i feel like there should be a thread for the new star wars game coming out that is not in cinephile, even though i haven’t decided if i’m going to get it or not

here’s a question to get us started

will this be the Good kind of AAA game (very expensive looking, good actors, delicious fast food versions of mechanics taken from more interesting games) or the Bad kind of AAA game (Uncharted’s Creed: Revenge of the context sensitive action buttons, follow the blinking light to hoover up Objectives and gain Skill Points)

its hard to say

some of the character designs are really great and look like digital muppets, others are … bad. i’m on the fence tbh!

is usually bad.
This looks bad. This will be bad.

it seems eerily similar to the situation with spider-man, which i liked. it’s not a bad model i guess but i don’t think it’s failsafe

the concept of “star wars as a souls-lite” is kind of inherently appealing but I feel like it’s probably just gonna be bad?? idk

If this is just Uncharted with a Star Wars coat of paint I will enjoy it very much sometime in the future.

Spider Man was also constantly threatening to be that little bit more flattering and tedious that would’ve edged it into “depressing expensive videogame experience” so I don’t know that I trust that as a model

I think it will be exactly what everyone is expecting it to be.

10

What is everyone expecting it to be? I feel like the coverage I’ve seen has been pretty ambivalent/confused

Or do you just mean everyone in this thread

11

I just mean like what you or anyone else expecting it to be then that’s what it will end up being. If what you’ve seen so far sounds good to you then it’ll be good, if you’re not fully convinced you won’t be when you finally play it, etc.

All we really seem to know about it is that it’s Star Wars and then “a little bit like” -insert laundry list of other popular games-.

I think I’ll like it because I like what I’ve seen of it so far even if the only “new” thing it’s doing is telling another Star Wars story stuck in-between the bigger more important Star Wars stories. I don’t think it’s going to surprise anyone other than by maybe being longer than everyone is expecting. For some reason everyone thinks it’s going to be a 5 hour game because it’s single player and not open world but like there lots of single player non open world games that you can spend dozens of hours on if that’s your thing.

i hope one of my housemates picks this up

I haven’t tried to watched anything on it, besides the trailers.

So…I have zero indication as to how this will actually play.

My expectations is that the internet consensus will be known by Black Friday if I buy it for 30 bucks + shipping to Japan.

Seems like you could slap it Star Wars: A Video Game.

Let’s talk about how Jedi Outkast PS4/Switch port has no invert axis.

17

Is the default inverted then? I was recently surprised when booting up Blood (the build engine DOS fps) when I inverted the controls before playing and they were then non-inverted. I had forgotten that back in the day the default was flight sim controls. I’m not sure when the switch occurred though.

fallen order actually looks fun except for the protagonist’s face – what a main-character-from-a-YA-novel-looking asshole
