I’m getting it. Reminds me a lot of the Force Unleashed and I absolutely loved the first one. Second obviously had issues due to the company being shut down while nearing the end of production.

There will never be a sequel to Republic Commando or Knights of the Old Republic by the way, though we are more likely to get one of the latter. The Clone Commando was added to Battlefront II this month.

It's a Star Wars game where I can run around wrecking shit without having to play multiplayer. I'm definitely getting this one.

I haven't played anything since Force Unleashed and that was a dud. They made it seem like the gravity in that was better than real life.

This looks interesting, but it could just be another bait and switch.

I might get it later today. I know who the second onee-chan is now, she's cool, the lore is interesting at least but I still don't like the main character but everything else looks ok

So, I’m not the first to say this and I certainly won’t be the last... but this game really didn’t need to be a reskinned Dark Souls. It actually physically takes me out of the experience. It’s too much like Dark Souls.

Sure, there are obvious differences, but they are so overshadowed by just how much this feels like a feeble—and lazy—attempt at copying someone else’s development style. I’d be okay with some light inspiration here and there. This is fucking ridiculous though. It’s got nearly every cliche from that franchise you can think of.

This is by no means a complaint about difficulty—although, do we really have to sit through another rip-off Dark Souls that uses the SAME fucking, tired ass death penalty? It hasn’t changed since the jump from Demon’s Souls.

Jesus Christ... you couldn’t at least copy something like Witcher 3? It HAD to be another Dark Souls clone? Get the fuck out of here. I was hoping and praying it wouldn’t be as bad as I feared. It is.

Still, I guess I need to try and push through this slosh of a game. The opening was great. Then, you get to the first planet and you quickly realize it’s Jedi Fallen Order: Souls Edition.

The only thing I don't like is being forced to play as a man with orangutan hair, and maybe the fighting controls, they're a bit odd. You can't just mash dodge like DS you gotta time it otherwise you will die, and almost any animal in any world can one shot you in Master difficulty.

I like the options this game gives us, you can play the easiest mode possible for the story or get your ass handed to you in Grand Master mode. And considering you get more and more lightsaber colors just by progressing story mode, it looks like I barely scratched the surface, and I've been playing for over 10 hours now, I think.

But I feel this game needed to be an RPG, with choices and proper character customization. It feels like this should be there but you're forced to accept your character's stupid choices, the story is alright so far but the good guys are too lame and the bad guys are too cool, even for Star Wars standards.

Totally agree with that last paragraph. We are long overdue for a new Star Wars RPG. I’ve been waiting so long now that I’ve pretty much lost hope.

And then this was announced. But the best they could give us was... this? A cheap copy and paste? Seriously?

I should probably clarify. I loved Demon’s Souls and the Dark Souls franchise. Even Sekiro was a lot of fun. Nioh was more of a chore, but that too was fun. Bloodborne? Meh. Surge? Ungodly amounts of meh. Can’t believe it got a sequel. Code Vein? Looks meh, but might be okay? I’ve yet to actually play it.

I’m no stranger to these types of games and their difficulty. I know how to play them. Sekiro gave me some trouble initially because I’m a dodge (insert gif of Team FourStar Piccolo) type of gamer by nature.

As for Fallen Order, I think the challenge is decent, but not really that hard. I’ve only died once and it was to see what actually happens. I nearly vomited out my lunch from two days ago when I saw the feature was yet again unchanged from Dark Souls.

Okay, so they obviously can’t decay Cal or whatever, but you get the point. The Dark Souls format is old and tired.

It’s time to let old things die.

Stoooooop regurgitating this template. Find your own inspiration and light a new path. Hell, I’d take a mishmash of different games over ANOTHER Dark Souls rehash. And I don’t dislike those games at all. I played the fuck out of them.

But maybe that’s the problem. Perhaps people that haven’t eaten the asshole out of that franchise can enjoy this without complaining, but this lazy shit is really off-putting for me, personally.

Lucky for me I skipped all dark souls after the first one so for me I like this game. It’s not perfect for sure but it’s got enjoyable lightsaber battling and I’m sure once I unlock more moves and force techniques it’ll be more fun. I like parrying an attack and then one hit killing the opponent and chopping them in two. Deflecting laser blasts back at storm troopers and taking them out is nice too. I mean it’s Star Wars so it’s got that going for it, great graphics and score, some platforming. I guess it’s like dark souls meets uncharted meets prince of Persia.

The ending was such a slap in the face that I sold it and used the money to get DS

Got hacked a day ago so I just downloaded it this morning. Tried to "play" this horribly boring mess for around 4 hours, gave up and deleted.

Seems like SW is always given shitty games aimed at normies. The newer Battefronts didn't even look remotely interesting. The PS2 games were fun with a few other people, but nothing revolutionary.

Oh really? Post it in a spoiler :LOL:
They tried to get this important thing for the entire game and in the end the main characters goes, fuck it, and destroys it. To make it worse they gave it a safe ending, you know, as in nothing happened and everyone lives just in case they want to make a sequel.

This game is cancer. Battlefront II is unironically a superior game and I will keep playing it. This shit I sold without a second thought.

It seems like games keep getting budgets that climb into the heavens, with shitty end results. I haven't like a SW game since the Jedi Knight series.

I actually really enjoyed the first Battlefront from a few years ago. The sequel took a wrong turn and is still trying to correct its course.

I had hoped this game would be THE Star Wars game we’ve been waiting for—especially since the 1313 announcement years ago.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s still fun... but the Dark Souls/Sekiro thing man. Ugh. I’m bored of that “genre.”

It makes me think of GOW, a series I never “got.”
