Okay, I just finished the Dark side ending. I won't bump this anymore promise.

Taking down Kyle was pretty groovy, but Jaden should have finished the job. The Dark Side is sloppy. All in all I liked the Light ending better.

Here's hoping there's addons for this one.

[Fury]

Well, I like the dark jedi ending more. Probably because of the star destroyer bridge scene.

Anyway, it's been rumoured that in next JK game you'll be playing Kyle again who chases evil Jaden.

[mikhael]

That'd be funny.

I hope whatever they do with the sequel or the add on, it keeps the same mission-tree structure. It was the best FPS level structure I'd ever seen.

That's what they all say.

You guys have really perked my interest. I hope JA will have gotten cheaper by the time I buy my new computer.

You really think you have to BUY the game if you wanna play it. J/K Yeah you need to buy it if you wanna play multiplayer of course.
Anyway, which PC config, do you have?

*shrug* I'm still partial to the hub system Raven started. Most games now do the seamless transitions that started with Hexen II, but they're very linear levels.

Mixing the mission tree structure with a few large hub-based levels I think would be the best mix.

I haven't read throught any of the post completely, so excuse if I write a thing far evident by now.

The story is already shot at Mysteries of the Sith, it just had a few other branches and focus. Outcast had far better story.
This 'Get to the sith temple(or anywhere else), where unlimited force is located' is VERY boring, and it is full with exegenerations.
But at least its difficulty is not exegenerated. It is easy. It is an advantage. The best thing is that all force powers are available in Single player, and are switchable. So if you no longer has use for one of your force powers, you can disable it.
The WORST mission ever designed was the one when you had to ride a Swoop(Advanced Speeder). Its difficulty is quite exegenerated, and the swoop is UNCONTROLABLE. The rancor reborns is quite weak. Additionally, every second of my enemies is a dark jedi. Exegeneration again. Light jedi with Sith(dual-bladed) lightsaber? Ehhhh .... no comment. We are playing light Darth Maul.

Didn't try the multi part yet, so I am talking about single player about 'being easy'.

[Razor]

I have just played the demo so far. Dual bladed saber 0\/\/NZ. It's the bets saber in the whole game. i just love that saber.

[Warlock]

Well I've managed to get as far as the first return trip to the academy,...but then the game errors out just prior to loading that scene


But so far I've been quite pleased, although MP mode is pretty boring :|

I heard they have power duel mode where you fight 2 on 1. That sounds cool I guess. That's the first thing I am gonna try out.

Top Ace, some days you boggle my mind. This game rocked.

The level where you were riding a swoop drove me nuts at first (I play racing games for vehicles. I play Jedi games for lightsabers). But later, I realized how important that level was. It broke up the slash-and-dash action. It gave you a whole different experience. Contrary to what you said, I felt that the level wasn't that hard. The Swoop was easy to control. The only thing I didn't like was that I had to put my lightsaber away to boost.

All the Jedi Knight games are exaggerated with power levels. Jaden becomes a full Jedi Knight in the course of 20 missions. Katarn became all powerful in Jedi Knight in about the same number. Its just supposed to be fun.

Finally, where did you get this crazy idea that the double-bladed saber was a Sith only weapon? You've confused "Maul had a double bladed saber." with "Since only Maul had the double bladed saber, only Sith have double bladed sabers.". There is nothing to back it up. If you want to stick to canon (IE just the movies) there is nothing to even SUGGEST that the double bladed saber is a Sith only weapon. If you want to deal with Star Wars titles other than the movies, then you'll notice that in one of the comic books there's a Jedi master with a Lightstaff. I believe you'll also find in the Jedi/Sith war issues, there are Jedi fighting with all sorts of light-blade style weapons, including batons and knives.

Where the hell have I told I don't like it. It is better than JK2 and JK1. The moves are good.

[RangerKarl]

Wouldn't a lightbaton just look like half a lightsaber? What's the point?

[TheCelestialOne]

Tried it, hated it. Not my style of game.

And on top of that, I detest anything that has something to do with SW. Its more fantasy then sci-fi.

[Setekh]

Probably easier to construct. Maybe some Jedi picked a small crystal by accident once and pretended he did it in purpose.

Umm... that does not say that saberstaff is a Sith only weapon. Actually it says that it was reserved for training purposes only until the fight between the two Jedi and Darth Maul. "Associations" states the only officially known saberstaff wielders.

But in any case, I am not an SW universe expert and I don't want to be one. In my opinion there's no real reason why a jedi can't use one if it is made like their normal sabers, by using natural crystals or whatever.

Because of this thread, I had an urge to start playing JA again. On hardest difficulty of course. I just love saberstaff, it's fun to kick cultists arses with it.

[TopAce]

Its name 'Sith Lightsaber'. I explains everything. If you ignore canon info(such as LucasArts), it can be used by a Jedi, too.

[Warlock]

Well if you refer to Lucusarts as cannon....then it is not a Sith only saber. Knights of the Old Republic-Bastilla,...Jedi Sentinel with a Double Bladed saber.

But anyways it's all up to the fan to decide, personally I don't see any reason of a saber with two blades being in and of itself a Sith weapon. Deathstar,...yes,...double bladed saber,..no.

[TopAce]

I stick to canon info. That's all. Let's end this 'Sith' saber or 'any' saber fighting here.

Enter deep meditation and calm down. This is true for all of us. Including me.

[mikhael]

Define 'Canon', TopAce. Is it 'just source TopAce' likes, or what?

I mean, come on: is the Star Wars RPG canon? Are only the movies canon? or the novels canon? Is the Star Wars Christmas Special canon? How about the Ewok movie? Clone Wars the cartoon? Or Droids the cartoon?

Look at it this way: that website you pointed to lists a Sith saber that happens to be double bladed. That does not mean that all double bladed sabers are Sith sabers. All AK-47s are machine guns, but machine guns are not all AK-47s.
