Looks kinda boring tbh. Was really hoping for some RPG style experience, or something different. This seems more like the conventional Action Game Structure off just "play some linear missions, watch cut scenes". That can be ok I guess and I might play it eventually, but honestly it doesn't get me very excited and there is probably zero chance I get this anywhere near release. Maybe I missed some new info or something cause people calling it nonlinear now? Idk, if it's just "you can go back and move a boulder now" I don't really consider that a meaningful upgrade. Strictly speaking, the linearity isn't really the key issue, it just seems like the kind of the game that is "go stab some people, then sit back and be presented with story" which I'm not really about.

Honestly the biggest thing this game has going for it is "it's a Star Wars game that's not Battlefront and exists." Seems pretty mediocre but with EA's complete mismanagement of the license people are starved for any kind of content. If it weren't the fact that the only Star Wars games in ten years (on a real system) have been "Battlefront, then Battlefront again" I don't think this would have any steam. Hell it barely seems to have any steam regardless.

Rad Valtar posted:Have you watched anyone talking about the gameplay because some of the videos I watched talked about a pretty big spiderweb like skill tree and it being a much bigger world with lots of collectibles and secrets. Everyone who I have watched who got to play it recently talked about how it’s a much different and more in depth game then was initially shown. I watched the whole 30 minute gameplay thing from a while back, and I thought that seemed pretty lackluster all around. Maybe it's improved? But tbh it's never been my experience that a game does a whole big turnaround like that, not this late in the process. People can say whatever they want from behind the scenes, the proof is in the pudding, and the video we've scene was a real yawner. The main problem was that it just... looked kinda... boring to play. Somewhere around the time the guy was slowly whitting down the fourth giant spider I was thinking "yeah, this does not look engaging at all". Flinging stormtroopers around is alright, but we've seen that game before. It's cool and fun to play with force push/pull/flop/whatev for about 15 minutes and then the novelty wears off. All the skill trees, collectables, and secrets in the world won't change that. You get away with mediocre action in a game like KOTOR or something that's narrative driven and offers a more immersive roleplaying experience. But this is an action game. If the moment to moment gameplay isn't engaging, the game ain't gonna be good. I'm not trying to hate real hard on an unreleased game. Maybe it will be good. But the only substantial gameplay vid that we've seen was pretty underwhelming, and I don't put much stock in hype men trying to convince us that it's totally gonna be such a different experience when it comes out. Forget the thing your eyes saw, listen to us youtube hypers and literally Respawn employees using words to describe all the awesome stuff you're gonna do! If I missed some new, substantial gameplay video then let me know. The thing earlier itt just seemed to be some guy talking over the old footage.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I'm calling it now: the game is going to be really really good, and the reason you're not hearing a lot about it hype-wise is because Respawn's last game, Apex Legends, was surprise-released with zero marketing and made almost 200 million dollars in the first 3 months. I think that corporate is honestly trying to figure out how much of their huge 50m marketing budgets actually matter. It didn't have zero marketing. It had zero traditional marketing. lol they straight up paid a famous streamer a million dollars to play it for a solid day at release. That's marketing. And I'm sure it was not the only thing they did.

It's typical for games that are not good. e: I didn't know it was under embargo. That's... not a definitive indictment, but not a great sign.

Guys I didn't want to do this, but I just couldn't hold it in longer! I'm breaking the review embargo on Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order. Here is my review. quote:I just played Jedi Fallen Order and the game was so enjoyable! I've always loved Star Wars so I'm really looking forward to the new release! I don't want to go in depth about the game and how it's different from any other lightsaber combat game, but I can say the controls are really good! I like the fact that I don't have to be a genius at controls just to get good! I also like that the game is fun and doesn't make me think too much when I play! The game features three characters each with their own moves and abilities!

Haven't bought the game but watched some streaming. Seems pretty decent. I'd say anyone saying BEST STAR WARS GAME ever is just being sensational over a new release, but it definitely seems worth a play. I'll probably pick it up later when it's on sale or if I get really bored.

Bust Rodd posted:So like in the LORE the different crystals you use for your saber reflect your relationship with the force. Like Purple and Red reflect that you use the force to improve your physical discipline, Blue is about using the force to balance, green is about healing and growth, etc, so having the different colors modify your force powers would make more sense than modifying the saber combat. Huh? Red means you're evil, other colors mean you're good, and purple means you're Samuel L. Jackson.
