    What I loved the most about Kyle's character development is the way he reacts when people say "May the Force be with you" to him throughout the game. He starts with "It hasn't been so far." Then it goes through the "Thanks", the "We'll see" and the "Yeah, you too" until he finally says it back, which is also the last line of the game. It's so beautiful because it is so subtle.

    As a kid I grew up playing the sequel, Jedi Academy, and only after a while I got my hands on this one. This one seemed longer and more complex to me than Jedi Academy. Sometimes I would even get lost or stuck at this game. Thanks for the nostalgia! :D

      When my siblings and I first got this game as a copy from a friend, we were stuck on Kejim for years, and could only go further with cheat codes. It was only after we used a walkthrough after some years that I could actually play through Outcast properly. The two games are still some of my favourites. Even though I have not played them in 5 or 6 years, I can still remember most of what happens in each game.

    • @silvervisage5096
      @silvervisage5096 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I can relate to what you're saying. Some of Outcast's missions were quite tricky and you'd find yourself lost often. Academy was pretty much straightforward compared to the previous one. I'm at an age where I no longer have time or patience for gaming, however this remains part of my childhood. These games had a certain quality and felt much more rewarding than more modern games. Cheers!

    These games are timeless. And a devoted community that has made enhancements to all 3 games + the expansion pack will hopefully make newer players give these classics a shot. All 3 are masterpieces, jedi knight will always be my favorite one tho. I just love how they had fmv's for the cutscenes.

    Outcast and Academy are golden gems. I really enjoyed Star Wars as a child, but never knew about what the Expanded Universe and playing Outcast then Academy is what introduced me to all the books/comics.

    Amazing about outcast was its moding capability. Also you could import the game into Academy and had its graphical goodies and you were able to play with a staff and dual Light sabers.
    I modded shit out of this game. I still love it to this day man. Best ever.
    Fun fact: When you use cheat code setforceall 7 when using mind trick, you could play as an imperial and use him.

    How to tell if someone used to play a lot of Jedi Outcast / Academy multiplayer?
    They use Heavy stance for poking while saber dueling enemies. ( Click and strafe right to have the character swing right and you try and land and keep the tip of the saber on them as accurately as possible, as long as possible, enabling you to one-shot enemies. )
