I said come in! posted:Its news to me that Cal gets a blaster this time as a new weapon. Didn't know that was going to be a thing. Yeah, you can give orders to your allies in combat though tbh they're not especially useful. Maybe they come into their own on higher difficulties.

Was hoping this would get me thru until ToTK released. Guess I’ll go with the XBC3 DLC instead and wait until this game is cheaper than 70 bucks and has some patches.

I put about 30 hours into the game and didn't come across anything even resembling a spider so they're not a huge part of the game arachnophobia setting or not. Jose Oquendo posted:Does this impact the ability to get trophies/achievements? The first game had a spider boss to kill for one of them. Also difficulty settings don't seem to lock you out of achievements. After the credits rolled I put it on story mode to test performance and was still getting them.

IIRC, the first game was balanced with Jedi Master(hard) being the base level. I did hear that some YT videos a few weeks ago that you can tweak the overall difficulty, but also just about every part of the combat as well.

Yeah, looks like I was right in thinking that this game would be a challenge for my computer. Hopefully PS5 will be workable, I feel like I'm easy enough on graphics that using performance mode won't bother me.

It sounds like however Jedi Survivor has an issue with its dynamic resolution where it will dip into unplayable graphic fidelity territory, but that should hopefully be fixed.

Unlucky7 posted:So PC and PS5 has problems with the game. Any word on Series X? The only series X review I saw (Xbox era) said that even with VRR performance on that the game would dip below 40fps and be noticeably sluggish in the open areas. Quality mode wasn't enjoyable because it was sharp when stationary then poo poo when moving with loads of blur. Performance mode looks a bit fuzzy. https://xboxera.com/2023/04/26/review-star-wars-jedi-survivor/ "While I didn’t experience many gameplay-effecting bugs I saw a ton of graphical ones. Broken lighting, massive pop-in, slow loading textures, and broken physics were a near constant. Going in and out of the main hub, an area that isn’t large but is full of NPCs, could take 10-15 seconds of barely masked loading, and still, the engine was struggling to catch up as I walked in." E: idk if this is a reliable website it just seems like the only place you get Xbox reviews are from XBOXLIFE, XboxEnjoyer, BigXbox, or similar. EE: it's a UE4 game so yeah, strap yourself in I suppose. It can't be any worse than the first one when it launched right? Hahaha... Ha... Right?

There was an interview a few weeks ago with one of the higher ups on Survivor where they were openly saying that they’re astonished they got such a huge game together so quickly. It’s probably not the engine so much as just not having the time to fix it. UE 3/4 have long had some issues with LoD but this just sounds like this game should’ve come out in the holidays not now.

Asteroid Alert posted:Did you have a choice of platform to review the game on or did they push you to a specific platform? The choice was PS5 or PC, and our outlet got both, though the guy with the PC code didn't get much of a chance to play it. They were very cagey about Xbox codes and I'm morbidly curious about how this runs on Series S.

Well, hopefully my PC is strong enough to overcome the performance issues. 4k/60fps is ideal, but a smooth 1440p/60 is also fine if necessary. It's good to hear the good reviews of the actual game content, though. It's a shame because my PC can run Fallen Order at 4k/120fps, and it didn't look like the graphics were much better in this.
