I Think its a great game, however I think the made it alittle too "fast" compared to JO. The Staff and Dual Sabers are cool, but makes it easier for button smashers. And I was hoping to see a reverse grip stlye and a personalized blocking system.

JK3 really could use the counter variables from JK2, they were so much better...IMHO

Good Stuff:

- more sabers.
- smoother movement than Outcast.
- stances.

Bad Stuff:

- weird wall run, Outcast's was way better.
- not many good maps, Outcast had better maps to, hehe.
- whiney-ass people on XBOX Live.
- the staff, it seems so easy to kill people with the staff.

although, this game is still badass, way better than Outcast.

I thought that the story line was kinda thin compared to JK2 and kinda short and easy as well, more set pieces and smarter NPCs would have been nice, but you can say that about just about any game. A good game, a great series, roll on JK4 (with HL2 engine *crosses fingers*)

It must be a mod thing then. I figured it was just disabled in JAR :P. I don't think it's a lamer move. It just irritates me when people abuse it and use it over and over.

You can't gripkick in JKA AFAIK... That's why JK2 is > JKA, and always will be :D :P

Gripkicks aren't lame. If you can't counter them, then sure, why not call it a lame move?

Basically the same things I hate about JK2. Overpowered lightning and gripkick. I'm fine with the new lightsaber additions.

I hate it when people just spam gripkick and lightning. I know it can be countered with absorb but it just irritates me to no end when I have to change my force powers just because someone thinks they are good when they spam force powers. Lightning is extremely overpowered and they must have been on serious crack when they decided to make it near-instant death when used with melee. It doesn't help when I have people on pubs "owning" me with gripkick and lightning.

Well the maps cant be incredible in jk3 b/c jk2 has the same engine, only difference would be all the resource files present in JA. Most people have already made levels for JK2 don't want to make a new level for JK3.

I've grown to really like jk3 mainly because I only played jk2 for about a month before jk3 came out.

JK3 pros (imo):
-It's customization system rules
-Movement is so much more fluid and realistic
-It's strange damage system (keeps you on the edge every second)
-CTF
-Words are on the middle of the screen right above hud.
-The DL-44 :D

JK3 Cons (imo):
-Rolling backwards
-Sniping
-Max /cg_fov is 97
-Not as original maps as JK2

:cool:

I would of liked more handle choices especially for staff. JK2 Rocked but I like customizing my own characters and making it more me.

My dislikes are that they have messed with the saber damage too much. Now theres no ultimate challenge. The dfa's are harder to do and when ever you slip up it shows that you have made a mistake.

The rolls are too short also.

The one thing I don't like about JK3 is that it's too similar to JK2. :D

Here's JK2 Veteran's opinion...

Likes in JKA:
- Wall runs (new runs looks neat :P)
- More sabers (gives nice boost in duels)

Dislikes:
- Damage scale is messed up (red swing can take damage between 1 - 150...)
- Stance changing is SSSLLLOOOOOWWWWW....
- Hate basic roll and cartwheel
- Staff is way too overpowered
- Some combos feels bit weird (Got too used to jk2 :D)
- Blue style and lunge are mostly useless (Only 2 "good" stances)

Summary:

I Luv jk2 :D

I like choosing a lightsaber,
but it would have been better if you could
make it by yourself.
still the game is great...
