DarthTofu Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 I also purchased Jedi Knights II: Jedi Academy, but I'm not too sure about that one... Anyone else played it? Can anyone give me any feedback on it? I've only ever played Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, but the main complaints that I've heard about Academy lie in the way that it's a slightly revamped version of Outcast. Same game engine, same graphics, similar plot, very slight improvements. It's supposed to be slightly more fun than Outcast, though, so go for it. Reportedly it killed the Jedi Knight series, though. 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I was disappointed by Academy. The plot is rather mediocre:Jedi turns bad and you must go and kill her. The game is basically the same as Outcast except they added things that modders had already added in Outcast. I also missed the begining moments of Outcast where you HAVE to use something else than your lightsaber. It got to a point in Academy where I got myself wondering why they added the blasters in the first place since the only weapon you really use is the Lightsaber. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hm, I always just used the blasters back in the days when I was playing Jedi Knight 2. Because I sucked with the light-saber. Who cares at all?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krytos Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I rather liked Academy, and the idea behind it compared to Outcast. I think it could have been better, it felt a bit simple, but the ability to choose your own mission, weapons, lightsaber, lightsaber styles and force powers was rather cool. All it really needed was the ability to create random missions so when you replay it there's more to do. Also, the two different endings was nice. It just felt less linear http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://img152.imageshack.us/img152/1333/3dartistbanneranimationws1.gifhttp://img154.imageshack.us/img154/4026/rebellionbannerdi2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthTofu Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 I just picked up a used copy of Call of Duty 3 for the PS2. Yes, I know it came out a year ago and that Call of Duty 4 is out now. But I'm cheap, it was ten bucks worth of store credit, and I generally like older games. I'll play it tomorrow. Right now... right now it's almost three AM. Let's here it for talking via E-mail for three hours straight starting at midnight!

SWR Staff - Executive Evaders99 Posted June 6, 2008 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted June 6, 2008 Academy added that freedom of designing your own Jedi character. No longer were you just Kyle Katarn.Unfortunately, it did away with much the storytelling that Outcast had. Rather you had small Jedi missions in between the small amount of story missions.

DarthTofu Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 Call of Duty 3 is an awesome game. I'm really enjoying it, but that might be just because I haven't played very much by way of next gen game consoles/the most recent game I played before that on the PS2 was either Matrix: Path of Neo or Battlefront II. God, I've been trying to say that all freaking day. Stupid Internet refused to let me do it, though... 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I recently picked up a game called Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened. It was brilliant! I really enjoyed playing it. It made me think a bit of Shadowgate 64 or these old Adventure games. You have to find clues and stuff to advance in the story and the story. I won't reveal too much but suffice to say that it is based on the Cthulu mythos. Its a brilliant game and well worth a try. I think you can get it for around 20$ on the publisher's website. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWR Staff - Executive Evaders99 Posted June 14, 2008 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted June 14, 2008 Speaking of adventure games, I played Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. A sequel to The Longest Journey, its a mix of fantasy world and future-technology. It was a great storyline.. if you like games with good storytelling. Of course it doesn't mean its has the best puzzles or combat, but is a mix of light involvement between the storytelling scenes.I just hate it ends on a cliffhanger .. but at least there will be more sequels.

Mad78 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I remember hearing about that game.

Defender_16 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I finally broke down and bought the Orange Box a few days ago. $39 for that many games? Why the heck not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rob Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 My friend has the Orange Box. I would definitely had snagged it a long time ago, if only I had a decent PC, PS3, or X-Box 360... But the quantity and quality of games that come with it is far worth the price. Team Fortress 2 is probably worth the $40 on its own. Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side!

Krytos Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Definetely. Not a bad game in the bunch, all the HL2 games were fun - with Ep 1 probably being the least fun of the 3 (which isn't saying much considering how fun the other two are). Portal is great, if not too short (my opinion was it could've been a bit longer, but it's not dragged out at all which is a nice turn of events). TF2 is fun, but it's different to TF1 noticeably and can be a bit of a learning curve if you're use to TF1 or other class based modern online games. http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://img152.imageshack.us/img152/1333/3dartistbanneranimationws1.gifhttp://img154.imageshack.us/img154/4026/rebellionbannerdi2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinister Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I recently puchased and finished Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. And let me just say that it not only wraps up the series, but it is also well worth the money. http://www.geocities.com/xenogears23/Jokersinsigmgs.jpg "Life is hard.
