^^^ Ray Park was Toad, so he's cool by me.TwoSheds posted:You're not missing anything, and I loved the first one. The gameplay is unchanged for the most part, and even improved in some areas, but the story is uninspired and the game as a whole is inexcusably short. I just played a couple of hours, and you're right about the gameplay. It's basically exactly the same except for Mind Trick, which is consistently hilarious. I just love running into mobs of Stormtroopers and creating a little Imperial Mosh Pit  The plot's just kind of...boring, though. It's not even entertainingly bad, like the first one, it's just very blah. I did like how Yoda seems incredibly uncomfortable to even be in the cutscenes, though.

Goddamn, TFU2 is a short game. I guess they tried to make up for it by making the final boss the most drawn-out, tedious thing I've ever done in a video game. And I played WoW, for fucks sake. That end boss was seriously so boring I don't even know if I want to go back and get the Dark Side ending. And yeah, it ends on a cliffhanger that will never get resolved because TFU3 got canceled. What's the familiar feeling? That...cloying sense of disappointment? I guess this is Star Wars after all

Tensokuu posted:So I'd like to give the unpopular opinion here: I really enjoyed Force Unleashed 2. It was shorter than it really should have been, and the Vader fight was obnoxiously long, but I had a lot of fun with it. Sure they didn't resolve anything - and it was really tiring hearing Starkiller yell "Juno!" the entire freaking game - but I'd say it was about what I was expecting. gently caress those god drat droids with shields though. As the thread's resident TFU fanboy (have I mentioned lately how much Rahm Kota owns? Cuz he does), I can see you point, but I was mostly disappointed by how they managed to fix none of the flaws of the first game. As much as I love the first game, it had a ton of problems, and they are all still present in the sequel. Saber combat was boring in the first one, so they took out nearly all the combos and reduce it to just hitting the X button until the baddies die. Enemies who were immune to your powers were always annoying, so they decided to put them in nearly every level! The boss fights were the most tedious part of The Force Unleashed, so what do they do? Give the bosses buckets more health and irritatingly repetitive attack patterns! The floaty jumping make platforming unreliable in the first game, so here's an idea: let's make the ENTIRE FINAL BOSS a platforming section! Plus, it was short as hell. I guess it's nice to hear the Dark Side ending was better than the lovely Light Side one, but there's no way in gently caress I'm playing through that Vader fight again. But it's still not the worst Star Wars game I ever played, so that's something.

He sounds like he has some kind of weird speech impediment where he pronounces "er" sounds like "ew," Like that one part where you're aboard The Salvation: "Clear the deck, Starkillew!" Rahm owns because in the first game, when Starkiller questions pulling a goddamn Star Destroyer out of orbit, he basically calls you a pussy and tells you to just loving do it. He's also the only Jedi I've ever seen fight off Stormtroopers while stumbling around drunk and blind.

I was going through a nostalgia kick, so I decided to listen to a bunch of old Weird Al songs. So, the song "YODA" comes on, and I get to the lyrics "I asked him his name, and in a raspy voice he said 'Yoda'", and I started sperging the gently caress out because that's not the way it happened and Yoda was completely evasive with Luke and a total dick, and then I realized what I was doing and wanted to die. And I blame all of you.

SkunkDuster posted:Obi Wan says that Tusken Raiders walk in single file to hide their numbers. Hide their numbers from who? Seems like Krayt dragons are the only thing that scares them. The fact that even Obi Wan didn't want to be around when they came back implies that they aren't to be taken lightly, and they life in lovely huts with nothing worth stealing, so who are they hiding from? Well, a few years back, some blonde kid came through and massacred a whole village in the night, so the Tuskens have been sort of jumpy ever since. Or, there could be warring tribes of Tusken Raiders and they're hiding from each other.

Kill Whitey posted:Did Salacious Crumb die when Jabba's party skiff exploded? No, Salacious actually escaped to Coruscant, where he built up a criminal empire by gathering up the remnants of Xizor's followers. Palpatine took an interest in Salacious, sensing his powerful force abilities and hunger for power. Salacious Crumb became the Emperor's Other Hand, and fought an army of Starkiller clones in an ice cave on Hoth. Salacious was victorious, but gravely wounded and disfigured. He underwent extensive reconstructive surgery, rendering him unrecognizable. As such, he was no longer Salacious Crumb, and took on a new name. That name was Thrawn. (where's my money, Lucasbooks?)

Did he think Anakin was dead or are they still going with the book's weak "Don't kill an unarmed enemy, not the Jedi way, etc."? Obi-wan had to listen to Anakin blather on about sand and Padme for like 10+ years. It was just very cathartic for him, okay?

For me, the biggest problem with the Yoda fight in Ep. 2 is just that there's absolutely no tension. We know nothing happens to Yoda, Obi-Wan or Anakin, because this is a prequel. Dooku is an mortal danger, but it doesn't matter because we just met this dude like ten minutes ago. He's barely a step up from Maul at this point, and we know basically nothing about his character and motivations beyond "Is Christopher Lee" and "Is evil". So, we basically have a completely pointless fight that we already know the outcome to. On top of that, Yoda's flipping around like a jack-rear end while Christopher Lee desperately trying to look like he's fighting some CGI thing that isn't there. Also, Dooku runs off twirling his mustache while Yoda struggles to lift a rock. A big rock, granted, but come on. He's supposed to be the most powerful Jedi ever at this point. Is it that hard to write an end to the fight where Dooku loses but escapes?

I've been thinking about this, and there is absolutely no way in gently caress Darth Maul could possibly be alive. Even in that crazy Infinities story where he got robots legs, everyone seems to overlook the fact that being cut in half wasn't the only fatal thing to happen to him. Even if being loving bisected didn't kill him instantly, he fell down a crazy huge pit. Even if the lightsaber cauterized the wound or he used some Force BS to hold his guts in, he's hitting the ground at terminal velocity. I mean, if Palps somehow immediately got a hold of him, maybe he'd be able to slap on some robo-legs. But even if Spliffy P himself was waiting at the bottom of that unexplained pit, Maul gonna hit the ground, and he's gonna hit the ground loving hard. Like a water balloon filled with spaghetti sauce. Even a full robo-ification like Grievous wouldn't help, because you wouldn't be able to transfer his brain into anything without a loving mop. Remember how Greedo was shot and burned to a crisp? He'd be easier to revive than Maul. I don't care if you have loving Dr. House and the team that built the 6 Million Dollar Man, there ain't poo poo you can do when a guy is just two puddles of meat.

Sure, you can use the Force to land crazy jumps and drops, but even if Maul had the mental capacity to do anything other than pass out from shock, he doesn't have any feet to land on. And he cracked his head on the side of the pit on the way down! Unless the dude landed in a Force powered super handstand, and Palps had a team of expert medical professions just waiting at the bottom of that hole for the whole fight, Maul is dead in at least three different ways. Edit: Doc Hawkins posted:There's your first mistake. That's a good point, though.

No, seriously, you guys, bringing back Darth Maul is completely retarded! There is no conceivable way Maul can add anything to the story arc as things are now, and he can't even have his own character arc because he is not a character!

According to Wookiepedia, Troy Denning created the hairless rape bears for the Star Wars Roleplaying game in 89. So thanks, Troy. Edit: They apparently also appear in one of Allston's Wraith Squadron books. Which is weird, because I don't remember anyone making GBS threads themselves in terror in Solo Command.
