Actually, most good strategy games are roleplaying games (in the true sense of the word). Civ isn't a stellar example, though.

Unless he was being sarcastic then I get the joke. If not......

Well i went back and played all the contenders(that have been getting the mentions here) over the weekend

And my opinion has changed slightly. in descending order we have:

6: DarkForces

5: Rebellion(Supremacy)

4: KOTOR

3: Jedi Knight(Dark forces2)

2: Tie fighter

1: Xwing(just shades it for me)

I've decided to try to finish Xwing(and later Tie fighter) - so i might run a thread soon with screenshots and requests for help

So far i'm on my first tour having completed a selection of the training sims etc. Its an awesome game, great atmosphere and great playability, even after all these years

I've never played any SW games as I generally distrust games based on movies... I suppose the best of these games are the exception to the rule that "movie games" suck?

However, now I'm itching to play one of the SW franchise games (especially the X-wing and Tiefighter series, which I've always heard great things about), but there are just too many coming out each year... Judging from this thread KOTOR and space flying sims are worth checking out...

i) Any recent (or upcoming) space flying sims from LucasArts?

ii) What kind of game is Battlefront?

TIE Fighter



that's right.

ii) What kind of game is Battlefront?

None that I'm aware of, at least in the vein of X-Wing and TIE Fighter. There have been flying games, but not like those.

And Battlefront is basically Battlefield:1942.....except with less evil and more Ewok/Jawa mass killing.

It's my feeling they'll do another, but the genre is slightly out of fashion in the last couple of years. Plus, there is a lot of demand for light-sabre combat games, because light-sabres rule.

Deus Ex satisfies that need as well...

I rented Lego Star Wars for PS2 and you know what? It's a pretty good game. If you liked Legos as a kid and you like Star Wars then you'll like this game. A little short and I wish there was a few more missions but all in all a good game.

Carolus: Everything reminds you of Deus Ex at the moment.

Star Wars Lego? I dunno man...

Battlefront is not bad...you get to drive around in AT-AT's in some areas. And being a droideka is pretty fun rolling around on Kamino. But yeah, the plot is kind of lacking but the sheer madness of some of the battles is good fun. I really really like the Battle of Hoth. I was a rebel wookie and seeing those mutha's coming at you is scary as heck.

I'd say play KOTOR. It's a good game worth playing if you like Star Wars.

Kudo's for child of Thor compiling the list.

I played Star Wars Galaxies but as with any MMORPG, the people kind of are jerks. I was a commando that was severely underpowered..but once the developers fixed the profession everyone wanted to be one, while others complained that the commando was too strong. The commando class got 'nerfed' (downgraded) and another profession was "fixed"...only to have everyone complain that that class was too powerful. Repeat ad naseum.

that's why I got out of Galaxies...and I was such a good Imperial commando too. My best memory was attacking a rebel HQ with 50 other Imperial players, all different professions...pistoleers, bounty hunters, carbine people, unarmed Teras Kasi warriors, etc. I was the only commando and they needed me to flip some kind of switch. Everyone was guarding me and I had 2 Imperial bounty hunters (that were player characters) guarding me as we went through the base killing Rebel scum.

Best memory ever.


Lemme see if I can dig up my few screenshots from Galaxies before I quit...

Me farting around on a volcano on Lok...some bigshot NPC gangster was there, as well as a secret imperial outpost I had to run to. I didn't have a speeder at the time.

Me on Dathomir. I was hunting rancors and got separated from my group. There's these NPC creatures called Dathomir Nightsisters that are brutal...some of them carry these rifles that killed other players in one-hit...while others rode tamed-rancors. There was an Imperial prison on the planet that I visited...that was fun. Trying to outrun Rancors while I was trying to find the prison was fun.

Sorry about the quality...there's supposed to be all kinds of weeds and grass but I turned down those extra bits down to help the game run faster on my comp.
