For me it's Jedi Knight II.
When I was a kid I got filtered by the confusing early level layout so I didn't like Outcast all that much. I loved Jedi Academy though, mainly because you got a lightsaber right at the start.
I'm more of a Dark Forces II guy myself

>>749875608I think Outcast is the better game overall but Academy is just so easy to pick up and immediately start having fun with it. Lightsaber and force powers right out the gate, can max out the powers you want very quickly, missions are short and sweet and you can even skip a few if you don't feel up for it. Absolutely based game for replays.
>>749875608I was too busy repeatedly beating the game with dismemberment on, all the force powers maxed out, and a lightsaber to care.The endless multiplayer duels on FFA_Bespin and the shenanigans on the fun maps like the Country Roads and TMBJ maps, too.
Say it
>>749875608It was nar shaddah for me, those thermal detonator guys always ruined my day.
>>749874440My PC could never run that when I was a kid...
>>749875608The first half of the game essentially being a subpar FPS is pretty bad yeah.
>>749876545It’s like poetry, it rhymes.
Episode 1 Racer was fun.
Katarn is a bitchJaden rules
I love Jedi Academy because the console lets you do fun stuff like this
I fucking hate the joy this small thread gives me. The only times I truly felt I enjoyed some Disney wars was watching Maul, and even that pales in comparison to the memories of games I played as a kid.Is there even any hope?
>smell ya later Jaden
>>749875753A man of taste. This game just feels great to play
>make first few levels without lightsaber>good in concept, and they are actually well designed levels>but don't let the player use any of the cool weapons from later that they won't bother with once they have a lightsaber>also make shooting feel like absolute dogshit for no reason>end up filtering new players for the next 25 yearsWhat the fuck were they thinking?Between being on the Quake 3 engine and Raven's last game (Star Trek Elite Force) having great feeling shooting it just seems so weird.
>>749879628It's refreshing going back through it now and seeing just how little it held the player's hand
>>749876506i used to play the demo on an old ass notebook back in the dayfound out you can spawn enemies in the pit in the demo starting area and just went to town with dismembermentgod that was fun
>>749874440I remember when the Jedi Academy demo came out and the last battle was against a sith acolyte but if you increased the difficulty it was against 2. Such a kino final fight I replayed it a billion times. They even had special behavior when you turned off your lightsaber they would do it too to mock you.
>>749875608>>749875889replaying both back to back and despite having this opinion as a kid now I have the opposite. academy is full of bullshit gimmick levels where you barely get to use your powers and most levels have way less enemies or thought out level design to instead be big empty walkways with 3 guys on them you wipe out instantlyit's hard to even argue that academy has better multiplayer when all it really ads are the dual/staff sabers which are way less interesting and way more spammy then the single saber with its multiple styles which literally everyone that was any good used online
>>749880048basedi miss star wars games like this
>>749878662both good but JO lets you do the same thingIt was fun spawning people in the Doomgiver's hangar and just cycling the airlock
>>749879952I really like the puzzles and exploration and whatnot, it's just the shooting genuinely feels awful.
>>749878886Did anyone manage to complete Jedi Academy on the light side path? I find it hard to believe anyone has the self control to not murder Rosh.
>>749880074idk i still really prefer jedi academy
>>749880370>>749878662You should use this then https://www.moddb.com/mods/swgl
>>749876680>subpar FPSLevel design aside, I appreciate the first part of the game, I actually liked shooting slow as fuck guns with cool visual and sound effects.
>>749875753thisi hated outcast and academytoo star warsy and gay
>>749876545I AM SO SORRY GEORGEYOU WERE RIGHT ALL ALONGPLEASE COME BACK
>>749878834Canon Alora at home and Jeanette voice
>>749874440Someone fi ally made a dynamic saber cutting mod for jedi survivor like metal gear rising and the last update removed denuvo a couple years ago. So I redownloaded it, get the dismemberment mod, get the cuts and sparks mod so the saber actually interacts with the environment, and now the game is fun. Only took like 3 years but we made it bros
>>749874440*Linkin Park starts playing*
This was the absolute peak of Star Wars. It was all downhill after this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C70nor1dcWI
>>749880578Yeah, I did. As a kid, I had this weird thing where it felt bad to be bad so I was always "good" in gameswell, even GTA felt visceralin fable and jedi academy I felt like a piece of shit if I was bad, so I was goodNow being bad is cooler
>>749874440I remember playing this when I was 8 passing the controller around with a group of friends. We had no idea what was going on, were completely lost in the first level and made 0 progress, and were frustrated that we didn't have a lightsaber and yet I fondly remember fumbling around with it.
>>749874440For is Ahsoka new season

Master Skywalker, Ross is getting on my nerves, I'm fearing the worst, can you help me
>>749880578Yeah as annoying as Rosh was as a kid I had this weird thing about not wanting to disappoint people I liked and Kyle begging you not to give in made it impossible for me to want to hurt Rosh. Was years before I could do the dark side ending. Had the same problem with KOTOR, Carth's whiny ass kept guilting me into only doing lightside stuff.
>>749888018For me it's Maul
>>749883623>too star warsyYou retarded nigger it is a star wars game. end your life.
>>749885786Its wild that this would be the peak, we still had a decade before disney came in but they couldnt top this. Even the aussies tried with the boomerang lightsabers and they were laughed out of the room.
>>749874440I really enjoyed Jedi Academy for the multiplayerStill remember my user name on there, "Uncle Tom Nigger"
Is there any good texture upgrades for JO and JA or should I just play it with the old stuff? How good is OpenJK? Is it easy enough to set up with pirated games?
For me it was force gripping stormtroopers and disintigrating them in beams of energy on Vjun
