STAR WARS™ Knights of the Old Republic™

Absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ worth it, wonderful story telling, lore building, character writing even most of the music was really solid. Again, the gameplay sucked, I'm upset that on Normal difficulty it only took 30ish hours to complete (mostly because I was accustomed to the gameplay beforehand because of Kotor2) but that doesn't change the fact that I truly dug this game in all of it's flaws and perfections. If you have the patience to play an older game (which is a detriment to modern age gamers like myself) you should absolutely give this a real shot. The real issue is that modern gaming ruins how you try to play an older game like this. Most games these days hold your hand a bit, but this game really expects you to be retaining certain information or read between the lines, which my old ass hasn't done in years (didn't play this back in the day) so this kind of tested me a bit. The puzzles (specifically two) can be rather challenging, purely on the basis that you again, are so familiar with modern games that going backwards in how you are used to playing these games will hinder you. I am not totally sure how to convey this but I assure you that once again, this game is absolutely worth it. Please do give this a shot, coming from someone who doesn't even like Star Wars. Gonna go back and play Kotor 2 now because I loved this experience so much. Which again, played this in the wrong order and didn't ever play them back when they came out. 31 years old btw, dunno if that accounts for anything but hopefully that gives some clarifying context. ====== Everything below this was made at about 8.7 hours in according to Steam ====== Played KOTOR2 before I played KOTOR, and only did it a few years ago; not way back in the day. What a huge missed opportunity for my childhood. I thoroughly enjoyed KOTOR2 when I played it and figured that had to be the upgraded version of this game, not realizing the writing is just as strong in this game. The gameplay is kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥, I won't lie but everything else in this game infinitely makes up for the weird combat and what not. It is certainly dated but absolutely worth your time. I don't even like Star Wars but I adore Bioware (from back in the day) and this is definitely when they were hitting their stride and just making banger after banger after MF banger. If you wanna see the ground floor for Bioware right as they started their hotstreak with Jade Empire, Mass Effect and Dragon Age: You absolutely should check this out. Can't believe I got this for less than $3 on sale.

One of the best RPGS out there, best experienced blind and with a bugfix mod which you can find on Neocities. 10/10 would spam force lightning again. Also a great game if you're on a complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ potato pc, look at my specs if you don't believe me, ♥♥♥♥'s tragic.

WE'RE FINALLY GETTING A THIRD! Been playing KOTOR 1&2 since they come out and am still playing. That's how good they are.

An amazing game makes me remember playing it on the original Xbox still don't understand the combat mechanics and there's also a weird glitch where you can't move your character after you attack.

One of the best star wars stories and rpg ever made. The most iconic of biowares masterpieces, before the dark times....

Ich habe nur gutes gehört und wollte es ausprobieren. war ein eindeutiger Fehler. Die Story ist ganz gut, aber man bekommt davon nichts mit, da man 90 Prozent der Zeit damit verschwendet im Schrittempo rumzulatschen. Das Kampfsystem war bestimmt gut als es rauskam, aber ist absolut nicht angemessen für heutige Standards.

If you play this game, know that you're not just playing the best Star Wars game ever developed, you are also playing one of the best games ever made. It's a roleplaying game that still, to this day, offers countless choices to dealing with enemies, obstacles and quests, all in very different, creative and fun manners to do each of the former. It is however, important to know that this is an old game, as such, it requires support from the community to mod properly and play it with higher resolutions and proper graphics. Nothing overly complicated but something you should keep in mind.

Needs an update for modern machines. Do not buy unless you want to hassle downloading hacks to make it playable.
