Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order: • Star Wars Jedi: Fallen...
The hype leading to the release of Jedi Survivor was through the roof. My friends and I couldn’t stop talking about it, there were advertisements everywhere, and it was clear to me that many were hopeful of the new release, but then it did. Top of the line gaming machines couldn’t run the game above 60 fps, and consoles were struggling to maintain 30 at times. Pair this with numerous crashes, a DRM that was so intrusive it had prevented players who bought the game from playing it, and we have the perfect storm capable of ravaging the games reception, and Respawns reputation.
I cannot understate the calamity that fell upon this game. Many critics outrighted begged their viewers to not purchase the game, Twitter was on fire with people airing their grievances, and it felt like it was impossible to go long without hearing of Jedi Survivors Tragic release. But why is it a tragedy? Well, if we look underneath the slideshows and shitty textures, we will see a game that is a perfect sequel. One that built off of everything its predecessor achieved. One that creates a satisfying story and contains heartfelt moments. One with tight and reliable gameplay. And one that will never see the light of day. Because like other abhorrent releases, the bad press around Survivors launch is a tumour that outweighs its host. Throughout this video we will look at all the ways Survivor is a good game, not as a means of defending the launch, that’s indefensible, but to show how clear it is, through every well made aspect of this game, that Star Wars Jedi Survivor… is a tragedy.
What is a good sequel? Previously I have defined it as a game that builds upon the gameplay, presentation, and story of its previous entry, expanding the world and what you can do in said world. I still use that definition as a guideline, but the reality is that what defines something as a good sequel is the experience, and aww man, was Star Wars Jedi Survivor an experience. A perfect sequel is not entirely about ticking boxes and improving every minute aspect of a game. Even if that’s part of the equation, the other half, the one I’ve often neglected, is the heuristic and subjective experiences that influence what a sequel must satisfy; notably, when I analyse a sequel, I have to ask, what expectations have been set?
Star Wars is a series with many good releases, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order being among them. Star Wars Jedi Survivor on the other hand, not so much. The Tragedy of Star Wars Jedi Survivor will be discussed and explained in this Star Wars Jedi Survivor review, Star Wars Jedi Surivor critique, and Star Wars Jedi Survivor analysis. This will build off of my Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order review and my Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order critique, and Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Analysis. I will. assume you have seen my Jedi Survivor review, as it will be referenced within this Jedi Survivor critique, which is part of a larger Star Wars retrospective. This Star Wars analysis and Star Wars critique will include more games eventually. Within this potential retrospective, I will determine what the best Star Wars game is. This video will compare Jedi Fallen Order VS Jedi Survivor. - Ігри

I saw your vid in my side feed. Too much of this game is badly designed that you can't blame EA for it, and I do not mean performance because I played it patched on PC and it ran smooth. The devs just made a bad game. There was already too much bad design in their first game with the time wasting traversal. The worst thing is we may not get another force-using game for many years. The Outlaw game looks like a TERRIBLE waste. Finally a Star Wars open world (possibly open galaxy) game, but it is a limited little bitch. The really old 1st person Jedi Outcast is still the best SW action game so this franchise has been very mismanaged even before Disney.
Me after defeating oggdo boggdo: yippee what a challenging early boss
Me after defeating spawn of oggdo: I will burn your entire bloodline to the ground you demon
Can’t wait for the finale with Oggdo supreme
This is why we need a third ogdo
@@jessemach5817 the third ogdo is force sensitive. wait why am I giving respawn ideas.
@@criscris428 At the end you unlock a secret boss fight with all three Oggdos with the best AI in the game, full unblockables and all their attacks are one shots
there are always 2 oggdos, just like the sith code.
It kinda sucks it has such bad performance issues, I seriously loved the story, honestly and I love the characters.
@WildWoldGod how is the gameplay?
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674it’s amazing, new skills which are useful, stances which are so badass.
What did you play on? I was on PS5 and while there was glitches I never had a drop in my frames, I’ve heard lots of pc users complaining but I figured most probably didn’t have the right hardware.
@zasque8302 Played on Xbox, had only 1 or 2 crashes playing through with a minimal amount of any in game perfkrmance issues during the story but definitely felt that crashes became more frequent doing side content.
No issues here. Played on PC 5600x / 3060 ti...On 4K epic settings with rtx off and was constantly getting 60 fps with just an occasional frame drop. Loved every second of it. Amazing story..
It really felt like a star wars movie.
36:00 Funny story. So on Koboh, sometimes you DO get a Rancor roaming around instead of a regular patrol. And in NG+, if you activate the Warrior perk, they let Spawn of Oggdo out his hole to go for a walk. As far as I'm aware this only happens after you beat the game, but MAN did I get a heart attack on seeing Spawn of Oggdo going for a walk.
fr bro i got jumpscared
same
Literally I was running around koboh the other day trying to get 100% for the area and went “is that a fucking rancor”
I honestly thought it was just a glitch. Cause I fought him with ease
I once witnessed oggdo take out an entire imperial squad alongside an ATST and 4 droidekas. It didn't even lose a 3rd of it's health...... that thing is from hell
Was worried about the Vader fight initially, but they did it justice. Only boss I died multiple times against.
Especially helps that you get to mow through hoards of elite troops, experiencing how powerful Cere is, before you get to die against Vader. Really sells it.
Did you not struggle against Ravis like at all?
I didnt struggle too much with it. Also, I think they should have made it so he didnt have so much visible damage after the fight, since I dont think Cere is nearly as powerful as she would need to be to deal that much damage.
@commander8625 I think it makes sense, Vader paid twice for being cocky in that fight, the final phase is basically him strapping his boots and getting to it. It's the classic "arrogance is your downfall" except Vader is the only sith who knows when it's time to stop fucking around.
@@retro2323 no way these are real people. Rayvis and tanalor man took me probably 2 hours each to beat in their final forms. Vader was by far the easiest its like the parry times were tripled and cere did way to much damage
One of the things I like most about Survivor is the implication of Cal continuing to work with Saw, even though I'm a bit disappointed we don't get to see it. It's clearly no coincidence that Saw was using Jedha as his base in Rogue One and I love that.
I hope we get to do missions for Saw and talk to him in a 3rd game.
Why was that opening so well done 😭💀
Cuz aqua is a certified G
Him
it made me feel young again
Dope sick narration right?
Some questions are better left unanswered
I played right at launch on PS5 and didn’t notice toooooo many issues, and it got patched pretty quickly. I couldn’t wipe the dumb grin off my face during the drill sequence with Merrin, and the excitement of beating the Rancor after like an hour of trying was amazing because it felt like I did it purely off skill and not because I got lucky. Definitely one of my favorite games ever
The game had massive issues tho
@@inyourgranmaass3605 True but still a great game. I played on PS5 as well and never faced issues that wanted me to stop playing.
@@Gimli8621me as well. Played launch day on PS5 but didn’t see any noticeable issues when I played through it and especially after the patch
I played at launch on ps5 too, only issue I had was the game crashed while in an elevator on coruscant, once. Nothing else. And I played a lot!
@@inyourgranmaass3605The game was so good to me that the bugs were minor annoyances
The bode twist was special because of the fact that I saw it coming, I think the secondary twist that he was actually a force wielded blew my mind even more
I was lucky enough to avoid any major performance issues beyond some stuttering before leaving Coruscant. I feel so bad for everyone who didn't get lucky though.
I played it on day one on PC. I have a 5800x and RTX 3070 and I had barely 40 fps on low settings with Ultra Performance FSR on Coruscant (1440p). Most of the game was dogshit performance wise and I was lucky when I hit 50 FPS and I only got to actually finish the game 2 weeks ago (performance still sucks but at least I get minimum 40 on medium settings) The story was great but I won't touch the game again until the performance is * actually * fixed
i was on p5. no casualties at all. i also paid it in june tho
@@arftrooper44 I tried playing it with a RTX 4080 and a ryzen 9 7950 and I had about 10 crashes in the same spot so I gave up on it and I am so dissapointed that I won't pick it up again.
@@Bearodon on launch or recently? I played it a week ago and it was a stable 50 fps experience
@@Ayyshaddyi got it on sale about two weeks ago and while the game is very playable at 60fps, there are visual bugs literally the entire time. Every single time (without exception) you unpause the game, the world streams in a second later. I see white flashing where objects aren't loading every time I move the camera. Its bizarre, never seen anything like it. No crashes or anything though.
I also like to think Kata is going to have her own games after Cal's story ends
Shes a jedi's daughter, so she has big chances of being force sensitive, and now that shes basically Cal and Merrins adopted daughter...
Imagine if she is trained as both a jedi AND a nightsister by her new caretakers. Honestly having Merrin teleport around everywhere feels almost like a tease by the developers
God it reminds me if what could have been with the Jedi Knight series. You go through these games with Kyle Katarn, in the third you then get to play as Mara Jade. I the 5th you get to play as Jayden. It's such a great idea to just pass through the games and transition to new characters and stories.
@@bleppybooi love Jedi Academy. Though i wish you could have more races in character creation menu, i still love how many planets we had in singleplayer, we even got Coruscant and Dooku's/Vader's/X1's Castle on Vjun, and not to mention force powers and lightsaber combat which you also can combine with sheer arsenal (and actually aim in 3rd person🗿). I wish this game had a sequel.
I doubt that would happen. It heavily focuses on Cal. If he dies, I see the ending of the game series
@@alexwegner9614 its not like series gonna get more than 3 or 4 games at best.
@@mrzirak792 it may be a game trilogy, it may be more than a trilogy. We'll find out in the future.
I played through this entire game thinking the whole time "This is *exactly* what I wanted from a sequel"
Shame about the performance people experienced.
Really hamstrung what was a genuinely good game.
My favorite small detail from the game are the force echoes post main story. You can revisit old locations and find a bunch of echoes of Bode plotting behind your back and then subsequently Cal's thoughts on the matter. My favorite is revisiting the Imperial Base where you can sense force echoes OF YOURSELF and have Cal realise just how far he had lost it in his rampage.
I think the reason Bode killed Cordova specifically is because he was the only one who studied the compasses, and not only that, but bode was basically his trusty assistant everytime he needed help
Also at least to me he was expected to still be alive as when talking about how the empire questioned her before the game started she says that “they wanted to know about cordova and where he went”. Which to me at least showed that he was alive and as I enjoyed his character in the first game I was happy when you find him on jedha and heartbroken when Bode killed him causing me to feel the anger that cal felt
Waited a month or two to play this on Series S, so glad I did. Minimal issues, loved every second.
Cal now overtakes Starkiller as my personal favourite “After Rise of Empire but before the Battle of Yavin” Jedi.
As per usual, excellent video dude. I agree the game launched pretty badly. That’s inexcusable, but all we can do now is wait and hope the publishers pay heed and notice how the backlash affected this game.
They didn't fix performance on any console with patches.
@@whodatninja439they don't say it in the notes but my game runs 5x better on my ps5, I rarely see it drop under 55fps
@@whodatninja439 its night and day on ps5 now. pc is still a mess because they treat it as a second class platform
@@barrysmithhy1583 no it still runs like shit with screen tearing and ugly upscaling. And i have it on ps5
@@whodatninja439 your ps5 needs an RMA then
I've had no issues on PC. Loved the game. Played through twice. Ryzen 5950x, 64GB DDR4 RAM, 3070TI, and 1TB NVME.
i love jedi survivor... i just wished it had another year of dev time for polish
To give you an inkling on how good this game really is I had my Grand Master save get corrupted at 49 hours in.
I had to restart the whole game and I did because the story, combat and exploration is just that good.
I played it on ps5, minor issues and I love this game. Still playing it, so much to do, never bored.
I really like how throughout the game with most major bosses Cal really tries to talk them down, but also shows no hesitation when they dont back down.
Holo tactics wasn't as random as you make it seem. It's honestly a decent mini game and I can't wait for them to improve aping it in the 3rd installment. Great review by the way.
Why not implement it in the sequel tho?…
I was having a problem with holo tactics trying too get that trophy I kept on getting my #£€ kicked and till I finally figured out I had the droids destroyers the droids with 3 legs and a forcefield just having 3 of them on or 2 will absolutely destroy your opponent they are the best
In all honesty I love this game it might be my favourite star wars game right next to the force unleashed. The gameplay was improved substantially with the use of different stances(my favourite being the dual wield) and force abilities. The story might be a bit more mixed but personally I really enjoyed it, can't wait for the sequel. Couldn't wait for a video covering this game, good job Aqua.
I had almost no glitches throughout my entire platinum run, I no others did but for me this game was stupendous i loved every minute of it even if the traitor reveal was obvious.
i did not personally have performance issues, so i loved it
sucks that performance issues ruined it for many people
So is it fix?
I actually really liked playing holotactics. It was really fun and wasn't random for me at all. I could always play the same thing and consistently get the same results. But maybe i just got lucky (:
In all honesty, and even as rude as jt sounds, not being great with the Crossguard is more or less a skill issue. It’s a great stance for players who are patient, and it ends up being far better than every other stance if you are willing to wait.
Not sure it’s far better but it’s definitely viable in one v ones the problem lies in the gank fights
The game is honestly one of my favorites in all of star wars, i just hate that it got treated the way it did over something that shouldn’t have been a problem
25:30 This boss seems to me like an homage to Durge from the animated clone wars 2003 series by Genndy Tartakovsky. Obviously there are some design differences, but the worm-y and gross regenerating body hidden under the armor looks veryyyy familiar. Just a nice little touch I thought I'd highlight for anyone curious
He’s the same species as Durge called a Gen-Dai
He's the same species as the comment above said, but he's basically just Durge if he got caught by Jedi rather than Mandalorians. AKA a more sane Durge.
im still playing jedi survivor and im loving it tbh. it has such a good story.
I bought and played through the game on launch, I crashed 3 times over 110 hours in the first two weeks. My GTX1080 that’s almost a decade old had almost no issues, I ran into no bugs (besides the occasional funny graphics issue outside of cutscenes) and had a blast. The frame rate was the only thing that tanked, but I’m used to playing games at 40 FPS back in the day. The game was great, I have no idea how people with computers 5x more expensive than me had so many issues.
5x the price 5x the nit picking
I always saw people saying cross guard was their least used style but honestly, I used it probably second most. Shit goes crazy. You really do just need to know how to use it.
Kudos to the bad ass editing job. Especially that trailer-like cut around the 11-13 minute mark.
I think my favorite part was all the memory points you can find after beating Bode that gives you context to what he was thinking and feeling
A fantastic breakdown and heartfelt review.
love the vids and the effort u put in ur videos keep it up man
I just finished the game on my ps5 and had no problems, one of my favorite games I’ve ever played
I saw the Bode twist coming from the start of the game. But then it kept not happening, which threw me off. It kept not happening to the point where I thought it was an on purpose red herring, so I stopped expecting it. And then it happened. It was so obvious it managed to like triple twist me. These games, as journeys through trauma, are deeply affecting, and very good. I never really had the performance issues most complained about, so I guess I might have been lucky and treated to the intended experience at launch.
I love this game, even more than the first, there were some bugs, but it didn’t ruin the game for me.
I've never watched your channel before and I was relieved to discover that your voice at the beginning was only a bit
This video was so good man. Keep it up
When I clicked the video, the exact opening played in my head. I am having a great time!
the intro 😭 great job as always aqua!!!
Thanks, Claire!
Personally I would be interested in seeing Quinlan Vos show up in a sequel if we ever get one. His story paralells Cals in some uncanny ways(unorthodox jedi with the supposedly rare power of psychometry, dating a nightsister, nearly turned to the dark side, affiliated with the hidden path), and id love to see the respawn team take advantage of the storytelling potential there.
12:29 That sync between the hits and the music. Beautiful
I think the coolest final boss in the third game would be star killer, having cal not be able to beat Vader, but his apprentice
Had basically no problems from day one on xbox. Pretty much loved it from the start and played it for about a month straight.
I am still waiting for a dueling mode like in Fallen Order. Replaying these boss fights would be so fun because I think a quite a few are better than those in Fallen Order. Some enemies like the saber wielding enemies in the game offer great saber fights which is something severely lacking in Fallen Order.
Im super happy I had little to no bugs on my initial playthrough on PS5. This game became an obsession at release. Its genuinely everything I wanted from a sequel & then some.
Love your videos, we have a lot of similar taste in games from the Arkham series to Mirror's Edge and I always love hearing your takes!
I was wondering what your opinion on Ghost of Tsushima was? I would love to see a long-form video on that if it was a game you enjoyed! Keep up the good work!
I can’t say much yet, but I think you’ll be hearing my thoughts on GoT soon :)
Hey, I'd like to mention that Rayvis' weapon is actually a Flail rather than a mace.
I used dual wielding and cross-guard as my light-saber options, and I have to agree that the issue with cross-guard is a matter of how people are using it. You can't just swing it whenever an enemy isn't actively attacking. You have to get a little bit of distance from them, too. Then, its hits can do a great job of stunning enemies off of attacking (large ones excluded). The extra heavy hits (skill upgrade reguired) can even stun "bear" enemies such as charging Rayvis, stopping their attack sequences so you get time to not die in punishment. (Concerning Rayvis, that move let me beat him on Grandmaster almost right after I realized it worked, and I clutched a fourth of the fight while out of stims).
The real trick to Rayvis is to forgoe difficulty challenges, but my brother demanded I restore our family honor by not dropping to Master. An hour or two well spent...
Bode saying "we already have an emperor" wasn't a slip about him being with the Empire, he didn't even necessarily like the Empire. He meant it in a bad way: we already have an all powerful ruler and that's a disaster so we're going to stop you.
My personal GOTY. I played in fidelity mode on PS5 - didn't notice any FPS drops and the graphics were stunning.
I personally was busy so I couldn’t play the game right away for 2 weeks and by the time I played it I never experienced the things I had heard about and my Xbox ran it almost perfectly. I’m very thankful for that otherwise I doubt Jedi Survivor would be one of the favorite games because of the launch state of the game.
I absolutely adore that saber montage
I played on ps5 and know that the pc port was real bad but for the main game I had zero issues, I did have a game breaking bug for side content though. I had the bounty Hunter bug where the sequence broke and after the 10th bounty I couldn’t do any more. They did eventually fix this and I went back and got the platinum.
This was one of my favorite games I’ve played in a long time and I couldn’t put it down. It also revitalized my interest in star wars and now I’m working though the newest Lego Star Wars, the mandalorian, and soon the other Star Wars shows. I really loved everything about this game
I had SOOO many emotions during the Vader fight, sadness, anger, glee but mainly sadness (the ending tore me up inside) I cried so hard! overall 10/10 for that fight. I am also glad they fixed the graphics issues for this game. During my play time I hardly ever fell under 60 fps, there were only a handful of times my fps feel below 60. For a while I also had a weird glitch where my game kept crashing in the main camp (where the cantina is) specifically around the Jawa building. I never did figure out why my game kept crashing but after a while that issue went away
At most I got like 2 crashes, some textures taking awhile to load, getting stuck inside or outside Pyloon's Saloon because the doors just wouldn't open, and some frame rate drops. But thankfully, these weren't very common and I even found some of them funny. Like in the middle of an important and heartfelt speech the game would just crash, or enemies would just phase through walls in a t-pose. The best one was when a Purge Trooper just slid across the floor in a T-Pose, and when the Dual Lightsaber stance for some reason had both the lightsabers connected. So I was holding a double bladed lightsaber, during the dual wield stance, meaning Cal just flailed his other arm around while I attacked.
I bought this game for PC on pre-sale, I was very excited, I really liked the first game, I spent a lot of extra time at work to get time off on the day it was released and when it was released and it was in that state I was very sad and even more sad when the game started crashing to the point that the first two weeks I couldn't play due to the constant crashes. Anyway, despite the problems, I really enjoyed the game and this week I bought it on the Xbox series S I'm playing it again.
I didn’t get around to playing this for a whole year pretty much, so by the time I played it everything ran smoothly.
im loving star wars survivor a lot rn. only about a few hrs in too.
I seriously never had such a horrible experience playing a game I wanted to enjoy so badly. I was constantly losing progress because of random freezes and other glitches that just totally hindered me from doing something
Just played the game with no performance issues and it was amazing in every way
I played this on a dying GTX 1060 day one and it ran extremely smoothly for me with no glitches, bugs, or crashes.
ive finished the game yesterday and i really liked it, the story at the end was very morally conflicted and something we didnt get in the sw-series or movies... the metroidvania like worlds are great, you can explore and will come back to explore more... i had some crashes and framerate drops but this was ok cause in other games this also exists
I’m very happy to have gotten and played this game on PC months after release. For me it ran very well aside from occasional visual glitches and 2 or 3 crashes. Overall this is one of my favorite games ever
I found that the purity perk makes boss fights fun to learn but makes mob battles a real pain
I was surprised to see New Game Plus was available at launch and was worried it would have the same issues as Fallen Order, but man am I glad that it’s better here. The more challenging enemy spawns and randomized outfit and lightsaber settings definitely make it worth playing, though having to reassign my skill points was hella tedious.
All in all, way better than the New Game Minus that was in Fallen Order
I loved the crossguard stance on Jedi Grandmaster, but that's because in Souls games I always opt for Strength builds and tend to gravitate toward the largest, slowest weapons I can find. As soon as I unlocked crossguard I just felt at home.
Two months later, when i played it, it never laged or crashed a single time.
It's probably because it changes some settings automatically before the game starts on pc.
great video!
I had a great time playing this game with no big tech issues, but the last fight with Dagan Gera broke me because after I finally beat his last phase, I got shone the cutscene for a couple seconds and then DIED, making me have to go over the boss fight that I barely finished then
7:21 I had a fun time playing the game, but Cal's hand phasing through a desk *in a cutscene* was indeed jarring.
One of my favorite things about this game was that they didn’t make up some dumb reason for him to lose his abilities. They just expanded upon his existing abilities, and made new ones.
I didn’t play Jedi survivor at launch but bought it months later, but still absolutely loved playing it the first few times and collecting everything but have a few issues with the story:
- you didn’t get much time with Cal’s crew since they meant a lot to him I didn’t feel the connection to the characters
-combat was better but shame you can’t block mid move
- story felt too short on what it could’ve been
-exploring planets felt very limited with only 5 planets, but nothing to do on Tanalorr even though it was the whole point of the game
-Dagen and Ravis’s story felt like a side quest and they didn’t try to make it better
-lightsaber customisation was good not great
But my hopes for Jedi 3 is more planets to explore, longer story, more lightsaber customisation and please please PLEASE give us a Darksaber crystal
and maybe a system where you make choices which determines a certain ending
When I first played this game, I played it on grandmaster difficulty and beat the 2 rancor in the force tear, and same with both of the oggos. While crossgaurd is slow you learn with that stance its all about timing but what I did was mastered 2 stances on that difficulty crossguard and blaster stances if you learn to use those in tandem with each other and master both of them you're a force to be reckoned with. So what I did was start out with blaster stance, then I would finish both enemies with crossguard stance. Having range is huge when it comes to fighting those enemies in the beginning of the force tear battle, especially on grandmaster difficulty
Great review
This is one of my favourite games period, I played it when it came out and I had maybe one crash on ps5
Just finished the game last night. I enjoyed it and used the duel wield and crossguard for the hole game once I unlocked them.
The Crossguard worked great for me as a souls hame player, im used to having to find an opportunity to strike
I honestly had no issues with it and just finished 100%ing the game. I sorry to hear others had such issues as I absolutely love the game, story, gameplay, and visuals
Besides from the bugs and other stuff, IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING AND ARGUABLY THE BEST STAR WARS SINGLE PLAYER GAME OF ALL TIME
There are swap attacks! Initiated by holding the attack button at the end of your combo and they're really powerful
That intro gave me chills
I love this game and I’ve nerves had any performance issues (except like two crashes and a glitch that was only ascetic)
Idk I had no problems playing Jedi Survivor on Xbox Series X I thought it was a great game, just as good as fallen order and better in a lot of ways. Especially the movement in Survivor is so much more fluid from the combat to the wall running
Intro on point lol
I'm playing this in August 2023 and still having performance issues. I really like this game, but dying to bosses because I get locked into a stance for using a stim, R1-force abilities will cancel out into whatever Force move is equipped (the triangle button), the camera sliding into a wall in the middle of fighting mobs, and the game not always registering when I'm against a climbable or runnable wall.
Something I think would've benefitted the cross guard stance especially, would be the added ability of being able to hit through someone's guard. For example, if an enemy has a low enough guard to the point that your next attack will break through it, a small portion of the damage that would've gone through if it were a regular un-guarded attack will go through the block upon breaking it.
To put it simply: Make it so that break through block does a small percentage of damage to add more viability to the cross guard, in a similar vain to how you can attack cancel when using the dual wield.
BRO THE LIGHTSABER EDIT GOES CRAZY
12:10 that edit there OH MAH GAWD🤯😭😍
I subscribed to EA Play to play this game. I was lagging so much that it was unplayable even tho my computer exceeded the minimum requirements. The first game ran absolute fine on my PC. So, I spent money on it that I can never get back
I then bought a PS5 and played it on it. It’s a good game. I really enjoyed it.
After preordering Survivor on the PS4, I got the platinum trophy playing on grandmaster. I loved everything about it, scouring everywhere for collectables, the combat, the boss fights, the story.
I was so keen for this game, I preordered again on Steam since I'd built a PC between releases, dug out my controller and was ready to pick up where the last game left off. Visually, it was stunning, and the story was great from the start. Started on grandmaster again and loved the challenge, I died so many times to Oggdo its crazy lmao. As soon as I got to Koboh tho, my perfomance TANKED. I crashed constantly, and it ruined it. I couldn't pay attention to the story or anything because every hour interval the game worked just wasnt enough while I was scouring the entire planet.
I got as far as MEETING MERRIN AGAIN until I gave up and uninstalled the game. I haven't redownloaded it, and I hate that I haven't because these Jedi games are some of the best Star Wars we've gotten out of Disney. I tried so hard to dodge spoilers, and kept my eye out for a patch or news that the performance had gotten up to scratch. So of course I haven't redownloaded it. Its so sad this game was let down.
barely had any bugs when i played, which lead to such an enjoyable experience
i almost immediately quit when I saw both oggdo and the spawn. happy to find out they were wayy easier...or at least more squishy than their individual fights
I was lucky enough to run it well enough on sub-par hardware that I was just happy it was playable and didn't care for lack of framerate, and mods to tweak performance were enough help. It is tragic others were not so lucky, and I hope they can later enjoy this masterpiece if they dropped it.
You did get relatively lucky but you can’t rate games based on the fact that you can use mods to make it good. Console players can’t use mods and they make up the majority of gamers. So if it runs bad on console and PC then the game is in rough shape. Obviously devs can really improve on games if they try. Imo you should base a game off of the first week of the launch. It’s not a very accurate depiction of the game if you recommend mods that actually make the game playable while reviewing a game.
I just got the game on thanksgiving and i have never experienced any sort of technical issues
i beat the game on ps5 jedi master, dont usually like these games but i loved it... story was great, a couple bugs but it was awesome combat and one of the best i think ive played recently for sure.
31:50 Did you forget that swap attacks were in Fallen Order? Holding Square would perform a swap attack between single saber and double bladed
I played this game flawlessly on my xbox series-x without a single bug 100% all achievements. Incredible experience and probably one of the best Jedi games ever made next to Starkillers games. People really tried to make this game look bad for no reason other than a bad PC port.
