Goddamit every time I load up this game, I fall in love a little bit more... ❤️ I really can't express in words how freaking great this game is! The lightsaber combat in the Jedi Knight games is next level. How is a 17 year old game still the best Jedi simulater in video gaming? It's a mystery, but also not cos that's how good this game is!
Great video! Thanks for the shout out James. The Tavion fight is absolutely nails - just when you'd got used to Kyle's abilities and got a bit of confidence the game throws a beast of a boss at you to remind you to remain humble. Really like it. One fight which is super nostalgic for me was in the PC demo of JK2. I got it on the cover disk of PC Zone magazine (I think). The demo is a modified version of the Kejim level, with an added Reborn fight at the end. I quicksaved the demo right before that fight and would load and reload that, trying out everything the game had to offer. Great memories.
Oh wow that demo sounds amazing! I never knew about that, I'll have to see if it's still possible to dig that up somewhere. Yeah I do the save before saber duels thing too, and then go back and replay my favourite ones. I still really love this game, and there's some great mods around for it now as well! Keep making awesome videos boys! 👊
Ah yeah I've actually tried to get into some MP servers. The problem for me is finding Australian servers, which I think maybe don't really exist tbh... tried playing with northern hemisphere players, but it's just janky and unplayable for me sadly.
Thanks man 😊 Yeah I'm in the same boat, recently replayed it after ten or so years. Still such a great game! Some pretty nice mods around for it now as well 😊 Yeah the blood's a bit of a change from vanilla. I kinda like it, but it's not very Star Wars I suppose.
Went onto google to find a game i played years ago and found you're channel... i was a pc gamer before and yeah was a lonnnnnnnng time ago i played this game... so is the title jedi knights ?? Also what platforms is it on ?? Good vid man brings back the memories..
Sprintonwater: "Best Lightsaber combat ever!" Also Sprintonwater: Uses only one move every fight in red/yellow style Ever heard of combos bru? :P Besides that, i share your love for the game. I was 12 when it came out and i was hooked. I was so hooked that i was one of the best players in multiplayer back then. Too bad my preferred version (1.03, good old BS times) lost more and more players after 1.04. When JK3 came out i played it excessively for some time, even in ESL...but somehow it wasnt the same as JK2, even though it was a good game. I wish they would revive these games and give us a new JK :) PS: Long live =X=! PPS: I havent checked for a long time, but i believe theres still a community for the Moviebattles II Mod (for JK3) which reworks the whole MP on a massiv and fun scale. Ever checked that out?
Yup I’ve messed around with movie battles a little. Not much tho honestly, ping from Australia made it difficult. And lol yeah my saber style is pretty basic, lack of exposure to the multiplayer community as a young tacker made me the the single swing specialist that I am today! 😉 Edit: not hanging out for a remaster tho, modern gaming industry will just ruin it. The mods scene has got me covered!

You should come join the multiplayer community. We are still active but need more players!

@@sprintonwater Ah, Australia. Yeah, it's gonna be tough getting good ping there. Sorry about that :(
I could host an Australian server for you if you like. @@sprintonwater
what's your name on jk2?
@@1Insurgency1 I feel like I've seen you on a jk2 related youtube comment before inevitable
Great video. Just finished up a run through the other week for he first time in over a decade probably! Not sure about that blood mod though.
