Jahgro Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I haven't played the first two games, will i be missing a bunch of stuff that is crucial to the story? or will i be ok to play through without knowing what happens in the first two games? does anybody know of a detailed synopsis for the first two games?

Jedi.Maverick Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Dark Forces and MOTS are not as crucial as JK I to understand whats going on. But it would be nice if you get kyle katarn's background on starwars.wikia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 The game is just fine as a standalone. But the other games to provide a lot of backstory and help with the overall feel of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n.a Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Kind of late to be buying this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neal8929 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 If you have any love of star wars whatsoever, get this game. Its old, but great fun gameplay especially after you put dismemberment mod on. MP is ok, but not as many folks still play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadYorick Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I didn't buy the first two games till much later. I still liked both JO and JA. So I would say yes you would enjoy this game. It has the third best single player campaign I have seen. #1 would have to be KOTOR 1 and #2 would have to be either JK or MotS. The multiplayer is very well done as well. There are still thousands of people playing it Anyway if you want a detailed synopsis I would recommend using Wikipedia Here is the first game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Forces Here is the second game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Jedi_Knight:_Dark_Forces_II Here is MotS the expansion to the second game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Jedi_Knight:_Mysteries_of_the_Sith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nizwiz Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 No doubt you will. My jk history: JK3, JK2, DF (currently playing), DF2:JK (next on my list). I've enjoyed / am enjoying every single one of them (no matter the clunky graphics of the older ones). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrisG Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 And there is a Mod that puts new updated models into JK DF II btw. Poster, yes indeed you will LOVE this game i really think, it is an amazing achievement of game design, the levels are awesome, the settings and the in game vids are superb and it is an all around winner, head above most of the most modern super graphic games that are really just shoot em ups on speed. This game is one of the very best I have ever played, and will remain a classic, along with JK Academy which you should play after this one. The first two, actually three if you add the expansion to JK DF II, MOTS, Mystery of the Sith, are all interesting storywise but quite a bit older in terms of graphics but you can tweak at least JK DF and JK DF II with the right in game settings to get a very respectable appearance to the graphics with the engine they used. Have fun, and may the Force be with you!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Yoyo Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 You will enjoy this game. JO and JA are my favorite games still today. The SP campaign in JO is the best I've ever played. The SP campaign in JK DF2 is real close. The two best gaming experiences of my life were the first time I played JK DF2 and JO. You should defenitaly get JA after you complete JO. The 6 level Dark Forces Mod for JA was just released. There are SP addon levels for both JO and JA to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendarknight Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 u will really enjoy this game even if u havnt played the other but there nothing as good as playing the complete saga of df/jk good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadYorick Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I only got DF2 because I was curious about the storyline. But the game is good either way. You can understand the story irregardless since it doesn't rely on backstory a whole lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totenkopf Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Got MOTS with my copy of DFJK, but actually never finished it. Still, you don't need either to enjoy JO. I'd have to say I pretty much agree with Prime's assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKA-001 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Jedi Outcast rocks, but I recommend getting all of its predecessors as well. Even Dark Forces, which people still make mods/maps for. When a game that old still has a modding community, that's saying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
