    I think what I like most about the sequel is, it's ACTUALLY a sequel. You're not starting over from scratch and relearning everything you did in the first game, that is always a huge plus for me. I don't care all that much for customization as most of it is just cosmetic in nature.

It's a "real game" with a story, and levels, and leveling up, and really fun characters... All while being set in the SW universe.
      It's not just a real game, but a very well executed one. 😊

I want to see actual gameplay and have someone clearly explain what the game is about and you are the best at it and always keep it it a tight 10 mins. No bloat which i appreciate.
    I really enjoy Jake doing the Friday week in review. it feels like listening to a friend talk and not just someone reading a list.

      This one has many of the same spirits as the first one with a goal of safety from the empire. Without spoiling anything you can tell how Cal has really grown based on how he handles tragic situations. He isnt as quick to anger or insecure in his abilities. He is a full fledged jedi, a servant to others which plays differently than being a kid just running from the empire.
      That being said, there are definitely some frame rate issues, glitches, and some choppy animations. But i think the preference between the two games is stylistic/the type of story you like. Great imo

    The first game was such a breath of fresh air, this looks awesome! Love these videos Jake and the Gameranx team!
    Edit: apparently dissing EA with how terrible they’ve been with the Star Wars license before Fallen Order went over everyone’s head. That’s why it’s a breath of fresh air, because EA usually ruins everything they touch and I enjoyed Fallen Order. Stop commenting your transgressions about souls-like games, I just want good Star Wars games as I am a Star Wars fan who also enjoys fun video games.

  • @thaddeusnallphilosophersst6855

    I haven't gotten far into the game at all yet and so far the only complaint that I have is that activating your lightsaber makes a very loud sound that enemies 5ft away from you won't hear it and turn around to engage you. You're practically invisible to enemies unless you're standing right front of them. I'm not complaining that it's too easy or anything like that, just making an observation that just doesn't make sense and kinda takes away from the immersion a little bit. Like the A.I. has a built-in handicap.

    I've played through Fallen Order over half a dozen times. I've got over 150 hours in it and I just did another playthrough a few weeks ago so I'm fully prepared for the continuation of the story.
    Also my first playthrough is 100% gonna be crossguard saber only. If I could use a kyber crystal powered warhammer, I would.
    No real additions to force powers is a bit disappointing. I would have loved to see a very-restricted ultimate ability. Maybe at low HP, after you've filled a bar, you can do a stronger version of one of your force powers. Sorta like what we see Cal do when escaping Order 66 after he gets shot in the ear, freezing a whole set of troopers. I really just want a stronger Force Push, even if it's a limited ability. I know Cal isn't Starkiller.

    Dude Kata has so much potential moving forward I can’t wait for the third game
    I’ve got a hunch she’ll be trained as a “Jedi” under Cal but I got an inkling that Merrin would teach her tricks too.. Imagine Kata being an insane hybrid character of Jedi and Nightsister with a newer idealogy from Cal’s light side beliefs allowing him to have connections
    My hope is the next game we play as Cal where we have Kata as an apprentice and a tremendous emotional baggage of killing her Dad, where Kata as an angsty teen goes back and forth on being irrational as a Jedi nightsister hybrid, and the trilogy concludes where Cal (very much at the level of a Jedi master now) has to sacrifice himself to save Kata, forever imprinting on her the importance of self sacrifice, helping her to understand the difficult decisions that lead up to her father’s murder and setting her up beautifully to be her own stand alone protagonist in a future trilogy
    I don’t have much to base that off of aside from some hopes and dreams and a little bit of dialogue post campaign. Please though. Please. Kata’s potential to be a very complex Jedi Nightsister hybrid is so insanely cool to think about 🫣

The Division 2 style looter shooter without Jedi would be such a fun contrast if done well, but I'm a sucker for good Star Wars & seems Respawn has the ability to make that happen in game form.
