[@ryanedwards7487]

The original Battlefront II is the best Republic / Empire story game ever. Following a 501st clone all the way to Hoth was just...perfect. I only wish we could have had the game go all the way to Endor...or Jakku.

The thing that really ticked me off was I remember them leaning super hard into the you get to play as an Imperial angle only to leave out the fact it’s an Imperial Defector. Other than that the game was fun when I came back to play it during the free weekend

[@Marcyq731]

Yeah I was really hoping Iden would remain diehard imperial but then I remembered it was a battlefront game. We’ll get our imperial commando game one of these days

[@death336]

Yeah I wish they stayed as imperials, it would be so interesting. I actually have an idea where you play as the imperials and it seems like the rebels are sort of evil and you have a friend who gets killed by the rebels and then you see them celebrating over your friends dead body

[@broomhilder]

Same. They even treat them like any other rebel. No concern for defectors to have some semblance of past loyalties. Bit off-putting.

[@adrianwoods2752]

If you liked the ship combat in this game, you’ll love Star Wars Squadrons. It’s basically an Ace Combat game but Star Wars.

[@reborndiajack9612]

And the story is interesting too

[@kamaaad]

Star Wars squadrons felt slow to me, I can't explain how. Kinda like it slides when I look around, if that makes any sense.

[@Nachtfalke-NSKR]

It's like ace combat but I'm not used to going full stop plus the lasers tear you apart pretty fast especially if you roll with an A-wing like me.

[@Phenix19]

Squadrons was great, but the controls were a bit janky for me. Also, I am sort of done with the silent protagonist trope in games; give me an actual character to play

Just one thing: Lex Lang voiced Han in the 2005 Star Wars Battlefront II, but the 2017 Han was voiced by John Armstrong (who has voiced Han in games since Empire At War)

[@ErebusCreations]

The book adds so much more characterization to Inferno Squad. Iden was already have cracking loyalties at the end of the book. It also gets more into the father daughter relationship. Spoilers ahead for the book: There was 1 other member of Inferno Squad he causes the cracking in the trust iden has for the empire

In my mind this is actually 2 different games. The boring at launch micro-transaction bug filled mess of a game.. and the amazing post launch shooter that was so much fun to play with friends. The story while not amazing does a decent job and would definitely like to have seen more of it.

Star Wars Battlefront 2…. A phoenix of a game if we ever saw one

[@EllieMiller510]

I always loved Matt Mercer as Luke. You can hear a little of Chrom in his voice whenever he yells.

[@aegis6485]

My biggest problem with the story is how fast Versio changes sides. For someone who has been serving the Empire for a long time, the naïvete on how they treat non-human species is just weird and the instantaneous switch flip is even weirder. No conflict of conscience or trying to rationalize, it is just an immediate switch to traitor.

[@death336]

Yeah. I wish she didn’t turn traitor. Or at least she didn’t join the rebellion. I would have hoped where she goes out on her own and don’t join any of the two sides

[@SirFlooberis]

Apparently she had already been having wavering loyalty to the empire before the DS2 blew up.

[@darthcerebus]

BIG agree. At the very least have her stay until near the end and then play as Hask. Way too many things have been doing the "bad guy turns good" or "They've always been good but never knew how to do it and later learned" and it was just so boring of a trope by this point. I love Forceh Unleashed more than almost every other Star Wars game and despite doing the same, it was less "full evil to full good" and more "full evil to semi-evil for the sake of good" because with what he does he definitely is not keeping to the Jedi's style of mercy and holding himself back for the enemy's sake.

[@jasonnightshade8319]

“We weren’t expecting special forces” “Well maybe if you could deal with a couple of bears with sharp sticks maybe we wouldn’t be here.”

[@magosmarechferracioli1128]

7:20 To be fair, some NCO just ordered an Admiral/Moff to attack an enemy cruiser, even though his ship was trapped in a docking clamp and unable to fight. Granted, that character is an asshole for his next few scenes, but in this instance it is justified considering Hask *should know* that the ISD can't fight back.

[@keithkania3810]

One thing I’ll never forget doing in game is terrorizing and tearing through the clone ranks as grievous while playing his 2003 theme.

[@ronstoppable5198]

14:00. This one of the funniest lines I have ever heard in a game. Right up with from Stargate where he says if you die, can I have your stereo.

[@adam6620]

After the game rose up from microtransactions to greatness, I finally got around to playing this campaign. It was still fun since I already loved the original 2015 Dice BF as a kid so it was like reliving something bigger than I ever imagined, especially in the multiplayer modes.

For Win number 34, there was an even earlier reveal of the 'Messenger'. If you have ever played the Tie Fighter games (which are on steam), you get missions from them. I don't remember if they had Palp's face, but I remember them giving you extra objectives for the mission you were about to do.

[@coreyg2467]

Well now I gotta see a squadrons review. The gameplay style will be a fun aspect.

[@Falkirion]

The one thing that irks me about most games stories is the constant redemption angle. I'm tired of playing as Imps who see the light and defect. I want to play as a Stormtrooper commando, or an Inquisitor, or just someone who doesn't want to jump ship to the Alliance.

I would really recommend listening to the Inferno Squadron audiobook which janina Gavankar narrates. It really expands on their relationships with in the team and with her father.

[@kaneunmaskedal]

I feel that the game abandoned the empire storyline to early. I think they should of shown some origins of Inferno Squad where they're on a mission with Vader or Boba.

[@mitchellhayward6492]

One pet peeve I always have is how the word "empire" is used to refer to the "bad guys". In the case of Star Wars, the Empire is a Galaxy-spanning government. 90% of the Galaxy is part of the Empire, so if you grow up on a world like Alderaan, Corellia, or Naboo, you don't "join the Empire". You're already a citizen/subject. The wording that should have been used from the very beginning of this franchise is "military", which would really drive home the point that the Rebels are fighting against their own nation - not fighting just a bunch of stormtroopers, TIE Fighters, and star destroyers - but your own people; like fighting our own country's government and military. And attached to this idea, I recall Garrick Versio's line "the Empire is our home". As much as I am disappointed in this story, I like to think that his actual meaning when he says that line is "our home is not just one world, we have millions of other worlds we can call home". And come to think of it, if you forget about the doomsday context of the scene, and think of the line that way, "the empire is our home" sounds weirdly... nicely patriotic.

[@joe3019772008]

i enjoyed this game right off the bat, i was not concerned with the micro transactions like everyone else was, i wanted to play the story. i enjoyed all of it including the dlc that tied into the TFA. my only problem with it is ea and dice just gave up on it. but, it mostly was because of the sequel trilogy cry babies who became very pissed off that star wars isn't to their liking anymore and they harassed the devs of BF2 all the time on tweeter over how things are taking too long and so, on.

[@lisaleyendekker8305]

I'd argue Fin wasn't the first "trooper" to remove his helmet, that belongs to commander Cody in Revenge of the Sith. Also, I wouldn't say the messenger guard that gave the orders for Operation Cinder was "foreshadowing" of Palpatine's return, it was just a recording he made in case of his untimely death to give his last "F" you to the galaxy: If Palps doesn't survive, he'd make sure the Empire/Galaxy died with him along with burying any of his secrets.

[@fancyowl2897]

The campaign for the game wasn't bad. I'm someone that vastly prefers Legends/Expanded Universe to Disney's Star Wars, but there are some gems tucked away in all the debris that I can appreciate. I just wish we had a game where we played as an Imperial to truly see their side from start to finish as opposed to another defector (though those stories are fun too). That's why I loved the original Battlefront 1 and 2 campaigns because the second especially has you play as a clone in the Clone Wars and the Galactic Empire and hearing those journal entries is nothing short of spectacular. They really drive you into the mindset of a clone going through those events.

I’d really like to request a review on Assassins Creed: Odyssey. I think there’s a lot from the game to unpack from the main story about fixing a broken family, understanding trauma, and finding one’s place in the world. Also the game so beautiful. Also even though given the choice between two protagonists, the female one is the canon protagonist and by personal opinion of seeing both characters played, the female lead made the experience more enjoyable with her voice acting. Even if it doesn’t get reviewed on this channel I really implore people to just give it a try, it was just turn after turn with the game also the beautiful banter and quips available makes it so nice to just get a laugh out it even when the game is in hard times.
