Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Star Wars: KotOR II updated with new features, Mac, Linux

http://bestgamewallpapers.com/files/kotor-2-sith-lords/darth-nihilus.jpg

In a MASSIVE update today, Aspyr has brought Knights of the Old Republic II to Mac and Linux, along with giving all versions a slew of features. It will support Steam Cloud, Achievements, and Steam Workshop mods, and the Restored Content mod will be available day 1; It comes with native widescreen support in resolutions up to 5k; and the big one... CONTROLLER SUPPORT. The keyboard/mouse controls really turned me off of these games, so it's good to see controller support, and from what I've heard the Restored Content mod makes the game infinitely better.

The game is 25% off in celebration of the new stuff.

Experiment time!

With the recent Star Wars Humble Bundle Jon and I were discussing playing through The two Knights of the Old Republic games at the same time and discussing our play throughs as we go. Well, I got to thinking, what if I invited the rest of the CG community to participate too? Sort of like a book club, but for games! So here's the deal:

For the rest of the month of February I'm starting an event where we can all discuss our play-throughs in depth. If you've never played Kotor before you can pick it up on the cheap through https://www.humblebundle.com/ right now. Anyone is welcome to join!

Yes but if it's KotOR we'll be talking about the same game for two years.

Should be plenty for everyone to talk about then. :P The event ends at the end of the month though, lol.

I really wish I had time to play this!

I'll probably jump in after Valentine's Day. Kotor is one of my favorites.

This is a cool idea, Tim! I never did finish KotOR, so this might be a good time to jump back into it.

Adam: As far as RPG's go, this one is fairly short and accessible. I was thinking it would take about 20 hours to get through, but a quick Google search suggests it's more like 28-30 unless you're a completionist. Also, I want this to be a pretty chill and fun experience for everyone, so I'm not worries if people don't complete the game by the end of the month. :)

Vdogmr25: Awesome! We look forward to having you join the discussion! :D

Also, since this is kind of an experiment to see if this is something we'll do again in the future, I'm really flexible with dates or what-not. If we have some people join up later in the month and everyone wants more time to discuss and play the game, then I'll gladly extend the event.

Star Wars Force Chokes It's Way To Humble Bundle

Recently GOG picked up a ton of classic Star Wars titles that were previously a bit hard to track down. If you were waiting to pick those up on GOG you might want to checkout the latest Star Wars Bundle. All the games come with Steam Keys with PC ports and Knights of the Old Republic, Jedi Academy and The Force Unleashed are also available on Mac.

So far you can unlock all the games at $12 and more will be added to the bundle later, making this a crazy great value.

I want this, but if I have working copies of KoTOR again, I may never leave my room.

This is a great bundle. I wonder what the mystery game will be? O.o

I hopefull it's GAMES and will be... Tie Fighter or Podracer.

Travis Admin wrote on 02/04/2015 at 09:58pm

I bought the big-ass Star Wars bundle on Steam in a sale ages ago for like $20, so this bundle means little to me, but it's a hell of a deal. Jedi Outcast alone is worth the price.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 02/05/2015 at 03:36am

SWEET. I think I missed that for whatever reason, I love that these bundles keep rolling. As far as I am concerned why not keep selling if people are buying?

Travis Admin wrote on 02/05/2015 at 03:51am

Definitely. And the Lucas games are generally really good. It's a guaranteed good value.

I might pick this one up because I've been wanting to get Kotor 2 on PC so I can install the missing content mod. I have Kotor 2 on Xbox and loved the game even though it was very apparent that it was an unfinished product.

Knights of the Old Republic Fast Facts

Some really interesting bits of trivia about one of Biowares best games. Did you play Knight of the Old Republic on XBox or PC? What did you think of it?

May the 4th Be With You!

Happy LIFE DAY... oh wait, er.

Happy Star Wars day everyone! I know its fairly cliche to say, but I really do have an unironic love for Star Wars. I hope that on this, one of the most sacred days in Geekdom you can do something Star Warsy and awesome.

Some ideas(not ordered for practicality):

Go to Antartica with a friend. One of you should partially freeze and then the other one can stuff the other one in a Polar Bear for warmth. This may be dangerous, so consult a wildlife specialist before you begin.

Step 1. Build a very large space station that looks like a Moon from a distance. Step 2. Put it in space. Step 3. Anger people such that they want to destroy it. In... Read All
