Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order |OT| Respawn of the Jedi
- Thread starter janusff
- Start date
The game was stuttering like hell when I decided to go back to the first planet near the end of the game. Like really really obvious drops during fights. But I still stuck with performance mode lol.
Got to the Zeffo homeworld.. I know I'm early on but so far this game is just straight-up boring. Like when does the story or combat get good?
I'm not clicking with the combat system at all. Personally I don't feel the enemies, even mid-tier ones like those fucking ramming goats, telegraph their moves well and playing on Hard gets me slaughtered in like 3 hits. :( Might need to turn down the difficulty.
Ive tried several configs now and keep reseting. Maybe the original settings are best anyways...
Theres an AI issue on this game. I am on master difficultly and many Times enemies would stand there without attacking.
to make the game feel longer than it is. it adds significantly to the overall playtime. i also don´t know what the game gains from those "back to the ship" or "go back to planet a, run route a again till the point where you can go to route b" treks.
they have taken so many things from Rise of the Tomb Raider, should have also taken the fast travel points
i´ve had 2 or 3 stormtroopers t-posing later on, they were just standing there
for real, you gain more combat options but the tropey story is mediocre like the whole game

The aggression meter is controlled by difficulty. Even on master it's only half full compared to grandmaster
R1 attack
R2 force attack
Triangle slow
Square push
leave everything else.
I hope they patch out the way the camera fights you when you try and look up while climbing a wall. I want to look up, bro! You point the camera up and a second later it insists on pointing straight back down at you again, like it doesn't want you to see what's coming.
Eh, think I'm done with this. It's no fun, I'm on Zeppo or whatever and trying to keep going through the same sequence of through the factory, up the hill, pop up instant rats, force slow platforms, drop to scout troopers that don't know I'm there until I am in front of them. While being mobbed I am attacked by a stormtrooper with a cannon who doesn't care about his mates and in the horizon there are a bunch of rapidly moving platforms that look like they're a lost artifact from a bad Mario knock off with a load of opportunities for me to fall off the ground before I even get there.
I'm done, too. Just watched the rest of the game on Youtube. Huge disappointment for me.
What happened with these wookies, man? They need some shadows and blacks in that fur. Awful.
I have:
R1: Attack
R2: Force attack
L1: Block
L2: Slow
Square: Pull
Triangle: Push

Alright, finished it at 100% in 27 hours in Grandmaster but I truly took my time overall. Felt like a really great Star Wars game, I'll replay it down the line in Jedi Master to just have some silly fun with the force and combat. Was pretty good !

It's weird as I've just stopped even searching for things now which is my favourite thing in any game but in this there is just no point. It's always a poncho that makes Cal look ginormous.
Imagine if there were things to level up your lightsaber and when you had 0/10 of them it makes it more powerful etc.
Also I've sort of stopped using force powers as half the time I press the button and nothing happens as I don't know how much force I even have until the combat UI comes up. By that time I realise I don't have any and internally sigh.
It definitely has a good 'feel' to it as I'm still playing it but at the same time it is ULTRA floaty and hitting enemies just isn't fun - not much seems to break animation frames - especially with the random spiders and animals - they just do hard to see hits and you end up just dodge hit dodge hit forever.
I know it's nothing like Sekiro and not on the same level but in that I felt like a god and in this I feel like a gangly giraffe with a laser beam sword.

Not an AI issue but a design choice. On Grandmaster they are super agressive, which is definitely challenging.
Have you tried turning off cloud saves in Origin? Helped massively for me!
when you are lost and you end up in a secret is disappointing because its only a cosmetic and you are still lost.
in other "metroidvanias" getting lost and finding secret gear its great and usually benefits the game. this is one of the games negatives
Any body know how to get that thing up there?
I already have, just in case it is necessary.double jump
Go through the area like you normally would. When you exit the tunnel area, instead of going up the path to the right, cut down the poles infront of you and jump down onto the moving platforms.
this game doesn´t deserve the term "Metroidvania", it is a pseudo Metroidvania at best.
yeah, you get a few items, go back to a planet and open a way that was locked before...mostly to get some cosmetics...how exciting.
the few times the game does that for the story it doesn´t feel Metroidvania because the target destination is always marked on the map and it is more like "you have taken route a on first visit now take obvious route b"
in this game the ultralight Metroidvania aspects only exist for padding and nonsense.
What the fuck, I just came across
on Zeffo, I died, and then instead of respawing my screen went completely black, so I had to quit out the game and load it back up again, only to find I'm in a completely different place
what the hell happened during that black screen.
Bing
some kind of prison?
Reminds me of the slow and boring way we had to watch our ship physically fly to the location we picked out on the map in Mass Effect Andromeda and come to think of it the same designer on that is on this game. Someone needs to learn to kill their babies.
People talk about it being dark souls esque. But I think sure while it has some design elements in line with a souls title. It's missing the soul/experience and unravelling nature or the story through discovery. It's a lot more like the new God Of War. I guess that kind of draws some inspiration from souls as well. But I think it's probably the closest comparison game I can think of.
The game runs pretty bad on PS4 pro sadly. It's gorgeous. But I'd sacrifice some graphics to get more stability. I know there's a performance mode, but it's a bit too much of a resolution sacrifice for me on a 65" TV.
I probably should have got it on PC. But I'm short on cash and can resell the PS4 copy.

You prematurely jumped the gun thinking your game crashed. That's a forced encounter you're scripted to lose and get captured, it's not a death.
Is it just me or is the loading in this game some of the worst in recent memory on current consoles? If you die you can expect to easily wait about a full minute to reload. This is on ps4 pro with a ssd drive I put into it too.
Yeah I figured that was the case, but I still couldn't see anything, I only had a black screen. I still had audio and could hear Cal grunting.
It's supposed to be black. He's unconscious. That's part of the sequence.
Yes you will go there as part of the story eventually, but it's worth going there early once.
i´ve had between 8seconds to maximum 35 seconds, sometimes when dying in the same spot, it is inconsistent...also Pro with SSD
it feels dated, when someone told me this is a 2014/2015 game i would believe it. the areas have an artificial feel to them like they were explicitly made to wallrun here and grab a ledge there and not a natural environment, it is gamey in a bad way.
I'm coming up to the end and I'm so sad about that, this is a clear GoTY for me. I've loved every second of it, Respawn did an amazing job.
It does, but the path needed to get there isn't clear, especially on Zeffo where there are seemingly a hundred different entrances and exits
