OT: That Arado is SWEET! Vostok 7

Shawn and the mods have shown disinterest in the idea of an OT forum... However, I think it's a good idea. Every forum I frequent other than MW has a dedicated strictly OT forum, and they have alot less problems because of it. I can understand why the mods and Shawn aren't interested in having an OT forum... If there are no mods who want to moderate something like that, I'd gladly volunteer to moderate an OT forum, and I know other people who probably would as well. Vostok 7

THAT IS SWEET!!!!!!! It looks soooo... Anime!!! I WANT IT!!!!!! Vostok 7

I must be weird... I like the lightsaber... But in JA there's much less of an emphasis on the lightsaber than in JO even, IMO. There's many times where it was better for me to whip out a conventional weapon than use the lightsaber. I just noticed playing tonight that there's some interesting finisher moves coming out of a saberlock if you win... In one, I thrust out one my two sabers straight into my opponent, killing him, and in the other I did a sweet scissor move with both sabers... It was pretty sweet!! All in all I think the saber mechanics and coreography (sp?) have been MUCH improved since JO. Vostok 7

Eeek! Run!! Vostok 7

We're safe for a few minuites... How come any thread that the four of us post in turns into this? Vostok 7

:lol: "Ahhh, I'm in the mood for a good star wars based FPS, but not a 'Jedi Simulator'... Whats this? Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast? Let's give it a try!" Vostok 7

I should start talking in third person too... <_< Vostok 7

Methinks Abombz needs glasses Vostok 7

I know what you mean... or maybe I just wish I did Vostok 7

That was about my reaction... Actually, I hate them more because they carry heavy repeaters and fly around... usually just out of reach of your lightsaber... An E11 takes care of them pretty quick though, on full auto mode. Vostok 7

I haven't seen Sonic X yet, but it seems closer to the original concept of the Sonic universe than the original ABC series used to be (I used to watch it religiously almost). Even more than the comics as well. Anyone remember that back then there was two different Sonic cartoons on TV? There was the more "kiddie" one on ABC and then there was another one that was on like TNT or something that was much more mature... Sonic X kinda reminds me of it. Vostok 7

Not sure. They're bigger, and definitely powered. Not smooth like the Darktroopers though, and manned. There's also Spacetroopers, but not in space lol. Vostok 7

mmm Kate Beckinsale in leather... Vostok 7

Hey! <_< Vostok 7

What do these eyes tell you. Vostok 7

well Vostok, you do seem to have a healthy attraction (or is it unhealthy? ) to Millia. Yeah... Millia was the only one I was 'Hey!'-ing to... Yeah... that's right... <_< :lol: j/k Vostok 7

You mean dressing as a french maid pirate in a flight suit isn't easy? Vostok 7

Hey! <_< Vostok 7

Yes, that's a considerable Jedi skill. Vostok 7

Yes, you can pick your own missions and they are based on how well you've progressed through the game, but I see it more as a good thing... You learn the game pretty fast. I've done pretty well for myself in the game and yet the missions aren't too difficult, and they've never been too easy. They've been just right to me. You could play the whole game with regular weapons... in fact, it MAKES you take regular weapons before starting a mission. The only time you really need a lightsaber is for taking down Jedi and other powerful things (like wampas and Rancors... yes, Rancors...) but there are times when your lightsaber is not the answer... there's a new class of stormtrooper in the game, like a huge power armor type thing (very cool) with a very powerful gun and if you rush him with the lightsaber, he'll just knock you aside and blow you away with his gun... the only way to easily defeat him is to shoot him with something. There's also these sheilded assasin bots which you can't get close enough to hit with the lightsaber since they have a sheild that'll kill you... either time your swipes inbetween the sheild or just hit them with the grenade function of the flechette rifle. It's difficult to take down the dark jedi with regular weaponry, but they've been made a heck of alot easier to hack away at with your lightsaber... 'specially with double sabers. Vostok 7

Yes and yes. With emphasis on the dorky part. Open-ended format on a SW game? What are you smoking!! Have not heard about that. Forgot the part about being JO without the story. Have you played it yet Ai? Thought not. <_< There are guns in JA, similar to JO but a few differences. No Bryar, you get a DL44 (same fire modes though), and there's a new upper level gun that's godlike. There's a few missions which put emphasis on using regular weapons rather than relying soley on your lightsaber. However, nothing beats the lightsaber of course. As far as killing the rebels... not sure, since your only interaction with "rebels" is in cutscenes. Mission structure... I haven't heard anything about an adaptive system. Missions are difficult, but not as difficult to being frustrating or boring like JO. They range from long to short, and are usually pretty action packed. They seem to ramp up on difficulty pretty smoothly to me anyway. And as far as being just like JO... I don't think so. You can get double sabers and the saber staff now, the lightsaber moves have been improved drastically and made much more realistic, and the missions are well laid out. There is a plot despite what SOME people say, and it gets stronger as the game progresses, even taking a few (albiet forseen) plot twists. All in all, I enjoy it. It was worth the $50 to me.

Supposedly there is one in the works from the company who did Freespace IIRC. I hit double sabers last night in JA... FUN!! Vostok 7
