Hell, I don't have time for either...

I quit LOTRO a while ago to save cash and due to lack of time. And between my fiance and trying to get our lives started, my friends have taken a back seat for the time being...

Oh well, my buddies and I are all waiting for Halo 3 anyways. Hopefully, I'll be moved into my new place by then.

I finally got around to playing kotor. I think about 3 years late, but it is still a great game. It is the best rpg I've ever played.

oh yea. the combat system is not spectacular (expect for those brillant moments when you have a guy in whirlwind and you are hurling lightning at him), it is the actual RP elements and conversations that set it apart. Its not quite as open as it could be, but it feels like you can do anything.

I just beat the game recently for the first time. I enjoyed it. I plan to play the second one soon, even though I heard it wasn't as great. But yeah, I enjoyed doing all the little quests in KOTOR, and the freedom of making different decisions. I think SWG should be modled after that freedom of choices in quests.

Nice to see i'm not the only one who just got around to playing this game. It was a great game in my opinion. Tried the second game but didn't know that it had pretty much nothing to do with Revan so I stopped playing after like 1 hour. Was disappointed about that. :(

I just started the second game too. I'm not too far into it. It hasn't really "caught" me yet, but I think I heard you meet some of the old party members in the game, and tell about the fate of Revan.

Yeah that's the part I did like, the conversations and somewhat non-linear gameplay. Didn't like the combat so much.. I would've beaten the game but the copy I rented kept freezing up so I gave up on it.

For anyone who likes wrestling games here.. (probably no one lol but who knows..) feast your eyes on this game coming out on the PS2 November 27th.. I dub it the SmackDown killer. Hundreds of real wrestlers (under fake names to avoid copyright issues, but you can rename them), real federations (again renamable), over 1500 moves, 500 caw slots, tons of modes, best gameplay in a wrestling game (none of that button mashing garbage like in Smackdown, this is more like WWF No Mercy), and all in glorious 2D.

The game coming out this year is shown at 03:13 of the video

Oh and I plan on making that new Intel sig for you Apium.

I was going to replay it and do everything as a light jedi, but I couldn't stand to be good after I knew the main character was actually Darth Revan. I just can't pass up being the Dark Lord of the Sith.

And besides who would want to miss out on Zaalbar killing Mission.
