling video games and to make movie tie-in versions.

Gather the devs of Star Wars:Rebellion and Victoria II and let them play each other's game for a few months, then order then to make a high-quality Star Wars GSG with trade routes/other economic factors, lore-accurate galaxy map, a meaningful tech tree and a focus on the grand scale (rather than micro-managing buildings on planets, 4X style). Additionally, get the modern Paradox Interactive devs to clean up the interface and the EaW devs to make models.

A less linear version of Jedi Academy would be great. You know, being able to interact with other Jedi students between missions, have missions partner you up with different Jedi and have your reputation change depending on how you perform.

Boarding the death star is retarded but the retarded battlefront playerbase thinks it didn't go far enough. They think flying an x-wing is too hard compared to randomly running around shooting people and it should never have been done.
They're also complaining because they made helmets mandatory for every stormtrooper so now nobody can show off their special snowflake imperial OC.
Death Star is probably the best looking battlefront DLC and best playing because it has actually involved space battles and made the TIE defender an actually dangerous ship. But once again the playerbase doesn't care because as far as they're concerned what Battlefront is all about is running around aimlessly showing off how special you are.

But all stormtroopers were helmeted in OT movies, and this game is supposed to be the crown of OT pandering? You know what, fuck it, I'm done making sense of these Disney fans.

This just comes back to the fundamental problem of Battlefrontfield: There is no incentive to work as a team.
Since everything is level based you're either carrying your team or dragging behind until you level up and THEN carry your team. You get into the mindset that because you either dropped more money or earned a better gun you're a better player when it's just that the guy you're shooting has no access to the better guns you're using. So why SHOULDN'T you have your helmet off if you're actually this super badass OC second only to Darth Vader? Hell, that probably appeals to people's shitty deviantart fantasies even more to say they're somehow more integral to the rebellion than Luke and Leia and Han.
Death Star DLC may have departed from how the films go but it's still very much a slap of reality to a lot of people. You now need to wear your helmet like every other generic stormtrooper. You need to pilot a fighter identical to every other fighter on your side and your skills are what decides how well you do instead of firing a dubstep weapon. You need to secure a specific individual and get to a specific point. It's very much based around the idea of the kind of regimented conflict most of Star Wars battles actually are. Shit like TIE fighters having missiles and storming the death star may be stupid from a lore perspective but it evens the playing field and doesn't give you excuses as to why you suck.
If you watch lets plays you can see that a lot of the problems players have aren't because their fighters suck(even if they do), or because a specific mechanic is broken(which is usually is), but because they insist on trying to go off alone and get shredded whenever they run into a group. I think the one guy I saw who was consistently doing well was the only guy who explicitly realized that this wasn't a scenario where you could run off alone and actually tried teamwork.

A lot of what you're describing has been what has been going on with most FPS since 2007. And it hit beloved franchises centered on teamwork hard like Battlefield, Rainbow Six, etc. It became less about working with a team and more about running around shooting people in a cramped arena but the game isn't as fast paced as old PC shooters like Quake so it isn't as exciting. They took CoD's progression system where they need to level up to get a new weapon and those new weapons are either straight up better that the previous weapon or better suited to playstyles that would become expected of most players (essentially it looks like the same problem). It makes it worse when DLCs introduce new weapons that force you to do stupid challenges that distract from the primary gameplay (Battlefield 3 did this because CoD used to do it with perks and gun attachments). Even more worse is when there's nothing for the player (newbie or someone with XXX hours) to work with to incentivize working as a team. DICE/EA did that shit with their Battlefield games since Bad Company 2 where classes were extremely useless and you had to farm kills just so you can get basic shit like medkits, defibrilators, and ammo boxes. Battlefront has nothing to allow players to work as a team aside from being able to spawn under some random teammate's asshole.
I also noticed that a lot of Battlefront's gameplay requires sitting around waiting for special NPCs like Y-Wings or AT-ATs to do something that players of previous Battlefront or Battlefield games would have done for themselves. It's bad enough there's no real content or anything for players to do in that game.
As far as Stormtroopers and helmets go. The charm of Stormtroopers is their armor which would obviously include their helmets. The few Imperial personnel that didn't wear armor or helmets were officers. I'm assuming that there's some problem with Disney fags dressing up as officers so their special snowflake faces would show (They have customizable faces now or something? I thought you just pick from a pool of 10 or so preset heads)

to be fair, this has been in sw games long before ea took the reigns
i'm actually kinda glad they made it so stormtroopers have helmets on no matter what. yeah, you can still pick your gender and you can unlock skins as you level up, which takes a long fucking time for no good reason other than forcing players to play the game, at least in call of duty and battlefield you fly through the progression and can prestige to earn other shit.

This of course just makes things worse because you start out with the standard issue rebel and imperial equipment and then unlock special snowflake weapons used by actual named characters later. Which means in an average game expect 90% of the imperial stormtroopers to be running around with either giant Gatling guns or DL-44's like they're Han fucking Solo.
Not to mention that while you can at least fake your way through with low level guns because the effective difference isn't TOO extreme, they added CCG elements just to fuck you up even further. So now you need to level up, collect in game currency, get a card, then spend even more to upgrade that card. Meaning if you're thrown in at level one on your first game as a rebel soldier you're handed a pistol with no range, no grenades, no anti vehicle, no backup weapons, and no defenses. This on top of you being a newfag who obviously doesn't have any experience with the game and has no actual way to know that your gun has no range.
If you're new there's no way you could possibly keep up with experienced players. If you're experienced there's no reason to work with new people because they'll only slow you down because they have no shields or jets or good weapons.
The only way to improve your situation is to spend like 20 hours on the game just to get to everyone else's regular baseline. But since the game is online only this means you better get ready to buy Sony or Microsoft's online service subscription for a month. If you're on PC all that really means is congratulations, get ready to stick EA's spyware on your computer.

I can only assume that's because Overwatch came out and anyone who wanted to play a competitive shooter jumped ship. I've never played that game so it's not an endorsement of quality or design but that's clearly the more popular game right now. Death Star saw some resurgence in popularity as people tried it out but the overall playerbase and culture has very much moved on to newer sexier shooters.

It speaks volumes that EA is still harping on Battlefield DLC this late as their big Star Wars thing. You'd assume Bioware would be on a Canon version of KOTOR as soon as they got the license. But given Bioware has literally nothing on the plate after ME4 and has been hemorrhaging money and talent for years that may actually be their next big project.

The writing and the visuals. Inquisition was a masterclass on what not to do. Hair was always either painted on or hovering an inch above the scalp. Horns looked like cheap movie effects rather than something more natural to the characters. Weapons and equipment with ridiculous details that detracted from the overall aesthetic. Shit, half the time you were lucky if everything on the model loaded in correctly.
But yes, the writing on inquisition is going to be the caliber you could expect from KOTOR if it were remade in 2016. If I'm right expect Juhani to be an out loud and proud lesbian who's entire arc is about being gay. Expect HK-47 to be oh-so-funny and have a new wisecrack literally every other line. Expect to get a Mission romance despite Mission not even being sixteen, or aging her up just for that.
And expect fucking everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, to have Kylo Ren lightsabers.

Speaking of DL-44s and Han Solo why the fuck does everyone do that "left arm out like Han Solo" thing whenever they use a one handed blaster? They do that retarded arm thing even when they run and they look so stupid. Han does it once or twice and all of a sudden everyone acts like he does that all the time. The only EU game I played that did that was Shadows of the Empire and Dash didn't keep his arm out when running.
Of course, pick a rifle and they still run retarded, that fucking retarded wiggling worm look to their run they had since Battlefield 4 I thought I would get motion sick watching a let's player play the game in 3rd Person like that.

Only ever played a handful or so SW games, including two mobile games.
Been thinking about replaying KotOR I & II – I played them years ago, and I was too young to appreciate the complexity of KotOR II in particular.
Enjoyed the hell outta the first Force Unleashed on Xbox 360, and Republic Commando on PC. Should probably revisit those as well – including Force Unleashed II – ’cause there ain’t gonna be any new good SW games now that Disney is running shit.

Also I'm sure there is enough old lore autists for art and inserting nuanced philosophy into it. Problem is that there'd be no money for hours worked, doubt even donations, probably bring in Disney's lawyers because mod tools in a Star Wars game would kill EA's crap.

That UI brings back a lot of memories. Those fucking "helper" droids would talk so much.
I was never into much online playing because I had a habit of micromanaging and taking forever to do things. I wasn't very fun to play with.
The only time I ever did play online was against a friend of mine. The game came down to a final huge fleet vs fleet battle, and everything ran so slowly with so many ships on shitty connections that the battle took nearly an hour. i lost
I'm glad old games actually came on CDs, and I can install and play them whenever I want. I feel sorry for kids nowadays who are basically renting games from a distribution service.

>Favorite
I am not seeing enough love for Star Wars Galaxies. SWG was a pretty excellent game. It is still my favorite MMO, at least Pre-CU. It made a lot of design decisions that pretty much forced the community to interact in meaningful ways such as the entertainer/medic trees being essential to remove wounds/fatigue, crafted items being superior to looted items, etc. The one char per server and the ability to dropand learn professions throughout the life of your character meant that there wasn't the alt-itis effect; it was easier to recognize people that you'd seen around the galaxy before.
It was also great that you could build characters that weren't focused on combat and still have fun. I generally love combat, but having the freedom to play a dedicated crafter is fun. A lot of games just have crafting as a tacked on. In wow, crafting is seldom profitable and mostly serves as a money sink. Something like the entertainer profession doesn't exist at all.
>Least Favorite
There were a few I played so briefly that I have little lasting memory of them such as the EP II game for the GBA, but I mostly ignored them. Of the games I played for any appreciable period of time, probably Jedi Power Battles for the PS1.
>Any game without restrictions
I'd like an SWG2. Keeping the foundation of the original and adding things like procedurally generated open world dungeons that can change up occassionally, less repetitive missions, a real z axis, capital ships, and some more content and pvp that didn't rely on the war like smuggler missions and non-jedi bounties.

Esoteric is probably the right word for SWG combat. The HAM bar is pretty unique among games I've played. I don't know that I ever really "got" HAM back on live which is why I was never a PVP master. Though I will disagree about the aging. I think its aged alright all things considered. As for the polish, I'll take a rough gem over a well polished turd any day.

Not one of the best SW games, but it honestly had a lot of potential and could have been much better. Essentially all the Rebel ground units in Empire at War are just alternate versions of the FoCom units. Empire at War fixed some of the things wrong with it, but FoCom has fully 3D environments whereas EaW is 2D. Also EaW removed the shields from the Rebel attack tank for some reason, I don't know what the fuck.

if we were talking about the second one i could get down with y'all, but the first was objectively shit no matter how you look at it. no offline content besides some co-op missions (they had to add offline starfighter assault and conquest because people ree'd long enough) and a dozen game modes that nobody played, which were most of the time requirements for the bounty hunter unlocks. had they allowed for progression to go between single and multiplayer with more offline modes, then it would have been a much better game. not to mention the hero and map fiasco at launch. the final product was an alright game, not battlefront but an okay shooter, but launch was a goddamn nightmare.

It is at the base level a mechanically sound game.
That's all the good that can be said for it and while that should be good enough it is massively damaged by, in the single player, having an absolute abortion of a story and in the multiplayer allowing essentially random powerups to dictate the flow of games. Only space combat feels exempt from this.
You will get a better FPS from Jedi Knight games and better grunt experience from the classic one.

It was kind of arcade-ish in gameplay but surprisingly fun. It also had a few nice additions to the core plot like Anakin being the one to duel and kill Mace Windu and facing off against Cin Drallig and Serra Keto. Plus, I found it hilarious how instead of being moody and mopey, Anakin is a wisecracking smartass who is all "DARK SIDE! FUCK YEAH!" once he turns evil.
I also liked the alternate ending where Anakin kills Obi-Wan and Darth Sidious and then becomes Emperor of the galaxy.

When even Wookiepedia can't adequately explain what the fuck happens in the last fifth of your game's story, you done fucked up somewhere. The most fun part in that entire segment was fighting Darth Nihilus, basically because it's the only point at which the game stops trying to be profound and just lets you slice up a Sith Lord and save a planet from annihilation.

TPS/RPG, somewhat Mass Effect ish except actually good, set before ANH. You're an agent with Imperial Intelligence tasked with hunting down renegade Jedi and Separatist-sympathizing holdouts. Sequel would be set during ESB where you have to uncover a conspiracy involving subversive elements in the corporate world secretly funding and arming the Rebels. Final game would be set post-ROTJ during the fall of Coruscant; you'd have to escape the Rebel invasion and flee to a safehouse in the Coruscant undercity. You'd spend the game trying to reassemble your team, make contacts in the criminal underworld, evade Rebel martial law and escape offworld to rejoin the Remnant.

This should not matter at all as long as your character is properly built and has the right equipment. I was able to annihilate anyone in front of me just by spamming force storm a few times (this was on hardest combat difficulty). By the end of the game your player character should be stupidly overpowered and the only thing that should be even mildly challenging is the fight with Traya, and maybe some of the companion's standalone segments (if you haven't been building them right).

I didn't play Trooper. I tried Consular, Knight and Smuggler. They were all shit except the first chapter for Smuggler. Republic stories are just bad overall; the whole faction is written for ten year olds.
The Sith Warrior is just okay. His companions are mostly garbage. Unpopular opinion: I felt that much of KOTFE and the first half or so of KOTET was better written and more interesting than most of the class content material

I liked Valkorian, yeah. Initially he had quite a bit of depth to him and I really enjoyed his conversations with the player. I also really liked the locations you visited in KOTFE and KOTET. I thought most of them were refreshingly different. Unfortunately the last half of KOTET was rushed and the story was prematurely ended because the playerbase was very vocal about its desire to return to the original "Republic vs. Empire" theme. This meant there were a lot of cut corners and ridiculous stupid shit, like non-Force-sensitive characters using lightsabers to defeat Valkorian.

I liked it, it was pretty fun. It's also one of the last games I remember where you could unlock shit like bonus missions and characters instead of that all being DLC. Sad thing is, if the game was released today, you just know that it would be, with each individual character priced at $10.
I also liked the additional stuff they threw in, like Anakin being the one to duel Mace Windu instead of Sidious (which was apparently the case in an early draft of the film but was cut out).

Don't forget the game making the horrible choice of actually allowing your MMO character to become absolute ruler of a faction that in like a week brought both the Republic and Empire to it's knees so that any story missions after that require a complicated excuse as to why you can't use your literal infinite fleet to glass all your issues from orbit or just ignore them and have you engage in diplomacy with two factions that are basically flys buzzing around your OP mary sue head.
They should have just stayed gung-ho with the very single player focused story shit expanding on your character being leader of a new faction because at least that has some interesting possibilities. Their extremely half assed attempt to get back to Republic vs. Empire stuff falls flat on it's face.

It's worse than you think. It's not just your character picking up a lightsaber and fighting Valkorian with it. It's a special ability you get to channel the Force to fight him. It turns your weapon into a lightsaber and you get access to a timed set of Force powers. My Imperial Agent was dueling the Emperor of the known galaxy with a saber while simultaneously throwing multiple Force abilities at him.

Sure, it does help a bit, but I don't see why a character who is not Force-sensitive, who has never used a lightsaber, and has spent his entire military career using blaster rifles, thermal detonators and various tech gadgets to destroy his enemies, would spawn himself a lightsaber to fight with.
The core issue is that Bioware pretty much wrote most of the last half of both KOTFE and KOTET with the Jedi Knight in mind.

Kind of but not indefinitely. You can buy most of if not all of the locked down gameplay features (toolbars, highest quality armor access, and other nuisance restrictions) with in-game credits. People frequently buy these unlocks off the Cartel Market and put them on the Galactic Trade Network auction house to earn a bunch of in-game currency for themselves.
The only trouble is that many of these unlocks on the market cost hundreds of thousands to millions of credits, and as a free or preferred player you can only have access to a maximum purse of 300,000 with the rest being stored in escrow. You'd have to cough up $14.99 for one month of play, grind up the credits you'd need, and then buy out all of the unlocks. This would be far cheaper than buying the unlocks for yourself directly from the Cartel Market cash shop.
It's not hard at all to make millions of credits in the game anymore but on the other hand as grind is still a grind. I devoted a month's worth of weekends back in 2012 to amassing enough credits to buy all of the lockouts over GTN and have been able to play comfortably as preferred access whenever I wanted. Given BioWare's tendency to eventually release all of the expansion content for free anyhow, I have hardly given them a single shekel over the past 5 years.

>Not bothering anyone is the same as being a hobo.
Damn, that seems narrow. I thought the point of grey was a mixing of the two ideas and take what works and what doesn't, or just foregoing ether dogma and using the force as a tool instead of a "belief", or even find a way to "balance" both sides.

That whole video is a hilarious clusterfuck. You can tell that the guy who made managed to even confuse the fuck out of himself, until the end where he realizes that his attempts to portray Kreia as some kind of amazing "shades of grey" character doesn't work because she isn't meant to be one. All of her "you are stupid if you are a bad person and you are stupid if you are a good person" mumbo-jumbo is for naught when you realize that the whole point of the finale on Malachor V is that she's a bitter, old failure of a woman who wants to blame some cosmic force beyond her for her own fuckups and she has been blowing smoke up your ass the entire time with edgy-contrarian-tier philosophizing in order to have you take down everyone she hates.
In other words, Kreia is a Sith on par with Palpatine in that she's a horrible, manipulative person at the core. She obfuscates it behind layers upon layers of bullshit but she's very clearly a Sith because her ultimate intentions are selfish and malicious. In the same way, Jolee Bindo is "gray" but he's really just a Jedi who disagrees with the Order.
To further hammer the point home, observe that Kreia never undertakes any actions that are purely altruistic or "doing the right thing". She's always a manipulative if not outright cruel hag behind the player's back. She's evil. She's a Sith, she just doesn't admit it.

I think she was intentionally written to be full of shit but in such a way that it acts almost as a litmus test for how much the player was paying attention to the story. In fact, it's kind of brilliant in a way because the game never really hides Kreia's true nature from you, it's put right in front of the player throughout, mostly via cutscenes. So when the game basically spells it out for you during the finale where Kreia flat out admits that she just hates the Force because destiny sucks or something, a lot of people either got confused and mad or else they absorbed an entirely wrong message from it (namely that Kreia had a profound point to make rather than being a master bullshitter), because the writing is designed to misdirect you from the obvious.
Granted, Obsidian COULD have intended for Kreia to be taken completely seriously but the writing is a bit too clever for me to believe that.

She doesn't hate herself, she hates her "God" as an uncaring entity who strives only for some form of "balance" regardless of the suffering and deaths of sentient beings all around the galaxy. As lots of people point, all those wars in the end are motived by the schisms of force sensitives groups, mainly the Jedi Order and the sith heresy who sprung for it. The only major. galaxy-wide conflicts who existed without then being the reason were the Pius Dea Crusades and the Vong War.
Her point, that the Force is an "Insidious Force", an amoral, uncaring god is backed by the endless conflicts caused by force sensitives.

Same voice actor.
Pretty sure it was intentional on some level.
His actual Grey Jedi video was worse since his conclusion was that all grey Jedi are stupid nuetral and will do absolutely nothing. Also takes an example of a character falling from light end to dark end, or vice versa, "Kyle and Kreia, Jolee" as failures viva proof by contradiction, even though that would mean all Sith and Jedi are 'failures' too, if even one switches form one side to another. Not to mention that Kyle didn't even really get his "grey Jedi" title until after his Dark Side "fall" where dark side ghosts told him to take over the galaxy, and then Mara Jade shows up, tells him thats dumb, and then they go home. Then paints that #allGreyJedi sit on thier hands and do nothing, apathey is death clip. Which makes this logical fallacy, that if you are to take any action, you immediately would fall under light or dark catagory. Never mind if you have the right or responsiblity to respond to any action. There is no such things as shades of grey. He took the most litteral meaning of True nuetral he could think off.
Then, blah blah, Force Heaven and Force Hell are real in Star Wars anyway, and they don't get pugatory, so you have to be light or dark. Which shits on any argument he was making about comparisons to any other real world idea and religions he was talking about. A 2d or 3d alightment system would shatter his mind I think.

Not agreeing with Kreia doesn't mean we hate her faggot. She's a great character and adversary who isn't just a one-dimensional villain who has her own unique motives and goals which drive her. If we dislike or disagree with her though is not relevant. What is a fact is that she's a GILF with great development.

One other thing about Dark Forces. Consider a CRT filter. dosbox has a great one called CRT.D3D.fx which you can use (just google it) that look like this. I find it really brings out some of the proper colors such as the lights which otherwise look like their a bit dull and lacking contrast.

Not EA. Disney. Someone at Disney seems to have realized they fucked up with the exclusivity deal (5 years into the 10 years and EA has made an unfinished game with less content than the decade old original, and a few casinos for children) and have been trying to salvage it by supporting old Star Wars games for modern OS support/Mac/Linux/Fixed online/steam workshop for easy mods stuff.

I think there's little chance of that since the Apeiron team struck some kind of deal with Disney where to play their game you have to have the original KOTOR installed.
That being said, I am a bit concerned with the way they are radically changing the gameplay. The combat is apparently more of an action-driven shooter now with them mentioning doing something unique for lightsaber/melee combat which I just…don't see a reason for.

Sadly its not canon, and I think its for the best since it would mean all those beloved characters would get their backstories horribly mutilated or end up as "Saturday Morning Cartoon"-tier characters like Thrawn or the few old EU elements that have made it into the nu-EU, which is how they''ll forever be known since its unlikely any normalfags read Zahn's new novels which are the only decent shit to come out of Disney's shitty managing since Tarkin (which normalfags haven't read either). Also according to the new moronic Canon guidelines, this game ain't either canon to "Canon" or "Legends" which is stupid.

Why? "I was just following orders" is a defense used by soldiers all the time, history (especially modern history) is rife with examples of otherwise moral people that became more than willing to commit atrocities because a commanding officer told them to. And these were soldiers that spent three months in basic training and a couple more months in MOS training; the clones weren't just trained from birth to be soldiers, they were conditioned to be far more receptive to orders than their progenitor was. It's perfectly believable.

Yeah. Against people that are worthless to them and mean nothing to the soldiers. Why do you think armies worldwide spend billions researching methods of dehumanizing the enemy in the eyes of the soldiers and building their loyalty to each other? Because it makes them more efficient. History demonstrates repeatedly that people are far more hesitant to kill people dear to them than some fucker half a world away that they never met. This goes twice for soldiers being forced to kill each other, which is what clones killing Jedi would amount to seeing as they spent three years fighting by each other's side and a shit-ton of EU material went in-depth about the friendships forged between the clones and the Jedi, even before 2008 TCW. Why the fuck would a clone immediately obey the order of some high-up politician most of whom never even met to kill their comrades? They wouldn't. Mutiny levels would be over 80% and even if they were, say, 10%, Palpatine has been repeatedly established as someone who wouldn't leave shit like that up to chance.

Elite Squadron was basically the scraps of Free Radical's Battlefront 3 downgraded for PSP. Same characters. Same gameplay concepts.
First Assault was going to be a multiplayer FPS, as a sort of side-project to any battlefront stuff in the works.
1313 looked kind of mediocre, but I was looking forward to a sort of Star Wars:Bounty Hunter/Prey 2 type of thing where you play as Boba.

What i always find amusing is that those planets have no traffic at all, no ships around. The protagonist can always pinpoint the location of the place/city he needs to go, there is no traffic control, landing clearance nothing.
Obi Wan goes straight to a single city in a whole planet, lands without questions asked and goes straight to the capital/government palace.

There is no conflict of interest.

To me the idea, the way Lama Su delivers, is that the clones were made docile by design, genetic tampering. That's why he says that Boba is a pure, unadulterated clone. No genetic tampering, no accelerated growth, nothing. The brain chip goes against the idea of "master geneticists"

TCW must have changed that lore.

tl;dr Kamino officially joined the republic at the start of the Clone Wars, using their importance to the war effort as leverage. Kamino's senator was used to campaign strongly for military spending increases which directly benefited the Kaminoan economy. This only gives Kamino more reason to be angry at the empire when the cloning deal was terminated.

Republic Commando actually just has one game, the rest are tie-in novels featuring the squad from the game as well as a new squad exclusive to the books. They work together with arc troopers and stuff and this whole story arc takes place from the beginning of the clone wars all the way to a few months after order 66 where it cuts off.

Old Republic
>KOTOR I & II
God-tier 10/10 must-play. Features some of the best writing, characterization and philosophical musing in Star Wars.
Rise of the Empire
>Battle for Naboo
Had some fun stuff in it, but falls short compared to the Rogue Squadron games. 6/10
>Episode I Racer
9/10 GOTTA GO FAST
>Jedi Starfighter
This was an interesting concept that sadly didn't get used any further. 7/10
>Bounty Hunter
I remember playing this but don't remember if I actually beat it. I would have liked to see another game in this mold though. Supposedly 1313 was going to be this with Boba instead of Jango. 7/10
>The Clone Wars
Sadly there's no tie-in between this and the CG Clone Wars series. The fighter tank debuted in this game and it was the best part of the game, and this ensured that it was rightfully imported into Battlefront. 7/10
>Republic Commando
One of the best Star Wars games. Its only real flaws are that it's too short and some of the enemies are damage sponges, but these might have been remedied if Imperial Commando had been made. The command system was an incredible innovation that not enough games have used. 9/10
>Episode III
Has interesting features like the multiplayer duel mode, but Jedi Academy is better for this. Still, for a movie game it isn't bad. 7/10

Rebellion Era
>Super Star Wars Trilogy
There's something comfy about the Super Nintendo. Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World, and dozens of other incredible games were on this console. There are some ridiculous parts of these games, many of which diverge from the movies, but it's a fun take on Star Wars. 7/10
>Rebellion
Endlessly replayable. This could have benefited from an expansion pack, but the sheer variety of characters and ships goes a long way. 8/10
>Force Commander (final 3 levels set in New Republic era)
This is often said to be the worst Star Wars game ever. Still, many of its ideas were reworked and used more successfully in Empire at War. It'd be fun to see one of the many Empire at War modders recreate this entire game in the EaW engine. The best part of the game was the soundtrack, which unlike most Star Wars games was an original score instead of just using John Williams' music. The Command Point system is a notable feature that could have been great, but it incentivizes turtling with captured enemy buildings, which combined with the bad pathing and slow firing units makes for lots of boredom. The storyline isn't bad though. 4/10
>Empire at War
The battlefields being 2D instead of 3D really limits this game, but in terms of tactical gameplay this is the best Star Wars strategy game. 8/10
>Rogue Squadron (all games, has one level in NR era)
Much more arcade-style than the X-wing series, but amazingly polished and fun to play. 8/10
>TIE Fighter
This game is both mechanically sound and lets you see a side of the Galactic Civil War which at that time was relatively unexplored. 9/10
>X-Wing Alliance
Unfortunately this is the last game in its series. Space simulators are mostly a dead genre these days. That's a pity, because this game includes the best YT-series freighter, the YT-2000. 9/10
>Shadows of the Empire
A variety pack of Star Wars gameplay, this game features FPS levels and multiple vehicles including a snowspeeder, a swoop and the Outrider. Also has the terrifying boss battles with IG-88 and the gladiator droid. Fear the wrath of the pulse cannon. 7/10
New Republic Era
>All Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games except the original Dark Forces, which is Rebellion era
10/10. The best Star Wars action games by far and arguably the best Star Wars games period.
Cross-Era
>Battlefront I & II (original, of course, fuck EA)
Tons of game modes, heroes and upgrades have made this a perennial favorite for good reason. 9/10

Republic Commando is ok length for an FPS (7-11 hours, based on steam reviews), I think it can just feel short because of how much more of it we wanted. You need a mod to run it on 1920x1080. I think I used this one https://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-republic-commando-graphics-fix
>Any good games to recommend?
Dark Forces 2 and Mysteries of the Sith are some of my favorite FPS games. They trust you to be able to run so fast and jump so high that you can kill yourself by slamming your face into a wall.
X-Wing Alliance is good for the dogfighting stuff, and is pseudo simulation. Graphics can be upgraded with this mod http://xwaupgrade.com/
The Galactic battlegrounds Saga is fucking fun. I know you can get it on GOG and it is an upgraded version of age of Empires 2, but it's star wars. I love the animatics, they're well voice acted and bring me into the game perfectly every time. Everything about it is fun, even though I don't normally like RTS games. It nails the star wars feel.
Empire at War is alright. Not great, and the controls are showing their age, but there are a good chunk of mods (Thrawn's Revenge), and it will provide many hours of gameplay (don't expect a great plot, though).

Xbox exclusives aside, you can emulate pretty much everything with Dolphin now for best possible graphics. Everything else is on PC. Just play whatever you feel like you missed out on and enjoy the nostalgia. (I go through everything that even remotely interests me–even the weaker stuff– if only just for the aesthetics and the plot/eu continuity). Republic Commando is pretty short yeah but the books more than make up for it. The modding scene is pretty weak too unfortunately. If you want a good mod or a must play star wars game, Movie Battles II is the best one around. It's a multiplayer total conversion for jedi academy. I haven't played it in a few years, but it's one of those games that never really dies.

Droid World literally killed one of my playthroughs because it was so fucking boring as other anons have noted. Big empty bland fucking rooms sparsely populated with droids you have to run back and forth to and have no real personality. I couldn't finish it and you can't uninstall it midgame even if you load back to an older save because it screws the whole save game up. I appreciate the thought and I'm sure it took a lot to make but there's some cut content that is cut for a reason and what was left of Droid World were scraps so the mod makers had to fill in the other 90% with completely made up ideas most of them not that great.
>>17651
That whole thing was really fucking weird. The huge noticeably drop in voice acting quality that doesn't fit in with the game at all, the way it just kind of comes out of nowhere, the glitchy dialog that can look back onto itself and the fact that it doesn't really have any sort of conclusion as no matter what you do she just runs off into the ether never to be seen again. I was thinking about installing the submod that just gets rid of her to be honest but it's not that intrusive, just feels like a weird 5 minute fever dream out of nowhere.

Its still a shitty loss though, but I guess he wanted his remake to not fade into obscurity by having it be well known. There's a lot of good mods and fan remakes out there which aren't that well known because nobody talks about them out of fear that they'll get shut down so they fall into obscurity. I guess the author was afraid the same would happen to him, but he should've known better than to trust the Mouse. The same will probably happen to that Darth Vader fan film by Star Wars Theory. He thinks he can trust Disney and even sent them a letter requesting guidelines he should follow to avoid getting shut down. They gave him a replay and an OK as long as funding for the film came from his own wallet, but all that's gonna do is get him fucked sorely in the ass near the end of production by Mickey's rat cock.

Yes, it was. Free Radical went to the press years later when they folded and got bought out. It was titled "Free Radical vs. the monsters", where they talked about publisher problems like EA doing their usual stupidity. My beef with them (despite being a big fan of their games) was the claim that BFIII was 99% done and Lucasarts refused to finish it. An anonymous employee made a rebuttal to the article, claiming they siphoned money from the project to get Haze out the door. I'm more inclined to believe the anon for two reasons. Firstly, we've seen other companies do this, like Gearbox stealing Aliens CM money to finish Borderlands 2. Secondly, the leaked build of BFIII was in the shape anon described the game in rather than the 99% done Free Radical claimed. It could've been an earlier build, but I think that Free Radical did shit other devs have done behind the scenes and Lucasarts was tired of burning through money to make the fucking game. You also have to keep in mind they were brought in after Pandemic, who made BFI and II, was gobbled up by EA alongside Bioware. Development was already a disaster switching studios midway, so the money siphoning was the cherry on top.

I never expected anything to come of this, but I think there's something to be said for drawing attention to older titles. KotOR1 wasn't nearly as good as the sequel, but for the time it was a pretty damn good game. I have no issues if someone wants to remind people that there's good content from the pre-Disney era.

Another thing worth noting is that as a game KotOR II isn't actually that great, even though it has a fantastic story. I mean it's buggy as fuck, half baked in a lot of places, and had a whole chunk cut off (thanks Lucasarts) and left for fans to fix which is not a positive as while they did fix it it's still something they had to cobble together out of what they had rather than a completed and polished work. Meanwhile while KotOR has bugs it's overall a far more complete game. TL;DR they both have their strong and weak points, making them both good (great if you like RPGs) but not perfect games.

KOTOR did a fantastic job capturing the spirit of Star Wars, since they took all the elements from the OT and re-arranged them into something new.
KOTOR 2 did a fantastic job at deconstructing Star Wars and the nature of the universe, giving us a deep, thought-provoking narrative with great characters.
Both games are awesome for different reasons and complement each other.

I don't think you can call a few lines of dialogue here and there a compendium. All we really know is they lived in the Unknown Regions, were scary as fuck, and either coerced or controlled Revan and Malik into waging war against the Republic. Whatever control they had was incomplete enough that Revan made sure to only capture and never destroy strategically important locations, to make sure that the Republic would have a fighting chance against the True Sith in the coming war. Revan then went into the Unknown Regions alone, either to stop the True Sith or to enact some other cog in his keikaku.

Yes, that was my takeaway. Of course the plan adapted after the events of KotOR 1. Admiral Onasi in the Navy, Bastila in the Jedi, and Canderous on Mandalore clearly had their roles to play in Revan's Plan B; they mention that they were given instructions to carry out while he was out in the unknown regions. Unfortunately we didn't get to know much about this plan.

Yes, these are all very compelling backstories.
The only good characters in KotOR 1 were Canderous and the droids. KotOR 1 really only did one thing right consistently, and that was recreating the "Star Wars feel". In terms of writing and character development it was average at best. KotOR 2 blew it out of the water.

Revan and Malik being mind-controlled or somehow coerced into fighting the Republic by the True Sith is actually a piece of TOR lore. It was implied in KotOR2 that Revan found them, or at least found proof that they were still out there in the Unknown Regions, but not that he was waging war on the Republic on their behalf. From what Kreia said his reasons for the war was to strengthen the Republic through conflict in preparation for fighting the True Sith, and if the Republic couldn't stand on its own, then Revan would take it over and use it as his own like >>23036 said.

Who here wants to play SWG? It's free unlike SWTOR and after you get used to it, it's very comfy. Perfect for wintertime. I'm playing on Basilisk, from SWGEmu.
There's a /vg/ guild on an NGE server. The advantages of that is that the NGE server has more items and JTL (space-related stuff), but it's a huge downgrade in terms of choices for character building.
Any interest? I can provide info if required.

There's several servers on which to play, but really there's two major baselines: pre-CU and NGE.
CU = Combat Update
NGE = New Game Engine
CU and NGE changed the game radically, and not for the better. However, post-NGE they also added a lot of items and even new planets (Kashyyyk, Mustafar) which is certainly very nice.
The pre-CU movement is spearheaded by SWGEmu and their two servers Nova (test server only), and Basilisk. They're working on recreating SWG up to the point before the CU. It's a work in progress, but entirely stable, it's just that it doesn't have all the features it wants to have. The biggest feature still missing from it is JTL (Jump to Lightspeed) which allows you to own, build, and fly ships. The Shipwright skill tree is in the game and the space maps are in the game, it's just that you can't assemble spaceships yet and you can't fly your own spaceship yet, you have to use public transport, basically. There are several other servers that use the SWGEmu code as a base. The most noteworthy one is probably Empire in Flames, which is heavily modded to the point where you can play as assassin droids, hutts, and a bunch of other ayys not originally playable in SWG. They've got a much smaller community, and their staff is much more involved, which is not necessarily a good thing, especially if they're faggots. I never tried the server out, so I can't comment more on it.
Then you've got NGE, with the biggest server (and really only choice) being Legends. I tried it out but I just think pre-CU is more comfy. NGE tries too hard to be like a standard mmo. It completely destroyed building up your character in favor of introducing a class-system. It feels very shoddy. The only reason to play it is for all the new house-types, furniture, craftable content and JTL. JTL will eventually show up on SWGEmu, but it might take years before they manage to get it all in. Personally I'd rather play on Basilisk, but as I said there's a /vg/ guild on Legends. If the main attraction is in owning your own ship and flying around grinding space missions, then NGE is the only choice currently.
How to install:
https://www.swgemu.com/forums/content.php?r=179-Install-SWGEmu This guide basically explains it all in detail. You don't need a legitimate copy of SWG disks. You can simply pirate it and it'll work perfect. Here is the info hash if you need it: BAB5AC3A391D6D102AE08A19CA2F12B7C1BD55B8
In short, once you have the original SWG copy it's pretty simple, you just have to get the installer from whatever server you want to play on and let it merge together.
Getting to know the game can take some time, it's easier just to explain things in-game. I only tried NGE for about a week so I'm not as knowledgeable there. A big word of warning, though, is that the game requires grinding. Whether you decide to become a doctor, a field medic, an entertainer, someone who does combat, or someone who crafts… Everything takes time and it's a slow progression. That's why the social component is important, because you usually need someone to talk to while you're grinding. Or you can just have a movie or something playing in the background as you grind.

Let me know if there's any problems. Installing the swgemu client/launchpad will make the Nova and Basilisk servers available, Legends has their own client/launchpad, but the process is basically the same for both. I'll assume you both will try out Basilisk first, though. That's the pre-CU server and probably the one with the highest population among any SWG servers. You'll need to register an account on that swgemu website. The username+password you register with will basically be your login credentials for the game. Once you do that and you can log in, do the game tutorial after character creation. It's not necessary but it's useful to get a feel for how things work. My suggestion is to open the settings tab (default key ".") then go to "Controls", click on the "Keymap" button on the lower right corner, and then where it says "Load a standard keymap:" change that to "First Person Shooter". Doing so will make the controls be much more intuitive, and you can play around with changing individual controls however you want them, as well. Once you're in-game you can send a message to Golacheb if you want and I can answer any questions about the game you may have. To access the messaging system press "E". You can also send private tells over chat, but that only works if the one you're sending a chat message to is online.

Pre-CU (SWGEmu) has Dantooine, Tatooine, Corellia, Naboo, Talus, Lok, Rori, Endor, Yavin 4, and Dathomir.
NGE (Legends) has all of those and Kashyyyk, Mustafar.
There's a difference to how they're approached, though. In pre-CU, there's no levels. Dathomir has more dangerous creatures than on any other planet, but you can still go visit other planets at your leisure. NGE is level-based and combat-focused, so going to Kashyyyk for example is a matter of leveling from level 40 to 50, or something of that nature.

There was once a Coruscant attempt but it never got anywhere. It's not feasible. These planets are huge, and entirely open world with no loading screens. But when I say that they are huge, I really mean it, though most of it is vegetation. They were designed so that players could place down their houses and start cities together, and you can only place houses down outside of NPC cities/outposts/points of interest. So there's a lot of fields, valleys, and so on with just bushes and fauna. There are some planets where you can't place down houses, for example Dathomir, and you can tell right away why you can't once you see it. What worlds would you want to add, anyway? SWG being small spacial wise is one thing I've never heard anyone say. You could ride around a single planet for hours just to see all the points of interest for that planet, although I would argue that the driving speed with a speeder/swoop should really be much higher, maybe twice as fast as it currently is.

I think Sullustans are supposed to be natural navigators, so maybe something where one is actually terrible at that.

A bunch of those seem like alternative working titles for the same concept. Seems like they were planning something where you play as regular Rebel soliders (I heard this was the plan for a Republic Commando followup), something dealing with the criminal underworld (1313, or separate game?), and a game where you play as an undecided Sith, or edgelord Jedi character.

Jedi Outlaw and Jedi Hunter sound like they'd have the most potential as a game. I imagine it'd work pretty well as a pair of games wherein you play as a Jedi between episodes 3 and 4like that game EA announced, except with a less retarded title or as some sort of AWOL Jedi, and a game where you hunt the last of the Jedi to extinction as a bounty hunter or imperial/sith agent. There's no need to set either during the movies eras, since you could conceivably make it work in everything from the Legacy Era to the Pious Dea Crusades.

It's not happening, but if it were they would fuck it up massively because EA Bioware is far from the quality Bioware was when they made KotOR. Not to mention Bioware are pozzed as fuck (feel free to check out Mass Effect Andromeda if you want a preview of what a KotOR III would look like in current year). Add to that the extra layer of control Disney is likely to have and you have a recipe for absolute disaster that only possibly the social justice crowd will cheer.
I can't stress this piece of advice enough: The past is dead, and the people that killed it are now selling you back the corpse piece at a time. Don't pay them. Honestly if you really love KotOR make some friends and play the Tabletop Star Wars Saga Edition. It's basically KotOR but infinite and in every era, all you need is a good GM and if you can't find one become one.

>third underworld faction
That's what I've been saying as well. If you wanted to round it out to 3 or 4 per faction, add an assassin-for-hire class and rework the Bounty Hunter as they pretty much end up as the "assassin for hire" for the Empire, going against a lot of what I felt they were pushing you towards which is an honorable (or not so honorable) Mando. if there was a fourth, perhaps something like a force adept/dark jedi class that goes with the flow, or credits if that's your thing, mostly to balance out the lack of force users for an underworld faction. Doing this would add a couple classes that I would have loved to see for both the Republic and the Empire:
>Empire
<Imperial Shock Trooper/Commando
<lead a small strike team meant to sink fear in the enemies of the Empire and win battles that would otherwise have been total defeats. Can go toe-to-toe against Jedi Knights and come out unscathed due to highly disciplined training and advanced armaments.
<counterparts are Republic Trooper and Bounty Hunter
<template based off of Pierce
>Republic
<SIS operative
<become a member of the Republic's most secretive and shadowy arms, the SIS. You would lead a team of misfits under the guise of a simple shipping crew on contract for any number of corporations. Sabotage Empire efforts and collect critical detail on their doings.
<counterparts are Imperial Agent and Smuggler
<template is Jonas Balkar/Theron Shan
Easy peasy titties are squeazy. I could probably write up a rough draft better than Bioware could implement as a final product for these classes, though.

Same. I admit the Smuggler feels more liberated than the Bounty Hunter in terms of choices, but you really can't do anything that defies the Republic's needs, at best only with some regret. The Bounty Hunter feels like an imperial lapdog or an assassin more than half the time rather than a bounty hunter. Might as well call it an assassin or merc. And the loyalty to Mandalore thing should be more optional. Honestly the smuggler and bounty hunter classes had the most potential for wider story and choices. They should've had their own starting worlds or have Nal Hutta exclusive to them. And instead of having them receive their missions right next to the fucking jedi/sith, have their HQ be elsewhere or get info from their ship. There might've even been room for a third neutral/rogue class like hunter or that secretive faction you encounter in the Imperial Agent storyline. Heck there was potential for a lot of shit.

What's funny is that the class most acclimated to assassinating, the agent, barely had any assassinating to do. Half of your targets were willing to turn themselves in at the drop of a hat or easily duped into working for the Empire. The bounty hunter, a brutish thug who carries around a backpack full of missiles and is decked out with 20 different flamethrowers does more assassination work than the Empire's finest.

Easy to learn from someone who knows how to play, harder if you want to learn from the book but for Star Wars Saga Edition it's really not to bad of a learning curve. The basic rules are roll a D20 and add a Skill/Base Attack bonus and Ability to see if you succeed.

Take Star Wars Galaxies and glue it together with Star Trek Online and set it during the New Sith Wars. You're the captain of a spaceship and you have a crew of customizable NPCs that accompany you in the field as a squad, man your ship or are dispatched across the galaxy doing tasks or overseeing your properties. The galaxy would be given some broad pvp conflicts between players and guilds aligned with the Republic, the New Sith Empire or third party factions like the Hutts or Mandalorians or whatever.

If they had actually shown gameplay that was decent, I would say your excitement was justifiable, but it was just fucking cinematics man. You're falling for false hype. At least wait till these sneaky fuckers actually show real gameplay footage. Also from all news articles covering this, this game sounds like a remake of Force Unleashed and will even explain how the Rebellion was founded, which doesn't make a lot of sense since Disney already introduced 2 fucking Rebellion foundings already with that Saw G. shit and the Rebels cartoon.

Don't you go shitting on Titanfall 2 faggot. That is a fantastic game with one of the best SP campaigns we've gotten in years in an FPS. The playercount might be on the low side, but that was largely due to an absurdly poor choice of release time.
That said, I don't have much hope for the new game.

Does everything speak different English than I? I said sorta excited, that doesn’t mean I’m hyped, I’m well aware it’s an EA game and what that entails, and we have seen 0 game, the concept seems like a Last of The Jedi thing which could be cool though overdone.
>this game sounds like a remake of Force Unleashed
Oh, I figured it was a sort of continuation of the dark forces/Jedi Knight series from the title. Force unleashed was mostly trash and midless power fantasy fun at best. It would be cool to be forced to use a blaster and force powers for most of the game because lightsabers were far from common, though that’s not iconic enough so you’ll probably immediately get your lightsaber despite the commercial being all about blending in.
But what’s with the rebel shit? I know Yidsney thinks the empire is literally Hitler but why are they so obsessed with the formation and beggings of the alliance? Two cartoons and now a game? The Last of The Jedi books were quite good (though I think they’re supposed to be kids books) and that’s pretty much the only EU material that I can think of on the subject of forming the rebellion.

On consoles this would be true, but for PC it isn't. High-level play involves b-hopping and hitting the target at high speed. Not as hard to land a hit as in Tribes, but there's also more cover.
And the SP levels have awesome gimmicks. Who doesn't love time travel mechanics with a robot buddy?
It's worth noting that Respawn was only partnered with EA on TiFa2, not working under them like they are now. That distinction is why their new games will probably be total shitfests (haven't touched Apex Legends because I'm not gay).

No, it's because the precision at high speed can't be achieved with a console controller, forcing that playerbase to avoid the more strenuous maneuvers. This restriction doesn't exist on the PC due to mouse precision. Same reasons you couldn't play Quake at a high level with an xbox controller.

I haven't played the first one so I can't speak for it, but 2 does have a high skill ceiling, especially when contrasted with any other FPS in the last while.

During a discussion/interview of the game, they said the game would show the fall of the jedi, how they survived and the founding of the rebellion and whatnot. So something tells me what's his face is going to be the new Starkiller who ends up starting the Rebel Alliance and uniting the factions.

But what’s the obsession with the founding of the rebellion? In the few years Disney has owned Star Wars they’ve already put out two cartoons and now a game about the founding. Before there was just books and the force unleashed which I don’t think was even canon.

I think it's a direct response to part of why the Empire is so popular - It Makes Sense. The rebellion? Makes no sense aside from personal glory and political terrorism. So I think part of it is in trying to make people care about the scum and honestly I think that's also the problem because every single thing they do to flesh them out further just detracts from the one single vaguely redeeming factor of their underdog status.

Can you imagine if they actually did go that route? The drama would be hilarious. But the most likely scenario is that they just picked the ugliest she-boon to play the part or they're going to set her up as his illegitimate daughter or long lost sister.

Because #RESISTDRUMPF is all the rage now so you have to pump up anybody that #PUNCHNAZIS. It's gay ANTIFA establishment dicksucking. I'm honestly more interested in the idea of the Rebellion being a failed honeypot set up by the Emperor. It lines up with his very manipulative and scheming personality and the failure falls in line with Vader's rash temperament and hubris.
