I got stuck for a while at a point mid-game that required swimming, it had just been so long since I got introduced to the mechanic early on that I forgot it was a thing. It feels very sparsely incorporated into the main questline at least, which is a shame because the mechanics feel pretty reasonable for this kind of game.

it's also good to know because basically every swimmable pool of water has at least one chest in it if you dive down I'm glad I didn't get the BD-1 upgrades that show them on the map until post-game, that poo poo would've driven me insane if I'd realized how many I was missing even feeling like I was being thorough

It took me a while to notice that Turgle carries a gun. I hope it's, like, a prop someone gave him otherwise I'm worried he'll put an eye out.

ZeeBoi posted:There are upgrades that show all the collectibles on the map. That’s something I will get to mop up the collectibles I missed after finishing the story. I usually manage to get like ~80-90% of them in a given area during my regular playthroughs, the ones I miss were mostly due to not having a particular skill Yeah, I'm doing some mop up right now and finding things I never would have found on my own. The exploration itself is rewarding, I think, but it's important to realize when it's time to get back to the main story.

It's too late now since I got them all, but they should make the plants w/seeds stand out more. They give off a little glowy seed thing but you have to be close to notice. If you're zipping around the map you're not going to notice them all. When I went back to get all the collectibles on Koboh, I managed to get most of everything else just by exploring. I barely managed to find any seeds on my own just because I didn't see them.

Huh. Turgle is played by the same guy who played Alpha 5 in Power Rangers. I thought he sounded familiar. Also Moxxie in Helluva Boss for a more recent reference.

Did the game start crashing constantly for anyone else the last few days? I did the sequence where you get the koboh particle emitter 3 times before I decided the game is just unplayable. Sucks because I was having no other issues.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the EA App cleared up my repetitive crashes, but if it's a console thing, guessing that's not in the cards

Yeah at least Cal managed to hang onto his rebreather. Although he could swim on the surface before that. Also why isn’t there a Jedi breath holding power??

Man, gently caress that force tear in the smuggler’s tunnels. Just give me waves of enemies to fight, not this unforgiving zipline bullshit.

Is it one of the traversal ones? I found just one so far behind a waterfall near town and it was super easy. Involves sliding, jumping and a force field that switches sides of the screen for each jump.

I hope every boss fight in the sequel is like Rayvis or Vader, those rocked. The rest was meh all around. Honorary mention goes to Rick the Door Technician.

I did get it eventually.

I’ve seen footage of some of them that look like 3D Celeste; I just thought since it was near start it wouldn’t be elaborate, but I don’t have the green force field mcguffin yet so I guess it’s probably more difficult

Jose Oquendo posted:Did you play the first game? It has a whole area where it's required. There's also at least one part of the critical path in Survivor that requires it as well. I did but it's been a long time. The part I'm talking about in Survivor is probably the part you're talking about, since it was part of a main quest (and is why I got stuck, since it was the only way to progress forward and was the first time up until that point where I had encountered swimming in the game).

lmao and Merrin telling Zee she must make Greez fear her for him to tell the truth about Cal’s exploits. And telling her they should put a curse on Greez, make him suffer. Merrin’s dry humour is delightful.

It's really funny how when Merrin is first introduced, she's just a spooky angry witch without much personality to speak of, but the moment she starts talking to Cal instead of yelling at him, she displays that excellent dry humour. I think a big part of why it's great is that the VA delivery is flawless.

The voice work in this game is above and beyond even the best animated works. I guess it helps that they did a lot of it in mocap, but even then there’s times where I forget that it’s all animated. The acting is just really top notch.

The whole game, really. One of your better pieces of SW media out there, imo. I finished it last night and I'm starting a completionist playthrough today, I'm starting to actually get the lightsaber combat now and it's super fun.
