Why must you bring back so good memories of my childhood OP.
I loved this game, and when i got Knights of the Force, I created so many custom levels in the jedi temple, slaying jedi left and right as Anakin(Darth Anakin) and my 501st troops.
I think im gonna go install it and play

>tfw there will never be a game with Kyle Katarn ever again

why?
Make a good saber game
or hell, make a splinter cell style game where you spy on the filthy rebels plans to hurt the glorious empire
the agent story is arguably the best in ToR
>>319657182
JO had better combat
>>319660764
the difference isnt that big
besides, they are both leagues ahead of everything else
>>319657182
Lmao you baited the fuck out of me, bro. Good one.
>set sensitivity to 99 and wiggle with yellow only frantically
Such satisfying and accurate saber combat.
Jedi Academy is objectively dogshit and if you played it and thought it was good you
a.) are retarded
b.) never played jk2
>>319661560
Outcast and Academy have pretty much the same combat though. Granted I consider Outcast the superior (and my personal favorite) game, but it's not like one is shit and the other is a master piece, the worst you can reasonably say is that you prefer one of the other.
>>319661560
show me a star wars game with better saber combat then smartypants
>>319661760
No, JA is objectively worse.
They are fundamentally similar, 3 stances and 8 directional attacks.
But JA combat has poor hit detection, encourages high sensitivity and wiggling your mouse to hit 2-3-4 times in one swing, usually a 1 shot kill with a yellow slash that hits 4 times, and has practically no parrying, countering, or timing other than getting in and landing your wiggle with yellow.
>>319661881
you
a.) are retarded
and
b.) never played jk2
>>319661560
I usually just boot up JKA, launch an empty map and mass spawn weak enemies to slaughter.
Convince me why I will have a better time doing so in Jedi Outcast.
>>319662104
Saber duel 1v1 against real people. If you are just crushing AI then it doesn't matter which one you play.
>>319657182
You got me good
>>319662196
I thought so
No offense though. I just see Jedi Outcast being declared the best on /v/ all the time the games are mentioned in pair. I'm just sticking with Academy because it has the far most custom content available for download along with more varied combat.
Good lightsaber combat is timeless
>>319661057
They were definitely the best melee combat games ever made.
It's so simple too, just 3 stances that act like rock paper scissors to each other and 8 directions you can swing and you can counter directional attacks based on your timing.
Hopefully we get another one some day.
But can you kill younglings?
>>319662079

>>319662614
Check out movie battles 2 for JKA if you haven't already. By far the best mod I played for JKA and it had a fairly active community. It was really good 7 years ago, I'm sure they've improved on it since then. Don't know if it's still alive though.
https://www.moviebattles.org/#about
>>319662709
Since that webm is literally from this game, yeah I'm pretty sure you canretard
>>319662828
Can I play JKA and Movie Battles against only one friend or will it suck donkey dicks?
>>319662828
Can you play that with bots?
>>319658138
There's also another picture like that, post it.
>>319662783
Jk2 noforce duel was the only way to go.
So sorry you missed the boat. You probably couldn't play games rated T for teen when it came out though.
>>319661560
I don't know what part you're playing where that works.
>>319663017

>>319662783
JK2 players don't give a fuck about JKA base
>>319663017
Not him but I have a few, if not the rest
>>319663019
nope I played plenty of jk2 - used to play with LiCK
>>319662938
I'm sure there are still live servers with other people playing. It's a lot more rewarding playing with other people, but it wouldn't hurt to start 1v1ing just to get oriented.
Movie battles is more team oriented but it will still be fun 1v1.
>>319657479
In kotor weapons and armor are supposedly all made with "cortosis" which deflects blaster fire and lightsabers. The reason why nothing is made of it in the movies is because they ran out ofit all by then.
Fucking dumb, I hate when they try and explain gameplay abstractions in the (not) canon like that.
>>319663098
Actually no, don't think so. After the two you posted and the one I just did
>>319663039
If you aren't wiggling and killing people in 1 yellow swing, then you don't know how to play jka.
>>319662005
>one shot kill with yellow
Almost never happens unless the opponent is standing still or the person doing the poke is REALLY good at it.

>>319662005
>But JA combat has poor hit detection, encourages high sensitivity and wiggling your mouse to hit 2-3-4 times in one swing
JK2 had wiggling too.
>>319663216
Why are you complaining exactly? It's not like lightsabers in KOTOR don't make sense, if you're fighting someone with a vibroblade your lightsaber will ALWAYS do much higher damage.
>>319657182
>left click left click left click left click left click and occasionally right click to throw your saber
Wow, such great combat.
>>319663336
1 swing can hit up to 4 times and kill someone in 1 swing. Technically it is 4 hits, but it only takes 1 directional swing and wiggling your mouse chaotically to achieve this. Literally ruined JKA and dashed any JK2 players hopes of another good jk game.
A group of the worst shitbags from JK2 went to JKA and became "good".
All the good JK2 players stayed behind and improved in JK2. The most you could do with multiple hits in JK2 was 2 hitting with a yellow swing, but it actually required timing and skill. JKA was just spamming.
>>319663556
Nigga what the fuck are you talking about. There is no "multiple hits" if you're poking it's one long continuous hit. Maybe you're talking about some weird 1.00 version shit because what you're describing doesn't happen in JKA
>>319663418
WoV was the laughing stock shitbags of JK2 that took up JKA.
And 1 shotting was par for the course in JKA. JKA dueling literally did not exist. It devolved to 2v2s or TFFA because people die so quickly to wiggling.
>>319663445
Also wiggling in jk2 is 2 hits max, jka is 1 hit kills regularly.
>>319663721
>if I keep saying it's true, it might become true
WAB mentioned JK combat in this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVGk4Hy_v0U
>>319663721
>Also wiggling in jk2 is 2 hits max, jka is 1 hit kills regularly.
It's been a long time since my competitive JK2 days, but this is not how I remember it.
>>319663721
And it wasn't even wiggling in JK2, it was dragging. And dragging didn't even come into heavy rotation until way after JK2's prime. It required timing and skill.
JKA was just shaking your mouse violently with high sensitivity to do 100/25 dmg instantly.
>>319663709
I see you're just trolling now. Wiggling was literally all you did in JKA for the duration of the game in all patches. If you don't know about wiggling or think it doesn't exist you were just bad, ignorant, or played with terrible people.
But clearly you're just trolling.
>>319663914
Who?
>>319663949
I know about all that shit. One hit kills are rare as fuck. And the people that usually do it have so focused on trying to poke/wiggle so well that they've forgone getting good at other shit in combat, like basic footwork.
>>319663808
You got me again, baited me to post and then pretended not to know about wiggling in jka.
10/10
>>319663949
>JKA was just shaking your mouse violently with high sensitivity to do 100/25 dmg instantly.
If you wiggle without actually aiming it you'll do less damage than a regular swing
>>319663949
>And it wasn't even wiggling in JK2, it was dragging.
JK2 quite literally had both mechanics. The only reason you think the mechanics were fucked in JKA was because everyone had already figured most of it out when JKA rolled around and abused the shit out of it.
>>319664089
I know what it is and I know it very rarely leads to one hit kills. And I'm pretty sure I know better than you because I actually played the damn game.
>>319664253
I suggest downloading the mod "Knights of the force" it makes the combat even better. Sadly the modder stopped working on it though, it's still fun.

>>319657182
I prefer MB2's saber combat to JKA's a lot. The combination of perfect and manual blocking is the best defense mechanic I've ever seen in a melee combat game, and since it doesn't have Q3-esque movement you aren't bunnyhopping all over and wiggling is completely irrelevant compared to combos.
>>319664089
>writting niggernigegenignininigger in captcha
Those days will never return.
Just finished kotor 1 and 2. I feel like they didn't age too well or something. I liked 2's story or rather characters, but I disliked everything else about 1 and 2. It felt like once you got past a certain point the game just got way too easy. Weird cause I loved baldurs gate 2 and witcher games though. Sorry for the blogpost.
>>319664603
It was no unpatched JK2 but Siege was pretty great. First allnighter for me. Good memories.
It was pretty fun schooling all those plebs who went dual sabers and just did the kata.
>>319664938
>unpatched jk2
What were they thinking when they released that?
>>319664253
Man you were playing all wrong.
You sucked if you weren't 1 shotting people in JKA with wiggles. Which is why dueling was pointless and TFFA became the norm. TFFA consisted of jumping into the fray to position yourself for a wiggle and wiggling. It was awful.
>>319665030
>Backstabs are hard to land, we should make them 1 shot. Also you should be able to spin in circles while you back stab.
>>319665114
>>Backstabs are hard to land, we should make them 1 shot. Also you should be able to spin in circles while you back stab.
I was thinking more along the lines of a saber hit sending someone across the room and killing them on the fall back down.
Maybe some brave developer will make a melee fighting game like JK2 again.
>>319665218
Would it run like Soul Calibur?
>>319665030
Duno. I just know that I couldn't play the unpatched version anymore when I upgraded my PC. Pretty much stopped playing when that happened. Are there still servers up? Because I know JKA is dead since everyone has moviebattles and I just can't be bothered to get that working.
>>319665114
It wasn't just backstabs. They also locked you into DFA and you couldn't use the blue style movie for air control etc. They had no reason to fuck with how people played the game but for some reason they did anyway.
>>319665271
No it would be a 3d game with 8 directional swings and rock paper scissor stances.
>>319665114
>you were playing all wrong
Apparently so was everyone else that I ever met in the game.

DAILY REMINDER
>That third game would cast you as "the Exile" and allow you to track Revan's path. "Whether you encounter him or not..." he pauses, wary of spoilers in case the game ever happens in the future. "The idea was that even before the 'modern day' Sith came into being in The Old Republic ... there were even more distant Sith Lords that were considered the true Sith, and the idea that they were still lurking out there in the galaxy waiting for a chance to strike, kind of like the Shadows in Babylon 5, I thought would be a cool finale for that Old Republic trilogy.
>"Part of the fun with designing them," he adds, "was if you have these incredibly powerful Force users and they have their whole hidden domain out in the distant reaches of the galaxy, what would that Sith empire really look like at the hands of these things?
>"If they could shape entire planets or galaxies or nebulas, and they had all these slave races at their disposal, how cool would that be, to go into the heart of darkness and you're the lone Jedi and/or new version of the Sith confronting these guys? What would that be like? I thought that would be pretty epic."

>>319669456
I just replay the older games all the time.
No way in hell will I trust EA to make a good SW game, especially not nowadays. A fucking shame how a sequel to Battlefront 2 has less features and just general content in it than its predecessor. Hell, even that cancelled, unfinished Battlefront 3 has more content than EA's Battlefront.
>>319657272
> D&D 3.5 game

I'm not sure why they thought that was a good idea for a game with light sabers. Although I guess the high rate of fire for guns is a good choice.
What're the best Star Wars games for someone who loves the universe and have read some of the comics?
I was thinking SWTOR, Jedi Knight and KOTOR. Anything else?

No. Not if you give a shit about either of the two KOTOR games.
What do you want?
Do you want Jedi/Sith stuff? Play Dark Forces, Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy and the two KOTOR games, with the restored content mod for KOTOR 2.
Do you want non-Force stuff? Republic Commando, TIE Fighter, X-Wing, Rogue Squadron, SW: Empire at War, SW Galactic Battlegrounds and... I'm missing something, but I can't remember what.

Also lots of Post War.
