Kyle Katarn is the lamest jedi EVER. When I first played the game and Luke mentioned that some of the students would be studying under "Master Horn" I got so excited('I Jedi' is one of my favorite books). "OO, I wanna study under Corran Horn, I do I do!!!!"
But I got stuck with Kyle and that thinly veiled dark side-turner Roth or whateverhisnamewas.
I'm so sick of people saying crap like "the Force never depletes" and "theres no Force Powers, just the Force". Give me a break you guys. ITS A FRIGGIN GAME. Games must have balanced mechanics and be understandable to new gamers. Not everyone who plays JA is as big a SW fan as we are. By breaking down the force into "powers" it makes the game easier to grasp. Also, the Force may not deplete, but the users strength does, hence the need for a Force Meter. What else are they gonna do? Maybe you want the Force activated by pressing the right mouse button, and then your computer will just instinctively know what you want to do with the Force at that given time, maybe because you have that new Nvidia Mind Reading Card on your system...I admit that no game has really nailed being a Jedi yet, but considering what scrutinizing, anal, mistake-hunting geeks we all are I don't think a game will ever make all of us happy.
Lastly, for the guy who said it was too hard to activate different powers during a heated fight, try mapping your individual powers to different keys that are easily reachable. I mapped all of my most useful powers to keys surrounding my movement keys. Worked for me.
And proud of it <grins>
I won an XBox in a raffle at the last company Xmas party (I worked for Atari, so the place was full of gamers and the like). It was like the biggest prize being given out, all the VIPs are there with their wives and whatnot, and I screamed "XBox can suck it!!!" at the top of my lungs in a Dave & Busters party room. I then proceeded to the stage to collect my prize.
...yeah I was drunk, so?
I sold it to my boss the next day for 200 bucks. I used the cash to replace my busted PS2, hehe.
Sorry to go so far off-topic, but I stand by my words..."XBOX CAN SUCK IT."
