KOTOR II Pushed To Retail Too Soon?

Posted by Zonk on from the a-time-not-so-long-ago dept.

Gamespy has a Resident Cynic column, detailing his opinion that Knights of the Old Republic II was released prematurely. He has some good points to make, and interesting "could have been" details to share. From the article: "I'm not going to spoil the ending for you, nor even dwell too much further on what exactly the issue is, but believe me, it's there. I'm not talking about leaving the story open-ended in order to facilitate sequels. That's fine and I can thoroughly understand it. The problem is that they waste one of the creepiest bad guys in recent history, then promptly send your character off on a series of solo missions, and actually forget to even explain what's happening to the sidekicks you've spent so much time training and equipping."

    Obviously, this guy is talking about my job, not some silly game.

      The trick is to cap your upload so you don't feel guilty on the disconnect.

    Sounds like a true "Star Wars" product... they had to stay true to the Genre!

    But I bet there were alot of cool special effects, and a cute robot or two.
