Bought.

Only Jedi Outcast 2 and Academy looks any good. But even then it looks nothing compared to KOTOR series

you can't even compare KOTOR to Jedi Knight series, completely different games

I can compare Battlefront and Lego Star Wars to this if i want. UMAD?

Played the shit out of Dark Forces II, too bad I used the CD to fail at ripping another game

Tbh Jedi Outcast (guess it goes for JA too, even though I haven't play as much JA as I have JO) had a pretty deep combat system due to ability to turn and point your swings, basically inventing your own moves. If you played multiplayer on competitive level it was very difficult

I already had Dark Forces 2, Mysteries of the Sith, and Academy, but I bought the whole bundle just for nostalgia. Even with only Dark Forces and Outcast I made savings!

Bought it out of respect as well. I had original Jedi Outcast on CD, but it got so used up it stopped working

Gonna give JO multiplayer a whirl first, even though I believe it's dead, then try JA MP. Heck, might even replay all the single players.

PS:
/g_saberrealisticcombat 1 - this command makes your lightsaber cut people up good

Single player is still very fun. Cant remember so much about Jedi Outcast, but the ultimate fun in Academy is tier 3 force lighting or force choke, sheath your saber and you do a stronger 2handed lightning blast that sends all enemies flying, only Sith don't get insta-raped. I like being a lightside Jedi who uses incredibly evil powers, it amuses me.

For those pesky Sith who give you trouble the 'choke' system on this game is amazing! Tier 3 choke lets you manouver people around as you crush them, either as a human shield or just for lolz. The downside is that all force-using enemies will use 'push' to escape from it, but you have a short opportunity to jerk your mouse upwards suddenly and release them before they use 'push', this sends them sailing into the sky and all enemies can take lethal falling damage, done correctly this is a one-shot kill of all those arrogant Sith who think they are worthy of a lightsaber duel!!! I love crushing them with the force.

Haha yeah, I remember flinging NPCs all around the map with grip and push

Other cool tricks:
- force pull + throw lightsaber
- force pull + force kick

I played the shit out of Jedi Academy on my xbox when I was younger. Fuck that was a good game. Thanks for posting this!

Most non-jedi enemies get instakilled if you whip them into the floor with the Choke.
Jammiest force power in Dark Forces 2 is Force Destruction!
I love the last Jedi Outcast level where you get to watch all the epic bot fights

What happened to those three games then? I have Academy already and I'd like to play the others just for nostalgia and I wanted to give Academy to Berenger so that he could

Unfortunately the bundle is one gift so I had to gift myself the whole lot, duplicates get discarded
