Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

Looks pretty bland tbh.

My expectations were pretty low due to EA being EA, but I like Respawn, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now. Hopefully what they've shown us so far isn't the best the game can offer.

It's still not a new Jedi Academy, sadly.

Ahh, this looks similar to Jedi Academy.

Looks boring.

You can't cut off limbs with a laser sword in 2019?

I had a feeling this would be mediocre.

From what people have played of it on the E3 floor, The footage EA showed of it at their presentation it doesn't represent the game very well.

One of the gaming magazines, Informer I think it was, said a similar thing, but hearing it from the people actually at the show is more comforting. I've heard the world is far more open than it appears too.

So, as much as I'm looking forward to this game, they posted the PC requirements this week, only to get laughed at when people saw 32GB of ram as being recommended.

They quickly edited that down to something more conservative (8 minimum, 16 recommended).

I'm still holding out Respawn Entertainment does a good job of this game and doesn't let EA push for microtransaction's.

iirc the devs flat-out said there wouldn't be, so if they do add them it'd be a dick move.

Fingers crossed it's a good game either way, though.

I know that they've said it but things could still change.

And it would still be a dick move.

I will likely get it either way. A single-player Star Wars game has been a long time coming, and even if I have to wait until it hits 75% off in a digital sale, I'll likely eventually get it.

I would like to play it sooner rather than later though.

Wouldn't mind if some of Respawn Entertainment's crew eventually takes control of EA, Get the company back into a somewhat working order.

That would be cool.

So with this game only a couple of weeks away, I have to say I'm definitely on the hype-train. And not just because it's going to be available on Steam as per EA's new deal with Valve.

The gameplay looks really interesting imo, and it looks like it'll have the kind of focus on saber combat Star Wars games haven't really had since the Jedi Outcast/Academy days.

That's not saying much, to be fair.

It does look good. I like the slowness of the combat.

I wonder how long this game will be. If it's around 30 hours then I would be super happy.

So the game is out, and it looks like it's getting some pretty good reviews.

Can't wait to play it.

One estimate was about 16 hours for the story. A few more if you want to find all the hidden shit.

I can't be the only one disappointed with how you are forced into playing the most boring and generic-looking dude imaginable, right?

Why do so many games do this?

Usually, agreed. In this case though, I like the actor. Plus, points for being a ginger.

Trying to reach the widest audience possible, I imagine.

I mean, I would have liked a Jedi Academy-type species/gender selector, but then you don't get the whole "we mocapped all the actors" thing that seemed so important to them.

True; they're a dying breed.
