There's SWGEmu, which is a fanproject trying to rebuild Star Wars Galaxies from during that short period where it was actually kind of fun before the combat upgrade/NGE turned it to shit. They've got a surprising amount of content rebuilt, though they don't have the Jump to Lightspeed ship sim aspect or Jedi in yet.

i just wanted to be the one to come here and point out that The force unleash is not good. At all.

Albeit, i only played the first one on the Wii, which is the inferior version, still... that subset of games is just pure tripe.

TFU is.... rentable. If anything just for the fact you can use a stormtrooper as a wreaking ball if you know what you're doing.

Though I admit... my main soft spot are the flight sim games like the X-wing/TIE Fighter series.

My sister and I regularly played Battlefront and Battlefront 2 back in the day. The PS2 version of BF2 was fairly buggy: Audio would glitch out in Jabba's Palace regularly, but it was still fun. The ability to play as Heroes/Villains occasionally was amusing for a while, although it does get old. Eventually my sis and I would pass up playing as Luke, Vader or Kit Fisto because the standard rebel soldier/ stormie was a bazillion times better at everything once you level up enough. Also, the ability to play All Heroes Vs All Villains in Mos Eisley is fun as long as you accept the fact that Villain Team always wins. Whoever knows how to play as Darth Maul will carry the entire team and inevitably win. Because Maul was obviously not designed to be used constantly in multiplayer. He's really cheap. Also, Team Evil has 3 non-Force-using people: Boba, Jango and Grevious. The Fetts have flamethrowers and jetpacks and Grevious has 2 lightsabers and a super powerful rush attack on par with Maul's. Team Hero gets Chewie, Han and Leia. They have... pistols and a wookie bowcaster. Leia can give allies a shield. That's about it. But if you accept the fact that the hero team will lose when Maul is not an NPC, it's still enjoyable. Having Aayla Secura troll Boba Fett by constantly Force Pushing and Force Pulling him across the map while he tries to jetpack-fly away makes up for Maul Insta-Kill Combos. Almost.

I'm still pissed I don't have my Han Solo; Intergalactic Smuggler game yet.

Hope this helps, Seil!

Ramary · 03-16-2013, 12:47 AM

Nah, she just doesn't believe in the power of friendship.

Seil · 03-16-2013, 01:36 AM

oh god. oh god. oh my god. i just have to stop talking to people. everyone hates me. i have no influence. i am not influential.

it's all like 'Save the Sith assassin. It's okay. She can be redeemed. Trust the assassin droid, we can take him.' now the handmaiden hates me, kreia's on my ass about... everything and my little buddy T3 looks all nefarious and junk, what with the foreshadowing and the secrecy.

that's it. no more talking with companions.
