You might also want to consider picking up "Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon" for the GBA. I'll also consider you haven't got Balance of Power. But apart from those it looks like a near complete collection. $50 for the whole lot?

I had an off of $2900 AUD that I turned down earlier today actually. Yeah those are on my list to get still. Apparently there are 88 SW games in total so I'm only about half way there

 

[BLITZ_69]

I salute you, sir. However I actually owned one as a kid that I don't see on your table. You have there "X-Wing" and "X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter", but I do not see just "Tie Fighter". Great game like the others, I imagine. Spent many an hour flying through space blasting rebel scum out of void.

 

[LaBounti]

I just got Battle front 2 and Renegade Squadron for PSP. They are $2.50 each for plus subscribers.

@BLITZ_69, it's there, you just have to look real close to see it. It's the one right next to X-Wing Alliance. It's not the original version but a white label release of the collectors edition.

 

[BLITZ_69]

Ah yes, I see the small label of the original box.

Epic game. One of my all time favorites 👍

So being the the Star Wars whore that I am, I pre-ordered this:

Not sure about the game itself being any good, especially with SWTOR around the corner, it will be hard for any other SW game to compete, however I don't have an Xbox and the R2 cover looks so damn cool that I had to order it.

Also picked up ROTJ for Atari 2600. This takes my collection to 3 out of the 4 Atari 2600 released SW titles. I'm now actively searching on ebay for a decent condition Atari to play them on.

 

[BLITZ_69]

Those are not the droids I am looking for...

Oh, and I finally got the Platinum for TFU1. Took forever to get the lightning shield one.

Been a while since I put an update of the Star Wars game collection, been too busy playing SWTOR . That game is amazing and probably the best Star Wars game I've ever played. But I won't go into that now as it has it's own thread. Anyway the collection is up to 71 video games in total now, prepare to be amazed and horrified all at the same time

 

[BLITZ_69]

I bought TFUII with some X-mas cards, and as much as I'd LOVE to play SWTOR, I have a strong disliking for monthly fees.

TFUII was okay. The combat is good and fun, but it just felt a tad repetitive. The enemies are easy because they are all just stormtroopers and the boss fights involve a lot of the dreaded quick time events which I despise. Story was pretty lackluster as well. It was a missed opportunity to do something great with it. I still had fun with it, but it could have been so much more.

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of the paid subscription model either and I've never really gotten into the MMO thing either, but I am really enjoying this one now, to the point that I don't care that I'm paying monthly for it I struggled a lot with the game at first. I really hated it at the start actually, but as I leveled up and the story got into it's stride, I have been converted and now think it's the best thing since sliced bread. That said, I'm still not interested in playing any other MMO's but this one has a brilliant story and is heaps of fun... plus it's star Wars.

 

[BLITZ_69]

Well, if thy ever drop the price significantly, maybe I'll give it a shot. I have no doubt it's an awesome game, though.

 

[gtsmashbros]

I wish I could still play Battlefront I & II, but my PS2 died a few dreaded months back...

THOSE WERE THE BEST GAMES I HAVE EVER PLAYED IN MY LIFE!!!!!

The Galactic Conquest, the Co-op, the campaign, the Online multiplayer, the Heroes vs Villains, the airships, Rebel Scum, the glitches (Anyone know about the Chewbacca/Sail Barge one?), and you can't forget the Superlaser!

 

[BLITZ_69]

haha, Chewbacca on the sail barge was pretty funny. One of my favorites was inside the walls of that circular hanger the barge was in.

I really like the game too, all I will say (and what pretty much everybody is making a fuss with on the forums) is that the game is very outdated functionality and feature wise. It is very barebones, lacking things that even lower budget smaller name games (like Rift for example) have managed to bring at launch, the combat system isnt as smooth or reactive as other games (especially WoW).


If you're new to MMO games, none of this would ever be apparent to you, but if you have played other games you would be used to certain features and functions that might be considered basic. As a game though, storyline wise and even visually (with its unique art style) i think it is fantastic.

I've hit level 50 with my Jedi Knight now, enjoyed the way up. I think the game has a long long way to go before it plays as well as modern WoW, in that sense the game is much closer to a WoW from years ago. But as a story game I think it is really great, especially in the lower levels and the main quest lines.


Still though, my favourite Star Wars games remain Jedi Knight 2, Jedi Academy and perhaps the KoTor games. That is one epic collection.

 

[The Bman]

My beef with the SWBF2 AI is that it relentlessly targeted you when there would be a ton of friendlies in front of you. Another thing being AI not using heroes on PC and PS2. Would have been so fun to force push Boba Fett into the Rancor pit !

Level 50 Jebus! I don't get to play for too long but I try to get a bit of time in each day. I only just leveled up 14 as a Sith Warrior the other night and was super excited at the sprint function that I unlocked. What a time saver considering there is so much travelling to do and the quick travel is limited with a 30 minute cool down, so I find I'm always trying to save it for that one time I know I'll really need it each time I get to sit down and play. I need to spend some time reading up on it, as I'm certain that with the Collector edition you auto unlock a stap but I haven't spent time reading cause I'm always too excited to go play the next mission.

I've got no MMO experience so I guess I don't know what I'm missing really regarding the out dated functions, I' sure it probably bothers more seasoned MMO players like yourself, which is a shame cause the game is very polished in other aspects.

JEdi Knight 2 was a great game. Actually a lot of those in my collection are great, I still play the Star Wars & Empire on the original gameboy occasionally. The X-wings series was epic, although I haven't played those in what feels like 10 years or so now. KOTOR is also epic. I actually quite like the lego saga. They are pretty cool even though they are clearly aimed at a younger audience.

Probably the three that really stand out for me though are, Bounty Hunter, which reminds us that games should be challenging. This game is stupidly hard. Rebel Assault 2, which has amazing cinematic and is fun even though it's basically an on-rail shooter. And Shadow of the Empire, which has a great story and is an alround great game.

If you got the Collector's edition your ingame items should have been mailed to your characters when you registered the CD key. You get a free STAP but you'll still have to pay for the skill to use it. It's 40,000 credits for the first level speeder skill so make sure to be saving up for it. Sprint is fine up until you're in your mid 20s and hit Tatooine... then you really need the speeder.

I hit level 45 tonight on my Sith Warrior. Still having a ton of fun with the game and the main class storyline keeps me up playing way later than I should most night.

40,000 credits! I did pick up a few things from the mail one which included something to do with the stap. I kept that but binned most of the other things which turned out to be useless like the holo dancer and a flair gun which just clogged up my limited inventory space. I think I need to invest more time in this game. What's a good way of making money? I don't have a lot and usually burn most of it on training.

 

[Bigbazz]

No spoilers, but I logged on last night to finish up the class quests, (effectively completing the single player part of the game) and the final mission is absolutely ****ing solid. You basically have to beat a very difficult boss, with a lot of different abilities and with a certain companion being forced on you (in my case the T7 droid, which I hadn't used since level 30).

I was really impressed but also annoyed by it, it was so hard that to realistically beat it I would have had to just get out of there and go play the game some, gear up from flashpoints, raids and pvp so that my character and my T7 droid had fully up to date level 50 items. In the same zone as me there were a few others who were complaining in chat that they could not beat it, I ended up teaming up with one of them, and after still dying once, we managed to 2man it.

Bare in mind, this was according to Bioware absolutely intended to be solo'd. Its good one way, but its got to the point where players are thinking up of exploits and bugs in order to try to beat the boss. That said, I still hope the other class end bosses are this hard ^^.

You should be fine just by doing all the quests you can find. I managed to buy all my skills up to that point, upgrade my ship, and do a decent amount of leveling to my crew skills and still had the 40k credits right around the time speeder training became available. You may be behind for a few levels after that when you need to get new skills but by level 30 you start to have a lot more money coming in from quests and stuff.

The rank 2 speeder skill to use 100% speeders is 210,000 credits. I have the credits but I've just been passing on that since the 10% speed increase isn't really worth it right now and combat skill ups cost about 42,000 credits each at level 45.

 

[SuperShouden]

I just started on KOTR (I know, I'm a late comer.) But it is very interesting how much of it has made it's way into other BioWare games. Like the battle arena that later appeared in Dragon Age: Origins. Or how Taris feels a LOT like a lot like a couple of the places in Mass Effect 2. (Not 1 so much as 2. It's odd. But...I got more of a ME2 feeling from it.)

It's cool to see a game company say "hey, these things were pretty cool and a lot of people liked them, so maybe we can implement them in other games, somehow.)

So I posted this in the infield yesterday but thought I'd share with all the non premo members that love Star Wars games. My collection has blown out to 95 games and two Star Wars branded consoles.

The force is strong with this one!

Any idea how much you have spent on that little lot!

I've never bothered to tally it up and to be honest, I don't really want to either because I'll probably just get all depressed about how much I've spent on it

 

[dhandeh]

You've got Master of the Teras Kasi on PS1, so your collection has my favourite Star wars game.

 

[Darren.]

I've never seen the Star Wars Xbox 360 before, I'm assuming its something to do with Kinect Star Wars? I also see you've got TFU, my favourite Star Wars game ever (Except you got the collectors edition, lucky you. )

Yeah it was just released about 2 weeks ago. It's basically like a bunch of kinect mini games as wells as a dance central rip off. I purchased the xbox star wars console bundle, more so for the xbox than the game. here are some shots I took:

And the xbox makes R2 noises when you turn it on and open the disc tray.


Edit: TFU wasn't a bad game, but I feel it was a bit of a missed opportunity to make it something really special that it deserved to be. I have to admit though that the very first stage when you play as Vader on Kashyyyk made me giddy. Best stage ever in any Star Wars game!

 

[dhandeh]

It certainly looks cool.
