ASK ME ABOUT STICKING WITH A YEARS-LONG LETS PLAY OF THE MOST COMPLICATED SPACE SIMULATION GAME INVENTED, PLAYING BOTH SIDES, AND SPENDING HOURS GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND TO ENSURE INTERNET STRANGERS ENJOY THEMSELVES
I do question how much "fan backlash" there can be when the thing isn't even released to the public yet.

I got mine free from AMD with my recent CPU so not really relevant to me, I'll be diving in as soon as AMD sends me my code.

Edit: But then I looked at the Steam Discussions for the game and a bunch of people who haven't played the game yet are real mad about it so I guess it's a thing.

I've broken my controller, even though I haven't played the game yet. I sat there imagining playing the game...and then I imagined the framerate being bad and tossed my controller out of the window in a rage.

PC Gamer reckon the launch patch helps PC performance quite a bit but it's still not great.

Performance anecdote, I'm about an hour in, and it's running okay with everything at High settings on my four-year-old computer. i5-8400 with a GTX 1070 Ti. Not a perfect 60 fps, but I'm not the kinda person bothered by a dropped frame here or there.

Game fun so far. Intro spoiler: Cal's red-shirt yellow-shirt crew are some of the most obviously dead people I've ever seen in video games.

Out of 556 reviews on Steam, Jedi Survivor has 443 reviews that do not recommend the game lol.

I don't understand. Are people trying to run it on max settings with a toaster?

It definitely needs optimization work, but it's hardly non-functional.

Yeah it's impossible to know. The reviews and feedback rely on people making them to do so in good faith and be honest. Most people know absolutely nothing about their PCs.

Did they bring back the ability to set things to Low by hitting the Backspace (or was it Escape?) key after clicking on (so it's highlighted) the button that cycles through Medium/High/Ultra/Custom at the top of the individual visual settings?

On relatively high settings with a rather high end processor/nVidia 3090 Ti, only really saw major slowdowns on loading the game, actual play was just as good as the original game here. Guessing launch day patch helped a bunch there for me at least. Though for some reason achievements don't seem to be popping up in Steam right now.

At least they put in enough effort to make me kind of sad they got killed, part of me was hoping they might just get separated/go back to Saw Gerrara but the second the twins ran up against the Ninth Sister it was pretty obvious they were all gonna die. I'm actually kind of glad how Kal finished off the Sister though, felt very much like a Jedi should to me for him to acknowledge her real name and that she was a victim herself.

Anybody know how to adjust key bindings for dodge for keyboard? Tab is a very obnoxious key to try to hit in combat, but can't find the option in controls to adjust it.

Man I don't know how they managed to get constant tearing on the ps5 version lol. It runs poo poo compared to similar games but it's fine I guess. It looks so much better than the flat flavourless poo poo served up last time, but the combat so far is just as sloppy as last time.
