When you talk about this game, i feel its important to keep the development in mind. This game was made in 9 months, and the story had to be written by 1 guy in a week. Considering how little time they had, and the improvements to the engine and combat they also made, i think its actually amazing. I wished we got a force unleashed 3 man
This game actually does have a full combo system like the first game, it's just that you don't need to unlock any of them and the game never tells you about any of them either. I didn't know about them until I went into the challenge mode where one of the challenges was to do all of the combos one after the other.
My canon for this game was that star killer isn’t actually a clone. They’re just telling him that and I think the big twist of the third game was gonna be that it was revealed that he isn’t a clone and is in fact of the real star killer because when you watch the ending of the first game, I always thought to myself if Palpatine can survive that blast Certainly star killer could’ve right
This is exactly what I was expecting the twist to be, and then it just didn't happen. The story would have landed better if they'd just had Vader manipulating him into thinking he was a flawed clone.
@@adam6620 I didn't even get a notification for it! I have been blessed, praise be also there is an army of them later on and they definitely are COOKED
It's actually very consistent that the Force doesn't like people scientifically meddling with it with cloning and biological experiments. It was actually Darth Plagueis's theory on why Anakin exists before he died.
To play devil's advocate, I'm pretty sure the devs who worked on the game were given probably a year or less to make this sequel. They did plan to make it a new character, but most likely due to time constraints they had to make Starkiller again.
@@muegaschneemann it is. Though I think I heard the novelization states he wasn’t, he was just brainwashed, but I could be wrong since I haven’t read tgat
@@zinogre6225 i actually read both the books (pretty nice) especially to know if he is real or a clone. And the books gave me a stronger feeling he was an actual clone. But yeah in the end it doesnt matter in MY canon Galen Marek started the rebellion idgaf hahaha
@@muegaschneemann same. And I like to believe he wasn’t a clone but at the end of the day I don’t care, I still like both games. Also, hot take, the Wii version of the first game is better than the Xbox/PlayStation. But that could be purely nostalgia since that’s the one I remember playing as a kid lol
This game is ACTUALLY fun. It’s ULTIMATE SHORTNESS is the biggest problem imo. After all, it was made in 9 months and was the last major LucasArts Star Wars game before Disney. But, I’m still glad ur finally playing it!
Meme Edit: Starkiller and Canon Palpatine, talking to Legends Palpatine: “You come back as a clone and everyone likes it now. We come back as clones and no one likes it. That doesn’t seem fair”.
You actually do have all the combos from the first game available. They're unlocked from the start: you just have to know what buttons to use. Also I really love how you can knock pieces of armour off the troopers in this one- the best way to demonstrate it is with the dashing blast. It often completely knocks the chestplate off a stormtrooper but he's still able to stand up and keep fighting. Also a fully-charged saber throw is enough to one-shot the carbonite droids.
I didn’t start this my brother started it but he died a while ago so I’m continuing it until zanny plays it, thx tho I’m sure he would appreciate what u said👍🙂🙂
1:38 SUPPOSEDLY it's not really starkiller and is just clone. But I think it was meant to be conjecture. Although the dark side ending confirms that Vader did have the ability to make a fully functional starkiller clone, so headcanon what you want since there's not gonna be a threequel
It really isn't underrated. The gameplay is worse than the first because there's less combos and the bosses for the most part aren't good, the QTEs are also much less interesting and dynamic. The level design is also severely lacking.
No, it's still pretty dogshit and you can absolutely tell that it was made in just a year. Especially compared to other games that were made in just a year such as Majora's Mask, Knights of the Old Republic II and Metal Gear Rising.
Force unleashed 2 story was bad but that combat was very solid. I think it did get watered down on some of the grapples and force powers but the saber combat was great and it’s one of the few games that had dismemberment in it. While the actual combos weren’t challenging they did add a real cool mechanic of timing your attacks to change the different attacks and if you did it right there was a saber combo that had Star killer slicing the living shit out of anything for like a minute straight and if you pulled it off nothing would be alive. Another thing to note they had considerable less time to develop the sequel compared to the first game and it was getting close to when the studio was about to be shut down ):
my playthrough of FU1 got softlocked because during the most hype scene (you know the one) my controls didn't work correctly, so i couldn't beat the QTE no matter what i did. A real feelsbad moment
There are good combos in this game, you just need to fully upgrade the lightsabers, also you can launch enemies into the air and air grapple them like in the first game.
Just to point out, we never actually know if he is a clone. It’s entirely possible that Vader revived him wiped his memory and tried to retrain him again. Pretty sure they try to play on this theory throughout the game.
Spoiler: I might be misremembering, but I think he is only a clone in one of the endings. In the good one he turns out to be the real starkiller that got manipulated and in the bad ending he is only one of many clones. It has been a while, so I am not 100% sure, but I think that was it. If I am right, then it would make the ending actually somewhat good and also the changes between good and bad pretty well done. Updatte: I think there was a line in the game by general Kota that confirms it. He can only see through the force and he says he knew starkiller was A. Alive, and B. the MC in the game. So while starkiller himself thinks he is not the real one, we know he is
No, he is confirmed 100% to be a clone. You’re just making stuff up at this point for headcanon purposes. Also, your “canon” doesn’t even make sense: he’s the real Galen in the good ending, but a clone in the bad ending? How can you be a clone and not a clone at the same time until the ending? All it takes is reading up on the game wiki for 5 minutes to not look like a clown with silly fanfics.
Galen's story should've ended with his sacrifice in TF1, bring him back as a clone undermines that. But since TF2 exists I prefer the theory that Starkiller is actually Galen that survived his sacrifice and was brainwashed using force while in coma or something. Vader kept him alive for the cloning and tried to bend him to his will against by fooling him into thinking he's a clone.

Sounds like a DMC2 situation. But this turned out better.
That 1 guy in a week did better than the entire team behind basically all of Disney so mad props to him lol
Passion and pressure makes the world of difference

Zanny quit just before the “biggest” boss fight he’s ever seen.
Me playing it for the first time: "Oh it's just a Ranc- NOT A RANCOR! NOT A RANCOR!"

That was the possibility this game was talking about. It seemed like they were probably going to answer that in the third game.
Type shit if they don’t drop the next game when I’m atleast 20 ima be upset 🤦♂️🤦♂️
That makes a lot of sense, especially with how they've shown that cloning force-sensitives is really difficult, if not impossible
I’ll be honest I thought Starkiller pulled a Vegeta with that blast and evaporated after. I was more willing to accept the clone thing because of that
problem with a clone army of Starkillers is the vast number of failed clones they had before it, they just don't work
Wow Zanny hearted the comment! That means he agrees and isn’t just a salty hater who doesn’t appreciate what we got!
@@adam6620 I didn't even get a notification for it! I have been blessed, praise be

I think that this Starkiller not being a clone was the big reveal of TFU3 which sadly never came to fruition tbh.

POV: you are the most powerful force user in the galaxy but a falling sign gives you a brain hemorrhage.
Loved it when zanny said it’s force grip time and gripped all over the place

Yes. They had, if I remember correctly, only 6 or 9 months to do it
0:20 I swear Zanny is going to go deaf considering how many times he has gotten ear blasted in the last month
Imagine being so down bad that you even have your clones acting unwise
He stopped right before the biggest boss fight in the game, lol.

A tip for zanny or anyone playing this: when traversing through the map, Press the force push button immediately after you press dash to get a boost

I’m so excited for Zanny and the boys to see Acolyte
Gotta love Vader acting like he wasn’t a simp himself.

@@mattj1829 yeah
@@lred1383 unfortunate
A lot of sith cloned themselves in search of immortality, makes sense that Vader would screw around with new sith force techniques of his priors
My partner is in the Philippines so I've been staying up more, and im finally on time for zanny videos
Zanny posting back to back is like getting choked by malenia
Awesome
The duo of Zanny and mic peak shall be remembered throughout history. If Zanny gets a mic that doesn’t peak I shall cease to exist
Lol, the best timing for this upload. I'm going to meet Sam Witwer next month
The first couple seconds of the game was The Sound Unleashed for Zanny 😂
you have no idea how excited I am for this video
I love when Starkiller says “it’s force unleashing time” and unleashed his force all over the place
Orchestras for movies were always a classic bangers, this theme and Jurassic Park were my childhood
I would kill for a director's cut of Force Unleashed 2 and a Force Unleashed 3!
Hey Zanny is there something missing from the title?
nah its just a joke lol
13:31 Zanny please give bad batch another shot, the series is complete and the story picks up pretty good, trust 🙏
Agreed
Damn, more of my family members were still alive when I played this. I feel old.

The reflecting projectiles challenge mode is actually pretty fun.
There are good combos in this game, you just need to fully upgrade the lightsabers, also you can launch enemies into the air and air grapple them like in the first game.
Was the Wii version really that different? This isn’t at all what I remember playing. Then again it’s been YEARS.
Yes it was/is the wii-version seems way more fun with quite different maps and mechanics
Woah woah woah I did not expect this man to play the game I was so hyped for in my childhood
In the final fight of this game you can actually see Juno’s body off to the side
forced unleashed 3 will have starkiller wielding 3 lightsabers, with the 3rd lightsaber held in his mouth.
Graphics like these from a 2010 game is very impressive

It is indeed a sequal of all time
Ngl my first ever Star Wars game that wasn’t Lego was force unleashed and I am so glad it was
Zanny already uploaded a video of him playing the new Elden Ring DLC. I wonder if Three Zanny is gonna start playing it too.
If only I could somehow combine the two games together a force unleashed game with the plot of 1 but with the graphics and combat of 2
I truly think this is one of the best 4 hour games ever
Anyone else think that with the new reverse curved sword class in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree a Starkiller build would be fun to see?
I’m amazed he actually went through with playing this
Did I have a stroke or is the title wrong?
The idea of a clone being a tier 3 s1-mp is hilarious.
In this game i used to make the imperial soldiers fight each others by making them fight for me and this was actually fun 😂
Was gonna go to my sons graduation but zanny uploaded
It truly is one of the sequels.
Looking forward to the Zanny and the Boys Watch Acolyte vid.
Force Unleashed 2 is one of my favorite games ever, and not even 5 seconds in he's already shitting on it man
Dang, hard to believe you decided to play the second one
One day I'll catch a Zanny stream...

The e3 trailer for this game is goated
Technically Ahsoka was the first to use reverse grip because the Movie came out 1 months before Force Unleashed 1
Wow I can't believe it this really is one of the sequels ever made
And he was this close getting to the boss fight.🐱
There are combo details you just have to go to upgrades and show details and it’ll cycle to combos in pretty sure
I know the story is kinda meme, but i still enjoy this game when i was a younger
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
