LR Star Wars: Dark Forces / Jedi Knight Steelbooks

[L1Slayer]

Finally took some pictures of these beauties. So, in case someone is interested in seeing some picks of them, here you go.

I have to admit, at first I wasn't super excited to take them out of their CEs, since they seemed rather medicore on LRs pictures.
But in person they are really well done. Text and frames are embossed and the coloration is really nice too.
My favorite is definetly the JK2: Outcast one. Really love a good black&blue combination.
If I had to nitpick, I would say they could have done better on the spines in order to have them look more like a series.
The Switch text position is also very much diffrent and breaks a clean continuous look. Other than that, I'm really happy with them. 4,5/5

Picks of the PC/Switch steels. (The PS4 steels also have the Aspyr logo on the back, much like the switch ones)

I also have to say though: I'm not going to order many LR CEs in the future.
Except for the steels, the rest is rather lackluster.
(The DooM one may be interesting to me, but I'm leaning towards passing)

Thank you. They are really gorgeous.

I actually played them all on PC growing up. JK2 was my first multiplayer game ever. I figured out how to play it on MSN Gaming Zone in Summer 2000. I was 10 years old then.

I had Saturday school that morning, since I was a slacker at school during the weekdays. But all I could think of in class was going home and playing all night long. I was a really spoiled kid haha.

Then I discovered massassi.net and the modding community, and it's all a blur from there.

Thanks for sharing. This post got me really nostalgic. Crazy how fast time flies. I'm an old timer now!

Back on topic -- I only bought Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy editions. I would have bought DF and JK2 as well, if they were available for the PS4. My computer gaming days are long gone. Went the console route in 2005, and never looked back. Nice to be able to play games without having to worry about outdated hardware.

Consoles these days last a long time too.

Edit: I believe Star Wars Republic Commando will be up for orders next Friday.

Your story almost reads as mine. Played Outcast and Academy pretty long online. Now we're the old guys. :P

I sadly missed Republic Commando and Battlefront completely, so am gonna stick with just these. :)
