I really don't want to go through another puzzle like the one on zeffo then backtracking all the way to the ship

I am able to buy the usa endor dlc for sw tfu 2 and I am wondering if I can use it on my non usa copy of the game?

Debating of getting Star Wars Racer, Or the original xbox games like The clone wars or Knight of the old republic

I recently got Star Wars the force unleashed 2 (ps3) and im not sure how to get/buy the dlc for the game?

I've seen news that they've canceled it before launch, so is it true or just a hoax? I wanted to see the 3rd part focused on other stuff and not recreating battlefront 3 in fortnite

I downloaded it earlier today and my Xbox is acting weird with it.

• No game art background displays when I highlight it on the dashboard

• I can’t find the official club from within the game card. I just get a message which says ‘That did not work. Sorry, give it another try’

• The name of the game is missing from the title of any clips that I take

I’m not sure if this is a problem at my end, something linked to a wider issue, or just the way it is for some old titles like this. Battlefront 1 (2004) works fine.

Let's sum up all of the controversies related to Star Wars games released in the last decade:

Battlefront II: Lots of bugs on release, loot boxes, ending support for the game when it was finally back on its knees.

Jedi Fallen Order: The whole Denuvo thing

Aspyr's KOTOR II: DLC Cancellation

Jedi Survivor: Optimization problems at launch so bad EA had to post a statement and an apologization on these.

Battlefront Classic Collection: Too expensive for it being a re-release of two old games which cost 10$ each, server issues at launch, hit detection issues, other miscellanous bugs and missing stuff, accusations of fan mods being stolen

And now...

Star Wars Outlaws: Huge price tags on the special editions of the game set only to encourage people to buy the Ubisoft subscription, probably in hopes that they'll forget to cancel it after a month

I'm so mad because literally no one is able to release a fully-working Star Wars game without messing it up in some other way. I just don't understand what's the point of microtransactions and absurd pricing for a STAR WARS game where people will buy it just because they like Star Wars and there are more SW fans on the world than R6 or Battlefield fans for example. But ig they're well aware of it and making such practises in order to earn more money than an usual game of theirs would.

I know nothing about game development but is it really that hard to release a game without much (or any) game-breaking bugs? Cause I understand that some bugs can fall under the radar of playtesters but with some of them you can be like "How exactly did they manage to miss out on this during the playtests?" when a bug isn't that hidden or is really common. Because again, there were tons of bugs when BF2 released, and you could encounter them almost everywhere and on BFCC stuff like missing cutscenes at the end of the missions or some visual bugs on Hoth were really prominent.

And yes, not all of the controversies led to demise of these games, but whenever you mess a game up, you gotta deal with some players giving up on playing/buying the game. Despite that, both Jedi games were really successful and BF2 somehow got resurrected and after nearly 4 years since EA cut support for it, the servers are still holding up. I'm just becoming tired of all of this and want to hear more good news than bad ones.

Somebody please, just please make Star Wars gaming great again.

This post provoked me.

Esp OP.

Yesterday I was a a Bioaware forum and there was an argument of Star Wars VS Mass Effect. Some of the Mass Effect fans stated not only is gaming the BEST medium for storytelling and blows away film storytelling for miles away. some went as far as saying the KOTOR games have surpassed the movies.

I notice in the video game camp so many people seem to think the Knights of the Old Republic game series is superior to the Star Wars hexology including the original trilogy. Unless they were Star Wars fans prior to playing some of the games, most gamers I met who loved Knights of the Old Republic often find the movies boring or at best cliched but outdated.

I admit I once fell into the same camp too and felt the Star Wars movies as a whole are outdated and by today's standards run-of-the-mill Sci Fi stories but I loved the KOTOR games as hell and thought they were among the BEST STORIES ever published in all mediums. This was for years until I recently rewatched the original trilogy just before Christmas and I fell back in love with the movies.

The reasoning many KOTOR fans believe its superior to the movies is because of the amount of shocking twists (I still admit I am dubgounded by who Revan is by the end of KOTOR and the complex shades of grey plot of KOTOR 2) are superior tot he movie and the story felt less cliched.

I know its not even an appropriate comparison because of the differences of the nature of storytelling across the mediums but I thought this would make a good thread. Even without the superb plot, KOTOR manages to excel as video games which just makes the comparison muddier.

But I am curious KOTOR fans who are gamers what do you think? From specifically gaming forums you've been to have you noticed the same proportion of non-SW fan gamers prefering KOTOR over the movies?

In fact while you are at it, don't stop at OP which is quoted above, go ahead skim through the whole thread because its thought-provoking!

However years ago I saw the same exact post on a gaming forum I was lurking at. I think it was HowLongToBeat's message boards. I think OP asked for it and his other posts to be deleted so sadly I don't think I'll be able to find it. But one of the responses said hat he's seen the basic premise of the first game executed in another game before far better. And not just that but this specific poster thinks video games in general have bad writing when you pit them against other medium such as Pen and Paper RPGs, cinema, novels, comics, anime and other animation, etc. IN the end he ultimately calls it laughable to say KOTOR is superior to the OT, even against the PT at the time (discussion took place before the ST was released), its very terrible a 1 star level writing. More importantly stick it to mediums with lesser writings such as tabletop RPGs, KOTOR would be very clunky writing even for the standards for fanmade campaigns in DND. That its only in video games where KOTOR truly excelled but even then like mentioned earlier he knows of one RPG that did the same premise but better and there are other games even at KOTOR's release that were already superior.

I replayed KOTOR recently and so before I write a review or make a video or something, I'm curious what people think. All I'll reveal is that I definitely enjoyed the story but over the years..........

Well you can't go to a video game forums like IGN, Gamefaq, and GameSpot see KOTOR and The Old Republic without them being praised to heavens like some of the best stories ever written period. I certainly seen a lot of sentiment praising them for being superior to the movies from these message boards and the general core gaming subculture who aren't Star Wars fans or just casual at best who haven't seen the movies in a while.

Lets just say as I explored other stuff such as radio dramas, KOTOR and TOR no longer ranks as high in my opinion. But I STILL LOVE THE GAMES. As I said that's all I'll say and I'm curious what the consensus from Star Wars fans are before I share more details of my opinion because I think my current view is super biased.

I’m on the Felucia level, after Raxas Prime. In the area you fight the two Rancors there is a blue wall. But what’s it for and how do you get past it?

I’ve been searching all morning and can only find one mention of it on the ps2 game board on GameFAQS :( and it didn’t help

I know none of us know the answer but why is there not a single new Star Wars game being made where we can create our own characters. I’m not including Kotor cause Revan is basically his own character at this point but like a full blown 3rd person action rpg where you can just live and explore Star Wars. Swtor doesn’t do it for me because there isn’t enough detail and the game is 13 years old.

Do people still play Squadrons? And if they do would the servers be too competitive for a newcomer?

So I have the 60FPS mod installed, and am using the AMD control panel to add vsync, however when I do that, the cut scenes go choppy. Is there anyway around this other than flicking it off and on? Also, any options to increase UI for 4k. Subtitles are tiny

Guess why, just take a guest.....😭💀
