  1. Great idea! Reminds me of some other games where the camera stands still, but the character starts shaking a particular body part when you start editing it. Whoever came up with that idea was a twat, honestly!
  2. that's a damn fine-looking Leia though...wouldn't mind being her Han Solo
  3. don't much care for the baton or shield (or saber at that), but the trooper is wicked!
  4. still feel bad about the big and ugly, he was just hungry! and the piggy too though
  5. I loved the game, wanted to make some maps in the level designer, but never had much success
  6. What about that fighting game from the 90s? Masters of Teras Kasi? I didn't play it, but I think I'd love it Many people severely criticized it though.
  7. hey, I just realized (I'm slow, I know) that Vanquisher has to have two hilt options, because of its design
  8. hah! have to try that too sometime!
  9. When I first played JA, I think I selected Firebrand, don't know why, must have been the huge red button on the top and the strange design. Later I went with Praetor and tried Sentinel (though I didn't like it). With Rooxon's HD saber-pack I came to love the Consul and have been using it ever since. That being said, I mostly play with staff-saber, so Champion (and minilogoguy18's 'broken' Champion) are my two ultimate favourites (though the 'broken' staves are mostly all good - a 'broken' Vindicator kinda reminds me of Stinger (the Reborn saber) ). Oh yeah, also selected Katarn, because apparently, everyone's favourite character had to get the coolest single hilt (and ditch his Arbiter, for whatever reason). Luke's saber looked too 'squished' somehow - in the movie it was thinner and longer. I think part of the problem with the single hilts is not their size or impractical design (come on, as if anyone's supposed to successfully hold half of those hilts!) but their positioning in the wielder's hand - for some reason they're held by their lower end. Someone actually addressed this and re-positioned them to be held 'properly', and I only wish someone would combine that mod with Rooxon's HD sabers (hey, a man can wish ). The size bit, I just pretend that since Luke's New Jedi Order used standardized hilts, the wonky sizes and designs were to accommodate the non-human species as well. Also: Yay! We got a new poll! Thank you admins!
  10. The TFU games were great from the technology point of view. TFU1's story wasn't brilliant, but it was good. Some say it wasn't original, but what story is original anymore? Not even A New Hope was. Some say the protagonist was overpowered, but what if the Force really is supposed to be that way, and all the other media simply couldn't make it thus? Or what if Galen was just that special? It really didn't bother me. TFU2 was bad, the writing was pathetic, the game was too repetitive, and I personally didn't like the Jar'Kai bit. Fun fact: When I installed TFU1, it was very demanding on graphics, even on minimal setting, and there was a lot of glitching and lagging. TFU2 wouldn't even run, I'd get a "Your computer isn't strong enough to run this game" message. Then, after I reinstalled Windows, TFU2 would run even better than TFU1 even on high settings! Talk about BS! Of the Jedi Knight games, JA really pales when compared to JO - the story is way better, the scripting, the cutscenes - only thing JA does indeed better is the variety when it comes to skins, models, sabers, and force powers. Of the KotOR games, K2 is the superior one, it's just so much deeper! In K1 the "big" revelation wasn't all that big - it was predictable, and the game felt kinda superficial. Still, I liked K1 too, and wouldn't call it bad. TOR, as much as I hate it, was technologically great. But much like TFU2, it was ruined by bad writing and stupid decisions. Didn't play Kinekt, have no consoles, though I really want to. I really can't judge how bad the Han Solo song was, but honestly, since I don't like club music, I probably wouldn't like most songs there anyway I think we can all agree that most of the aforementioned sequels are really bad not because of the devs themselves, but because of LucasArts rushing development.
  11. Since I haven't read the Dark Forces novel, and haven't played every game with Kyle, I can't be the one to judge. Nor do I know how hard it was for Kyle and Jan to steal the Death Star plans (especially since you're saying that in the game it was a walk in the park). So I guess I'll go with Rogue One. Sure, the movie had its flaws, but Cassian was more 'real' than Kyle, I think, and not because he's got his own movie. Jyn and Jan, I really don't know who's better...maybe it's because Jyn didn't get as much development as Jan had, I don't know.
  12. Don't y'all think we need a new poll?

      Yes, make a poll about the need for a new poll! :P

      Yay! Thanks yous! :)

  13. Actually I have. Remember the infamous Lady Jedi? Back in the day, I took some of the models from there and brought them into JA, and they worked no problem, so I kinda have to agree with Ramikad on this one.
  14. is there really that much a difference between a JA and JO model?
  15. looks good, but I doubt anyone will make him
  16. Maybe people need to rotate? (is that the proper word?) You know, like when the first group of people get tired or bored, they're replaced by a second group, permanently or temporarily, and then back. In the end, the project gets finished with the people who are indeed into the project, be they from the first or the second group. Of course, everyone'll have to be given credit (long as they actually did work on the project).
  17. ooooh, nice! reminds me of this actually (I think I already posted at some point): https://youtu.be/uIJOVGIFTzw
  18. https://youtu.be/u_W3VykYhWA https://youtu.be/gWO7hkoPI-I https://youtu.be/1upZz3a-7iM
  19. No idea who this character is supposed to be (or what Darksiders II is at that matter), but I salute your good work! (and the fact that we got to have a non-Star Wars character for a change )
  20. I actually wanna play this! But I'd probably end last place because of all the lag I always get in MP
