Polis masa is where Padame dies, IIRC Also this bunnyofdoom posted:EDIT: No comment on the conference room? For shame. Box droid is a gonk droid. One of the funniest parts of A New Hope is when a guy starts mocking another coworker's religious beliefs until he's nearly choked to death mid-meeting, and no one seems to mind all that much

Like if a kid started crying in a restaurant.

Like if a kid started crying in a restaurant. One of the most fun parts of the later movies is that it puts ANH at a point where the Empire and thus the destruction of the Jedi was at most 20 years ago. I bet every other guy in that room had personally worked with Jedi in the past and was entirely aware of how exaggerated the stories of their abilities weren't. There's mocking a co-worker's religious beliefs, and then there's being a goddamn anti-vaxxer to Jonas Salk. If Jonas Salk were also a top enforcer of a vicious autocracy and the deadliest duellist in the entire galaxy.

I dunno- I think it all depends on how common Force-users were, and from that, how common Jedi were among the populace. It does stand to reason that in a galaxy of countless trillions and with a Jedi population of a few thousand at most, not many people would've experienced a Jedi's abilities in the flesh, especially if they were somehow insulated. That being said, while this makes sense for Han Solo, it doesn't explain how an Imperial officer who had been chosen to work on the Death Star would've been so dismissive.

I think the movies' presentation suffers from the general Star Wars problem of "Force users are incredibly rare and special. But almost every single story in the setting revolves around Force users."

The imperial officer can be explained by the fact his workplace had a culture hostile to force users thanks to Tarkin.

Campaign, Part 13, featuring Polis Massa - Birth of the Rebellion. On an unrelated note, I'll be streaming games every day for a few weeks, this week being dedicated to Shadow of Mordor. No Star Wars games are included in the poll for next week's game but that can be changed for the week after if anyone has a good suggestion.

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:They were in Empire at War. Fun fact: I thought Empire at War was Star Wars Battlefront 2. At first I was confused as to why they'd made Battlefront an RTS, but the trailer looked amazing on the Episode 3 DVD. Turns out I was highlighting the wrong one all along and didn't realise it until Battlefront 2 turned out to be a third person shooter!

This was the one level in the campaign that I had to use cheats on. No matter what I did, I could not get Darth Vader out long enough to beat the stage. I basically input a cheat to give full health forever.

It sounds like an odd thing to praise this game for, but one of the things that made Battlefront 2 so memorable to me was the story. It's a simple and effective narrative framing device, and the voice actor does a wonderful job of sounding so tired and done with this poo poo. Also an element of tragedy, too, you know full well he's most likely one of the many nameless, faceless stormtroopers who died in the movies or was on board some ship or station the Rebels blew up.

I think I'd disagree. Our narrator has clearly been through a lot. Years and Years of the clone wars, plus the rise and fall of the Empire. As the empire drew on, it seems the lasting Clones started to lose their designated loyalty somewhat. I feel like he either survived to the end of the Empire and went off on his own, or maybe stuck around to become a part of the First Order. I highly doubt he died in any attacks.

They're fully aware they have infinite numbers while you don't, and so abuse grenades and the like. Once Vader's out there, you have proper unlimited crowd damage.

Yup, Temuera Morrison is bloody brilliant as a narrator. I'd love for him to do some audiobooks. Anthony Daniels, C3PO himself, has read the Thrawn Trilogy and was superb.

We should pick a faction that we haven't played so far, so that means either droids or rebels. However we've also played the baddies throughout this campaign and I'm not a fan of the prequels, so Rebel Alliance is the choice for me

Campaign, Finale Featuring Hoth - Our Finest Hour. And so ends the first leg of Battlefront 2 the original: a campaign of limited scope that did a serviceable job of introducing players to the game. A notable fact that I've just realised is that it never forces you into any gimmicky nonsense nor any forced vehicle segments, that blows my mind nowadays. Right now it appears the Rebel Alliance is ahead for Galactic Conquest, I'll begin recording for that next week so if people want Droids more, now's the time to speak up. Regular uploads will continue with some of the tertiary gameplay modes only accessible via Instant Action.

My personal little idea for the context of the narrator telling the story is that he's the old man of the 501st, the last original clone trooper telling stories to the new recruits/clones as they're shipped out to Endor where he and all the remnants of Vader's Fist die along with their leader.

That back section of the map is also open on the Wampa hunt mode, which is incidentally an incredibly fun time.

Speaking of Hunt mode, I've recorded that and all of the other incidental fun Instant Action modes, would you like to either: A: See all Hunt modes in one video (40 Minutes) or B: See each Hunt separately They're all at most 10 minutes per Hunt map and there are 6 of them, some of them (Geonosis and Kashyyyk) are are really fast. Also, would you like to see Battlefront 1 content (New) now or in between Galactic Conquests? If you're at all interested in playing Battlefront 1 (New) on PC, grab Origin Access. It's a brilliant deal for the full experience, at £20 for one year's access to that game and many others soon including Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1 (new). That's how I'm playing it.

I'd prefer sporadically because it's a repetitive game mode. Also, I'd hope to see the CIS in conquest, the Droideka is one of the few completely unique classes in the game

Like IronSaber, I've been cranking up my volume during the intros and outros to hear the narrator before returning them to normal for your speaking.
