Ben Jervis I thought he was relatively easy. After getting the challenge points I went to the right of the train near the bottom of the incinerators and waited and just went to town with my blaster
I REALLY WISH Shadows of the Empire and Dark Forces would be remade using either the Frostbite Engine or the Unreal 4, with better controls (obviously) and 1st and 3rd person (like BattleFront ) . I know, keep dreaming, but I can wish. Also Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith remade with those graphic engines.
Yeah you can definitely say that again. When me and my brother played this game as kids. The gladiator droid gave me nightmares and it was one of the most hardest bosses that we ever faced in this game
When I was a kid IG-88 was the hardest freaking boss for both me and my step dad. Especially with those purple laser balls of doom. I remember when my stepdad finally beat him for the first time. It felt like a huge accomplishment at the time. Finally after like a month of trying I was able to beat him.
The AT-STs scared me so much as a child. I took forever to beat them because I was always hiding outside of the room, waiting for them to come within view, getting just a few shots, and then running back away!
the dianoga eye is what scared me, the sounds it made along with the look of it made it one boss i got my brother to beat for me because i was to scared to fight it
You know, when you encounter the AT-ST, you can beat it without triggering the boss. If you can edge yourself around the corner, you can slightly see the AT-ST and shoot at it without having to trigger the boss fight. I know, because the boss battle in this game used to scare me as a kid and I took any alternative.
Disney is so foolish to squander the ability to make these kinds of games by giving EA a exclusive contract and dissolving Lucas arts. They made incredible games and carried the Star Wars brand for the hardcore fans. Really dumb. What happens when you don’t have fans running things and have suites.
The foolish leadership at Disney and LucasFilms are looking dumb and wondering what they're doing wrong when the retards know exactly why they're failing. The bitches killed off a whole fucking universe. You can't do that without serious repercussions ! If they wanted to create new ideas and tell new stories then they should've one it in the era of the EU that weren't fleshed out that great or at all. Here are 4 of the many options they could've done without killing the universe and still having "creative freedom": 1. Trilogies based off of the novels. Everything doesn't have to be word for word or scene for scene. If people did shit like that movies based off games and books would end in like 30 minutes. Thrawn Trilogy should've been the opening doorway for a new era of godly Star Wars movies 2. Make a series based off the perspectives of people in Star Wars that weren't crucially essential in history being made. People will still watch it because it's Star Wars dude 3. Explore the New Sith Wars. This era is isn't very well detailed and most of the lore you find only explains the first half of the conflicts and the last few decades. They could've made original Sith and Jedi along with other Non Force-Sensitive characters. I made a good estimate of the years not documented about the New Sith Wars and I have a good number of about 380 fucking years ! More than space to make new stories. Especially in a time where Jedi and Sith were everywhere and the galaxy (Republic) was going through a dark age crisis 4. Start your new stories after the Legacy Era. This would've negated all the terrible backlash of the movies still being bad because at least we'd have better movies and animated series to fall back on. But no, all we have are farces and unforgivable trash...
Dude!!! IG-88 units are scary in general, that level just sent chills down my spine when I fought against him, especially when he makes the garble sound and jump from one place to another. That’s nightmare fuel, especially with the Diagona, and Gladiator.
Man when I realized that after maybe the third or fourth tryas a kid I couldn’t believe how pathetically easy they were. Even the Slave I is a joke when you just stay in it’s blind spot.
This will probably sound weird bc english isn't my first language, but I'm sure someone will remember this. A few years ago I had a copy of this game (for PC), and it had a bug when the AT-ST would suddenly stop and it's head would rotate ALL AROUND, and it could shoot you, no matter how hard you wanted to avoid it. Even trying to attack it from behind didn't work. I have no idea how I managed to defeat that thing. Luckily this only happened once or twice, but man, that was terrifying, and I was super confused when it happened for the first time!
Yeah I know what you mean. honestly when me and my brothers played this game with our friends when we where kids. We always had a lot of hard times trying to defeat the Gladiator droid.
I can't imagine if the character's voice used in this game is the same like quake game. I mean it's like"Waaaaagh, aaaaakh, uuuuggh, uuuueeegh, ooh,"😂😂😂😂😂😂
I hadnt figured out yet you could aim up so I jumped on the ledges at the side and shot him from higher up. Great memories of this game, to bad Lucas Arts did not finish SW:1313 that would have been a similar experience I think.
Playing this game again 25 years later. I was born in 87. Got the N64 for my 10th birthday. This game is pretty hard even for an long time gamer like me. If you die against a boss at the end of a level (and some of them are tough, even on medium difficulty), you have to restart the level from the beggining and try again. Try explaining that to today's kids. Most games today hold your hand like crazy.
Every boss, save for Boba, scared the hell out of me. IG-88 the most. His walking sounds and how he constantly hunted you had me screaming at my television. Giant Dianoga was a VERY close second. I feared the dark water so damn much. 😭😭😭😭
The trick to the bosses is to collect all the challenge points, extra lives and types of ammo and then use them all, appropriately. Also, you can beat the AT-ST without receiving any damage by attacking it from behind lol.
Yup no longer canon but when it was in continuity this took place during empire strikes backs beginning and during the one year after ESB and right before ROTJ being the prologue to ROTJ in the timeline
I don’t really remember IG88 being that hard because after I tried the stage once, I used a new strategy of just walking into there with as many lives as possible and stubbornly shooting the boss one life at a time. Eventually I did it on my last life
I remember being a teenager back then playing this game, being stoned out of my mind and absolutely cracking up when the "boss music" comes on. The regular music in general was funny, but the boss music just had me rotflmao for some reason. Weed used to make the most ordinary everyday stuff absolutely hilarious to me, but now I don't really get that intense of a reaction anymore. I barely even smoke the stuff nowadays honestly, and I'm a real lightweight. But even when I get really stoned on occasion, it hasn't gave me those type of reactions an a very long time.
i remember playing this game as a kid, i’d used to get scared on the first level lol! the hoth level was another type of scary for me when i was little
Oh yes the Jedi academy - knight series my favorite Star Wars games aside from rogue series in the original trilogy the knight series is the only thing I consider canon after ROTJ even though Disney rejected the old post canon
This was my first Star Wars game and it was before I even watched a movie. It was so cool to me at the time. You shoot lasers, missiles and other cool weapons. You can even fight in a ship or fly with a jetpack. I remember the IG-88 fight being really tough for me at the beginning. I even had some dreams of fighting it and losing constantly because the droid was so relentless. That pulse cannon melts health and Ord Mantell overall was a strangely stressful level from timing all the jumps and not fall off or take a bad train. The Gladiator was also another tough one for me since at the time, I had no idea that bosses could have many stages. I always save my disruptors for that thing.
As a kid, the dianoga boss and the level overall, was way to scary for me, so I just played it once. I bought the game again for PC and Im here trying an easy way to get around bosses, cos playing with keyboard sucks so hard, and now I realize you can kinda aim? Lmao, that will make game so much easier
I beat the slave 1 only once. It backed me up to one of those four corners at the bottom and it got so close to me that the I was standing in between the cannons. It couldn’t hurt me. Fire at will. Lol
I see alot of people commenting on IG-88 difficulty lol I SLAUGHTER him when I was a child he is scary but there is a cheese to it he cannot hit you at all and you can plug him
That's kinda why I liked that they took the approach that they did with Shadows of the Empire. You didn't get the full story just playing the game or reading the book; you had to get both of them to see what really went down and what really happened to Dash. It was great stuff.
