Jedi Survivor VS Force Unleashed 2

In this video, we're comparing two notable Star Wars sequels: Jedi Survivor and The Force Unleashed 2, to see what makes a good and bad Star Wars sequel game.

[@light819]

I always remember the biggest complaint about force unleashed 2 being that it was so incredibly short

[@aamirrazak3467]

Yea I recall how brief the campaign was being the main issue people had with it. Some felt the story was a bit meh and rushed also

[@edbeasant9494]

Yh I played it and remember getting to end thinking is that it? Lol

[@SilverEye91]

To me that's the best part. Really liked the first game but I just wanted the sequel to be over. Really disliked both the gameplay and story unfortunately.

[@edbeasant9494]

@SilverEye91 I thought the gameplay was fine but it shot its bolt very early on probably because it was so short.

[@EntaraXia]

Not only short but lacking content and extremely repetitive ( which is jarring for a 4 hour game) which felt like a rushed product and a scam for the consumer. ( and yes it was). It's more like an expansion pack than a real sequel. Despite that the base gameplay was very fun'to me. But yeah what a waste...

[@kclink1579]

The main problems i had with TFU2 is that it felt more like a demo then the fall game. I remember getting it the day it came out and got to Death Vader thinking how is Starkiller going to escape and why are we fighting Vader this early in the game........somehow it was already the last boss. Traded the game back the same day.

[@AllisterVinris]

There's also the price tag to life span ratio to take into consideration. The force unleashed 2 was marketed as a full game, with the length of a DLC Jedi survivor, despite its technical flaws upon release, was marketed as a full game and WAS a full game, longer even than its predecessor. That may not have anything to do with a good "sequel" but it impacts generally what one might consider a good "game"

[@Icybubba]

I grabbed Survivor on sale and it's definitely been worth it

[@AllisterVinris]

@@Icybubba Good call, if you can get it for cheap and have something capable of running I say go for it.

[@aamirrazak3467]

Other examples of great Star Wars sequels include battlefront 2 2005 and KOTOR 2 imo. Both added to and enhanced their previous iterations, though KOTOR 2 was hampered by rushed timeline and having to cut out a lot, but it’s superb w restored content mod imo

[@Subzerobyrd]

Despite Kotor 2 being rushed and kind of short it’s still a great game even without the restored content mod

[@Nerdstorm003]

How wild would it be if Galan/Starkiller shows up in the Survivor sequel as like a reoccurring villain or something.

[@DoratTheKiller]

Could be one of the more powerful Inquisitors (First Brother, idk), and eventually progress beyond that and become a full-fledged apprentice of Vader, as a justification for being a constant and ever-increasing threat to Cal.

[@OvertheHedge06]

I think time has not really been kind on the Force Unleashed games but they really were unique Star Wars games that we haven't seen anything like since and I would've liked to see Starkiller's story conclude

[@18yearsoldnot]

​@@OvertheHedge06 absolutely loving the force unleashed 2 just for the physics. I'm happy they killed the series rather than do an ubisoft and convert assassins creed into witcher 2 and trying (while failing) to appeal to gen z

[@deadpoolrockz6410]

Force Unleashed 2 is still an example of a game having a short rushed development cycle, which then drastically affects the final products length and quality. Regardless, I really do wish we could continue the story of Starkiller.

[@robertgreally]

I wanted to see a conclusion, but after I heard they considered incorporated into Filoni's fan fiction, I definitely think starkiller's narrative is best left untainted by the Disney/Fioloni era.

[@jamariojackson4289]

Filoni’s “fan fiction”, whatever he does is canon rather you like it or not. It’s funny when I see comments like that, then people say what they would do if they worked for Star Wars… and it ends up being the worse things I’ve ever heard come to mind lol.

A lot of the force combos from FU1 were also absent in FU2 … so gameplay got repetitive because I wasn’t forcing myself to memorize different combos and trying them as I killed hordes of enemies

[@tibsky1396]

I think there should have been just one TFU game. A sort of mix of both with their best qualities. The Graphics of 2, a mix of the two for the gameplay, the scenario of 1 with elements of 2, etc...

[@Moxzot]

Forced unleashed 2 was awesome back in the day and there was nothing else like it, i loved it.

[@beepbeeplettuce5890]

Just because you love it doesn't mean it's good

[@Tateisadrummachine]

The combat in TFU2 beats every other game that has you playing as a force user.

[@ServantOfOdin]

Well, TFO2 has all these weird plot-elements not for the obviousness... Galen "Starkiller" Marek didn't found the alliance, he laid out the basics (as a ruse for the Empire) and saw it wiped at the end of TFO1. It was truly founded after his death by his friends and allies in his name with the crest of his family. He had no idea they survived all that and continued, especially given that he as a clone was created after all that. Rahm Kota wasn't a slave on Cato Nemoidia for fun, he got captured and in typical Jedi fashion decided to sit it out until an opportinuty arose that he deemed Force-sent enough to be the reason behind his capture. HE didn't go to Juno right away because the galaxy is vast and he had no lead on her, her being an elusive rebel.

[@NerdyWeaponXGames]

Love both of these games, but I’m still screaming for a Mandalorian game - it NEEDS to happen.

Survivor was definitely the better of the two. I felt like TFU2 was lacking in a lot of places, and the way they had you ATTEMPT to unlock secondary lightsaber colors was outrageous. Survivor had slow moments, but I still enjoyed it from start to finish.

[@tanvir.m85]

[@bigkmoviesandgames]

Say what you want about the Force Unleashed but at least the lightsabers weren't glorified LED Wiffle ball bats.

[@jlev1028]

What game have you been playing? In Force Unleashed, every enemy stronger than a Stormtrooper tanks lightsaber attacks and the only damage the player sees is the occasional decapitation or limb dismemberment. At least Jedi Survivor fixed the absence of the latter while retaining burn marks.

[@bigkmoviesandgames]

@@jlev1028 the burn marks are a nice touch but a lightsaber is supposed to take off limbs. I'm not saying the to Force unleashed is perfect cuz even the Jedi Knight games had some burn marks but I'd much rather take an arm flying across the screen or a decapitation over hitting a stormtrooper and he just has a little brown mark on his face. I can forgive tougher enemies in the Force Unleashed and jedi survivor being more durable if not just for the sake of the challenge but even you have to admit that a base-level enemy like a stormtrooper Should Fall to Pieces if hit by a lightsaber. Disney in General has really weakened the lightsaber to the point where it's kind of a joke.

[@thesithsaiyan4864]

The first Force Unleashed game didn’t have any dismemberment either. It wasn’t until the second where you could dismember Stormtroopers.

[@bigkmoviesandgames]

@@thesithsaiyan4864 that is true but I was referring to the second game since that what the videos about I should have specified that, my bad. But even Force Unleashed 2 wasn't the first game to feature dismemberment hell Revenge of the Sith and the Jedi Knight games did as well.

It's not a bad game or anything but there's just no reason to buy or play Force Unleashed 2 if you have the first part, because it simply doesn't do anything better than the first part.

Problem with all Star Wars stuff trying to fit between Sith and New Hope is there are only abkut 20 years to squeeze things into.

TFU2 is an absolute trash game. Can't combo enemies(They have force block, teleport, resistance to your attacks or basic stormies just dies in 1 or 2 swings), force powers not accurete as first game(In first game you can throw someting blindly and you can hit something but in sequel i can't throw something to enemy 2 feet away from me), final boss was disappointment and challenge missons were hard as hell(I bet even creator of those challenges would have hard time). Yes also it is little short just like as everyone saying but I think story is not that bad but gameplay, It is too bad. Whole game is like swinging bats to stones. It had potential to surpass first game but TFU 1 is better in everyway. Honestly didn't play jedi survivor but no way i am going to say TFU2 is better or good game.

And you had more control over your abilities while 2 makes them all really overpowered at the cost of how well they played. For example, force grip in 1 let you choose if you lift 1 or more enemies. In 2, if you upgraded it, you'll always grip more than 1 enemy if possible.

Star wars the force unleashed was to short thats my only complain about it, well and the small amount of enemy types

[@christianscrogins663]

The gameplay in TFU 2 was a HUGE downgrade from TFU 1. See an enemy wielding lightsabers? Gotta kill them using Force powers and only Force powers. See a red Sith acolyte that can use Force powers and has no lightsabers? You gotta get in there and cut him up because he will deflect every single force power you throw at him. The amount of rock paper scissors BS you had to do in that game was so immersion breaking, and it pissed me off. In TFU 1 you could kill just about anything in any sort of creative way imaginable. Sure certain enemies might be resistant to a particular attack, but you could still find a dozen other ways to kill them. It felt kind of like a Prototype game toned down a bit and thrown into the Star Wars universe, and it was awesome. TFU 2 was nothing like that.

[@plasmawarper5837]

tfu2 was more fun. Also the novel was great and greatly expanded the story

[@billycurrythe2nd]

I loved jedi survivor. Thought the story was great (insert Flandrew buuuut here) my issue with Bo's motivation at the very end made little sense. He basically wanted to kill Cal to take Talinor for himself and his daughter alone to be safe from the empire. But Cal also wanted to be safe from the empire, ok they might have had different ideas on how to do that but Bo basically died over very little difference between the 2 approaches. Also the kid really did not seem bothered her dad was dead in the post game when jetting across the galaxy. That was my only issue with the story for that one, otherwise it was really good.

[@BRC1298]

Cal wanted to use Tanalorr for the Hidden Path, which would make it a target if the Empire ever found out about it.

[@billycurrythe2nd]

@BRC1298 yeah I got that. I just didn't think think that was worth potentially dying for, or murdering people infront of his kid. Anyway it not a huge plot hole or anything just something that bugged me.

[@CosmicSatanas23]

​@billycurrythe2nd From Bodes POV, His daughter is literally being held as collateral by the ISB and the ISB know pretty much everywhere he would try to go in the Galaxy. Plus the head of the ISB knew Bode was a Jedi. Once his usefulness was used up and he was outed as an Ex-Jedi, he was as good as dead, and who knows what Vader would do with his Force Sensitive daughter? He needed a way out and he needed it fast. Its pretty much the only reason he sidetracks his original mission of infiltrating Cal's team. From his perspective, once Cal switched from leaving the Galaxy to training a force to fight the empire, thereby ruining the only safe hiding place from the empire, he did what he felt was the only thing he could do to protect his daughter. You know raising a force of that magnitude would cause a massive disturbance in the force and Sidious and Vader will definitely sense it and seek it out, and Bode probably figures this. He's still a dick though.

Tbh I thought survivor was less enjoyable than fallen order so for me the situation with TFU is the same here

[@felman87]

We need another KOTOR like Star Wars game. One that takes places far away from the timeline we're all kind of sick of. I don't care if we go far into the past or future, just get away from the Fall of the Republic/Empire.

[@robertgreally]

Shortness aside, I had fun with Force Unleashed 2, which something I can say I did not have Survivor due to the combat system, level design and narrative. Like all Disney era star wars, its all so soulless and overly dramatic

[@nestorgonzalez8021]

TFU2 took away the feature of cutting up stormtroopers… demo had that featured

[@Nichies]

yeah idk who was shouting from the rooftops but force unleashed 2 wasn’t that bad

[@TheJediMasterPro]

I can faithfully say that Jedi Survivor is one of the best Star Wars games I've ever played, it improved on everything that Fallen Order did right and fixed nearly everything it did wrong, the slower pacing of the narrative to focus in heavily on character motivations with brief spurts of excitement to keep the stakes up and tensions raised before unraveling it's true machinations and ending with high emotions and lots of action is a very Star Wars thing to do too. Yes there are bugs, yes the performance sucks, yes the game crashes... often, but I don't regret preordering it and I definitely don't regret playing it it's genuinely such a good game that I honestly can't wait for the 3rd game The inverse of this is TFU 2, where it's nonstop it keeps throwing more and more and more at you and while it's fun on a surface level it gets dull very quickly once you realize there's very little substance there which is a shame because it does have a brilliant setup and interesting concept and most importantly an interesting question to ask about Starkiller's Clone, but it squanders it and the final battle is so boring that I actually believed it took 2 hours until I realized only 20 minutes had passed - compared to TFU1 it's such a letdown that it actually makes me hope for what I know won't come which is TFU3 just so we can get the follow-up the first game truly deserves, rather than excitement to see how it'll expand on the second game

[@yrooxrksvi7142]

Jedi Survivor failed horribly on the villains. Dagan Gera is a one-note bratty child with no nuance outside of "Muh Tanalorr", and Bode's betrayal was telegraphed from the trailers, and by the time it happened, they made him way too unredeemable to remotely care for him.

>that thumbnail Say, Flandrew? *Which of your internal organs would you say is your favorite?* I kid, I kid, but actually now that I mention it? Who would you think would win in a fight - Kyle Katarn, or Starkiller (Galen Marek)?

[@EskChan19]

Obviously Starkiller. Kyle Katarn is a way better character, since Starkiller is pretty much just a 14 year olds edgy power-fantasy self-insert. He's basically like Rey, except his game wasn't terrible. Well the story was about as bad but at least the game played well. But yeah Kyle Katarn is from a grounded, traditional Shooter, while Galen Marek is from a hack and slash game. Galen Marek is SUPPOSED an unstoppable Mary Sue who cannot lose. So there's simply no debate here. That's like asking "Who would win in a fight Episode 6 Luke or Episode 1 Anakin?"

I just hate the reverse saber stance looks so dumb and not practical

[@Niko-ys9ie]

I must be the minority because I can’t stand Survivor. Yes SWTFU2 is incredibly short but it continues right after the first installment.

[@user-eh1vp3ev3c]

No matter how short and bland TFU2 is, it will always be a better sequel to me. Not only did they improve the combat system in every imaginable way, it actually runs properly at 60fps on pc. A game you can actually play is an infinitely better game in my opinion. Of course I'd rather just play Fallen Order than either of TFU games.

[@5MR0]

Agree

[@woelikeme]

I really dislike the mixing of styles in Jedi games. It's the same with the modern God of War games. Just doesn't do anything for me and I cannot get hooked. They're not bad just not for me FU2 however I loved the power trip as a kid and the costumes and customization. Nothing gets me hooked like good costumes

[@BrokenCircle1]

FU2 was bad because it had hardly any levels.

[@Hriskataaa]

the answer is easy: both of these suck & cant compare to Jedi Outcast -> STILL no jedi game has come close to it... (not counting Academy, as I just count them as one)

[@edeyboy2931]

Not that I'm hating it, but I find Jedi Survivor to be quite high on the spectrum of tedium. The first one was full of it too, but I found it to be a bit tighter in overall progress. By contrast the sequel appears to have just doubled down on the parts of the first game that seemed only there to pad out the story. Just getting around is a little annoying. Force Unleashed 2 I never really got into. The first game was heaps of fun, but for whatever reason I just didn't get around to playing the sequel. Seems like it would be a less annoying sequel at the very least 😅

[@Atriox93]

would choose the Force Unleashed over Survivor fr

[@GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli]

The biggest disappointment is that the Jedi series is Canon, but hasn't been used at all by Disney other than ripping off beats in Obi-Wan. And TFU isn't Canon despite actually having input from George Lucas, and we could have used Starkiller to kill off all the terrible Dave Filoni characters.

[@konradfun]

Would've kinda appreciated a spoiler alert to the ending of the first Force Unleashed for those who haven't played it

[@picblick]

What really bugged me about Force Unleashed 2 when it was released was that it looked worse than the original. I don't mind bad looking games, but when the story is bland, the gameplay is shallow and the game is pretty much a funky power fantasy, it better looks the type as well. And the fact it looked worse was obvious as soon as you look at the installation size: 30GB for the original, 10GB for the sequel. And for an additional head-scratcher the gaming press back in the day claimed it was a graphical upgrade. No. It was not.

[@SyamDaRos-EndoManno]

I think it was for the sake of optimisation on consoles. I've played both on PS3, and the second one runs much smoother. If you look closely it's less detailed, "flatter" than the first game, but the overall image was very good (the city in the second level was impressive)

[@OvertheHedge06]

Jedi: Survivor feels like a game that's made by people who truly love Star Wars and wants to put their stamp on the galaxy far, far away and make a great game while doing it Force Unleashed II feels forced and uninspired that's pretty much made to milk an already finished story

[@dalehayden425]

Star Wars Jedi Survivor is 1 trillion fun but the force unleashed 2 is trash at least in comparison to each other.

[@brandonrooney5106]

The fact that TFU2 had less refined combat than the first one is so baffling

[@maroonstarsface]

I don't think anyone's arguing the survivor is worse than force unleashed 2. That said, kal never pulled a star destroyer out of orbit with force powers alone. Star killers top dog and it's a shame dark side starkiller clones diddnt show up in the fallen order games, could have made them like the dehaka in prince of Persia 2, can't fight him just have to rapid parkour away

[@rcbmmines4579]

Yeah I have a lot of nostalgia for TFU 2, but Survivor is easily miles better. Survivor > TFU 1 > Fallen Order > TFU 2.
