No, they would first give a yell of praise, then do that.


Well, at least there'd be an entertaining show either way.


Thats what's killing Star Wars, it's Lucas.Bioware was able to make a fantastic story, the writers for the books can write good tales, hell even Lucasarts did a good story in Unleashed, but Lucas can't even make a good movie >_<

I guess you people just totally shut your brains off when you were watching and forgot that Anakin became Darth Vader solely because he was a whiny b*tch.

You do know what STORY is right? You do understand that special effects, explosions and actions sequences are utterly shallow and meaningless without a good story, right?

I guess not.


We probably know it alot better than you do

Really? You think so huh?

You pretty much already freely admit that everything about the Prequels sucks balls and you ask me to list out details as to why everything after Order 66 is horrible? Is this a joke?

I'm not going to bother going point by point into why the prequels are utterly horrible garbage, as this guy already  did it much better, but I'll tell you a few things.

It's horrible because the films give us no reason to care about the Jedi whatsoever. They're boring, flat pieces of cardboard and they're arrogant ****holes on top of it. It's horrible because every time Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman are on screen together we wish we were watching something else. It's horrible because the prequels never actually take the time to develop the friendship between Obi-Wan and Anakin, and they never give us a reason to feel any real empathy for Anakin and worse, they never give us an opportunity to ever see him as a hero, he's always a whiny little emo b*tch whose only friend in the world is the most evil man in the universe.

What this means is that there is no tragedy whatsoever when he finally succumbs to the Dark Side. There's no shock to it at all, and it's not because we knew he was going to do it from the beginning it's because
the fight between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin has no emotional resonance whatsoever. This isn't a fight between two great heroes who we witnessed having such a great friendship that built up over the course of 3 films. This is a fight between a guy who decided to train this kid because his dying master (who like him was also had the personality of a piece of cardboard)  asked him to and a really f*cked up kid with serious mommy/daddy issues.

No matter how well Ewan Mcgregor pulled off his "You were my brother! I loved you." line it simply cannot wash out the utterly horrible taste of the 6 hours we had to suffer through to get there, and it doesn't erase the fact that the films never even really depict Anakin and Obi-Wan as great friends in the first place (and 5 minutes of them flying around on ships and fighting with eachother in the beginning of the film doesn't make up for everything else). And then, oh man, oh god, oh man, oh god we end up with this.

EDIT: Lets not forget the fact that Padme dies not from getting choked out from the guy whose supposed to be doing all these things to try and save her, but from A BROKEN HEART. LMAO.

If there's anything remotely good about the Star Wars prequels at all, it's good for only the most shallow and meaningless reasons imagineable.

Um the reason why I love Order 66 is because of the tone. Also the reason why Anakin changed was because inside he was scared of losing love ones. It had nothing to do with being a baby. He can not stand it when he loses a love one.

So that's why he kills Padme and tries to kill Obi-Wan? Because he can't stand losing loved ones?

Did you watch the movie? He had already embraced the dark side and Padme was not going to stay with him when she found out what he had done. Then pops out Obi which then Vadar thinks she brought him here and tries to kill her, which he does not in fact. You have to remember at this point, he is no longer Anakin, he is now Vadar.

Oh I forgot though, he didn't actually kill her she dies from a broken heart.

Ya that's high quality writing there fellas.

You have to remember that the prequels suck balls and your average 8 year old could probably write something better.

Um did you remember the scene. He is pissed off because

1. The woman that he loves does not want to be part of it

2. Obi pops out of Padmas ship and he thinks she is helping him now

Emoition plays a big part here, now am I saying it was done good? Not at all, my cat could do better acting then those two but the fight between Obi and Vadar was well done and ended with a good explantation why Vadar is in a metal suit and why he hates Palpatine.

Ya, getting your legs and arms chopped off and crispy fried by lava is a great reason for ending up requiring an iron lung for the rest of your life sure I'll give you that.

But it doesn't change the fact that there's simply no emotional resonance in the scene which it takes place. And sorry but I've got no love for highly coreographed fights that look more like watching a ballet than anything else, much less fights that unecessarily long and pack no emotional punch.

Seriously, their fight in the original Star Wars is better even though it's not full of wiz-bang effects and highly coreographed action.

And hates Palpatine? You're reaching with that one bro. The whole problem is that he has every reason there to want to kill this guy and he just goes along with him anyways.

All of this is a demonstration of bad character development and poor story plotting.

Not realy, the expanded universe (which better then the first 3episodes) goes into detail that Vadar is looking for a ways to kill him, also you have to look how the Sith rule. In order for the aprantice to be the master, he needs to kill his master. Why do you think Vadar trained Starkiller for half the boys life, he was ment to help Vadar kill Palpatine, then he would have killed him and took his other secret apprantice as his only one.

anikins nothin but a panzyfaced ****. thats what i got out of the prequels. its not like the plots in the originals were very good too. the entire begining of return of the jedi is stupid. luke decides to save his buddies by getting captured by jabba and getting throwin into a arklack cave er whatever its called. instead of just luke skywalkering their asses with force powers. if your the tiger woods of force powers, you dont ask questions. but what do you expect out of a kid born from those panzyfaced genes from anikin. i guess the bugger the wussball the better the force you have.

The Expanded Universe is nothing more than glorified fan fiction. It has nothing to do with the films and isn't even canon. Oh ya also it's a bunch of books and not the films. We're talking about the FILMS here, okay?

Anyways this is a bad argument to make in general because if some other material has to fill in the gaps for you this is just more evidence that your film is bad.

Try again kid.

Your kidding right? It is considered canon! Just because you don't consider it  does not mean it's not. Lucas books has stated that the books are cannon, not fan fiction. Lucas has even said the books and games are there to give more background to the star wars universe. Also I am not a kid so don't even try that on me, I am not in the mood for your BS.

I like ME1 and ME2, but for some reason I can sit down and play ME1 for much longer stints at a time without getting bored. I've played through ME1 probably between 8 and 10 times, while only playing ME2 1 and a half or so times. I just really hated the story in ME2, and I also miss being a spectre going around and tracking saren. ME2 just feels a lot less grand IMO, and it's replay value is no where near ME1 for me.

The combat wasn't great in ME1, but I still enjoyed it. I did not find any huge flaws in it and I didn't really have any moments where i threw my controller down because it annoyed me so much.

I also find the replay value limited in ME2. Every time I play ME1, as soon as I become a Spectre and get my ship, I feel the progression of the story is entirely in my control.

In ME2, while I can get five crewmates in any order I see fit, I'm always going to end up at Horizon after the fifth one. And I always get two more crewmates after that before I'm forced to go to the Collector ship. And I can never get Thane, Samara or Tali earlier (not without cheating). And while arguably I'm not forced to head for the Omega-4 Mass Relay soon after the IFF is installed, guilt compels me.

That last one might be stretching my argument a bit.

But anyway, so much of ME2's story feels shackled. I wish I could describe it better, because it's not like ME1 had this massive expanse of different playthrough experiences compared to its sequel. It just felt like it did.

Having said that, ME2 is better at creating an environment and mood. ME1 is a very empty galaxy in comparison.

I hated the council in mass effect 1 one of the only replay values in my opinion is letting them die. I also love sovereign but actual gameplay I love mass effect 2 much much better.

Hmm, I'd like to first point out that you are a fool. Yes, that I think is a proper first statement. "The expanded universe isn't cannon"? You are aware this includes Kotor as well? Since you hate the prequels, expanded universe, and most of Episode VI. You are a fan of just Episodes....IV and V. Yes, you are a 'true' Star Wars fan.

1. The Jedi are one of the few things the films actually build up pretty well. Midochlorians aside, I actually enjoyed watching the Jedi and Obi-Wan in Episode II. Problem was, you have to fast forward through pointless crap to actually reach anything good, which is not worth my time. But most people are going into this having seen the original trilogy- they already know what the Jedi are like, so that is what they emphathize with. I fail to see what about the Jedi makes you hate them so much. Add to that the look on Yoda's face when he realizes what is happening and you should have some sympathy with them.

2. Yes, no tragedy. I would think slaughtering one's comrades and making a deal with the devil would fit the bill, but apparently not. The scenes with Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting don't come together for any effort on Christiansen's part. It's all Ewan McGregor there. From when he finds out Anakin has betrayed them, to interrogating Padme, to fighting Darth Vader, McGregor's acting really managed to pull through, which many critics agreed with. Face it, you're just full of nerd rage right now.

3. Beginning of Episode III didn't do a completely terrible job in this regard. Anakin/Obi-Wan banter "loose wire joke", Anakin saving Obi-Wan,. Problem was Episode II portrayed Obi-Wan as chastising Anakin 24/7, so it's a bit of an odd switch.

4. You are aware that for their time, the original trilogy were considered to be technological marvels, right? Some might consider that "shallow" in some sense. Again, all you like are Episodes IV and V and nothing from the expanded universe. You rage against anything other people like for no particular reason. You are not a Star Wars fan in any sense of the word, good or bad.

Then gues what, heres a solution. Bring back the game, leave these forums, go to the ME forums and talk about ME if you love it so much. The point that you said ME was better then ME2 means you think the gameplay was better and that shows you hate change.

Kraidy1117 I must confess I find your attitude rather petulant and childish. You berate people for being trolls but then skulk around the board telling anyone that has a negative opinion of the game, or parts of it, to basically take back the game and stop posting on what you seem to assume is your forum.

A discussion forum is meant to be that. A place for people to discuss. Life get’s pretty boring if everyone thinks the same and it would be suicidal if we all had to think like you.

Grow up.
