If this turns out to be Baby Jedi Souls, I'm just gonna replay Jedi Academy instead.

From what I've seen it looks harmless and mediocre. Which, to me, is worse than being a bad game. I can understand them being risk adverse though. That Star Wars license wasn't cheap and I imagine that many Star Wars fans will buy it just because it is Star Wars.

All the good education and high paying jobs in the world aren't gonna help those poor bastards.

Looks like it will be part of Origin Premier thing. So you could rent it for 15 euro (price for me) if you feel like.

oh FUCK yeah Imma just do this then! good shit

And thus the subscription era begins, sadly.

Alright guys I bought this so if you have any questions, fire away. So far my opinion is that the popamole is strong with this one, but it is extremely well-polished popamole and I am having a bit of fun with it. The token black character has already begun to rub me the wrong way but we'll see (What is up with her fucking bug eyes?)

Honestly from the few hours I've played so far there's more love and care put into this than there is in the entirety of Force Awakens and Last Jedi. It really feels as if the people who made this game genuinely love Star Wars, Star Wars as it used to be, not the abomination that it has become.

89% Steam user reviews .. so far.
Is it justified?

Yes, I think so. As I said, it's really well-polished and fun to play. It's just not... very deep. At least it has some godamn challenge. I'm playing on the second hardest difficulty and I've died a few times fighting these big frog-looking motherfuckers. They're not so tough once you get the timing down though.

Is it justified?

Pretty much. Especially if you see that all the negative reviews were done after 0.5-1.5 hours gametime, so these people just wanted to dislike the game from the start.

A surprisingly lukewarm review from Sam Machkovech at ARS Technica.

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019...eview-more-like-the-force-goes-back-to-sleep/

The good:

• The game's opening hours combine a promising story, accessible combat, beautiful setpieces, and a lovable new droid in masterful fashion.

The bad:

• 12-hour campaign would be easier to stomach if it didn't run out of steam so quickly.
• Dark Souls-ification of combat feels more like a ticked-off box than a fitting system for this game's combat.
• By the end of the game, the story feels rote and utterly disposable in the Star Wars universe, and it loses its logical train of thought along the way.
• Metroid-like backtracking system feels annoying thanks to mostly worthless, cosmetic loot.

The ugly:

• I hope Respawn issues a patch that increases players' access to Force powers during encounters; in its current state, the game taunts Star Wars fans with such meager access to Jedi superpower juggling.
• Glitchy hitbox issues make the game's tougher combat sequences harder to swallow.

Verdict: Since the paid Origin Access Basic subscription service didn't make J:FO eligible for its usual 10-hour trial, I can only recommend renting or avoiding altogether (unless you already pay for Origin Access Premier on PC, which includes full J:FO access).

I've checked the guy's Youtube account... and among other things he has almost only words of high praise for such things like The Last Jedi movie. Coupled with the fact that the guy depends on Star Wars for livelihood, and that he has what seems to be thousands of videos on the topic, the logical conclusion is that he is extremely biased and thus his opinion on anything related to Star Wars can simply be discarded as irrelevant.

This won't even be talked about anymore by next week.

I think it may havea longer life simply because EA has done fuck all with their exclusive Star Wars license. Which in itself is kinda mindblowing. We've had, what; two Battlefronts, The Old Republic and now this in terms of notable projects?

 

[hexer]

I see Steam reveiws are going up - they're at 92% now.
Some people are praising the game as a mix of Dark Souls and Force Unleashed.
So is this an ARPG or pure action game?
