Ive never watched a single Star Wars movie and in general cant stand that shitty franchise

Ive never watched a single Star Wars movie and in general cant stand that shitty franchise.
That being said, i love Obsidian games and keep hearing absolutely high praises for this game.
Should i try it or will i be a fish out of water in the setting

You could just play Kotor 1 first you know

the star wars films have always been absolute garbage OP, from the very beginning there hasn't been a good one. I would avoid any Star Wars related material

How do you hate it if you've never seen it?

i lied, actually.ive seen the first half of the first movie(new hope?), but i fall asleep at the middle.my old roommate was absolutely obnoxious star wars nerd and we had a deal that we'll watch star wars if he watches my favorite trilogy(LOTR) cos he never watched it previously.
he loved LOTR and Star Wars was literally the only movie in my life that ive fall asleep to

also, star wars is so big in pop-culture that you dont really need to watch it to know pretty much all about it

>he never watched lotr
>i never watched star wars
You probably should have just fucking killed each other

I havent watched star shit either, neck yourself

you should at least familiarize yourself with LOTR, but Star Wars is skippable

fuck off samefag, watching the posters count

ive hated starwars my entire life even though i got to see all 3 movies in the early 90s. That said i really enjoyed kotor when i played it years ago, which was also years after it came out.

Just play mass effect

You wish, disneyshill, not everyone is a permavirgin like you thinking your star shit is some kind of high art

>fell asleep in the middle
It's a pretty good film if you aren't a fucking sperg. I have ADHD and even I could stick with it.

Start with 1, then play 2, fall in love with the series, then be forever assmad that there will never be a third game.

>disneyshill
not even him but fuck off cuck

most star wars fans on Sup Forums despise disney and mouse shills. You're not unique anymore in disliking star wars, it's shit now. There's no defending it after disney bought it.

If you really don't like star wars don't listen to these guys don't play the 1st game it may be good but it's a STAR WARS game through and through. You don't have to have any association with the 1st game to play the 2nd and it might even be better that way.

It's a fantastic Rpg. It has good gameplay and writing. Ive played both Kotors on difficult but only the 2nd game is difficult, the first is easy as shit.

So yes if anything play Kotor 2 if you like Obsidian games it's probably in their top 3 games. It's a fantastic game with a STAR WARS skin on it.

Empire Strikes Back is the only truly good one. A New Hope isn't polished at all and the story is super predictable. Jedi Returns is a bit of a cash in.

>shit now
>now
It's literally better than it ever was

Ignore the triggered alt-right cucks from Sup Forums. They literally can't handle having a woman MC.

How dare you reply to me

Oh and forgot to add if you enjoy the second game then it might be worth it to take a look into playing the first or if you have the Steam Kotor replay Kotor 2 with the restored content mod.

its always been shit, dork

whatever kiddo, it's all the same to me now

>liking obshittyan

>Sup Forumsedditors culturally apropriating /biz/ memes now
disgusting

>Cobble together a movie by rehashing existing iconography
>"better than ever"
?????

>better EU
>better movies
>no Lucas
Prove me wrong

/biz/ is full of white people and white people have no culture

The story is a deconstruction of the Star Wars premise. I think it would work better if you knew the general story of the 6 movies but it is in no way necessary to understand it as KOTOR takes place 4000 years before the movies.

I would recommend just playing KOTOR 2.
Kotor 1 adds nothing really necessary to the second game (even when you feel like you are missing out on something) and 2 is perfectly self-encapsulated from everything in Star Wars continuity, a true anomaly that you should appreciate more than most Sup Forums users do apparently.

Aren't you a special little snowflake?

It was better when it was just two pretty good movies instead of a rehash, a pretty bad movie, wildly varying EU content, some shit video games, etc.

>/biz/
>wh*Tes
lmao, its all Pajeets, cracker

>Kotor 1 adds nothing really necessary to the second game (even when you feel like you are missing out on something)
This was so strange to me because I started with Kotor2 and then went back and played kotor1. The events they talk about in kotor2 happened between games so even if people had played them in order they wouldn't know the full picture.

to add to this: You really need the restored content mod for some added cutscenes and dialogues but the new combat parts are so unbalanced that I would recommend getting the Kotor Save Editor as well and give yourself a couple Insta-Killsticks and Killblasters.

> better EU

I need a few sentences of explanation to understand how somebody can have this opinion.

Literally all of the EU was absolute garbage under Lucas. don't defend LUUUKE

>rehash, a pretty bad movie, wildly varying EU content, some shit video games, etc.
yep, that was what happened under Lucas

Playing KOTOR2 might ruin SW for you. It's a game that breaks traditional star wars cliches and reexamines the roles of Jedi and SIth. I'd try KOTOR1 then watch the movies.

Most of the books and comics of both EUs are garbage but I have yet to encounter even a single comic or book in the new canon that doesn't make me cringe or angry at the "artists" laziness.
Comics were at least 50% good when you keep stuff from before 1990 out of it.
No Star Wars book is even close to readable.
And of course the old video games are far superior to EA Battlefront and phone games.

KOTOR1 is the better game. KOTOR2 is just relentlessly shilled by contrarians. There's nothing special about its narrative.

>Better EU
You are either delusional or just bloody memeing.

Have you even seen what are in those "books" they are complete and utter rubbish. The animated series however are another thing.

Sorry, no book except Darth Plagueis and maybe Darth Bane 1.

>defending the old EU
>at all
Kill yourselves

all of disney star wars comics are great, all the novels have been amazing. You are an idiot

i've seem the prequels and vaguely remember the originals (don't care enough about star wars to see the sequels)

KOTOR and KOTOR II are both really good games, you'll just find yourself skipping a lot of the lore text shit you find that would normally interest you in other early bioware / obisidian RPGs

No, it's Old Republic. It takes place like a few thousand years before any of the movies. All you have to know is that there are magical space wizards that have glowing swords that can cut through anything. Some are good, some are evil. There's a galactic government called the Republic, and really that's about it. Just treat it as any sci-fi game.

kotor 2 is a classic, but it won't activate any almonds

pretty much any EU comic or book is worth more than your pleb existence, bugman

Oh shit I forget Disney had the pockets to dish out for people like you, or in the least they have some A grade brainwashing.

Old EU was interesing with diverse stories and genres. New EU is not interesting at all and a little too diverse if you catch my drift.

I'm not going to continue replying to you people and I don't anyone should either. Becuase you're either a paid opinion or have no taste.

star wars is trash, the fuck are you losers talking about

defend Abeloth, Luuke, emperor revived, warlord of the week, and the vong

old EU was mostly trash
new EU is entirely trash

This.

You dont need to cherry pick with the New EU.

Ill admit the things you listed aren't good at all but still the old EU is vast with alot of good content besides.

New EU has like one or two good books and 25+ shit ones

stop defending it then faggots

the Knights of the Old Republic comics were pretty good
and the X-wing series
and Knight Errant
and Legacy whenever Cade wasn't around

nope

...

YOU TAKE THAT SHIT BACK ABOUT MY MAN ZAYNE CARRICK!!

not canon garbage. come back when anything is half as good as Phasma

Captian "I was built up to be super rad, but lost getting bonked in the head and thrown down a garbage chute" Phasma?

not true
the prequels are godtier

so you can't think of anything as good? Got it
fuck off retard

...

If it's so funny you should be able to prove me wrong

...

I already said Knights of the Old Republic

...

which is stupid

why?

...

>Disneyshit

It's just the OT

It's decently enjoyable as a stand-alone title

>frogposter being a complete retard

No way!

KOTOR 2 was written by Star Wars haters for Star Wars haters. If you like KOTOR 2 you simply hate Star Wars.

...

Absolutely. I don't care about Star Wars and I'm not even that big fan of Obsidian, but I enjoyed this game more than the first one.

they should never have reprinted legends books, should have just dropped all of that stupid shit

Makes sense, as I liked KOTOR 2 (and KOTOR) but hate the movies

i'm glad people are starting to see the prequels for the kinos they were

they produced the best games too

the prequels are shit. Defend this youtu.be/yHqdESArkqU

The only people being vocal about liking the prequels are the kids that grew up with the prequels reposting the same shitty memes on r/prequelmemes. You're still a laughing stock.

>All these brainlets who don't realize that KOTOR 2 was a RECONSTRUCTION, and that the grand reveal was that Kreia really was just a broken woman and a run-of-the-mill Sith who was good with words and better at manipulation

how so?

it's literally the OT with a new skin

are you talking about the game or the comics

all of the above

This kills the Disney shill.

so you've never read the comics, then

I don't read non canon garbage

and this youtu.be/4ESOrF_u1hg

ok kiddo

play it it's good
I don't think you'll be too lost

>crazy historian dedicates her entire life to finding an alternative to the jedi/sith dichotomy
>her resulting philosophy is "be a sith but slightly less so"
>people think this means jorj was btfo instead of validating him

You don't have to

It doesn't resonate without a context, so no. It's basically a response to the first Kotor and Sith's Revenge.

New Hope's first half is pretty slow, and the second half is largely just action. It's kinda over the place that way.
