Is this objectively one of the 12 greatest games of all time?
no but 2 is
> Le KOTOR 2 meme
Literally the equivelent of crying about Majora's Mask being better than OOT, despite being a blantant rehash & downgrade in most aspects
No, it's not even one of the top 12 RPGs of all time
2 is unfinished
1 is refined and based
also the jedi knight games are better
no. a star wars game will never be. the choices between dark and light are not interesting enough. it's the licence that holds that stuff back. also you cant fuck mission
No, it's not even one of the top 12 Star Wars games of all time.
fpbp
Absolutely.
It has its flaws but what it makes up for, it produces a game virtually equal in quality to the first KOTOR. Nevertheless, I wouldn't place it above the first game.
Dead wrong. KOTOR, either one, is easily one of the top 5 RPGs EVER produced. They have no rivals.
>2 is unfinished
>1 is refined and based
It's not that 2 is unfinished but it is somewhat unrefined due to lack of time.
1 is not a perfect game by any means though, as 2 easily polished its worst aspects.
brainlet post and opinion.
Both KOTOR games suck.
>KOTOR, either one, is easily one of the top 5 RPGs EVER produced
You haven't played a lot of RPGs then.
Yes. Also Bastilla is taken faggots she is MINE.
Name two games better.
Same some better games then and why they are better.
KOTOR has everything you could want in an RPG.
Cast her.
Zooey Deschanel?
One of my favorite RPG's of all time, but objectively it's far from being perfect. Jedi Sentinel is all but useless, the Feat system is shallow, they cut the Pazaak tournament, and the game is too easy even on the hardest difficulty.
Just look at every classical crpg, they're all better.
Brunette Margot Robbie. EZ cast
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind has to be on that list.
>Jedi Sentinel is useless
no?
>the Feat system is shallow
way better than modern perk systems, hands down
you're also remembering D&D feats way too fondly---there was the exact same proportion of lazy and versatile feats in 90s and 2000s RPGs. Fallout probably has the best array.
So, at worst, KOTOR's is typical.
>they cut the Pazaak tournament
Never heard of it, but sounds like it would have been a fun addition.
>the game is too easy even on the hardest difficulty
Eh, it's more like certain strategies are just guaranteed to get you through the game if you abuse them, once you know what to do.
But you'll miss content if you do that---so it only seems easy in hindsight once you've already down a proper playthrough.
that's not an answer
Here's the list, in no particular order
>BG2
>M&M6
>Wizardry 8
>Arcanum
>Arx Fatalis
>Fallout 2
>Morrowind
>Gothic 2
>Ultima Underworld
>System Shock 2
>IWD2
>NWN
There was supposed to be a pazaak tournament on Manaan with a huge cash prize, but it was cut to make the release date. You can still find a couple of NPC's on the planet talking about it though.
> CRPGs were so fucking horrible & irrelevant that the genre died and all of the games sold like complete shit
Really makes you think
Only have heard of 1 of those. Btw its not Fallout 2 its Fallout 76 the second fallout game dumb fuck
> Literal Who boomer garbage taken straight from RPG codex
> One noteworthy game which is Baldur's Gate II
PC cucks need to be banned & restricted to /vr/. Nobody cares about your outdated trash
So this is... The power of... Kotorians....
ZOOM ZOOM!
Cope more, if you go outside Yea Forums right now & ask someone for their favorite RPG. None of those games will ever be mentioned, instead you will hear shit like KOTOR, Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Skyrim, Pokemon, Mass Effect, Undertale, Witcher 3 & Dark Souls. Divinity 2 was the most acclaimed CRPG since Baldur's Gate II, and it's still utterly irrelevant. Nobody ever talks about it, despite having a 96 Metascore at one point, that's because your genre is fucking trash & nobody cares enough about your games to play them. WRPGs didn't become mainstream until KOTOR came out and proved WRPGs could have memorable stories & characters like Final Fantasy
>Wizardry 8
Barebones story with barebones plot interaction. The races aren't particularly creative and the setting, despite the background of it all, is essentially generic.
Difficulty consists of making enemies damage sponges and the movement during turns is a proto-implementation of what KOTOR achieved.
The combat spells all essentially do the same things once you outline the ~7 main types of them, but the list is bloated by all the minor upgrade you get through leveling up.
The game is not particularly more strategic than KOTOR either; you can do the same unga facerolling with 5 or 4 Fighters and one spellcaster and skillsman as you can in KOTOR.
The equipment system is about the same as KOTOR's in quality, except you have no possibility of customization outside the omnigun.
It's a decent game. Better than KOTOR? Nope. Maybe equal.
> Le Zoomer meme
> I don't have an argument so i'lll have to rely on a meaningless buzzword which just proves his point even further by showing how assmad his reply made me
Why, yes, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic does indeed qualify as one of the top ten best video games in the world. It's easy to come to such conclusion based on facts and throwing a few glances at such a well crafted masterpiece. The main character is a well-written and intriguing, the dialogue options are superb. The companions are all unique and offer great indepth look at the world of Star Wars. The villain, sure, is a bit cartoonish but that is also the appeal of such a great game, it does not try too hard yet it does everything perfectly. The romance options are fairly realistic and decent subplots. Gameplay is simplistic and easy to master yet offers enough depth to enjoy multiple playthroughs. Music and sounds are simply delicate, truly allowing you to immerse yourself in every situation and every planet. The visuals are most impressive and aesthetically pleasing. So yes, SW:KotOR is considered a top ten game, if you disagree you're a fucking retard jew.
They weren't the person you were replying to by the way.
This is me You just listed a bunch of games that have clout uncritically.
All you're saying is that Yea Forums is in a shitty state and has shit taste.
>KOTOR came out and proved WRPGs could have memorable stories & characters
And gameplay, movement, and perspective.
Whatever you say bandwagoning boomer-wannabe.
OLD GOOD
>Ask the average normie what their favorite RPG is
>Skyrim
Every single fucking time. What a stupid thing to say. Consider yourself hexxed
Yea Forums's first ever best game list literally had KOTOR in the top 10, none of those shit literal who games you named even made the top 100 except Fallout 2, SS2 & Morrowind.
>The villain, sure, is a bit cartoonish
There's nothing cartoonish about Malak.
Stop spouting this dumb meme.
Yea Forums's favorite RPGs are Chrono Trigger & NieR: Automata, so obviously it's no different from claiming Skyrim is your favorite RPG
He's a edgy contrarian, m-muh old game so gud i'm so quirky xd :P i dont have same taste like u plebians XD loool
based giga chad
>It's not that 2 is unfinished but it is somewhat unrefined due to lack of time.
It was literally objectively unfinished, there's even a restoration mod that was worked on by former members of the dev team to finally make the 'complete' game.
KOTOR2 with that mod is the only way you can argue a KOTOR game for top 12.
Bro, she looks nothing like Bastilla.
based
Delusional, Kotor 2 villains were much better than Malak. I replayed both games a few months ago, he's not Disney level of course but he's much much more lighthearted and comical than Sion/Nihilus/Traya
If anyone says their favorite RPG is weeb shit their opinion is automatically discarded. Nips DO NOT know how to write good stories. Its always some cringy convoluted mess.
Read it again. The contention is that being unfinished makes it automatically inferior. That's a fallacy.
It's not the cut content that makes it measure less than KOTOR. It's a great game exactly as it was shipped before you get into the finer points in criticism---so for the less discerning eye.
You wouldn't be playing it and feel like it's unfinished, except for that one locked door.
Malak is exceptionally cartoonish, almost everything he says has a "moustache-twirling-villian" flair to it.
>Resume the bombardment commander, wipe this pathetic planet from the face of the galaxy!
>he's much much more lighthearted and comical
This is just brainlet tier comprehension.
Malak wants to be absolute Lord of the Sith.
But Revan is still alive and he knows he is weaker than Revan.
So he simply employs any means possible to destroy Revan, his only rival for power and only blockage of success.
What's so cartoonish or silly or lighthearted about this?
Blowing up some who-gives-a-shit planet? There's hundreds of them in the Star Wars universe. Who gives a fuck, as Sith?
She has similar sharp facial features and blue eyes. Her with brunette hair would look perfect for IRL Bastilla. Put on your glasses buddy
You say the same shit while killing flies that are buzzing in the same room as you fag.
What do you want him to say? Nothing?
Stick to playing and talking about KOTOR II then and jerking off over how deep Nihilus's lines are.
Edgy, continue fucking seething

>better-written characters
>more experimental, daring story
KOTOR 1 is good but KOTOR 2 will always be the more interesting game
also you can turn party members into Jedi in 2, so
>It's a great game exactly as it was shipped
No, the ending was rushed to fuck and it's glaringly obvious that several plot threads were abandoned or ignored. Entire important dialogue trees were half added to the game then ignored because there wasn't enough time to implement them properly.
Lucasarts forced this out the door long before it was complete and it shows. Just because you enjoyed it in that state (as did I) it doesn't change that fact.
>also you can turn party members into Jedi in 2
there are barely any you would want to do this with
Atton for example is not one of them
you must remember they lose their classes by going Jedi
I'm sure you're baiting at this point, replay the game you have nostalgia goggles on. Malak's actions were not light-hearted it was the way he was portrayed you absolute fucking brainlet.
He had a rivalry with Revan, who simply outclasses him in every way throught the game. He sends Calo Nord, cartoonish Bounty Hunter with goggles and bright clothing who has a quirky way of killing people. Calo Nord is supposedly a terrible human being who should cause fear and terror, but you don't feel that due to the way he was portrayed you absolute fucking BRAINLET. You can portray Hitler as a cute animal killing and gasing other animals, that animal is evil and strong in story but in fact you see it as a dumb cute little thing in a play. How much must I simplify this for you, dumb fucking 4channel zoomer poster.

Lol, based Canada carry burgerland as always
that's one of the worst list I ever saw

How so?
You go to Kreia, fight while the planet is crumbling, she dies, you leave. What more did you need?
>it's glaringly obvious that several plot threads were abandoned or ignored
The only thing is that we don't see what every other party member is doing while the Exile is making their way through the Academy.
>Entire important dialogue trees were half added to the game
Like?
>Lucasarts forced this out the door long before it was complete and it shows. Just because you enjoyed it in that state (as did I) it doesn't change that fact.
Again, nobody's disputing it's unfinished. What's being disputed is that that even matters. I say it doesn't.
no, it's redditcore trash like the rest of the star wars franchise
Ocarina of Time - Shit
Final Fantasy VII - Shit
Final Fantasy VI - Shit

>Prove anything that I said is wrong without seething. You literally can't.
You're right, because I stopped reading your post once you indicated it was going to be retarded.
Can't you read?
Cringe and underachieving. Focuses so hard on Japshit that he didn't notice I respect Silent Hill. You're a below-average numale who's opinion is wrong. You cannot concentrate on actual good games because you need muh anime brainlet unimaginative bullshit in every game. Read books instead of watching anime.
Malak is literally a fucking cardboard cutout character who does evil for no real reason and wants a superweapon to do it.
I am sorry, but if you think Kotor1 is anything but a mediocre to passable RPG with a Star Wars paint on it your IQ is in the two digit range
>Resetera
Literally what?
Yea Forums is a cesspool of NintoddIers of course their favorite games would be those ones.
only Planescape, Chrono, Silent hill 2, FF7, Half Life, SoC, and Zelda are good games there
>This is just brainlet tier comprehension.
Cope harder, you are contradicting yourself little man. Can't expect much more from a incel, huh.

Weebs provoke intense emotions of disgust from me. I've read Berserk, decent read. Not interested in spending hours upon hours trying to find a good read/watch since there are no good anime/manga critics. Don't like hearing opinions of neckbeards on their favorite waifus.
>Good anime
Anime literally has the worst most child like brain dead cringe writing in any form of media. If you actually read a few books and played actual good RPGs you would realize this. Stay retarded weeb fag.
Yea Forums is literally a weeb website that was created for the sole purpose of discussing anime & manga. Our mascot is a manga character & the first board on Yea Forums was Yea Forums, kill yourself you fucking faggot
>Malak is literally a fucking cardboard cutout character
No he isn't.
>who does evil for no real reason
His reason is to get rid of Revan permanently and achieve absolute authority over the galaxy.
What he wants to do after that he never vocalizes. Have you forgotten Saturday morning cartoon villains usually tell people what their plan is? Malak doesn't.
>wants a superweapon to do it.
Read above. Brainlet.
>I am sorry, but if you think Kotor1 is anything but a mediocre to passable RPG with a Star Wars paint on it your IQ is in the two digit range

Yea Forums Has a very varied taste in games; Dragon's Dogma, Re4, Fallout:NV, Terraria, Metal gear:rising, VTMB, Dark souls, Nier, Rimworld. All these games are considered for the most part good.

> Niche game good
You will never fit in & will always be an outcast, regardless of how much you cry
Only games you listed that are shit is Nier and Dragons dogma. The rest are good.
You can't even spell the name of your waifu correctly, she'd never consider you.
Imagine actually believing this lmao
Anime is cringy shit and only underage faggots care about it. Now fuck off to Yea Forums, the containment board.
>Anime literally has the worst most child like brain dead cringe writing in any form of media.
Stop taking Yea Forums recs seriously then.
>If you actually read a few books and played actual good RPGs you would realize this.
I've read many books, fiction and (I prefer) nonfiction.
Not all anime is good. Not all books are good.
I've watched anime 3x more engaging than books like To Kill A Mockingbird.
Not a weeb btw. I haven't seen anything new in about a decade.
Cope harder tranny. Disgusting numale, just imagine your parents disgust if they ever see you watching anime. Your brain is probably too rotten to ever comprehend just how much of a embarassment you are. Analyze what kind of bullshit you're watching and the same repetetive and unimaginative jokes or muh deep copy pastas from actual books. You're fucking braindead, I hope that you hide from your parents that you watch that shit for their sake.
Not anymore buddy. This argument is actually so braindead. Theres a reason there are seperate boards now keep living in the past gookphile.

GTFO faggot, Mass Effect 1 was a superior game to Mass Effect 2.
Honest typo. She would understand.
Why is it always WRPG fags seething about JRPGs, and not the other way around? Hell WRPG fags even seethe about other WRPGs, i don't understand this logic
Deus Ex isn't an RPG
>vampire the masquerade
broken and almost unplayable without patches
3rd person combat worse than Bloodrayne
Don't even try to argue with these faggots, it's been the same 4-5 contrarian western fags shitting up this thread. Over half of the comments are from them
What? Jrpg fags are the ones complaining about western games and wrpgs all the time.
True. Hopefully the lurkers reading right now aren't as blockheaded, stubborn, and hopeless though.
Why is giga Chad always with the best opinions?
JRPGs are on a whole a shit genre with a few exceptions because the mainstream market is saturated with garbage games. Most of the games that Yea Forums contrarians and edgy social outcasts like yourself respect are nostalgia goggle cringe outdated games. There are a few decent titles but you don't care about those due to the fact that your taste is shit. Weaboos are considered a joke, as it should be. I'm sorry but you'l never be taken seriously by anyone who has any self-respect.
Why not, if SS2 is?
Not seething really I have no problem with JRPGs. You can play them and enjoy them but they will always be a lesser form of media compared to western written games.
It’s probably nostalgia with vampire, I just remember it being unique.
I’ll be honest I’ve only ever played KOTOR on my iPad with touch controls (gross), so I gave up.
When controller support comes this year I’ll give it replay.
Absolute fucking delusion, this thread proves it. The IP count hasn't gone up & yet it's still the same 5 WRPG faggots spamming endless comments and buzzwords about how superior their literal who WRPG's are than popular JRPGs. Despite nobody ever acknowledging or accepting their opinion outside their incredibly small hivemind.
>I’ll be honest I’ve only ever played KOTOR on my iPad with touch controls (gross), so I gave up.
best way to play is on Xbox.
anything else is a compromise
Just play on PC its not that hard dude.
The original Nier was an excellent game with a great narrative and sound track, although the combat is unbalanced and dated.
Dragon's dogma is great as well but every diehard fan recognizes it's flaws.
based
It plays good on both console and PC. I just prefer PC for all the mods and graphical enhancements.
Bug-eye, most people here are white gaijin BVLLS. Mainstream Western Media doesn't glorify weebshit, if anything it's disgusted by it. Cope harder chinklet, your culture is shit and you're shit. Gonna go lift now as a TALL WHITE MAN, might fuck around and get some asian girls mires later you disgusting weeb subhuman.
>every diehard fan recognizes it's flaws.
you don't need to be a diehard fan, or at a fan at all, to do that
>white gaijin BVLLS
stop appropriating /int/ memes troglodyte
WRPG fags seethe because a lot of their games are dumbing down the rpg aspects and cranking up sjw bullshit and are glorified walking simulators.
Who is this waitress and why is she the goodest motherfucker in the galaxy?
>Literal who RPGs
Every jap RPG is a who RPG besides Silent Hill and Zelda. Stay mad anime tranny
My point is, that Dragon's dogma's flaws are so apparent that even the fans can't ignore them, but we like it anyway because what it does good is very good.
she sacrificed herself to save orphans and serve as a waitress to support them and dog shelters
Another gookhphile shut down
Based stoner
Yeah definitely. With the restoration mod it's top 10.
Oh my bad. I thought that was 2. KoTOR 1 is like top 50 for sure tho
Not even in the top 100 greatest games.
>Silent Hill and Zelda.
>RPG
don't declare victory retard, you haven't won anything.
No. Not with that combat system, not with unfinished basically everything. Story is fine though and would make a great movie.
If only you knew how dumb you are
The combat system is one of if not the best ever devised in a non-action RPG.
Nuh uh, You're dumb.
why does every thread about any rpg end with jrpg and wrpg fags yelling at each other?
also jade empire is underrated
>iwd but no planescape
I know muh vn meme but it's still a great rpg.
After I recently replayed both games, I realised that KotOR1 is actually very basic and shallow, while modded KotOR2 is fantastic.
wrpg fags take themselves to seriously and jrpg fags have an overinflated opinion of themselves.
Not that guy but IWD is based. It's linear but it's still a very tight, well paced game. I couldn't get into planescape. I don't like RPGs where the story is about some other player's character. It's the kind of game I'd rather watch someone play than play it myself
>I realised that KotOR1 is actually very basic and shallow
in what way
i loved it when i played it but it looks like absolute shit and is probably not fun to play in 2019
>it looks like absolute shit
it looks great for a 2000s game and acceptable for contemporary, especially everything but faces.
Not the graphics themselves, the systems, UI, etc
PC UI is worse than the Xbox's. Xbox's is pretty decent.
