Lodium: I own all the Games in this List already except
Star Wars™: Rebel Assault 1 + 2 wich im a bit on the fence about.
Anyone that have played it before , that can tell a bit more about it?
The first is so so. It's best played with a joystick however the calibration targeting is always off. A little too hard as well. The sequel though is very impressive and best played with a mouse. Great fun and much easier to play.

toxicTom: Well, he got old. Someone could do the Thrawn trilogy. I'd nominate Joss Whedon. He's good with female protagonists and Mara Jade seems right up his alley.
That won't happen as Carrie Fisher passed away and Disney is intent on pushing its own twisted version of the EU.

I would be interested to see some of Limited Run console Star Wars games come to Steam and GOG.

Loger13: I have not forgotten. DF2 (+MotS) has a great story and great live cutscenes, but in terms of gameplay, Jedi Outcast is definitely better.
DF2 had excellent gameplay at the time of its release, but at the time of the release of JO, the gameplay in JO was sooo better and gameplay of DF2 is outdated.
And since the advice is obviously focused on those who have not played the series before, the value of DF2 is only in the plot and videos. In terms of "Jedi simulator" the JK cannot offer anything in excess of JK2 (I repeat, this does not apply to history, it concerns "simulation" part).

BigBobsBeepers: I respectfully disagree and say that the gameplay(beyond a certain level) is a jedi simulator and the game itself is quite fun even with it's age.
You can do whatever you want, but saber fighting in JO/JA is better, and using the Force is also better. So JO/JA is definitely better as Jedi simulator.
Yeah, DF2 itself is quite fun and very good game, but it is not "best "Jedi simulators" ever". Since JO release.

BigBobsBeepers: And outdated?
Exactly. Outdated. Since 2001.

avatar
BigBobsBeepers: Do you not know where we are?
Do you understand what we are talking about?

avatar
BigBobsBeepers: I agree that Outcast is easier on the eyes in some respects and it's mechanics though.
I don't care about graphics. JO/JA is better as Jedi Simulator not because of graphics but because of better jedi simulation.

Personal taste and all that, but I find "timing test gzmes" like these two to be entirely unenjoyable. RA2, at least, has an original story which is enjoyable... RA1 is basically parallel to the first film.

Each has pre-rendered scenes playing... and you have to twitch at just the right times to keep your ship in the "pipeline," or shoot the hostiles, etc. You have no REAL control at all.

I picked these up AFTER Dark Forces and X-Wing. Which is why I didn't really enjoy them. Those games are orders of magnitude more enjoyable than these, AFAIC.

I never said it was the best jedi simulator. I said that i felt it was one, but not necessarily the best.

And no, I find it is not that outdated on a game site catering first off to lovers of older games, hence the question about not knowing where we are.

And you mention graphics not being a factor yet the main thing that changed between DF2 and Outcast is mainly better graphics and mechanics. Both games had force power use, lightsabers, and what have you.

But I SAID JO+JA is best jedi simulators, and YOU said that I forgot Dark Forces 2. If you are not trying to say that "DF2 is also the best Jedi simulator", then what are you arguing with?

It doesn’t matter which site we are on. The obsolescence of the game does not depend on which site it is discussed on, do you understand this? Hence the question of understanding what we are talking about. Obviously you do not understand.

BigBobsBeepers: And you mention graphics not being a factor yet the main thing that changed between DF2 and Outcast is mainly better graphics and mechanics.
Mechanics is a key word. The main difference is not in the graphics, but in the improved gameplay - the significantly improved fencing system, and the improved use of the Force. Actually mechanics - this is the main thing in any simulator. The better it simulating, the better it is as a simulator. And it was precisely the improved gameplay that made JO and JA the best Jedi simulators.

BigBobsBeepers: Both games had force power use, lightsabers, and what have you.
I hasten to upset you: having a lightsabers and the Force use in a game is not enough to make the game the best Jedi simulator. Even just a Jedi simulator is not enough. And with your approach, Star Wars Empire at War is a Jedi simulator, because it have lightsabers and Force. Well, here: actually this is not enough.
You need to determine the criteria.

I saidf you forgot DF2 because it is also a jedi simulator, just not the best. That is all.

I think it does. Look how many buy games that are over a decade or more old here. Here it does not matter as much if a game is outdated or not.

I think DF2 also did it right, despite the clunkiness, and also simulated the basic aspects of jedi and sith quite nicely. That is force power usage, lightsaber usage, and such.

I never said it was the best jedi simulator. Just that it was A jedi simulator from my pov.

BeatriceElysia: Real question is, why's Luke spelled Look?
avatar
BreOl72: If you think that's strange, have a look at the store's frontpage set to German.

There they replaced "Luke" with "nun"...which is German for "now".

At least with "Look" instead of "Luke", I can see the pun...bad as it is...but "nun/now"? That doesn't make any sense.
Maybe because in the original quote, Vader doesn't say "Luke", but "No" - "Nein" in German, which is similar to "nun".

Assuming that the German front page gets maintained by some German employee of GOG, that guy should know the difference between "no" and "now", or "nein" and "nun".

But it's wrong in English as well, so could be intentional. Maybe licensing reasons?

They most probably have the rights to sell the game and use whatever art they are given or approved to use in the banners, but using copyrighted phrases and other things might be a no go.
