I think a section needs to be added to the op listing all of the most ridiculous things in the EU that are always brought up that are, in fact, infinities. Start with the Darth Maul reborn comic and work from there.

SeanBeansShako posted:The guys developing the KOTOR MMO have pretty much left the events of KOTOR 2 out in the cold. That's not true, the MMO is basing its entire plot around the events in KoTOR 2. The entire "True Sith" empire brought up in KoTOR 2 is the enemy in the MMO.

WhyteRyce posted:I've been ignoring the MMO more the most part, but the "True Sith" in the one trailer I saw looked like garden-variety Sith. Exactly that is the whole point. By "True-sith" they mean the original Sith species and dark jedi who fought with Naga Sadow in the Great Hyperspace War. When they lost the remnants fled into the unknown regions to rebuild. Between then and now all the "Sith" that came up like Exar Kun and Revan were just basing their teachings on the Sith way and were not actually bred Sith. These guys are.

arioch posted:Poorly acted and overwrought cutscenes are like, the best part about beating those games. They were proper rewards, much like Blizzard's cinematics, and CnC (where the gameplay was poo poo but the cinematics were always the best). I too hate critically acclaimed popular games. What is your opinion on Bioshock and the Legend of Zelda series?

arioch posted:Legend of Zelda has been pretty bad lately in case you haven't noticed No, can't say I have. TP was great and WW is a constant fan favorite (except the triforce hunting). Just ask in the Zelda thread. But I guess we are the ones who are wrong and we should stop having fun. Anyway, I'm just saying that there are a lot of reasons to think that KoTOR is a fantastic game and few to think it is objectionably horrible like you do.

arioch posted:Spirit Tracks, Phantom Hourglass, etc. TP was pretty good to excellent, though, because it almost never lapsed into the raw retarded gimmickry of WW, PH, ST. You have a point about the handheld games but I didn't really count them as they aren't really considered to be "full" Zelda games if you know what I mean.

Is there any way we can reset the post RoTJ EU to the end of the New Jedi Order and start again from there? Keep the Legacy comics though, but remove all mentions of Jacen as a Sith. Please Lucasfilm/Book/Arts?

Hell they can keep the plot of LoTF, just rewrite it with different authors. Allston can stay but gently caress the rest.

SeanBeansShako posted:Fun SWG memory, 20k credits was pennies that'd barely buy you a decent gun or speeder bike and not a ship. That is true, but when Jump to Lightspeed came out, didn't a top tier Sword cost as much as an A-Wing? The economy in that was so funny because it was 100% player controlled.

SeanBeansShako posted:Pretty much, and it depended if the sword had been crafted somehow with the tooth of the infamous Lord Nyax or whatever crap looted from the constantly camped KJA inspired dungeon bosses. I remember rolling around with the CDEF rifle (the shittiest one that you can buy for like 500 credits) on Tatooine shooting the small little whomp rats outside Mos Eisley not knowing what the gently caress. Thankfully I ran into a veteran who decided to help me and he took me off planet and showed me how to do stuff like gain XP. He brought me to Naboo where I spent my last credit to buy the Advanced Laser Rifle and it changed my loving life forever.

While I never did it myself, it's funny how in SWG it was possible to play as a "female" and take massive advantage of people more so than in any other game. "Female" dancers made a loving killing if they played it right. And during my time with the game I only took a few screenshots and I only have 1 still saved. I wish I took shots every day, there is a lot of cool stuff that I would like to remember.

SOE's lowest hour (at least prior to the NGE) was when they closed one of their servers due to constant player protests. The time where the put hundreds of players into space was during one of them. What happened was that someone in the game figured out a way to dupe the in game currency in the trillions. SOE, in their brilliant wisdom decided to ban EVERYONE who had any of the duped credits. However, since there was absolutely no way for someone in game to know whether the credits were genuine they were spread all over the server as people continued to buy things and give money to other people. You could even give someone money without their consent using the /tip command and there was not a drat thing they could do about it. Everyone who had the duped credits was banned.

Angry Midwesterner posted:Lots of Thrawn stuff. And probably more reasonable extrapolations from the OT than what Lucas gave us, like Anakin would be a decorated adult war hero before training under Obi-Wan (not a problem before Lucas decreed that all Jedi needed to start training as babbies), Leia and Luke's mother wouldn't be a lame democratically elected queen and would survive long enough for Leia to credibly remember her, Yoda wouldn't use a lightsaber, Palpatine wouldn't necessarily be called a Sith, Tatooine would be Obi-Wan's home planet instead of Anakin's, and Owen would still be Obi-Wan's brother, no bullshit about Jedi not having families, Victory class Star Destroyers, Bail Organa would be a kick-rear end general before retiring to politics, we'd loving see poo poo go down on Alderaan, the Clone Wars would probably have both sides with Clones and Palpatine would only be pulling all the strings on the Republic end. And if Zahn wrote it we'd probably have some bullshit about Mara Jade's Jedi parents and Talon Karrde starting out as a small-timer. That would have been SOOOOO loving sweet  FUUUUCK you Lucas, how come your story sucked so much? How could the loving creation of the Empire and Darth Vader be so boring?

SeanBeansShako posted:I wish Spam The Tanks would actually at least work in EAW. It doesn't, all the stuff under Tech 3 is hilariously rubbish. I remember one game I played where, as the Rebels, I completely took over huge swaths of the Galaxy with extremely minimal resistance in space. I had huge gently caress off fleets of Mon Cal Cruisers and Star Destroyers (I forget how) and nothing could stand in my way. I always wondered what the gently caress the Imperials were doing since I NEVER saw any capital ships anywhere. Well, my question was answered when the Imperials were down to their last two planets, Courscant and Borleias, where I saw that they had about 300 Acclamator class starships split between the two planets. I just quit the game because I didn't want to deal with that bullshit.

Just kinda curious to know how that would turn out for them. Or is it just a select few people that know about this? Everyone in the galaxy knows that Luke and Leia are siblings and that Vader was their father.

elestupendojudio posted:Alright, so I know the dumb explanation for why Jedi don't just force aneurysm their opponents, but why can't they do that to droids? When fighting MagnaGuards for instance, why not just pop a couple gears in their limbs or something? They make it seem relatively difficult to fight them in the movies and the cartoon, and there is no explanation for why Jedi don't immediately cripple droids and tear them apart. I need answers! That is a power in KoTOR.
