_Kyle_ Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 WW's art style is better than the remakes of the N64 era's graphics. something about how glossy they are is so unappealing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Been playing Skyward Sword on the Switch, and the controls are still really weird tbh, but I got used to them after a couple hours and I'm actually enjoying this so much more than the Wii version. I tried playing the Wii version again a few years back and it just felt so tedious and boring, but I'm really enjoying it on the Switch, so that's cool! And yeah, as much as I think I want a super realistic looking Zelda game, I know that The Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, and Breath of the Wild are all going to age so much nicer than any game that tries to look real. Twilight Princess doesn't look bad necessarily, but it certainly hasn't held up as well as The Wind Waker or Skyward Sword, because it tried to look more realistic.

Meltdown Tracker Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Just picked up Spiritfarer at 50% off for Switch. Apparently it's like Animal Crossing + platforming with a storyline/campaign, so that's cool. I just really enjoy indie games that get good feedback so I'm sure I'll dig it. Also trying to make my way through my backlog. Almost done THPS 1+2 - got about 90% done the first and 70% done the second. Also playing Divinity Original Sin 2 as a ranger and South Park: the Fractured but Whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russel Coight Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Knights of the Old Republic remake announced for PS5. fuck yes. Never played the original but have always wanted too since everybody says it’s the best Star Wars game story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't gone Sony since PS2 so the backlog will be insane. The thing that stood out most for me when playing it was the storyline, weight of your choices and quality of writing, and lots of extra explorable stuff that is worth checking out. One of the rare games I've played back-to-back to see both sides of the Force. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried about missing out on Elder Scrolls and Fallout but KOTOR reigns supreme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Value Boy Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 I've given up on getting a PS5 for now, think I might just get a Switch instead. I have a £700 company benefit I need to use by the end of 2021 so can get a Switch and a shitload of games for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Knights of the Old Republic still holds up in terms of fun and story, but it definitely feels dated now. I just replayed it a year or two ago and it was still great fun but it definitely shows its age, similarly to how something like the original Final Fantasy feels playing it today. It's clunky and ugly. I wonder how different the remake will be, if it will be an entirely different experience like FF7 Remake or the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes, or if it will just be a better looking more modernized version of essentially the exact same game, like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Either way, I can't wait for it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got pretty far when it was new but I never actually finished it. It's pretty fun! Maybe too much talking though. A lot of the game is just watching/listening to people talking to the screen like it's The Office. I like the lore and I'm definitely into it but actual gameplay wise it's not the greatest. I don't love western RPGs in general. JRPGs are where it's at. this was what I thought of KOTOR the last time I played it. Yeah, I still mostly agree with this. I was really into it for the story but gameplay wasn't the greatest. So I kind of hope it gets more of an overhaul than just good graphics.

I always liked Jedi Outcast better than Kotor. Especially the online multiplayer. Idk if anyone knows about Power Battles, but it was a full online mod for Jedi Outcast and Kotor that was the best online experience I think I've ever played. It was like halo online, but for star wars, but fully customizable and great team battle gameplay although difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Just finished A Way Out. Damn, that was the best co up game in a while I've played. It's narrative heavy but you really do get drawn in and it's a blast at much of of the action/camera trick sequences. It really felt more like a good movie you got to interact with. Ending got me.

Meltdown Tracker Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 My favourite Star Wars games are KOTOR, Battlefront 2 (older one), and Republic Commando. I haven’t played a lot of the other good ones like Galaxies, Fallen Order, Squadrons, the Force Awakens, or Emperor at War. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 Here's my rankings of ones I can remember enough of. Jedi Knight/Jedi Academy and Battlefront 2 were by far the most memorable and hours played. Power Battles is underrated, one of the best co-ops I've ever played. Ep. 3 was pretty solid actually, shadows of the empire was great for the old school games and didn't play enough KOTOR to fanboy out over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 Also the mod for Jedi Academy was called Movie Battles, not whatever I said earlier. Best online experience ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
