chrislunker Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Hi, I have finished the Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy games. I like the style of the single player shooter and following the built-in storyline. I'm not really interested in the pure strategy games. Does anyone have any recommendations for the next game I should pick up? Between the Galaxies, Battlefront, and Lords of the Old Republic series, I don't know which way to go. Thanks in advance. Adios! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachineCult Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 It's Knights of the Old republic. I've had that same problem now having just finished the KotOR series, you could play Republic Commando but it's not really a long game. Why don't you try online multiplayer Battlefront (II) or Jedi Academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Yeah, playing MP can make you play the game some extra years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrislunker Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 Are they planning on making any new games in this Jedi Knight series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffSaberist Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Not that we know of. Sorry about that. But you can find tons of extra single-player levels, multiplayer levels, or mods for Jedi Academy and other games at http://www.lucasfiles.com http://www.pcgamemods.com http://www.massassi.net Perhaps that can keep you playing new things. But since users created all of those things, beware of human errors, or just plain bad looking maps. Anyway, have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Really I love JA, but I just don't have much time to play it anymore. I help run a popular server and play it once in a blue moon now, but mods are really what keep it going for me. Mods like the OJP (Open Jedi Project), Endor Siege, Asteroids Mod, bonus maps, and things like that. Without mods I probably would have stopped playing the game for good in '04. And no, we have NOTHING official or unofficial about a sequel to JA. Just like with Republic Commando, every month or so somebody will ask if there's a sequel, but nothing ever comes of it, period. Just like every so often somebody starts a rumor that the servers for JA are all shutting down by X or Y date, nothing ever comes of it. If we knew something, we'd be talking about it, really. If you enjoyed the multiplayer of JK2/JA, then Battlefront 2 will annoy you no end. It feels scaled back and the graphics feel more cartoony. It has quantity, no doubt, with the multitude of vehicles, but it lacks (IMHO) the quality that JK2/JA had. The Jedi are crappy and used soley as powerups, and the vehicles are clumsy and slow or fast and fragile as a balsa-wood airplane. It might be a fun game, but it's nothing like these. There really is no true sequel to the JK series out there beyond JA, but if you haven't already, check out the previous games in the series. The graphics may be dated and they may lack dedicated servers, but the gameplay rocks and there's hundreds if not thousands of mods to check out free. As for the recent Star Wars games, Republic Commando is great, but you'll beat it in about a day or two, and the multiplayer you'll get tired of in about a week. KOTOR and KOTOR 2 come highly recommended, but I haven't had the time to play them. Be warned that the combat is turn based. There is some modding for the game apparently, so that might be worth checking out. No multiplayer of course, so once you beat the game on each side of the force that's about it. I'm not one for pay to play MMORPG's, like SWG, so I can't recommend it. Many people I've talked to say it was a disappointment, and now the game has been drastically dumbed down for noob players. It looks to me like you have to buy the expansion packs to really get the true Star Wars feel, but that's again the opinion of one who's never played it and only read about it or talked to former players. Empire at War looks promising, but that's a whole different genre (3-D RTS, apparently in the same vein as Emperor: Battle for Dune). It won't be out until next month last I heard. As for the Star Wars console games, Rogue Squadron III is pretty cool, though only for Gamecube, and the Episode III game is heavily overhyped, apparently only considered good by fanboys and people who haven't played the PC version of Jedi Academy and seen what that kind of game should really be like (or just people who will buy anything Star Wars related and not care about gameplay). When checking out old games, try also the X-Wing series, especially X-Wing Alliance. Very cool, and there's many mods to enhance the graphics and ships to make them more realistic to the movies (http://www.xwaupgrade.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clone L68362 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 KOTOR and KOTOR 2 will give you a LOT of play time Kurgan. There's way more than 2 ways to play each game, add in mods, and just playing for fun, you've got lots of replayability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Solo Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I really want to get KOTOR 2. I have heard that it is a very sweet game. Jedi Outcast 2 was awesome. So I should by KOTOR 2 maybe on Feb 5, my birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffSaberist Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Sounds like a good idea, except I'm not sure what you mean by Outcast II. Do you mean Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast? If not, then the one after Outcast would be Jedi Academy, and it isn't really Outcast II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffSaberist Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 KOTOR > KOTOR2 * 2 I disagree. While KotOR 1 had a more complete storyline, the cool stuff in TSL is way too good to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Yoyo Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I think you just played the two best games in JO and JA. But you can download lots of addon sp levels for it. Also there is the Dark Forces mod for Jedi Academy at http://darkforces.jediknight.net. The X-Wing series is awesome to. X-Wing Alliance is the best game out of the series.

rccar328 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I highly recommend Force Commander. If you need a pair of frisbees or coasters, that is. My favorites (besides JK:O & JA) are X-Wing Alliance, anything Rogue Squadron, and EPI:Podracer. I haven't been able to play KOTOR yet...I've heard it's great, but I'm waiting until the time when I can get a computer that can handle it (although I do own a copy as I eagerly await the arrival of that day).
