[@4mbrose]

Need a Star Wars version of Ghost of Tsushima ngl

[@KillerBot5100]

Yea but the stances in the game are just more utilitarian and gameplay-focused than having to describe and differentiate 7+ different forms. Much more user-friendly to say “this stance uses a blaster” “this stance uses two sabers” “this stance uses a crossguard saber” than having to sift through stats

[@jacobgeiger4589]

To be fair that is basically what it does. While it doesn’t use their names, these stances are for the most part in the lore. Dual sabers and double bladed are aggressive in both the movies and tv shows, the single blade stance uses moves that copy Obi wan from the movies largely if you look closely, and the cross guard is finally getting better lore here by it being explained that it was a heavy enforcement attachment for the high republic and not just Kyle’s design for his overheating crystal.

[@okkefaber9993]

i just want a remake and possibly expanded version of jedi academy wich had multiple light saber stances especially if you used the single blade you have a fast, normal and heavy stance where you could easily switch between the 3 if you used a double bladed saber you could also switch it to single bladed and with the dual wield saber you were insanely fast you could throw 1 saber still fight with the other and then the force powers were awesome like fuck all that pussy light side force powers shit let me use the force lightning and choke who agrees with me that they prefer playing as a dark jedi for the dark side force powers because they are 100x more fun than push and pull

I think the greatsword lightsaber was kinda a silly idea… it’s a fucking lightsaber it’s not like it’s going to weigh more if you makes it’s weightless blade a bit longer so there’s no reason to make the weapon slower. I probably won’t use that weapon because making a big lightsaber move slow seems like a dumb idea. By that logic double bladed lightsabers should be heavy as all hell lmao. EDIT: I’m really happy they beefed up the customization though so you can make your Jedi how you want, one of the things that peeved me about the previous game was having 50 different color variations of the same fucking poncho lol.

[@Captain_Insano_nomercy]

Bruh same. I'm a medieval weapons collector/historian and it's simply the dumbest idea ever. Those blades don't have weight at all (from what we know) so there's no reason for it to be slow. Not to mention you can cut with no kinetic energy whatsoever, so big swings are illogical as well. Lightsaber pikes and spears are stupid too because you can't safely block at all. There's a lot of very unrational combat regarding lightsabers

[@carsonnesbit1178]

@@Captain_Insano_nomercy yea seeing him throw all of his weight into a lightsaber swing with such a heavy and slow animation made me face palm. I mean you can look up irl videos of montante practitioners swinging zweihanders way faster than that. It just seems super silly, especially since the game includes a double bladed lightsaber that is much larger but somehow much faster?

By the time you seen all you can at a specific time your whole map is splattered with red signs saying you can't go there yet. It's just way to much.

Hey eck, think you can do a video about the supposed "project blackwing" helmet next to the IG unit head in the mando season 3 finale?

[@Sarge327]

Now I can only laugh at all the people that make fun of console players, have fun with your constant frame drops in the next-gen morons. But it’s very sad for the respectful people that let others enjoy what they want.

So rewatching Force Awakens and I noticed something. 11:00 mins in when we first see Rey. Take a closer look. She force jumps from where she standing to the rope across a gap. Am I just late to the debate?

[@natanaellilja476]

Donated. I hate the unfairness and seeming randomness of who gets to enjoy life and who's is just taken away, extremely sad. I also want to say I look at both your Hockey and Star Wars content, they are my favorite videos to watch and I think its really nice to have get to share those two really different interests with someone maybe its more common than I know! Praying for this research to be successful in finding a good way to treat or prevent this disease. For Terry and all like him!

Funny how I just knew you from your hockey channel and not this one. Glad I found EckhartsLadder. Subbed :)

Damn I was really hoping the dual wielding regular and reversed grip stance was gonna be in here. I love Blade-dancing styles, they are swift and purposeful in execution. I guess it just harkens back to my time with TFU2 and BF2 (05'), especially BF2 on Felucia, where id spend hours as Ayla just wrecking Aklays and Droids for fun-zies.

When the next Gen version of the Witcher 3 came out it had some pretty big issues day 1 especially on pc, next day they dropped a patch which patched a large amount of serious problems like low frame rate with Ray tracing on. Surprising considering it's the same people who made cyberpunk

Do you think DLC is possible after playing through the story?

[@historyman134]

Donated. Love what you do. Thank you for highlighting this initiative.

[@bonzujones8028]

I find it hard to articulate but in fallen order I found the enemy combat.. rhythmical. What I was really hoping for (though I’m not sure it’s possible) was for enemies to be aware of each other and be more adaptable individually.. like firing a quick blaster shot laying down after being knocked over, or waiting for another to get out the way instead of a group of 5 swirling batons around like idiots.

[@josephercanbrack8393]

Yeah, It's a souls-like in the most basic sense I guess. Combat is largely defensive, but enemy AI and variety seldom approach standard souls difficulty. Honestly, remove the Star Wars skin, and it doesn't really compare to any true souls game.

[@bonzujones8028]

@@josephercanbrack8393 I’ve never played souls but I hear the comparison a lot. Like I said I don’t even know if it’s possible to achieve what we’re imagining, as it’s hard enough to achieve in a real life fight scene.

[@Copper6siege]

Massive props for the first minute of the vid

[@CommanderRion]

Huh. You say 20 Hours is long, I had hoped the game would be at least 30-40 hours long. Also I had really hoped for more big explorable planets, not less (as it sounds from your video). Fallen Order really only had 3 planets worth exploring fully and my expectation of Jedi Survivor was at least double that, if not more. The Inquisition not being a big story focus also confuses me. All in all this made me a bit more hesitant about even wanting to play this game. Fallen Order was great because it was a relatively toned down Star Wars Jedi experience. You werent a superpower Jedi slaughtering your way through hundreds of enemies, you were just a Padawan who was slowly regaining his connection with the force. You didnt zip all over the place, your force powers were basic. Cals lightsaber fighting style was crude and simplistic, but it worked. This looks more like an an action hack and slay ala Force Unleashed than the last game. I am not sure if I am a fan.

[@GameEsthetics]

I agree… I was hoping for a longer experience and if not bigger planets at least more planets to explore! The marketing made it seem like they were gonna be massive

[@shockd1220]

There’s six planets, I’m around 15 hours into the story and have done like a half of what there is to do on 2 of the major planets. I’m only 60% through the story currently. The lack of planet variety is made up for the fact that koboh is the size of all of the fallen order planets combined

[@sinuouscomet049mm9]

I preordered. Looking forwards to playing once I’m off worl

[@DRGWRailfan]

Would be super sick if we got a movie about Cal Kestis!

[@Depressedinosaur330]

Just curiosity but are there swimming sections in this game similar to that in Jedi Fallen Order?

[@mhenryj5525]

I don’t understand your complaint about the planets and going back and forth because I just replayed the first game and that’s just how it was there and I thought it was fine so I don’t get how that’s any different although I haven’t play survivor yet and could just no have the context behind your complaint

[@abdalla8558]

The intro segment, has Ghostrunner inspiration, highly recommended game.

[@speedwagon6-e1b]

Variety is overrated imo. Just from the trailers alone, the high republic jedi, the gendaii bounty hunter, and the Drya Thornne guy are all more interesting bosses to me compared to the ones in Fallen Order

[@Randomized_tv]

Should i buy this game? Does it have enough free roaming customisation etc?

[@Toerinator]

3080ti with such performance? That's really weird. I already saw their requirements being really high, 8 gigs of VRAM? The rumored 4050 would only have 6. I get such cards shouldn't be able to run it at max settings... but they should be able to run a game. (Although rubbish, also a 6500XT should be able to run last gen stuff at lowest settings imo, especially with FSR. There a plenty of budget gamers out there.)

[@hopebringer2348]

That platforming looks so simple yet fun

[@donk8961]

Watching for the combat breakdowns, I felt the first was ShallowSouls and it wasn't enough to get me to stick around for the story I wasn't invested in. Performance issues are shocking though, adding this to the bin of "buy in a year"

Structure wise I was hoping it would be like the original ratchet and clank where worlds had a main path, a combat path and a gadget/parkour path, also two planet option for where to go next. Was hoping we could spend more time just fleshing out the galaxy and it's inhabitants and going on more light hearted adventures
