jedi_exile Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 well the only starwars games ive ever played were kotor 1 and 2. i want to get a new game but i dont know which is actually worth my money. i basicly have it down to jedi academy and jedi knights but i dont know which one is better. please tell me th goods and bads of both games which one you like best. thx
Diego Varen Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Wrong section jedi_exile. This should be in Ahto. Anyway, I own KOTOR, TSL, JK, JA and many other games. JK is harder than JK, but on JA, you can create your own person. I would reccomend you get JK first, so you get the story on JA.
jedi_exile Posted June 11, 2006 Author Posted June 11, 2006 one thing that would really intrest me is great online play with interaction between players. do Jk or Ja have a good role playing online experience or is it just action? Edit: and if i happen to chose Jk which one is better for me? the first or outcast?
Diego Varen Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 I've never played Online. Anyway don't double post. Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight is the before Outcast, but has worst graphics. Jedi Outcast has a good storyline, but not as good as Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight. Jedi Academy is set after Jedi Outcast, but it doesn't have a good storyline as much as the other two. It is good to play Jedi Academy if you're bored.
jedi_exile Posted June 11, 2006 Author Posted June 11, 2006 ok im a little confused, plz tell me the order of the games, first to last and which one is your fav
HK-42 Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 i like Ja better then JK becase of more lightsaber fights but JK is better at storylines i got JK first but i knew nothing of the series then.Later igot JA
Diego Varen Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 The Series: Dark Forces (PC/PSX): I've never completed this, but this is the first game where Kyle Katarn joins the Rebel Alliance and aids them in getting the Death Star plans. This has the worst graphics. Dark Forces 2/Jedi Knight (PC): A lot better than Dark Forces, this is the first game where Kyle becomes a Jedi. Graphics are a lot better, but not as good as JO and JA. To me, this has the best Storyline out of the lot. And the most levels. Also has the option to be Light or Dark and select your Force Powers. Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast (PC/Xbox/Gamecube): This has improved Lightsaber fights and much better graphics and also a good Storyline. This is set nine years after Kyle stopped being a Jedi. Jedi Academy (PC/Xbox/Gamecube): You play Jaden Korr, Kyle's apprentice. This has the best Lightsaber fights, however the storyline is lacking. Also has the option to be Light or Dark and select your Force Powers.
jedi_exile Posted June 11, 2006 Author Posted June 11, 2006 ok so JA has the best custmization out of all and i can chose what Jaden looks like. IT is also best for playing anytime, even when your board. i guess this is the one i will get then, thx

MachineCult Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 JA has a great online RPing community, definitely buy that if you want good online gaming, download the JA+ mod if you want an even better experience.
RedHawke Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 please tell me th goods and bads of both games which one you like best. thx Uh? Wrong forum there, this belongs in Ahto... moving.
FiEND_138 Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 JA has a great online RPing community, definitely buy that if you want good online gaming Thus the problem with the community. If your hoping for a little FPS action look elsewhere. By all means buy it if you don't mind the admin using server side hacks... excuse me admin mods, slapping you, freezing you, standing around chatting, half of the game disabled; force powers & weapons, following a perverted sence of "Jedi Honorz" with constantly changing rules, & the whiniest damn community on the face of the net. @ Pottsie; You forgot Mysteries of the Sith.
milo Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 I think Outcast is the best of the Jedi Knight games. Though seriously, if you want Star Wars games, you should really think about buying Force Commander.
Diego Varen Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 @ Pottsie; You forgot Mysteries of the Sith. I know. Luckily I have the game along with JK, but it is hard to get, so I didn't bother to add it.
Peff Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 jedi academy of course !!! It's way much better than outcast !
Prime Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 I'd play Jedi Knight -> Jedi Outcast -> Jedi Academy.
HerbieZ Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Personally Dark Forces 2 was the best, Outcast had the lamest story ever. There was just no point to it, some dinosaur goes after the valley of the jedi, it's such a predictable plot that you could see it coming a mile off. I also don't like how it was done, they tried to show way too much off with the engine by putting too many references from the films and they ruined Nar Shaddaa. For some reason, it did'nt look half as grimey and bustly as Dark Forces 2 and for a game more advanced than DF2 in every department, Nar Shaddaa was incredibly linear.
jedi_exile Posted June 12, 2006 Author Posted June 12, 2006 well i just went to order JA and to my surprise it and JK were only 10 bucks each, so i got both
