Today’s game is Knights of the Old Republic. I played this like back in 2018 when it was on Game Pass and made it to the academy. Unfortunately I believe it was pulled from Game Pass (one of the reasons I never went back to it and one of the many reasons I avoid game pass now). Because of that I never got a chance to finish it. Fast forward about last year and I bought a copy. Now fast forward to now and I’ve really been wanting to play an RPG. I’m not sure if that will scratch that itch but this seemed the most appealing to me so it’s what I went with.
My guy is named Riblet. There’s not any particular reason behind that, I just looked at him and thought “yeah. He kind of looks like a Riblet.” So that’s what I named him. I made him a soldier. I remember on my last save I went with Scoundrel because I thought they were cool but I also really struggled in combat. So hopefully here I should do a little bit better.
The combat is fun. I like the concept though I do feel like it’s a lot of “stand there and trade shots until one party wins”. Not bad but definitely nothing amazing.
Admittedly after crashing on the planet I didn’t do a whole lot. I spent most the time trying to figure out how to get down to the undercity. I wandered into a bar, watched an arena match, wandered out, fought off some debt collectors, then wandered over to an elevator where I got yelled at followed by me trying to enter a military base. So far a lot of wandering around blind. It’s been a lot more fun than I was expecting. Hopefully next time I play though I’ll actually be able to find my way underground.
Is it bad i recognised the game just from the ceiling while the image loaded dialup style, before even noticing the status bar?
I recognized it as well before seeing the HUD. But that doesn't answer your question if this is bad.
Me too and it's probably 15 years+ since i played it. It was just subconscious "kotor" appeared in my head and several seconds i caught up and agreed 🤣
We're good at pattern recognition. That can't be bad
