KOTOR on Xbox or PC?
 

So I got a $50 EB gift card and am pretty sure that I finally want to purchase this game after receiving all the other games I wanted as presents, but now I'm not sure whether to buy Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic on X box or PC? The PC is $10 dollars cheaper so if there isn't really that big of a difference I would get that one but I heard that its a port and that there are some bugs and it was originally made for the X box? Any experiences?

I would say it depends on how good of a computer you have. What are your system specs?

While I enjoyed KOTOR on the xbox, fights were a pain for me, because you could only direct one character at a time. If the PC version lets you control the characters like baldurs gate and neverwinter does, I'd say its worth it. Also bear in mind that it takes a good 50 hours to play each side, so consider where you would like to spend all that time sitting. Personally, a mouse makes things SO much easier.

There are bugs in the X-Box version also... ran into one the other night. So I don't think that should be the deciding factor...

Here's the lovely one I hit (The "Carth Glitch").

Thank goodness I found the description on the web as I was just about to boil my friend's disc (i had cleaned it about 10 times thinking it must be a disc problem)


All that said, I am playing the X-Box version and loving it.

I had both and played both A LOT. I prefer the PC version.
It all depends on your system specs. There were a few technical bugs, but a patch fixed all of it.

Basically, with the PC version, you get much better graphics, the extra content not available on the XBOX yet, and faster loading times.

Thanks for all the help,
My PC good enough, 2.4 ghz, 512 sd ram.
I think I'll pick up the PC version tomorrow.

What do you mean ? On the Xbox version you pause fighting (or not if you like) and hit the black button.. it switches characters and you can stack commands. Pause, and you can cycle thorugh each and stack a bunch of commands for each.

its still doing one at a time....

So how does it work on the PC version?

If you get attacked or fight, they all fight.

I didn't think the PC version is any different.

They use their default attack/support setup, unless you switch to them to give your own commands.. otherwise they will act along with your main character.

hey sniper, thanks for that bug fix! my friend had that exact problem with carth and couldn't find a fix to it.

what's the extra content in the pc version?

i read that there is a space station that you can go to - but i thought it wasn't a huge addition.

tough call but if i had a choice right now, i'd go w/ the pc version as well... honestly though, i really enjoyed sitting on the sofa and playing the game on the xbox. so, it's a tough call. (unlike morrowind - PC version all the way!)
