TORtanic is the thing that destroyed Cinemaphile. It made the entire board obsessed with games failing. The funny thing is TOR didn't even fail. That shit is still alive, and released an expansion in 2022. If you tell people here though that it didn't instantly die, it's like blaspheming Christ to a devout Christian. It's an entire part of this site's creation myth.
Was that the game with the hilariously bipolar moral choices, during dialogue? I remember a friend having a tantrum that a friend playing with him kept sneaking in a Dark Side option, fricking up his character.
Have you noticed there are NO greenlit movies for SW?
KK contract is up in 2024, they will wait for the new Lucasfilm chief who might have a completely new direction
Star Wars but no real darkness or moral complexity. People like to shout out Rogue One or whatever, but it still felt quite toothless to me. Like in Georges Star Wars you got the sense that it existed in the world of the imagination, and the movies could really go anywhere. Disney films feel like theres a kind of guard rails preventing the films from being unpredictable or adventurous.
Come on bro you're telling me you don't browse Reddit. I don't post but there's some solid pages. Prequels were actually better than people give them credit for. The Phantom Menace would have cult classic status if no other Star Wars film existed. They were still made in an era where blockbusters could be creative endevours rather than clinical blueprint cashgrabs.
>The prequels are just as shit as the sequels, go back to plebbit you homosexual
Prequels are WAY better than the sequels. The problem with the prequels is that they are more soulless compared to the originals (too clean, too early CGI), and the main problem with prequels...we already know what's going to happen. I liked the actors, Hayden was robbed of more roles.
Sequels were just a cash grab. Acting was good though with the limited scripts
go back to r/prequelmemes you raging fricking homosexuals
Prequels had at least a little suspense with Dooku. Fights were better. Padme/Annakin(sp?) romance was at least some emotionality. Some cool set pieces like Camino and Naboo.
Sequels were absolute dogshit. Nonsensical, immature, no relationships for anyone, no real characterization for anyone. Absolute dogshit
>The Phantom Menace would have cult classic status if no other Star Wars film existed
This. Compare it to other sci-fis of the late 90s. It's still among the highlights of the era.

While you get no argument from me that TPM and ROTS are clearly better than the sequels, I'm gonna quote myself from a while back about AOTC:
"Attack of the Clones is a really bad movie. It is very nearly as bad as the sequel trilogy. >Opening sequence is absolutely ridiculous "hurr durr guess I was wrong, there was no danger" [instant explosion]; fireball totally consumes Corde and yet she looks like pic related and can still chat a bit >Hayden Christensen is terrible at delivering most of his dialogue. Anyone giving Daisy Ridley crap for her woodenness should compare and contrast: Christensen can use his face expressively, but his speech is almost completely over-acted and Portman's delivery mogs him in every scene >Obi-Wan jumping out the fricking window to grab the drone is stupid and simply an excuse to have a long and shitty chase sequence (~10 minutes from grabbing the drone to the 'toxic dart'), again with lame dialogue that's supposed to pass for banter between Obi-Wan and Anakin. The only reason the drone doesn't have some kind of self-destruct mechanism is to enable this chase; what kind of moronic assassin would allow it to be used as a vector to lead back to him? >The 'If droids could think, there'd be none of us here, would there?' line is a broader problem for the world-building as a whole >The sequence on Kamino is 80% cgi, and consists primarily of slow walking and talking >Obi-Wan chases Jango for 5 minutes, which is a totally unnecessary sequence since he applied a tracker to Jango's ship >Definitely-not-Gladiator scene is...okay, but not strictly necessary, and the overall quantity of such unnecessary scenes makes the movie slow and over-long. Jango dying so un-spectacularly is unintentionally hilarious.
I could go on with greater specificity, but frick it, no point"
I agree with most of your points. Christensen gets mogged by Portman, but that was the point of their relationship as well. Christensen had a real burning issue with rage, perfect for Annakin.
I liked Kamino but it was slow and CGI-esque.
I thought Obi Wan wanted to interrogate Jango and only threw the tracker on the ship after he lost(?)
Even so, MILES ahead of the sequels which were complete shit and lacked any kind of narrative process. No characterization or even relationships between ANY of the characters? At least you had a budding romance in this one.
>The prequels are just as shit as the sequels
The prequels are shit but this is like comparing regular shit to rotten, maggot infested diarrhea. As bad as they were at least the prequels didn't turn Star Wars into box office poison.
Narrative-wise, it was shit. But it at least feels like Star Wars. You feel like it's a galaxy teeming with a diverse range of alien species that are working together through some galactic government shit.
What does the sequel have? Like 99% of the characters are just human women, with maybe some legacy alien characters here and there. Doesn't feel like Star Wars at all.
Wasn't Revan canonically a woman(female)? They'd probably make her black.
Bastilla will be White and romanced by Revan.
Carth will be gay comedic relief.
HK-47 - he was in KOTOR1, right? - will be BLM flavored in his genocidal tendencies
I got nothing for the droid, wookie or twi'lek however. It's been so long I forget their arcs.
ToR already did that
The original class stories were utter kino. But they were written in 2010, before disney buy out
>tourists call ToRtanic kino
LOL
TOR was a good game. Still is. It’s WoW with a Star Wars skin, which is just fine.
>wow
>just fine
The beginning of the worst practices of micro transactions and current gaming industry practices started from you homosexuals

i think the funny part of tortanic is the stanley roo memes.

such a great demand that they cancelled KOTOR remake

Can't wait to finally see Revan on the big screen!

Have they not ruined Star Wars enough? You can't come up with anything good so you keep ruining what already exists that people enjoyed?
>Have they not ruined Star Wars enough?
No.
That series was destroyed with kotor 2. The game glitched out halfway through my second playthrough, massive waste of time

Isn't there supposedly a Rey movie coming out?

STILL A LOT A MEAT ON THAT BONE
Cast her.
They're right about that
But what will happen is every character will be a woman, black and gay and then it'll kill any interest people have
Wasn't Revan canonically a woman(female)? They'd probably make her black.
Bastilla will be White and romanced by Revan.
Carth will be gay comedic relief.
HK-47 - he was in KOTOR1, right? - will be BLM flavored in his genocidal tendencies

canonically a white male
so Disney would cast a black transwoman. Got it.
I thought all pre-Disney games and books got deemed as non canon
