Jedi: Survivor - One Year Later

[@dancingvalkyrie]

Honestly Cal Kestis is probably the best jedi character we've gotten from recent years. Unlike Rey or even Ahsoka, Cal actually tries to resolve problems without insulting or antagonizing his opponents, just like how a jedi should. He's pretty much the closest thing we got to legends Luke Skywalker, except with that extra dark side ambiguity.

[@xxcaptninjaxx4301]

honestly I like cal and cere eno cordova more than Ezra Ahsoka kanan but many jedi I like from EU or movies

[@javierlopez9789]

Except that should be luke not a random ass character

[@Jidom_101]

What? Even obi wan antagonized his opponents lmao

[@danquaza9275]

It’s cool that they chose to make him feel more stoic and proper, compared to every other “modern Starwars” Jedi. Which makes sense, while he was only a child during order 66, he was raised and trained by the Order, the only other comparison we have is Ashoka. And her whole story is that she walked away from the order on her own accord and chose to walk a different path. Cal was forced and we get to see that part of him being a large portion of his character while still having his own quirks. Getting the blaster stance was a great example of that. He was against using a blaster becuase that’s what he was taught, he only finally chose to take it out of necessity but you can feel that it leaves a bad taste in his mouth. Personally he’s one of my favorite Starwars characters we have had. I hope to see him in live action some day

[@JayjayYang]

Cere was tapping dark side as well, but she became much stronger when she got rid of dark side. I think Cal will set on a path similar as well. I just want to know how much stronger he’ll be and what new stances will be available

[@shhh5743]

I also had a perfect launch with this game on p5. I was so surprised seeing everyone say how buggy and laggy it was😭

[@joshuarollerson7132]

The game got more buggy after I started a ng+. But in my first play through on series x, I did experience a few game breaking bugs. But aside from that, it was good.

[@Kovalov112]

I really hope that Jedi 3 is gonna be more smooth for all platforms, it’s a shame how Jedi survivor was at launch…. Still an excellent game in my opinion, I should replay it again

[@Rhyciz]

It was my favorite game of 2023. Definitely the best written out of what I played (which was basically everything) and it took what Fallen Order did and made it even better while reusing minimal assets which it to be commended.

[@DirtyDan77-]

Me too, it’s so damn good but really unfortunate with the technical problems,

[@realnoble676]

From what I remember most of the problems were on pc, as well as with the performance mode. Played so much survivor at launch on series x on fidelity and had very minimal to no issues.

[@logangodofcandy]

Best written? These stories are very stupid and lame, and you people come in with shit like that. Fuck, your mind must be blown every time you read Dr seuss

[@lstsoul4376]

​@@realnoble676finished the game now, while definitely playable still has a lot of perfomance issues

[@Star4wars1]

I think the one problem I have with survivor was no central villain, I remember the trailers hyping the utopian guy and he's just in the first mission and it goes from dagen, alittle of vader in the middle then bode, trilla in fallen order was an ever present antagonist in the game from her introduction in the first misson other then that survivor is good.

[@haydenrhead7692]

Dagan def could of been a much more interesting character, that felt sidelined during some of the story

[@JayjayYang]

That is due to the plot is focusing on betrayal. Bode has been tagging along all the time and caused two Jedi masters’ death. It’s similar to Oppenheimer where they only reveal the villain at the very end.

[@MAJIMAXKIRYU69]

Dagen is exactly that though? Sure he wasn’t used a lot but it always felt like he was one step ahead of us and when we finally get him and think it will all be good the betrayal comes and we have that excellent moment where in our heads we think back to everything suspicious he has done and piece it together. I also believe what you’re referring to is a build up. These villains are almost like milestones for your progress. We get these interruptions from dagen so the story doesn’t move too fast and then Vader obviously had to show up again because he was always pretty active and the sith do want that planetary utopia

[@dexxfa7274]

Fr I was really hoping we would kinda get someone like Vader show up more or the inquisitors and maybe even have cals memory ability allow him to see Vaders pov in something allowing us to play as Vader shortly and seeing a memory

[@JLEsquire]

I wholeheartedly agree the Jedi Survivor is a fantastic game Falling Order was great but survivor was even better in my opinion The customization, making the saloon your own, The bounty Hunter side quest, The additional stances, and the High Republic inclusion are all hallmark elements that make Survivor even better than Falling Order, and that's a high bar

[@Dyl-275]

Need a sort of weapon wheel to be able to use all stances. It sucks using dual and double, and then all cutscenes single yet I can't actually use it. Doesn't make sense

[@scubasteve1555]

@@Dyl-275 What do you mean can’t actually use it? Single? You can use all the stances, just pick them at a meditation point.

[@Dyl-275]

@scubasteve1555 no like say I have double blade and dual blade equipped, I can't pull out a single blade without going to a meditation point, yet it's literally possible for cal to do so. And all the cutscenes are single stance only which is also annoying

[@djman5667]

SO happy to see someone mention the cinematography of the cutscenes. That stuff isn't talked about enough with video games.

[@XanderVJ]

Partly because it's discouraged by the gaming intelligentsia. Cutscene are largely seen as a lesser aspect of a video game that should be avoided as much as possible.

Well-thought out video and review. The game will always be S-tier for me based on the fun I had with Cal’s blaster stance - merging Form II Makashi dueling with a blaster on the offhand was so damn cool and it fit so well with Cal’s history and character, solidifying Cal as a character that genuinely grew on me.

Honestly love the game. But so salty we didn't get any content after the game other than NG+. I've played it twice and not touched it since. An arena game mode would have gone a long way.

The one thing left that they haven’t brought over from Fallen Order is the Battle Grid. Once they added it, it was all I did after I beat the game. I don’t want to have to constantly replay the game in order to fight the same bosses

[@colinlittleford9700]

Aside from potential dlc, the only things I would like this game to have are to toggle the vents of the hilts and finish fixing the screen tearing. The first game has no screen tearing, so there's no reason why survivor should.

I also had a great launch with this game. I did use quality mode though which kept the framerate stable but it was still great. I loved that they fixed pretty much all the gripes I had with Fallen Order. Cal has to be one of my favorite Jedi too, such a great character. Honestly I am not a fan of current Star Wars under Disney but Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor remain bright spots for me in Star Wars.

[@catnipnapkin3329]

I waited until March this year to get it (on Steam), and apart from a bit of occasional stuttering when moving between areas on Koboh, I have not seen any performance issues, or major bugs. It was a near perfect experience and after 5 playthroughs, it's become one of my all time favourite games. I do kind of wish starting an NG+ playthrough would also reset sidequests. There's not much to do apart from the story when you 100% your first time through.

[@jonq8714]

I literally just replayed it the story, and for the first time ever I replayed it all the way through again because I didn't want to stop playing it. Great game with some performance flaws that have mostly been addressed. I really like this game.

[@Gamersunite2506]

I read somewhere that the devs have recently started working on the game again as of just over 2 weeks ago. They were speculating that it may end up just being a content update to include the battle grid like in Fallen Order, but at least there might be some chance at some further performance improvements.

[@june_o9]

Would love to see more performance improvements as I'm still hesitant to buy it since many say there are still issues on that field.

[@garoozies914]

I was thinking where the story could go in the next game, and assuming Cal and Merrin still plan to use tanalorr for the hidden path, there are so many good opportunities. Lots of missions where cal gets distress calls and needs to escort force sensitives through dangerous planets to get them to tanalorr, all while running his own Jedi temple back at the HUB. I imagine there will be a time skip, and Cal will be a full-on Jedi master, and there could even be segments where you play as his apprentice Kata. And, if there were ever going to be a chance for an Obi Wan cameo, it would be in the third game.

[@jarmoliebrand2005]

I got the game near the tail end of December, when I purchased a PS5. It was my first game for it. I’ve only had one issue during my first playthrough. A big one though. I got stuck in Bode’s apartment (right before you get the dark side abilities) and couldn’t progress the story. That really sucked. Apart from that though, really fun combat and good exploration. I’m surprised at much many big and little things there are to explore. As for the combat, I really, really enjoy that. So much variety with the stances and all, which are all viable (my ranking is: 5: Single. 4: Dual. 3: Crossguard. 2: Double. 1: Blaster.) There were nice, new force powers. And good enemy variety. The bosses were challenging for me on Jedi master difficulty. I got all of them first try but mostly without any stims left. The side bosses of the Rancor and Spawn of Oggdo were tougher. Especially the Rancors, as I got a cheap strategy for Oggdo. The customisation was also a massive step up. Customising Cal has gone from being stale to being fun (I dynamically changed his hair and beard through the course of the story, whilst also making him don different clothing on different planets). But the workbench customisation is great. Customising the lightsaber was great in FO, but in Survivor, it became way better. The biggest (relatively small) feature they added was the fast travel. If that wasn’t there, I would have zero motivation to explore the planets outside of the story. The story was really good overall. I don’t know if I prefer it over the first one though. This one felt like it had some moments where the pace was a little too slow for my liking. But the payoff was amazing. I like most of the characters, though I think Dagan is a bit too one dimensional. Bode may have eventually become the prevalent villain with the biggest impact, but Dagan is still the big bad for like 70% of the story. And I feel like he’s quite undercooked. Bode was great though. You can understand his viewpoint, though you don’t agree with his methods and hate him for his betrayal. Cal and Merrin is probably my favourite Star Wars romance. They have good chemistry, but more importantly, they are just so understanding and communicative. They can ask the other for help, advice and assurance and they’d know it will be provided.

they should make story mode a real jedi experience where your lightsaber actually does what a lightsaber does.

[@Jorge-lm4bg]

I played this on Series S, and only had one minor bug during my second play through where the audio was out of sync.

[@JayMatthews]

Playing this on the Series X (its now on gamepass) really enjoying it. Map is still a bit shit but overall a decent game. Seems the performance side of things have been sorted because the majority of the time (so far, I haven't finished it) is a locked 60fps in performance mode.

[@cantsleep29]

Most of the major monsters can be dealt with in a clever way, letting them fight each other or using the force to interact with the environment instead of fighting them head on. This is how a good Jedi should act. It reminds me of Obi-Wan in the movies.

[@matthewa441]

I absolutely loved this game. The story was better in Fallen Order but the gameplay in this one was significantly better. The world's were more open, bigger, more things in it were interesting. I played through the story 3 times in a row, that's how much I enjoyed it.

[@e36boy]

I'm playing it right now. Bought it on Steam sale. I am enjoying it so far and no technical issues at the moment as of April 2024. Using a laptop with rtx 3080, 1440p epic graphics at more than 60fps. Ray tracing is off. If I use ray tracing i only get 40fps and it is not worth it.

I'm currently updating Survivor on PC and curious to know how it runs on Koboh specifically? I've had to take a long break because the galactic map in the ship drops down to 1 fps lot of the time and the travel aspect seems to lag as well making that segment quiet and akward lol. Also the rendering issues when landing on Koboh or Jedha are problematic and immersive breaking and I would love to to jump back in because it is one of the best SW experience I've had but the performance issues pushes me away from enjoying this breathtaking story every single time.

[@sub-jec-tiv]

I wish Larian would do a Star Wars RPG.

[@mRibbons]

I've put about 70 hours into the game over the last month on an upper midrange PC @1440p. Specs: 7600x, 32gb ddr5 6000mhz, 7800 XT, on a gen 4 m.2 ssd. Ultra settings, MSAA overiding the TAA . RT is turned on w/ no upscaling enabled,. Average 55 fps, 35fps 1% lows. It easily runs @ 60-55fps most of the time. Stuttering is semi frequent, but easily ignored imo. I could do 1440p 60fps locked with RT off or by using FSR, but I don't like upscaling and RT looks really good in the game. Otherwise, it's very stable and I'm having a blast.

[@Davidcross0121]

Was hesitant to play game but just completed it and I liked it a lot. The story wasn't always interesting but it had a lot of other things to keep me interested. Took 66 hours. It was just nice to play a game as we don't get much nowadays that I'm interested in.

[@orion5748]

I love the combat it's amazing my biggest problem is the lackluster story and how it clashes with the movies(sort of) and how the power scaling is weird and how theres no main villain really and my other problem is the open world it is too big and I honestly prefer more linear games mostly bc open world is never done right RD2 is the only game to do it right. Survivors world is bloated with missions no one cares about and boring gameplay of just running to find plants and uninteresting areas all around

[@Palindrome3945]

Same. I'm at the end and can't wait to finish it. I'm usually a completionist to some degree, but I can't stand getting out of my way to get cosmetics and money to trade for cosmetics anymore. I'm sick and can't wait to be done with this game.

[@anthonygarcia8749]

[@windsweptmtn]

I really enjoyed Survivor, but struggled with how the main plot line came out. Most of the game is spent looking for Tanalorr, which Cal only finds out about because he was trying to fix the gyro on the Mantis. It’s a coincidence that he came across Zee, and as invested as I am in Cal, I had a hard time not looking past that element of the story.

[@adamborgia3880]

Pretty smooth play for me, no real bugs I remembered. Got ticked plenty of times with what I always felt were some cheap unblockable attacks… but mostly from the endgame boss (no spoilers). Seriously, what a piece of crud those fights were, which is a shame because I appreciated the narrative. One thing I also liked was the subtle animations, especially when switching between stances. My only gripe was that every “change” between stances made sense in-game, except for the cross-guard, which when switched to, cheated behind the switching animation and magically changed the appearance of the lightsaber components. In other words, the design of the cross-guard hilt was fundamentally different from the other hilts that it never flowed as well when swapping. He’d pop out the cross-guard and “ta-da” now it looks totally different, whereas every other combo you could see all the components on your custom hilt staying congruent back and forth. So in that sense, the cross-guard just never felt as canonical as the others, even the gun stance. Very minor gripe, but one I still noticed 😅 Excited for the third entry though!

My biggest complaints are I hated only being able to switch between 2 stances at a time & it also really needed the ability to be able to go from one stance into another mid-combo.

Something else that's kind of dumb to leave out is the ability to save multiple load-outs of personalized gear. The villains, besides Vader, were pretty underwhelming too.

Look I'm just gonna come right out and say it. I grew up with the gamecube/xbox/ps2 star wars games including og battlefront 2, and I tend to really dislike most post-disney star wars content. So I was extremely surprised to see this game claim the title of my favorite star wars game. Doubly so because I thought fallen order was pretty decent, but not the greatest. This game just does everything right in my opinion. It improves upon its predecessor in every possible way (besides the removal of ship customization for some reason, but the added cal and bd-1 customization more than make up for it imo). And the story, not just for a video game, but for modern star wars content as a whole is my favorite star wars story since clone wars (I know season 7 was technically released as disney star wars, but they had storyboarded most if not all of it before disney canceled them so it doesn't count). Leaving behind the empire and galactic civil war in order to explore something fresh and new was honestly amazing to see.

[@Adam.C]

Even though I have a PC with a 4080 I decided to play it safe and finally got this game on PS5 because I'd heard the PC version was probably never gonna get fixed. Didn't expect the PS5 version to be so buggy. I counted no less than 20 bugs, T-posing characters in cutscenes and bosses getting stuck in the walls. A huge disappointment compared to the first game. I loved the story but it's difficult to take it seriously when it doesn't feel finished. I hope they do better next time.

I had a great Launch for this game.. Don't get me wrong, It plays so much better now and there were a Few little kinks with some of the areas of Koboh, Since it was the biggest planet. I Waited for my Preorder down to the last second.. Knew coming home from work @ 11pm the night before that it was almost time to play it and I did without any sleep for a day or so.. Been a while since I was that excited for a game to drop, what a time! Fallen Order was special but It wasn't this level of Excitement building up to that release, was more 'Oh is that Ian from Shameless as a Jedi? Iunno about this story' haha. I felt the same way about Cal leading into Fallen Order. He is a Badass Jedi now and a top character for me. Survivor did something to his story and Opening up w/ the Inquisitor fight on Coruscant was proof shit was about to go down. Back to Survivor's Release and my Build. Was very prepared with my Hardware for this release though.. I built a new PC maybe a month before it dropped.. I knew it was next gen and I didn't want my old build to Hinder my experience. Updated from a Biostar Mobo to a Msi b550 board, A Ryzen 5 2600 to a Ryzen 7 5800x, Nvidia 3050 to 3070 and then To a 6750xt because the Value/power ratio is insane and AMD is slept on man. New H5 Elite case w/ 2 NZXT 140s Intaking up front, GPU 120 Fan @ The bottom and 3 Deepcool matte black 120s for my Exhaust, Both attached to the Nzxt Kracken AIO and rear of the case! Also faster Ram. From Gskill 3200, 16gb to Corsair Dominator 3600's, 32gb. Power Supply was already a Fully Mod 850w, 80 plus gold Be quiet PSU, So I was future prooof'd af! lol. Was the best Idea to prepare because I love this game and the experience when it dropped.

Bought the game recently and finished the story last week. Amazing game, the gameplay is a huge upgrade from the first and from purely a gameplay perspective this game is way better than fallen order However, the story is what I feel wasn’t that great about this game compared to the first as well as the villains not being nearly as good as the first game. Fallen order was a 10/10 game for me. Jedi survivor was a 9/10

[@Debit1]

I wanted to get back into the game but I crash every 30 minutes on my new pc. If only the game was stable to play 😭

[@geraintthatcher3076]

Good review. Yeah Dagan was the weakest part of the game. The guy was a bit 1 Dimensional. Also bringing Cordova back felt a bit like gilding the lilly. But otherwise ots a great game. Stig won't be around for the 3rd game so whoever they get as Director I hope can deliver

[@CptJamesForce]

Great video! Fully agree and I had a PC launch that had stuttering on Coruscant then when I got to Koboh was perfectly fine, so that didn't bother me, like 2 to 3 hours of suboptimal gameplay, that was then great. I can't wait for Jedi 3, it's going to be (hopefully) absolutely incredible!

[@TheSecondTaj]

Eh… I really liked how faster the double blade lightsaber was in the first game. Other than that, I got no issues.

[@Ezio_Banks-k1p]

Why dont they make DLC for this game?

[@pedra4597]

Dude, I'm wondering what the hell is this, the algorithm just sent me to a comments tab full of sensible people who share the same opinion as me

[@thanatosor]

Played this on 4060M smoothly

[@Mr.PeamealBacon]

Getting stuck on Rayvis on Jedi Knight strength ruined this for me.... 10 hours of dying sucks.

[@theandroids]

I think It would have been cool if more than one Jedi from the Old Republic era was awoken, and in the end you a Dagan have to fight together against the other Jedi's gone to the dark side. Dagan vs Darth Vader would have been cool. I dont no, I loved it but just feel the story could have been more amazing.

[@KamLeGen]

It’s got dropped on game pass and I finally tried it. It works soooo badly on Xbox X! Frame drops, glitches, textures uploading, blurry images. So annoying!

[@dejboi]

i had to suffer thru this shit on 40 fps in the good spots and 12 in the bad. there was only one place in the entire game where i got above 100 fps

[@cambo438]

still ass on pc. tried to launch and it still downloads shaders and the opening logos still lag like crazy.

[@Crafty-One]

i7,32ram,4070ti super using DLSS quality@4K + Frame Gen = 60-90 FPS (worst to best)

[@HotPocketEnjoyer]

I put nearly 70 hours in and dropped it conpleteley i was on ps5 and had the bounty hunter bug the garden bug and the collectible bugs too it was so annoying not to mention the 20 fps town

[@rishav_566]

screen tear? did you face any of it? like in koboh?

[@HotPocketEnjoyer]

@rishav_566 all the time actually

[@Oberheiko]

I played this game just for the story. I had to play it with 12-20 fps, due to my 1050 with is (to be fair) way to old for this game. The bottleneck was my i7 though. The story was cool, the combat was really bad because of bugs with make the game unplayable, maybe because the framerate was to low. I didnt get the dicision why they want to display so many particles at once and i didnt get it why clyou cant disable them, they have no reason at all. The puzzle with the paticles for example run at 3fps on my "machine". Maybe i will play this game properly with my ps5, when its for sale

[@24321619]

Star wars fallen order was about the most confusing and frustrating game I ever ever played, like most players I spent more time looking up things on KZbin than I did playing the game.

[@AncientRepublic]

This game need dlc especial story about str destroyer above koboh😮

[@BROWNMIST44]

I’ve come to really appreciate this game as time’s gone on, especially the combat and exploration. The crossguard stance was fucking awesome to use, and really reminded me of the heavy stance back in the elite Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy games. The planets all feel very alien and unique, and the music helps a lot with that too. The story is where it gets a bit mixed for me. On the one hand it was awesome to see Cal take on what I consider to be a more realistic view of the force by not sacrificing his love for Merrin and occasionally tapping into the dark side to survive. On the other hand I think Bode’s betrayal is really stupid and his motivation is totally illogical. The idea that his daughter would only be safe on Tanalorr if Cal didn’t use it as a base for the rebels just doesn’t make sense. Even if the empire somehow found a way to cross through the abyss they still have an entire planet to hide on. The dude also left his daughter alone in an imperial base so I’m kind of confused as to how that’s safer than hiding her on an almost empty planet lol.

[@ricopitulation]

Not trying to excuse the writing, but Bode’s betrayal and spiral into the dark side isn’t supposed to be logical. It mirrors Anakin’s fall - Bode has a selfish attachment to his daughter and is trying to protect her to an obsessive degree, hence claiming Tanalorr from himself. You can’t blame him from being paranoid that Tanalor could be infiltrated either.. he’s a spy himself after all. And no the imperial base wasn’t safer for his daughter, which was the whole point of going to tanalor in the first place

[@BROWNMIST44]

@@ricopitulation I can see what you’re saying. But I think the fact that Cal never calls him out or questions his reasoning shows that we’re kind of just meant to buy it. I mean they could’ve even had a line where Cal mentions that Bode’s too far gone into the dark side to see reason. The fact they never address either of those things makes me think the writers just wanted us to accept his motivation and reasoning without actually thinking about it.

[@KidoOtten]

I think its a great game with one big problem: far too little worlds/maps. Like 70% of the game is in the home world, Koboh

[@JMAN-pg4tg]

My only real gripe with survivor was the story. It was decent, but the high republic stuff was goofy and uncompelling

[@PrOtaku123]

Unplayable on PC still, I had to geto

[@daneanthony6342]

i first played it last week since they just put it on gamepass and i am having a great time

[@BredBillO]

This is a really solid video. Consider me subbed. Have you ever thought about doing more for the larger Star Wars franchise outside of gaming? Feel like you would be good at it. Keep up the good work!

[@SammyBoiiiSW]

Hey thanks man I really appreciate that! I actually did do a bit of general Star Wars stuff a few years back when the gaming side of things died down, but I didn't enjoy it quite as much, gaming is definitely where my passion lies when it comes to the content side of things, which is weird considering how much of a Star Wars fan I am hahah

[@MDC216]

A year already? Jeez
