Do people still play Jedi Academy? I used to lightsaber duel for hours on end, what an awesome game that was. I wonder if I still have the CD laying around for it?

I dunno. I should have a copy lying around somewhere, need to install it.

Steam has the Ultimate Sith edition on sale for pretty cheap and I was wondering if it was worth a damn on PC? Keep in mind that I am a star wars junkie and I can overlook some problems with it. Also can my system even run it decently?

I totally loved it, I would highly recommend it. It was a gorgeous game and it ran just fine for me on an 8800 gtx.
Was diverse and had tons of fun in it IMO. More than I have come to expect with most developers.
Definitely not a waste of money in any way shape or form. :toast:

lol it was bad on the 360 so it's likely bad on pc?
They have absolutely nothing in common. The pc handles it like a charm and it was GORGEOUS.
I actually spent more time stopped still in my tracks, staring at gorgeous scenery than doing anything else in that game. lol
the jedi abilities worked flawlessly for me.
It may of had some "minor" issues, but it never crashed on me and it ran very well in general.

The gameplay is for children, or starwar fans.

The game is suck. Do not buy this game. If you like hack and splash, God of War is the thing (obviously not on PC).

This comment is suck.. lol. Sorry but with grammar like that I have to completely disregard your comment. I'm 33 and am not a child, so please watch the way you insult people.
Clearly you wouldn't know a good game if it jumped on your face and started to wiggle. :)

When you say "only for kids" you insult me, being that I am not a kid.
I could give two chits about what you think either.. :toast:

Meh, I really don't care about graphics. I still love KotOR and Jedi Academy and they are old. Just so long as I get to lay down some carnage, I am good. Oh and on a side note. 30GB?!?!?!? That is insane.

30GBs eek, hope thats not your mounthly download limit

30 gb was because thet left all of the ported crap from xbox and everything in the game package for pc.
Don't expect extra content, it's just 100% wasted space, totally lazy..lol

Sweet. I will know for sure probably tomorrow since I am only 40% currently.

I am a huge fan of star wars. I have the books, the movies, the games, etc.

No limits here.

I think you'll like it JC, it is really gorgeous with the panoramas.
I like star wars but I'm not like a super huge fan. This game still had me glued to my seat.
You have all that stuff, then your going to love it I think.

Lol'd at what he does to the jawas with their stranded vehicle.. you'll see XD

Force throw, roflmao, countless fun, you can literally throw people so high and so fast, that they disappear into the sky. Lot's of neat abilities like that.

I believe the game has a demo on PSN, you should check it out there.

The PhysX was fun to play with, for 10 mins. There're something really sluggish about the characters. I found myself using a same skill for 20mins, and I was unstoppable.

Yes, I played the game for 20mins, then got bored.

Many SW fans love this game, 'cause it's probably the best one that look and feel like the movie.
If I were you I would buy this game for under $30, included tax or shipping.

Awesome. Yes, I am a complete star wars junkie. I have a collection of about 50 star wars books. Been downloading since 3pm and I am only at 61%.

Absolutely, for $14.99 it's well worth it. Only gripe that I have and I have it with all Jedi games, when it comes time for boss battles, they make you feel completely outmatched and overpowered.

Just beat the primary story, moving on to bonus stuff. It was WELL worth the $15 that I paid for it. The only real glitch that I hit was a lack of sound effects in certain missions.

I had the game and it was not anywhere near 30 GB, it's probably some useless junk from the porting. You can finish the game with just a couple of controls, right click ->lift something and throw it to something else. But if you want there is seriously good moves to be made and they make your gaming much easier with some tougher mobs.
The boss fights are really challenging but the stuck view on boss fights is simply a console residue. Still it is not bad and the best thing is it auto saves pretty well. I have watched the films a couple of times and played Jedi Academy, KoToR I, II. If you liked those you will enjoy this game. Also checking out some gameplay in youtube might help you make a decision. I learned some moves from there and they helped out a lot.

Yeah, I agree that there isn't enough content to justify the 30GB, just no way in hell. Shaak Ti had to be the shittiest boss fight there was. I HATED her. The Raxus Prime boss sucked too, but I finally figured out how to stop him. The others were pretty simple really, eliminate the support guys and slaughter the boss.

Lol. I already told yas it's from the porting. :p
You can find the ported information in the file directories, likely even delete most of it.
Glad ya like it JC, thought you would.
I had a lot of fun with that game, and for 15 bucks it is waaaayyy worth it.
Another hidden gem was Ghostbusters on steam.
It was gorgeous and so much fun, with the original ghostbusters cast.
I really enjoyed it a lot.

Oh yeah, just a tad on the short side though. I got through the main campaign in 5:44 and the extra content brought it up to about 8 hours. I will definitely play through it again though.
