dont care, i'm not playing as a ginger
Looks so fricking dumb. npc pornoloid goyslop. Bich be lookin like he just took a dump in his space diaper
>NPC pornoloid goyslop
I'd play a game with this name honestly.
Stormtroopers just keep getting visual downgrades since the Disney acquisition.
That's a scout trooper.
The actual stormtroopers look identical to the original trilogy stormtroopers.
>Bich be lookin like he just took a dump in his space diaper
He might as well have. I recall that they're terrified of you in this segment.
>pornoloid
uhhhh what now?
It's the Unreal slop look

wake up babe new Ganker lingo just dropped
I first thought this was a Jedi Knight Academy custom level.
No idea why modern games, in certain moments, can look so fricking bad.
To be fair, the rest of the game looks like this.
I know, which is why it's so weird, that games can look good and also so fricking bad sometimes.
The game is off visually. From cutscenes and close range moments I can tell they put effort into details and textures but you often won't see it, the FOV keeps it all far away and the TAA implementation is garbage in this game.
Is there even any game that has implemented TAA without making the game look blurry as frick?
Like this shit. Why go through all that effort to make the dude's abs and lightsaber and veins look so detailed when you're never really going to see it aside from a few moments in a cutscene, and the rest of him you'll just see from a moderate distance in duels?
Only for it to run natively at half your display's resolution at most [if you want 60+ FPS], too. For God's sake, cut down the poly and textured budget. Hi-Fi Rush, Scarlet Nexus, and Tales of Arise [for what it's worth] run natively at above 1440p while holding 60 on current-gen, and run well enough on Steam Decks, too.
Same reason Ganker and jannies think shoehoring sexual content everywhere is quality content and makes up for anything bad: Extreme moronation that damages everything worthwhile. Most people are complete morons when things they like show up, and being a homosexual, or at least a porn addict, is cool now. It impairs their judgement and they can only focus on whatever appeals to them, and sex appeals to any moron. It's literally as casual as it gets yet they pretend it's sophisticated. Many people on Ganker are the exact same as the people they claim to hate, they just have a different fetish.
game looks good, op just chose a shit pic
good luck running this on native with high fps though
thx 4 my band name
>pornoloid
miku is sex but what's that got to do with snore wars?
>scout troopers
>no scout trooper hold-out blaster pistol
sad that they've never been able to top jedi outcast gameplay
>objective improvement over the first game and one of the least woke/pozzed/commiebait/whatever you want to call this nonsense pieces of Disney Wars media
>all ruined by that horrendous launch and trying again to make High Republic a thing
We can only hope the tech department of the dev studio got fired before the 3rd game started production because those homosexuals have never heard of the word "optimize"
>objective improvement over the first game
Aside from the story.
Nta but I was more engaged in the individual characters and what they were going through in this game. First one felt like your typical Star Wars story but I liked how this one was about Cal and friends basically accepting that they've lost, and how to live (or fail) their lives in the wake of that.
Greez was pretty cool with that bit. Getting serious and emotional telling Cal how shits fricking rigged and that Cal shouldn't dare blame himself for all this shit.
It's a mixed bag. The first was better at landing the big moments and the main boss was better, but the moment to moment dialogue and character interactions in the second got a lot more focus. Fallen Order lacked those moments where people just sit down and talk so you can really get into their mindspace.
I agree with that. There are aspects of Survivor that just feel very fanfic-y and forced to me though, even by the standards of prior Star Wars games and the EU. It's still a better story than the Jedi Knight games, but I liked Fallen Order's focus.
what are some star wars games
Pod Racer
Based. Possibly the best star wars game. I think only the Rogue Squadrons are better.
Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (video game)
I genuinely have no idea how 8 year old me managed to finish that game without the knowledge self healing was a thing
gay Black folk from outer space
Rogue Squadron II
?feature=shared
This might sound unbelievable but the PS1 game for Episode 1 was really fun.
That game is fricking dogshit but I kind of like it too.
>Just give me the drink!
you just awakened a memory i forgot i had
i don't remember which was the worse assrape. the maul fight in jedi power battles or the maul fight in EP 1
Force Unleashed, ignore all the gayS that hate in it, it’s kino GoW clone power tripping with hot women and a funny robot
All the complaints about Galek being OP were true but I don't care. It's a power fantasy game and in that regard it was fun.
PROXY is one of the most underrated droids in all of star wars
KOTOR 1 and 2
Shadow of the Empire
>KOTOR 1
That remake could've worked.
>keep the general design but give it FF7R combat but it pauses entirely when giving commands, and spruce up general conversation cutscenes
>KOTOR 1 and 2
But what about TOR
I liked SWTOR. I haven't played it since 3.0 but I have fond memories
TOR varies. Some of the class stories like Imperial Agent and Sith Warrior (especially light side) are kino
It was pretty alright though not sure how it is now
Star Wars: Pit Droids
The one where you control Qui Gong, I liked the part where you can frick your level if you attack civilians in town, Anakin and important npcs just refuse to talk to you since you are a murderer so you need to start over. In the final fight I remember grabbing a rocket launcher and shooting at Darth Maul before entering the arena, it didnt kill him but it damaged him a lot making the fight a whole lot easier.
Lightsabers then: cuts through everything except mando armor or cortosis.
Lightsabers now: club stormtroopers to death with lots of little sparks flying off the armor.
GAY. FRICK YOU.
>Lucas comes up with the perfect way to have dismemberment while still making it kid friendly by making the enemies in the Prequels be predominantly droids, and having humanoid dismemberment just use burn marks instead of blood
>Disney doesn’t just leave it alone
Why?
>Lightsabers now: club stormtroopers to death with lots of little sparks flying off the armor.
That was only true in the first game where humans couldn't be dismembered. The sequel has dismemberment for everyone.
>The sequel has dismemberment for everyone.
only in cutscenes
?
No mod, no cutscene. Don't know why you feel the need to lie.
>I won't even buy it anyway because of that frog eye Black person they put in there.
At least that's a valid reason.
I saw a webm and discussion of someone modding the game to put dismemberment in it. Then you accuse me of lying and post a webm of delayed low-quality dismemberment (which looks like a mod).
I played the first game and it was moronic, I uninstalled (EA play) on like the 2nd planet because of the boring combat.
>I saw a webm and discussion of someone modding the game to put dismemberment in it.
That was the first game from 2019.
https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarsjedifallenorder/mods/282
This is the sequel and it's always had dismemberment, like I said before in
can you read?
FFS you can google "does this game have dismemberment" and confirm it does for yourself.
GAY
Literally jedi knight without saberrealisticcombat. This attempt at a criticism is about as moronic as people complaining because there's sound in space in star wars or about the people who were getting mad at the ep. 7 trailer because "wtf stormtroopers are clones and he's black?"
>jedi knight
>saberrealisticcombat
fricking lmao
>tertiary doesn't even know what I'm talking about
Unsurprising, but still disappointing.
You need to understand that in a duel between two force users, both are partly precognitive.
This results in both of them going through katas and moves until one slips up in technique.
>combining the elegant Makashi stance with a disgusting blaster
That is no jedi.
Go to bed grandpa Dooku you get cranky past 5pm
>That is no jedi.
Well in the game Cal's standing as a jedi is extremely dubious by the end. Taps in the dark side often and not always in control, fights more like a sith than a jedi, and he gets a girlfriend on the excuse that the order is gone and maybe they didn't get everything right. If everyone around him keeps dying like they did in Survivor he'll 100% fall to the dark side.
Damn that webm is cool.
Never tried orange lightsabers, but will now.
>and he gets a girlfriend on the excuse that the order is gone and maybe they didn't get everything right.
I mean, they didn't.
why would they stick in like blades? if they're lasers, shouldn't they just fly through the body like butter? Then into the ground i guess
Cal uses the force to hold them there.
>if they're lasers, shouldn't they just fly through the body like butter?
they're not really
you need to apply physical force to make them go through stuff like butter, even quigon in ep 1 can't melt through the door without working on it for a while and dooku in episode 2 slicing obiwan just grazes instead of dismembering because not enough physical force was applied
i dont remember the dooku thing but the door was like extremely thick so needing some force there makes sense
There's always that lightsaber proof guardrail Vader conveniently leans on after Luke chops his hand off.
?si=wdc3gKU2X4aCYkk3&t=112
dismembering in movies only really happens when the wielder puts some real strength into the swing, otherwise it's just severe burns
looks more to me like he just clipped him with the tip.
He kinda ditched the old Jedi Order thing by the end.
Dooku's ghost would be spinning in his grave regardless of whether it was original EU or Disney EU.
Original
>The famed Jedi lightsaber arts are basically 99% lost or confined to textbooks.
>Nujedi start teaching crazy shit like "Rings of defence" and there's one cretin who keeps doing the verboten trakata. How gauche.

>Pretty much exactly the same as above but with slightly less autism and much less soul/batshit insanity.
Then again, Kreia has that line about old sith flexing on contemporary jedi (for 4000bby) lightsaber combat so I don't know maybe the only really good lightsaber combat was back when they were wearing fricking proton packs.
It’s ok when Kyle Katarn does it
>2024
>game still has that smeared blurry look like the game was running under fxaa or taa/txaa
If you've got a capture card to record lossless video footage that doesn't affect your FPS at all, feel free to upload non smeary blurry footage. But I play just around 60fps without recording so I reduced the settings and uploaded a low res webm.
"PLZ buy $1,500 GPU for blurry graphics." - Nvidia and AMD
In newer games, I hardly notice the difference between the graphics on my 3080 and Xbox Series X. I remember when playing on a new GPU was way more affordable, and the difference between it and your old one was like wiping a window caked in bugs on a road trip.
Now they add the bugs on purpose and call it a feature.
morons.
Pretty sure that's a mod. Are you talking shit? Ah who am I kidding, I won't even buy it anyway because of that frog eye Black person they put in there.
Let me guess, before you dismember them, you smack them around with the saber a few times like it's some sort of bat?
>My leg! My leeeeeeg!
Lmao, there are only some designated cut areas. Most glaring was the over head cut that dismembered the leg.
>no dismemberment muh lightsaber bats
>w-well those are clearly specific dismemberment animations heh
Btfo lmao
Even if the game allowed you to mutilate every organ in an enemy's body, the goalposts would still shift endlessly.
I never got why they thought making the empire incompetent in media was a good idea when they are supposed to be a threat. That just makes the rebels look dumb for not beating them 20 years sooner
>20k words wiki entry about how ewoks are actually super strong for their stature empowered by force cells and their clubs are made from space jesus wood and Skywalker rock which is actually stronger than imperial plastic just the imperials never thought to harvest it because they overlooked it in their hubris
Sorry you didn't get it anon
I've read two and seen at least five stormtrooper PoW fanfictions involving ewoks. Of the two I read, exactly what you're thinking of happens. One of them is almost older than internet 2.0 because my friend printed it off and brought it into school.
Endor concentration camps.
>"NOOOOOO MY IMPENETRABLE ARMOUR!"
>overpowered by literal teddy bears with sticks
lol why are stormtroopers so incompetent compared to the clone troopers
Most stormtroopers are normies while clone troopers had a chad daddy
Clone troopers were bred to be highly obedient and loyal, they were trained since they were born to be soldiers, their entire purpose is serving as an army.
Stormtroopers are just regular people the Empire gives a couple of months of training to ship them off to a dump in some planet to patrol around. They are more like police officers that the Empire had to adopt as the larger bulk of their military for the civil war due to time and budget constraints.
why are they jobbing hard to teddy bears with sticks?
Strong teddy bears and getting whacked with a stick hurts
they are wearing space armor
Cheap mass produced space armor that is pretty worthless
thats moronic
I thought stormtroopers were supposed to be elites promoted out of the regular army or child soldiers like the clones
Stormtroopers are the elite, the random people just end up in the Imperial Army/Navy troopers, the guys with the goofy black helmets.
In a 1978 new article it was revealed that stormtroopers were clones. George didn't retcon Stormtroopers to being regular recruits until the prequels came out. ROTJ was just a fricking garbage movie and George Lucas admitted that he threw the whole original script with Han dying and there being Wookies instead of Ewoks out because he wanted to sell more toys.
>In a 1978 new article it was revealed that stormtroopers were clones
You sure about that? I distinctly remember the Clone Wars that are mentioned in the original trilogy being a very vague event in the past, because Timothy Zahn mentioned them a few times, and that was before the prequels
In retrospect Return of the Jedi was a really bad movie outside of the opening and ending.
this is correct. empire is also overrated in my opinion. not that empire is bad, but star wars '77 works really well as standalone fantasy scifi film and is much more rewatchable because of that
>In retrospect
RotJ was always considered the black sheep of the trilogy
Those Stormtrupper outfits look stiff as frick.
Lucas really should have stuck with Kashykk and wookies instead, but the merchandising money was too strong for him.
Battlefront 2's Ewok Hunt was pretty fun.
little frickers are savage cannibals
>an entire legion of my finest troops are waiting for your rebel friends on endor
>stormtroopers are canonically the best infantry in star wars
>lose to merchandising teddy bears
fricking george lucas
It's a lesson about home field advantage for guerilla fighters
>guerilla fighters
they're bears
Really it just makes it look like everyone was waiting for leia and luke to be legal.
I didn't play the new Jedi but I liked the stormtroopers in Fallen Order. The ones with guns can actually hit you, and the stun baton guys have some balls coming at a dude with a laser sword.
Americans lost like 3 wars in the last 70 years to literal peasants
>no see instead of just giving you a longer healthbar and toning down the hitstun, it's more immersive to have every Imperial base be filled with 10,000 scout troopers with stun batons instead of blasters
You have a pretty long healthbar and all the spooks behind the scout troopers have guns.
You will never be a real Jedi Knight. You have no saberrealisticcombat, you have no Force powers, you have no multiplayer. You are a padawan twisted by Disney and EA into a crude mockery of Raven Software's perfection.
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your masters are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish mocap behind closed doors.
Merrin are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed Dathomiri to sniff out simps with incredible efficiency. Even padawans who “pass” their "trials" look uncanny and unnatural next to a Knight. Your RPG mechanics are a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get her drunk on the Mantis with you, she’ll turn tail and frick a lesbo stormtrooper in your bed the moment she catches sight of your Nathan Drake shimmy and shuffle sections..
You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the Dark Side creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll grab your kyber crystal, hold it in your hands, and "bleed" it red. Greez will find you, heartbroken but relieved that he no longer has to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your padawan braid, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a padawan is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably not a Jedi Knight.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
lel
Hehehe, boomer gang boomer gang!
was the second one any good?
I played it last month. Personally loved it, 2nd place GOTY2023 after Lies of P in my book. I played on PS5, no performance issues, I assume the PC version is fixed by now too.
>I played on PS5, no performance issues,
lol
I know that webm gets passed around a lot by Sony obsessed virgins, but the game runs really well. I played on performance mode, beat the entire campaign in addition to various side quests and areas, and had no noticeable drops. The game is great, but I didn't play it at launch so my opinion isn't colored by the performance issues it had.
On console it ran fine on launch. I played it on performance. It had a few hiccups but it wasn't unplayable.
where is bg3 in that tasteless list of yours?
If you didn't like the first, you won't like this one. If you liked the first, you'll like the second one. It's an upgrade in most ways, sidegrade in some others. Protagonist finally grew into a capable guy instead of a scared kid. But the PC port is godawful, runs like ass unless you've got a good PC. That alone disqualifies it from being worth full price, I'd pirate it if I were you.
still has denuvo
Frick. Well avoid buying it full price unless Star Wars makes you do the basedface or you've got money to throw away. I enjoyed it but I generally refuse to pay 70 bucks for an AAA game, I paid 35.
Let's be honest - there's almost nothing that's come out in the last decade that would be worth paying $70 for.
>Elden Ring
>Ghost of Tsushima
>RDR2
I nominate those 3 as full price worthy. Maybe BoTW, but it wasn't 70 at launch so I don't count it.
Ghost sucks shit
You wish, tendie.
Swap out GoT with any Xenoblade game and add BG3.
>Swap out GoT
No
>For Xenoblade
FRICK no
>BG3
Haven't played but I'll take your word for it
GoT maybe but lol at Dark Souls for the 6th time and feminist cowboy movie game
It was alright. Some performance issues and such. Kinda ass and jank on Grandmaster mode
>tfw two rancors and three legendary beasts on Grandmaster
It's not as good overall or as polished as the first game. It trades the metroid style levels for two open world areas, though you occasionally go to more standard zones. Personally I felt disinclined to explore anywhere since I knew I couldn't get most items until later in the game. It was still enjoyable, and the number of styles is neat, though honestly the whole game just makes me wish it had a create-a-character
the worst thing about the second one is that all the new stances and fighting styles are separated, you have to toggle between them
fallen order letting the player seamlessly morph the two stances is sorely missed in the second game which doesn't flow together quite as smoothly
There's a mod that makes it "kinda" seamless again with a scroll wheel.
Better than the first, except for the performance issues on PC which I'm not sure if they've been fixed yet or not
Yes, it feels like a ps3 adventure game, tons of puzzles, platforming, combat, bosses
Kind of weaker writing but more fun powers and combat
The hot goth chick makes out with Cal and the game ends with them together
And the bad guy's wife's daughter.
Talk about weak writing if that's a standout to you.
Survivor was amazing. I was completely taken by surprise by how fun that game was.
where did this obsession with putting tactical rigs and shit on stormtroopers come from? OT stormies are already perfect. The tacticool shit is just gaudy.
This game was fricking awesome. I got 100% of achievements and 100+ hours and I'm going to play it again after I beat Lies of P and clear some of my backlog. Among my top games last year, it was so much fun.
When the final game drops in a few years I will swear off star wars, this is my last ride with it. Genuinely love the cast and story and the music is fricking amazing.
?si=c8adptSbzdHjVry5
What was that dumbass Bode's problem? Literally fricked everything up because he got pissy that some more people would get to go to a fricking sanctuary PLANET. homie you don't need all that space.
He was spiraling, into the dark side. Imo it was actually one of the better portrayals of what it would do to someone. He's been growing increasingly paranoid, which is his weakness the dark side preys upon inside of him. He's so paranoid and stressed out he can't accept the idea of making the planet into a target of the Empire. So he betrays them. It contrasted well with Cal also toying with the dark side and their position as survivors on the run, it demonstrated how perilous of a position Cal is in himself. He's like 2 steps from being the same. After that fricking rad double tap at the end, he is arguably one step. Great fricking ending.
He was still mindbroken by his home being tracked down by the Inquisition and his wife getting killed. From what I gathered he thought hiding his daughter in a place that would inevitably draw the Empire's attention would just make history repeat itself.
Kinda went especially moron at the end as he also almost hurt/killed his daughter and he was pretty fricked after being given more than one opportunity to just stop being a moron
but yeah something something dark side tends to make you a moron
It's even more tragic because his daughter knew he was becoming a fricking moron and willingly went with Cal and goth chick. But yeah, the dark side corrupted him, even while he was trying to do what was right. He was a good character, a tragedy of death and betrayal causing him to spiral into a misguided monster. The entire jedi funeral scene at the end was worth it though. I LIKED the first game but wasn't holding my breath for a sequel. My expectations are high after this one and am genuinely excited for the third part.
Yeah even Cere was handled well, I was genuinely moved by her death. I sincerely could not believe I was feeling something about star wars again, but I did.
And the acting when Cal found her? Monaghan or however you say his name, my God he OWNED that scene. The way he wept felt very real.
Please don't get your hopes up too high, the director left the company last September seemingly because he got tired of running interference for the artistic vision against corporate higher-ups
I agree the second game was surprisingly great
This moronness is in canon
It was also his insanely dangerous position under that one imperial guy. Bode is just tragic, in fact all the people who fell to the dark side here were quite tragic. Neither Bode nor Dagan were genuinely evil, they didn't fall for some stupid reason like they got too angry one time, Bode slowly devolved over time from sheer paranoia and he had no way, trapped in that downward spiral. And overly protective tough guy gruff dads are everywhere in game media, here we see what that kind of paranoia would do to such a person. Dagan was traumatized by loss of his purpose in life and his lover, his arm, even he was tragic. Then you have the two Sisters and Taron. Honestly all the dark side people in this Remedy games are good. A lot of them mirror Cal well, for example Malicos in FO gave into despair over the order falling but Cal refused, they couldve easily swapped places if a few things had happened out differently.
>they didn't fall for some stupid reason
TANALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!!!
Lol yeah I guess it's kind of stupid but when you think about how the Droid Cal finds was sent to get him, and if he hadn't gotten stuck where he was, and his gf hadn't died of age by the time he'd gotten out, it wouldn't have went that way. It felt like circumstances turned him evil rather than him just getting really mad. He's legit shocked when Cal tells him the Republic is gone and the Order fell but that just fuels his ambition, it basically is what ruined him.
He'd already murdered several Jedi just because they wanted him to evacuate the planet, that's why he got his arm lopped off and stuck in the tank.
Fair enough I guess I'm probably reaching a bit with Dagan but I just really enjoyed how tragic so much of the game felt. And then those little bits of hope you get. I personally just really liked it.
I can't consider it such a tragedy because the game goes full-in on the "Dark Side is a drug" angle. Dagan and Bode swiftly decline into complete insanity, either immediately or as the game goes on. In the end Bode betrays everyone for very spurious reasons, when he simply could have escaped with his daughter. Cal would have helped him take her, if he needed to.
This aspect of the story makes the galaxy feel much too small, like Cal and Dagan and Bode really NEED this one planet to hide from the Empire, when really any of them could have just gone to any of the millions of undeveloped or forgotten worlds out there. But everyone spergs out about Tanalor because there's only one copy of it's hyperspace coordinate data.
That planet was a bit unique as it was in the middle of a spooky ass nebula that the Empire would have a hard time getting through without figuring out that New Republic shit which I think needed a key and stuff. Even then it seemed to close quick
Imo Bode is characterized enough that it seemed like he was struggling for a long time before he snapped. I think the dark side for him can easily be seen as a drug but to each their own.
Bode did run, multiple times. The Empire found him anyway. Then he got strong armed into working for them and he could've been sold out at any moment. All that explains his decision when he learns about how isolated and uniquely position Tannalor was. By that point he was sufficiently paranoid that I had no issues personally understanding why he did what he did. If he could infiltrate their group, anyone Cal brought along could have too. He even weighs letting Cal in on it but decides Cal won't go with it, showing he did grow to almost trust Cal enough to overcome his paranoia. I think it was pretty well done.
personally, every "jedi needs to hide from the empire" story falls apart because of how pathetic the Inquisitors are in everything. The only time they're remotely threatening is against total novices like Ezra and Cal. To ANY jedi with the slightest skill, they fold in an instant. It was more believable when it was just Vader on his crusade that jedi would cower and hide from some unknown sith lord
They used to be way more competent and much less cringe.
Is that Padme?
Yes.
Yes, it's that israeli jailbait prostitute.
Star wars is held together by spit at this point so I get what you're saying but it's also pretty basic hero shit, they survive because they're the heroes. Also Cal and Ezra are both very capable Knights by like halfway through their respective stories. As shitty as the Obi-Wan show was it did show the Inquisition racking up kills.
That's where the "with the slightest skill" comes in. The moment a padawan who learned about the force a month ago and a padawan who had been hiding for so long he lost most of his powers trained for just a short while, they dumpstered Inquisitors.
And the Inqs in Obi-Wan are "effective" because they're dealing with just regular people and EVEN THEN the black woman has trouble dealing with an overweight farmer
too blatant. It just makes him feel like a shitty offbrand vergil rather than an earned rival. The only time you ever see him are during the fights and that one conversation he has with the big guy. He needed more actual characterization other than "MUH TANALORE"
>EVEN THEN the black woman has trouble dealing with an overweight farmer
I think the justification they used was they she was literally just stabbed in the stomach and should've bled out and was barely holding herself together by rage. Then again one could argue she should've died. This is what, the third time now in nu-Star Wars where someone gets impaled yet just walks it off?
>Topaz
I know "le moderns Western character design" is a tired but true argument, but if the game had an aesthetic like Star Rail, [or at least one inspired by either the Tartakovsky Clone Wars shorts or the CG show] and never had these technical issues, I'd think it would be near-perfect
Dagan was really disappointing. I mean yeah I get it, he's meant to be the red herring because of the Bode thing but still. His fight also had weird animations.
>To ANY jedi with the slightest skill
Bro they're all dead. That's one of the points of the story. The best chance the jedi have at this point are terrified novices like Cal, who are way in over their head. And seeing as this story takes place betwee nthe PT and OT it's already a foregone conclusion that Cal and his friends WILL fricking die without achieving much.
Not necessarily given all the extra stuff.
>Bode did run, multiple times. The Empire found him anyway.
>Empire is hyper-competent offscreen as the plot requires
Yeah well that is star wars man I mean logically if everyone who doesn't like the Empire can just run away then there wouldn't be much of a story at all.
Wow almost like the US federal government
He couldn't trust anybody. Even after Cal stuck his neck out for him Bode was used to shit going awry. If there was even a slight chance his daughter got hurt because of it, he wasn't on board. Kicking his ass felt good though.
He was convinced that by allowing others to join them on the planet would lead to the Empire finding a way there and killing everyone. He himself was proof that Cal's group could be infiltrated by the Empire without notice. I might be a schizo but I feel like it's also supposed to mirror Cal's realization in the first game about trying to restore the Jedi Order
There might a bit there about Dagan mentioning doing the same thing, since his goal became making his own temple there to strike at the Empire.
>Pistol Lightsaber
I loved lighting people up in this game.
tfw my man Boba showed up and got to be cool
i liked how some of the animations changed depending on how the story went on
single stance you start with is really standard honorable duel stuff but blaster stance is just fighting dirty 100% with no regard for muh jedi code
the sheathing animations too, fairly normal at the start but once everything goes to shit cal gets pissed and you can tell in the way he puts down the saber
i can't record webms but it's this animation that i first saw when you start killing everyone in the imperial base

Thoughts on Dagan as a Vergil/Doku-style rival?
His use of the Force to simulate a right arm is very cool, if not exactly new.
Third game should stop pretending to be a Soulslike altogether besides the limited save points, level design, and being hard. Treat each stance like a weapon + style in DMC.
i couldn't play on jedi grandmaster
the parry timing is just too short
and i've played shit like sekiro i know how to parry but the faster enemies are legit impossible to parry on grandmaster here
master for normal fights, grandmaster for bosses
Rayvis was fun, but I feel like he should've had a third scripted phase where he bursts out of his armor like Durge and has to be knocked out of the ship to be beaten.
>early game filter turned into superboss in second game
You think they'll do 3 next time?
>DT is just slowing down time and doing 5x damage
Lame. That sucked in Amalur, too, and you get it right after the tutorial dungeon.
>manages to be a movie game without being as intrusive as a PS2 JRPG that got the budget for mocap cutscenes and is desperate to show it off
Every developer at Santa Monica should play this before they even think about making GoW6.
If you didn't make Cal look like a redneck, you played the game wrong.
>Headband
>Full Beard
>Bomber Jacket
the RotS Anakin hair is probably the best one
I made my Cal look like a pissed off coffee barista on the hunt for that guy who left him a 0.02 cent tip.
Its a shame this game had such poor technical issues as it completely overshadowed the fact that the game itself is really good.
Really is. This game really doesn't belong in the same conversation as Forspoken, Redfall or Starfield, since their problems exist beyond the technical side, though this game suffered them the worse.
It is but the developers need to be told to frick themselves for the bad performance if we're to ever have a chance of game 3 being optimized.
I haven't played the second game yet, but does Cal bang space witch pussy?
yes
He does at the end
yeah but she's uglier in the sequel
when is this shit losing the DRM
EA, so God knows when.
Imagine getting so fricking furious your garden variety Mind Trick gets upgraded to basically just causing your opponent's body to stop working and flatlining him.
Its basically a hare's breath away from Power Word: Kill at that point.
He was so fricking awesome during the rampage.
If this series doesn't end with Cal and Merrin in a new galaxy looking for the Zeffo and fricking each other and abandoning all preconceptions of good or evil I'm going to be upset.
I played the fallen order the other day and it feels like the story is going by so fricking fast. Is it worth it to finish, it didn't grab me
>and it feels like the story is going by so fricking fast
Can you elaborate on what this means?
How far did you get? Generally both stories start out big, are a bit subdued in the middle, and really kick it into gear for the last third.
>dark side Cal's force stasis lets him do what he did in that room
>meanwhile boy scout Cal's force stasis is a modest slow effect enemies can snap out of
more proof the j*di are weak cucks who hold themselves back for no reason
I watched some of Rikagay's videos and I found a new appreciation for the Star Wars setting
is he actually strong now or something?
Depends what your definition of strong is relative to how powerful Jedi tend to be. Though he does go RIP AND TEAR on a massive group of empire enemies in their own base after embracing the darkness for once and accepting that pure old jedi order stuff is shit, gone, and not going to help him with how things are
Is he "I could put up a bit of a fight against vader before getting stomped" strong or is he fodderized by him
He could not put up a meaningful fight against Disney Vader because Disney Vader is ridiculously strong when your name isn't Luke or Obi-Wan. Vader killed his master in this game and she is playable for a little bit and makes Cal look weak. But in terms of combat he's still an absolute monster.
Fallen Order Cal couldn't last 3 seconds vs Vader.
Survivor Cal could definitely put up a fight but like I said, he's not well rounded. Lightsaber to lightsaber he'd even have a chance of winning but in terms of force use during duels Vader would quickly find a way to put him down.
Hard to say. He lacks the advanced force training of a well rounded force user but balances it out with more lightsaber combat experience than most jedi had even seen in the clone wars. Considerably stronger than in Fallen Order at any rate.
He'd be much stronger as a sith.
He's racked up a downright monstrous kill count. He's killed or defeafed, just from what I remember:
An 8 foot tall Inquisitor that was a Knighted Jedi before she fell
Cere's apprentice, the third strongest Inquistor
Taron Malicos, a Jedi Master albeit with help from one young night sister
Multiple Magnaguards including a custom model (these things killed other Jedi Knights in the war)
At least 1 AT-ST by himself, on foot
Dagan 3 times, a Jedi Knight
A several hundred years old Genn'dai
Bode, another Jedi Knight and Clone War Vet that was basically the Jedi version of a glowBlack person
In combat Cal is a fricking beast, absolute monster even if you consider all optional fights noncanon but if you include those he's also fought Oggdos and Rancors on top of all that.
All that and he'd likely still get wtfpwn3d by Starkiller
Everyone fails against Starkiller. Vader Luke and the Emperor together couldn't take Starkiller.
Give me the qrd on Starkiller. Did he die? I never played his games.
Not only does he die; his death inspires the creation of the Rebellion and his family sigil is the fricking symbol of the Rebel Alliance.
And then he gets cloned back to life.
His clone then find his love and they run off to the far corner of the Galaxy. The revellion, fearing what would happen if it's revealed their martyr's clone helped them attack Kamino, keep his existence secret.
Also Vader did make a perfect clone.
Wtf
There were multiple endings, but the canon one in the EU was he died, yes. But he is just hilariously powerful. He could rip star destroyers out of the sky.
He was knighted in FO, this is years later. He's skilled in all aspects of being a Jedi and is definitely a more than proficient duelist considering how many distinct fighting styles he knows.
If Cere wasnt played by that stupid fricking Black person actress she would be a great character, and I'll be honest her fight with Vader was Kino as shit.
When you clash sabers with Vader and he reveals that you didnt even touch his sword, he's just holding you back with the full power of the force. Buckets.
Dooku would shitstomp Cal. Cal is probably Attack of the Clones Anakin level where he's clearly a prodigy but still has a lot of kinks he needs to iron out, but unlike Anakin Cal doesn't have a war and numerous Sith to sharpen his skills so this is likely his peak
Anakin let a creepy space catholic priest convince him he can't, specifically put, stop a pregnant woman from dying right when he needed someone with that level of expertise. He had sand brain.
Dooku was fearsome enough even Palpatine was kind of scared of him and avoided meeting with him whenever possible.
Dooku can 1v1 like 99% of all lightsaber users in the PT era.
Say it
It's like poetry..
planned, these movies were not
Jar Jar was a little too far.
Hey was the key
Ah, I see now! To sow discord to garner attention was the plan all along!
Absolutely brilliant!
But for real, Jar Jar is the only thing that came directly from George that still seriously bothers me (Not counting The Clone Wars show). I remember watching it in theaters and not liking him. I was like 8 at the time.
He sold Star Wars to the white slavers.
from the thumbnail i thought he had a confederate flag on his back
rate my Cal
>asymmetric lightsaber
reeeeee
Really don't look any of the swoop attachments but I do appreciate the saber coloration, is that two tone brass and the darker color in that scheme? I used the same. I honestly don't mind the stache but Cal's full beard looks the best.
Yep, pretty sure that's two tone brass but the darker color is Matte Dark Iron from the coated metal set, I liked the sintered look because I thought it would be something a jedi on the run could actually make.
I tried to make something that looks like a matchlock for the pistol style in the vein of a musketeer. That's the closest you can get with the ingame parts but I like the end result for what it is, swoop in general is awful though
white and blue is a good combo. another one that works well for Clone Wars Cal is the outrider jacket with the light shoulderpad and chestplate
meant for
Cool, I'll try that combo when I play tomorrow. I'm doing a New Game+ run of the game and also trying to get all the achievements.
Cool. I used the Shaved sides and small goatee for his hair and the Commander armor with the white base and blue highlights. Makes him look like a Clone Wars era Cal if he was older during the war. I think it fits.
Yeah. The Luge MG42
Wait he uses a fricking gun now
its one of the "styles" you get, he fights with a saber in one hand and a gun in the other.
How uncivilized
An up uncivilized style for an uncivilized time.
can you put a bryar pistol skin on the blaster? I NEED to LARP as Kyle Katarn

More people are playing it now that it's less of a buggy mess. Give any game some time and people will actually talk about it sincerely.
the entirety of the automated shitposting is focused on localization/translation and drm right now
there's even a xenoblade thread going steady
Everyone's too busy flinging shit over localizers and whether BG3's player count was botted or not.
>and whether BG3's player count was botted or not.
I'll say the same thing I did with Genshin. There's genuinely a lot to like about the game [less so with Genshin, nowadays], but it's clear it was also smartly marketed.
Anyone played on grandmaster warrior + purity for ng+? I tried to find tips on it but everything i see are just clips of using purity to cheese bosses
I think I will pick this game series up on a deep sale, are they making a third game?
I've tried to play the first game about three times now but the janky animations and bug eyed woman really turn me off. Are the later game force powers at least fun?
I've started playing TOR and I can't get over the Sith making a society. These backstabbing fricks would implode within a decade. Also my master is a fat frick which is hilarious
I've been spoiled by how good DICE battlefront 2 looks, this looks like a ps3 game in comparison
Just how bad is performance on PC? I was thinking of picking this up for the steam spring sale.
Tell me what your specs are and I'll tell you how bad it'll run. It's a stuttery piece of shit in some areas but if you've got a strong CPU you can power through most of the stuttering.
Ryzen 9 5900X and 6900 XT. I'm not interested in raytracing at all so I'd be turning that off. Hearing people with 4090s having problems scared me off at launch.
>Ryzen 9 5900X and 6900 XT
You'll be fine. A 5900x can't eliminate the stutter completely (even a 7800X3D cannot) but it's strong enough to handle the game's absurd CPU load. If you want to play at 4k60fps with your graphics card you'll have to use FSR.
>Hearing people with 4090s having problems scared me off at launch.
The launch version had utter trash performance but it's gotten better months ago, it's still not good performance and you'll still experience traversal stutter in some areas but it's noticeable in entering new areas, not really during combat and platforming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI67ey657_A
Thanks.
>A 5900x can't eliminate the stutter completely (even a 7800X3D cannot) but it's strong enough to handle the game's absurd CPU load.
so what you're telling me is that my 3600x cannot hope to cope
not like I didn't know I'm due for an upgrade but that kinda sucks, guess I'll just replay fallen order
I'm so sick of Rebels I can't stand it. All I want is a game where we play as the Empire and kick their faces in.
I want to play as the CIS.
>I want to play as the CIS.
Wow he's literally me.
Keep dreaming.
Don't worry anon, they made a game where you get to play as the Empire!
How pozzed is this one?
you play as a cool commander of the empire who is very loyal but she changes sides at 1/4 of the game and goes full rebel
Incredible. They had the ball set and still fricked up.
The actual justification for the side swap is reasonable but it's still annoying as frick they did it.
It's only annoying (and notable) because EA swore up and down that Iden wasn't going to change sides. They lied to sell the game and it breaks my heart.
Iden's theme was kino. I wish we had Imperial Agent: the game with a cool light side guy serving in a dark side system. Kind of like Early Deus Ex.
I read the book that goes with the game. Her changing sides makes no sense since she was trained from practically birth to be loyal to the Empire.
She was even at the battle of Yavin where she saw the first Death Star be destroyed. HOW DO YOU FRICK THAT UP!
If someone doesn't swap after Alderaan, they shouldn't.
It even mentions Alderaan. She had nothing but distain for the planet.
You play as the Empire for literally two missions and then betray them to join the Rebels, despite the game having heavily advertised the Imperial campaign. Also you play as a black woman.
Empire at War has you covered.
Ignore the awful campaign, and just play the co-op mode.
The biggest EaW mod team is fricking gay though. I'm amazed they could even make imperial factions that aren't nerfed to hell.
The Empire having worse units in most areas on is an issue in pretty much every mod I've played. Politics interfering with game mods is a different discussion. I just play on easy because screw bad balance. Most mods don't get it right and even end up making the AI spam dozens of fighter/bomber squadrons in the first 10 minutes of galactic conquest. A really old mod called "Absolute Corruption Mod" did balance pretty well. Been years since I played it, so I may be wrong. Rise of the Mandalorians was tolerable as well if my memory serves me correctly. Thrawn's Revenge tries to shove way too many things into a single game at once, so balance becomes really difficult whether there's intentional bias there or not. I really wish Empire at War Remake had better balance because it looks and sounds good, but fighter/bomber spam is absolutely ridiculous, and it becomes a glaring issue in skirmish with how quickly the AI will start spamming them. Really kills the framerate as well.
TR is pretty balanced, aside from how the New Republic has the best units for every single unit category in the game and the most powerful heroes by far.
Awakening of the Rebellion is also pretty balanced, I think atm the Empire has the best units.
I get the feeling Thrawn's revenge only feels balanced because shield penetration doesn't exist in it.
To be fair, I do think shields should be more of an obstacle because proton torpedos are way too ubiquitous of a weapon and Star Destroyer armor is weaker anyway. But simply making them impenetrable takes away the tactic of taking out shield generators. A special shield-penetrating proton torpedo that does less damage would be a cool addition without making regular proton torpedos useless. Once the shields are down a swam of regular bombers would still do a ton of damage. These new torpedoes would have to be on only a few units, cost a lot more, take longer to build, and not be available on most planets so you can curb the spam a bit and make them easier to track on a galactic and tactical scale. Base EAW is bad enough with the bombers crippling much larger and expensive ships with little risk and effort, and FoC base game totally destroys balance with the B-Wing and TIE Defender. A lot of mods don't do much to change this and I commend TR for doing something different.
Did they ever fix the stuttering issues?
Why is carrot top in star wars now?
So is Survivor fixed on PC yet? I have a 3080 and it was still running like absolute ass when i first tried it
It's a very CPU heavy game, if you have something like a Ryzen 3600 then it'll be a stutterfest even with a 3090ti.
well i guess i'll wait another half a year and another sale before bothering. this was only 11 days ago...
I'm not gonna pretend the game is well optimized, it's a piece of shit in that regard. But DF have a weird hateboner for it. There's lots of problems with the stutering but they hyperfixate on shit like a single frame of the sprint animation having a repeating frame if you turn the game down to 20% speed, literally nobody even noticed that before they talked about it and it's nothing compared to the real issues. There's also no video evidence they played more like an hour of it considering the areas they display in their videos, they just constantly sprint through the most stuttery area as if that's the whole game.
>well i guess i'll wait another half a year and another sale before bothering.
If you're expecting this game to run much better in a year and a half, don't. It won't. The first game also got like 12 patches and then they ended, this game will be the same and likely won't run much better than it does now.
hmm well I guess I'll just wait for a sale or gamepass then, whichever comes first. i played fallen order a few months ago and had none of the issues on PC that people are saying are still there. granted, it did crash at least 3 times over my playthrough but it wasn't a dealbreaker for me.
i just wanna play the game. its like the only enjoyable star wars media left after disney came, alongside mando s1/s2
It's on ea play pro, that's how I played it at release.
>But DF have a weird hateboner for it.
I think it's well-deserved, even though they'll meatride Alan Asleep 2 for being nearly as anti-low-spec
They're just sick of bad PC ports and the fact is that Survivor is still a really bad port, and was even more so at launch. The state that the game launched in was completely unacceptable.
>They're just sick of bad PC ports
So am I. For some reason, they'll die defending TAA and upscaling over just reigning in poly counts/texture quality and only using RT for stuff that HAS to be real-time.
>Star Rail was one of the best-looking games from last year, not even factoring in the characters
>just had a clean aesthetic and smartly controlled CPU/GPU load with loading screens
>well-deserved
It is. But they completely miss the issues.
The game's main technical frickups are
>being built on an iteration of UE4 that struggles with traversal stutter and developers lacking the knowhow to mitigate it
>absurd CPU load, recommended specs say 5600x but that should honestly be minimum specs
>raytracing not only barely being an upgrade for a substantial FPS cost but also crashing half the time during cutscenes
>overaggressive occlusion culling (the white flashes you can spot in the edges of the screen when rapidly turning in some areas)
>VRAM leaking on some AMD cards (even though it's an AMD sponsored title)
But they focus on stuff like a single frame of the sprinting animation repeating itself in the village area, or constantly sprint around that area as if that's the whole game.
What separates "unplayable mess" from "modern rendering showcase, just upgrade your PC bro", to them? Whoever's paying them?
>What separates "unplayable mess" from "modern rendering showcase, just upgrade your PC bro", to them?
I don't know. But even though I like JS it's definitely closer to the former even if it tries to be the latter. The developers' technical department are lazy fricktards who apparently never fully read the Unreal documentation. Hope they get replaced for game 3.
Thank you, random post I saw on page 0, for using my exact CPU as an example so I know not to buy this even on sale before I upgrade in a few years
Genuinely, that was a great coincidence. Have a good day
I'm speaking from personal experience, sadly.
Hope you pirated it. Buying PC ports on release nowadays is almost a guaranteed bad time
Fair warning: SSDs are basically required for this game. Hard drives make combat turn-based.
Not him, but my dad bought us both a copy since he loves Star Wars. I would've refunded this game ASAP on day one if it was my money.
Does anyone remember how the first game was on launch? I didn't really pay any attention to it back then, played it years after release and didn't have any performance issues
I would play this if the main character wasn't a ginger.
I would play this if the main character was a custom blank slate for you to customize.
Didn't this game have a shitty novel by the GTA rape lady
ACK!
>made a COD game sell worse than a [primarily] singleplayer RPG
>caused nobody to want to touch the KOTOR remake, leading to dev hell at best, and a possible cancellation at worse
>turned the latest Ratchet and Clank game into a worse version of the Phineas and Ferb OVA
Yeah, all of the action parts is just Cal and friends effortlessly butchering literally thousands of people and she tried to give Merrin a lesbian love interest that she gushes and squees about all book non-stop. I guess she thought she could control the creation process of Jedi Survivor with her bull shit.
I don't even understand how she keeps getting work, she must suck a mean wiener, all things considered. Everything I hear about her is that she's an absolutely unpleasant person and terrorizes whatever team she works with.
I don't even need to say I "hear" She's talentless either, I can see that she's objectively worthless in any field.
Why don't they just use shotguns? Jedi can't block those.
The protagnist is so unappealling I woulnt even want to touch this game even if the money wasnt going torwards making money Disney Wars.
>laugh at Black folk for being unable to immerse themselves into non-Black person characters
