Matt Young Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 Some people got it yesterday, but still, far from "a while." I'd like to hear opinions on it from people here who get the game.
Guest Vitamin X Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 Oh, my mistake. I was under the impression that they'd be getting it in January. I like that they delayed it a bit to work out any possible bugs.. Bioware was probably swamped with complaints on KOTOR II.
Guest MikeSC Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 Some people got it yesterday, but still, far from "a while." I'd like to hear opinions on it from people here who get the game. Cool game, but combat seems a bit wonky. Oh, my mistake. I was under the impression that they'd be getting it in January. I like that they delayed it a bit to work out any possible bugs.. Bioware was probably swamped with complaints on KOTOR II. Bioware didn't make KOTOR II. -=Mike
Anya Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 I'm playing it now. It seems cool, but combat feels really jerky and choppy. So much so I'm wondering if it's my Xbox messing up.

Matt Young Posted April 15, 2005 Report Posted April 15, 2005 The reason Bioware passed on developing KOTOR II was because they wanted to dedicate themselves to the Jade Empire project. The new developer (I know the name, but can't think of it for some reason) did use the same engine and was helepd a lot in the beginning by Bioware. I think that the reason KOTOR II is so buggy (from what I hear; I haven't played it) is because they rushed it out several months early for the Christmas season.
Anya Posted April 15, 2005 Report Posted April 15, 2005 I thought KOTOR II was great until the very end when it just completely fell apart. You can tell it was rushed since there's files floating around on the net of cutscenes that got cut from the game.
Matt Young Posted April 15, 2005 Report Posted April 15, 2005 To be fair, though, a lot of stuff was cut from the first game according to a dveloper interview in an issue of EGM from the time. I'd have to check on the exact month and issue number.
Modern Man's Hustle Posted April 15, 2005 Report Posted April 15, 2005 The story was written by a different team of writers, too, which helps explain why it starts to fall apart after a bit. Instead of working on KOTORII, Bioware went to work on Jade Empire, which is what KOTORII should have been.
Black Lushus Posted April 18, 2005 Author Report Posted April 18, 2005 Do you need XBox live to DL updated rosters, patches, content, etc. or is XBox live just for playing against other people? Oh and on Fable it says something about "XBox Live Aware"....what exactly is that?
The Ghost of bps21 Posted April 18, 2005 Report Posted April 18, 2005 You do need XBox live to download updates and new content. Live Aware just means that other people can see whatever game your playing and send you invites to other games.
Guest Vitamin X Posted April 18, 2005 Report Posted April 18, 2005 There's also this program that Flyboy is all jazzed about that you can download rosters from, althogh I'm not entirely sure how it works or what it's called.
DMann2003 Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 *Bump* Happened to get my own Xbox for the first time too, I've got World Series of Poker, Simpsons- Hit and Run, Spiderman 2, Fable, and X-men Legends for it so far.
Guest MikeSC Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 Hate Poker, but the rest are extremely solid titles. Also look into "Metal Arms" and "Project Snowblind". Should be cheap and you can't go wrong with either.
DMann2003 Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Picked up Tom Clancy Classic Trilogy and ESPN MLB 2K5 for 19.82 each at Wal-mart, also have seen James Bond- Everything or Nothing for 10 bucks at Meijer, might get it.
Black Lushus Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Posted October 3, 2005 *Bump* Happened to get my own Xbox for the first time too, I've got World Series of Poker, Simpsons- Hit and Run, Spiderman 2, Fable, and X-men Legends for it so far. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Spiderman and XMen are good buys...I tell you what though, I liked the concept of Fable, but, like most critics out there have already said, it kinda left a sour taste in my mouth...it was too short and wasn't as vast option-wise as it probably should have been...
Red Baron Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 If into racing games, get Forza Motorsport. I'd thought I'd never see another racing game be better than PGR 2.
Sandman9000 Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 WSOP blows. If you need to get a poker game, get Stacked when it comes out. Better AI, from what I've read. Or you could just download one of the billion poker apps out there and just play for free, if you wish. AI is kinda lousy though, since people are stupid.
Guest MikeSC Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Hell, since I already have my XBox 360 (and a shitload of other stuff) already purchased, I can't justify buying another XBox title. The game saves don't transfer, God only knows what games will be compatible, and since MS has already abandoned all first-party support, the 3rd party plans will be shelved before next year is out.
Red Baron Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 Hell, Forza owns GT. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So we have finallly agreed on something.
