Today’s Game is Jedi Survivor. I keep nearly typing that as Fallen Order. Old habit I suppose from typing the name so many times while working to 100% it.
Anyways. I made my way through the Forest Array. I just want to say thank god for the fast travel in this game. Makes getting around so much easier. I do feel there’s been a sense of accomplishment lost from it, but I can fully accept that’s on me and I’m not being forced to fast travel.
The gliding that got introduced im a little mixed on. It’s a fun idea but it does feel a little like a patch for what the first game had for the level design. Not any sort of deal breaker though. It’s a fun mechanic I like. The mounts too with how it’s moving to be a little more open of an open world.
Anyways. Finally, Dagan Gera. I like him. He feels like a Sephiroth type. Won’t go into any spoilers but I had fun taking pictures of him. Technically the shadow cast by the lightsaber is impossible I think, but that’s okay. I like how it casts a shadow over his eyes. I was playing with the spotlights too while doing this so I feel like that produced some really stellar screenshots.
as someone who doesn’t play modern games (most recent i usually play are ds/3ds games), the state of 3d/cgi these days is incredible. if you had asked me to tell you if the first image you posted was from a game, I wouldn’t have been able to.
wow.
It’s definitely incredible when done right. I do think the photo mode in games cheese it a little, as I’m sure they done some fancy magic with rendering, but I still see some amazing stuff come out of modern games
not as good as the first one imo. new combat styles is a cool idea, but being limited to two at a time just means I’m always going to use the two that I already know from the first game, because figuring out how to use a new one inherently means failing more often, which just feels not fun in the moment. really wanted to like the crossguard style, but it’s unbearably slow
I enjoyed the game itself but it was very unstable for me on my Linux PC with an AMD gpu. From what I could find that’s a common issue, but I guess it speaks for the quality of the game that I still completed it by quickly moving from savepoint to savepoint and restarting each time.
I still think Jedi Survivor was the better game altogether. There’s a lot of criticism about missing quicktravel, but honestly I enjoyed having to traverse the levels to your target and back to the spaceship, it felt more like a cohesive adventure.
I can’t recall, was this the issue specifically related to RX 6000 series cards? I was halfway through the game when I happened to upgrade my GPU by chance, only later learning it was a problem for fhat gen
I didn’t research for to long since several of the supposed fixes (that many people in the threads said didn’t work anyways) were changing settings in Windows/AMDs windows software, but I was using an 7900XTX so that is definitely affected as well
I have an all AMD Linux rig and it sounds like to me I dodged a bullet. I’m relieved about that.
And yeah, I think you put how I feel into words far better with the quick travel. It feels far more cohesive and meaningful, like in a way you were more in tune with Cal and experiencing the trip too
Yeah, I love those few rpgs where quick travel just doesn’t exist, or at least only in a diegetic way (Gothic 1 + 2 comes to mind). “Just don’t use it” doesn’t cut it most of the time, since the game designers need to be forced to make the game actually fun while having to walk everywhere.
That first image is insane and no lightsaber pic? We were robbed.
I’ve actually got a lightsaber pic somewhere on a previous post
Unless you mean the one with Dagan, in which case I don’t have a picture of just the saber, but I do have a full body shot I took.
Idk why but I fuckin loved Dagan as a character and his design as a one-armed lightsaber-wielding powerful Force-user. He kicked so much ass and was super compelling imo. In fact it’s kinda made me want to actually check out the High Republic stuff.
When fighting him it made me stop and go “I really want to go back and play KoTOR”. It might be a future stop I make.
Also him missing an arm is fucking bad ass. I really hope they don’t give him a prosthetic or anything because the lack of symmetry in his design makes it so much more memorable. Plus coming off of Fallen Order I feel like he pulls off the “Fallen Jedi” thing better than what’s-his-face working with Merrin
Honestly all the villains in this one are incredibly strong. Way better than the first imo
I would really like to play this game, but the combination of the EA launcher and Unreal Engine with Proton means that Steam shows 3 hours played, when I actually have maybe 20 minutes in game 😮💨
Ironically this is the first game I don’t have an issue with the EA Launcher. I don’t know if it’s proton GE or somehow someway EA fixed an issue (Probably proton GE) but it actually closes when I tell it too
I must be in hell. It was 39C today and EA is giving me blue balls. I’ve tried every proton version I can think of. Which distro are you using? I’m also crashing in other games, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s a problem with Linux Mint.
