This is the average comment and poster you can find on ERA.
Seek help, really.
Given how positive practically all the press for this game has been, I'm somewhat surprised some of you keep pushing the negativity.
This and Death Stranding seem to have a built-in audience of people with fully engorged hate-ons locked and loaded, regardless of how well they are critically received.
You know, it really is becoming the norm on here and that is very unfortunate.
Ah...that good old ERA bubble. Luckily the impressions imply the exact opposite and its shaping up to be a potential GoTY contender. If Death Stranding is divisive asf, it could even take GoTY given its mass appeal
Super excited to finally get my hands on this. Dark Souls + Metroid + Uncharted, wrapped in a Star Wars skin, is extremely my jam
The initial reveal of this game didn't do much for me but the newer game play videos sold me on this big time. Definitely excited
Imagine living that life.
Imagine having this take.

I just want a playable demo. Nothing is more boring than reading the press all regurgitate the exact same talking points about games before release. I want to know how it actually feels to play in the moment so I can know if it's worth my time.
I'm not against demos (I love them) but generally speaking we seem well past the point of getting them for most games. That said, subscribing to EA Access for a month could greatly mitigate the financial risk if you want to play it and see for yourself.
Nice, looks like its eligible for Best Buy's pick up the night before program, so I can snag my copy at 9pm eastern the night before the release date.
Pretty sweet alternative to a midnight launch

That's unfortunate, maybe explains why I've been finding that I've been visiting this site less and less recently
Imagine waking up.
"Hmm, what should i do today, i'll probably watch The Mandalorian"
first episode finishes,, "time to boot up Jedi Fallen Order"!
:D Sounds like a fun time.

I can't keep my hype in check! It doesn't help that my brother wants to play Battlefront 2 every day during the weekend with me. I do have exams on the 18th of December when TROS releases here. :(
Eh, unless I could get a free month, probably not. I really don't like subscription services.
I wish developers were confident enough in their games to LET us try them and decide for ourselves if they're worth buying, rather than always going "trust us" and having the press just parrot the same five or six PR-approved talking points in every article regardless of the website.
One day you will find happiness, person who refers to themselves as LoNe_eXiLe.
Great, should be a fun time!
Wet farts aren't normally underwhelming, kinda alarming to be honest.

It being designed heavily based on Souls progression has me depressed, but I can't say I'm not looking forward to a quality Starwars 3rd person action game. It does look great, and I'm full expecting a 83+ MC game, will probably rank as one of the best Starwars game made. Thanks to the team at Respawn .
The game has a classic skill tree, it's not exactly "Souls progression".
I'd say probably $45 for most retailers. If it had an October release date I could totally see $30.
Making a demo does take away from development of a game. And there's gonna be plenty of reviews to read and watch to get an overall feel of the game as well as user scores. And I don't find it odd that the press often come to similar conclusions about the game.
They've also described the combat as being responsive and fluid in nearly all the previews despite the awkward looking animations at times if you're worried about controls. However, I did see a few saying the platforming might not be as tight as the combat. Ofc all previews are based on limited time with the game so take it as that. And even if they released a demo, I don't see it being as long as what the previewers got.
Oh ok, cheered me up a little. I heard there's camps and exp loss of you die? Hope all that is optional of true. Prefer the classic way of progress, don't mind Respawn making the combat more challenging though.The game has a classic skill tree, it's not exactly "Souls progression".
Yeah, I don't really care about or trust the press anymore. Not because I think they're biased or anything, but every press preview sounds identical nowadays, and they don't actually tell me how the game feels in your hands. It's always top-level marketing-driven discussions of games hitting SEO-aligned buzzwords to ensure maximum engagement.
As an example, press people said Assassin's Creed Origins/Odyssey combat is "responsive" and then I played it and the combat was boring, bland and repetitive for dozens of hours despite making up the bulk of the game's content. People raved for MONTHS about Horizon and that game bored me half to death in minutes.
There's no real way to be sure if you'll enjoy a game's flow without trying it for yourself, and the barrier to entry for that is basically just "buy the game at full price, no refunds lol" nowadays.
Not optional, but I guess it doesn't sound that bad. Especially on lower difficulties where the chances of you dying are smaller.
Ehh...I'd say the controls are responsive in AC Odyssey but I agree that the combat is bland after spending dozens of hours with the game. I think if the game's AI was more aggressive and changed things up more, the combat would have been more interesting.
But as far as identical conclusions are, I think thats just part of people natually picking up on similar pros and cons in a game despite the fact previewers are sharing their own thoughts on it. Its hard for the press not to unanimously call this a Metroidvania with Souls like elements when thats ultimately what it is based on their time with it. How it holds up beyond those 3 hours remains to be seen.
