I pity you all...

In the start you get to make your character. You choose some of his/her look, class, and then edit the stats and abilities he/she starts off with which greatly increases the replay value. I’ve also heard that depending on if you choose a male or female, some situations are slightly different and people’s reactions to your character are sometimes different which adds a cool new level and reason to play again. The light and dark element is neat, but I haven’t dound the full purpose of it yet (probably because I haven’t become a Jedi yet [you become a Jedi at some point in the game]). The universe is very much like Star Wars, such as there are pubs like the one in Episode 4. When talking with characters you constantly choose the direction of the conversation. Heck, if some towns person is pissing you off, kill him and move towards the dark side (not all all people, just certain ones, but it is a nice amount). Save the girl in the dungeon or kill her, you decide. Very fun indeed. Also, you aren’t really punished for going to the dark side so go for it if you feel like it (I’m trying to be good this time and will be bad next time). Fighting is real time and you choose when you want to battle. These are things that I find awesome. The story is pretty cool and develops the universe more, but I won’t say much about that as not too spoil it.

I though the game will come out for PC somewhere during fall.

KOTOR I mean.

Lunaris: It is, hence I have no idea wtf this whole thread is about…

It’s not like the GC has ANY good exclusives

I’ll assume that was sarcasm and move on.

Anyway, I also picked up KOTOR this past week. It’s very much worth it, if you already have a 'Box. If not, wait a while, and see if it goes PC or cross-platform (which, while it’s not supposed to, wouldn’t surprise me at all).

I have an Xbox, but unlucky for me…Rud == Pal thus I have to wait. I am Looking forward to it, although I’m not sure if i should get the Xbox version or if I should wait for the PC version, thus be able to get mods/updates/patches.

Sarcasm wasn’t used in that post Sat. But as Info said before, that’s my personal feeling.

Yea, its not an Xbox exclusive. It’s coming out for the PC.

The reason that I dont think the Xbox doesn’t do very well is that there aren’t a lot of exclusives, and those that are are just games you can play on other sytems.

KOTOR does look good, but Im pretty sure that its coming out on the PC. As such, Im not too terribly upset.

XBOX Live my friend, XBOX Live. Updates are already planned.

This I didn’t know since every time I’ve heard about the game it has always been about the XBOX version with no mention of a PC version. I’m mostly just saying how the strong hate for the system is making you miss out on some truely great games. Yeah, if money is a problem or issue, that’s fine, but there no reason to knock it just because you don’t like MS or something.

Yeh, the whole “OMG M$ R 3V0L. I R KEWL CUZ I R H8 M$” is bullshit.

<img src=“http://www.rpgclassics.com/staff/tenchimaru/td.gif”> As much as I dislike the X-box, yes, that MS thing is so stupid. You don’t like their products, don’t buy them. Sheesh.

If it is good, it’s only a moment till the studio and Microsoft ports it to earn more money. Or someone ports it, anyway. How hard can it be when both a pc and a X-Box runs on the same hardware and software ( Unless it runs on Linux ).

I never liked Star Wars anyway. mutter, mutter

Seriously. I picked the console I did ( GameCube) because it was the only one that had games that interested me. And till day the two others only have about one game each that does.

Hell naw. Mechwarrior, any game, pales to the genius that is Armored Core.

But most Xbox games don’t appeal to me, so instead of insulting everyone and “pitying” us, why don’t you just inform us on how the game kicks mucho ass and stop being a snob.

Oh, and that goes for the GC whores as well.

I’m not insulting you guys, I’m just saying that there is a lot of unjustified hate towards the XBOX. Also, I pity you because you are missing out on such a great game because of that hate. Besides, I’m not being a snob about it.

I dont think anyone hates the Xbox really, they just dont like it because it doesn’t have any games they want to play.

Which is my case.

It’s being released for PC in November. I think I can wait two months instead of paying for an Xbox.

I’ve been playing Knights of the Old Republic, it’s a great game at the start, but I just noticed it started to get really easy near the end. Great game though.

erm, i doubt anyone will see this post since it’s way in the back…but why do you have a microsoft console if you are a open source/linux guy?

Fair enough.

Because the XBOX is a good console with fun games. I had a hard time pulling mself to do so, but then there became too many games I wanted to play.
