    This game still could suck me in in 2023.
    - Of course the graphics was outdated but with a few mods and some time spent I could get immersed
    - The music was a bit repetitive sometimes, only 1 theme per planet - Gameplay was pretty nice, nice RPG elements, several opportunities to level up and use your skills - Diverse planets: Tattoine with desert, Kashyyk with swap and mystery, Manaan    This game still could suck me in in 2023.

    - Teammates and characters were exceptional, lot of talking and conversation can be done in the game and deep backstory for the teammates
    Overall great game and worthy of a remaster sometime later.    … Expand

    Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло. Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить. И знаешь, Геральт, порой бывает так, что Очень Большое Зло схватит тебя за горло и скажет: «Выбирай, братец, либо я, либо то, которое чуточку поменьше»Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло.

    - actual ROLEPLAYING in an RPG - fun build variety supporting everything from single bladed lightsaber, through two lightsabers, dual bladed lightsabers and even the dreaded Gun Jedi if you are feeling weird - fantastic party members that support you throughout the whole story    Pros

    - fun build variety supporting everything from single bladed lightsaber, through two lightsabers, dual bladed lightsabers and even the dreaded Gun Jedi if you are feeling weird
    - fantastic party members that support you throughout the whole story
    - a morality system that actually affects gameplay
    - one of the best twists in all of gaming

    Cons
    - the game came out in 2003 so yeah, it feels extremely clunky by today's standards
    - the turret minigame after leaving starports gets annoying after the first time you play it

    Knights of the Old Republic is one of the best Star Wars games ever made. Hell it is one of the best RPGs ever made. In the day and age when the term Roleplaying Game is slapped on anything that has zero roleplaying, but it has a skill tree, KotOR stands out as one of the best games ever made.

    The Light and Dark side conflict affords you different benefits for the various force powers. Unlocking different skills affords you with access to different solutions for the game's many sidequests. On top of that, you can have your party pick up your slack. For example, my Jedi Knight was hopeless with locks and demolitions so I brought Mission everywhere as she was my key to a lot of areas that would be otherwise locked off for me.

    Besides Mission, every other party member is a standout on their own, with interesting stories to tell. I actually love how much support each of the Light and Dark characters gets as you have party members like HK-47 and Canderous Ordo who are purely with you for the Dark side players.

    When it comes to the story, it remains interesting throughout the whole 40 hour run time. It also has one of the greatest and most spoiled twists in all of gaming, still effective after 20 years this game has been out.

    If you are a fan of RPGs please give this older title a chance as this actually deserves its reputation of a classic masterpiece.    … Expand

    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.

    A masterpiece of a game, especially for the time of it's release. The most interesting era of Star Wars that is not on the big screen. Only reason i'm not putting 10 is because of some bugs that still exist.

    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.

    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

    Just finished it. It was amazing: everything, from the sub-games, the plot, the game play, the combat system, the exploration. Couldn't think I could stand a so old graphic but yet it was a very satisfying experience. Can't wait to see the remake.

    This game is awesome. I'd just like to get that off my chest.

    Let me tell you why. Firstly, Bioware have produced the greatest storyline ever achieved in video game history. Who would've imagined a star wars game to have a storyline instead of non-stop stormtrooper shooting like all the others? The story is dark, deep and has more twists than a virgin's knickers.

    Let me tell you why. Firstly, Bioware have produced the greatest storyline ever achieved in video game history. Who would've imagined a star wars game to have a storyline instead of non-stop stormtrooper shooting like all the others? The story is dark, deep and has more twists than a virgin's knickers. You will become so damn engrossed with the story that you will forget real life, and for that i don't blame you. With this game, it comes as a right.

    Secondly, the gameplay is the best i've ever encountered. I could spend the whole day walking around and talking with npcs. The npcs are so detailed and every one has a background story, or a task that they would like you to perform. The fight sequences are brilliant, mixing turn-based action and strategy together to form a perfect mold. You have to prepare yourself before each fight and choose your moves carefully, which is reminiscent of final fantasy. Also, the fact that one decision could change your path from light to dark side is a power to behold. Every decision matters.

    And lastly, the graphics are consistently gorgeous. For such a huge game you may think that the graphics department would be lacking, but Bioware are perfectionists, and thank god they are! For never in this game you will want to look away from the screen, the beauty of it will grab hold of you and refuse to let go.

    This game is a masterpiece. It is the most significant game since Doom and the best game ever made! Explore 10/10    … Expand

    This is a very good game, however its age truly shows today, the gameplay is clunky and boring and repetitive, and while their is a lot of depth, this game is outclassed in every single way except for the story by its sequel, and the twist is obvious, very obvious, also wtf am I stuck on? the air?
