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

[Lichtbringer]

92% now. Color me surprised.

I loved the Force Unleashed back in the day. I'll play the heck out of Fallen Order if it is similar.

 

[hexer]

I'll wait to see reviews from people who finish the game.
These positive reviews are all from people who played a couple of hours which is just first impressions awe.

I remember last year I wanted to play all Star Wars action games because I never played them much before (only Jedi Academy) and started with Dark Forces, and I still hasn't finished this. Doubt that this new game will be better than Dark Forces though.

 

[DalekFlay]

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?

I've played a couple hours and so far it's exactly Dark Souls, but without changing weapons because lightsaber. Maybe you get different lightsabers later. Anyway, the game is easy to summarize so there you go. Define its genre how you will.

Story seems good for Star Wars. Graphics don't really impress me honestly but they're fine. Some good PC options like high framerate or locked, turn off blur and aberration, etc.

Well, I've looked at a couple of streams. From what I saw the "solid" is a good description of the game - nothing groundbreaking and in fact nothing novel that hasn't been already done (wallrunning, souls-like combat etc). Graphic-wise it's OK. I don't think I'll be getting this game, at least not at this price (!) considering the campaign apparently is ~15h long. Maaaybe on a sale when there is nothing else in my playqueue (read: not anytime soon).

Go to Planet A, NPC says. So I promptly head to Planet B, fuck you I'm a rebel. Dark, sinister place, red rocky mountains. Fought my way through some pretty hard enemies. Encountered a content gate, can't jump far enough yet... but... got myself a double-bladed lightsaber. Quite nice that the game rewarded me for heading off the beaten path... I got a chance to feel some of the Souls-like mechanics here as I kept dying to the temple dudes. I think it works, even though I agree that it's not terribly innovative. I like unlocking cosmetics, but haven't done any of that backtracking yet

 

[vonAchdorf]

German review says, it's more Metroid Prime than Dark Souls but agrees that the backtracking isn't worth it most of the time, because it's mostly for cosmetics. Overall, he likes the game a lot.

15 hours? that means it's longer than jedi knight 2: jedi outcast or jedi academy. not sure why you think it's not worth the asking price.

 

[Zibniyat]

Ugh it is like Dark Souls?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Also I despise descriptions like "Souls-like", "rougelike", "metroidvania" etc. A game may be derivative, but it does not need to be so dumb so as to amount to a reskin of another game.

Well, at least in my country the price for Deluxe Edition is either outrageous or I am very out of loop:

The price is outrageous in Russia. Its 50+% more expensive than regular price of AAA game on release. I guess they fucked up with other regional prices too.

Weeeell only in that it uses the 'recover your stuff' mechanic from guys that killed you. Otherwise it's not really like Dark Souls, it's nowhere near as punishing, and the combat is simpler, I think.

yeah guys, but don't incline so fast. it still hasn't been cracked, i suppose it might use something akin to last simcity's which has never fully been.

 

[Puukko]

Huh, Dark Souls comparisons weren't something I expected. I'm in a SW mood again so if this gets cracked within a reasonable timeframe, we'll see...

 

[CyberModuled]

It's called CTRL+F-ing the EULA

 

[hexer]

How about this? I've seen other reviews also mention KOTOR

KOTOR with 2019 graphics, Dark Souls combat and Obsidian dialogue. Thoroughly amazing game, one of the best Star Wars games.

I'll buy the Dark Souls comparisons before the KOTOR ones.

So now we have a third tag line for the Sarkeesian meme
"Everything is racist...
Everything is sexist...
Everything is darksouls..."
