Damn, Jedi Outcast used to be my favorite game for a looooong time. I remember so many online sessions and LAN parties with one on one lightsaber duels.
We'd always bow at the beginning of a duel. So many awesome memories, what a game.
Hellll yeah, such a great community. Very few games come close to the experience I had with it
It's where I learned that "XD" was a smiley-laughing face. Ah, to be a young preteen having his first introductions to certain internet slangs
I also enjoyed doing that trick where if you strafed right at the right time after the saber was coming back to you, it'd keep circling you.
When they announced new star wars like 10 years ago I really hoped for a Kyle Katarn story. Seeing what they've done though I'm glad they left him alone
Yeah, but the blaster bits before you get a lightsaber, ugh.
The 'relative' aiming system just really puts me off.
Yeah, storywise it makes sense and it sucks to play through
I kind of enjoyed the getting used to the weapons part. Probably the first game I had to use so many buttons for. 1-9 were guns, f1-f8 force powers, by the time I got to Jedi Academy having mouse buttons 4 & 5 mapped to specific force powers was a necessity
Academy was so wierd, some parts were good, others were halfbaked. I do remember it as fun though
This guy used to have the broccoli cut
Oh and he was live action
That was just the standard attractive white male actor in the 90s. Even Pierce Brosnan had that cut when he was James Bond.
Also, I think the sides are a little too long and the top not nearly curly enough to be considered a broccoli cut, but I'm also quite blind to these sorts of fashion trends so maybe I'm wrong.
No you're right. I thought Brosnan's was shorter but maybe Jonathan Frakes would count as this too.
I retract my statement
He's not amused
Just yesterday, I started Zelda BoTW for the Nth time.
I know it's not as old as this meme, but damn, it is 9 years old.
Edit: Well the meme is probably a day old, but you get what I mean.
Recently I've been playing through games that I couldn't afford as a kid, or my parents couldn't afford to buy for me. For example I never really played SNES because according to my parents I already had a nintendo (NES). I downloaded a SNES emulator and have been playing Chrono Trigger, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, Maui Mallard etc. I've been having fun.
Oh, the SNES has some amazing gems. If you like Chrono Trigger you should deffo try the old Final Fantasies as well.
Star Wars Galaxies Emu is still going strong, and is more recently undergoing a massive renovation with one private server expanding/reworking parts of it.
Joke's on you. I replayed Outcast and Academy just last month with the Team Beef VR mod.
Gah, I need to do that one still- it got updated to work with PCVR as well, right? I am curious how it works with the saber dismemberment set to max, so touching anything is an instakill. Playthroughs with that were so tense in the last few missions
I played Outcast like that, and it makes lightsaber battles a cakewalk when you have perfect control of the motions. A "reality ensued" moment for sure. For Academy I switched to "beef recommended" settings, and yeah, that was much better balanced.
Just did a run through Freelancer.
Might hop on the Dosbox and fire up EGA Trek later.
Everytime I fire up Freelancer I love love love it. It's an incredibly good game. Pity that Crossfire is such a monstrous increase in difficulty from the get-go, I am still stuck on the first missions because I keep giving up.
Have you ever played its prequel, Starlancer?
Oh - that was the prequel? No, as a matter of fact, I have not. Does it run as well on wine as Freelancer?
I wish it were easier to mod current-gen QoL features into older games.
Burnout 3: Takedown holds up so well though
What kind of QoL features do you mean? Gameplay features?
This past month, I set up JKII to run in super ultrawide with high res textures and fixing the reticule position by dragging and dropping a few files.
Set up Splinter Cell Enhanced to glow up the PC version of the game.
There are other examples, like the X-Wing / TIE mods.
In these cases, my own goal has been to adapt the games to modern systems / formats while preserving the core gameplay.
Are you kidding me, i have installed Morrowind, Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas, GTA San Andreas and Saints Row 2 on my new Build...
Ok i admit, i mod the shit out of them, but still...
I'm currently replaying KOTOR.
Also, Jedi Outcast in VR is awesome!
Yeah, ever port team Beef did is a master piece (except for Quake 2, but i still love the game itself, is enought to keep me playing)
I'm currently playing all of the Ratchet & Clank games in rpcs3, upscaled to 4k resolution. They look and play great! 😍
After that, it's gonna be time for the Jak & Daxter series in the OpenGoal engine.
I've been replaying "Divinity, Original Sin" for the past few weeks and I've been having a blast with it
Somehow i still like D:OS more than D:OS 2, probably because the armor system
They were better, but I already played them too much and I can't replay them every year.
I play my PS2 emulator more than my $10,000 steam library these days. Kinda just waiting for GTA 6
I've already played them!
speak for yourself, finished BGI, playing BGII
I've actually been playing old games I never got to play back in the day, like Arma 2, og OFP, and Star Wars Galaxies. Also got into Guild Wars 1/reforged. It's a shame young me threw a fit over the no shared open world, because it is one of the best games and best communities I've ever encountered.
I'm actually playing Shadows of the Empire on PC for the first time, am on the first Coruscant level (sewers). I think the worst the game had is behind me (Gall Spaceport and Beggar's Canyon).
I really should go back and finish Jedi Outcast.
I'm waiting for Aspyr to remaster Jedi Knight - Dark Forces 2.
I just played Doom 2016 yesterday. I can't believe that's ten years old now... both because damn, time flies, but also it has great graphics, better than most games today imho
