Comments fair they are...

I'm just a bit shit but slow mo is good advice. On Dothomir now and finding it tough against the queen's hand maidens

They’re tough, I cheated a little and used the force pull in them where you bring them onto your sword. They are tough though mate. Boss at the end is a shit too!! I only thought of using slow mo maybe mid way through. Never wasted a stim again!

I have to say, I think the thing that annoys me most in this game is that fact that pretty much all crates are just lightsaber or bot parts. For one, it doesn't make sense in the world, and two, it's worthless so why would I hunt around to find them all?

It's that classic thing of wanting to pinch game design from Dark Souls but not understanding why it works. The items in dark souls sometimes told the story of the world but even if they didn't then they were usually useful to something coming up or a hint as to how to beat the tough enemies in the area.

They really needed to think about the skills and weapons the character would use before they decided they needed to fill the world with some kind of collectables.

I think it would be more okay if it was materials that you used to then craft the different parts for the lightsaber instead of it being the actual parts. Something that would make sense in the world instead of what it is which makes it obvious you're just playing a game where you collect things.

Okay, so this is down to £25 on psn and I love a bit of Star Wars- I'm hearing stories about long load time, frame rate and input lag, though.
I've got a PS4 (not pro) - is the performance realy a mess on this platform? And re combat - is this really soulslike, and if so is it closer to Sekiro than others? I'm not all that hot on games with a big focus on parrying mechanics.

Cheers

I played on base PS4, not Pro.

It’s a good game, very Dark Souls 1 / Metroid in its construction.

Combat is absolutely parry heavy though, and performance with constant frame dips, makes that far harder than it needs to be. It’s a buggy mess that might be a good time if performance was stable enough to let players deal with the game as it’s designed to be played.

I’d avoid, personally, on base Xbox and PlayStation consoles. There’s a great game there but the technical side might be one of the worst I’ve played this generation.

Personally. I played it for ‘free’ on game pass.
And It’s incredibly... OK.
I’m a maybe Star Wars fan and it wasn’t enough to keep me interested. If it wasn’t for the fact that I was off work this week and with lockdown had literally nothing else to do I would’ve bounced off it.

The one thing that really really annoyed me was the the getting back to your ship after getting to one end of the map. It might be a ‘Souls’ thing but fucking hell it could be a slog sometimes. It was worse on Kashyyk than the other planets because of hubs and lift sections.

Shabby is bang on it wants to be souls but doesn’t really get souls.

Looking back I defo wouldn’t pay £20 for it.

You hit the nail on the head r.e going back to the ship. That was the slog and it felt like the designers trying to be mega 'clever clever'about map designers as you passed by earlier areas at a new angle. It was done to overkill.

Well it sort of depends if you chose to go to Wookie planet first!

I think most on here enjoyed it even with its performance issues (I played it on base PS4 and still did).

I'd stay with it a bit until you get some cooler jedi abilities as the combat opens up a bit then and becomes much more enjoyable.

It's just had a next gen patch but I doubt I'll bother playing again now. It's an average game with some nice moments, but I had so many bugs and glitches during my time with it. The last one I had I walked through a door and fell through the world and it kept respawning me and I kept falling and I just stared for a while then slowly shut the Xbox down and that was that.

I have very little patience for unfinished games.

Just finished the tomb of miktrull and its improved somewhat. Force pushing bad guys off edges never gets old. Especially the shock troopers.

I may stick it through and finish it now. Though played way too much today. I only started before lunchtime.

Hahaha.

Hour 1: We're going to do a rich day of activities with the child!

Hour 2: GET FucKED I;M DOING STAR RAWS! GO AND WATCH BLIPPI.

I thought you were both working full time and that's why childcare was an issue? One of you playing games, the other napping all day?

I'm on to you, Dino. Your web of lies has grown too intricate and you have messed up

Sturgeon must condemn
