Ah Jedi Outcast! Good game!
I really should go back and finish Jedi Outcast.
I’m waiting for Aspyr to remaster Jedi Knight - Dark Forces 2.
Kotor was life.
omgeeeee, this game was the best!!
Exultation: Correct, Master! My memory cores whirr with satisfaction at your impeccable assessment.
I’m actually playing Shadows of the Empire on PC for the first time, am on the first Coruscant level (sewers). I think the worst the game had is behind me (Gall Spaceport and Beggar’s Canyon).
Ohhh no I never liked the sewers level. 😬 So much terror with the noises and the tentacles and the murky “water.”
The train level was awesome though, and the soundtrack they picked was PERFECT.
Just did a run through Freelancer.
Might hop on the Dosbox and fire up EGA Trek later.
Everytime I fire up Freelancer I love love love it. It’s an incredibly good game. Pity that Crossfire is such a monstrous increase in difficulty from the get-go, I am still stuck on the first missions because I keep giving up.
Have you ever played its prequel, Starlancer?
Oh - that was the prequel? No, as a matter of fact, I have not. Does it run as well on wine as Freelancer?
Not sure. It’s pretty obscure, I think I was able to get it to run on my old Windows Vista laptop. No such luck in the Win 7 era though.
I’ll take that as a “yes, likely it’ll work fine on wine” g Try wine yourself, it usually runs old games better than Microslop :)
Joke’s on you. I replayed Outcast and Academy just last month with the Team Beef VR mod.
Gah, I need to do that one still- it got updated to work with PCVR as well, right? I am curious how it works with the saber dismemberment set to max, so touching anything is an instakill. Playthroughs with that were so tense in the last few missions
I played Outcast like that, and it makes lightsaber battles a cakewalk when you have perfect control of the motions. A “reality ensued” moment for sure. For Academy I switched to “beef recommended” settings, and yeah, that was much better balanced.
I’ve actually been playing old games I never got to play back in the day, like Arma 2, og OFP, and Star Wars Galaxies. Also got into Guild Wars 1/reforged. It’s a shame young me threw a fit over the no shared open world, because it is one of the best games and best communities I’ve ever encountered.
Ohh OFP Dragon Rising is great too if you get around to it. Red River is rubbish though
speak for yourself, finished BGI, playing BGII
I’m currently playing all of the Ratchet & Clank games in rpcs3, upscaled to 4k resolution. They look and play great! 😍
After that, it’s gonna be time for the Jak & Daxter series in the OpenGoal engine.
Fuck off, new game, I’m gonna play Advent Rising again.
I fucking love Advent Rising, when I can get it to run properly.
Damn, Jedi Outcast used to be my favorite game for a looooong time. I remember so many online sessions and LAN parties with one on one lightsaber duels.
We’d always bow at the beginning of a duel. So many awesome memories, what a game.
It’s where I learned that “XD” was a smiley-laughing face. Ah, to be a young preteen having his first introductions to certain internet slangs
I also enjoyed doing that trick where if you strafed right at the right time after the saber was coming back to you, it’d keep circling you.
Hellll yeah, such a great community. Very few games come close to the experience I had with it
So much for a blue milk run
When they announced new star wars like 10 years ago I really hoped for a Kyle Katarn story. Seeing what they’ve done though I’m glad they left him alone
Unless Tony Gilroy is the showrunner
Plotwise, Andor kinda replaced Katarn though
Vibewise Kanan Jarrus from Rebels kinda replaced the jedi side of Katarn.
If I’m not mistaken, Rogue One also did. Kyle Katern was the one who got the death star plans I believe, which Rogue One retconned
This guy used to have the broccoli cut
Oh and he was live action
He’s not amused
That was just the standard attractive white male actor in the 90s. Even Pierce Brosnan had that cut when he was James Bond.
Also, I think the sides are a little too long and the top not nearly curly enough to be considered a broccoli cut, but I’m also quite blind to these sorts of fashion trends so maybe I’m wrong.
No you’re right. I thought Brosnan’s was shorter but maybe Jonathan Frakes would count as this too.
I retract my statement
