haldolium posted:Nah, sorry but both Raven games where fantastic and aged appropriately slow. i mean you could butcher all of oota gunga and children in the phantom menace game too. i mean i agree, there should be more dismemberment in star wars game but as along as they have some good burn cuts/marks with light saber strikes, i'll be ok with it. https://www.reddit.com/r/FallenOrde...tm_source=share anyway some dude on reddit got it early, says the combat is very serkerio and awesome.

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. respawn makes amazing stuff and titanfall 1 and more so 2 are fantastic games.

Rascyc posted:Yeah, about what I expected. Hold a button to perma block, flick a button to parry that staggers weaker enemies, roll for everything else. Spam attacks and if weak mook is blocking it works their stamina bar down into a typical death blow Nice to see the force powers got mapped to a lot of buttons though. graphics looks pretty good. its more the video quality kinda sucks.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:No offense but you said earlier in the thread that Titanfall 2 failed because the multiplayer was too much like Call of Duty. You seem to have sort of a tin ear about Respawn, a company that literally told EA that they were going to release a game without marketing as an experiment and EA agreed. They absolutely have some leeway. lol they said what. like i am a weird hipster who likes the multiplayer in TF1 more but TF2 is still loving amazing and nothing like COD. respawn is one of the best devs out there, that goon is a fool.

Mordja posted:Yeah, I have a feeling that--for now, at least--Respawn negotiated out a deal that gave them something of a carte blanche, and Apex's success would have only solidified that. I mean, on a very fundamental level is the fact that none of their games are on Frostbite. And EA pretty much mandated that all of its devs use Frostbite a few years back, no matter how unfit and engine it is for the type of game being made. Meanwhile, Respawn alone just kept using Source and now UE4, so they're definitely a special case. part of me thinks its because they keep makeing winners, so EA is fine letting them do whatever. EA is poo poo but looks at how bad Bioware has become. A ton of that is EA's fault, but Bioware got high off their own farts and now believ in bioware magic or whatever and the last 2 games have been poo poo.

i like it alot so far. my biggest issue is some of the soul elemements don't mesh well with the metroidvania stuff. i was kinda hoping for more dynamic enviromental changes as the story progressd but the enemy respawn system keeps that from happening. i kinda with the combat/healing stayed souls like but everything else was more arkhamy or whatever. also where are the imperial officers?

Bust Rodd posted:The more I think about it the more this game would be improved by replacing all the hostile natural aliens with either more imperial alien troopers and droids OR make the animals neutral who won’t attack you because of The Force but also make it so you can use to force to make animals attack imperials. Jedi should be attuned with the force and nature such that all the rats and bats and bugs shouldn’t give a poo poo about you. it would be improved if the world "changed" to your actions and dark souls enemy layout/spawn systems don't work as well with a pretty "linear" story game. because nothing changes. you will always see those two rat monsters trying to eat the troopers body and all the troopers will be in the same place. it never feels alive. just do what the new asscreeds do and keep the combat soulish but keep everything else normal

Captain Hygiene posted:Don't you get red ones by torturing the crystal or something? yeah. basicaly sith being sith are about bending the krystal to their will and basicaly torture it. so yes. anyway. i beat it and i liked it alot overall. the plot is simplistic but the Gotham dude and Debra Wilson sell it pretty well. my big issue is the first and last 3rd of the game are intense and cool but the middle just kinda exists and alot of it feels like bad souls filler. much like TF2, when the game is semi on rails its loving cool and awesome and it feels like your in a star wars movie. when vader shows up, its appropriately "oh poo poo" run for it. i do also like that how loving stupidly awful the empire is in small ways.

I think it's probably more that they had to get the game finished, so maybe one day. i could see them possibly being able to pull it off. the big issue i have is the game doesn't seem to encourage that much replayibility. outside cosmetic poo poo, your not missing anything and plus the baddies respawn in the same way every time so its not variety.

Pierson posted:I adore TF2, it's the best. yeah. i feel like it needed more uncharted set piece moments. the story is very uncharted in the way its told but the levels are very souls like and those to rub against each other oddly. the final was cool but than it kinda just ends. like the ending is fine but compared to tf2 and its very cod/uncharted level direction would work better here.

OhFunny posted:Yeah. It's much more depressing in the new canon since the clones are actual individuals instead of unthinking automatons. Which means once Order 66 is complete a lot of clones are traumatized by being forced to murder Jedi who were their friends against their will. this too. than they basically all get replaced by recruits and dumb kids and conscripts who are even more indoctrinated because they are basicaly trained since preteens in academy.

We spend a lot of time with Vader in the movies so we assume hes well known but the vast majority of people havent even heard of him. vader espcially in the early years of the empire in new canon is kinda of a boogieman to the galaxy, no one knows who or what he is and not many people survive long enough to know about him, eventually, he kinda becomes sheeves hatchet man and "fixes" problems.
