Are you talking about the 10 seconds of ass that they show?Xaositect said:Ive voted Mass Effect because I prefer the mature experience.
Just as they have been for what feels like the last 5 years. Not that I want to rush them. Wouldn't that be ironic?YuheJi said:I recently checked, and they're in closed beta.Amnestic said:Is Team Gizka finished yet by the way? \o/
"Identical gameplay-wise"? How do you figure?Singularly Datarific said:Soooo,
My bro is wondering which game is worth getting, so he wants to know which one is a better value, considering the 2 games are virtually identical gameplay-wise, as they use the same engine, and Mass Effect is essentially a copy of KotOR, attempting to copy the great game in a new universe.
Which would you choose?
That's the way I've always seen it. KotORII had so much potential, and was simply fantastic up to the end of the last time you go to Telos (depending on my mood, possibly just until the end of the last Choice Planet). It also tried to champion Grey Morality, which I love, as it was nowhere near as clear-cut as KotOR I. Not to mention it had the only cryptic-as-hell character I've ever seen pulled off well, hence my avatar. However, the ending just completely destroyed all that hard work, not to mention the fact that they kept hinting towards content that was cut (the HK factory). At least the first was more or less at an even level of Great the entire game, with a small jump to Fantastic with the twist.The Madman said:I'd say the original Kotor was the better game overall, but that Kotor 2 had the potential to be a better experience as strange as that sounds.NoMoreSanity said:I think I'm one of the few to actually like II more. The characters were much more well-established, HK somehow got even cooler, and the stories darker tone was done wonderfully.
Really Kotor's plot is basic stuff, a one trick pony who once you've gotten past the mid-game plot-twist quickly becomes standard fare storytelling. Luckily it's so well done and the characters are interesting enough to hide that truth and make the game just so damn fun you don't care once you have figured it out.
Kotor 2 had a much more complicated plot which rather than relying on a single *BAM* twist just had a much higher focus on proper story-telling and presenting various thought-provoking themes and ideas to the player. The characters were more realistic in many ways, more believable and less just a series of fun cutouts. But as a game Kotor 2 was also horribly unfinished and the ending, which should (And would have) cemented the game into peoples minds was instead made a rushed, confusing mess.
That's my view on it anyway. Kotor is the better of the two, but Kotor 2 had the potential to be much, much better if only it had met it. I'm still grumpy with Lucasarts over the last-minute rush job they pulled! Could have been so awesome!
As for Kotor vs. Mass Effect. Hmmm.... They're both fantastic, I can't choose.

Its virtually impossible for me to choose one.
That really doesn't get old. I would press X while I run almost all the time. I can't imagine the game without it.Faps said:KotOR wins by a nose simply because it has HK-47, the ability to be evil not just renegade and because pressing X to make your lightsabers spin round and go wooooshhooo never gets old.
I agree. Both are inferior to NwN 1, especially since, you know... it's online, and they are single-player only.ace_of_something said:I loved KotOR. Though I still vote for Neverwinter Nights which the KotOR system is losely based on.
No Im talking about dealing with themes and motives other than "I IS TEH EVILZORZ!!one!11!" and "IM BLINDED BY MY DESIRE TO NEEDLESSLY DO GOOD".Stevanchez said:Are you talking about the 10 seconds of ass that they show?
