STAR WARS™: Knights of the Old Republic

I have to say that I'm a fan of Mass Effect games and just right now I have started to play KOTOR and feel so good to play it! the characters so far I love them, Is not hard to play being played ME 1 before and even if the graphics looks aged the gameplay and story make up for it. I'm excited to finish the game and start playing the KOTOR 2 to be able to experience more of this.

Bioware knows one thing very well - how to make excellent adventure games with choices and consequences and NPCs who join you and feel like they're just as much the main character as you are! So much flesh and live is given to the characters and the story - and the fact that this is all a part of the Star Wars lore only adds to how wonderful this game is!

Bioware stands for great RPGs. KOTOR is no exception. I heard a lot of praise back when KOTOR was originally published. But SW was not my cup of tea - I'm a Trekkie to the bone. So it wasn't until some sale...lol… December 2016, that i bought it here on GoG. It was waiting in a long cue of games to play. And that day has come a month ago. Why did I wait so long to play it is beyond me. I'm quite happy with the game. The game is full of funny character interractions, both with NCPs and team members. Similarly to BGs there are a few ways to progress through a given situation, be it diplomacy, brute force, subterfuge or force mind control. Some actions have their consequences and repercussions. Although it is based on SW canon, the game still tells a story quite convingly. You might as well turn away from canon and choose to go dark side once more. Graphic esthetics is very reminiscent of what Gearoge Lucas showed in his movies. It gives the game a sense of cohesion with SW universe. On today’s computers with a maximum settings graphics is fine. Same for music. Although there aren't many musical motives they all feel star-wars-like.No qualms there. The game works fine under Win 7 and Win X. I didn't nail my character to be perfect the first time. So 'm in the middle of my second walkthrough. I'm doing some things differently this time. It's a good thing the game does not punish you too severly if you mess your character's development. It's a lot harder to beat the final boss with a weak character, but if you're clever enough, you can beat Malak without the Force, with brute strenght of explosives (you have to time it right, though). My two titular buts: 1) why isn't it possible to go back to Yavin or any other shot after visiting rakata homeworld - this was possible in BG until the final battle. 2) the game is too short compared to BG. I think there was room for more. Still, a very good RPG. I recommend it. Live long and may the Force be with you.

I want to give it a good review but since its unplayable on newer PC's I just cant I wish I never bought it and wasted my money on it. Not sure what its called but when i hit play on the game it moves anything else i have open even gog to my second screen even if i do not have my 2nd screen on and then the game says its still running but will not open when i tried to leave the endar spire o had to open task manager just to close the game because it would not do anything.

I have played my share of Star Wars games over the years, and my first ever played was made for the SNES (Super Star Wars, etc etc), and KOTOR was my first pc rpg that I ever played. I have to say without a doubt that this game was amazing. I had never had so much fun having the choice to go dark side or light side. I love games that have a good story to them, and get you invested in what you say and do to progress the story. This is one of those games, like people have said, just like the Mass Effect series, that can do that. I will also say that I loved KOTOR 2, even though it was not made by the same people as KOTOR. This one however started it all, and one game I will replay again and again with no other reason than because I thoroughly enjoy it. If you have any fear about whether you should buy this game, fear not. It is worth every single penny in my opinion and you will have hours and hours of fun. May the force be with you.
