Since you've all managed to totally derail my thread, I'll chime in with my thoughts.

 

KOTOR1 is the best star wars game ever. Followed by Rogue Squadron 64, then KOTOR2. All other Star Wars games suck.

 

Dunno about ranking them in any order, and you may not even be aware of it as it was released when you were a toddler, but The Empire Strikes Back on SNES was an absolute hoot. Really tough too, in the days before online tips.

 

As for your comments about Bioware's recent junk, I've never played any DA games as I'm acutely allergic to anything that could be described as Tolkien-esque, but I genuinely do think you're a bit harsh on ME3. I finished another run last night, probably my 13th full go, and I have very few issues with any of the writing apart from the 'final ascent' in the Catalyst, which is, was, and always will be one of the most bizarre wtf scenes in gaming. But I like most of the rest of it, and while it's nowhere near as good as its immediate predecessor, it's still better than the majority of games I've played. It also deserves credit for not having ME2-style planet-mining, which is the only thing that ever puts me off playing ME2, and it's probably worth noting that I chucked Mark Meer out the airlock as soon as I heard Jennifer Hale's voice, and can't even imagine doing a second playthrough as a male Shep. This means I'll never romance Miranda, but she's Australian anyway. Been there, done that!

Are you kidding me the concept of gamebook sounds incredibly great ! I remember reading adventure books for kids when I was a child, you know the one where you make a choice and it tells you to got to a specific page and so on, I really loved that.

 

That's exactly what a gamebook is And it's good that there are still people who enjoy them. I love them, but I guess most kids who are a bit younger than me don't connect to them much.

 

Anyway, if you like them, and you like fantasy, you should definitely check out Lone Wolf. It's, simply put, the best gamebook series ever written. It's not even my opinion, it's a matter of fact. I'm pretty sure it sold more by itself than all the other gamebook series combined.

I had the gameboy version of Empire Strikes Back, I don't remember much beyond owning it, most of my childhood I've struggled to forget. I do agree that the mining was the worst part of ME2, but I happily deal with that, especially since after finishing it, you start with 50k of all, which is enough for all your eezo needs atleast. Was there a manshep version in ME2? I don't remember ever doing that....

 

I like DA2, but I don't like DA:O, so I am in a minority for DA as well as ME.

 

 

As to those game book things, they DO sound a lot like the choose your own adventure books we had when I was growing up, I had collected most of them and passed them onto my brothers, who knows what happened after that, I left home at 13.

DA:O was good for its time.  These days?  I don't really think I could make it though it.....I couldn't give DA2 a seal of approval.  I cringe every time I think about Anders constantly whining my god....at least you got to give him what he had coming to him.

 

That said.  DA2 Arishok is the greatest character in anything ever.

 

 

[Arkhne]

^I am out of likes, but you would have one if I still had them right now. Arishok was pretty cool, and yes, Anders whined a lot, but that is easily solved, play a mage, ignore Anders. Only reason to have Anders is if you need a healer, which if you are one yourself, or have a good enough team, it is not needed. DW Assassin Hawke with Aveline Tank and Merril nuker is usually good enough to skip Anders' healing, just need to do your tactics correctly. Or, any freaking team on non-Nightmare, especially one including Fenris and either an Assassin or Mage.

DA2 was not difficulty, just... repetitive.

I used to have the entire Lone Wolf series!  And even the Grey Star spinoff and Freeway Warrior... then when I moved out when I turned 18 my father burned all my books.

Sounds like your family is as awesome as mine. Mine is so awesome, I moved as physically far away as is possible on this tiny planet.

 I really like the single player campaigns from the 1st 2 games. They were really fun. You should give them a try.  Only reason I never picked up the new one is no sp campaign. I am not a big PvP fan.

I'm pretty much the opposite, I thought the campaigns in the first two were basically glorified playlists, and the bots were so stupid that playing against them for more than 10 minutes was boring in how easy it was. The online multiplayer could be fun at times, but was wracked by netcode issues, a huge number of bugs/exploits, lousy servers that could barely host half of the advertised 12v12 (PS2), and horrendous balance problems, (particularly explosive spam and grossly overpowered heroes/vehicles) to the point where I would rather have just played Battlefield 2 (the game which they were pretty much shameless clones of) most of the time. I don't get why despite these issues they are now held up as being classics (except nostalgia goggles) and I prefer the new one.

Admittedly they are different types of games, or rather their strengths are in different areas. The originals were more like SW sandbox games where the fairly basic gameplay was secondary to all the cool stuff you could do with a SW backdrop. The new one is a PvP focused shooter designed to emulate the sights, sounds and atmosphere of the OT movies as closely as it can. Oh, and emotes, glorious glorious emotes.

 

Also, look at all of you silly indoctrinated bucketheads! You're just envious that we're the good guys and we always get to win.



until thrawn comes around. Then I'll join the Empire myself!

you forget that the best movie in the OT is the one where the Empire basically just wins the whole way through, squashing the Scum on Hoth before cutting off the whiny hero's hand and encasing the best hero in "carbonite" (lol SW science).


and the worst one (despite the initial appearance of iconic character HueHue Nunb) is that in which the Rebels nonsensically win via children's marketing material creatures that wouldn't be equaled in terribruness for nearly 20 years until Jar Jar.

That really stinks. I'm sorry
 

But a fellow Lone Wolf fan! No wonder we go along well

 

Look at the bright side anyway: you can have them all again for free, although in digital form. Not the same thing, I know, but better than nothing

And I loved Grey Star and Freeway Warrior too. I have a couple of them but not all.

 

I do own all of Lone Wolf though, included the new, shiny 29   It's pretty incredible that the series' still going on over 30 years after it started, isn't it?! I mean look at the world now... Virtual reality, smartphones, touch screens... These are what make up kids' life nowadays. Gamebooks are a remnant of a distant past when kids used to still use pen and paper... Young kids don't even know what they are anymore. And yet... After more than 30 years, there's still enough interest and love about Lone Wolf for some publisher to agree to let Joe write the last 4 books. I was blown away when I heard it was going to happen

It was fun...but really damn tough too. Those 1st 3 levels... man.   Wish we had you tube back then.  I remember those video game magazines that had tips and those were pretty vague.

[Salarian Master Race]

Where does this one rank?

 

[The_Nightman_Cometh]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  HAHAHAHAHA  I had that game.... screw those walkers man.....they were so OP.

I remember when I made a maze game in my IT lessons in year 9... It involved a little person with a pistol trying to shoot some purple demons in a maze...

 

But the bullets were yellow, and the rate of fire was insane so it looked like a yellow stream. Didn't realise it at the time, but it looks like the little person is having a ****** all over the demons.

I had no idea there were that many of them now!  I'm gonna plow through 1-12 over the next few nights and then I'll be adventuring through unchartered territory!

And I still haven't forgotten you locking me in the reactor on my first ever PC match

[The_Nightman_Cometh]

I am not even going to lie..... this game is / was fun as hell     

 

It was seriously fun. You got to level up both anakin and obi wan...through out the game..you could switch between both of them...you could play the entire game as 1 of them..or split up the game between both of them...It was really fun....amazing level design..as well as the combat was almost perfectly structured towards using both force powers as well as light-saber gameplay.

This allows today's kids to enjoy old pleasures in new forms... and comes in handy for older folks who prefer to play on the go It's based on Project Aon's material, it has received their blessing, and it integrates their house rules when it comes to originally unclear mechanics. It includes the first 14 books right now, but the update schedule is kind of slow. I recommend giving it at least a try!

I failed my programming class in school.... because I actually knew how to program, not the sloppy stuff they were teaching. Failed on the technicality of using subroutines instead of one long list of commands, way to teach people wrong.

Not gunna lie, I bought it on the PSN for the PS3, only played like one level though, then said fkit, GREVIOUS EVERYBODY OVER LAVA! FEAR MY FOUR LIGHTSABERS OF WRATH!

[Onewomanarmy]

^ Lol its the same here. I bought it for Xbox but only played a few minutes and then I put it on my shelf and never played it again

I 100% finished it on PS2, Nightman is right, it is a good game overall. It's just Grevious and Dooku (And Yoda for the all of one level you get it) are so freaking awesome that they overshadow the SP.

Ahhhh I see. I couldn't get myself to finish it at the time. When I saw that it was purely fighting and nothing else I got very disappointed. I usually need some story combined with the fighting.

There is story. However, I'll sum it all up for you.
