I remember getting Gold Medals on every mission in Rogue Leader when I was 11 years old. It was the most difficult and thus greatest accomplishment of my life. That of course left just the Endurance mission and well, gently caress that.

Rogue Squadron seems such a weird game to play using a joystick. Too arcadey to need one.

Rebel Assault 2 was my first Star Wars game with dog-fighting in it (sort of), and is the very reason I love B-Wing so goddamn much. But the tunnel level in the not-Millennium Falcon was horseshit. Also, I have never actually beaten the 2nd Death Star run in Rogue Squadron 2

Someone should do an INFINITIES story where Qui-Gon lives and Obi-Wan dies against Maul. It would change ALL of the movies, and would definitely make the prequels more interesting.

Oh man oh man oh man I NEED to show you all this fanfic of truly epic proportions: Riding the Wheel of If  So, Obi-Wan is distraught over Qui-Gonn's death because he never got to tell Qui-Gonn he loved him, when he accidentally makes a lightsaber that sends him to a parallel universe whenever it's switched on. Each universe is different - sometimes radically so - from the one he started out in, but the one constant is that each universe's Obi-Wan loves Qui-Gonn and vice versa. Obi-Wan hops through various universes and has adventures, all the while seeking a Qui-Gonn grieving the loss of his Obi-Wan. There is also lots and lots of gay sex. It's ridiculous and brain-breaking and amazing, and I encourage you all to see just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Pththya-lyi fucked around with this message at 07:57 on Sep 9, 2010 |

Welp finally dragged my rear end to play through god drat motherfucking TFU and I have a couple things to say: 1) Playing this game on PC with a mouse sucks balls. It's a lovely console port and it reeks of it. I also have a 360 controller that I used for some 2D fighters a while ago so I changed to that sucker and it was a lot better. 2) This fuckin game is pure heresy. 3) It's dumb 4) What kind of name is Starkiller? (RHETORICAL QUESTION) 5) Quicktime events. 6) This game is literally the worst. It's like everything wrong with AAA SuP0R BLoCKbuStER CONSOLE GAME and then on top of that you add a nice hefty dose of loving Star Wars in the rear end and horrible mauling of a Carrie Fisher voice. I mean, the Leia voice is so freaking wrong it's not even funny. I have an ex girlfriend who sounds just like her so maybe they should have hired her, or I don't know, maybe a voice actor and not a homeless woman. ( ?? ) Worst game. Worse two evenings ever. gently caress YOU GEORGE. OH YEA it's buggy as gently caress the sounds would cut out every other level I have a pretty rad stable rig and I never have problems with anything ever. God damnit. I miss KOTOR and don't mention KOTOR2 because  e: crowetron i love your avatar/title combo i just wanted to throw that out there man e2: starkiller holds his lightsaber like ahsoka which owns because that's the best way to hold a saber but but gently caress starkiller.

Smythe posted:4) What kind of name is Starkiller? (RHETORICAL QUESTION) Just in case:  It's the last name George Lucas originally wanted to give the protagonist of "The Star Wars" - I think it was "Kane Starkiller" or "Annikin Starkiller". But even "Luke Starkiller" made it pretty far into the later drafts until he had a change of heart. So it's not like they just pulled that name out of their asses. It's still a stupid name, though.

The game was fun for about an hour of dicking around and killing things in neat ways I guess. It did pretty much blow and was a huge waste of 60 dollars when I bought it on 360. You're being wayyyyyyyy too loving edgy right now, though. Chill the gently caress out. Also, the quoted part? Leia was played by Cat Taber, who voiced Mission Vao and is one of the best voice actresses out there right now. Lack of decent direction and lines, as well as poor casting, does not make a lovely voice actress.

Smythe posted:Complaints about Force Unleashed You numerous complaintsskipped over "Lightsaber does not 1-hit kill" and "Enemies can stunlock you to death with ease." That is what really impressed me about the game. Takes 5 seconds to realize the game is poo poo, then another hour to get stunlocked to death and quit.

If you can avoid giving yourself an aneurysm bitching about what TFU does to canon, it's actually a pretty fun game.

Smythe posted:e2: starkiller holds his lightsaber like ahsoka which owns because that's the best way to hold a saber but but gently caress starkiller. Ahem... Not played TFU, so can't comment on the gameplay. Seen a mixed set of reviews, so perhaps its all down to personal taste. The story is pretty loving stupid though. I really hate how the EU keeps inventing Jedi who survived Order 66. Back in 1977 two survived, and that was loving awesome. It was tragic, it made the Sith seem really powerful and it made them truly the plucky underdogs. Now there's close to, if not over, 100 survivors it just makes Vader and the Emperor seem incompetent. I think it should have been done as an INFINITIES, but not with Starkiller. It should have been 'what if Anakin had defeated Obi-wan and kept the children?'

TFU was fun, if only because force throwing things is a fantastic game mechanic. I would play a game based entirely around force throwing things and have a blast. If the canon thing really bothers you, just ignore its existence. It's really not that hard.wookiepedia posted:Graneet later fired the superlaser against the planet of Despayre. The destruction of Despayre took three shots to complete over the course of several hours. The first shot killed every living thing on the planet and cooked the surface of the planet. The second caused further tectonic stress to the planet, and the third shot finally blew the planet apart. Honestly, this is probably the worst part of bad sci-fi. Just name the planet "Despair" and give it a backstory as a prison planet or something. Changing one letter of a common word does not make the new word sci-fi and awesome, it makes it obnoxious. It's not like poetry you fucks!

To be fair, if someone wiped out an entire group of people that numbered in the millions to only 100 left on our own planet, that would be seen as pretty "powerful" and despicable. They wouldn't be considered incompetent. Now multiply that by dozens if not hundreds of planets all over an entire galaxy and they did a pretty good job at what they planned on doing. It does cheapen the "there are only a handful of us left" feel of the original trilogy a lot, but if you look at it from a real-world standpoint, it makes sense that they wouldn't have been able to find everyone but two people.

I wonder what the retirement package was for that position. Would it be a new Empire Social Security number, fake identity and a guarantee that they wouldn't blow up whatever world he retired to? I mean it would suck dick to be "that guy who blew up alderaan" in retirement.

As for TFU gently caress the haters the game its self is just fun. Don't even think of it as cannon if it bothers you that much, just a neat little what if type of story. Though why Lucus did ok it as G cannon is just odd.

Bad thread. Stop saying nice things about TFU. If Lucasarts hears they might make a third one. EDIT: Yea fun gameplay. Let me point my whole body at the object to select it for force rape. Why would that be awkward?

I can't find any links about the interview its self but you can problem dig it up on Xbox live . The Wiki does state the "light side" ending is canon.

I think the worst thing about TFU, not even considering the plot, is how easy it is to get stunlocked into loving oblivion by basically any enemy. I mean, Darth Vader can trap you in a never-ending Force Grip. You can QTE out of it, but he immediately grabs you again as soon as you break free. The only way out is letting him hurl you into a wall. That's bullshit.

I didn't have any issue with this at all. My biggest problem was that I paid an assload of money for a game that I beat in 4 hours. And an hour of that was trying to make the goddamn Star Destroyer crash because the things it told you to do on screen weren't loving correct. If they want to charge 50-60 dollars for a game, it shouldn't be something that lasts you the length of a long movie, which are like 15 bucks to enjoy. Modern Warfare 2 was the same way.
