      A pretty good game.....sometimes. That statement meant a lot to not buy this game. And it is from Ubisoft so on the first screen I expect a huge popup with microtransactions. We need a game that is bad sometimes not good sometimes.

    I’m about 15 hours into the game…and I really don’t like the stealth system. Way too easy to fail a mission and get sent all the way back to the beginning. Enemies feel like they are telepathically connected if one enemy barely spots you and it’s start over, again and again and again. And I LOVE stealth in games. It’s my jam. But not here unfortunately.

      @@francescofioroni70 It's made by Massive the same studio that did the Division and Division 2, I'd say to give it 2 years to fix any issues then buy it cheap, Massive do make good games, it just takes them a long time and if you buy the game you're essentially paying a premium to be a beta tester for a year or two, Massive will get there though that's their saving grace but it's worth remembering that their early game patches break as many issues as they fix until they find their feet.
      I'd say that 18 months to 2 years is a good shout. If Avatar is still selling at $35 that says more about how much Ubisoft have made on the title overall than about how long it will take to go for a bargain basement price.

Lastly, I would rather play as Han freaking Solo, than Hannah-I-stole-his-clothes Solo. How is that hard to figure out? People love Han, he's an established character with a huge fan base. Common sense to use him and garner more public & fan support, as well as more money from increased sales.

      Look at the facts(stats), they are catering to their customers. They are doing it so well that they keep increasing customers consistently. Yes there are the one or two flops, and a few bad launches, but in general for the most part the franchise is a huge success.

      @@Highlander77 I mean, I get what your point is and it's well taken but at least in the movies it shows them fall over, not die or get knocked out. They fall over and presumably off-screen get dealt with further since the movies themselves keep it vague you can sort of fill in the blanks however you want - even if it is stretching it a bit. It gives you an out. Whereas here, it's just... not great, but videogames have been doing this sort of thing forever. Typically just gets thrown under the bus with some throwaway excuse like "gameplay over real-world logic" and that's that.
      Would love to see both forms of entertainment make either option more believable, though.

    I'm still playing this, but changed my focus and decided to get the main story out of the way first, so completed it with minimal skills instead of doing all the side content first and buffing up my character. The story was actually pretty good, although the twist was obvious and rather lame. That being said, now I'm just free roaming I'm really enjoying myself and have recognised that all the emphasis on stealth that I found annoying early on is there for a reason.

    It would have been far more interesting to have Han Solo star in this game and make it a guaranteed hit. You can have his struggle between ANH and Empire with his old smuggler contacts trying to pull him back into crime and away from his more respectable role in the rebellion as he ranks his way up with Chewbacca as his backup and fly the Falcon. I mean it’s obvious the developers wanted to make that game and either weren’t allowed to or couldn’t get the budget to make it.
