This game looks.... Good? I'm going to buy it. I can't believe I'm going to buy a star wars game.

Do the Origin Access Premier 1 month on PC, so you only have to pay $15 to play it.

I'll probably just buy it on PS4 and play it on my tv. I'll be playing death stranding so there will at least be a couple of weeks worth of impressions before I buy star war. It seems good at this point though and I'm happy to pay $60 for it or wait for a sale if there are problems.

Yeah people have sparks fly off them, crumple and get knocked over, it's only when it's a special moment that they lose an arm or whatever which seems the same in the game.

Everything I've seen of the combat/exploration gameplay (I can take or leave the wall running stuff) and all the feedback from people that have had a go at the game makes me confident that I'll buy this and enjoy it since I can't resist an above average AAA single player game.

My biggest question:
Will there be alternate outfits and skins a la Arkham Knight? I wanna be decked out in Jedi Robes or look like a Sith or give it a go as Obi-Wan and poo poo. That was one of the fun parts of Jedi Outcast, the modding community really went ham on that one.

You can collect outfits and lightsaber bits in the game.

Disguised with cuts quite a lot. Also I think someone lost a hand once.

When you finish off bosses cinematically they get sliced up like in the movies (like the classic take off their hand and impale them or whatever). It's just not going to let you dismember the mooks for twenty hours.

I hope it will still be enjoyable but I found early videos lacking impact on the fighting sequences.

I thought the more recent videos were pretty heartening on that front, but they've got a bad gamer at the wheel for some reason. It detracts from what I imagine will be graceful duelling since I am a video game expert.

JK2 with the dismemberment cheat and maxed force powers on was really fuckin fun, I spent hours chopping up stormtroopers in bullet-time and running on walls and stuff.

Also wtf didn't lightsabers in the movies always cut through stuff? like, droids, Sith, giant steel doors, they cut fuckin everything :shrug:

There are things that resist the blade and it seems to shorten in length or some poo poo. It's not an all penetrator... And I know a thing or two about all penetrators.

Gameplay trailer looked really bad. It's a PG rated light-saber game. Ok. So if they knew they couldn't portray the lightsabers correctly, they should have went all in on force powers and made them really devastating and central to the gameplay . This is 2019, modern hardware can do really cool effects and physical simulations in the game world. All the force stuff so far looked like pretty boring rehashed stuff from previous games. Doing some physical puzzles once in a while is not enough. Hopefully things not shown are a lot better and they have some larger battles in the game too, although the last gen console limitation might mean it's always waves of 3-4 opponents vs you and that's it. Would have been cool to see some larger engagements with lots of NPCs on your side as well.

Source your quotes please.

I'm actually pumped for this. I trust this developer a lot and I think they'll deliver on a fun game. I'll probably finish Death Stranding some time next week and pick this up then. I'm keen to see some reviews on the combat. I can safely bet it'll look great and the level design will be top notch but I really want the combat flow with parrying to be spot on. I hope they learned a bit from Sekiro's combat and it handles similarly since Sekiro is maybe my favourite game this year. Don't need it to be so difficult, just have a similar level of smooth gamefeel.

It's a Respawn game, there's no bullshit games as service going on, and the pre-release buzz is positive.

It'll be surprising if it's bad.

It's definitely going to be a good game that's fun to play and expertly wrought, but not groundbreaking or anything.

This game needs to be out back in the oven, it's not done. I'm clipping through poo poo all the time, it's not pretty to look at and the animations are way below what I expected. It doesn't seem very good! Feels like I'm playing an old game.

It's the way it renders the cutscenes, my system is clean and has no issues with other games. I'm doing the first side boss and the load times are excruciating for this kind of game haha

Game is gorgeous on max settings PC at least!

It plays well, and I personally enjoy the faster combat to Dark Souls, but it's also giving me a hankerin' to try Sekiro now since the enemies aren't quite as diverse or interesting as in Dark Souls.

Sekiro's combat is wonderful.
