Is KOTOR Worth Playing in 2023?

Ойын-сауық

After two years, the KOTOR Remake has yet to see the light of day. So as we continue to wait, it begs the question: Is KOTOR Worth Playing in 2023? Or should you wait for the KOTOR remake and skip the original?

    Truthfully, my favorite personal experience in all of Star Wars came to me while playing this game for the first time, at ten years old. I was on Rakata Prime, nearing the end of the game. As I fought through all of the sith and droids in the ancient temple, I was simultaneously looking back upon my journey and how I got to where I was in the game, remembering places such as bustling Taris and grim Korriban. After I had killed all of the bad guys in the temple, I made my way to the top. Once I reached it, a familiar, beautiful soundtrack played. It was Bastila Shan’s theme from way back on Taris. This hearing of such an angelic and nostalgic song, here, at the end of my journey, was too much me. I started crying tears of not sorrow, but of nostalgia and happiness. It was such an impactful moment for me that whenever I replay the game and get to the top of that temple, I tear up a little. KotOR truly is the best game ever made in my eyes, and words can’t describe how hyped I am for the remake 😁

    It is difficult to explain exactly, but for me, my favorite experience in KOTOR is the feeling of sanctuary and freedom that I feel in the Ebon Hawk. It is more than a ship, it is a companion that provides a sense of security and respite from the ordeals encountered on hostile worlds. The takeoff and landing sequences for each world set the tone for the coming struggle or reward a hard fought milestone punctuating your success over each chapters challenges. The Ebon Hawk is more than a ship, it is Home.

    And Jedi Knight 1 and 2, and X-wing vs Tie Fighter. There were so many greats, it seems like the more modern Star Wars gets the worse it gets though, I remember X-wing vs Tie Fighter being the best flight sim due to the 1st person perspective where you got to look around the cockpit, as a kid it made me feel like I was really in the action. That, and your ship wasn't overpowered. You were as weak as everyone else which really brought you into the action.

    It's so weird to think this game is 20 years old. I will never forget, when I was 10, I got my first HP laptop, and I was really happy, and my dad had installed KOTOR on it. Now growing up, I didn't play nearly as many video games as I did watch movies or TV shows, so the few games I played were really special to me. KOTOR was one of those games. It was the first RPG I ever played, and the game that made RPGS my favorite game genre, and it also advanced my love for Star Wars in a way that the movies just couldn't reach at the time, and also was what really got me obsessed with Legends over Canon Star Wars. And to this day, KOTOR is the ONE game I feel like I could literally never get tired of replaying ever, and if I had to pick one game for a desert island, it would absolutely be KOTOR. This was an amazing video Luke! I would love to see a video where you talk about your experience with KOTOR 1 and 2 and how you got into those games. #100Khype!!

I was initially one of those turned off by the gameplay but I gave it another chance and became totally immersed in the story and characters. It still amazes me that these came out before the prequel trilogy was even finished. It saddens me knowing everything Revan and Meetra accomplished and how it basically meant nothing in SWTOR

Not always the case with SWOTOR The only way to be desapointed with KOTOR 1 or 2 for a Sat Wars fan, is if you wanted a game in which digital skills, quickness of reaction,... is important. The gameplay is a but updated but not without interest anyway. KOTOR is a turn by turn game where only strategy, equipment and party matters. If you wany to story first and foremost you can play in easy mode and you'll win every combat easily. The hard mode is more challenging, but no necesity to be a hardcore gamer to go through it.

I played this game so much that I literally ruined my system and I have no regrets. This is, without a doubt, my favorite Star Wars game ever! Yes, I love other Star Wars games like Jedi Academy, Fallen Order, Survivor, etc. but, KOTOR is THE Star Wars game of Star Wars games. I couldn't recommend this game enough. Easily, my favorite Star Wars experience was just playing this game. I can't tell you how many hours I put into the game and how much fun I had playing it.

    My favorite moment is the Rebuilt Jedi Enclave. It is beautifully executed with a tremendous soundtrack, along with a depressing yet beautiful gray ambience. And all that is revealed, how all of it goes completely compatible with what Kreia believed the Jedi to be, how even her gets surprised by discovering that Meetra survived giving up the Force not because of free will, but because she was afraid. All that for me it’s perfect.

    I do remember remember a lot of moments from Star Wars that I experienced. Though my personal favorite will always be listening to Canderous Ordo's War Stories and discovering your true identity in KOTOR 1, but also the plot twist of KOTOR 2. Also, I really do hope that the remake will be good and another reason for more Old Republic Era stuff to be brought back to the Canon. Like the story of Revan, the Mandalorian Wars, etc. I will always cherish the experience I had playing the original, even if the remake surpasses it. I'm still wondering how they will retell Revan's story. My only hope is that they don't change it too much. Though it would be cool if they added Exogol as one of the many Sith Worlds mentioned, but not shown. Basically another Malachor V, mixed with Star Forge.

    When i first bought this game i was coming from Jedi Academy games and was looking forward to another action rpg. When combat started and it paused i was a little disappointed. But then the story and the characters pulled me in. I think this way combat works makes it even more immersive. You have to build up your character to become stronger. Not rely on your itchy trigger fingers and fast mouse and best everyone you meet at lvl 1. The story and the depth of the characters pulled me into this game and kept me there. Spoiling every other game thats lacking in character depth. Mass Effect is nice but compared to KOTOR the characters are very shallow besides a few lines here and there.

    literally just finished playing k2 and k1 (modded) these last 10 days or so.... mustve played k1 vanilla over a dozen times. never played k2 prior to then. for these two playthroughs, i went ahead with the RCM for k2, and a spoiler-free modpack for k1, just to get a new "feel" to the game. that being said: 1) i still couldnt recommend k1 enough to most people. its the best star wars game ive ever played (with jk2 in a close second), and probably the best game ive ever played in general. even 20 years later, there isnt a game i cherish more than k1. id recommend it to ANYONE who has even any semblance of knowledge about the sw universe, and even those who are completely new to it, it can still be an awesome game that can introduce you to the world, given the chronological order of events anyways... 2) k2 - even with the RCM, did not feel like a finished or polished game in terms of the actual content / adventure in the game (which i guess is to be expected, given k2's background), but the writing feels extremely compelling. i would still recommend it just as much as k1, but they are two very different games, despite taking place within very recent chronological proximity to one another, as well as with the respective MC for each game being (small spoiler) closely tied to one another... k1 is an all-around masterpiece. you learn about the universe and all of its beauties... you go through an adventure that flows so incredibly well. canonically, you end up as the hero of the galaxy, and along with all of these awesome companions - some of which are integral to that era - you vanquish the immediate threat and save the day... ...that is, until you play k2. there, you learn about the horrors of the universe... about some insidious threat that is lurking far away, in the deepest and darkest places of the galaxy, and how it has been influencing all of the events of the old republic era, and that the true enemy of the galaxy is more than meets the eye. but we never learn what EXACTLY that enemy is... unfortunately, if you want to learn WHAT that enemy is, you have to do some reading or play swtor (for better or for worse). im sure if there was a k3 it wouldve been something that pieced all of this together and wrapped up most of the story handily, but we never got that. regardless, both games are still timeless classics - i feel like if you are a major sw geek, these are both MUST play games no matter how different it may seem from todays games / environment. worst case, you walk away with a set of games you didnt enjoy but you learn a lot of deep lore, and best case, you might end up feeling like you just played two of the best games of all time - as did the majority of consumers that have played the games for the first time over the last two decades. also worth of a note: both of these games have two of the best plot twists you will experience in games - assuming you are a first time player of each and going in with no info. k1 is the most complete of the two, but k2 makes up for its rough edges with one of the best written characters in video game history, and a lot of subtle details and / or questions that it leaves you wanting to know the answer to...

I still have both games in their original packaging and play them from time to time (always as the canon storylines). If I were to pick favourite moments from both games: The Revan reveal and then later post-battle scene with Bastila on the Star Forge from KOTOR, then in KOTOR 2 the Visas Marr introduction cinematic video where you hear Darth Nihilus speak for the first time and later the battle with Darth Sion in the Trayus Academy on Malachor V.

    I remember playing this game on PC almost 20 years ago in like in 2004 and completing it and really enjoying it. With the PC version you really need to install the community made stuff like the patches etc to really get the most out of the PC version of the game and to make it function because the PC version of KOTOR now a days on modern system can be very troublesome. Also I am glad the the Switch version of KOTOR 1 exists because it gives you an alternative way to play the game that is hassle free. I started KOTOR2 a long time ago but never finished it. Also there are PC handhelds that exist now that you can play the PC version on the Go like the Steam Deck and the ROG Ally for example.

I think every Star Wars fan should enjoy the stories from the old republic(Games and books). As for the gameplay(lightsaber action), well I’ll put it this way: “I don’t hate it but I don’t love it”. I prefer the combat style from other games(like Outcast or Survivor). And of course I would change the look of the Jedi robes from KOTOR 1.

    I have so many moments where Star Wars has blown my mind... but honestly they all come from books that are now Legends. I first watched the OT when I was around 4 years old. I can't even remember my first time watching any of them. My earliest memory with Star Wars is looking at my aunt's VHS boxed set and picking which one I wanted to watch that time (RotJ) and my cousin being annoyed that I always picked that one lol. And my next main memories are getting a library card so I could check out the VHS movies to watch at home lol. But one of the big things I loved from the books was learning that Obi-Wan was basically a failed Jedi trainee. He had gotten too old without ever having been picked by a master to train under so they were going to send him to a colony world where he could use his force powers to keep crops healthy and basically become a farmer. Qui-Gon actually looked at him and turned him down as an apprentice despite Obi-Wan basically begging him. But then Qui-Gon, on a new mission, ended up on the same transport as Obi-Wan, headed to his new home, when it came under attack and they had to work together to get out of that situation and Qui-Gon realized he should train Obi-Wan. I love that concept/history. And the same book series shows how surrounded Qui-Gon was by the dark side of the Force. His first and only other apprentice, Xanatos, had become a dark Jedi. His master, Dooku, turned Sith. And what would've been his third apprentice, Anakin, also turned Sith. Obi-Wan is the only one who stayed true. Then the Jedi Academy series of books really opened my mind up to the possibilities that you have with the power of the Force. People complained about some of the powers in the Disney movies, but none of them were new for Disney. They pulled a lot from Legends, which is ironic since people had complained about stuff no longer being canon, but when Disney does it and makes it canon again they say the ideas are stupid... (Like Palpatine returning) Anyways... abilities like controlling the weather. Not like X-Men's Storm who can just summon up tornadoes and thunderstorms. But that using the Force to push and pull air currents to create the turbulent interactions that cause certain weather effects. Or when Mon Mothma was poisoned and they couldn't find a cure, a Jedi was able to meditate deeply enough to find and focus on every harmful molecule of the poison and drag it out through the skin to heal her. Or another Jedi surviving exposed in space by ejecting from their fighter while using the Force to hold the pressurized atmosphere from the cockpit around them, and then going into deep hybernation/meditation to make the limited air supply last long enough for a rescue.

    One thing I like more about KOTOR 1 more than 2 (other than Bastila) is those dark jedi ambush points, its such a surprise when it first happens, but then I look forward to them on replays and make sure i'm geared up and ready to kick their butts. Even the voice acting for the line is so good, anyone that has played will remember the way he says it. "Lord Malak was most displeased when he learned you had escaped Taris alive. He has promised a great reward to whomever destroys you."

Especially the second game has not only one but several choises that really makes you understand the plot in its full light.

    I played Kotor for the first time this year thanks to it being available on iOS. I was hooked from beginning to end. The story and characters were top notch, and I even enjoyed the gameplay quite a bit. I’m not usually a fan of turn based games (although early Final Fantasy somehow manages to get me to enjoy it) but like games like FF7, it does enough changes to that formula where it feels less like a “I swing my sword once then I stand here and wait for you to hit me back” kind of combat system to more of a “Ok, if I pause the game here and use this skill, it is possible I can counter their attack before it actually hits me” kind of game… and that’s super compelling to me. Maybe it’s because it reminds me of World of Warcraft, but I genuinely enjoy the way Kotor’s combat works, even if I do tend to prefer more action type combat systems like Jedi Fallen Order or Kingdom Hearts. I’m typing a whole essay at this point though… basically, I just played Kotor and it’s amazing and I’m obsessed and I’m currently hooked on Kotor 2 as well. I’m glad we can still experience these legendary games even after all this time.

    My personal favourite experience from Star Wars is either The Empire Strikes Back or Andor. I was shown the OT was I was about 4 years old (just as ROTS came out in cinemas) and I was in love ever since. Even at that young age, I was astounded by the music, characters, story and the visuals, and Empire does this the best out of the 3. Watching Andor having grown up was such a delight. For me, Andor carries that same magic that the OT did, and I truly think it is the best piece of Star Wars media since ESB. I’d say KOTOR is my next favourite, but it’s all very close between that, Andor and ESB.

    I ve played Kotor 2 in 2006, when I was about 9 years old. It was my first Star Wars videogame ever, apart from some GBA Games. And I loved this whole experience in the same way, like I still do! It s such a pleasure to enjoy the world building, the atmosphere and the awesome stories, main & side as well. Kotor 1 is also a banger too imo, but I no as much as part 2 still is, especially with TSLRCM. An other great game experience I feel by playing the Jedi Knight series, apart their shitty graphic in the first 3 games. 😅 Anyway the worldbuilding and atmosphere is top. And most important, the story round about Kyle Katarn and Jaden Korr is just as pleasant as the gameplay. I also like Disney‘s Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor very much. At least I ve to say that the PS2 version of Revenge Of The Sith is also making pretty fun, even nowadoys. 👌🏻

    My favorite moment in Star Wars? I'd have to say when I first saw, in the ROTS 2 Disc Special Edition DVD, the "A Hero Falls" music video. I cried my eyes out as my life was pretty miserable back then and the tears were hella therapeutic. I watched the special features discs of AOTC and ROTS thoroughly multiple times in those days (yes I know, I'm an uber nerd and I'm proud, btw) But of all those special features, that music video really got me through some hard times. I do want to take this opportunity to humbly mention my YT channel, KOTOR Extraordinaire. I don't upload every week, but I try to hit most Fridays.

Exploring the ancien sith graves on korriban. as you said it is truely a great rpg your choises matter and affect the world around you in a way I've never seen in any other game. For example getting banned from manaan. Or destroying the sith academy by not letting anyone to lead them left. The game may not be as big as these open world games nowerdays but its so deep in story and combat strategys that you want to play it again and again just to see what comes out if you choose that other option.
