Actual serious question. But how do you sign up for EA premium to get this for $15? I poked around all over the EA access hub and store on the xbone and couldn’t find an option for ea premium or anything.

It’s only for PC.

Got through the entire prologue/tutorial before I had to stop. It basically plays like a mashup of Uncharted, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, and Sekiro. Uncharted in presentation and platforming with AC controls for traversal (e.g. holding LT to climb objects), and then combat is pretty Sekiro so far (really rewards parry timing, block meter that eventually breaks, etc.). They haven't introduced the Dark Souls elements with bonfires and souls and stuff, but I've heard they're in there.

Framerate is a solid 30 on XboneX in the resolution mode.

Pretty convinced that this is the game that Jeff and Brad were talking around playing all weekend on the Bombcast (in a good way).

How similar is it to Sekiro combat? Is the parry window more forgiving? I’m a huge Dark Souls fan but I couldn’t stand Sekiro because I was never a parry guy. Is the dodge viable in Fallen Order or is it at least a little easier than Sekiro?

Depends on what difficulty you pick, they actually show you how parry timing, etc. changes.

I’m still super early but you’re clearly intended to mix parries and dodges. There are block buster attacks and unparryable moves.

Sounds reasonable. The one thing I hated about Sekiro was how punishing the block meter was and if you missed one parry the whole fight pretty much reset. This sounds a lot more forgiving especially with the difficulty settings. I’m backed to being hyped.

I'm playing on the second hardest difficulty and it doesn't seem as unforgiing as Sekiro, as someone who enjoyed that combat, I actually wished I'd started on the hardest, so I reckon normal will be fine for you.

Hmm for whatever reason it's not letting me launch this while "visiting" New Zealand - I'm using Tunnel Bear and Steam, anyone else got it to work for them?

Actually kind of a good thing, now I'll make it to work on time, but I did want to jump in and fiddle with graphics settings to see how it looks on my busted old 970

No luck for me either, using nordVPN and Steam. The steam store page still shows the countdown until it comes out on the east coast of the US.

Steam uses a different time unlock system compared to Origin. If you're using Steam you're out of luck.

This game needs to be out back in the oven, it's not done. I'm clipping through poo poo all the time, it's not pretty to look at and the animations are way below what I expected. It doesn't seem very good! Feels like I'm playing an old game.

Someone posted this regarding to unlocking early with origin. I left for work so I can’t test this out, but let me know if it works!


1. Close origin and control+alt+delete any related processes. (I also reinstalled origin itself, not any of my games including Star Wars but I don’t think that was necessary)

2. Delete the following folders:
Origin folder in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\
Origin folder in C:\Users\ <username> \AppData\Roaming\
Origin folder in C:\ProgramData
3. Start your VPN and connect to NZ

You can't use a VPN to unlock the steam release - it's on a global timer not a timed release like on origin.

Are you using the Morrowind Enhanced Textures pack or the Morrowind Graphics Overhaul mod?

It may not have properly compiled with Wyre Bash. What is your load order?

How many times do we have to go over this before idiots stop posting stuff about review embargo’s having anything to do with the quality of a game? It’s Disney and EA they are not releasing poo poo about anything before it’s released. Also it was posted days ago that the embargo is up tonight.

I mean they sent out review codes last week and a bunch of media have been obliquely indicating that the game’s good but sure.

I mean they opened the embargo for Death Stranding way early and that game got savaged by a bunch of outlets (not necessarily an opinion I agree with). Meanwhile Doom had a launch date embargo and was a media and fan darling.

I’m just saying it’s more about publishers than it is about quality more often than not.

Respawn games typically suck? I’m not defending anything it’s just stupid to see misinformation about review embargo’s thrown around everywhere you go.

Also it’s loving hilarious for goons to constantly complain and worry about review embargo’s and then in the next sentence talk about how reviewers suck and shouldn’t be listened to.
