Oh baby, JK3 Demo!

[DentyCracker]

bob off has helped a lot

Also, I've noticed that it helps a lot if you concentrate mostly on the crosshair rather than trying to look at the pretty surroundings. I only really get the motion sickness when I've been playing a game that the frame rate drops nastily.

Oh and UT2k3 makes me sick when playing triple-head Though Jedi Academy does not. Quite possibly because Jedi Academy is mostly 3rd person. (considering who would want to use a blaster when you have a lightsaber?)

[Kruzin]

Swoosh, zwish, fsssst

[GT98]

uh...I beat it already

[Novdid]

Damn you geek!

I got a copy, I'll try to beat it too, but as I also have Homeworld2 to beat it can take while.

But I can say the first mission(JA) was very good, really made me want to get into the game.

I'm up to mission 11 on Homeworld and its kicking my ass now. As for JK3 check out my posting earier in this thread...its great game, but I think I want to play it on my desktop again since my Laptop isnt quite the beast for playing FPS shooters on

I'm too busy KotOR'ing. I'll hit academy next.

I've beaten the game as well. Quick question though, what happens if you choose to go to the dark side? I went through to the light side of the force. Though maybe I don't want to know, 'cause I think I'm going to play through the whole thing again It was just damned fun to pick up enemy Jedi and fling them off bridges to their deaths with the Force Grip at level 3.

The best part of the game is where they will say "You cannot escape me, Jedi" then you'd run and hide behind a pillar, and then they'd say "You have escaped! Where are you hiding?"

Another great part in the game is when there were these two flying stormtroopers with the Heavy Imperial Repeater pistols after me and I used the Jedi Mind trick on one of them so they'd fight each other. They flew so high up I could barely see them with my Disrupter scoped in at maximum zoom. They stayed up there the entire level shooting each other

How good is this ...
I've been playing the full version JKJA in Surround at 3072 x 768 and everything turned up ... its BRILLIANT !

... and there are those that keep trying to dump on Surround Gaming saying it is dead ... clearly misguided fools !

[bsdgeek]

I'm disappointed, got it today, played for a few hours on Jedi Master. It was too easy, I remember on Outcast they whooped my butt.

Not finished yet though, I hope it gets harder.

And Multiplayer only works right half the time.

I totally agree! I played and beat the game using surround gaming. Quite useful when you go in those large rooms and you can see where the Reborn guys are hiding behind pillars

The funnest part in the game is when you get Grip to level three. Then if you see evil Jedi on bridges and such, you just pluck them up with the force grip and then fling them off to their doom. It's all great fun!

I completed the game being 'good' and then reloaded to the point where you had to make a choice.

*SPOILER*












The dark-side level is exactly the same except the Jedi are after you too. Instead of fighting the boss twice, you only fight to the first cutscene and then you have to do it out with kyle instead.

The 15seconds or so at the end don't justify it.

I thought the game was pretty pants to be honest.
The imperial grunts are no threat especially with the mind trick, and the 'dark jedi' or whatever they are called are tedious but can be defeated simply by the following:


Rush in with force absorb and take out the saber-less bloke, then either:
1: Use force grab and throw the sabre wielding bloke off a ledge
2: do a crouch+forward+attack manouver with the sabre (works best with the dualies).

That's it. There was so little variation in enemies, that I just got so bored of walking around a corner and 'oh look, there are two dark-jedi thingies'. I dont like the combat with the sabre - i often ended up with my back to the enemy, just because i wanted to do a side sweep.

I have not played multiplayer yet, but i assume that is going to be where all the fun is.

I quite enjoyed killing the dark jedi. I did have one major problem with the game. What the hell was Boba Fett doing in it? Call me crazy, but he was eaten by the Sarlack. To be slowly digested over the next 1000 years, right?

<rant>Which brings me to some thoughts about Attack of the Clones. Boba Fett was in Empire Strikes Back very briefly and in Return of the Jedi for not much longer, and yet somehow he became a major character. Granted, his armor looks cool and all. And it's always fun to talk about bounty hunters. But really, it kind of makes you wonder why with all the odd creatures/characters that Lucas created in those marvelous films, that Boba Fett became as famous as he did. (Considering there's a game that you play him in and that in Attack of the Clones his father was the model for the clones.) Makes you wonder if there is something in the mentallity of society that makes us always root for the bad guy. It's so very true that there is no such thing as bad publicity. Look at Bonnie and Clyde or Billy the Kid. Pretty much all ruthless killers and scumbags, and yet they've become famous. Yet a lot of people who've done great things in their lifetimes that benefit mankind, not many people even know about them. (Nikola Tesla is a VERY good example.)
</rant>

I thought the plot of this game was pretty cool all around, but where Boba Fett came from is a complete mystery, since this game is obviously AFTER Return of the Jedi. At least with that Bounty Hunter game, they could place it anytime before Empire Strikes Back.
