(Force Persuade) You will but KOTOR! (Persuade) You have to play KOTOR its a good game! (Persuade/Intimitade) Buy KOTOR... OR else... (Awareness) I noticed a disturbing amount of people who hasnt played KOTOR yet. (Strenght) I shall strongarm you into bying KOTOR, forcibly! (Intelligence) You obviously aren't a smart person since you haven't played KOTOR yet... (Wisdom) To buy KOTOR or not to buy KOTOR, that is the quesOH FUCK IT JUST BUY KOTOR NOW!!
Darth Revan bought it a couple days ago, well I think it was a couple days ago, haven't slept since so it hard to keep count. 🤔 it's sad how old games provide more entertainment then new ones.
I'd say they're worth the $10 each at full price, especially given the Steam mod support and HD integration for Kotor 2. These are two games that I spent countless hours playing when I was younger, and I still play them now.
Rastasolid l Maybe. I'm not a huge fan of story driven games. My only real issue with the voice acting is that it limited the amount of content they could make in the time they allowed themselves.
+Rastasolid l THIS is the problem with fallout 4's dialogue. Not the voiced protagonist, it's the choices that ruined it. They're literally all the same option and have no impact whatsoever. Why even have them in that case?
Fallout 4 was trying too hard to be like Mass Effect, complete with voiced protagonists and a dialogue wheel. Not the right choice to make. It should have been more like KOTOR instead.
Finally, someone takes the time to say it. KoTOR is by far the greatest Star Wars game, and very possibly the best representation of the Star Wars universe, including the movies. Easily my favorite game ever.
I was wary of this game due to its age, but I finally gave into it and gave it a try. I have NOT been able to set it down since. It's an amazing RPG and I have chosen it over Fallout for like the last week whenever I have some free time to play games. I tweeted at you earlier this week Matty and you RT'd me, and just thank you again, this is an awesome game!
+WarEaglePlays That's so cool. I have been playing this game since it came out and I try to show everyone i meet about it! it truely is a brilliant and beautiful piece of work.
I bought it after watching this video. After only 10 hours in i'm addicted. I can already tell this is going to be one of my favorite games. I can't wait to start Kotor 2.
KOTOR to me is something that honestly made me into a diehard Star Wars fan(Legends fan). To get personal, I used to watch the original trilogy with my uncle(who has long since been deceased) and I remembered loving those films. And the prequels I enjoyed. In short, I was a casual fan. I always knew of the Expanded Universe and never got into it as I thought it seemed too complicated. I digress. I'll never forget when I stumbled onto my cousin who picked up and played this game. And wow. From the music to the graphics, gameplay and story, I was super immense. I'll be honest. When i watched the Original trilogy, I enjoyed them, but it never hit me how big and vast the world was. This game is a best of both worlds, combining the high world building of the PT and the heart, story and characters of the OT. I laughed, I cried. I was left speechless. To me, THIS game is Star Wars at its finest. I daresay, it's the magnum opus of the franchise. Even more than Empire. And I love Empire. This game was what made me a Star Wars fan, seeking out all the media, novels, comics, whatever was out there. And even while having such a scope of knowledge, I'll always love KOTOR. If I could I'd thank every single person who worked on the game, because to me this is best contribution to the mythos since the original trilogy. May the Force be with you, everyone.
My brother and I still talk about scenarios in this game as if they are our own real life memories. There are open world games. And then their our open mind games. And this game lets you explore a world with in a world with just a few choices. This game compels you to replay it at least 2 additional times. A game developers really should take notes on.
Dude my first playthrough was insane I was like 6 years old. Today I spend many hours, currently I'm 20 hours into KOTOR 2, however am choosing to restart the playthrough, I'm ready to do it legit and modded.
"Breaking News: it seems that KOTOR has broken FO4 records thanks to MrMattyPlays, KOTOR 3 has now been confirmed" already played them btw (awesome games)
I got these games the respective years they came out and have put at least 2 thousand hours into these games each, combined through Xbox and PC, and they are, without a doubt, my all time favorite games ever. Never before, nor since, have I come across a game so beautifully written and designed with characters that are deep. Your morality is always being questioned at every turn, even the shades of grey within these masterpieces having their own, respective, even more greyed out areas. Star Wars is the best multifaceted multimedia idea to come from humanity since forever, and with these games came the pinnacle of gaming. I am 100% sure I will never find another series as good as this magnificent piece of art.
I was born in 2000, when I was around 5, my family and I moved to France. One day my older brother bought an XBOX and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2, I was incredibly young, but man, how great it was for my first Star Wars RPG to be The Sith Lords. TO THIS DAY I give the game a TRUE 10/10 rating where I am HAPPY to overlook cut content (Which, thanks to TSLRCM, is irrelevant today) and, I don't know what else, as Matty says the gameplay is not modern (I AM OVERLOOKING THAT BECAUSE THE GAME IS TOO DAMN GOOD) Hell YES I am a FANBOY but who wouldn't be when the first video game dropped into your hands is one of the greatest of all time? Look it up if you don't believe me, SWKOTOR, either the 1st or 2nd game, is in the TOP 3 of all time best Star Wars video games (with Star Wars: Battlefront 1 or 2 in the mix), and sure as hell in Top 100 of best RPGs of all time.
a similar story for me: I was born in 2001 and I was 4 and my Aunty got Star Wars best of the PC collection (all best star wars games) and from that time I absolutely loved Kotor more than any other one there. Though I didn't know what was going on I played it a year later and man it was so much better. Even if I never becomes canon again it will always have a special place in my heart
Me as well! Born in 2000, older brother played it then I played it later on around 6 years old(didn't really enjoy it though since I was 6 :D) but there both truly one of he beat games of all time. I just started a new kotor 2 game a week ago!
+Captain Leerox Im 14 and my brother also got the game when it cane out as well as the first one, It has had such a huge impact on me and I love these games. We need a KOTOR 3.
ImmortalPhoenix fuck yes. battlefront 2 alone has way more content and is overall more fun than battlefront EA. thats not even counting the mods. its only 3 bucks on steam too.
U just cant get them to understand a game that is 10 years old, they will always bitch about something, players that never played it just cant get into it ( not all of them, but a lot of them). But for us who played it way back then its an amazing game because the game in that time was fucking super amazing! And i would really love Kotor 3! Its just an amazing Rpg!
Nice to hear someone being as passionate as I am about KOTOR :> Fell in love with these games back in the day and is still in my top 3 favorite games ever
Bought the game, played for almost 20 hours, Steam screwed up, I lost all of my saves; I got depressed, shrugged, and restarted. I don't think any of you understand how odd that is for me. I usually NEVER replay a game, ESPECIALLY if something like that happens. That just goes to show how much I adore KotOR. It's a little confusing if you have no former knowledge of the game mechanics (it was a lot easier the second time around), but you can catch on fairly quickly. The worlds are huge and beautiful for such an old game, and the story is freaking fabulous. I'd recommend this game 10/10 hands down.
Cool video here. I couldn't agree more that these games are both *"must play"* games. I just got both of them fpr PC on sale for $3.49 each (as well as a few other STAR WARS games) about a week and a half ago on GOG. I also got the KOTOR II: Sith Lords Restored Content mod that restores a lot of the cut content in the game due to EA rushing Bioware to release the game too early as wrll as the Droid Planet mod that adds a lot more depth to the original backstory. Gonna be my first time ever playing the game like that and I can'can't wait. I hope the game plays smoothly and without hiccups. I've been trying to convince my cousin to play these games and I feel he's almost there. I just have to give him a few more nudges. Again, cool video here. (P.S. By the way, don't know if you know but, metal swords were a part of the STAR WARS Expanded Universe before KOTOR was made. The same Expanded Universe that the KOTOR games are in...)
Matt didn't mention it but if you play through KOTR 1 a certain plot point will leave you jaw dropped. So when playing 2 (which you will after the awesomeness that is 1) don't get your expectations too high for some major jaw dropping moments as good as the first game. 2 is AMAZING, but the story doesn't hit you in the chest leaving you breathless like 1 did.
There have been so many Star Wars games made, and these are incredible on every level. I still play them once in awhile. It's not good for 2010, it is great for 2017. I bought them again on Steam last year, in a package, for $9.99, and it is still worth the 49.99 I paid for each way back when. Pod racing, Pazaak, great battles, great story, great crafting, did I mention great? So many aliens, choices, customization... I can't say anything bad about it.
I can totally relate to you, because this game got me into star wars , i play it every summer (exept for 2) and its my favourite game of all time, i really like that you made this video hopefully they remake these games, but i dont want them to change the combat to more fast based, because its already almost perfect and we need these kinda deep, tactical rpgs, because i dont see them that often anymore and they are so awesome. Keep it up Matty!
I know I‘m kinda 6 years late to your comment. I think fast paced action would be great for the remake. Maybe do something like final fantasy 7 remake did where you have the option to play on the new combat system or a classic mode with the old system. That way you make the game more accessible for players and everyone will be happy 😁
I'm with you Matty, these games are amazing. Every year or two I go through and beat them again. I hope they make a remastered version, because I would play the hell out of that!
I also play anually. Just finished kotor 2 yesterday. I trained my entire crew to be jedi. But KOTOR series is probly my favourite game series ever. That awesome feeling of getting more and more powerful is soooo satisfying! And all the knowledge you learn throughout these games, about reven and malak, jedi civil war, force bonds, how to kill jedi, sith techniques etc. Just awesome and essential to any SW fan!
I played it and graphics didn't matter or the really heavy and kinda confusing RPG and skill system. I mainly couldn't get with the turn based system. Probably because of all of the action RPGs now, this game is definitely a true RPG, for better or for worse (regarding people who have never played it and are used to action instead of turn based).
I tried this game about 10 years ago and couldn't get into it, despite being a big Star Wars fan. But I also didn't have the patience for these kind of RPGs back then, opting for more casual Oblivion-esque RPGs and FPSs. You've convinced me to give it another look now that my RPG taste has grown more refined.
Such an epic game series and yes it is arguably the best game series of all time, we need another Star Wars RPG from Bioware although I'll admit that I dont think a Kotor reboot would work (they should just make a game set 100 years after TOR imo, no need to get rid of all the great lore) if not that then one set between Episodes 3 and 4, I dont really see a KOTNR game working as there isnt really a New Jedi Order in the new canon...either way, Bioware get on it and give us another epic Star Wars RPG!
I've been subscribed to this channel for a while and I've heard Matty gush about his love for KOTOR, and I always have agreed. This was my favorite game on Xbox and I still love it to this day. With original Xbox emulation coming to Xbox One soon I really want this to be one of the available titles. On another note I'd really love it if Matty did a walk through or Let's Play on the KOTOR series. Seeing his reaction and seeing the community interact as we all adventure through the lush fields of Dantooine, or the dense dangerous underbelly of Kashyyk, would do wonders for my viewing pleasure.
I play this annually myself Matty, been playing it since it was still on Xbox, not Xbox 360 but the original xbox. I bought the PC disc sets of both games when i moved on to a PC but the discs are old and kinda on their last legs so i was thinking of re getting them on steam for the smoother file management and lack of need of the discs. Like you I really want a remastering of the games or even better a brand new game. I really hope they get their butts in gear and make one or even both of these things happen. I'm with you all the way on this one! KOTOR All the way forever!!!
Throughout my life, I've always been a Star Wars fan. I played the LEGO games, Battlefront, Battlefront II, even Super Bombad Racing. In early 2016, I came across Knights of the Old Republic on Steam. I bought both of them because I'd heard they were good. When KotOR finished installing, I started it up. I then didn't put the game down for 8 hours without a break. It was very nostalgic for me because Jeremy Soule did the soundtrack (Harry Potter Games, Elder Scrolls). It's an amazing game and anyone who is reading this should buy the game if you enjoy a unique story, romantic attractions and expanded universe tales. I still haven't finished KotOR II yet but it's amazing so far. The first KotOR will always be my favorite though.
But Matty, it is not canon *slams head into the table* ITS NOT CANON *slams head into the FUCKING TABLE * ITS NOT FUCKING CANON ANYMORE *SLAMS DISNEY'S HEAD INTO THE FUCKING TABLE*
+Mudcrab Menace The Old republic era is canon. Darth Bane is canon, we just don't know any specific events that happened other than that the Jedi fought the Sith.
Patrick Garvey No it is not. No Blizzard Star wars game is canon anymore. Darth Bane is canon because he makes an appereance in Star Wars The Clone Wars.
Mudcrab Menace Yeah, if they could, I think they would make the last 2 trilogis non-canon. Disney most likely wants to do their little thing with Star Wars and not caring about any other instalment of the Star Wars franchise. But I say that we believe in what canon we want, try seeing it like 2 parallel dimensions, one in which is the EU canon, and one that is Disney Canon...ahh, canon?
I've never met someone who likes these games more than me, until now. Every summer? When I heard you say that, I felt so sad because I've only gone back to play these games a few times in all these years, but I truly do love them as well. Still have my original xbox copies.
As for video games introducing kids to Star Wars, I was 4 when the Phantom Menace came out, so I knew what Star Wars was as a concept, through cultural osmosis. 4 years later, at a family friend's house, the family friend let me play his GBA, for which he had Star Wars: The New Droid Army. For those unfamiliar, it was an isometric game that came out in 2002, and in it you play Anakin, in the interim between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. It's a good detective story, and it's interplanetary as well, it's a huge game for the format it was, and the combat was really good as well. Underrated game imo.
VanHallen52 I spent 58 hours in the og Xbox versión of Kotor 1 and im only complete taris, the davik’s state (before you stolen the ebon hawk from davik) and dantooine 🤣🤣 this game got many content bro more than any current game in this days my controller was damaged before the Quarantine and Im taking back in android and pc imagine the frustration
I've purchased so many copies of this game and I've never felt like I waisted money. I've beaten this game more times than I can count in every way possible and still find stuff on play throughs that I hadn't seen in previous play throughs. add in the lost content mod, and damn. I really hope this is remastered I'd gladly pay 40 bucks, shit I'd pay 60 bucks, to play it on x1. These are my all time favorite games, totally share your passion for this game.
It was always my favorite, but the update (Which shows people still care) pushed it pretty far ahead, especially with TSLRCM and the AMAZING polished aspects absent from K1.
Kotor was integral to my childhood. Ah I remember the days when I would beg my brother to play Knights Of The Old Republic! Honestly, Kotor is one of my fav games of all time, its still better than some modern games (which is rediculous). It is at least in the top 3 Star Wars games. And btw thanks Matty for letting me know there was a steam sale on KOTOR II because I might never have bought it otherwise!!!
I've seen guides where you can turn on your lightsaber when not in combat mode to slice open security containers, is that some kind of mod that lets you do that? I'm playing on a original Xbox console and it seems my saber will only ignite if I'm in combat mode.
yeah they did a complete 180* when they did the first MassEffect, they switched to pure cover based gameplay, they even made the hardest difficulty in it called "insane" like in GOW...they couldn't even think of their own version of the hardest mode, something like "Spectre" would have done nicely!!!
call me creazy ..i think I like swotor more than kotor. why? well in swortor you can play as a sith and as a jedi starting in the academy of each one. each class have their own unique story. and very good story for each class the sith inquisitor story was amazing and warrior too. The combat in Swotor is amazing and now 2016 is way better. Kotor combat is good but not that special is very repetitive.
***** Ture but i mean the combat. in swotor you have with each class a whole different tree to choose with a variarity of abilities to use. while in kotor well not many... MMO are repetitive but in swotor at least you have two factions the sith and the republic with amazing classes with different stories.
Rastasolid l I still like more Swotor. while kotor 1 and 2 have a very good story. Swotor have not just one good story but many good stories. different experinces. an overall better experiance for me. While i spend a lot of hours in the kotor series i still play swotor and not even experiance everything. the game keep getting more conent sh.RP .pvp. new dlcs. But SWOTOR is an MMO while kotor series are rpg single player is unfair to campare them in all aspects. Everything is base on the player taste. some player like you love the single focus story of kotor while some player like me love the many stories focus.
While swords are not carried by any main characters in the movies, metal melee weapons do make their appearance in the movies in the form of battleaxe, force pikes, electrostaff and various vibroblades. They are also used quite often in the novels and graphic novels.
I need to get these on steam, I played them way back in the day and loved them. A few months ago I picked up KOTOR 1 on Android and played through it on my phone. This game has so much story, and is told through so many little scenes that I didn't realize how much of it I had forgotten, it was like I had never played it before. I was further blown away by how well these games hold up in terms of content. The graphics are really outdated for sure, but the game is honestly good enough that I stopped noticing within my first 15 minutes. I agree, if someone likes western style rpg's and/or star wars I sincerely doubt they would have any regrets after buying this for $10, regardless if they had played it before or not. There are really good reasons why KOTOR 1 & 2 show up on best games of all time lists all over the internet.
Own both on xbox, loved them since day one. Everyone was always raving about Battlefront, which is a classic of course, but they were missing out on such a gem. These games are incredible, i absolutely love them
I love how passionate you are about these games. I remember playing KOTOR2 on the original Xbox back in the day. That was probably my first RPG. I think I'm gonna buy the first one on my iPhone. I've been on the fence about it but your video convinced.
Kotor is my favorite game ever right next to oblivion, kotor's ost is amazing gameplay is awesome the atmosphere is great Kotor 2 was a great game to but it doesn't grab me like Kotor 1 don't get me wrong it's an amazing game but I just don't like it as much.
MATT THANK YOU FOR THIS. the way you feel about the KOTOR series is exactly the same as me!! Weekly I check for news on the game. I also play the game at least once a year if not more. Everyone needs to check it out.
like Matty, I grew up on this game. I have no idea how many builds I have in on it. It was my go go game on my Xbox until it died. By far the best RPG games out there. The fact that they are over a decade old makes that achievement all the more amazing. The games are worth every penny.
The story. Both games have great story, but KOTOR one to me feels better written. I like the characters and story progression more. But if i have to point something specific it will be the AMAZING plot twist with Revan. -----------------------------------SPOILER------------------------------------ When you find out that you are Revan, that for me was just the best plot twist i have ever seen.
Davidrsq Can I just say thanks for the spoiler warning! Not many on youtube are so considerate. I just started KOTOR 2 and finished 1 recently, but so far I find the writing of 2 to be much better than 1. I loved 1, it was great, I loved most characters, and that twist was mindblowing, but already in KOTOR 2 the Sith lord with the broken body is so incredibly threatening compared to Malak, who seems like a cartoon villain by comparison. The writing is deeper and darker than Star Wars has any right to be and I love it. But I get that it's unStarWarsy, and I hear that without the Restored Content Mod the game seriously breaks down in the plot departement in late game. We'll see! I'm only on Telos just now. But it's funny how games that look so similar can feel so different.
Advancedgod I can see why you say that. KOTOR 2 does have a darker story, and Darth Nihilus is certainty an interesting character. I guess is just a matter of taste. I like KOTOR 1 better and i can see you like KOTOR 2 better, but we can agree that both are grat games.
+Davidrsq Kotor 2 gets a lot by the content restoration mod - without the mod kotor 1 was definitely stronger with the mod I can't decide yet - I think I have to replay them.
I bought both for Xbox one backwards compatibility while I watched this. I'm a huge Star Wars fan and I'm looking forward to getting into these. Thanks for the great video.
I remember as a little kid going to movie trading company with my grandmother and seeing kotor 2 on the shelf (I had no idea what it was) I thought the cover art looked cool so I begged my grandmother to buy it for me and she finally agreed, at the counter the guy helping us asked me "are you sure you want THIS game?" at the time I thought he was making a knock on my age being under the "T for teen" advisement, but I said "yeah" and so he chuckled and put it in the bag and rang it up, when I got home and started playing I naturally fell in love with the game, but I quickly realized none of the characters from the cover art of the case were in the actual game, I later realized when I was a bit older that the cashier that day switched the kotor 2 disc out for kotor 1 when I wasn't looking, he did me a huge favor and had I not, maybe I would not have found my favorite game of all time!
I played it when it originally first came out on the first Xbox. I fell in love with it like I did Elder Scrolls III. I had no idea it was out on mobile. You convinced me, I got it on my iPad Air 2! I'm so excited!!!
2017 steam sale and I just got these games a few days ago, played through Kotar 1 and started Kotar 2 today. These are the Star Wars games I've been waiting for all my life, a Star Wars RPG with a system based off of Dungeons and Dragons. This game is everything I have ever dreamed of, I can really become the Jedi or Sith I want to be.
Old video; but it’s worth mentioning that the original KoToR crashes right after the character creation screen unless you turn off shadows and frame buffer. I was very frustrated for about 30 minutes until I finally looked it up on a forum. LOL! But I’m a noobie into this series (just found the code to get off of Taris, don’t spoil anything for me) but I can confirm everything you’re talking about. I can’t wait to see what else the game offers, but just the first planet of Taris has been an incredibly rewarding and expansive experience. Slow gameplay? So what? I can play the Battlefronts and Jedi Outcasts if I wanted something faster. This game is all about world-building, and the slow pace is incredibly effective in this format. And although I’m not usually a fan of turn-based combat, this game makes it very easy to grasp what your options are, and once you have a squad, you’ll be able to take everybody down fairly quickly. I am just absolutely in love with this game already, and I can’t wait to see what else it offers.
I bought kotor 1 and 2 a while back when they were on sale but never really got the chance to play them. After watching this video I'm gonna start playing them. Thanks for the vid Matty
Just bought this game like a week ago after Matty talked about it a while ago and just beat it last night and holy shit this game was amazing. The story was incredible and I never saw that awesome plot twist and wow I truly hope they make Kotor 3 and I'll be playing kotor 2 soon. Thanks a lot for the recommendation Matty!
Finishing the first KotOR game for me was like seeing a good friend off at the train station, knowing it will be a long time before you see each other again. Damn, I would have given fucking everything to be able to live in that world, among these characters, save the galaxy, fight for freedom, fall in love, make colorful friends... truly every boy's ultimate fantasy.
Great idea to play these game annually. Playing through the first game for the first time on the original Xbox and I have the second one on disc as well. Going to make it a tradition, especially if the remaster come out
Thank you for convincing me to buy the kotor games. Playing these games was probably the best gaming experience of my life. I highly recommend listening to Matty's advice and play this game.
KOTOR is my all time favorite game. I spent a good hour fixing the compatibility for windows 10. It was so worth it to be able to play my favorite game again.
I was on the fence about this series...until right now. I am going to buy KOTOR on Steam (still $9.99 in 2022). If I enjoy it, then I will buy the 2nd one. I will reply to this comment in the future with updates. Thanks, dude!
KOTOR's story is what really got me in to Star Wars honestly :) I was really shocked during the plot twist and actually had to take a 30 minute break to take it all in lol.
I still remember when I first got the old style x box, I went to my local store & bought a bunch of second hand games to muck around on. I just picked this one as I like Star Wars, but I wasn't really sold on the setting being centuries before the films were set... I played the game for a solid year, just replaying different games to see what different characters & classes did.
I tried this game after buying it in the current humble bundle and boy was it hard to get into. I gave it an hour and that was enough for me to realize it's just too slow for my tastes. I've been having a loop going of a walkthrough, while I'm doing other stuff, and I enjoy that a lot more than playing it myself. Still wasn't a waste though, I never got around to playing X-Wing Alliance and it's great.
I just picked up the first game, seeing those mini movies they dropped on TH-cam. Once It finished downloading I'm going to start. I will prob play through both, I remember my friends dad playing this on pic long long ago, the fact that it's still even alittle relevant tells me it's worth it. Thanks for making the video and getting me excited to jump alittle further into the Star Wars universe. They need a new rpg. Thoooo
I want to say a big thanks Matty. I had an old hard copy of Kotor 2 but it seemed to bug out on my new computer. Spending the $6 dollars on the steam version was well worth it. They run perfectly with no issues.
(Force Persuade) You will but KOTOR!
(Persuade) You have to play KOTOR its a good game!
(Persuade/Intimitade) Buy KOTOR... OR else...
(Awareness) I noticed a disturbing amount of people who hasnt played KOTOR yet.
(Strenght) I shall strongarm you into bying KOTOR, forcibly!
(Intelligence) You obviously aren't a smart person since you haven't played KOTOR yet...
(Wisdom) To buy KOTOR or not to buy KOTOR, that is the quesOH FUCK IT JUST BUY KOTOR NOW!!
Observation: You are my master!
Darth Revan bought it a couple days ago, well I think it was a couple days ago, haven't slept since so it hard to keep count. 🤔 it's sad how old games provide more entertainment then new ones.
(Intelligence) I find your lack of grammar disturbing.
I'd say they're worth the $10 each at full price, especially given the Steam mod support and HD integration for Kotor 2. These are two games that I spent countless hours playing when I was younger, and I still play them now.
+Zero Period Productions I have been playing these games for about 10 years now and I would play well over $60 for them. imo
+Zero Period Productions
+Zero Period Productions love you and al Zero Period and i also love kotor
+Zero Period Productions onw word f&##ing Pazaak
i may be five years to late, but think its still worth a buy?
I'm into star wars. What got me into star wars? The fucking lego games holy shit.
They were really good games!
Super underrated game in my opinion. Anyone else remember grinding for ghost yoda?
+Anthony Locante I remember grinding for ever stud in every level. Good times...
I got introduced to Star wars games by Star Wars LEGO
+Aleksandr Kresnovich The 90's Dark Horse comics for me.
Everything voice acted except the protagonist. How Fallout 4 should have been
Rastasolid l Maybe. I'm not a huge fan of story driven games. My only real issue with the voice acting is that it limited the amount of content they could make in the time they allowed themselves.
+Rastasolid l THIS is the problem with fallout 4's dialogue. Not the voiced protagonist, it's the choices that ruined it. They're literally all the same option and have no impact whatsoever. Why even have them in that case?
Fallout 4 was trying too hard to be like Mass Effect, complete with voiced protagonists and a dialogue wheel. Not the right choice to make. It should have been more like KOTOR instead.
@@tylergalligani6450 not literally..
EA- Remakes the game
$50 - Darkside DLC
Finally, someone takes the time to say it. KoTOR is by far the greatest Star Wars game, and very possibly the best representation of the Star Wars universe, including the movies. Easily my favorite game ever.
I think this is the consensus among gamers. Not at all a secret
I was wary of this game due to its age, but I finally gave into it and gave it a try. I have NOT been able to set it down since. It's an amazing RPG and I have chosen it over Fallout for like the last week whenever I have some free time to play games. I tweeted at you earlier this week Matty and you RT'd me, and just thank you again, this is an awesome game!
+WarEaglePlays I'm glad you bought it, it's a brilliant series and the hook, the addiction is real =D
+WarEaglePlays That's so cool. I have been playing this game since it came out and I try to show everyone i meet about it! it truely is a brilliant and beautiful piece of work.
never judge a game based on it's age
I bought it after watching this video. After only 10 hours in i'm addicted. I can already tell this is going to be one of my favorite games. I can't wait to start Kotor 2.
+Andrew Schmidt (zZBroffeserZz) Update: I beat. Best game ever.
KOTOR to me is something that honestly made me into a diehard Star Wars fan(Legends fan). To get personal, I used to watch the original trilogy with my uncle(who has long since been deceased) and I remembered loving those films. And the prequels I enjoyed. In short, I was a casual fan. I always knew of the Expanded Universe and never got into it as I thought it seemed too complicated. I digress.
I'll never forget when I stumbled onto my cousin who picked up and played this game. And wow. From the music to the graphics, gameplay and story, I was super immense. I'll be honest. When i watched the Original trilogy, I enjoyed them, but it never hit me how big and vast the world was. This game is a best of both worlds, combining the high world building of the PT and the heart, story and characters of the OT. I laughed, I cried. I was left speechless. To me, THIS game is Star Wars at its finest. I daresay, it's the magnum opus of the franchise. Even more than Empire. And I love Empire.
This game was what made me a Star Wars fan, seeking out all the media, novels, comics, whatever was out there. And even while having such a scope of knowledge, I'll always love KOTOR.
If I could I'd thank every single person who worked on the game, because to me this is best contribution to the mythos since the original trilogy. May the Force be with you, everyone.
My brother and I still talk about scenarios in this game as if they are our own real life memories. There are open world games. And then their our open mind games. And this game lets you explore a world with in a world with just a few choices. This game compels you to replay it at least 2 additional times. A game developers really should take notes on.
20-25 hours ?_? my first play through took me around 80 hours
Dude my first playthrough was insane I was like 6 years old.
Today I spend many hours, currently I'm 20 hours into KOTOR 2, however am choosing to restart the playthrough, I'm ready to do it legit and modded.
+Captain Leerox same
+thesebster88 HAHAHA i played 20 hours only on Taris xD
For me, my play time for both games are:
KOTOR I - approx. 40 hours
KOTOR II - 40 hours (original game) and 50-53 hours (with the TSLRCM)
12 hours lol
"Breaking News: it seems that KOTOR has broken FO4 records thanks to MrMattyPlays, KOTOR 3 has now been confirmed" already played them btw (awesome games)
+Gavin Caufman i hope so
+Gavin Caufman ea will just fuck it up.
+Gavin Caufman ea will just fuck it up.
***** sad but your right
***** EA has the rights to it?
I got these games the respective years they came out and have put at least 2 thousand hours into these games each, combined through Xbox and PC, and they are, without a doubt, my all time favorite games ever. Never before, nor since, have I come across a game so beautifully written and designed with characters that are deep. Your morality is always being questioned at every turn, even the shades of grey within these masterpieces having their own, respective, even more greyed out areas. Star Wars is the best multifaceted multimedia idea to come from humanity since forever, and with these games came the pinnacle of gaming. I am 100% sure I will never find another series as good as this magnificent piece of art.
Logan Browning beautiful man 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Logan Browning well put!
I was born in 2000, when I was around 5, my family and I moved to France. One day my older brother bought an XBOX and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2, I was incredibly young, but man, how great it was for my first Star Wars RPG to be The Sith Lords. TO THIS DAY I give the game a TRUE 10/10 rating where I am HAPPY to overlook cut content (Which, thanks to TSLRCM, is irrelevant today) and, I don't know what else, as Matty says the gameplay is not modern (I AM OVERLOOKING THAT BECAUSE THE GAME IS TOO DAMN GOOD)
Hell YES I am a FANBOY but who wouldn't be when the first video game dropped into your hands is one of the greatest of all time?
Look it up if you don't believe me, SWKOTOR, either the 1st or 2nd game, is in the TOP 3 of all time best Star Wars video games (with Star Wars: Battlefront 1 or 2 in the mix), and sure as hell in Top 100 of best RPGs of all time.
a similar story for me: I was born in 2001 and I was 4 and my Aunty got Star Wars best of the PC collection (all best star wars games) and from that time I absolutely loved Kotor more than any other one there. Though I didn't know what was going on I played it a year later and man it was so much better. Even if I never becomes canon again it will always have a special place in my heart
Me as well! Born in 2000, older brother played it then I played it later on around 6 years old(didn't really enjoy it though since I was 6 :D) but there both truly one of he beat games of all time. I just started a new kotor 2 game a week ago!
+Captain Leerox It's weird... you say you were born in 2000 and it makes me think that you're 6.
But you're probably 15-16 xD
ThePooper3000 XD
Yes I am 15.
+Captain Leerox Im 14 and my brother also got the game when it cane out as well as the first one, It has had such a huge impact on me and I love these games. We need a KOTOR 3.
The very moment I'm able to get the second one, I will buy it without a single hesitation. The first game was just so fucking good.
I don’t even really “love” the movies, yet KOTOR is one of my favorite things of all time.
Just got both KOTOR games and battlefront 2 on steam. Thanks matty :)
Nice buy. I love the original battlefronts before EA shat one out of there ass.
wise man
Ive been thinking about getting the older battlefronts actually. are they worth it?
ImmortalPhoenix fuck yes. battlefront 2 alone has way more content and is overall more fun than battlefront EA. thats not even counting the mods. its only 3 bucks on steam too.
I just got Kotor on my phone
U just cant get them to understand a game that is 10 years old, they will always bitch about something, players that never played it just cant get into it ( not all of them, but a lot of them). But for us who played it way back then its an amazing game because the game in that time was fucking super amazing! And i would really love Kotor 3! Its just an amazing Rpg!
TEN YEARS OLD!! Dear lord... Time flies by...
dude I love this game so much every time I hear the music and see the world's combined with the music its just nostalgic
+Indzo Tebra Agreed!!
+Luke I totatally agree
I agree as well
Nice to hear someone being as passionate as I am about KOTOR :>
Fell in love with these games back in the day and is still in my top 3 favorite games ever
If you didn't grow up with Kotor 1 and 2 then you straight up missed out.
Hey Matty, can you do a KOTOR 1/2 series?
that would be awesome
yes that would be awesome
+lewis white ehhh maybe. It is an awesome game, but bioware games can at times be a little boring to watch.
He started a KOTOR 1 series but ended it a year ago after only 2 episodes :( I wish he would continue it
Aaawww come on Matty!
Bought the game, played for almost 20 hours, Steam screwed up, I lost all of my saves; I got depressed, shrugged, and restarted. I don't think any of you understand how odd that is for me. I usually NEVER replay a game, ESPECIALLY if something like that happens. That just goes to show how much I adore KotOR. It's a little confusing if you have no former knowledge of the game mechanics (it was a lot easier the second time around), but you can catch on fairly quickly. The worlds are huge and beautiful for such an old game, and the story is freaking fabulous. I'd recommend this game 10/10 hands down.
bought a 360 just for kotor 3..... yep, that was tough
Ryan Work dang man
KoToR 3 doesn't exist...
Wow you must have spend a whole 60 bucks
Alex K kotor 3 was set to be released in the prime of the 360 so it would have been over $250
Alex K kotor 3 was set to be released in the prime of the 360 so it would have been over $250
Cool video here. I couldn't agree more that these games are both *"must play"* games. I just got both of them fpr PC on sale for $3.49 each (as well as a few other STAR WARS games) about a week and a half ago on GOG. I also got the KOTOR II: Sith Lords Restored Content mod that restores a lot of the cut content in the game due to EA rushing Bioware to release the game too early as wrll as the Droid Planet mod that adds a lot more depth to the original backstory.
Gonna be my first time ever playing the game like that and I can'can't wait. I hope the game plays smoothly and without hiccups. I've been trying to convince my cousin to play these games and I feel he's almost there. I just have to give him a few more nudges. Again, cool video here.
(P.S. By the way, don't know if you know but, metal swords were a part of the STAR WARS Expanded Universe before KOTOR was made. The same Expanded Universe that the KOTOR games are in...)
KOTOR is my favourite game of all time.
Matt didn't mention it but if you play through KOTR 1 a certain plot point will leave you jaw dropped. So when playing 2 (which you will after the awesomeness that is 1) don't get your expectations too high for some major jaw dropping moments as good as the first game. 2 is AMAZING, but the story doesn't hit you in the chest leaving you breathless like 1 did.
Thanks for making this video Matty, the last couple of days i have been wondering if i should buy this and you made me make up my mind.
If your going to play it don't watch any videos on it. KOTOR 1 has a big spoiler.
Ryebredrox Thanks for the heads up, i like playing a game without knowing ther story first hand.
+Troxiuz you have made a great decision and a wise one my padawan
+Troxiuz Good luck!
There have been so many Star Wars games made, and these are incredible on every level. I still play them once in awhile. It's not good for 2010, it is great for 2017. I bought them again on Steam last year, in a package, for $9.99, and it is still worth the 49.99 I paid for each way back when.
Pod racing, Pazaak, great battles, great story, great crafting, did I mention great? So many aliens, choices, customization... I can't say anything bad about it.
This game is what reinvigorated my interest in 'Star Wars'.
I can totally relate to you, because this game got me into star wars , i play it every summer (exept for 2) and its my favourite game of all time, i really like that you made this video hopefully they remake these games, but i dont want them to change the combat to more fast based, because its already almost perfect and we need these kinda deep, tactical rpgs, because i dont see them that often anymore and they are so awesome. Keep it up Matty!
I know I‘m kinda 6 years late to your comment. I think fast paced action would be great for the remake. Maybe do something like final fantasy 7 remake did where you have the option to play on the new combat system or a classic mode with the old system. That way you make the game more accessible for players and everyone will be happy 😁
OK, so I got 40 bucks from my aunt for Christmas, and there is a major steam sale, how, just how can I say no!
You won't regret it!!!
+Lumer Arkenstone I already bought like 6 games but they were all so cheap! :D Including KotOR 1 and 2
+Linnda i bought them both on disc in 2008 and one disk ran away and kotor 1 is fine i played it again this year but kotor 2 left me :(
Oh no, but well it's super cheap now (like 3 euros!) so maybe now is your chance to get the second one back :D
Linnda my computer is broken :,(
Just played kotor for the first time over the past couple weeks and I'm really glad I did, thanks for the recommendation!
Anybody else LOVE The Jedi Academy Series?
Starting to play it.
yes dude
+Vault405 was there more then one?
***** There was a lot more then 1 XD
+petar babic I'm a big fan of the second Jedi Academy as well. Kyle is a badass but so is Jaden...
I personally love the combat in the game. It really has some strategic depth giving you reason to try many different ways to win.
One of the best video game series ever
I fucking love this game so much, and I feel so passionate for this flawless game (still flawed but my fan boyism can't help it).
I'm with you Matty, these games are amazing. Every year or two I go through and beat them again. I hope they make a remastered version, because I would play the hell out of that!
KotOR is the best game of all time
Yes
Nah, Baldur's Gate 2 is
You said there isn't reading because everything is fully voiced but you still have to read the different alien dialog and there is a fair amount.
"Visceral's game"..... So sad it breaks my heart....
I also play anually. Just finished kotor 2 yesterday. I trained my entire crew to be jedi. But KOTOR series is probly my favourite game series ever. That awesome feeling of getting more and more powerful is soooo satisfying! And all the knowledge you learn throughout these games, about reven and malak, jedi civil war, force bonds, how to kill jedi, sith techniques etc. Just awesome and essential to any SW fan!
I played it and graphics didn't matter or the really heavy and kinda confusing RPG and skill system. I mainly couldn't get with the turn based system. Probably because of all of the action RPGs now, this game is definitely a true RPG, for better or for worse (regarding people who have never played it and are used to action instead of turn based).
I tried this game about 10 years ago and couldn't get into it, despite being a big Star Wars fan. But I also didn't have the patience for these kind of RPGs back then, opting for more casual Oblivion-esque RPGs and FPSs. You've convinced me to give it another look now that my RPG taste has grown more refined.
Such an epic game series and yes it is arguably the best game series of all time, we need another Star Wars RPG from Bioware although I'll admit that I dont think a Kotor reboot would work (they should just make a game set 100 years after TOR imo, no need to get rid of all the great lore) if not that then one set between Episodes 3 and 4, I dont really see a KOTNR game working as there isnt really a New Jedi Order in the new canon...either way, Bioware get on it and give us another epic Star Wars RPG!
I've been subscribed to this channel for a while and I've heard Matty gush about his love for KOTOR, and I always have agreed. This was my favorite game on Xbox and I still love it to this day. With original Xbox emulation coming to Xbox One soon I really want this to be one of the available titles.
On another note I'd really love it if Matty did a walk through or Let's Play on the KOTOR series. Seeing his reaction and seeing the community interact as we all adventure through the lush fields of Dantooine, or the dense dangerous underbelly of Kashyyk, would do wonders for my viewing pleasure.
You convinced me to buy KOTR I and II for only CAD $5.48 today!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bought it before you ended the video!!!!!!!!!
I play this annually myself Matty, been playing it since it was still on Xbox, not Xbox 360 but the original xbox. I bought the PC disc sets of both games when i moved on to a PC but the discs are old and kinda on their last legs so i was thinking of re getting them on steam for the smoother file management and lack of need of the discs. Like you I really want a remastering of the games or even better a brand new game. I really hope they get their butts in gear and make one or even both of these things happen. I'm with you all the way on this one! KOTOR All the way forever!!!
He’s right. These are one of the best games ever
*2 of the best
Throughout my life, I've always been a Star Wars fan. I played the LEGO games, Battlefront, Battlefront II, even Super Bombad Racing. In early 2016, I came across Knights of the Old Republic on Steam. I bought both of them because I'd heard they were good. When KotOR finished installing, I started it up. I then didn't put the game down for 8 hours without a break. It was very nostalgic for me because Jeremy Soule did the soundtrack (Harry Potter Games, Elder Scrolls). It's an amazing game and anyone who is reading this should buy the game if you enjoy a unique story, romantic attractions and expanded universe tales. I still haven't finished KotOR II yet but it's amazing so far. The first KotOR will always be my favorite though.
But Matty, it is not canon *slams head into the table* ITS NOT CANON *slams head into the FUCKING TABLE * ITS NOT FUCKING CANON ANYMORE *SLAMS DISNEY'S HEAD INTO THE FUCKING TABLE*
Damn Disney, I'll never forgive them for that...I wish they would just declare the whole era as canon for crying out loud I hope they dont reboot it
+Mudcrab Menace The Old republic era is canon. Darth Bane is canon, we just don't know any specific events that happened other than that the Jedi fought the Sith.
Patrick Garvey No it is not. No Blizzard Star wars game is canon anymore. Darth Bane is canon because he makes an appereance in Star Wars The Clone Wars.
Mudcrab Menace Yeah, if they could, I think they would make the last 2 trilogis non-canon. Disney most likely wants to do their little thing with Star Wars and not caring about any other instalment of the Star Wars franchise. But I say that we believe in what canon we want, try seeing it like 2 parallel dimensions, one in which is the EU canon, and one that is Disney Canon...ahh, canon?
Fall Boy I really don't want Disney to reboot the era if that's what you mean, so much good lore that should be kept
I've never met someone who likes these games more than me, until now. Every summer? When I heard you say that, I felt so sad because I've only gone back to play these games a few times in all these years, but I truly do love them as well. Still have my original xbox copies.
I just can't wait when it's bioware turn to make a star wars game again that isn't old republic
As for video games introducing kids to Star Wars, I was 4 when the Phantom Menace came out, so I knew what Star Wars was as a concept, through cultural osmosis. 4 years later, at a family friend's house, the family friend let me play his GBA, for which he had Star Wars: The New Droid Army.
For those unfamiliar, it was an isometric game that came out in 2002, and in it you play Anakin, in the interim between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. It's a good detective story, and it's interplanetary as well, it's a huge game for the format it was, and the combat was really good as well. Underrated game imo.
lol I'm on 34 hours and still not finished with the game yet.
VanHallen52 I spent 58 hours in the og Xbox versión of Kotor 1 and im only complete taris, the davik’s state (before you stolen the ebon hawk from davik) and dantooine 🤣🤣 this game got many content bro more than any current game in this days my controller was damaged before the Quarantine and Im taking back in android and pc imagine the frustration
I've purchased so many copies of this game and I've never felt like I waisted money. I've beaten this game more times than I can count in every way possible and still find stuff on play throughs that I hadn't seen in previous play throughs. add in the lost content mod, and damn.
I really hope this is remastered I'd gladly pay 40 bucks, shit I'd pay 60 bucks, to play it on x1.
These are my all time favorite games, totally share your passion for this game.
I actually prefer KOTOR 2 to KOTOR 1.
Me to. Only because KOTOR 2 works on steam.
Same here.
Agreed
It was always my favorite, but the update (Which shows people still care) pushed it pretty far ahead, especially with TSLRCM and the AMAZING polished aspects absent from K1.
+Dr Caramel I love the level of thought. Growing up as Kotor 2 being one of biggest influences to think differently
Kotor was integral to my childhood. Ah I remember the days when I would beg my brother to play Knights Of The Old Republic! Honestly, Kotor is one of my fav games of all time, its still better than some modern games (which is rediculous). It is at least in the top 3 Star Wars games. And btw thanks Matty for letting me know there was a steam sale on KOTOR II because I might never have bought it otherwise!!!
I've seen guides where you can turn on your lightsaber when not in combat mode to slice open security containers, is that some kind of mod that lets you do that? I'm playing on a original Xbox console and it seems my saber will only ignite if I'm in combat mode.
When you highlight/target locked containers or doors, a "Bash" icon will appear. Select "Bash" and you'll automatically beat on the door or container.
Michael Proctor what version of this game you are playing pc? Or android
yeah they did a complete 180* when they did the first MassEffect, they switched to pure cover based gameplay, they even made the hardest difficulty in it called "insane" like in GOW...they couldn't even think of their own version of the hardest mode, something like "Spectre" would have done nicely!!!
call me creazy ..i think I like swotor more than kotor. why? well in swortor you can play as a sith and as a jedi starting in the academy of each one. each class have their own unique story. and very good story for each class the sith inquisitor story was amazing and warrior too. The combat in Swotor is amazing and now 2016 is way better. Kotor combat is good but not that special is very repetitive.
Dude... I love swtor but any mmo like swotor or wow is literally the definition of repetitive
***** Ture but i mean the combat. in swotor you have with each class a whole different tree to choose with a variarity of abilities to use. while in kotor well not many...
MMO are repetitive but in swotor at least you have two factions the sith and the republic with amazing classes with different stories.
Rastasolid l I still like more Swotor. while kotor 1 and 2 have a very good story. Swotor have not just one good story but many good stories. different experinces. an overall better experiance for me. While i spend a lot of hours in the kotor series i still play swotor and not even experiance everything. the game keep getting more conent sh.RP .pvp. new dlcs. But SWOTOR is an MMO while kotor series are rpg single player is unfair to campare them in all aspects. Everything is base on the player taste. some player like you love the single focus story of kotor while some player like me love the many stories focus.
Rastasolid l I feel you . i acutally enjoy the talks with keira
Paolo Lancaster I don't wanna be a downer and you might've relized this SWTOR IS DYING
While swords are not carried by any main characters in the movies, metal melee weapons do make their appearance in the movies in the form of battleaxe, force pikes, electrostaff and various vibroblades. They are also used quite often in the novels and graphic novels.
the story and atmosphere of this game was so much better than any of the movies
I need to get these on steam, I played them way back in the day and loved them. A few months ago I picked up KOTOR 1 on Android and played through it on my phone. This game has so much story, and is told through so many little scenes that I didn't realize how much of it I had forgotten, it was like I had never played it before.
I was further blown away by how well these games hold up in terms of content. The graphics are really outdated for sure, but the game is honestly good enough that I stopped noticing within my first 15 minutes.
I agree, if someone likes western style rpg's and/or star wars I sincerely doubt they would have any regrets after buying this for $10, regardless if they had played it before or not. There are really good reasons why KOTOR 1 & 2 show up on best games of all time lists all over the internet.
I would actually say that both games benefit if you play KOTOR before KOTOR2.
Own both on xbox, loved them since day one. Everyone was always raving about Battlefront, which is a classic of course, but they were missing out on such a gem. These games are incredible, i absolutely love them
Here at 20 views... Last time I was this early- Never mind.
oh you...
+Ulfrifc Oh, hey hows it going?
+FuriousPhoenix great man what about you?
+Ulfrifc It's a mixed bag.
+FuriousPhoenix oh, if you don't mind my asking why would that be?
I love how passionate you are about these games. I remember playing KOTOR2 on the original Xbox back in the day. That was probably my first RPG. I think I'm gonna buy the first one on my iPhone. I've been on the fence about it but your video convinced.
Kotor is my favorite game ever right next to oblivion, kotor's ost is amazing gameplay is awesome the atmosphere is great Kotor 2 was a great game to but it doesn't grab me like Kotor 1 don't get me wrong it's an amazing game but I just don't like it as much.
I felt grasped of how much I cared for the story, and weirdly enough I really cared emotionally for the characters (especially Bastila) and story.
Enclave Soldier I hated Bastilla I never romanced here because she's so annoyinh
Query: would you like me to terminate Bastilla?
HK - 47 yes
MATT THANK YOU FOR THIS. the way you feel about the KOTOR series is exactly the same as me!! Weekly I check for news on the game. I also play the game at least once a year if not more. Everyone needs to check it out.
Disgusting Speculation.... Kotor 3
like Matty, I grew up on this game. I have no idea how many builds I have in on it. It was my go go game on my Xbox until it died. By far the best RPG games out there. The fact that they are over a decade old makes that achievement all the more amazing. The games are worth every penny.
In my opinion KOTOR 1 is wayyy better than KOTOR 2. (KOTOR 2 is also a grat game, just not as good as the first one)
What do you like about 1 that 2 doesn't have?
The story. Both games have great story, but KOTOR one to me feels better written. I like the characters and story progression more. But if i have to point something specific it will be the AMAZING plot twist with Revan.
-----------------------------------SPOILER------------------------------------
When you find out that you are Revan, that for me was just the best plot twist i have ever seen.
Davidrsq Can I just say thanks for the spoiler warning! Not many on youtube are so considerate.
I just started KOTOR 2 and finished 1 recently, but so far I find the writing of 2 to be much better than 1. I loved 1, it was great, I loved most characters, and that twist was mindblowing, but already in KOTOR 2 the Sith lord with the broken body is so incredibly threatening compared to Malak, who seems like a cartoon villain by comparison.
The writing is deeper and darker than Star Wars has any right to be and I love it. But I get that it's unStarWarsy, and I hear that without the Restored Content Mod the game seriously breaks down in the plot departement in late game. We'll see! I'm only on Telos just now. But it's funny how games that look so similar can feel so different.
Advancedgod I can see why you say that. KOTOR 2 does have a darker story, and Darth Nihilus is certainty an interesting character. I guess is just a matter of taste. I like KOTOR 1 better and i can see you like KOTOR 2 better, but we can agree that both are grat games.
+Davidrsq
Kotor 2 gets a lot by the content restoration mod - without the mod kotor 1 was definitely stronger with the mod I can't decide yet - I think I have to replay them.
I bought both for Xbox one backwards compatibility while I watched this. I'm a huge Star Wars fan and I'm looking forward to getting into these. Thanks for the great video.
I remember as a little kid going to movie trading company with my grandmother and seeing kotor 2 on the shelf (I had no idea what it was) I thought the cover art looked cool so I begged my grandmother to buy it for me and she finally agreed, at the counter the guy helping us asked me "are you sure you want THIS game?" at the time I thought he was making a knock on my age being under the "T for teen" advisement, but I said "yeah" and so he chuckled and put it in the bag and rang it up, when I got home and started playing I naturally fell in love with the game, but I quickly realized none of the characters from the cover art of the case were in the actual game, I later realized when I was a bit older that the cashier that day switched the kotor 2 disc out for kotor 1 when I wasn't looking, he did me a huge favor and had I not, maybe I would not have found my favorite game of all time!
I played it when it originally first came out on the first Xbox. I fell in love with it like I did Elder Scrolls III. I had no idea it was out on mobile. You convinced me, I got it on my iPad Air 2! I'm so excited!!!
Also my favorite game ever, and the second game is top ten. I grew up with the movies, but this was the thing that made me love Star Wars.
2017 steam sale and I just got these games a few days ago, played through Kotar 1 and started Kotar 2 today. These are the Star Wars games I've been waiting for all my life, a Star Wars RPG with a system based off of Dungeons and Dragons. This game is everything I have ever dreamed of, I can really become the Jedi or Sith I want to be.
After hearing you tell me to buy this game for about a year now I finally bought it. And I love it!
Your series about how the game had nostalgia effect actually is what made me find your channel. I was going through the same things.
Old video; but it’s worth mentioning that the original KoToR crashes right after the character creation screen unless you turn off shadows and frame buffer. I was very frustrated for about 30 minutes until I finally looked it up on a forum. LOL!
But I’m a noobie into this series (just found the code to get off of Taris, don’t spoil anything for me) but I can confirm everything you’re talking about. I can’t wait to see what else the game offers, but just the first planet of Taris has been an incredibly rewarding and expansive experience. Slow gameplay? So what? I can play the Battlefronts and Jedi Outcasts if I wanted something faster. This game is all about world-building, and the slow pace is incredibly effective in this format.
And although I’m not usually a fan of turn-based combat, this game makes it very easy to grasp what your options are, and once you have a squad, you’ll be able to take everybody down fairly quickly.
I am just absolutely in love with this game already, and I can’t wait to see what else it offers.
I bought kotor 1 and 2 a while back when they were on sale but never really got the chance to play them. After watching this video I'm gonna start playing them. Thanks for the vid Matty
Just bought this game like a week ago after Matty talked about it a while ago and just beat it last night and holy shit this game was amazing. The story was incredible and I never saw that awesome plot twist and wow I truly hope they make Kotor 3 and I'll be playing kotor 2 soon. Thanks a lot for the recommendation Matty!
Finishing the first KotOR game for me was like seeing a good friend off at the train station, knowing it will be a long time before you see each other again. Damn, I would have given fucking everything to be able to live in that world, among these characters, save the galaxy, fight for freedom, fall in love, make colorful friends... truly every boy's ultimate fantasy.
Just got this game yesterday I'm gonna play it as soon as I'm finished with the Witcher all I got left is blood and wine
Great idea to play these game annually. Playing through the first game for the first time on the original Xbox and I have the second one on disc as well. Going to make it a tradition, especially if the remaster come out
Thank you for convincing me to buy the kotor games. Playing these games was probably the best gaming experience of my life. I highly recommend listening to Matty's advice and play this game.
KOTOR is my all time favorite game. I spent a good hour fixing the compatibility for windows 10. It was so worth it to be able to play my favorite game again.
Who else is here after the new remake trailer
I was on the fence about this series...until right now. I am going to buy KOTOR on Steam (still $9.99 in 2022). If I enjoy it, then I will buy the 2nd one. I will reply to this comment in the future with updates. Thanks, dude!
Currently doing another playthrough now
God I love this fucking game
KOTOR's story is what really got me in to Star Wars honestly :) I was really shocked during the plot twist and actually had to take a 30 minute break to take it all in lol.
I would love it if you made a let's play of these games. PLEEEEASE MATTY!
I bought the first one a while back. You defiantly peeked my interest and I am going to check out the game again.
LOVE IT MATTY!!! Keep pumping them out, my favorite game
Subscibed because i love the series so much and he explains it great.
I still remember when I first got the old style x box, I went to my local store & bought a bunch of second hand games to muck around on. I just picked this one as I like Star Wars, but I wasn't really sold on the setting being centuries before the films were set... I played the game for a solid year, just replaying different games to see what different characters & classes did.
I tried this game after buying it in the current humble bundle and boy was it hard to get into. I gave it an hour and that was enough for me to realize it's just too slow for my tastes. I've been having a loop going of a walkthrough, while I'm doing other stuff, and I enjoy that a lot more than playing it myself. Still wasn't a waste though, I never got around to playing X-Wing Alliance and it's great.
I just picked up the first game, seeing those mini movies they dropped on TH-cam. Once It finished downloading I'm going to start. I will prob play through both, I remember my friends dad playing this on pic long long ago, the fact that it's still even alittle relevant tells me it's worth it. Thanks for making the video and getting me excited to jump alittle further into the Star Wars universe. They need a new rpg. Thoooo
I want to say a big thanks Matty. I had an old hard copy of Kotor 2 but it seemed to bug out on my new computer. Spending the $6 dollars on the steam version was well worth it. They run perfectly with no issues.
Thanks for the vid. I'm officially playing the 1st one today. On xbox.
You seem very passionate and I respect that as a fellow gamer. Keep up the vids
This was definitely one of my top 10 RPG's of all time, but I'm not someone who can go back and play older games. At the time though, it was amazing.
