no, dont think about why chests that u opened during your vision are already opened during the real version, just go with it padawan

Clearly you just gloss over doing that since its boring busy work.

Huh there was a patch on PC just now, wonder what it did

e:

Fixed a texture flickering issue that would display on the screen while driving the AT-AT on Kashyyyk
Fixed an issue where the input from the arrow keys would sometimes fail to respond within menus.
Fixed an issue where Dynamic resolution settings would not save properly.
Fixed an issue where the game could become slow and loading times longer than expected.

He's joking as he had a lot of glitches on launch day which no one else was having so people said he needed to clean out his dusty PS4. But cleaning your PC/Console is usually a good thing to do to keep up performance.

I had that AT-AT texture issue. The ship at the end had a couple of black sunbeams shining past it.

The game is super buggy and underdone. Nothing has changed since launch day. A lot of reviews mention all of this then just excuse it because it's single player star wars 9/10

TBF the game has had a little bit of rare hitching when exploring and some texture pop-in for me. But only a little bit. Doesn't ruin the experience or anything like that.

I am at the point where you backtrack from Kashyyk to the first planet, probably 4-5 hours in, and I haven't noticed a single problem on PC.

The PS4 Pro performance is a bit sloppy on 4K, light flickering, texture pop in, blurry unloaded textures, loading pauses, but it's all just minor stuff. I would love to see a performance patch on PS4 because the video of the Xbox One versions looks way better. Game is really fun though, only had one issue with a respawn staying on a black screen for like a minute.

The game is fun but the PS4 version does suffer a bit from UE and I think more importantly that the last two years have been action game heaven. It makes Fallen Order feel that little bit extra average. If they make another one I'm sure they can knock it out of the park because Respawn are very good, I just hope they get more time since this game is pretty ragged in a few areas. Notably the critter enemies, bland loot, uncharted/tomb raider elements that just don't feel that good and sloppy combat. If you compare this to the king of just blatantly stealing poo poo from other games, God of War 2018, there's a fair bit they might want to consider on another go round. I don't think they'd have lost anything by doing a more linear "you need a blue key to progress to a new planet" because of the lack of fast travel and world tree style hub system. I played the game in a linear fashion except for returning to the vault world to grab some extra stims.

His review was on point but I don't think begging EA for another game means you should say this is anywhere near the quality of Spider-Man, gow, Sekiro and DMC5. (Not referring to Sterling specifically here, but the general scoring of the game)

I went back and did that optional zone on Zeffo. The lore chunks were ok (even though they just explain what you can gather from looking at the environment) but the reward as with everything else is just raincoats and paintjobs. Not even an optional boss fight at the end with a force ghost or some other crazy poo poo to make you think "wow I'm glad I went and explored that area".

After the second trip to Wookiee planet I have to wonder, why don’t games just make the “sprint” swim speed the default or at least make the regular speed not so loving slow. They have to know people are always going to be boosting right?

So far my only complaint gameplay wise is how long it takes between you asking BD-1 to throw you a stim and when he actually forks one over.

Maybe so you don’t boost past the underwater crates? Other than that, bad design.

All my friends got me for my birthday was this stupid custom title. Fuck my friends.
I'd rather swim fast all the time with a button to slow down for accuracy, than swim slow all the time having to repeatedly hit a button to speed up.

Or just make it a toggle between fast and slow.

I just went to the spooky planet as a detour before Kashyyk and :psyduck:

I found a bench and figured "oh hey, an opportunity to check out my new styles/colours", turns out that this bench is where I arbritrarily fix my lightsaber to be a double saber? Not a single word of dialogue or anything, just suddenly boom I have a double bladed lightsaber.

Yeah I definitely expected there to be more buildup to that. It was jarring how there was zero fanfare.

You're definitely supposed to get it on a return trip to Bogana. Cal mentions finding the dude's old lightsaber and attaching it to his in memory of him.

Apparently there IS a cutscene for the DBL but only if you specifically go back to Brogan immediately after Zeffo. It gives you the option to go to Dathomir but you can only get 1/3 of the way through it at that point. It’s extremely sloppy.

I'm having no luck getting this thing running smoothly on pc. The game stutters on all of the areas loading in and out as I run around so it's 60fps in a small area then big framerate dips anytime I'm running around. It's especially funny on any of the sliding bits because the animation is so herky jerky. The Giant Bomb quicklook on a ps4 pro had the same issue but it didn't seem quite as bad as mine on pc.

I'm still having this issue as well, none of the common fixes have helped. It seems like the patch may have made it worse because since the update, the game has also completely hard-locked my PC one of the times I was transitioning into a new area.

I really want to like this game but it's pretty loving annoying every time I die during a platforming section because the game just stops for 15-30 seconds to load in new assets mid-jump/wallrun/etc

That's crazy, I just hit that point in Wookieeville and it was just like, huh...there it is. I feel like I'm always the game's suggestion of where I ought to be headed, and it took me right there.

So you have to finish Bogano 1, go immediately to Zeffo, go back to Bogano, ????, go to Dathomir?

When I went to the navigation after my trip through Zeffo, Cere piped up and said "you know cordova hid a bunch of supplies and poo poo on Bogano, we should really take a trip back there" basically

There's two workbenches where you can get the DBL, the one on Bogano has the cutscene

Maybe she did and I lost it in the shuffle, I was usually doing a few things between conversations and heading to the next planet so I followed whatever main quest marker showed up on the holomap. Oh well.

I had already opened it without traversing that area. I only had six stims when I finished the game anyway so even if I'd opened that one post game I'd have been like :toot:

I've got no idea when or how I'd opened that box but it was already open when I got out to the cliff after collecting my incredible bounty of three paint jobs.
