The
second tomb
I haven't kept up cause I haven't started the game so I don't want to see much. What's the vibe here, is it amazing? What difficulty should a video game master like me play at. (ok ok I just usually play games on hard but I don't want impossible).
You're right, ha! I'll edit it just in case the spoiler is a problem.
The parry timing on Nightbrothers is fucking impossible. They ALWAYS hit me no matter what I do. I don't understand at all.
It's not perfect (should go without saying, no game is) but it's pretty great. Top tier level design and storytelling/cutscenes. Solid presentation and combat. It's everything you want in a Star Wars game. Play on the 'Hard' difficulty, one up from the default difficulty

For sure. I should be able to teleport to bonfires a la DS3
start on hardest and if it is too much drop down to second highest. but hardest is manageable with a few tricky sections.
Orange came with the deluxe version I think. That or preorder bonus. Idk which but I have it.
It's not too hard, just practice on some next to one of the bonfires and you should get the timing down pretty quickly.
The answer to this is a spoiler. All I'll say is that it is possible to get other colors. In fact I think it is possible to get orange without the deluxe edition/preorder
Yeah, no deluxe or preorder here. Just bought it at my local game shop, so no extra colors yet. Sigh.
No way man...thatd what i have and it runs silky smooth. Stuttering issues aside. Put it on 4k and enable dynamic resolution.
I'm still early on, but it's okay
Jedi is pretty much a combination of parts made from better games, like Uncharted and Stig's own God of War 3. Nothing really stand out as top notch. The combat, level design, enemy encounters are all fine, but not exciting.
The levels have nice sense of scale, but as others have mentioned, backtracking is a major issue. There are plenty of alternate paths to take, but the collectibles either involve the usual boring text logs (why are we still doing this) or underwhelming customization items that have no bearing on the gameplay.
The combat looks and sounds great, but lacks the precision and weight of similar action games. The controls and mechanics are almost there, but the overall feeling is loose enough to be less satisfying than the games it tries to emulate.
The combat scenarios are the biggest bummer so far. 80% of the combat so far has involved fighting various forms of wildlife. Were it not for the lightsaber, I could have confused this for a Monster Hunter spin-off. Fighting against brain dead Stormtroopers hasn't been very exciting either. The repetition is even worse when you consider that resting at the "Bonfires" respawn all enemies in the area, which not only is nonsensical, but makes the issues with backtracking even worse.
From what I can tell, this seems very much like yet another open-ended action game that would have been better going with a more linear approach.
I'm actually surprised how well it is running for me. RDR2 had me scared that my 1070 loaded PC was down for the count, but I'm getting above 70 FPS with all settings maxed except Shadow Quality. I'm on 1440p as well.
it gets much more linear later on, Zeffo is kind of misleading. later on it is "take route a and on second visit route b"
This is good to know. If Zeffo is as bad as it gets, then maybe I'll finish this after all. Thanks!
Focus on breaking their guard meter! Utilize all your tools and always remember - when in doubt, block.
For those that are beating the game in 20 hours or under are you at 100% with everything or did you just follow the main quest until you finished?
I am finding exploring is a lot of fun and trying to find all the hidden items and areas. For example, I spent a good 4 hours or so on the 2nd planet you go to (the one with the Snow..dont remember the name). When I completed the Tomb and made it back to the ship, I clicked on the planet to see how much I explored and said it was only 36% and that was being there for about 4 hours. I was only at 40% or so on the first planet and went back to it after the 2nd planet and spent another 1 hour or so exploring and still only at 82% or so.
I think this game is really long if you are trying to find everything/explore the worlds 100%....well at least for me it will.

Is there any resolution scaling? If not how well does the dynamic resolution work?
I tv has gone a bit busto so i can only run games at 4k, i would love to play this at 60 fps but i know my 1080 will not be able to deliver that.

holy fuck I've only seen one Star Wars movie so I have no attachment to the series, this game is amazing though
Ok the trophy to 100% complete all map will be annoying. Got all chest and secret in the refinery but I'm sitting at 96% explored... no clue what I'm missing.
Console performance is just dreadful across the board, there's absurd pop-in and the HDR implementation is weak. The technical performance here is just so poor.
the original trilogy still holds up, even if its basically impossible to watch it without the shitty special edition stuff
just the critical path
yeah it is amazingly mediocre
I find the writing, characters and overall story really bland, with Cal in particular being a real charisma void. Some of the quips he has as you run around the level sound like they recorded him literally just reading them off the page for the first time, not even in character. And every now and then he slurs a line in a way that's really reminiscent of Hayden Christensen as Anakin.
Buuuut, when *MID-GAME CHARACTER SPOILER* Trilla shows up? Mmf, now we're talking. That girl is living her best life. I wish I was playing as her instead :P

The combat feels like a clunky attempt to imitate God of War. So many instances you dodge and the enemies are spinning in place tracking and attacking you. Doesn't feel anywhere near as dynamic (or satisfying for that matter) as God of War. The hits with the lightsaber don't even feel like they have any impact.
Game is decent. It's nice looking. But the gameplay itself is super flawed to me.
Getting tracked by enemies even after you slow them is some horseshit.
Game is great so far! However these post death respawn load times are unacceptable. Hopefully those are being fixed
Are you swinging back and forth with the stick to gain momentum?
I'm dying so much more to the shitty platforming than anything. The fucking ice/hill sliding segments are fucking garbage, and the platforming is so floaty feeling and not precise, like the above mentioned rope shit.
Yeah, and the fact that you can jump "off" a side ledge instead of it stopping you is serious bullshit. All that does is force the player to take twice as long to climb to avoid stupid deaths. Great idea, make the tedious shit take longer.
Yup. Exploring is fun, and I always try to find as much as I can before going back to the ship each time. 15 hours so far and I've only been to 3 planets (even though I've gone back to 2 of them due to story reasons), and there's still that one planet unexplored. It'll probably take 25 hours or more for me until I'm done with the game. I don't want it to end.
Why? If you want to be sure, always take a back swing once to generate the momentum forward.
One of the few complains I have with the game thus far, they're so bad.
I'm still loving this game, but hopefully in a sequel they expand on the RPG stuff a little more. This is very rpg lite with the skill tree and some cosmetics, but with all the backtracking and exploration just for cosmetics is a little tedious. I want more individual gear customization with maybe some stats associated with it. Light saber customization I felt could have included some stats, ex: A part that gives +5% chance for critical damage or something like that.
I'm loving this trip back to Zeffo for the second Jedi Tomb. With Trillain my ear talking shit and chewing scenery, and all these unprotected ledges over bottomless pits to gleefully Force Push dudes off, I'm having a hell of a time. Highpoint of the game so far.
Exactly. Have not had one issue with the rope swinging...it is intuitive and easy..not sure how some find it difficult.
I think I am about 15 hours or so. Did the 1st planet at 86% or so, 2nd planet where the first Tomb is at about 36% or so. Still a lot of game left for me.
Hmph that's odd then. I believe everyone's complaints here but I personally haven't fallen off a rope once yet. Maybe I've been lucking out. I also have found the platforming easy but maybe just years of Prince of Persia have paid off...
