Barricade24 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I'll be honest Dark Forces really has a special place in my heart so that gets my vote. Primitive as it may be, it is still special to me.
Mog Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Despite my love for JKA, I have always been a fan of JKO more than JKA. To put it simply...I enjoyed the story and I enjoyed the vibrant community that was created.
Corto Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Dark Forces as well as Shadows of the Empire, had stories that ran in parallel with the original trilogy. That and the fact that I was shocked when Dark Forces came out make it my favorite of all. Besides, I don't like what the force does to people.
katanamaru Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 JA.The addition of a staff saber in sp sealed the deal. The 'playermodel' and 'saber' commands just made it that much better! Custom characters and more saber fights! therfiles likes this
Circa Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I played JO before any of these games and loved it, but never owned it. I eventually got JA at Walmart in 2005 and didn't know it was even related to JO at the time until like a year or two later. Then I bought JO and loved them both. But JA will always be my favorite because of how often I played it and how I learned how to mod for it. I learned so much from it. It's all about the first experience. I'm sure if I had played DF first and most, I would have loved it the most. Although I'm more of a fan of playing as a Jedi/Sith.
Horatio Culver Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Man, this is hard. Let's see ... I like a lot of the improvements in Jedi Academy, like the dual sabers/saber staff, new force powers in SP, etc., and JKA is also a lot easier to mod, but it doesn't come close to Jedi Outcast's storyline and levels. I'll vote for Jedi Outcast, because I prefer the base game, but I like modding Jedi Academy more (especially since I've imported the Jedi Outcast levels into Jedi Academy).

Garyn Dakari Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 As far as unmodded campaigns go, Jedi Knight is my favorite, followed closely by Jedi Outcast. Anyone remember that JK level where you're inside a crashing ship and the entire level is rolling? That was awesome. However if we take mods and moddability into account...Yeah, Jedi Academy is the best. Though it easily has the worst storyline of the series, in my opinion. But, the poll is about the game itself, not a poll about what the community has done with the game, so I voted Jedi Knight. Arbok and Circa like this

Lazarus Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 To be honest, this is indeed a very hard one, however if I have to go all the way back to the very beginning, where my intrest in star wars comes from, I have to say Dark Forces. I played this at a friend who had this, and I totally loved it. I think it came on a bunch of floppy discs or so, I cant remember, but it was epic. A good shared number 2 is outcast / academy. Outcast for the story, academy for the varied ammount of weapons and saber stances. Dragon likes this
Angel Soul Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 LoooL - I'm the only one who likes MotS Hahahahah xD :D
MagSul Posted May 6, 2013 Author Posted May 6, 2013 I was beginning to wonder if it was going to manage a single vote.
Omicron Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Tough choice between JK2 and JKA for me... I had played JK2 first (on the gamecube) and it's campaign is much superior to the JKA one, but JKA has better MP in my opinion. Circa likes this
Futuza Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Due to the vague wording on the poll I picked JKA, but I might be persuaded to choose JK2 were the poll worded differently.
Azrael8472 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 The original Jedi Knight by far.Whilst Dark Forces will always hold a special place in my heart, the growth of Kyle Katarn into a fledgling Jedi and learning about his past got me hooked. That and of course the original Jedi Knight was before 'every bad-guy and his dog' had to be a Dark Jedi. There were only 7 in JK1 and each fight was memorable in its own way. And omfg, Deadly Sight and Force Destruction... Will never forget those. The story was also far better than its successors. Jedi Outcast added a very cheesy romance subplot and a wimpy villain and Jedi Academy's plotline was laughable at best. Jedi Knight all the way. Garyn Dakari, MagSul, Circa and 1 other like this

Monkee Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 As far as story, I really like JKO better; but as far as the multiplayer goes, it has always been Jedi Academy for me. Always. LOL So yeah JKA got my vote
Tempust85 Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Who the hell voted JKA? I hope you weren't meaning the story, NO ONE likes Rosh! Side note: Can we please kill Rosh in a very graphical & painful way in the recreation project if you choose dark side? Like, string him up to a post and smack him with a bat for an hour etc. Circa and Horatio Culver like this

I mean, imagine if there was no Rosh... would anyone talk about the story or characters, ever? The story is so dull and pointless that Rosh is the only thing that makes it memorable XP Futuza likes this

Hirmanator Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 DF and MOTS were pretty successful story wise. MP was still in its infancy for this series. but like any sequel the stories told in the beginning is what drew me to JKO and JKA. Without DF and MOTS. I wouldn't be here...
eezstreet Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Clearly people who don't think JK2 had a staff saber have clearly never heard of /thedestroyer.
