>Doesn't even know that Empire at War is a shitty remake of a much better and older SW game.

Would be good for this weekend after the 1942 shitshow

>>16427970

Fuck yes dude, I've been playing this again and have even played a few multiplayer games recently. Seems like they fixed the unstable connections.

>That list

>SWTOR bad

What is wrong with it? Know alot of people who played it back in the day and I know a decent amount of anons have played it in >>>/sw/ and likes it. Thought about trying it myself since I hear some classes have fun gameplay/story.

>>16427970

Also, what is wrong with the current multiplayer over the old version? Did they fuck it up or restrict things? I know the netcode was garbage when Disney patched it but it's better now.

>Empire at war is a shitty remake of previous game

The chart already mentioned galactic battlegrounds. Unless you're referring to something else?

Can you host dedicated servers with this?

>>16428064

The short of it is that as a MMO it sucks donkey balls and Bioware had god fucking awful moderation staff, for example banning people for PVPing in a PVP zone. It's apparently okay as a pretend single player game since it went F2P but fucking that. Give me the real deal any day.

>what's wrong with SWTOR

-truly godawful writing in all but two, maybe three of the storylines.

-legendarily terrible animations, and this is coming from someone who really doesn't give a shit about animation quality in games but holy moly this breaks new ground in the "an attempt was made" category of shit animation.

-WoW hotbar combat that adds absolutely nothing new to the formula except for tanking as a melee Jedi/Sith, in which case you're actually jumping around, force choking people and throwing dudes around.

-space combat that is hilariously, tremendously terrible and they shouldn't have even bothered (it's a less-fun, less-involved and completely irrelevant starfox clone.

-a community that is so bad it beggars belief.

-a community management team that is so bad it beggars belief.

-a smuggler story that is so unbelievably, unbearably terrible that you will ask God how someone as incompetent as Hamburger Helper was allowed to immortalize her failure in the Star Wars IP.

all that said though, Imperial Agent is a 10/10 Space James Bond storyline with only two really big glaring classic Bioware fartsniff moments, some of the companions are pretty cute you can put them in slave outfits, the housing system is comfy if you're autistic and since the game is pretty much completely abandoned except for gold sellers and whales the planets that should feel empty and lonely (Tatooine, Hoth) feel empty and lonely. now that it's f2p you really should try it out if just for the Agent storyline

Anyone else think KotOR 2 is better than 1 in every way except for 1 having a more cohesive and finished story and joining the academy being top tier comfy? I also much prefer the story themes of 2.

>>16428431

Anyone got the "Quality. Bioware. Animation." .gif? I lost that one in a HD failure a few years back.

Why isn't the original first battlefront never sold again?

>>16428878

It depends what you're looking for.

1 is a much more straightforward heroic story, which is appropriate for the franchise. 2 is much rougher, not only in the sense of being unfinished, but in terms of the nature of your quest and motivations. You don't end 2 with a big Triumph like you do 1, either getting a medal for saving the galaxy or taking your place as its ruler.

>>16428881

the old tor 12:something animation with the cutscene where a droid gets drugged or sth?

haven't seen that one in ages and can't find it right now either…

you can literally play online instantly in the GoG version of Battlefront 2.

>>16428898

I think Battlefront 1 was just unlucky, on the surface 1 and 2 seem like the same game only 2 has more content, out of both games Battlefront 2 would clearly be the more popular one, so it was put up for digital sale, and 1 was just forgotten until now.

>>16429236

I miss going prone in shooters.

>>16428898

There's no real reason to play it these days. Everything unique to Battlefront 1 can modded into 2 with little trouble.

>>16429280

Except prone, I checked the convo pack a while ago and some converted maps have terrain bugs.

>>16429280

BF2 doesn't have prone or 3 faction maps even with mods.

The EA license expires in 10 years

Wonder if both companies will renew the exclusitivy kikery.

the answer is yes even though EA lost more money than gained with the NuFront gamrs and even shot themselves in the foot by making lootboxes an mainstream issue ij tons of countries

>>16429960

>In 10 years

In 2023 after 10 years of exclusivity

>>16429280

Battlefront II doesn't have explosion knockdowns. I remember Bespin and Kamino being both fun and infuriating as fuck because grenades could blow dozens of units off the edge at once in the original. Battlefront II only has Force Push for knockdown effects.

>>16430431

Mods can solve that, long ago I wanted to make a big rework on the factions and weapons but people weren't interested in testing whatever I made, it was the same on the usual forums so I abandoned the project

>>16430431

>>16429141

I second this.

>>16433267

If only there was someone willing to host a gamenight for it.

>>16433288

>bf2 space battles were arguably better

except for the part where everyone is too busy dogfighting to noitce that faggot in the life support systems room or the shield generator room blasting away

>>16433288

BF1 is clunky as fuck though. The gunplay is ass.

>>16433267

Speaking of classes, if you could take out heroes from matches (in BF2) and thus have all slots dedicated to classes, what kinf of units you would like to see in every faction? 2 main weapons, 2 sub-weapons, I ask because coding a faction mod is quite easy.

>>16433303

its been many years since ive played but i think the gunplay was identical to 2

>>16433300

i agree dubsman, but id rather have the option to board an enemy capital ship then no option at all.

also you have to go through the enemies main spawn room and go into an adjacent room to do any damage, if someone manages to get in there then they deserve to die.

I'm playing it right now and Jesus fucking Christ is it difficult. I have no idea how I passed some of these missions when I was only 5. Those Naboo Royal Guard fuckers are devious and completely destroyed me 4 times in a row.

>>16433512

Try the final mission on elite, AI will ignore you and go for the beacon at the end all the time.
