Republic Commando is a cool fps with "bro dialogue" between the characters.

Is pic related worth getting? Should I get only this one or the sequel too?

Kotor 1's a mediocre game carried by its twist
Kotor 2's a good game that's super rough but fixable
>>
>>336372327
2 can give you enough of the story that you don't necessarily have to play the first one, but if you really like a by the books star wars RPG, go for it, otherwise KOTOR 2 is just all around a better game
>>
>>336372801
Kotor 2 has steam workshop support so fixing it is extremly easy

Is Republic commando a good single player game and does it work well with modern devices?
>>
There's a sale on PSN as well. How is the PS4 version of this?
>>
>>336372327

Both are great.

KotOR1 is Bioware cliché by now, but the plot twist is great and well done.
KotOR2 is good but was rushed as fuck and is largely unfinished. Get community patches.

>>336372964

Aside from enemies being bulletsponges at times it's a good FPS.

>>336374936
get academy and then torrent the files for outcast and use a mod called JOA to load the outcast assets into Academy so you have both games on one.

Academy has the superior saber combat while outcast has the better campaign. The downside of the mod is that you can't use items which isn't that big of a deal except for the fact that the sections where you'd normally use your light amp goggles to see in dark places you now have to navigate by lightsaber light which isn't very bright or by just hugging walls and shit but there arent too many of those in the game.

Other than that the other issue is that some segments dont work like that 20 second low grav thing and some of the turret segments are screwy.
>>
Anyone who decides to get republic commando just be advised that if you want the game to work on widescreen you're gonna need to put some serious effort into it and have a hex editor handy.

Game runs fantastically but that's one painful first step to get the fov right.

Otherwise you're just stretching out the render of the screen but the helmet hud will be in the center and look weird.

Dark Forces 2 is awesome but I literally cannot get it to work. Every time I hit escape to go into the menu the resolution changed to like 600x400 or something dreadful.

Kotor1 would probably have made for a better movie than episode 7. The rough plot, the twist and the showdown at the starforge would have fit perfectly for a movie adaption.

>>336391804
One of the things I thought while while watching it was that some KOTOR-style sudden Sith invasion would've worked a lot better than 'the Death Star, but even bigger' again.

>>336376319
With Dark Forces, keep in mind that it's a purely-DOSbox affair using the original, so you're gonna be limited to keyboard controls and the original 640x480 resolution

There's a source port called DarkXL that the creator insists is close to it's next big milestone, but it's rough as fuck currently, uses the generic Windows GS synth for it's music (without iMUSE support), has broken cutscenes, and is still loaded with a handful of game-breaking bugs

In Phantom Menace i spend most of the time cheating myself unlimited health and killing every single NPC in every single level.

Protip for any KOTOR virgins: Sentinel is the best class when it comes to experiencing all the world has to offer, because a lot of the shit you do is tied to persuasion, computer use, and repair. Starting with high charisma and putting points into persuade and tagging all three levels of empathy will make load-bearing story dialogue checks pass easily, same with gear head and repair/computer use, and a high repair means cheap droid reactivations, and activating ALL options on a disabled droid gives you a fuckton of XP beyond story-based repair events, same deal with computer use and all the terminals throughout, with a high level giving you addition console options beyond basic "unlock this" stuff

HK-47 also calls for a high repair skill in order to get additional story stuff in both games. In the first, a bunch of new dialogue is opened-up post-revelation if you fully-restore his memory before being captured, and in the second, talking to him about languages and how you're able to manipulate the HK vocabulator is tied to getting the good ending, since this dialogue path leads to the mission where you trace the source of the new HK units, and eventually his solo mission to the HK factory

The way buffs are handled means that you don't need to dump points into STR/DEX to survive, upping charisma increases the effectiveness of your force powers, buffs included, and maxing force valor, force speed, force barrier, force aura, and battle meditation (TSL) turns you into a Cuisinart around the time you go to the surface of Telos combined with flurry, and unlocking dominate mind as fast as possible makes persuasion a lot easier, as well as unlocking unique dialogue opportunities

Also, if you plan to go 100% lightsaber-centric in the first, don't pick any of the melee weapon feats, as those only apply to melee non-lightsaber weapons, and specific lightsaber feats open-up once you become a jedi, in TSL, just wait until you have a lightsaber before throwing points into it

There's really nothing beyond texture mods on Deadlystream, I use the level retextures for each game, and for TSL, there's one called A Darker Peragus that makes it look less-boring, and the high-poly tin cans mod for saber hilts, TSL is patched to work with AMD cards, but KOTOR isn't, and you have to disable soft shadows and framebuffer effects in kotor.ini to start it without crashing, but you really only just lose bloom
