VanillaGorilla posted:It was honestly the only fight in the game that I hated. I finally just turned the difficulty down to beat it. She cheats A LOT, like just passes through or ignores your hits, has crazy homing on all of her attacks, etc. Ha! I just did the exact same thing after a half dozen frustrated attempts. And the post-fight cutscenes were pretty lovely, yeah. I like how earnest and vulnerable everybody was throughout the game. It wasn't especially well written, but I'll take poorly-written growth and healing through openness in favour of poorly-written cynical nihilism. Could have used at least a few more hours of Cal introducing his new girlfriend to his unimpressed parents that poo poo was gold.

Finished the game today. It was alright, I guess. Like I previously said the story is good while everything else is anywhere from mediocre to just dumb. It's not as good as people say it is while also not being as bad as others are saying it is. It is the best Star Wars game in years but that is more of a testament to EA totally loving up the license than on how good this game is. Overall I liked it because of the story but it frustrated me more than it should have because of game mechanics and design decisions. I would still like to see Respawn have another go at Star Wars. End game stuff. Cera is talking to Trilla and then all of a sudden you see the fear in Triila's eyes. Then you hear the breathing. As soon as I heard it I said out loud, "We're hosed". I am so glad they made it a chase scene than fighting Vader. It would have ruined Vader if you had Cal fight him and live. Vader is a bad rear end who annihilated everything whose only weakness is a teenage moisture farmer. .

Pretty far from finishing I think but yeah think I'd have been way happier if I paid in the $30-40 range instead of $60. I'll definitely replay it again but all the boxes and items and poo poo are just pointless. Funny for an EA game that promised to have no lootboxes or microtransactions that last $20 seems to have covered that base.

The items are really weird. I think they'd intended to have a more expansive God of War style loot system but abandoned it for time (along with all the other undercooked elements of the game), but they already had a backtracking game world that could be sold as a Metroidvania set up. If they'd just gone the whole hog on copying Sekiro it would have been a better game. The lack of NG+ to allegedly preserve the flow of this tightly wrought game is laughable too. I tried to backtrack through Zeffo since I missed lots in that zone, but I only did about five map areas before quitting. I wish I could say nice things about this game but every element of it falls just short of being good, outside of the story which I thought was very standard, but it's a well told star wars story and credit for that.

Why is it that sometimes I can instakill an enemy after a successful parry/guard break but sometimes it only lets me hit them once? I just beat a boss fight with a lightsaber user and it seemed that spamming slow to get a few cheap hits in was the only reasonable strategy.

You can learn the timing to parry them out of stamina but I've noticed a lot of bosses don't regen stamina, they just suddenly return to max after a particular move, so it's basically pointless trying to go for a guard break and using slow is the universal answer.

Finished the game earlier. It's pretty good and I look forward to a sequel. I was surprised to see Darth Vader. They reference the character but I figured they'd save it for the sequel. I thought Saw would be their one movie character they could include. I thought spoiler character was done well. I got all the cosmetics but didn't get all the plants or scans. My only complaint for the cosmetics is that there's not really different outfits. Jacket or poncho and that's it. And it takes way too drat long before you get different color crystals.

Ornamented Death posted:My first (and so far only) crash was at the same general point, after the fight. mine too. i’ve since had a second full crash to home screen when entering the tomb on dathomir. plenty of full 10-15 second freezes as well. near constant framerate fluctuation and light stuttering in large open areas. lot of pop in too. the jank is a little surprising, one thing I couldn’t say about BF2 was that it wasn’t incredibly polished. Titanfall 2 ran like a dream too. Its not like theres a lot of stuff going on in this game either, like it looks good but not moreso than any average AAA title these days and the environments are pretty standard 3D action adventure without many moving parts. It’s not like there’s a lot of systems at play here. and they to hogwild with the narrow crevice disguised loading screens, so it’s not like it’s ever really trying to track and render all that much at once also what’s with all the loving slides. the climbing and big crate and ball puzzles, sure whatever, video games. a little lazy but i can appreciate it from a classic kind of view. but there are SO MANY slides. they’re like major integral parts of almost every world’s level design, it’s so silly. kind of hard to get immersed in the ambience when every other room on Zeffo is connected by that penguin slide challenge from Mario 64

Game's been fine since then, that and the one oddball WHOOPS GOTTA RELOAD I mentioned earlier have been the only big technical issues.Mandrel posted:also what’s with all the loving slides. the climbing and big crate and ball puzzles, sure whatever, video games. a little lazy but i can appreciate it from a classic kind of view. but there are SO MANY slides. they’re like major integral parts of almost every world’s level design, it’s so silly. kind of hard to get immersed in the ambience when every other room on Zeffo is connected by that penguin slide challenge from Mario 64 These feel like the most direct (and mindless, and unfun) rip from Tomb Raider, with the unintentional ice slide silliness I assume coming from someone's bright idea to have a reason for sliding without actively having rivers everywhere. You'd think a Jedi would excel at this kind of thing, but they feel like the most slapdash, clumsily out-of-control sections of the game, and I don't like them. Those sequences and the lack of fast travel are my two main enjoyment-affecting issues so far.

It's not *wrecking* it for me, I'd still be having fun without any collectibles, but it'd be nice to have something more interesting. I bet when they started developing this game the cosmetics and such were fully intended to be microtransaction based, but at some point in the last 6 years with all the poo poo EA has taken for that kind of thing they decided to take microtransactions out and just had some intern scatter the chests about the levels.

I guess the health, force and droid upgrades are supposed to be enough. When you only have a lightsaber it’s tough to throw more stuff out there. I just got what I imagine is the last upgrade on Kashyyk (security droid hacking). It’s nice to have extra tanks but yeah the variety is definitely lacking. Also once you have the free kashyyk poncho other clothes are meaningless. I feel like I’ve finally completely internalized the combat. Whenever a bounty hunter spawn drops instead of being like “ah gently caress I’ll probably die” it’s more of a “ooh extra skill point xp” situation. To whoever was asking about boss fights earlier, one thing that helps in any fight with a tougher enemy, but especially bosses is a single tap evade out of an attack and then attack while the enemy is still attacking, it just straight up damages them. It’s the only reasonable way to kill those loving annoying duel wielding purge troopers.

After finishing the second trip to Zeffo I was heading back to the Mantis but got sidetracked into the ice caves. Fought a bounty hunter droid there, died to it, got taken the arena, got out. But the dialogue before the ice cave suggested something might have been happening at the Mantis. Did I miss something?

I can't believe this game doesn't have NG+ so you can just fight the bosses and watch the story again with all your poo poo. The games not interesting enough to warrant collecting all the stupid garbage a second time. Good grief. I just want to listen to lightsaber make whirring noise and see the dumb as gently caress choreography in the flashback bit again.

I think I can count on one hand the number of times in the game so far that I've remembered that you can use Slow in combat. I mostly just hit people with lightsaber skills and never use my force powers. But from a few pages back, does anyone have a video of the cutscene when you get the double blade the right way. I thought it was super weird that it just showed up with no fanfare when I randomly tried to customize my lightsaber sheath in the first 2 hours of the game once. But whenever I try to look for the cutscene I just find articles like 'How to get the Double-blade early' and such.

If you look at the map you’ll see a “secrets” collectibles category. These are life essences, Force essences, or stims. Assuming you’re on your first visit to Wookiee planet then one I remember is easy to get but also easy to miss. On Zeffo just past the hanger where a couple of the rats are fighting over a stormtrooper there’s a small arena where a bunch of them come out of holes. Instead of moving toward the abandoned village look around and you’ll see a cave. I think you should have Force push right? There’s another directly below the landing pad on Bogano. You have to do a little pushing with a ball through a fence but eventually you can get it into the hole.

Edit: I'm stuck with a puzzle on kashyyk. There's a climbing wall directly next to a running wall at 90-degrees. When I try to jump off the climbing-wall cal resolutely continues to face it, meaning I can't face the running wall and can't run on it. What button presses do I need to do to make him transition from a climbing-wall to a running-wall? Edit: I was locked onto Kashyyk once I visited, but hopefully I'll be able to return to the Mantis soon. The Lone Badger fucked around with this message at 09:55 on Nov 18, 2019 |

I am undecided....this game fells okay, but also absolutely overrated after 3 days of playing. Pros: - Game is hard on the highest level, so the trolls who called it too easy, were wrong, like always. - Combat is good, love the dual wield - big areas for Exploration - If you did not explore everything, it definitley might have Replayability - You can construct and mod your light sabre - you visit iconic planets of the universe, the game fits in the Star Wars timeline Cons: Well, thats a strange one. The story is meh, but that's a POV thing. Next, there is no Impearial route and/or "Force Power" alternate route or story, so that's quite linear, okay, that was the story around Cal to begin with. I also get this is not a next Jedi Academy or Dark Forces and you don't play a high end Jedi master but a Padawan. I still hoped for some more RPG and/op SW:KOTOR options or more options to develop. It was a slug later on for me keeping ony playing. The Parcours elements got old fast for me: Run, jump, slide, swing, climb across the same areas over and over and over and here and there reflecting blaster bolts back. Oh and there is a closed door again, so backtrack and jump and swing and wallrun and jump and platform up and down.... yawn. There is so much repitition and boring stretched moments. And that is it, despite many good elements, it all felt like a worse mix of a Star Wars lore game and Tomb Raider and Prince of Persia Plattform and Traveresal experience for me. Some comment was that Jedi Fallen Order looks and plays like an exaggerated toy commercial, and I gotta agree in some way I guess it is still a solid 7 of 10 for me, but I don't get the 9/10 and 10/10 reviews, that is deluded Star Wars fanboy/girl bullshit. Or most reviewers maybe are spamming 10 of 10s because compared to other EA games, this is a masterpiece and pro consumer gem without mtx. But realistically, this is just an above average game. The way Cal and the story develop, it is obvious there will follow a Fallen Order 2 Funnily, that game made me wanna play Star Wars Battlefront 2 again, as this serves my Star Wars Battle and Infantry Combat laser gun pew pew itch.

The more I think about it the more this game would be improved by replacing all the hostile natural aliens with either more imperial alien troopers and droids OR make the animals neutral who won’t attack you because of The Force but also make it so you can use to force to make animals attack imperials. Jedi should be attuned with the force and nature such that all the rats and bats and bugs shouldn’t give a poo poo about you.
