  1. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - action adventure from Respawn Entertainment

    Sure, I mean you could definitely explain it this way (and I think this is basically how the EU treated it). It’s just not something that’s explicitly part of the films, like you said. You have to extrapolate pretty heavily from minor details in the OT to build up this whole concept. Which is...
  2. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - action adventure from Respawn Entertainment

    It’s only implied in the sense that several aliens (and alien ships) fight with the rebels, and that’s only really portrayed in RotJ. In the first two films both the Empire and Rebels are uniformly human. There’s never any explicit example of “speciesism” shown anywhere in the films. I say it...
  3. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - action adventure from Respawn Entertainment

    In the first two movies the rebel alliance looks like this: Also Palpatine is constantly shown with multiple alien bureaucrats/aides/lackeys throughout the prequels. I have no problem with Fallen Order ignoring the “speciest” (?) concept of the Empire, it was an EU invention and it never...
  4. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - action adventure from Respawn Entertainment

    It wouldn’t be an issue if they would just stop setting games in-between the prequels and OT. Any other time period would allow much more freedom in that regard. I guess they don’t want to get too removed from the films but I don’t know why they keep focusing on the rise of the Empire. It’s...
  5. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - action adventure from Respawn Entertainment

    That’s fair - I was thinking more of upgrades that add a new wrinkle to an existing ability, like an attack gaining an AOE side effect or something. But I agree.
  6. Vapourware Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake from Saber Interactive

    Huh? I don’t particularly trust any studio to do this but that’s not the point. If I was Disney then yes, I’d probably go with a “proven” studio over an unproven studio a literal porting house. Also have you seen the writers attached to this? I expect it to be just as woke as any other major...
  7. Vapourware Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake from Saber Interactive

    I don’t really understand how Aspyr of all companies managed to land this project. Outside of Battlefront or maybe Jedi Knight this is one of the most beloved SW series out there and Disney decided to give it to a porting studio with no prior game experience? Yeah they ported the old games to...
  8. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - action adventure from Respawn Entertainment

    That’s what a second playthrough is for. But I sort of agree since this isn’t an RPG, it’s an action game with a skill tree. I just wish the lightsaber types were differentiated more as they were in Jedi Academy, where each lightsaber style actually felt different and had it’s own...
  9. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - action adventure from Respawn Entertainment

    Jedi aren’t supposed to be superheroes, and Cal is just some kid with a lightsaber that barely got any training. Keeping the action low level was one of the better things the game did. I would have liked some more build variety too but the most we’ll probably see is expanding lightsaber styles...
  10. Screenshot thread

    edit: game is Hylics 2
  11. From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

    I’m doubtful such a person exists…
  12. Incline RPGs where party members aren't mindless slaves

    Fantasy adventuring parties are not military special forces, though. Depending on the context there could be plenty of reasons why a loose band of adventurers and misfits might turn on each other.
  13. Incline RPGs where party members aren't mindless slaves

    I don’t remember if this is in vanilla or if it was added back in the Restored Content Mod but in KotOR 2 certain companions can attack a rival companion on Malachor and try to kill them depending on influence levels.
  14. Halo Infinite - the next Halo game

    In both Halo 1 and 2 you can instantly switch between new/old graphics in-game with a button press, so I don’t really think it matters. You can easily compare both as you go. Personally I don’t know why you wouldn’t play with newer graphics, that’s the main point of the remasters and they mostly...
