That glitch, which crashes the sport after the “Basilisk Crash” cutscene on the planet Onderon, has the inconvenient aspect impact of constructing the Swap model utterly unbeatable.

Whereas Aspyr promised this game-breaking glitch could be fastened within the sport’s subsequent downloadable patch, loads of sport builders previously have not had that possibility. KOTOR II on the Swap is the most recent in an extended line of video games that have been actually not possible to finish (or to get a full, 100 p.c completion charge) after they launched.

We’re additionally not speaking about video games the place the participant is compelled to reset after by accident stumbling into an in-game predicament the place they’ll not make progress (TV Tropes has a large checklist of video games that match this description).
