    Fun detail: Cere didn't die in Cal's arms, he arrived a good bit later and the entire time we play as her is a force echo Cal is sensing after finding her body.

      I’d disagree, a story game can only be judged truly by the first time you play and experience the twists and turns, along with learning the new combat and finding all the new customization items. Going through and doing it for a second time isn’t the same at all and of course it’s not going to be as good because the excitement and the freshness isn’t there anymore.

    I like to think that Bode and Dagan represent the extremes of what Cal could become. Bode represents giving up the fight running from the empire, and Dagan represents the obsessive desire of Cal to fight the Empire at all costs. Cal is the perfect middle ground, using Tanalorr for the hidden oath represents fughting the empire in a way that allows him to live a life with his loved ones.

    16:35 when Bode gives cal the advice to pursue merrin i actually didn't think there was anything weird about it because the game let's you know multiple times that Bode is a father, which one can only become through a romantic relationship (usually). So I figured he was just alluding to how his relationship led to his daughter whom he very obviously cares for so it was all worth it. Thus, he was paying it forward saying that those relationships are always worth it

    I absolutely fell in love with Fallen Order when I first played it in 2019 because I was growing up at the time, I was a senior in high school and I was fighting some demons and was uncertain about my future. Cere's quote was my saving grace: "We will always struggle, but that is the test. It's the choice to keep fighting that makes us who we are.” That game saved me. When Survivor came out last year the story didn't really resonate with me at the time. But just a few weeks ago I built my first gaming PC and replayed this game. Performance issues aside this game really resonated with me this time around. I literally sobbed at the end where Cal is reflecting over Cere's grave. It's been a hard year for me, trying my hardest to make it as an adult and feeling like I'm not good enough, fighting my own dark side and being on the verge of destruction, and just barely keeping it at bay. Some days its all I can do just to complete basic daily tasks. Cal's progression in this game simply paralleled my own in something so poetic and personal that it struck a deep chord with me. The Hero's Journey story is what Star Wars has always been about since 1977, it makes everything so relatable and reachable. I play these games because of the story. These games have changed my life. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

      Great Ted talk! It’s been the same for me except I’ve been an adult for a little longer and yeah buddy it’s hard and it’s always difficult not to be selfish and make the best decisions. In the end it’s always better to let go of hate and and anger towards the things we can’t control and just focus on the things we can and the people and relationships that will help you reach your full potential. Star Wars literally saves lives and I’m here for it.

      Yeah i agree man. I also got it on my ps4 during my senior year when it came out. It was so simple back then. Seeing the additions the sequel made to the story makes it so much better. The focus on family and trying to find a place to live in peace is always classic story telling. Then seeing Cal delve into the darkness came out of nowhere. The fact that they let the players use the rage mode at their discretion is a great story telling and gameplay implement. Take the easy route and you'll be through rooms of enmies in no time. But those were all people under that armor. And Cal was losing control. I can't wait to see where this story goes. So far Cal Kestis is one of my favorite star wars characters ever

      I did like Survivor. But to be honest I like the first game more.
      I think my problem with the sequel is there's not a lot going on until the final third of the game. After the intro the game just kinda mellows out and isn't very gripping until close to the end.
      I definitely like the new mechanics and gameplay more, and I did like Survivors story whenever it decides to pick up. But it's just not enough for me to prefer it over the first game.
      Also I gotta say the planets and exploration felt dull to me in comparison.
      I think because the two primary locations throughout the whole game are only Khobo and Jeda. Both of which are mostly brown and kinda samey. Both with eachother and within their own environments.
      I like them but there wasn't near enough variety in environment for me. Which made me not care too much for exploring, which I did plenty of.
      I dunno. I think having a tighter story with a little more going on and a few more different environments would definitely benefit the game a lot.
      I'd give it a solid high 7 or low 8 out of 10. I like it, but wish it did a little more.
      Also I wish the game wasn't totally broken and had a playable framerate without crashes and freezes the whole time😂.

      While the issues weren't exactly game breaking like they were on PC at launch it still wasn't great on PS5 or Series X at launch. Frame rates on performance mode regularly dropped into the 40fps mark and even sometimes less. In quality mode it would even drop into the 20s. Now all that seems to be ironed out in the latest patch and it's mostly stable even though they removed a bunch of RT goodies in quality mode.
      Also keep in mind that the game isn't actually running 4k. Performance renders at around 1080p and upsamples to 1440p and Quality renders at about 1152 and upsamples to 4k. All cutscenes run at 30fps.

And then I just eliminated the possibility, until I heard him mention he was going to "record a bedtime story for Kata" and I thought "that's weird, why would he mention exactly where he's going" And then I saw him pull the blaster on Cordova and was in absolute disbelief

    It was a real mind trip to replay the start of the game once you know the betrayal. Bode immediately presents himself as the perfect person for Cal to trust and befriend... and from the force echos later you can tell that it is so calculated. Even if Bode had things he liked and respected about Cal, first and foremost Cal was his target. It was some real CIA behavioral manipulation. Very cold.

    Rick the Door Technician is my favorite boss fight… because you have this very cocky scout trooper who, despite his boss health bar, has normal amounts of HP, and you can just wipe your ass with his defeat so easily.
    My favorite way to kill him is to lift him up into the air, then slam him down, then up again, then slam him down, then up, and then down again. 3 of each, and he dies. You disrespect him so hard

    Have you found a droid named T1N8?
    T1N8's little story broke me. I started looking around that mining shack where I found her and started connecting the dots. When I finally found her in that shack's basement, I noticed a grave "made by someone who had a rudimentary knowledge of what graves looked like." Well, that was T1N8. She dug a grave for her master with her own hands and tried to decorate it. She doesn't say she did it and talks about her masters in a sad tone. Ufffff.
    When I talked to her again next to her masters' home, that brief conversation finally destroyed me.
    What a nice, emotional land mine.

    I've only just played and finished the story mode, and I'm glad I waited. Was getting 90+ FPS, on ultra settings. I loved this game, and actually shed a tear at the funeral scene. My only complaint was it's still a bit buggy, had a couple of crashes during cut scenes, and some weird cloth mechanics with some of the characters, but otherwise one of the best games I have ever played. Can't wait for the final chapter to come out

    I agree. This game has a great story. Super fun to play. The light saber combat flows very nicely…. It’s a definite step up from the first one. It’s like once you play this and then go to battlefront you realize how much better the lightsaber combat is….. my only concern for the third game is that the Director left to start his own company and that worries me because after all of this buildup, waiting in anticipation, if they put the wrong person in charge, you could really mess it up and that would be seriously disappointing

    29:12 (Edit) Dank ferrik. Jacobcenter beat me to it.
    I believe she doesn't die in Cal's arms. I think that Cal finally woke up, returned to the Archives and found Cere's body. As he touches her, his Psychometry activates and he sees all of the Cere playable parts and then her death at Vader's hands. Sure she looks right at Cal but that could be because of precognition as she's joining the Force and sees Cal holding her corpse.
    Now for why I think this? As she "falls" into Cal's arms, the borders of the screen turn blurry like a vision. That and the fact as Cal finally cries, everything "turns" dark around him. We're returning to his present and nothing's left except for a little light and falling ash from Cere's fight.

  • @guts60
    @guts60 6 місяців тому +3

    People were initially very confused at how Cere very nearly killed Vader. “He’s Vader, nobody is as strong as him!”… except it happens quite often in the comics. Cere technically only reached the level of Jedi Knight, however her skills in the force and lightsaber combat matched that of a master during her time as a Survivor. The video does go on to explain that she let go of her fear, and this is true and it does further explain her increased levels in power. She is delved into the Light Side, giving her a large advantage against Vader.
    Yes, Vader is actually nearly killed. He barely hobbles away from the fight, and it is canon in this event that he was going to lose if not for his quick thinking very last second. He only won because Cere did a very dumb move in leaping at him instead of being caution. She honestly could have killed him if she didn’t get reckless and hasty towards the end. However, that would end up screwing with the entirety of the Star Wars timeline from that point on XD

    I hope the third installment features more legacy planets.

    Edit: assuming it makes sense for Cal to visit in the context of the adventure that he’s on.

    The only thing I wish this game did differently was keep cal on the dark side. By the end of the game he goes through so much pain and suffering just to have him brought back from his hate by Merrin. They could have kept him going into a possible 3rd game with anger giving us even more gameplay options by having cal be able to use both sides of the force. The story could even be cals trust in the force as he struggles with his new emotion wanting him to explore both sides of the force while pushing away his friends and people who care about him. Could have even kept bode alive so he can be the main villain going into the next game or have him be a sorta prisoner who cal goes to for advice on the dark side and obviously setting up a redeem ark for bode

    I feel like this game got completely overshadowed by 2023 in a whole.
    The first game came out in a sweet spot where mandalorian had first started airing and it felt like the dawn of a new Star Wars era.
    I saw many people comparing Fallen Order to Jedi Survivor and saying that Fallen Order was better which I thought was insane.
    Jedi Survivor patches out almost all the issues I had with fallen order(back tracking on the maps mostly)
    And adds so many new flavors to the game. It’s a magnum opus of Star Wars games to be frank, great boss fights, an emotional story, several combat styles that are all viable and will keep you entertained the whole way through.
    It was a contender for my GOTY list last year and I’ve been craving a play through on master mode since

  • @raimee81

    I returned to the game and last week finally platinumed it. Then I returned to Fallen order and this week platinumed that. Fantastic games. Couple things that stand out after replaying Fallen Order. The second game is better in almost every way. And 2nd I really appreciate that they take Cal's growth from the first game into account and NOT make you relearn those traversal and some combat/force skills. In that way, the whole 2nd game just feels like the story and characters are moving forward and treading new ground. This sort of game design is so rare. As much as I want a third game, I hope it's game design progression is the same as moving from game 1 to 2. But...if we don't get a that I am very happy to have experienced the 2 we have now. Pretty sure I'll be replaying these games.

This is without a doubt my favorite star wars game, the combat and exploration is top tier and Cal embracing the dark side just topped the cake for me. Although the silly bugs can take you out of the immersion i quickly find myself looking past all the glitches and really sinking myself into the world. If you are a star wars fan, I highly recommend. What an amazing experience.
