Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Review | The Completionist 

You actually did it 😂

HK-47 Well commented my loyal friend.

omg this made my night!

HK-47 I love you

you made my day xD

I know it’s been a *loooong* time since then, but the Episode 3 game is actually a lot of fun, if you haven’t tried it out. KOTOR is better, obviously, but Episode 3 is a hidden gem

@@MyGamer125 I'll definitely give it a try then! I've been replaying the classic Dark Forces games recently so it'll fit right in. Thank you for the tip

Wow irony. Ya. The episode 3 game is also good *not as good as kotor) its literally just *the* star wars fighting game. Its got its usual going through levels of the movie part. But the main part is its "multiplayer" (can be played against bots) part thats just an literally fighting game like street fighter but for jedi.

That employee is a saint

Episode 3 is hella fun though. Especially if you had someone to play with

The poor fuck. The poor, stupid fuck.

Louis Wilkins watch episode 9 and you'll know what hes talking about

@@Err0Rose never

@DaBaby Yoda He is missing out on another shit film, in a shit trilogy. So your point is invalid lol

@Louis Wilkins bless you for not knowing that. You lucky bastard

SuriiK seeing how EA has a stranglehold on the Star Wars IP, that'll never happen. If it did happen, then expect loads of microtransactions and other crap. They'd probably give you only green sabers for Jedi and red for Sith and then make you have to pay for loot boxes for a chance to get the other colors

You what??? Oh, never sell that

Daaaamn you are lucky!!!!!

Lucky Bastard. This was the only dialog option i had.

To hope for KOTOR 3 one must hope for a miracle. And that miracle is *Obsidian Entertainment*

What would happen if you successfully killed Calo then and there?

You wouldn't have succeeded. Actually, I'm not sure but I think(if I remember correctly) that he's programmed to be able to kill you at that point.

Same line set Woolie picked.

+August28 - Unless you're just talking theoretically it is indeed impossible. If you cheat and give yourself infinite health, ridiculous damage and the best weapons you'll just be stuck in a never ending battle where you can't kill him and he can't kill you.

Wow, spoilers

Bro 🤣💀

Not a quote from darth Malak

Takashiari To my understanding of The Clone Wars and it's sequel Rebels series, nothing outright conflicts with these games. Then again, I still haven't finished these games either, but until something outright conflicts, I'll agree that it's Canon.

it doesn't counter any of the movies or TV shows, Disney just doesn't like it cause they know they'll never do anything that'll top it

George Lucas went on Record many times saying if it wasnt something he directly worked on it was not canon... It was not Disney that made this non Canon

then Disney's Star Wars movies and Rebels aren't cannon

My point was they were non Canon Before Disney took over so nothing changed Obviously George Lucas has no say in what is canon anymore

Your pathetic Jedi mind tricks will not work on me Just kidding I love the Jedi. I always wanted to be one.

Prolly won't since the game is a broken buggy mess without Mods

@Short For A Hoe That's your opinion and that's cool, but Revan for life (minus SWTOR Revan. They ruined him.)

@@CookiePieMonster The Restored Content Mod does fix 90% of the games problems though. If you never played it try it out like this. Kotor 1 had the better story but Kotor 2 with RCM is a better game overall.

@@EskChan19 I know about the mod, that's why I said *without* mods. Kotor 2 does upgrade the gameplay compared to kotor 1, but that doesn't change the fact that without mods kotor 2 is so buggy I'm amazed it was sold in stores.

This is why you start off as a melee focused Soldier

Diamonte Lol I started off as a scavenger. Never even played a game remotely similar to this. Looking back now, I’m surprised I even managed to beat it

@@timotheninja next play through don’t level up before you leave taris

I never liked blaster, it's really sad because i love hk-47

I remember unknowingly gimping myself when I was little because I was a melee character but picked consular cause I wanted a green saber lol

indeed, never play Pazaak without saving, you're gonna lose a lot until you get hardcore skilled.

So you'll lose a lot of money because there is no "harcore skill" in pazaak.

I don't know, if you have the right cards and strategy, winning pazaak is really not that hard.

Yep it's all about your cards.

Right? I was 7 when this came out and it’s just… never really dawned on me how much content its got. Such a solid classic.

Lol you haven’t completed every quest kid. Do you even own the game?

It was imo good but its hard to like when 2/3 is literall dog shit

I loved last jedi.

Mojo Ethan to each there own my friend, I’m more of a clone boy myself.

I like TLJ! But yeah it super funny that he said everybody's looking forward to TLJ and then the release happend...

@@mojoethan4141 good for u, but it was just bad

ProJared Plays! Hey Jared

ProJared Plays! How's life going?

Your awesome

ProJirard confirmed?

ur awesome to see.

Dude I'll start up Swtor and suddenly Kotor music starts and then I have so many feels that I just sit there and listen for a bit its so rare that any game gives me any memories that fond these days.

Ah nerds being pissed off over a pronounciation of a name is always gratifying lol

Ben Moreno To me, it’s just baffling that someone can’t pronounce a word as common as Ebon.

@@benmoreno5882 It makes it seem like the guy didn't even play the game. The name of the ship is mentioned multiple times. So did he actually play this or did he just get a script from reading a walk through.

@@c_f0rce probably both who know until he releases some gameplay we shall never know

I agree, I recently watched his dark souls 2 video and he kept mispronouncing the name of the kingdom that's mentioned multiple times. No way he actually played the game. Probably paid someone to play it and write an essay. And when he reads it he butchers the names.

Micah Bell That was beautiful. :')

HickoryDickory86 😂

lol

Baron Harkonnen no it would have to be DLC

+assassin gamerdie All DLC is free, so it wouldn't matter if it was.

SSSHHHHHH

It's in Star Wars The Old Republic MMORPG.

Zeta_Legion They did some pretty fucked stuff in the first KOTOR too.

infantMajesty I've never tried that before. How difficult is it do not level up until you're a Jedi.

WorldHunter a lot, the arena fights are tough without a nice set of grenades, but the parts where you can rely in your party are a breeze if you avoid pulling aggro with your main.

infantMajesty I'm gonna have to try this the next time I play. Sounds interesting.

infantMajesty I remember doing that once with a Consular run. UNLIMITED POOOOOOWAH! *shoots all the lightning*

oh man, the constant dying, the inevitable buying of stim packs to get through the simplest of fights, placing mines everywhere to win bastila, all to reap the reward of being a badass is totally worth it... if you've tried this you have my respect.

there been rumors about it Also someone is remastering it by themselves I watch them on twitch every stream as they remaster it.

No. Please no. I don't want EA to get anywhere near this or KotOR 2.

GreenBean bioware now isnt the same bioware as back then, so hell no

GreenBean if it would be just hd 4k ultra edition, then why no, but it wont

HickoryDickory86 I mean after battlefront 2 I'd hope Disney would find a new publisher

i already knew that.

Gary Good wow well done

I wasn't a Furry in 2003 and in 2020 after 17 years I'm still not lol and I've played the game MULTIPLE times over 🤣

I remember them mentioning it on xplay

Barry Bend Yes and no. It uses the Wizards of the Coast Star Wars RPG system that's based on the D20 system which is the same base system that D&D Third Edition uses.

I wish someone told me this sooner! Now I want to play it

To be precise, KOTOR 1 runs on a barely modified version of Neverwinter Nights' Aurora Engine (3.0 d20), while 2 runs on a prototype Electron Engine (3.5 d20). Yes there is a slight difference.

Correct! Give this man a cookie!

I played both 3.0 and 3.5 and there is very little difference compared to 3.5 to 4.0.

They say the name of the ship so many times during one playthrough, he played it 4 times and still doesn't remember the pronunciation? Sounds fishy.

Ebon Hawk's pronunciation had to have been a troll decision. It had to...

Jirard mispronounces things all the time through-out all the videos, including things stated many, many, many times in the game - like "T-arr-is" as opposed to "Tar-is" I wouldn't be surprised if he just plays them with mute on the whole time with how often it happens. -Or that this is all a social experiment to see if you can believably review video games without ever actually playing or experiencing them and getting someone else to write a script.-

Pretentious Elizabeth You know, I really got the felling that he didn't play the game. He didn't went to a spoilers discussion about the outcomes of the choices you can make in the game, did he? Even when he praises precisely that so much.

Bona hawk

XD 10/10 this made my day

Or "I'm high as fuck"

"I'm not Revan any more, I'm High as fuck now."

@@Ordos_Repeating_Blaster epic comment xd

It would be like hi I'm not revan

i played KOTOR on the XBOX originally, for somebody new to PC gaming, how much modding exists between the two games? i would love to know.

There's quite a lot, and they're quite varied. Heck, some mods like The Brotherhood of Shadow (which is huge btw) and The Restored Content have become so popular that some consider them essential. I usually stick to the Restored Contents mods and a few cosmetic changes, but there are others you can that really change and/or improve the experience.

The "Mod" is considered offical now and comes with Kotor2 on Steam now.

It's been patched since the buggy release...yes. But that isn't what Nirvashv7 is talking about. The restored content mod is unofficial and separate from the Steam release. The mod is available on Steam though. In the workshop. And it does add a bit of extra to the game. Aside that is the planet M4-78, which was also cut from the game and adding in via modding. That said, beware of planet M4-78. It was also meant to be in the game, and if added will be tied into the story. Personally, I could have done without it, and thought it could have been better optimized and a bit less tedious than it turned out to be. Still awesome that they put all the work in that they did to put it back in the game. I just think they could have done better with some major parts of it.

I just started playing kotor2 and am past the tutorial planet. Hate it. Just wasn't as fun as interesting as koto1's. Anyways I was gonna say I avoided m4-78 when I heard the issues with it. I just want to do a playthrough that will be quicker and not lose a shaz ton.

Rinvak totally! 🍓

me too, I used to think RPGS were JUST about stats and dice rolls, and the 'fun' came from sifting through hundreds items to eqiup the one with the higher number, so you could make some more numbers go down, so I strayed away from the genre. However, I played KOTOR and Deus Ex and it forever changed my views on RPGs and video games in general.

Okikbhnb

The restored content modification.

@@GaleHUN It's good apart from that part near the game where you play as the little droid, that bit was almost unplayable it was so hard since I'd barely levelled him up and took way too long to beat

DemonGrenade274 what’s wrong with console versions? Just curious

Maesterful I killed all the enemies with the exile before that bit so it was easy for me

Sir Dorky lmaooo

It's like the opposite of watching the Last Jedi

Do you? Hm..

you should've side quested and slain every enemy you can, you should be at least on par with Malak, if not stronger.

Easiest way to beat Malak... Y'all ready for this. Use his strat... Force Drain the captured Jedi :p

I was far overleveled and still used the mines and force drain, sorry. ;)

Poly Rolf Try beating the game with a blasters only run. You HAVE to cheese Malak for like 90 minutes.

I recently went back and played KOTOR 1, as a light side Consular. Since he's immune to pretty much every stunning move I had, I too had to cheese him out with mines that I placed while using Speed to get away from him lol

Same

One of the best SW themes

I see profile pic changed when the remake was announced. That's cool

Eric Beall makes sense.

Don't forget about Darth Ganondorf the most powerful Sith Lord of them all.

Haha same

Spuce RESTORATION MOD

Oh you sweet summer child. You can't complete an unfinished game!

The original Xbox version is so damn buggy! Maybe he can also play an updated PC copy

Maybe when 9 comes out

Its garbage compared to the first we know

If only it were true...only if it was possible.....

She still could have just been nobody. Like not everyone needs to be connected to the originals

@@masonpellazar6543 not if you ask Disney

Oh ho ho ho, you're so wrong. The Yavin DLC contained two most powerful lightsaber crystals, which basically made up the end-game content he found so lacking in the base game.

Expensive, yet broken items. Heart of the Guardian and Mantle of the Force come to mind, plus being unique lightsaber colors.

Wow 14 years later I found out there was DLC for KOTOR 1 I know KOTOR 2 had the restored Content which was great .

there was lot of lore about Exar Kun and battle of Yavin plus one side quest though

I had the dlc and never used it. Didn't know the items were so broken

Pominator lets hope if their is a third obsidian is developing it(i think cd project red would also do a good job)

the problem is Ea owns the rights to Star Wars games for the next 5 years

KotOR 3 will never happen, mainly because they've already moved past that era in the series. Revan, Bastilla, Meetra, and Carth are long dead, by this point (Ok, so Revan's not *exactly* dead, but that's getting into spoiler territory for the MMO) The closest you'll ever come to a true KotOR 3 experience is the Jedi Knight storyline in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Which is a damned good story, too, and *does* tie into the previous two games. Actually, *all* of the class stories in SWTOR are pretty great, albeit some moreso than others, but it's subjective and really about the kind of person *you* are. I do know people who preferred the Jedi Consular story over all others, but I personally found it a bit boring, at times. The "at times" part is a very important distinction because I *am* glad I played through it, and I *did* have a lot of fun as a Consular, as well. Just not as much as a Knight or Smuggler, which fit my personality (in gaming) as both a man of action and a sarcastic jackass, respectively. Actually, ironically, considering my own dislike of ranged characters, I probably had more fun as the Smuggler than as anyone else. Anyways, point is, SWTOR is great, it's F2P, go play it right now.

Bioware sucks now? I'm way out of the loop, but that...that hurts.

people didn't like Andromeda, the story was fairly generic and didn't live up to the quality that the previous trilogy set.

Chakra Zoo the video footage is captured on a Xbox One.

How does backwards compatibility work? Can I just put the disc in?

yes

xbox lol it is one of the greatest PC games ever made

wow, rude.

He didn't say Legends stuff was disappearing, he said that SWTOR is the only Legends property still being actively developed, which is just a fact.

Tarlo The Boar I feel like KOTOR becoming canon again in some form is inevitable. I mean, look at Thrawn, a popular EU character that was brought back into the new canon.

Darth Caesar Not only that but iirc, Revan was actually planned to be in a Clone Wars episode but was scraped at the last minute.

Tarlo The Boar Hey at least we got that Revan ripoff Rey, right? Right?!

Tarlo The Boar it’s canon to me!

"There is always a bit of truth in legends" It has not been contradicted or replaced so you can still count it as canon

Shadowfox he did! 🌶️

Absolute madman!

The proper term is "Dew it." Just saiyin'

@outcasted sushiboi yes it is, plastic fan

@outcasted sushiboi r/whoosh

WillBattle I know, right? Aside from Tales of Symphonia, I was never more super-hyped than when I heard he was gonna be completing this game. ^.^

My Nr. 1 Game of all Time since 10+ years

He completed my favorite twice

WillBattle You don't think KOTOR 2 is better?

headbite alien yes and no it 2 improved a lot of problems 1 had but i feel the story is better it’s like comparing super Mario 64 to galaxy or odyssey

Eh-bonbon

Just wait until you see the Millenial Unicorn in "episode IX" Ps:There are only 6 Star Wars movies and 1 holiday special.

@@roberth4395 Rogue 1 is good too

The fact that the fanbase will accept the Holiday special before the new movies shows how horrible the Disney movies are

I'm so excited, I've always wanted to play it, I'm so happy I'm finally getting to play it

Me too

yep

It's on the app store too, the turn based combat works pretty well on a phone.

I love AOE 2 lol

AoE 2 someone did his videogame homework...

if it is surpassed by age of empire, it is not your favorite of all time.

That just shows how much better a lot of games were back then compared to today's *Coughs* Star Wars Battlefront II *coughs*

@@Vectavist223 Yeah I just got this game for my phone it is the best. Even on a phone.

the thing with two is the ending was rushed, some plot points weren't finished and the final fight was... 'ugh'. EA wanted to release it for christmas time and ultimately ruined what would have been a 20/10 game. Having said that, to me, it's still a 15/10 game and i'll always play it after the first one.

If you purchase it through steam it comes with the TSL Restored content mod integrated into the game. So now it is actually a full game :)

Well, sort of. From my experience the restored content's content is not quite as good as the actual game's content, but still adds much more to the game and Kreia's motives, which ties very strongly into the ending.

Matty H it wasnt published by ea tho lol

Kotor 2 has a much more interesting story tbh

BrainScratch Commentaries hell i'll drink to that

I would agree with that being able to train your own apprentice is bad ass

I would agree with that, KOTOR I & II are my favourite games of all time but if I prefer TSL overall, especially with the Restored Content Mod.

funny everything you just said is wrong

Kreia’s character was extremely well written

Rey agrees.

I'm more of a purple, honestly.

Either purple, white or the dark saber for me but each to their own

I'm a red and purple kinda guy, the yellow always annoys me

Orange, even as a Sith, it's orange.

Ch3wbacca YES!!! JE is amazing. And I still play it.

Ignis Sword I still got my copy.

Jade Empire is an awesome, awesome game- I feel like it never gets enough recognition! Still have my copy for original xbox!

What the game that Nathan fillien is the bad guy?

Mine were classic D&D 3.5 edition and elder scrolls 3 marrowwind.

DELIBRIUM o

Mines the OG battlefront 2

BronzieBlue Nothing beats the first ones twist, but I agree, KOTOR 2 is my favorite completely.

Nah, kotor 2 is way worse. It's waaaaaaaay too unpolished. Even with all the restored content, the game feels clunky and as if it was still in alpha stage. Not even beta.

MrKosobi Um...KOTOR 1 is pretty much the same. Kotor 2 is still good, it is much more fleshed out in terms of roleplaying, mechanics and how you interact with characters. Plus all the dialogue options and character dialogue is great. Is it unpolished here and there? Sure. But it doesnt detract from the experience.

Spookerd00dle Gaming Yes, some characters were great, some not really. Mechanics themselves were indeed polished. They way you interacted with characters as well as interactions between themselves were incredibly well executed. Dialogues were great, for the most part. I don't disagree with any of these points. However planets' design was beyond awful. Kotor 1 had enjoyable planets all the way, Kotor 2 had incredibly boring Peragus, then Telos which was the most dull experience ever (both in terms of claustrophobical interiors as in terms of hyper-dull environmental plot), Korriban robbed of its content, Malachor V is hack'n'slash, Nar Shaddaa on which you just roamed around without a goal, Mandalorian moon with hedious textures taken straight out of Duke Nukem 3d... Furthermore, quests themselves were very boring and had 0 epicness of the quests from the first game. Just compare the swoop racing: in first kotor you had very elaborate questlines, with various characters, both good and evil, participating in them. In second kotors they aren't even a third of what they were in the first game. Each planet had something interesting going on, taking you on a trip to explore the planets' secrets. Kotor 2 has boring, dull plots on every planet.

MrKosobi I couldn't even finish kotor II, I think it was worse when I installed that mod wich expanded the content. I just couldn't bear all that exposition and boring stories. I mean, I didn't need all those video records about how those people from the mine were killed, just give me a summary and a couple of scenes, man.

i would love a KOTOR 3, especially after all that Bioware has done with RPGs like this since, it would be the Star Wars equivalent of Skyrim.

Soupmaster101 well obsidian can make it after EA loses their license forms Star Wars games.

I want KotOR 3 _only_ if Obsidian is able to do it, and given all the money and time they need to do it well. I would not trust modern BioWare to do anything of quality. They are an empty shell of what they once were. No thanks to EA.

yeah. ive been clamoring for a 3rd installment for years, but given the state of the industry as whole right now, im afraid if they did make it now it would just sully the entire series :/

Please buy more lootboxes to fight the Sith Empire. No, my name is not Andrew Wilson, CEO of Electronic Arts.

I remember Choices; we had one in Bury St. Edmunds. Rented a lot of great '80s action movies there.

Hell yeah, I relate to so much of this experience, down to falling asleep watching the mantas and listening to the music on Dantooine

Laughs as I was already op before that.

Laughs in sith.

Laughs in Solaris crystal Knight with 40 strength. I was on shotting Malak.

Mass Effect 1 was a great remake of it.

MrDeedsly not to mention dragon age.

Indeed Chris the first one was amazing.

MrDeedsly I have to agree the first Mass effect was amazing . Mass Effect was what KOTOR 3 could have been.

It lacks lightsabers But yeah Mass Effect 1 is awesome and a good spiritual successor (I prefer ME2 but ME1 is a really close second)

Please! It's a greater experience in my opinion.

@@Ganon999 Yep, totally.

It was an awesome movie, dumbass

THE MARVELLOUS COMPANY I found another person who likes it!

@@therealgingerboy2215 There's a lot of people who like it, believe me. Those who hate are just louder, nothing more.

@@lordnanni3177 Im amazed someone liked it, but dont really care ^^ Guess it's because i live with a girl that loves the transformers movies xD

@@Monsteretrope I loved cause it's an amazing star wars movie. It's underrated and misunderstood.

LX I kinda want him to review the first 9 games before that though.

Zachary Erickson There's two Persona 4 Arena games, the original and Ultimax, and two Persona 2 games, Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment . Add in the other mainline Personas, Q, and Dancing All Night and you get 9 before Persona 5.

yah but ppl only count persona 1 2 3 4 5 the others are just re tweaks and remakes they dont count

scratch that persona 5 dont count cause i dont do new gen consoles lol

jeremy arecco No. I'm including spin-offs, not remakes. I don't have seperate listings for Persona 4 and Persona 4 Golden. I'm just including the spinoffs: Persona Q, Persona Dancing All Night, and both Arena games (which have seperate plots and thus are two different games). I'm also counting both Persona 2s, as both are mainline Persona entries, even if America didn't get the first one until the remake.

I shouldn't it not the Jedi way DO IT

Dew it!

thechcoman I loved it other fans either love it or hate it heard it’s better with 2nd viewing hope you enjoy it.

I’m gonna rewatch the original trilogy and ep 7 with my four year old sister before I go see it again with her.

There's lightsabers in it

plainstroller

Jack Imaginário boulder's gate

It's funny he got it wrong when it is mentioned several times in the game... in a fully voice acted game...

@Ross O Brien First of Jedi Guardian use special yellow sabers and special wardrobe, but generally those same rules apply to anyone else. People of specific colors have inclination to specific functions. But Jedi with yellow saber doesn't need to be a guardians. Hell.. there are a Jedi who use pink sabers (natural red crystals) and no one did complain.

TheRezro sorry a RU-vidr did a video on some of the saber colours and im not sure if he said all or some use yellow sabers

You guys should explore lore yourself in the actual stories. RU-vidrs don't get everything right.

TheRezro I thought it was the sentinels that used yellow sabers. At least KOTOR seems to say that

I thought yellow lightsaber users in KOTOR were "Jedi Sentinels"?

Why would they waste money on a remaster when people are still buying the original version at 15 bucks a pop without them having to lift a finger?

Lol you right

better remake 2, with current graphics and actually finish the damn game

i didnt know that it was compatible with Xbox one, but now that i do, i SO want to play it right now, you have no idea...

The Gaming Paladin it’s been like that for a minute bro...

both starwars and south park references i give you points mate

Tektum was just thinking this

Honestly? I would have rather had it be Lando

nooo thanks. microtransactions and half assed releases are not welcome in my favorite game.

Dan Potato didn't they remastered this?

anime fanboy101 for ios

anime fanboy101 no. Not properly.

Dan Potato nope. They need a fuckton of fans to do a remake. If a company does a remake, it will probably be a super shitty cash grab. Like TOR. But, if fans do it, they have a better chance of getting it right.

DaBaby Yoda oh was it? How did it manage to be so amazing?! That’s crazy. It’s definitely better than kotor 1

Even though it was unfinished I loved playing it. Currently doing the RCM and it is sooooo good.

Good news!

Rogue Squadron (N64) and Episode 1 Racer (DC) was great as well.

never played Episode 1 Racer, Rogue Squadron was great

Derek Shook Racer is indeed great. Also, obviously, Tie Fighter. But I assume you meant that as well when you wrote X-wing

yeah, I know that there were man X-Wing games so I meant all of them, I don't believe I've played all of them, but the ones that I have were amazing, just like when I put Dark Forces I meant all of the Jedi Knight games

Lmao I own the original xbox versions of republic commando, battlefront 2 and kotor. They are GREAT

Same here, bought it today to my phone. I'm loving it... sadly the second game is crashing on phones, so I didn't buy it.

2 is quite a downgrade in terms of quality overall along with being way more buggy in general, while also being WAY more combat focused that can really screw you up if you didn't make yourself a combat focused character while non combat related stats are pretty much pointless, tho note that the PC version is the best version of KOTOR 2 because of a restoration mod because to put short KOTOR 2 is an unfinished game and that mod restored crucial content back into it.

@@V-Jes Non combat stats are pointless in Kotor 1 too. That's why you have a party...

Kotor 2 is the far better game in every aspect outside of the plot twist. Such a profound star wars experience

@@Digger-Nick Did you even read what you wrote? That literally contradicts itself while also your party members Persuasion stat means nothing, meanwhile in Kotor 2 the non-combat stats are useless because there's barely any moments to even use those in the game at all because the game is literally unfinished...

That gives me goosebumps
