Yeah, but the blaster bits before you get a lightsaber, ugh.
The ‘relative’ aiming system just really puts me off.
Yeah, storywise it makes sense and it sucks to play through
I kind of enjoyed the getting used to the weapons part. Probably the first game I had to use so many buttons for. 1-9 were guns, f1-f8 force powers, by the time I got to Jedi Academy having mouse buttons 4 & 5 mapped to specific force powers was a necessity
Academy was so wierd, some parts were good, others were halfbaked. I do remember it as fun though
The controls/gameplay was amazing in both Outcast/Academy, it nearly ruined KOTOR for me if it wasn’t for the story being so good there. Academy to me was just to short. I remember beating it in one sit down… Like 20 times. Then again I was a kid who had the time to spend 5 hours playing a game, now I’m sure it would take me days to beat.
You were evil/good for the last mission only or something close to it right? Other than that I do remember it being VERY short, and that some of the puzzles could be challenging first time around, but easy second time around.
I think they hunkered down on they get double blades or dual welded lightsabers, they’ll be happy.
That said, Outcast and Academy used to have multiplayer hangout rooms where you could practice how to perform moves and hang out with others, wish that had been expanded upon. An MMO with those controls would have been awesome.
That’s what the Jedimaster mod is for.
This guy used to have the broccoli cut
Oh and he was live action
That was just the standard attractive white male actor in the 90s. Even Pierce Brosnan had that cut when he was James Bond.
Also, I think the sides are a little too long and the top not nearly curly enough to be considered a broccoli cut, but I’m also quite blind to these sorts of fashion trends so maybe I’m wrong.
No you’re right. I thought Brosnan’s was shorter but maybe Jonathan Frakes would count as this too.
I retract my statement
That’s how my newer games look at me as I say I have nothing to play. So I boot up an old game.
Actually, I have no time to commit to a new game. So I play games I’m familiar with that I can pick up after being away for 2 months with zero issues.
this is pretty much why I play retros anymore. I can take save states and just come back months if not years later.
I wish it were easier to mod current-gen QoL features into older games.
Burnout 3: Takedown holds up so well though
Star Wars Galaxies Emu is still going strong, and is more recently undergoing a massive renovation with one private server expanding/reworking parts of it.
I just got the BFME All-in-One launcher, I’m busy for a while.
I do not know what that is, but now I need to go find out.
Just did a run through Freelancer.
Might hop on the Dosbox and fire up EGA Trek later.
Everytime I fire up Freelancer I love love love it. It’s an incredibly good game. Pity that Crossfire is such a monstrous increase in difficulty from the get-go, I am still stuck on the first missions because I keep giving up.
Have you ever played its prequel, Starlancer?
Oh - that was the prequel? No, as a matter of fact, I have not. Does it run as well on wine as Freelancer?
Not sure. It’s pretty obscure, I think I was able to get it to run on my old Windows Vista laptop. No such luck in the Win 7 era though.
I’ll take that as a “yes, likely it’ll work fine on wine” g Try wine yourself, it usually runs old games better than Microslop :)
omgeeeee, this game was the best!!
Are you kidding me, i have installed Morrowind, Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas, GTA San Andreas and Saints Row 2 on my new Build…
Ok i admit, i mod the shit out of them, but still…
Please, I play Morrowind vanilla. Actually, I play it on my Series X.
I played long time ago, i also use OpenMW now, not worth the headache config vanilla to be playable in a modern PC
I’d love an emulator so I could play it on my phone. Retroarch doesn’t have a core, and as far as I can tell an android capable emulator doesn’t exist.
Funfact: Morrowind has a pretty nice Star-Wars total conversion mod:
It’s a bit buggy, weird, extremely ambitious and a lot of fun. They even managed to put in janky space flights and combat. 😄
Yeah, i never played Star Wind, i always have modlists on Morrowind and never planned scrape it and install a Star Wind one, but i admit i should try someday, especially becsuse i like KOTOR I and II
Well I think the frustration is we want novel new experiences with old world quality. Not to play the old game. Nothing wrong with playing old games. But I understand the desire for something new AND good.
Hence Expedition 33 being as well received as it was. The game was clearly made with passion, despite what you may personally think of the genre or other subjective traits.
Look, humans are good at subconscious understanding. We can tell when something is made with love and something is made with greed.
Sometimes we can’t articulate it. But we know.
I really should go back and finish Jedi Outcast.
I’m waiting for Aspyr to remaster Jedi Knight - Dark Forces 2.
I just played Doom 2016 yesterday. I can’t believe that’s ten years old now… both because damn, time flies, but also it has great graphics, better than most games today imho
I play my PS2 emulator more than my $10,000 steam library these days. Kinda just waiting for GTA 6
I’m currently playing all of the Ratchet & Clank games in rpcs3, upscaled to 4k resolution. They look and play great! 😍
After that, it’s gonna be time for the Jak & Daxter series in the OpenGoal engine.
I’ve already played them!
