Wow, I never would have thought any of my videos would reach this kind of viewership. I'm extremely humbled by it! Hopefully I'll be able to make more videos in the upcoming months on finalizer!
Even though the game is little jank, the concept of how tough it was to get Jedi and the special gameplay it comes with like actually being hunted by real players, is an experience that will never be replicated again.
It’s an experience that should’ve been capitalized and expanded upon in the 20 years since it’s introduction. It’s an absolute shame. I’m playing SWG R3 and it’s a blast.
@@nectarinedreams7208 franchises apart, maybe. But otherwise rather similar. They’re both multiplayer games that allow you to do many of the same things while playing with and against NPCs and other players.
lol that 85% saber block against range attacks is a nightmare for range bhers. I remember back in 2005 attacking a full templated 225K jedi who had just had his buffs drop at a starport and I ended up having to run for my life as he deflected 14 of my shots from my epic de-10 and was starting to come at me in front of a crowd of 60 onlookers. Just one shot from my de-10 connecting would have killed him, but he was like Obi Wan deflecting everything. My reputation on Bria would have gone down the toilet if I had lost to an unbuffed jedi while I was fully buffed. It was funny the moment where we both realized that we were playing russian roulette and it was in both of our interests to go the other way.
@@-dale2051 that's how much a full templated jedi who had two masteries was worth on the bounty hunter terminals. A full templated jedi who had three masteries was worth 226k. If they were ranked in the frs system like a dark jedi knight and so forth, then they could be worth 325k+
@@elfo7 I just ran away, because I didn't want to lose a fight to an unbuffed jedi which meant he had like no health at all since 99% of pvp took place with fully buffed characters (who were buffed by Master Doctor players). This fight was in front of at least 60 people in a crowded starport and it would of hit my ego to lose that fight as I was fully buffed and had a bunch of food and drink I was also using. Originally there was permadeath where if you died as a jedi you lost your jedi (Late 2003). They changed it early on to if you were killed as a jedi your lost over 3 hours worth of XP. Farming XP as a jedi was pretty rough as you had to avoid killing humanoid npcs and you had to avoid being seen by any other players while using your lightsaber. A lot of jedi would farm animals in the middle of nowhere on a planet like Endor. As a bounty hunter, you just acquired wounds that you would have to see a doctor to heal and your armor would lose some durability.
my word how I miss this game, I never made it to jedi but man did I love having a rancor as a pet ( I was a creature tamer/ teras kasi ) I loved running into battle with my rancor. The games was just superb, the music, the vibes of exploration, going to Poi on the planets, battling NightSisters, fighting krayt dragons and getting rare pearls. was such a blast.
@@Pyr0cd I played during BETA up until late 2005ish. I was like the 50th or so person to unlock Jedi when the Holocrons were the go to source to unlocking being force sensitive and the old man visiting you. Loved the video, took me back when I got attacked constantly back in the day from BHs. Lol
@@Pyr0cd but on a much serious note, I have SWG legends don't like it all to well but I had to get the virtual disks. For me to play the version of SWG EMU do I just need the launcher to play or create its own separate folder ?
Pretty sure the combat medic was lag-hacking, hitting you when they didn't have line of sight from beyond the game's maximum allowed range of 120 meters. Happened all the damn time in the original game. Hell, there was a guild that was proud they hacked on the server I was on. Called themselves SYN and they were so cheese they'd send one guy to take out entire cities in PVP. And they'd WIN. I remember one time I was Imp at the time and Three entire guilds responded to a 3-man SYN attack, inside the most heavily fortified Imp city on the server. It was literally the size of Coronet, with houses laid out to force people into killzones covered by multiple turrets, in multiple layers, around 3 max-level bases with max level NPC's. All three guilds were slaughtered, the defenses were destroyed, and the bases blown, and SYN didn't even incap, much less lose anyone. Sony's response; Perma-Ban and account lock anyone who claimed or posted proof SYN were hacking.
Fuck i miss this , pre cu was best nothing can compare . Those squill hunting groups when i was new was awesome . Master rifleman with doctor was great .
Just so you know, this video is what I send people who I think are autistic enough to experience the game we practically grew up with lol, it doesn't deserve to be forgotten, even if it wasn't star wars.. this game was way too damn fun and you show why lol.
gotta say the CU really did help the game imo, cuz that looks rough. I've actually grown used to the NGE controls and stuff, hoping Legends keeps adding cool stuff like Bespin.
The way the movement changed killed it for me, the way you slide as your character / speeder move backwards. More servers = more choices and more choices is always better! 😋
You can buy the disks loaded onto a USB drive, or download the disks and dock them to your hard drive (although if they ask for proof of disks and you don't have them they will ban you) so do that at your own risk. I hope I answered your question
@@Pyr0cd can I get more info on the first option? It is legit enough not to get banned? I'm interested cause while my laptop is more than enough to run this game it doesn't have a DVD drive and I don't have a gaming pc
@@breadmakesyoufat2403 you can order a USB with the game loaded onto the USB, the staff are pretty lenient knowing no one uses CD drives anymore, I would suggest ordering physical copies to have laying around. But that's up to you
@@breadmakesyoufat2403 I've been on basilisk for about 2 years and my copies have been in storage the whole time, it's pretty rare for them to ask for proof of ownership
Everyone has their preferred way. Totally fine. But proof pre was better is the 90% pop drop after. And the end to all servers. Actually though I just found out about Restoration. Mostly pre cu with some adoptions from after. Nice pop size, just feels like the best. And jedi is still hard to obtain.
Nice! I miss SWG but this video reminds me of why I hated PreCU. The combat is horrible. Also, that was all Jedi would do was force run all over the place. Don't get me wrong, I loved this era but mostly post CU - pre NGE.

Good shit
Great to see the old game play. Never played back then. I prefer the NGE combat to be honest. I glad the community can make both happen.

Hey! Is this swg restoration?
Nah, this was basilisk
those slow mo effects tho lol

The server this was on no longer exists, but there are plenty others. Look up finalizer swg or infinity swg

And like all Jedi, the first thing you do is run.
Tell me you've never played jedi without telling me you've never played jedi
you be nice to Lucy. wtf

I was interviewed by a New York Times writer concerning how Sony ruined Star Wars Galaxies and turned into a game for mindless 12 year olds
and here you are clicking on videos with a pre-emptive bias towards the content you are intentionally clicking on...who is the mindless one here?
Damn those are some of the worst BH ive ever seen lol. No one was keeping intimidate up on you hardly.
Combat in this game always looked/felt janky as fuck.
But it doesn't feel like it looks, it can be intense
