Some time ago I bought Warhammer Inquisitor - Martyr but refunded it. Decided to grab it on sale to see if it was as slow and boring as I remember after playing D4 the other weekend, which was also very slow. And it certainly is, but man all of the passive perk trees seem criminally boring. Just minute percent increases here and there. Are your skills purely driven by your equipment? It really just feels like a terrible sandbox for "building a character".

Agent Escalus posted:Really? What about it didn't click for you? The lack of heft in the saber? You didn't get a kick out of deflecting blaster bolts in and of themselves, or in the middle of a combo? Yeah it just felt really floaty and slow and the enemies weren't aggressive enough. Like I was doing things that looked cool but it didn't feel cool to do them. It just felt like I was engaging with a serviceable action game with a budget. I also think it's kind of lame to have a lightsaber that just acts like you're whacking people with a stick until you do a finisher, but that's a larger challenge in general when it comes to balancing them.

Made the SP parts trivial (and why wouldn't they be) but the endless arena modes were incredibly satisfying (until you yourself got outnumbered and dismembered).

I think the new Jedi Survivor game has dismemberment as well iirc.

Probably not going to see screaming bisected stormtroopers flipping through the air streaming blood and guts out of their torso in a Star Wars game, is my guess.

To be fair, even the old JK/O games just had people with cauterized bits flying off, they weren’t terribly gory. But yeah, unlikely.

In the trailers for Jedi game there’s been a few stormtrooper hands and feet coming off but that’s it. If only Visceral could have made a lightsaber-adjacent game.

Orv posted:Just for the prequel droids from what they’ve said, though there might be more limited stuff on the stormtroopers. They show a beast get its arm cut off in the preview footage (and keep fighting) so it seems like they'll at least have some canned dismemberment on a variety of enemies.

It's not like it's consistent across media, they cut off limbs all the time but you see some Jedi going ham through a group of dudes with body slashes and they just do the old *ya got me* instead of being in half. How do you even stab someone with a lightsaber without them sliding down on it and coming out the top of their head, as should've happened to Han Solo

The first game had cauterized dismemberment for at least some of the monsters, but none of the humanoid enemies.

I saw this stated in an article on the new features in Jedi Survivor: "A new features also includes the ability dismember enemies - not just droids but Stormtroopers and other humanoid attackers as well." So we'll see how far that goes. I doubt it'll be gory or anything like that, but it might make the lightsabre feel more "damaging". Edit: linking the article here, as it talks about other new features: https://www.ign.com/wikis/star-wars-jedi-survivor/New_Features_and_Differences

It’s always seemed funny to me that armor exists in Star Wars anyway when blasters are clearly plot powered. A Stormtrooper getting clapped in the armored shoulder is fatal but protagonists can survive being laser gutshot for hours.

the only bad thing about Rollerdrome is that the levels are locked behind completing challenges, so you gotta replay the same 4 levels doing specific things to get to the next 4 levels.

i mentioned a Pushmo clone last month which came out this past week... turns out the final level is a portrait of Donald Trump  you had one job, and you blew it bummed by this because there has not been a Pushmo clone to my knowledge until now and the series has been abandoned by Nintendo/IntSys since Stretchmo in 2015 (8 years ago...)
