Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

The battlefront 3 was also posted tonight! I wonder if they'll sync up next week.

I noticed that too! We can have the weekly Star Wars fanboy reposts... Not sure if to up vote for being faithful or down vote for being unnecessary..

It's a necessarily pressure release. We open 'er up a bit every week so she doesn't build up too much pressure, you really don't want to see when one of these babies blows.

apparently there story did go on after the games ending (where order 66 is carried out). unfortunately they opted to make into a book instead of a kickass sequel this game deserved

[–]o0eagleeye0o 1 point2 points ago

What's the name of the book?

[–]cwg930 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's a series of books, more focused on another squad but the Deltas also feature prominently in some parts.

The first one in the series is Republic Commando: Hard Contact

[–]rmhawesome -2 points-1 points ago

Hard Contact is about a different squad entirely and happens well before Order 66

Thats cool, lets just reply to comments without even reading them first!

[–]rmhawesome 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I totally did read the book though

[–]Lethal_Injection 0 points1 point ago

It's just that the comment you were responding to alluded to that fact, making yours seem unnecessarily critical and harsh.

[–]rmhawesome -4 points-3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Oh I was trying to make light the situation by making it seem as though I hadn't read your comment either

That's a damn shame. That game was one hell of an experience for me. I'll never forget the feeling when I played it for the first time. I almost cried at the ending too, I was pretty attached to the characters by the end of it. I wish there was a sequel.

They also made a Republic Commando game with the subheading Order 66 for cellphones.

What a waste.

[–]QuantmParadox 0 points1 point ago

I believe that they chose not to obey. I'm not sure if it was them who defected after order 66 or it was another group of commandos, but it is definitely recorded that either a squad or multiple squads chose not to follow through with order 66.

[–]Tracker18o 0 points1 point ago

They move to mandalore with many other commandos, read the republic commando novel series and then read the series after the yhuuzhan vong one( I cant remember the name :( )

[–]sexgott 0 points1 point ago

w8w8, I must admit, I don't know much about the post-OT EU because frankly I never gave a shit, but the clone commandos are still relevant after the Yuuzhan Vong?! The fuck?

[–]L_Duo 0 points1 point ago

I believe there are a few that are still alive. It actually figures into Boba Fett's story. Some have their genetics reworked, and the rapid aging processed slowed.

I still say we should make the sequel ourselves as a mod. Unfortunately the Unreal tools that came with SW:RC were kind of crippled, but there's always the UDK etc and I'm 99% sure you could even transfer assets from the game over.

Did nobody read the books associated with this game!??!! So many thing make more sense after reading it!

[–]spicymelons 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I am 27. I played this game and beat it for the first time last month. It was an awesome experience.

I'll never use another light saber again.

I have no idea what order 66 is. I also didn't know there were books for this, I'll check them out.

[–]bottle415 1 point2 points ago

gonna assume you never watched episode 3?

[–]spicymelons -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't think I did actually. I saw episode 2.

[–]bottle415 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

yeah order 66 is introduced in episode 3, so watch that and read the books!

[–]heerus 1 point2 points ago

I wont spoil anything major here...but if you really do not want to know

SPOILERS

Order 66 is Palpatine's (The Emperor) order which tells all the clones to exterminate all the Jedi. It happens like right after the end of Republic Commando.

Hit "source" below my comment.

SPOILER ALERT LOL

edit: does this only work in certain subreddits? It doesn't show up right in my overview :/

[–]spicymelons 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

oh, I googled it. My eyes have been opened. After the way Republic Commando ended I was pissed. I understand that's the risk we take though.

I think I would've said no to order 66.

[–]heerus 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I may be wrong but from what I heard the clones were raised or somehow genetically altered to obey orders. Even though some did not follow the order, others were not able to.
