"STAR WAAAARS. NOTHING BUT. STAR WARRRS"
the game has some bad technical problems but it is still worth playing at some point if you're a fan. I'm gonna be talking about this one a lot between another video or so and the podcast. 😀
Shouts to Jahns 💛
Thank you Bill Murry
excellent Star Wars kid reenactment.
I'm not supporting shipping broken, unoptimized games.
Sorry. Fix your shit first companies.
Ready to start it tonight. I think You’re the equivalent of my spirit animal in gamer UA-cam world. Thanks for all the very credible looks on games over the last year or so
You owe me pizza
More like 135 😆
he's actually sent me a slice but he owes me about 100 boxes extra😂
Why?
Bro he’s BEEN owed me pizza
@@seanmalloy0528 "pizza's on me"
Everyone needs a friend like Jake in their lives. So passionate about the little things that makes the whole experience worthwhile.
My Favourite bit, a B1 complimenting a stunning view and contemplating the dilemma of what would happen if he got promoted, Cal’s response after a ledge kill just added to it. The B1’s are amazing in this.
B1 supremacy
If I had a nickel for every time Jake talked about StarWars I’d have like 50 cents

You would be able to buy a human 😳
Drink every time he says “video game.”
@@zasukie1423WOAH
Man these are the type of videos I love, I understand the importance of the more analytical/objective review videos but there's no better feeling than hearing someone talk about something they really enjoy and in turn that gets you excited as well. I'm the type of person who has to play the older games in a series before I can jump into the new one so I still gotta play fallen order but I'm super pumped for it after this video
thank you! I'm glad you get it
It’s on game pass and PlayStation plus. Nothing stopping you! Haha
🤔🎮 While I didn't enjoy the first one, I've heard that the second one has some improvements. Do you think it's worth giving it a shot, or do you think my lack of enjoyment for the first one will extend to the second one?
As a gamer who plays a game through and then struggles to ever play that story again I can say I fully played fallen order twice and it was amazing
@@seanseams6308 same here dude. 100% when it came out and 100% a few months ago as a refresher
5 hours in, absolutely loving it. My favorite game of the year so far.
Me too. Beats resident evil 4 surprisingly
Just picked it up and it might already be my favorite game of the year. So exciting to have an awesome Star Wars game.
Listening to someone gush about something they love is one of life's truest joys.
I want to hear the full spicy Jake Baldino take on the totality of Star Wars lmao
oh boy buckle up!
@@JakeBaldino we ready fam
We need a Cal, Starkiller team up! 🤩
bring him back!
@@JakeBaldino that dual lightsaber stance really bring up some starkiller vibes tho
Add Kyle Katarn too!
starkiller is toxic masculinity while cal is a beta simp boy
@@_BlackenedSun 😮💨
I am 49. Star Wars I grew up with imagining I could be a Jedi. It just brings back those long lost childhood feelings for me.
I feel like we have a very very very similar view on star wars and how enjoyable it is, regardless of some criticisms from the fanbase. I absolutely LOVED Fallen Order and am happy with pretty much everything I hear about Survivor, I can't want until it's finally out for me to play it!
I really like Cal as a character and I’ve come to really like the actor as well; I know some people really thought he was too lacking in personality but I really like him, like, he even has a very unique resting face 😅 maybe I’m crazy
Also I would love to see Kyle Katarn in one of these recent games though I have no clue if that would work canon-wise; but he would be a good teacher as he also used blasters and lightsabers
you enjoy playing as that soyboy? lol
I really like Cal as a character and his actor as well. I know him from the Gotham TV show, which is very underrated if you ask me. He played both Jerome and Jeremiah Valeska in that show, both of whom were basically the Jokers of that Batman universe. His performance in that show was incredible, and though Cal is a lot more subdued of a performance than the Joker, he still plays the role well, I think.
@@_BlackenedSun soyboy please go get some fresh air.
@@_BlackenedSunyou have the brain of a toddler.❤️
I like almost everything about his character, but I don't like that they ditched his hair braid style he had as a padawan. It's a jedi style and I get why he had to get rid of it but I feel like with him being open about being a jedi in this game I would want him to have that look again.
Jake Baldino: the pizza giving, jacket loving, shoe appreciating, DeLorean fawning guy that we all love to watch. Glad you loved this game man, sounds like it's well worth the wait! So excited to play this!
hahahah thank you! hope you dig the game!
DeLorean loving when it isn't a time machine
This a genuinely good review. Mostly because I can see you're really into what you're trying to talk about. I never finished the first one but watching you talk about it gets me hype enough to jump back in.
I quit playing the first one because the map layout frustrated me but then i I got kinda hyped for the new one and I went back and hammered down and beat the first one
genuinely kind feedback. thank you
i just finished the first game after 4 years XD definitely worth the story, time and experience. Excited for the second game in an hour :D
I appreciate you stayed away from spoilers this video. You should make a spoiler video as well. I'd give it a watch after finishing the game
That droid impression was *chef kiss*
Thank you for the great video again Jake
hah thanks!
There are still a few more hours to go before I can play in my timezone, but I'm so excited to play man! Thanks for the multiple videos dude, always enjoy your content, input, and criticism about any games you play.
I haven’t been this excited for a game in awhile, Star Wars is really something special man. Also a 3rd game where Cal is a full on Jedi Master with some new force abilities would be dope, just some very early speculating lol.
Well the dev did say he envisioned this as a trilogy
@@zacharybecker8228 it would be the best star wars trilogy in over 30 years lol
@Jonny Parr Star Wars Jedi: Master is basically a given too
Jake the point you made about the battle droids rings so true as a now adult formerly kid who was born and bred prequels. That nostalgic feeling of cutting through droids like I’m playing my PS1 is beautiful
as a longtime fan myself i personally think that the fantastical side of this game is brilliant, i feel like with Disney they've continually told the same story over and over without innervation. The story in this game being so original was like a breath of fresh air, the galaxy is a big place and I'm sure there's more going on in that galaxy that we haven't seen. Just my humble opinion. Cheerio
I agree and disagree. I think the last 1/3 of the game is amazing but it really felt the whole thing with Dagan and the High republic didn't feel fleshed out enough, it was just padding for the final bit and for the first representation of the high republic outside of books it felt a bit underwhelming.
Hey jake was waiting for this video keep it up man 😊
thanks!
Thanks For the video Jake! Love it! We need more content from your channel.
I love watching your videos man. You got so much personality and you’re such a funny and weird guy (WEIRD IS GOOD normal is boring) and you’re not afraid to just have a good time and do what you love. Loved seeing the part where you were practicing becoming a Jedi while bumping that eric b & rakim!! Keep up the good work and great content man. I never comment but I feel like I had to just let you know how much I love what you do
Why is no one talking about 7:49? Let's talk about that. I think that's gotta be the most badass thing I've ever seen.
What I miss from the Jedi Knight games with Kyle Katarn was the ability to mix up light / dark sides powers as you level up. Wish you had more flexibility to use the force the way you wish to go with it and build up Cal's story with a little more variables. Maybe that's just me tho.
Kinda like fable ish but star wars. I never understood why games don't really build off of fables reputation system, especially for a star wars game where you should be able to choose between light and dark sides.
@@pulseofme6884 have you not played the KOTOR games?
too bad
@@WaddelingProductionshes talking about this game
After playing this, I'm hoping, in the third game you might be able to go down a dark or light path. Seems like it might be going there. Great game so far. :)
Love your content man. I’ve been excited for this game but you reignited that starwars nostalgia in me. Super excited to play
Always appreciate Jake's uncorrupted take on things and stuff
I like that they made the cross guard lightsaber stance and combat heavy. This is definitely my own interpretation but I feel like it shows just how big and strong Kylo Ren was to be swinging that thing around with the speed he was doing it with
I thought lightsabers don’t weigh anything besides the hilt?
There’s mass created when lightsabers turn on which is why lightsabers don’t go through each other. It doesn’t really follow scientific knowledge but it’s Star Wars.
@@JustCallMeJames it doesn’t make much sense
@@brykwak they're supposed to be beams of light with a magnetic field. the reason why they can hit each other without going through each other, but they also can't slide across each other like regular swords
I don't have a PS5 yet so I'll be booting up the original Fallen Order and playing the first worlds for a bit to get the itch out of the system, hahah. Star Wars was also such a big part of my childhood, Jake, that the very first time I was taken to a hair salon (as a 4 y/o), I asked the barber dude to make me look like Luke Skywalker, lmao. Luke was my first "movie" hero, and I wanted to be a Jedi more than anything else in life. 😂
I appreciate the content and realness. Keep it coming, I found a new favorite channel!
I love listening to your videos on my way to work in the morning. Keep up the amazing work Jake! 🍕
I get why you don’t want to talk about Star Wars online a lot, but personally hearing you talk about Star Wars anytime puts such a smile on my face and reminds me why I love Star Wars so much.
Man i'm so ready.. roughly 4 hours... Hopefully day 1 patch fixed alot of the issues I saw..
Yeah I'm waiting for the day one patch here too. There was a day Zero one today though, no?
So 2 patches, hopefully they smooth out the rough parts.
I look forward to these videos as much as the “Before You Buy” uploads.
I am new to the channel but damn, I enjoyed this video more than I anticiapted. Not just contant and delivarence but the man himslef. Always good to see someone who shows how much he enjoys the game. A true fan you are my good sir.
Love your videos💙
Yaron | Israel
cheers, thanks man!
Just downloaded the PC version so waiting for it to go live soon to check it out.
i have been looking at this video with a smile on my face thanks Jake 😃
Hey Jake, don't apologize for being passionate about SW and this game. It's infectious, dude. x
Big respect from the UK 🇬🇧
CHEERS
The base enemy that doubles as comedy relief is always the best. B1s, Grunts etc. You almost feel bad for killing them, but eh too fun lol
Jake with the Rakim reference. I'm impressed.
Thoroughly enjoying these videos. I've seriously looked at a couple of games I wasn't originally interested in due to your reviews. Keep up the good work.
I actually really like certain combat improvements like the ability to parry blaster bolts quicker one after the other because in fallen order there was like a short cool down for blaster reflection and in this one if you’re quick enough you can bounce them back one after the other and I LOVE that because that was one of my biggest gripes in fallen order
Reflecting the bolts is always a good time
I'm a "jacket enthusiast" too lol love me some badass lookin jackets
Love the after videos Jake! Keep it up
I love this videos. Very much the same with growing up on so many Star Wars games and these are a breath of fresh air. After watching this video I am excited to jump into this one. Love the content, Jake.
I love this game! The story, characters, the world exploration is rewarding. The combat is satisfying, just play on a difficulty mode above normal. The art design is top notch! I hope devs could fix performance issues soon so everybody can enjoy it.
I started fallen order a year or two ago and got halfway through and stopped for some reason. Heard the sequel was coming out and went back to finish it and was so happy I did. Really looking forward to the second game.
glad you went back and finished it
Same.
Keep grinding! Great content as always. Looking forward to starting this game tomorrow.
I love this approach to talking about games. When I used to do movie review videos for work, I called that series "worth a watch," and basically, if I did a video on it, that means that there's something about it worth seeing. I don't think there's anything wrong with being critical, and people should know of any issues to make an informed purchase, but I love what you're doing with this.
Excited to see how it connects to the High Republic, it's a good time to be a SW fan.
Cal with the Jake hair got me smiling . Lol spot on
hahah
Jake, stop apologizing for how much you love and appreciate star wars...I feel the same way. They have nailed this in so many ways, and it's shaping up to be the best star wars story ever told, and the sad thing is only a small portion of fans will experience it. I'm glad I'm a gamer
Bd-1 “oh no” impression was flawless
I will most def play the hell out of this, Disney needs to take note from Respawn.
70$ is a lot but I’ll definitely be watching my friend play until I can afford it
Sorry 😔
But it really is looking like a solid AAA. Hope you get to play soon.
Jake! You’re one of my favorite UA-camrs and I love hearing you talk about Star Wars. Don’t deprive us of that because of a few haters! 😇
Amazing channel jake, keep up the good work❤
I feel the same way about Transformers as you do about Star Wars. ♥
These past few months have really exposed PC gaming for what it is. It's great when it works, but it very often DOESN'T work. It's the reason Console Gaming will always dominate the market, you put the disc in and it just WORKS.
As a SW fan that has followed the franchise since the age of 7 (now 28) it’s refreshing to hear someone talk about SW without the negativity that often follows.
I don’t like everything out there, but just let people have their enjoyment, ya know. It’s nice.
Loved hearing your thoughts on this game Jake and I can’t wait to play it myself tomorrow. Can’t come soon enough!
Jake's been in this fight since he was six years old
Got it a day early and I'm several hours or so in, playing on series x. Good so far but not excellent (at least at the moment), I've noticed occasional frame drops, not too often like once every hour. I was chatting on twitch with someone earlier who was playing on ps5 and we both had frame drops as the game is loading to the main menu, funny thing is it slows down on Electronic arts, but is fine when it says Lucasfilm. I'd like to think that was on purpose, but obviously just a technical problem.
How's it like without the day one patch?
I mean we keep hearing "stuff" but we're all pretty much gonna play it with 2 patches in...
So is it really "bad" in some areas? Can you please let us know what your experience has been like?
@@samf.s.7731 I wouldn't say really bad for me, just dropping some frames into the main menu (where logos appear), in game moving around Kohbo (if I remember the spelling correctly), is the first semi open world area after the intro to the game, and I have had frame drops occasionally exploring some of the area. Had a couple of glitches, bodies moulding into rock faces/cliffs. PC players might have the roughest experience based upon what I'm hearing
I like how you’re happy about the game and everyone can tell from your face :) Also whenever you did a sound effect with your mouth impersonating a droid or a lightsaber swing it sounded awesome :)
When Jake gets excited I get excited 😅 I’m ready for this game and his excitement gets me hyped up!
Jedi power battles was great for chopping down battle droids
You’re god damn right. One of my all time favorites
duuude… been waiting for a rerelease or remaster of that forever 🥵
Good Job Mr. Baldino 😌
I must confess I see people confuse the IP itself and all the talent working on it with ... Well, the mouse.
Regardless of how you feel about Disney, people worked hard on this game and did a mighty good job. If we are gonna play Hogwarts Legacy despite Rowling who's awful.. I see no reason to hate on this game because "Disney ruined Star Wars".
Jakes clanker voice is perfection
Hey Jake! Had a great time watching a fellow Star wars fanboy and gamer talk about this stuff with such passion who just gets it! Really enjoying these type of videos. I'm a completionist so put a lot of hours into fallen order and also played new game plus on a higher difficulty. Waiting to play survivor, but it'll be a while because of the price. Keep up the amazing work you're doing, both on your channel and the rest of the team over on Gameranx, hats off to you!! Always look forward to your content! 😊 Greetings from Greece mate, cheers
I disagree with your comment on some of the newer books, some of them are amazing! Especially the Alphabet Squadron trilogy!!
oh don't get me wrong - I love some of it! Lost Stars, The Light of the Jedi, etc.
My favorites are the ones by Claudia Gray. I love the concept of the Drengir but they barely use them in the books.
“Fallen Order” was - no joke - the best Star Wars narrative since the OT IMO. Not sure whether that indicates it was great, or just shows how awful the post-OT movies have been. Either way I am really looking forward to this game
I didn't care for the story all that much. It felt very been there done that. You should play KOTOR, it has an even better story than the OT.
@@CasepbX KoTOR is quite literally the most generic overhyped piece of Star Wars media. Fallen order was better than it in every way except for the customization. Which Survivor looks to have improved upon.
Man, just played the opening part until I reached my ship again and oh boy, how do I missed Star Wars, the old Star Wars, and I haven't realized that.
All the good vibes of watching the old trilogy and even the second trilogy are coming back to me. This game nailed that feeling. Huge props to Respawn.
7:45 props for listening to “don’t sweat the technique”, not only is it an amazing classic rap song, but it also fits what you’re doing perfectly ;P
Ahhh yes one of the worst most overrated franchise and its stans, they'll eat it up but they wouldnt know a good story if it was right in front of them.
Very nice
@@JakeBaldino Indeed my dear sir!
Thanks. I appreciate the positive take. I'll wait a few months, but I will definitely play it now.
I just want to say, as a fellow old-school Star Wars nerd who grew up reading the EU (now Legends), this video is fantastic. I played through the first few hours after a midnight install last night, and completely agree with you here. Respawn gets it, Survivor has that classic Star Wars 'feel', and in a lot of ways Cal feels like a mashup of Kyle Katarn and Corran Horn adapted for the new timeline. From the little details of the lightsaber combat and Force abilities, to the surprisingly expansive and relevant NPCs and side quests that, again, really feel like they fit in the universe. I can't wait to play through the rest of the game this weekend and see if the bacta tank dude in the trailer is as much of an Exar Kun homage as he seemed.
Really super stoked to finally play it! I’d start now, but I haven’t played Fallen Order since launch and my memory is absolutely terrible, so I’m replaying that first. Thanks for the hype!
I’m super excited for this game! And the…jackets 🤣🥳 you’re the man, Jake!
Thank you, been loving this game and have a similar love for Star Wars. So good to hear someone talk about the game and Star Wars with out so much over the top negativity
I know it's not a strictly Star Wars thing but I LOVE the things they do in Fallen Order and Survivor regarding things like expression and body language as well as dialogue between characters. There's little moments of talking between characters when you take off for new planets and interactions between the crew and I just love it. It's not all depending on Cal to interact with them even if it's not initiated without you going to a new place. Hell, I talked to Merrin once and she didn't even talk to Cal, she asked BD how he was and if he was doing alright! That's so awesome as someone who ADORES character writing.
It's so refreshing seeing/hearing someone just enjoying Star Wars. I too enjoy 90% of Star Wars. I'm always there for the cool light sabers fight. Something about them just makes me so hype
This is sick, love to see the passion!
Getting the bandolier shoulder pad and making a kyle katarn look was so satisfying a few hours in
22 hours into the game and loving it. Is keeps the momentum throughout … never a dull moment
Think you and I are of a similar age so I imagine you grew up on the same star wars games I did. Fallen Order was easily my favourite since things like KOTOR and the Jedi Outcast series (loved those, they weren't perfect by any means but man did I have fun with them). Glad to hear this is just more but bigger
“Music during blank sequence” it’s crazy that I’m pretty sure I know the exact sequence youre talking about. With no music it would’ve been epic, with the music I was screaming crying yelling cheering annnnd by the end not only had the scene ripped my heart out but the score ensured I felt the weight of what happened. Man… GOTY. Also. Jedi trilogy has already been confirmed, one more to go!
I've been playing nonstop on my Series X since it dropped. Loving it and love your perspective on it. Stay geek and keep doing the greatness you do!
I pre loaded a few nights ago, have yet to play cause of work BUT tonight and through the weekend? So excited to jump in!
It's been a fantastic journey for me and oh man. This game gave me some big feelings!
Finished it a couple days ago. Having a blast exploring the pending side quests and chests
Really enjoyed this video!
have to tell you: you are the only video game Talking Head I watch. Your takes are always solid, accurate, balanced, personable, and honest. I love that you love Star Wars, and that you’re just, like, ‘This is me - deal with it.’ This attitude is why I keep clicking Play and Like on your stuff. 😊
I've watched your content enough be it here or there and you sir deserves your own subscription lol.
the video I been waiting for 🎉
thank you.
Love it! Loved the Big Daddy reference too! Huge star wars fan and Respawn gets it. Give me more tools, more powrrs, more clankers! Great assessment, Jake
I love the positivity in this video! 😊 I'm only about 3 hours into the game but I'm loving it so far! One of the cantina patrons, a male of Thrawn's species, called Maron, I instantly recognised that voice actor! 😉😁
I’m currently rocking tributes to some of my favorite Jedi. I’m wearing Luke’s outfit, Obi wans saber, anakins saber, and dual wielding those with a white blade in honour of Ahsoka. My Star Wars nerd brain is just overjoyed I can do that 😂
