Which one do you prefer and why?

 

What do you hate about the other, what do you love about your preference.

 

 

Me, Jedi Knight series. KOTOR is too tediouse and entrapping. And I HATE doing math puzzles.

I'd much rather prefer KotOR over Jedi Knights. More because the reason that I simply like it more, and it's funner to me than Jedi Knights is. There really isn't any specific reason why. But yeah, KotOR for me.

Well I've played the JK series for longer and while it is good to play, overall I prefer the KOTOR series. It has much better humour, better storylines, like in TSL and it runs better on my computer at the moment.

The JK series is cool, but KotOR appealed to me more. Still, it's hard to judge. Dark Forces II and Jedi Outcast were really cool games, as is Jedi Academy's multiplayer. But I believe KotOR has more of a lasting appeal...

The only game that had a better storyline than KOTOR and TSL was Dark Forces II. I really liked the storyline in that and Jerec used to scare me, when I first got the game. Now if the graphics had JA's engine...

^ Have you ever played JK series?

 

I have never played KOTOR so I cant make a judgement, but by the screenshots in KOTOR, JKA and JKO ( And maybe Dark forces 2 ) look better.

I love both series, but I definitely like KotOR better. Great storyline, very interesting characters, and an excellent Star Wars RPG experience. It's also much less boring replaying it over and over again. With all the different choices you can make, it's like playing a different game.

You can't judge by screenshots. KotOR's graphics alone beat JKA's (which were distinctly average), and KotOR's storyline blows JKA's storyline away, which was also distinctly average.

I own both game series myself and if asked which I would rather play it would be the Kotor series. But this is because I'm an avid RP gamer from PNP to a decent CRPG. I'm a fan of Sci-fi and favor Kotor of NWN for the Sci-fi aspect not to mention the interface is alot better than NWN. The JK games are A FPS with a taste of RP but since it is 98% combat and only 2% problem solving RP and holds very little interest for me as compared to a good CRPG like Kotor. While Kotor is heavy in combat about 60-75% it is heavily filled with story and choices and occasionally even the ability to avoid combat. This is true Role playing at it's finest so It will always win out over the 1 or 2 times you get to make a Darkside choice in the JK games.

 

Maybe this explains why I can be found 98% of the time at Lucasforums In the Holowan Labs for Kotor modding.

I only have played the first Knights of the Old Republic game. I am still in progress of completing it. It's addictive. :D

 

I also have one of the Jedi Knights game thanks to the Best of PC set. I have yet to try it though.

 

So, I would have to go with KotOR.

Both games are good for different reasons. KotOR has a kick-ass plot and in-depth characters. The gameplay for JK is a lot more fun though IMO.

 

Overall I prefer KotOR, though JK comes in close second.
