Wait, hold up, Restored content DLC? Did they get the restored content mod on the switch?
The last switch port of kotor was kind of mediocre, ran at 40-50 fps and had a giant text box that said you are in combat. Also all the textures were improperly up-scaled.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
KoToR 2 without the fan fixes is not a complete game.

Love this game. Have it on Steam. I need to get missing content mod and do another playthrough.

I've never played kotor, do I need to play kotor 1 to enjoy kotor 2?

I would say so, both are really good games.

KOTOR: When BioWare was still highly regarded for their games.
KOTOR2: Marked Obsidian's name upon the map of good RPG developers.
I'd buy it again. I am always afraid of crashes on iOS.

Lucky for you this version will have cut content DLC to make it complete.

Do you happen to know if the iOS-version is with the restored content or without?

TSLRCM built-in as optional DLC? Inconceivable... Well done Aspyr.

I don't think Activisison Blizzard has been too bad. They've not brought over Call of Duty but most over things have come to Switch.Gee whiz, it's like a few people own this system and want to buy games to play on it! This experiment has potential!
Meanwhile, EA and Actblizz:
Nope
Never played Kotor1 myself beyond the first three hours and really enjoying Kotor 2.
Has also very different vibes in regard of game's premise and story opening and you see Obsidians's handwriting in this.
Kotor 1 if you want a conventional Star Wars experience, Kotor 2 for unconventional SW story. Both are good, though, just different. (gameplay is the same though).

I've already had both KoToR games on Xbox for forever, but I was already considering getting 1 on Switch just to have a portable version too; now 2 is coming out with restored content?

No. Not at all. Based on your response you're triggered though! Lol

I almost pulled the trigger on the first one, but i figured a dual pack would be released later, so I skipped it. Nothing worse than buying a Limited Run Game that comes to retail later as a dual pack and drops to $20 dollars.

An apologist for brain-dead developers that can't seem to be able to produce one Madden or CoD for a system that's going to end up looking down on all other systems. Meanwhile, Actiblizz is being purchased and EA is looking for a buyer.

In terms of gameplay, yes. There have been some much needed balance changes. Narrative is different. Both are great.

This port is not good. Reduced particles, static images instead of moving ones for holograms. The audio gets slown down to match the animations and the voices go really deep. AI sharpened textures that are often worse at times.
Kotor 2 might be my favourite western rpg, but this port is a pass from me.

Lighting looked better on Xbox 15 years ago. The blur and bloom compensated for the low resolution textures. The original visuals were more movie-like. Nothing that modern post-process filters can't fix but Aspyr didn't/couldn't add any.

How could they fuck this up so badly.

How do you fuck up an Xbox port? I thought initially that the brightness/gamma on captures was fucked up, but apparently they managed to make Xbox gen lighting worse?
Was it an intern doing the port or something?

It's the same on PC sans "AI"-upscaled textures. Xbox consoles (up to Series S/X, I think it's fixed now) had a darker gamma curve than other platforms. If a game was designed with Xbox in mind it would appear "washed out" on Playstation or PC.
In docked mode lowering the TV's gamma setting should help, besides lowering the ingame brightness. PC version of course has mods and shaders.

It's just Aspyr. They botched another Star Wars Switch port iirc. Forget which one.

Aspyr acknowledges there’s no way to complete Star Wars KOTOR II on Switch | VGC
The company says it’s working on a patch to address a game-breaking crash…
www.videogameschronicle.com
The title, which was released for Nintendo's console on June 8, includes a game-breaking crash that occurs after the Basilisk Crash cutscene when landing on Onderon.
Aspyr was asked about the issue, which is scheduled to be addressed in an upcoming patch, by a frustrated Twitter user called Daniel Moore.
They messaged Aspyr asking if it was aware that the game can't be completed in its current state.
"Hi, this is a known issue that will be addressed in the next patch," came the official response. "While we cannot provide an ETA at this time, we will definitely let you know when the patch is live."
Moore responded by saying they were one of the users who originally reported the problem before it was acknowledged as a known issue, before adding: "Just to be clear you're aware that there is no way to complete this game currently?"
To which Aspyr replied: "Yes, we are aware and our dev team is working on delivering the patch as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience in the meantime!"

And they put it out anyway
What a bunch of cunts, and Nintendo didnt mind either. The state of gaming now is just a complete joke, like everything else.
