Star Wars: KoTOR
I bought Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic in a Steam sale recently and am replaying it for the first time since it was released some ten odd years ago. I'm having a blast and can't stop playing; I'd forgotten how much fun it is and how great Bioware was back in the day.
Who else loves this game?
I also picked up for cheap through Steam, but this was awhile ago. Got the same price, though!
Anyway, I originally played this on my original Xbox. It was pretty much the only reason why I got that console. I loved it for the fact that it felt like I was interacting in the best of the good Star Wars Expanded Universe. Choosing the typical good against Evil path may seem tired these days, but it was fresh back then, and it made so much sense in a Star Wars game! And the plot twist in KOTOR rivals that of the "I am your father" kind!
I actually don't all that much to be honest. It's all right, but I didn't find it to be anything special. Loads better than Bioware's recent stuff though.Originally Posted by Pike

I actually didn't like it because it was so unbelievably obvious. I had it pegged extremely early in the game so when I got to it all I could really think was something along the lines of "oh, okay. I guess you actually decided to go that way. Well then."
I actually never finished the game completely because I just kind of stopped shortly after. I was bored and the big twist was a predictable let down. Perhaps worse though is that I had to hear from everyone who ever mentioned the game again how awesome the plot twist was. I honestly think I grew to hate it more after the fact because people thought that was so good. I actually think I would have liked the game more if it didn't hold onto the pretense of trying to do something clever.
Never played it, but I want to.
Thought this had something to do with Knights of the Round. Was mistaken.

I just picked it up on Steam, but sadly, my computer memory is...low, so I actually can't really play it at the moment. I'm saving all my Steam titles I bought for a new PC. Beyond that, I just always heard good things about it. I already know the major plot twist so the "big twist" isn't really going to surprise me. I just wanted to play a decent Star Wars game.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.

I liked the twist. It suprised me, anyway! I wouldn't call KoTOR one of the best games of all time, but it is still solid and very good, imo.
I smurfing loved this game when I first played it. I must have done 4-5 runs back to back because I enjoyed it so much and wanted to try out the different alignments and character styles.
I even loved the sequel, nearly as much.
I played it back to back a few times when it came out and still own an xbox copy.
...
Yeah, KotOR and KotOR 2 are two of my favourite games from the Xbox.
I saw the twist coming a mile off when I realised (SPOILER)they never refer to Revan as a he or she
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
...you know, that's a good point. Somehow I never noticed that, apparently.
The reason I didn't pick up on it was because I thought they were going to reveal Revan to be alive, but it wouldn't be the player character. I just thought they were being very vague about it so no one has a chance to guess it.
I still own both my original xbox copies of KoToR 1 and KoToR 2: The Sith Lords. I'd never get tired of them!
I only played KotOR 2. Loved the 3 sith lords especially the one with 3 violet lightsabers.
She is like the older version of me but cooler and sightless.
