There are lots of Very Bad Things about the reverse grip for anything but short single-edged blades used in extreme close quarters combat. The lightsaber is LONG and ALL EDGE. edit: Basically what I'm trying to say is that looking "cool" is no excuse when used over anything that is actually rear end-blindingly obviously stupid/bad/retarded/etc. And really, this is one of the core complaints against the entire PT.

I downloaded the TFU demo and right at the beginning I accidentally threw my lightsaber and chopped the head off of an R2 unit. It shrieked. Killed my enthusiasm along with that poor little droid.

Then walk away from the explosion in slow-mo

TheLoquid posted: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. I did play a game about force throwing things around and having a blast. It was called The Force Unleashed and it was fun as gently caress. If you don't play it using only force push or force grab, you're playing it wrong.

NGL posted:Yeah, but the wiki says that for pretty much every game (e.g. KOTOR, Jedi Knight, etc.) Light side ending is canon in TFU's case because the alternative contradicts the movies: Starkiller kills Vader, goes on to become Palpatine's private assassin and fights Boba Fett, Obi-Wan, Obi-wan's GHOST, and Luke. Anyway, TFU's canonicity doesn't bug me just because how disconnected from everything else it feels. I doubt it will ever be mentioned much outside of TFU-related materials and wiki's/encyclopedias. It's pretty easy to ignore it entirely and just enjoy it as a dumb, over-the-top action game set in the Star Wars universe.

Imagine if the KotOR I ending had been DS, then KotOR II could have been tearing down game 1. Same with Dark Forces (the one where the DS leaves Emperor Katarn on the throne).

At the conclusion of the fight, Starkiller does a Force-Hammertoss and hurls Obi-Wan into the Falcon's engines. Obi-Wan EXPLODES (Like, a literal FORCE GHOST-SPLOSION) and comes back as a Force Ghost to keep fighting. And then you kill his ghost.

Yea its the Dark Side ending. Vader sends you off to track down luke, you kill Boba Fet, Kill Obi and Obis ghost and then totally beat the ever living poo poo out of luke as in grabbing the hilt of his light saber and smashing his face in and making him your sith apprentice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmMzq-xmPqw Not Canon of course but still fun.

I pretty much hated TFU because it was a lovely PC port and had the most frustrating boss battles. I refuse to believe that the final duel with Vader can be won with anything other than blind luck. Refuse. Despite all this I did find the battle system enjoyable when I was allowed to just Force throw poo poo all over the place and not have to deal with any of the annoying melee mechanics. And the Tatooine and Hoth levels were 10x more enjoyable than the actual game. I was great playing Darth Vader on crack

At the beginning of KotOR II there's a conversation where you basically tell the game how KotOR ended. That one guy (name escapes me) says something like "She whooped that rear end and rode off into the sunset a hero." Then you can agree or respond variations of the PC's alignment and gender like "I heard HE was A SITH" and he says "Whoops, my bad, thought a chick sounded cooler!" The dark side ending of Jedi Knight was loving awesome. I was pretty disappointed with TFU's dark side ending. I haven't played the DLC, but it sounds awesome. They know the dark side stuff isn't canon so why not go crazy. I don't see why they bothered making any of TFU canon, the nerds who give a poo poo about canon are pissed off by it and nobody else would care one way or the other. I can't see Starkiller ever showing up in any other works. Beyond "really strong, like you wouldn't even believe how strong he is" force user and chump pawn does he even have a character?

I don't remember there being anything to throw at him in the Death Star throne room. All I remember was that there were only a couple of counters (getting around him when he's charging up to hit him, countering his saber attacks) and he recovered so drat quickly and the PC controls were so awkward and the camera angles so terrible that all I ended up doing was putting myself into a situation to get my rear end kicked. The lovely, fixed camera angles coupled with the terrible PC controls really did make boss battles impossible to enjoy. WhyteRyce fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Sep 10, 2010 |

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that you fight and kill a ghost. That's probably topping the things I have a hard time believing they actually put in TFU.

Yoda and Starkiller both appear on the 360 version of Soul Calibur 4. Yoda is a selectable fighter and Starkiller is a boss. TFU was goofy fun. Do I consider it canon? No, but I ignore almost everything in the EU, it's too loving stupid. Zahn and Stackpole are good, I haven't read any of the Allston books yet.

I have such a huge, girlish crush on him, it's so dumb. Also, establishing that Revan was a Light Sider means that Carth Onasi shows up and tries to track you down, but picking a Dark-Side Revan means you get one of Darth Malak's old mooks looking for you instead. This makes precious little difference to the main narrative. Clemen posted:Do they ever explain why humans are so numerous in the galaxy? Like a home world or did they colonize the galaxy long ago?

They're numerous because 1) they like to explore and settle in different places and 2) they gently caress like bunnies.

Aside from Chewie, when is the last time we see any aliens in "A New Hope"? It's when they leave Tattooine, isn't it? At least "Empire Strikes Back" had Yoda as a sort of important character, but by the climax it's back to just being humans + Chewie with no lines. In "Return of the Jedi", after Jabba's scenes, we have Ewoks, Admiral Ackbar, and that gibbering guy who flew with Lando. It's still humans who do all the important stuff except for the Ewok's successful ground war. Why were they even included?

Well, from the film-making point of view, aliens were hard to include in the 70's. They were already pushing boundaries of model-building, computer graphics, and set design. I doubt their budget could handle making hundreds of alien costumes. Yup, Hollywood sure is xenophobic. e: This might also explain why Lucas keeps going back to screw with the special editions. He might have wanted all those aliens in the movie, but couldn't fit them into the budget. Thus, Star Wars: Dewback Edition. zeekner fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Sep 10, 2010 |

My first playthrough midway through the first level one of the rebels got stuck after I broke the window and it autosealed to cut off the vacuum. The top half was inside the ship, this caused his ragdoll to freak out rather well. Arms were out as if trying to grab something and moving around, along with the head and a bit of the torso.
