    Best game ever, I've got a thrills! Definitely far better than other SW games. Endings are so satisfying, I can play this all a long.

    Harbiden de ışın kılıcını almak çok zormuş. Sen gel saatlerce uğraş ışın kılıcını al. Bide tam bir jedaya yakışan yeşil ışın kılıcını sonra ne mi olsun. Oradan dışarığı her çıktığında oyun çöksün. Üzdü.

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is perhaps one of the best stories ever told in the Star Wars universe. However, the PC version of the game is so fundamentally broken that you have to dance around just to get it to run, if it does at all. And this pains me to say, since this is a game absolutely everyone should play.

    It's been almost 15.5 years since this legendary game came out. Its by far the best game I ever played. I played it back then on my then shiny new Xbox (I purchased the Xbox for this purpose) and I still play it today on my PC. The game hasn't aged over one and a half decades. The voice acting, the character arc and the story is just extraordinary. A must-play for any Star Wars fan.

    The best game of star wars. Exciting plot. Interesting gameplay. Characters for whom you can worry. Open world, fly wherever you want. The game has many different planets and it is interesting to explore them. In general, 10/10. Be sure to play this game. It is worth it to go at least once.

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic's morality system is great for role-playing and the segmented structure of its worlds makes it fun and easy to explore.

    Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic was(and still is)a very intresting project.
    First of all it's not some game about the characters that we already know from the movies but an entirely different story in a different timeline.A bold decision if you ask me.Only that desire to make something original deserve recognition.I played many of the Star Wars games and this one(just like Star Wars Jedi Knight:Jedi Academy)never cease to be so intresting that I can play it 9999-time.

    Gameplay.
    Intresting thing.Some say that it's boring but the combat system is a very intresting.Reminds me of a chess.You can pause the game and choose which enemy to attack or/and take control of your companion and make the same thing with him.

    Companions.
    Nice lot.I liked them all(yes even the whiny Carth).They all have intresting background especially Jolee Bindo and Canderous Ordo.The last one has a lot of intresting stories to tell.I don't want to spoil it to you.You should try talk with them yourself and feel them.And the game will sometimes push you towards conversation,which is a good thing.

    RPG system.
    I love it.You can be a-hole or nice guy.And you will actually feel like one.The Jedi Path for instance demands that you be generous and kind,but the dark choices are always somewhat tempting...There will be situations when you will determine the future of an entire people or villages.Your alignment will affect the cost of your Force-abilities.

    The Storyline.
    It's actually somewhat naive and will probably remind you of the Original Trilogy,but it still has it's moments and surprises.

    Conclusion.
    I think anyone who enjoys Star Wars should play this game to understand the meaning of a quality that the modern SW games somehow lack.It's not nostalgia by the way,because I tried it only three years back.It's just a great game that shouldn't be forgotten.10/10 Without hesitation.    … Expand

    Despite being a great game even now there are too many features in the game that just do not pass the test of time.

    Still highly recommended for every RPG fan out there, just not masterpiece status.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Peace is a lie, there is only passion.

    İnsanlar bunun en iyi star wars oyunu hatta filmleri de dahil ederek deneyimi olduğunu söylediklerinde inanmamazlık etmemiştim. Zira star wars filmlerini her zaman gayri ciddi bulmuştum. Ancak bu kadarını da beklemiyordum. Ortada çok karanlık, ciddi ve ayakları yere basan bir hikaye var.

    Oyunu daha önce oynamadıysanız ya da hikayesini bilmiyorsanız sakın bir yerlerden okumayın direkt oyuna ya da sneye çıkacak remake'ine gömülün. Sakın spoiler yemeyin.

    Oyun filmlerden 4000 yıl öncesinde geçiyor. Bu sayede kendisine hikaye açısından büyük bir özgürlük alanı kazandırıyor. Skywalker muhabbetinden kurtulduğu için çok mutlu oldum. Ulan filmler lafta koskoca galaksiyi anlatıyor ama 9 eserdir hala 3-5 kişinin etrafında dönüp duruyor.

    Ben elimde böyle bir fırsat varken sith olarak oynamayı seçtim, yüreğim başta el vermese de herkese kötü davrandım, sürekli kötülük yaptım. SPOILER Sonlarda Bastila ile beraber yanımızda oyun boyunca bize eşlik eden jedi'ları öldürürken yüreğim sızlamadı. Ancak Mision'ı (14 yaşındaki çocuğu) küçüklüğünden beri onu koruyup kollayan Zaalbar'a öldürtme seçeneğini gördüğümde gözlerime inanamadım. Hakikaten bu biraz fazlaydı. Ama yaptım. Mision'ın yakarışları hala kulağımda.SPOILER

    Oyunun ana hikayesin sonlara doğru güzelleşse de yan hikayeler ve görevler başından beri çok iyi. Özellikle Manaan'daki mahkeme bölümleri, avukatlık yaptığımız yerler epey başarılıydı. Çok az oyunda yan görevlerin üzerine bu kadar düşüldüğünü gördüm ki onların da çoğunu yine Bioware yapmıştı zaten. Bu kadar iyi hikaye anlatan bir firmaya online oyun yaptırmaya çalışan EA'nin tekrar kafasını sikim.

    Yan görevler ve ana görevler birbirlerine çok güzel bağlanıyor. Oyunun içinde bulunduğu evreni çok güzel yansıtıyorlar.

    Öte yandan oyunun combat'ı tam bir felaket. Turn based'i divinity serisinden falan çok severim ama real time turn based'den nefret ediyorum. Bana mantıksız geliyor. Oyunun başında ekibimin blaster'la dakikalarca çıv çıv çıv dibindeki adamı vuramaması, boşa sallanan ışın kılıçları falan acayip keyfimi kaçırdı. Nasıl olsa seneye remake'i geleek diye neredeyse oyunu bırakacaktım. Ancak sonunda açtım ölümsüzlük hilesini vura vura geçtim. Ben oyunu combat'ı için değil rpg öğeleri için oynuyordum zaten. Bu dakikadan sonra oyun daha çok oynanabilir oldu benim için.

    Kotor 19 yaşında bir oyun. Bu bakımdan oynadığım en yaşlı oyun oldu. Combat'ı dandik ama rpg öğelerini bugün bile çok zor bulursunuz. Gerçekten çok iyi bir deneyimdi. Umarım remake'de hikayeye dair her şeyi sabit tutup sadece görselliği ve dövüş mekaniğini değiştirirler.    … Expand

    A game with a story as good as the original movie trilogy, and companions as good as the companions of Dragon Age/Mass Effect games... or even better!!!! Moreover, the quests are always interesting, and you will have to face a lot of moral choices. 10/10
