Joetheeskimo Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Originally posted by txa1265 I think that some people take a game and personally invest so much in believing a game to be 'best ever' that when the reviewers don't see it that way they get upset. Which reminds me - be your own reviewer. If you really like a game, does it matter what GameSpy scored it? It shouldn't - you should be playing the game, not quibbling about someone else's opinion. Mike Exactly, which is why I said "**** GameSpy, I know an awesome game when I see it!" Originally posted by ZBomber Honestly, SP < MP. I have more fun playing SP usually, but it gets boring once you beat it. You may think of it that way, but I have a feeling ocne I play the SP throguh I'll be ready for a replay right away. I played the demo several times over and still haven't gotten bored. Imagine how much I'll have to do when the actual game arrives. And my point is, I think the MP will end up being like JA MP. I didn't like JA MP. Therefore, I'm (was/am) hoping it won't be an "average" MP like JA. By what the reviews are saying about their MP being nothing special, it's pretty obvious the MP will just be average.
lukeiamyourdad Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 There won't be any role-playing in MP this time. I hope not...
Joetheeskimo Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 People might role-play training camps or something, or maybe start battle with RP situations, but it's pretty hard to RP with a game like Republic Commando. JA is meant more for online role-playing.

Yeh, but you can replay a game only a certain ammount of times, even with great SP games like Halo. Thats why it's good to have a good MP to fall back on.

lukeiamyourdad Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Originally posted by ZBomber even with great SP games like Halo. Eh...I wouldn't call Halo's SP to be "great" The story was fun but the level design was so bad...especially the last one of Halo 1...geez...

Drax64 Posted February 26, 2005 Author Posted February 26, 2005 I dont know about that, man. 16 people in an enclosed space killing each other with a rocket launcher is pretty fun. But RPing a video game while its playing? That sounds like too much work.

You could do that with more people in JA, plus you had freakin lightsabers and force. In RC you'll be able to do the same, minus the lightsabers and force. And on the PC you can have more people(32 I believe is the recommended max).
ManaMana Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Originally posted by Kurgan To that I say "who cares." I remember how the dedicated JK/MotS community made tons of (many quite good quality) Episode I themed mods when TPM came out. Hey, krugan, were still up on massassi. We are also (Not WE, but a guy called Hellraiser) doing a JK Editing hub, check it out if you missed it.

JA is meant more for online role-playing. Well, JA isn't meant for role playing and is no more "friendly" to it than any other FPS game. It's the various admin mods that have been created for it by fan modders that have allowed that "shift" to take place. The hype for this game comes from the fact that it's tied to Episode III (and thus it's a game for "spoiler fans" before the movie and will be for fans of the movie afterward). That and with the delay, you obviously have a huge buildup of content on the official site and press releases, etc. because they thought they were going to release the game, then didn't, so they are doing the "hype machine" thing twice. Understand? It's not as if we can just smugly blame any disappointment this game generates solely on the fans and their delusions. Sure, you could say that LucasArts has NOT hyped the MP portion of this game. They really haven't. It's all been about SP for them. And they're laying it on thick as this very polished, revolutionary gritty squad based game. Oh, and it has some MP too in there someplace. As to the JK Editing stuff, that's cool. I'm well aware that Massassi is keeping that aspect of the classic community alive and I'm grateful and think that's awesome. I honestly don't play JK/MotS anymore (in favor of JA), however I loved those games for years, and I still think they're great. I will one day revisit them again for old time's sake, and this new thing with Qtracker will probably be the thing to get me interested in that sooner rather than later. ; )
Prime Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Originally posted by InsaneSith And what hype? Indeed. Republic Commando is one of the least hyped Star Wars games there is.

It is interesting - I would say that RepCom isn't so heavily 'hyped', but certainly heavily covered ... the EpIII 'Ultimate Jedi Simulator' is more hyped ... Mike

Joetheeskimo Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 "Ultimate Jedi Simulator"? What kind of a dorky title is that?

Drax64 Posted February 28, 2005 Author Posted February 28, 2005 Why of course we pay attention to things. Holy Crap!!!! Lando Calrissian is black!
lonepadawan Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Thats because they all live under rocks. Large rocks with indoor swimming pools certainly. But still rocks.
lukeiamyourdad Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 RC R AWESOMEZ! -Sith. (needed to topicize it)
