Seriously, what's with the KOTOR fanboys polluting this forum? This is EU and Literature, not "omfg kotor rox00rz lol!!!!@@!!".

KotOR is great literature isn't it?

*kicks kotor from this forum forever with the shoe of George Lucas*

Hey no messing with Kotor...

It can create quite the interesting topics and it has some good characters... Tobad it created a lot of sucky threads as well...

Deus Ex
My point, really. Half a million thread on how KOTOR pwns all and should be canon despite its inconsistancies, etc.

i would say amen but I'm not a reverend anymore so I say; "My diagnosis, KOTOR fanboys = pwned3d".

Problem is that KotOR has little place in an EU forum, it's vastly inconsistent and sometimes even contradictory. It should be ranked lower than even "official" comics and books, simply because it was made more for entertainment purposes instead of story purposes.

I don't see anyone touting the Jedi Knight series, even though it was successful.

Holy crap. blink Since when has KOTOR sucked? Sure, it pollutes the forum, but I thought it was a great game.

Gryn Jabar
It is a great game, but the fanboys aren't. The fact remains it's IMO the best exploration of the old republic, minus of course classics like TOTJ.

It all gets to your head, and soon you find yourself making anti-Kotor threads.

Word. I logged on and saw no fewer than three new thread by Nactuos which ranged from "Omfg KOTOR rulez" to "omfg Kotor should be canon" to "omfg kotor is better than rots".

It gets old. KOTOR was good. Not -that- good.

Darth Koroni
So? There are also reatrded NJO fans, should we banish NJO from the boards. You don't blame a product for it's consumers idiocy, you blame the idiots.

Darth_Glentract
That is what he is doing. And KOTOR was good. NJO was bad.(Unless referring to the New Jawa Order)

Darth Koroni
Not really, I mean everything in between the Endar Spire and Rakata is heaps upon heaps of a dog's breakfeast. Then Rakata was were the wheels fell off and they just stopped trying.

Ok ok, let's try and keep this thread useful.

Nactous
I dont think it has a use, if I was a mod i'd shut it down.

Deus Ex
Meh, if I was a mod I'd keep a tight leash on you with all those KOTOR threads. Three in a row, really.

But if Ush wants to deep-six this thread, by all means. I was just striving to make a point. And since subtlety is lost around here for the most part, this thread was the next best thing.

overlord
I now realise my extreme posts. I will now go on talking about how much KotOR sucks instead, everything to make you guys happy.. I love you guys.. cry

KotOR? Isn't there a SW game forum? Aargh!! ranting

Oh, I am sorry, your just someone else with a useless thread.

And more good threads and arguments under my belt than you've ever had. Please. Don't bore me with petty third grade insults. Go play KOTOR for the eigthieth time or something.

Doubt that.

Ushgarak
Look, am I going to have to make one big thread for KOTOR, haters and lovers all?

It is a fair topic to complain about KOTOR fanboyism, so if we can keep things civil, this is the place to do it.

Deus Ex
Fair enough. Mum's the word from me. I just wanted to get the point out there; not everyone needs KOTOR crammed down their throat. I played the game when it first came out, I played the sequel this past year. They are good and I look forward to the third edition. Canonwise, they trip over themselves like a greased up blind man and starting threads on KOTOR being better than ROTS is subjective and likely to incite arguments, riots, and the occassional flame war.

overlord
Let's make this thread the 'Giggletime thread' of KotOR, I love this threads title! And every other KotOR thread deleted!! WTF! Tres cool idea of mine!! haha! hurray!!!

I liked KOTOR and holy shiznit is was a fun game for me, but I won`t sacrifice my boyfriend for it or something.....

What? The movies don't have inconsistencies? They're worse than KOTOR in that department. But, no, being movies, they're canon, and you can come up with an excuse as to why leia can remember her mothers face, even tho padme died ten seconds after she gave birth. "But the force.." *Shakes head in disgust*

Movies by the way which are the original. So no matter what you like more in terms of entertainment, the movies will always be the basis for every piece of EU out there.

Julie
the load time have sucked but the game's awesome

Darth Faunus
It was a good game, yeah. But as said, nothing to isolate yourself with. I myself thought Battlefront a superior game in certain aspects.

Julie
battlefront was good....I didn't play it all that much but it was still a good game...fun"ner" to play in a group

Welcome back bro. It's like the old days, fighting the good fight. Heres your answer Deus Ex, its popular, now get over it, whining acting like a little noob.

Excuse me? Did you just call me out after a direct warning from the moderator to keep it civil? You must be slower than I thought.

I see where you are coming from but if you always went by the origional then Luke and Leia would be midgets,Boba would be dead, and it would have been obvious that in ROTS Sids threw the fight.

Just to throw people off I will always go with the movies over any other source.

Ushgarak
Nac, you've been warned- cut that out.

Darth Traya
Look, Nactous, we appreciate that you obviously like KotOR very much. However, that does not mean that you have to waste bandwidth because you have an infatuation with the aforementioned game.

If you love KotOR so much, then why don't you close the browser window, and play it right now?

But Luke and Leia practically ARE midgets, Boba DESERVES to be dead, and frankly, Palpatine's victory over Mace and his quick recovery afterwards, and the explanation of being super-powerful enough to beat Yoda would make a whole lot more sense if GL would just say that Palps took a dive in order to inspire sympathy from Anakin.

Darth Koroni
Why should any part of RotS make sense when almost all of the movie had none?

KOTOR is part of the Expanded Universe, which seems to be part of the forum's title.

Oh...really ? Where are all that inconsistencies in the movies. Either you don't understand the movies or you did never have a close look on KotoR.

What about:
- Revan and Malak using the title "Darth" nearly 3,000 years before it was invented
- Tulak Hord. An entire person who could never have existed like this because of horrible inconsistencies around his person. He must have died before Sadow (to have a tomb on Korriban) on the other handside he used a lightsaber and the Sith did discover that weapons first after Sadows time
- tombs on Korriban of Sith Lords that can't have existed (Hord) or couldn't have been burried on the planet because they died 600 years after the downfall of the Sith Empire on the other side of the Galaxy (Naga Sadow)
- stupid item boni (like Marka Ragnos gloves giving special lightsaber talents despite the fact Ragnos never used a lightsaber)



Oh yes. A single person able to go through a planet filled with knowledge while leading a war against the Republic or the ability to learn things in weeks other people needed years for (Revan) is much more logical than Leia remembering Padme. It's nearly as logical as somebody remembering NOTHING from his former life except the exact positions of some 10,000 of years old artifacts he once found.

KotoR is one of my favourite games but you realy can't say it's more acceptable as "canon" material than the movies.

overlord
It's already weird that there are inconsistancies.. Anywhere. Before writing anything Star Wars they should do their homework better, I don't think it is impossible these days to NOT make errors, but that's my opinion.

Supposively they DID do their homework, but I think with that many people working on a project, wires got crossed.

In any case, the main goal of a game is fun, not ocnsistancy.

No, no. I meant that a game should be about ocnsistancies! hahaha, whatevz..
Anyway, they could have done their homework better, sure it was just for fun, but an RPG represents story too! They could for example note the times to avoid what Nai Foj was talking about.

Fishy
The only really bad thing is the title Darth but well for all we know they came up with the title for the first time. Doesn't really matter all that much to me, a stupid mistake but hell it works for a lot of people.

And of course the game has its mistakes, but most pieces of EU contradict something, whether it be the movies or another piece of EU. Really it shouldn't matter all that much. You just have to look at the bigger picture.

overlord
Hey, Fishy. Couldn't they have just set the whole KotOR history some years further? I don't know much about KotOR (i'm just commenting on other peoples info) but would that have made it right or would that create even more inconsistancies?

Tangible God

Hold on, you can have your KotOR bashing but atleast change the name if people, like myself find it offensive. Ush changed my EU title topic because it included"stomps the movies." And someone had to whine about it.

None. I actually like it. I just feel the wave of people who keep saying KOTOR is better than the series it's based off of it getting tiresome and ridiculous.

Well, I mean its extremly popular, and its a mass idea, if people think like this, you cant change there opinion.

He had no intention of. It's just irritating how people are so die-hard about the game.

I have to agree with Tangible. Dedication to the important things in life is admirable. But to a video game? I don't think so. That's what's called obsession.

Well, if there dedicated about a small thing like a video game, they will just be out of there minds for something real and worth while, its shows there level of dedication.

Videogames are like a genre in life, a different attitude or mindset, different from everything else--like sex.

You can be as "dedicated" as you want, but to a videogame, when it comes to obsession in a fantasy world, something that IS NOT REAL, or never will be, is not healthy.

You probably won't die, you MAY not get sick from spending so much time on the couch or in a chair, but it's not normal.

No, if you dedicated to a small ting, like a game, you would be deepley dedicated to something like a person, or idea.

Sesse
Not likely, since you would be spending all your time with the game.

WindDancer
KOTOR Pwned any other SW video game out there. I'm more of a Bastila fanboy. So you can see I love the game just for the character. stick out tongue

Don't assume that just because one thing is so, that something else will be as well. I'm dedicated to finding my remote control which the dog hides every night. I can spend hours looking for it. Really it's a small matter, I've got two remotes, plus the buttons on the TV, it makes no difference. But I'm dedicated to finding it.

My job however, is not a small matter. I need it for a living and a source of income. I'm not dedicated to IT though. I couldn't care if I get fired, I treat it like anyone would the missing remote...insignificant.

So why is real life and video-games any different? Just because you're dedicated to one thing, no matter how small, does not mean you're so dedicated to the everything else.

Nactous
Dude, it shows your leveal of dedication to something small and something large, btw Happy Haloween. And I just got Episode 3 last night on DVD, and btw Battle Front 2 rocks.

Deus Ex
Is Nactous Latin for narrow-minded?

Tangible God
Must be. The guy couldn't even spell "level."

See what all that KOTOR is doing to him?

Deus Ex
He probably gets up every day and "levels up" before going to seventh grade... again.

Tangible God
Man, he must be at like leveal 39!

I'm gonna play World of Warcraft for 144 hours on end and get to leveal 32 so I can sell my Warlock's battleaxe for more money!!

That's not obsessive........it's dedication.

Deus Ex
Yeah. Here's some dedication:

When Nactous turns on his little computer he will probably get angry and report you guy's and probably get banned again for abusing the report system AGAIN!! eek!
