Looks stupid and overly dramatic for a fight.
Zaplyn
If only the game would have been this good.
ishimura1412
its funny when you think about it, when almost anything in the game looks more technologically advanced than in the movies...
FallingWithStyleSquirrel
That bugs the shit out of me. It made it really hard to get immersed in kotor.
BlueLanternBraxx
SWTOr is probably the game I've played more than any other. Still love it. Usually play expansions when they come out.
CandidGamera
I see they still haven't found out how to not make the baddies uncharacteristically waiting their turn look like complete tools.
Cobnor
Everyone saying the game is dead. It's not and it's great. Been playing it for almost a month since WoW is just "whos more morally grey" now
skch
I fucking love Star Trek!
circlebreaker
Sure, why bother with armsmanship & choreography when you can write the scene like a nun whipping Irish orphans with a ruler, amirite?
ehoba666
Why she dressed like a Titan from Destiny?
FunnyPlatypus
Oh geeze... every time she turns around there’s a new wave!

That's it, I'm officially All-Group-Fight-Scenes-Are-Idiots-Waiting-Around-To-Get-Punched-And-Dumb years old.
SaturnineCult
Hmm, why is a Jedi Guardian fighting Sentinels here?
flavivsaetivs
They're not Jedi. She's the ex-captain of the Zakuul knights fighting Nathema Zealots.
PhenTsoksar
glad i'm not the only one that's thinking this
Maultasche
allthenamesaregone
If it's fan-made it's better than a lot of pro stuff, especially the choreography.
Alozar
Idk for fight choreography this is pretty mediocre. Half of them just wait to die and swing at air in the background.
Amzadi
It's from the cinematic trailer for the Star Wars: The Old Republic Expansion "Knights of the Eternal Throne" was made by Blur studios.
TheSoftPainterBoy
Its pro stuff showing how pro stuff should be done
brodzor14
So many of them just stand there doing nothing
grimwyrd
The cinematic trailers for SW:TOR were so great. Loved the first three for the original game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuNvCOUy1Ts
vikingvampireangel
Good thing everyone remembered the book of bad guys always swing wide and attack one at a time!

Scene above is about 3:30 in to the trailer

Communinja
I would just stand back and do this exact fight just force wielding the lightsaber from afar
Communinja
Or force push em all over the edge...
TheWoodpeckerSighed
this is such an impactful fight to. no music, just sound of people hitting people
CrestKnight
ah the ol' "lets just stand around and go at her 1 at a time" approach.
lilmookie
You think at least one would be like "I'll just cut through my buddy and her, and be a hero"
youdontknowhowtoeatmuffjohnsnow
Well they're on a small platform and are trying to not get in each other's way
darksamus8
They're actually not doing a bad job, they go 2-3 at a time. Fighting as a group is weirder than you might think. Don't wanna hurt allies
vikingvampireangel
Might help if they tried to use their sabers as fencing weapons instead of swinging like they're choppin a tree and only 1 swing/second
darksamus8
I run sabre in fencing, and have watched master sabre-ists. It's like watching a seizure
darksamus8
It wouldn't make a good cinematic because its basically a moment of everyone spazzing out and then it ends...
vikingvampireangel
Just gotta do it artistically like a Chinese Kung Fu movie
Drathe
They're the royal guards. She's the Empress. "Stop her without hurting her" was pretty much their orders.
CandidGamera
These irredeemable monster bad guys really fight fair and co-operatively, don't they.
Isigneduptopostacomment
Corn on, the cob. Corn on, the kebob....
sendmenudesandcats
It's a shame this game is dead. I really used to enjoy playing it
capetian
Sadly, the game was dead on release. I loved the questing, but, raiding was overly simplified.
flavivsaetivs
It's not dead. It merged servers and has a somewhat active population.
MandaloreIncognito
If "dead" by comparing it to WoW, yeah. But no, it's not dead. People just get too nitpicky of the changes (which I can't entirely blame)
PiotrJostayev
For those wondering this is a CGI theatrical trailer for KotOR
ProcolHarambe
*SWtOR

BonCutieKenpo
Is the title the sauce?
ilostmycookydoyouhaveit
Very nice sauce you got there. Tasty?
flavivsaetivs
Yeah. It's the 4th expansion fo Star Wars: The Old Republic.
TheSoftPainterBoy
The Knights are the guys in yellow. Game is Star Wars the Old Republic iirc
shoulkion
=( I don't like that game though
SkyeIngram17
I LOVED that game until they changed crafting. I haven’t played since :(
MrMan2101
post-craft player here. how was it changed that killed it for you m
SkyeIngram17
I played with my husband. We would both specialize in different crafts. Part of the fun for us was crafting for each other and also 1/2
SkyeIngram17
Crafting for the npcs. 2/2
ShadowTeller
It was amazing,until "free2play"model.Granted it could be better, but for what it was. Instead became "sub$15 and be prepared to spend more"
flavivsaetivs
It's not pay to win but If you sub it's worth it.
ShadowTeller
That's technically true,, but it does put you at a severe disadvantage to anyone that doesn't. CAN win isn't the same as fun and fair.
flavivsaetivs
TBF though F2P players can only get to level like 50 or 60. So they're not up against fully geared level 70's
flavivsaetivs
They're Nathema Zealots, part of the weird turn expansions 3 and 4 (KotFE and KotET) took. Decent story but doesn't mesh well.
bigdirtysay
Why do those guys in the back just wait? I would have srabbed her in the back.
FriendsRomansCountrymenGiveMeYourDownvotes
Because the cameraman is behind her and they don't have beef with him
Drathe
Because then you get to spend decades being slowly tortured to death for killing the Empress. They wanted to stop her without hurting her
praximus
Why cant the movies ever be this good? Why?!
domenick91
Because Disney
G4M5T3R
Disney had nothing to do with ep1/2/3
LasciviousHedgehog
Cost and time. These cutscenes take an absolute age to produce at high cost.
HeyListenHereFucko
This has to be awesome for a few minutes. Movies have to be awesome for a few hours. My guess anyway
ZachNanamus
Correct. Making light saber scenes fun and interesting on a conceptual level is easy compared to crafting a compelling narrative.
pvtpastapajamas
TLJ throne room battle.
domenick91
There are evem issues with the throne room battle
FallingWithStyleSquirrel
This is 15 seconds of action. You think this would make a good 2 hour movie?
HelloKittyCupcakesJoy
I have seen the YouTube "all the cinematics" for TOR and TFU multiple times, yes the make good 2 hr movies.
Quessan
I mean.... have you seen the animate clone wars movie?
mindstorm8191
Actually... yes
Velexis
It would be awesome. It'll just never make its money back
SouperScott
If all it is, is two hours of lightsabre fighting, I'm gonna be bored about 20 minutes in.
thebridgejumper
I’ve never played, but I love the cinematic trailers. The duels are so fluid, the music is on point, everything.
Duraxis
The game was fun until it went “free to play” and they started charging for every little thing that normally comes free in MMOs
RealCameleer
the game and community was really good but end game content killed the game and most people left
FallingWithStyleSquirrel
The camera sure ain't fluid.
tobiassolem
For some reason I read that as "the mucus is on point" xD
ForTheRepublic212th
Cinematic are really the only great thing. The game ain’t too good in my opinion.
BitchButcher
Fluent but unrealistic. You can see how they are waiting to fight because the protagonist is still fighting another one.
flavivsaetivs
It's star wars, lol.
RedBeardedGentleman
well then using "logic" if you swing that laser sword through her while shes fighting your buddy, itd slice through both of them
Kirkwardo1
Sith dont fight well when grouped up. They prefer 1v1 cause the hate blinds them to anything they are not focused on.
thebridgejumper
Sith don’t like fighting multiple enemies at one time, because as you know, “there can only be 2”
Calzel
Yeah kotr trailers are to mmos what mobile game trailers are to mobile game play
TheHumanCentipanzer
Yea that wiffle-bat lightsaber feel kinda took it away for me, but that's whatcha get with MMOs.
purgethefilthyheretics

SWTOR
dulakhc
Diablo and starcraft cinematics were my fav when younger..this is...well 2018 holy shit.
Beardworldchampion
capt'n here,swtor:knights of the eternal throne launched on 2016 *flies away*
Tsinis
Cause it's made by Blur Studio a vfx studio who is responsible for some of the best cgi trailer ever, also they're the one that made the
flavivsaetivs
They also made the Halo 2 Anniversary Cutscenes which are gorgeous.
OrionCenturion
And the cutscenes the halo wars games
Hawkner
And the OG wars as well iirc. They also are permanently partnered with 343i for all future Halo game cinematics
Tsinis
First deadpool possible as it's their cgi scene that convinced the studio to make it and it was so good it is as it is in the movie, it's
rusrsdude
You use "it" wayy too much.
Tsinis
Lol only realized now that you mention it damn again
Tsinis
The highway scene at the beginning
purgethefilthyheretics
Too bad the game can't live up to that in any way possible. It's a shitty game.
flavivsaetivs
No it's not. It's an MMO but it's not shitty. It has declined due to budget cuts and dev cuts thanks to EA though.
purgethefilthyheretics
Imo all mmos are shitty, so this one is as well :p
Birate
I’d say it’s actually went up in quality over the years, it’s just the early decline and f2p fucked it over.
flavivsaetivs
The problem is they don't have the resources to keep up both story and MMO content. Or fix the millions of bugs, which keep getting worse.
R0meo04
This from TOR? Is the game still alive?
JifLover
I maxed a BH. Played a few other characters. It wasn't what was promised in my opinion. Never is, so I didn't get disappointed.
flavivsaetivs
But the problem with the game, as always, was EA. Rushed the release, slashed the dev team, and drained all the money from it.
The13thDude
Fuck EA. So many games ruined. My poor mass effect 3. 6 1/2 years later, I still see that ending every time I close my eyes.
flavivsaetivs
I actually loved ME3 but never played the original un-patched ending.
flavivsaetivs
Yes. The design decisions of 2015 and 2016 killed the game's population, but it had been doing really well up through Shadow of Revan.
Udesi
Right there with you man those where the glory days. Swtor was really looking up then and then boom kotfe
flavivsaetivs
They're releasing a new expansion next year some time.
ShaggaLikesAxes1
I’m still playing for the story itself occasionally. still seems worth it for that at least.
tahlcorra
Same
Quessan
Its worth it for the story
SnarkyRedcoat
It’s FTP now, still got a small community, they never really got rolling ‘cause they released an unfinished product... so much potential.
JessiLongfellows
I tried downloading and playing but it just refuses to work
Udesi
It's a finished product. Until eternal throne. It's been running on skeleton crew for a while. It's just a money grab scheme atm
Quessan
This. You can play through the story solo, play it for the story.
flavivsaetivs
Naw they did get going, had a population of over 1.7 mil at its highest. But continual cuts to devs and budgets killed it over 2015-16.
SnarkyRedcoat
1.7million out of how many Star Wars fans? Rushing an unfinished product to release in a world with WoW doomed it to failure.
flavivsaetivs
Oh it's had way more players than that, estimated around 6 million I think. But the advertising for the game was always poor, sadly.
flavivsaetivs
It's EA's fault it didn't succeed because it easily could have, but EA doesn't know how to manage an MMO (or anything, really).
BlueLanternBraxx
I dunno man, I played that for so many fucking hours. So many. Loved it.
Birate
The pvp was wonderful.
G4M5T3R
Just curious, was that before or after the Realm Reborn reboot?
BlueLanternBraxx
Before mostly, but I tend to go on my main and do the expansion story modes when they come out.
stja
They never got rolling because they released a wow in space without endgame.
Quessan
its...its nothing like WoW
stja
Oh please. They copied WoW's old talent system 1:1 just as Blizzard switched out of it and built identical gameplay on it.
GermaneRiposte
The talent trees and ui were exact copies of wow. SWTOR was way better at storytelling tho
Quessan
So you give one example, that doesn't effect gameplay nor the story, and claim it's a WoW clone?
SnarkyRedcoat
Oh well, back to pre-cu SWG I go ? #SWGemu
Finrau
Combat upgrades....
TheAmazingDancingBear
SWG Legends is a great working server with a pretty decent size player base. Worth a shot if you loved SWG.
mastshin
are there servers?! i fucking loved that game!
ShaggaLikesAxes1
There are, and a few different emulators to try depending on your preference pre cu or or post. Some are farther along than others.
troy11998822
SWG was my first MMO love
