Fucking hell YES.

There's actually a shortcut to get above him and perform a sekiro style deathblow:
Really enjoying my time with the game, my biggest gripe I'd say is the lack of fast travel.
I love exploring and unlocking new routes in the worlds, but going back to a planet and having to retrace all my steps to get to a section I couldn't before is maddening. Some planets like Zeffo are massive, I'm kind of dreading heading back there to unlock those paths all the way in the back of the map.
And why in the world isn't there a "teleport back to Mantis" option? That'd save me a huge headache.

the holomap is one of the good things about the game, i mean you have a 3D model of the exact environment you are in...just zoom in a little and look for a route
because the game would feel much shorter if they added this option :-) it extends the playtime dramatically
The map does a lot of smart things (marking unexplored areas, places where you simply don't have the power for, and places you do), but not marking unopenable chests you've found seems like a huge oversight
You need to open the shortcuts back. It's extremely fast to get back ot the Mantis from almost anywhere.
I can't fathom people bitching about how long it takes to get around in this. It literally highlights the shortcuts for you in green. Just open them.
Keep jumping when i want to dodge, its quite funny especially fighting the frogs to see a jedi leaping around being chased.
Decided to go through my first playthrough on story mode as i want to enjoy and get comfortable first.

What does that even mean? Since when is policing how and when someone plays/discusses a game ok. Grow up.
Yeah, this is why I don't really get some of the complaints. Did people complain this much about the map and the lack of fast travel in the Metroid Prime games as well? So far, the amount of shortcuts available has made it so it doesn't really take that long to backtrack.
This game is incredibly, unforgivably buggy on Xbox. Glitches, poor performance and cutting out audio nonwithstanding - I'm several hours in and the game now hangs for me when traveling to a new planet. How'd this game pass cert?
not getting the fast travel complaints.. This is the type of game this is. Its kinda the point. I haven't had any issue finding my way back to the ship or anything.
Yeah, agreed on that part. Camera can be wonky especially when fighting multiple enemies at once.
For creatures, parry is your best bet. Parrying creatures attack at less than half health will lead to finishing strike prompt too. Even simply guarding will help immensely in combat with creatures.
Yeah, there's always a shortcut to go back to the ship, or going to a relatively far point of the map from the ship.
my perfomance issues were mainly in the beginning. a tad on zeffo. And a bunch in the first half of wookie-ville.
i made it back to zeffo and everythings seemed to calm down. And im not getting hiccups or anything anymore. for now

There's no way to know the people who are having issues have even played Metroid.
Why would you want a fast travel in a metroidvania ? also man hearing all these posts about console performance is kinda sad : | sorry for the experience you're getting guys. On pc I dialed down shadows to medium and draw distance to high, it solved the constant stuttering I was getting
Yeah, it's running beautifully on my relatively old PC too. Loading times are fast as well, 15-20 seconds on first boot, and 10 seconds max on deaths. No crash nor performance complaints from me.
I'm talking more about the large creatures that cover a ton of ground with big sweeping unblockables. It doesn't really feel consistently designed there, probably because the game doesn't apply i-frames to dodging (at least I'm pretty sure it doesn't). I dunno, a lot of the combat doesn't feel as tight as it should be.
Souls games eventually let you fast travel between bonfires. This should too imo.
Why not just have the option? It doesn't change the design. Getting back to the ship isn't "super quick" at all. It doesn't take an ass load of time but it's still annoying to have to go back through the same areas for a few minutes again. Isn't backtracking one of the things people complain about all the time in games lol?
My biggest issue is not being able to start at different points of each map when I land. Even Souls games let you pick different locations you can fast travel to.
Ah that's correct, there are no iframes at all and you also can't spam parry like you would in Sekiro, its a one time affair. Either fully block or parry, or dodge on time
you need to find the shortcut back to the ship.
You never have to "retrace all your steps", the levels are designed in a way so it sort of loops back.
I'm fine with not being able to spam parry but I want to be able to perform it from a block state. Not to stray to far into "But ACTUAL JEDI did THIS" territory but lightsaber combat is defensive in nature, attacking and countering from a block or guarded state. Having to drop guard ahead of attempting to parry just doesn't feel good. Also kinda feel like that would give more weight to the block value you're given. Not sure I have ever burned through that meter because of the way the game requires you to play.
My post implied even with shortcuts open. It's still an unnecessary annoyance. I gain nothing from having to backtrack my steps (shortcuts included).
Maybe I'm not far enough in but I haven't experienced bugs like that.
The irony of this is that he was already dead from the pull after the push snapping his neck.
My whole point is there no backtracking, take the first real planet for example. After you got your new ability, you go down to the ice cave where a cable car takes you right back to the boss fight with the walker at the mantis. 0 backtracking. A perfect circle.
I personally do not mind getting around on foot but I feel that a lot of the complaints about needing fast travel could be alleviated by having multiple landing pads on a planet.
For example, you finish up an area, clear the enemies, and they move the ship over to there. Then on future visits to the planet you could just choose where to land based on what your goals are.

But at the same time stormtroopers doing overheads can completely miss you and fuck up your parry because you moved a step or two to the left or right.
There are a handful of times where the level changes a bit during your run back, so being able to wantonly teleport back to the Mantis could hurt that. I can also think of a specific planet where you explicitly can't leave until you've progressed far enough through it. But at the same time they could just disable it during those moments. Outside of the one planet and those smaller moments I don't think it'd hurt the design of the game at all to have a button that would take you back to the Mantis.
Even there, say I want to get further back into the Imperial base in the back of the map. Once there (which takes its own time and I can't understand why we can't just pick a spawn point on the map) I still have to go back through the cave, the elevator and back to the ship. What did I gain by doing that? Just let me teleport back to the ship. Nothing valuable was added or lost.
These are both wrong. There absolutely are iframes on dodges, LOTS of iframes. It's your best tool in every combat situation and let's you play aggressively.
Zeffo is gigantic. Is this planet about the same size as the other ones, or are most of them smaller?
It artificially pads the play time, so instead of an 8 hour game it's a 14 hour game.
