Tactical dismemberment / removal of offensive options from monsters does not equate to animal torture, FYI. Sounds like FO is just another generic hack and slash (oh wait, can't really slash/hack anything, can you? wiffle bats...) with a bit of magic move stuff.. bleh. I did 'preorder' it a few hours ago and I'll put about an hour and a half into it tomorrow morning and see how I feel about continuing. I've been looking for a strong spiritual sequel to KOTOR2 for a long time now, but I think I'm gonna be disappointed.

Fighting with a lightsaber and not cutting stuff is kinda like those old (or new, dunno if it's still the case) cartoons where every weapon is a laser because you can't have blood/bullets/whatever so it's taser time for everyone. It's.... lame. No need to go full Mortal Kombat but come on, could've put a parental control option for this stuff. What I mean is, give me Star Wars Revengeance Miss Mowcher fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Nov 15, 2019 |

It's not a big deal either way to me if the feature isn't in or only for creatures but people acting like that those that want at least an option for dismemberment (which pretty much always happens even to people whenever a lightsaber gets turned on) are budding psychopaths is kinda extreme.

The animals fly apart and get cut to pieces all the time what's this argument about Having accurate cutting off piece for animals would be actual work for the developers which seems like something they've tried to avoid in releasing this game for Christmas and a movie release

Stormies losing arms would have been the most I'd have done, even Jedi Knight 1 had that in all its 10 polygon goodness. Everyone throws Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy around for g_saberrealisticcombat but even they defaulted to arms without that command activated. Now if there isn't a purple color option for Cal's saber, that's when the real controversy starts.

Lol this game is getting 90s These reviews read very similarly to the reviews for Outer Worlds which are more invested in what it means for the genre or IP than whether the game is doing anything special

Holy poo poo this game is gorgeous. I’m getting 60 FPS on epic settings with an i7/1660 ti laptop and it’s CGI movie quality. Not just in technical effects, the art design going on in the shipbreaking yard was top-notch.

Yeah, I wonder whether this is going to be another Outer Worlds from a critical perspective. The graphics take a noticeable dip after the introductory scrapper's stage and combat is not good.

The story, not that I'm far in, appears to be all Star Wars for better or worse. Although some weird writing decisions, like the Captain on the ship that rescues you scoffing at Cal apparently having bad dreams after the rescue as if that's surprising. I don't get why anyone would say the combat is bad, it's standard fare for a action game in this style. It's not quite as good as God of War but it's certainly not bad by any stretch or reasonable comparison. It's definitely not From Software combat but that's an aberration in the field (which you have to be looking for and isn't necessarily great on mass appeal merits), not the standard. I wouldn't call it in the 90s, on a 100 scale, but I'd say it fits a 4 out of 5 at this point on the likelihood that the story isn't going to be extraordinary and it does dip a bit in quality after the first planet, although it still looks great.

Ahaha, in the movement tutorial, your Jedi master tells you “faster, more intensity” if you gently caress up, which was basically the main directors note Lucas gave during the prequels that drove the cast nuts.
