    mmmm... G_saberrealisticcombat [sic] ......
  • RubberEagleRubberEagle What's a rubber eagle used for, anyway?
    it's NOT JK3...
    JK3 will be with Kyle Katarn as main character.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Eh. Either way, it's going to be damn fun to play.
  • RubberEagleRubberEagle What's a rubber eagle used for, anyway?
    yep, it will be ;)
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Well see :)
  • DAMNIT! I just bought my new PC, and I'm still working on my speakers and some other stuff which total over $300, plus now I gotta get:
    [i]Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy[/i] (September 17)
    [i]Halo: Combat Evolved[/i] (September 23)
    [i]Half-Life 2: < Insert Subtitle >[/i] (September 30)
    [i]Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne[/i] (Fall)
    [i]Counter-Strike: Condition Zero[/i] (God Knows When)

    Usually I can just decide which ones to skip over and which to keep, but the only thing I could willingly drop and still be able to look at myself in the mirror every morning is CZ. Even then, it's gonna be over $200. My birthday was July 9th, Xmas is too damn far away, and I can't trick my sister into wanting any of these for her Noverber birthday like I did with Meta Gear Solid 2 (:D)
    I usually end up working only one day per week, since I'm a newbie (Using that term in real life now :D), and that = a little over $25. If she would give me as many hours as I'm supposed to work, I would be making just under $100/week. I NEED FULL HOURS every week before school starts in order to get 'em... and maybe even a little time on the riding lawn mower.

    And that is my life's story.

    Does anyone think that these nestled titles are a bit ridicules. I mean, isn't the game's full title something like [i]Star Wars: Dark Forces IV: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast II: Jedi Academy I[/i]? How people keep them all straight is a mystery for the ages.

    Dark Forces
    Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight
    Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
    Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

    This is the first one to no use it's prequel's subtitle as a title.

    Dark Forces was more about guns, because a 3D lightsaber that could block stuff was too advanced. You got a lightsaber, but it was crappy in JK, then JK2 finally gave you a good lightsaber. It's the first real Jedi game, IMO.
  • KevokKevok Trainee
    Don't forget about the sequel to the best RTS ever. Homeworld 2.
  • Starcraft 2? I know, I can't wait for it... they better announce it soon.

    (:D)
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    I hardly ever used the lightsaber in JK1, but in JK2 once I get it I use it almost exclusively.
  • Kyle Katarn is one of the teachers, and your mentor guy.

    You get to choose, race, costume, saber handle and color. :)

    And you get it from the start! WOOT!

    Because it was actually useful, and looked damn pretty. Especially with g_sabberrealisticcombat 1 :D
  • David of MacDavid of Mac Elite Ranger Ca
    The bitch of it is, saberrealisticcombat made the game too damn easy. There was no more fun in lightsaber battles when you could just cut off the bastard's head in the first five seconds.

    But it was fun to look at (at least, when it wasn't creepy), especially since it decided the death animation by what dismemberment happened first. I lost count of how many times I saw headless, legless stormtroopers clutching their wrists and screaming for a good twenty seconds. That was funny.

    note how he said Saberrealisticcombat 1

    that turns it on, however the saber does no extra damage, meaning only the final blow dismembers, it still takes the same # of hits to kill.

    saber combat 2 does alot more damage

    saber combat 3 was an insta kill on anything. :)

    saber combat 99 is basically 3, no noticable difference.

    now, setforceall 99 had some SERIOUS advantages over setforceall 3 :)
    two new stances and one FUN mind trick. :)
  • David of MacDavid of Mac Elite Ranger Ca
    How odd. People seemed to die much more easily with Saberrealisticcombat 1 on. Hell, I didn't even know that you could set things above their "maximum". I'll have to try the setforceall 99 thing. Sounds fun.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    My favorite force trick is still standing somewhere above a bunch of troopers and pulling them into the air.

    1) Yeah, people did seem to die much more easily than normal.
    2) Setforceall 99 allows you to actually control someone when you mind trick 'em.
  • Just use SetForceAll 5. Same thing, one less key.
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    Jedi Academy is a great game :D

    I think JK3 will be Kyle and Jan's son/daughter in the NJO period.

  • Now, what would really rock is if you have dual sabers if you can block shots from the front AND the rear...

    THAT would be SWEET. Only bad thing is that it obviously isn't tied in with the writers' evil plan already. It will be like JK and JKII, defeat this threat to the galaxy that isn't worth mentioning outside your own game and doesn't disturb series continuity whatsoever. What WOULD be cool is if they had done it before hand, like they had offhand mentioned little Kyle going to do something, have it succeed, and then you get to do it.
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    Kyle was mentioned in one of the books. It Remnant, Luke had gathered the Jedi and he noticed that Kyle Katarn was missing.

    Can you imagine fighting all Yuuzhan Vong? They'd be harder than Reborn, only be vulnerable in certain spots, and wouldn't give you ammo. :(

    [Edit]I don't mean to say that Reborns are hard, I just mean that you need the Imps in there to give you ammo and just generally be fun to kill.
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    Well, it wouldn't just be Yuuzhan Vong...there are the peace brigade to deal with too.

    I imagine that getting an Amphistaff to be simulated properly will be quite difficult...but imagine having Jedi vs Yuuzhan Vong mp scenarios :D

  • WHYWHY Elite Ranger
    one of these years... I just have to stay home one summer and read that entire series of books....


    not just NJO, but all the relevant EU books.
  • There are some VERY good SW series out there, the entire one with Grand Admiral Thrawn was good.
  • Read the entire NJO series this summer. I think I'll reread the thrawn trilogy & duology, and, if I'm still interested, go from there. Never did read the centerpoint trilogy. Hey, which is the one with the ressurected emperor?
  • WHYWHY Elite Ranger
    think that might be a comics series...
