Tags: Star Wars: Knights of the Old RepublicArmchair Empire decided to share with you <a href=http://www.armchairempire.com/Reviews/PC%20Games/star-wars-knights-old-republic.htm>some thoughts[/url] on KOTOR, a game that deserves no less then 9.1 for various reasons.
Role-playing game (RPG) purists – classified by the rabidity of their passion for the genre – seem to have more negative things to say about KOTOR than the typical gamer. I can’t really address their complaints, as I tend to fall into the typical gamer categoryConclusion: typical gamer=moron who can't add two plus two and notice anything.
Most of the RPG standards are here: collecting cool doo-dads, lots of side quests, increasing your stats, team building, wasting bad guys. It’s all done in a hybrid real-time/turn-based presentation that really does work, although the control takes some getting used to.
When you’re exploring, everything is real-time but once you jump into combat KOTOR shifts to turn-based action. While turned-based combat may seem weird considering all the Star Wars action games that have been released, it worksFor the love of God, can somebody explain why people think that it's turn-based?
And really, it was the only way to go as you can have a party of four charactersOh, I see, that certainly explains a lot. Another review written without the added benefit of actually playing the game.
