>DUDE, what if Darth Vader had like this secret apprentice>And his name was Star Killer; wouldn't that be so cool bro!?!?>And like he's so powerful, like more powerful than Luke and Vader combined and he's like secretly actually the chosen one?>And also like, he's the reason the rebel alliance come together?>AND DUDE, what if he could pull star destroyers out of the atmosphere? Wouldn't that shit be sooooo cool?????Star Wars fans have always been retarted and Star Wars has been shit for a long time. It didn't take Disney to ruin this franchise but they did make it super obvious how creatively bankrupt it was.
>>220778299He was cooler and better than all characters in the nu-sequels combined though
>>220778299Yes, 90% of the EU has been retarded. >>220778323>Drinking piss is better than eating cowshit!Wow, what an endorsement of quality
wrong board faggot
>>220778299>And what if hes also a brown mutt?
>fun little standalone fanfiction video game>spergs mad bc it doesn't fit the Lore and Powerlevels (tm)
>>220778299>I'm Star Killer, and I am of the Force
>>220778299Sci-fi always has something for everyone. Non autists had that doom ripoff about the robot stormtroopers, jedi power battle, and the original battlefrontsForce unleashed was autismfare for the deviantart faggits
>>220778374These fanfiction tier games were fun and I bet a lot of people still fondly remember them.
>>220778299These games weren't great. Everybody knew they weren't great. They were just gratuitous powerfantasy set in Star Wars and it worked. Who cares if the story sucked, the gameplay was amazing.
>>220778299It's over for Star Wars
>>220778299These kind of nonsensical EU games were the bread and butter of SW gaming.
>>220778299>non-canon game that want to be fun for the player>canon sequels that want to shit on the long time fans gee
>>220778299>and his name was star killerHow embarrassing for all Involved
>>220778299That was a boring game.The combat system was just shit.
>>220778299People weren't too happy about it at the time but now it looks like high art compared to what came after.
>>220778719That’s because people’s standards have fallen so precipitously that something considered slop 10 or 20 years ago looks good in hindsight
Every piece of Star Wars side content had Mary Sue/self insert slop in it, and then with the sequels they had the main series become Mary Sue/self insert slop.
>>220778404>fanfiction tier games it wasn't fan fiction tier though, Lucas had all of Lucasfilm involved with Shadow of the Empire it's rollout was in preparation for TPM. He only disowned the EU in hindsight, not when it was making him millions.
>>220778299shut the fuck up you FUKCING FAGGOT RETARD NIGGER OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU HATE VERYTHING
>>220778705I disagree, I never found many games that allow you to manipulate objects like you could with the force in this game. Having a physics based way to kill almost anything was way ahead of its time. The melee was very basic though compared to contemporaries like Devil May Cry or even the more basic God of War that it was directly copying, yes.
>>220778827Not only the physics were ahead of its time, there's literally no other major game uses such physics based engines besides Rockstars GTA and RDR games
>>220778874>Not only the physics were ahead of its time, there's literally no other major game that have such that use such physics based engines besides Rockstars GTA and RDR gamesAnd you still left Rockstars as plural instead of making it possessive.
>>220778404Oddly enough, your game and this game had opposite problems. If you’re going to make an OP character, you sequester them to a remote section of the IP that can’t touch anything else. If you’re going to make a balanced and boring character, you let him touch the main canon to compensate. TFU touched main canon and had to be excised from canon to make it make sense. SotE didn’t do anything to the main canon but also had a mostly boring character that wouldn’t have ruined things anyway.
>>220778404The old Star Wars video games were generally good because LucaArts was making them and they had enough people on the teams to tell each other when the story was stupid and also it was a time where video games stories were light anyway. Compare with all the shit ton of books where the authors had more freedom to make poor decisions.
>>220778299Your AAA game protagonist had to be a bald marine back in this era or it wouldn't sell
>>220778419bullshit. force unleashed was a meme game for wiitardsthe jedi knight games, x-wing vs tie fighter, rogue squadron were the bread and butter games. and a short while later you had console stuff like star wars demolition and the phantom menace game on ps1, then next gen with kotor, battlefrontforce unleashed doesnt hold a candle to any of those
>>220779258empire at war too
>>220779258And now 6/10 power fantasy sloppa like Force Unleashed is the template while games like Rogue Squadron don't exist
>>220778299Ackshually it's "Starkiller" a single word which was going to be Luke's last name in the early drafts of Star Wars.
>>220778299truke
Star Wars fucking sucks only the first movie was good
>>220778299Sam Witwer a cute
>>220779035>because LucaArts was making themNot really, SW got licensed to other studios all the time. It's probably more that you had a degree of funding and quality control from Lucas Games and ultimately George Lucas himself while still giving freedom to devs to make the game they envision. Disney has traditionally been averse to the game industry and very selective with who gets to do anything with the IP.
>>220778653>>220778374>>220778932what's this new "noncanon" cope I keep seeing? it was absolutely canon back in the day before disney. sure lucas could shit all over it if he decided to make a movie that contradicts it but until that is was canon.>uhhhm that actually means that I pretend it's not part of the universethen why even bring up canon then you fucking retards? just say so.
>>220779258i played basically every other star wars game from around then, even power battles and that weird obi wan game. maybe i was too old when force unleashed came out but i never played it because it looked gay. maybe that's sam witwer's fault i dunno. star wars episode 1 pod racer, now that's a star wars game
>>220778299Yeah and it was super cool eat shit
>>220778299Who cares the first game was fun and the second game was pure over the top fanfiction kino.
>>220778299novelization fixes most of power level stuff and sidious arrogance being the reason behind alliance coming together is pure kino
>>220779578Star Wars fans don't like fun.
Darth Icky
>>220778299It honestly was a cool premise though. And it ticked a lot of classic star wars boxes. Including wacky robot companion, unique main character spaceship, wise jedi mentor and hotshot pilot love interest. If it had proliferated DMM technology it would have been a milestone in both gaming and star wars history. Also he had a basic star wars name: Galen Marek. In short this story had more love and care put into it than nu starwars combined.
>>220778299The fact that Lucas was there to oversee how they treated Vader will always make it more "canon" than the shitty sequels.
>>220778404Lucas liked Shadows of the Empire so much he outright said that, if not for the fact he was already working on the Prequels, he would've adapted it onto the big screen.
>>220782520Where did he say that? Bring me source.
>>220778335You are a 100% retarded faggot and so is OP.
>>220778299The game sucks but it's honestly cringekino.
>>220778299I fucking loathe Witwer.
>>220778411This. Super OC donut steel power fantasy slop but it was fun as fuck so it worked. Tempted to replay it now desu
>>220778299Yeah this was pretty bad, still not even close to as shitty as nuwars though
>>220778299It was fun, especially the what if DLCs. And it had pretty impressive RAGE engine usage at the time
