Spergatory posted:Here's a potentially useful exploit; your Force powers don't use meter outside of combat. The tell is the meter itself; you can only see it when an enemy has noticed you and is moving to engage. Fortunately for you, the range of your Force powers is greater than most enemies' aggro range, so you can actually use the Force to kill a lot of them for free if you play it right. The mind trick is actually using Force Push on little parts of the brain to cause mini-strokes before the enemy recognizes you.

Actually the purpose of out of combat force powers is to make Cal look at his hand with great confusion while waiting for the elevator

I just started playing last night, and is it just me or is the control remapping totally busted? The default controls have some buttons serving multiple uses, i.e. a combat action and a navigation action. But when you remap the button it removes it from both actions, and if you try to double bind a button it will remove it, so there is no way to truly rebind the controls, since there will always be an action or two unbound. Am I doing something wrong, or is this poo poo just bugged?

I think...it depends on which buttons you want to double map. I rebound just about all of my controls (using a DS4) and I remember having a few conflicts and picked some alternate things. Sorry if this isn't particularly helpful, maybe give us a specific example of a binding you want?

Im trying to set the shoulder buttons to be lightsaber attacks (L2 block/parry, R2 attack, R1 force attack, L1 dodge) and face buttons for jump and force powers, but doing so removes the ability to climb (L2 default) and drop down (O default)

Hmm yeah it doesn't seem to like using O for both drop and a force power (probably so one of the force aerial moves doesn't conflict). Drop isn't a particularly critical button though so can you live with it being on L1 or something? I was able to get it to use L2 for both block and climb, so if you still can't do that it might be a bug? I'm on PC using a DS4 through Steam fwiw. (If you're still having trouble, you can do what I did and set Climb to R3 and call it a day) mellowjournalism fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Dec 14, 2019 |

Switching attack to R1 was a life saver for me. Got the platinum last night. Loved everything except getting the terrarium to grow.

gently caress that extended Gorgara on Dathomir QTE "boss fight" was awful. I figured out what I was in for when I noticed I wasn't losing any health the first couple of times I missed.

Yeah...it wasn't enough to ruin the game or anything, but it very much had that feel of the devs really wanting that sequence in whether or not it really worked gameplay-wise.

The planet in general feels a little "light" compared to the others. Like it was the last map they worked on and didn't have time to really flesh it out. Not as bad as, say, Chinatown in Vampire: Bloodlines, but still noticeable.

Welp, just finished it. That last section was pretty much the highlight of the whole game. There needs to be more stuff establishing that Darth Vader really is an unstoppable monster who hung around with Jedi who were Legends in of themselves amongst those who can use the Force. It would put into context why, when watching them in the movies, they seem all just as competent, yet everyone just absolutely runs from him when he's Vader. I think some of the animated shows treated him like this too and it was pretty great. It really helps reinforce how the Empire was able to just dominate everybody.

Just got this game for 45% off and still not very happy with it. The controls aren't responsive enough for this sort of game and the frame rate is hella choppy on the Most Powerful Console in the World(TM).

I never had a problem with controls but two things I had to get used to was not being able to cancel attacks with blocking or dodging and that you cant block as fast as you can press the button. If you miss a parry at the start of a quick string of attacks just keep blocking.

I'm fighting in some arena after being captured and I cannot for the life of me beat this poo poo. The stupid big spider guys are impossible to manage when you also have one of those giants attacking you and random bugs showing up stunlocking you. I could drop the difficulty down from Jedi Master for this one fight but I don't want to god dammit

Yeah, whenever the spiders raise their legs to attack you, you can parry them for an instant kill (and a full force bar).

I'm glad some of the more irritating enemies do have OHKO moves if you parry correctly The Deathclaws on Dathomir have something similar if you parry them three times in a row

Got tired of Deliveryman Simulator 2019, so I booted up Fallen Order again to see how it felt having a better idea what I was doing. drat, it's fun to just clown on Second Sister in the intro fight once you realize that Matrix dodging is viable rather than rolling around everywhere. "Ah, perhaps you've had some training after all!" *Cal just starts effortlessly sliding away from every strike*

Looking like it's a race between Fallen Order and the Mandalorian for Best Star Wars content this year.  Can you imagine buying one of the most popular, enduring, and beloved IPs in the world, jettisoning 90% of its canon, and then running it into the ground because you have no actual plans or good ideas of what to do with it? Incredible.

Posting the RT page is an easier shorthand for "people didn't like this" than posting the Twitter hashtag, which probably has a bunch of spoilers. But if it helps; we're getting to the point where normal people have watched the movie as well, and they didn't seem to like it very much either.  ImpAtom posted:Also "90% of its canon" being... What? The New Republic falls within Luke and Leias lifetime? Han and Leia's son turns evil? The Emperor Returns? Thrawn? Literally everything except the movies, including both KOTORs. Look, I'm not saying all that stuff was great, but you know, they could've been a little more selective in what got the axe. Why not just kill all the post ROTJ stuff? It seems like a really easy solution and a great way to, like, not spit in the face of long time franchise fans while still leaving yourself plenty of room to do your own thing. Of course, that still wouldn't fix the problems with the sequel trilogy, which boils down to them having no plan or vision or artistic integrity of any kind. Everyone complained about episode 7 being too similar to 4? gently caress! Throw out all the stuff that was setting up, give the sequel to a different guy and take it in wildly new directions! OH poo poo, everyone hates it, go back, go back to the previous guy! Course correct! Course correct!

Back to the game for a second, I was extremely disappointed to find you can't skip cutscenes, I absolutely thought I remembered being able to do that after the intro section. That's just unacceptable for a modern game, I guess it apparently didn't bug me much the first time around since I was engaged by the story, but it kinda kills my interest in going back to do a quicker run any time in the near future. Much better to let you just go back to dabble in the gameplay and exploration while skipping all that.

Reminder that Lucas' vision for a sequel trilogy was an Osmosis Jones style adventure through the microscopic world of midichlorians. The sequel trilogy may go down in the books as uneven and on the balance bad, but at least we have a good streaming show to watch. LOL that with a bounty hunter show enrapturing hitherto disillusioned fans EA shitcanned it's big AAA bounty hunter open world game.

The sorting algorithm of quality goes BEST Consistent vision, also good. Inconsistent vision, still good. Consistent vision, but bad. Inconsistent vision, also bad. WORST TROS seems to fall squarely in the bottom category.

Also the EU was loving awful. Disney is doing exactly what you are saying and keeping parts of it and that is part of the problem. The old EU had like four good ideas most of which came from one trilogy of books It also doesn't help that if they do something different people scream angrily about how they are murdering their childhood. Pretty much all the complaints about ROS are "this film puts pleasing fans and being safe over being a good stand alone film." Which sucks if you wanted something else but was inevitable after TLJ.

The complaints I'm seeing also run the gamut of "Abrams wanted to do episodes 8 and 9 so he just crammed his episode 8 into episode 9 and it shows and it suffers for it." They should've either given him the entire trilogy and let him make dumb popcorn fun, or followed through on the pivot of TLJ. Instead, they just pivoted again. Nobody likes a double pivot.
