I haven’t played it yet but I’m so relieved that there isn’t some dumb excuse to have Cal have to relearn all his skills

[@sarawilliams2900]

I agree 💯💯💯💯

[@Garrett8489]

i agree,but its going to make making a third one hard if they keep doing it!

[@ugoeze7360]

[@darkharder6190]

Highly recommend to save up 10 pririte shards and buy the secret door in Dina’s shop before anything else because it gives you another heal stim

[@tylermathews1953]

Amen to that 🙏🕊️

[@chadchadchaification]

The fall to death mechanic is Cal falling X distance, not hitting a death floor like most game. Not the biggest fan of that choice but with the scale of the game it helps out with puzzles not being skipped as easily.

[@DustinLittlefield]

If you want a cool little attack glitch. When you get the dual sabers get the first skill in the dual saber skill tree( attack and jump back) once you had to have that hold LB or L1 press Y/triangle then once you throw the saber while holding LB/L1 press X you’ll throw your saber jump ahead and attack (it still thinks both sabers are in your hand) and then sorta ran backwards great for attacking and making distance!

[@TheDragonstare]

Also incase anyone didn't notice while playing, if you run into a stem chest where you get a stem upgrade if you already used your stems it doesn't just give you one but will refill all your stems so not only do you get an extra stem it will refill them so no need to rest at a meditation spot if you don't want to

[@ricekrispy3933]

There is need for the meditation points. Don't use them and your game crashes and I lose hours of gameplay

[@michaelbass5951]

This is the only video so far that has actually explained everything that I was frustrated/confused with while playing the game haha. Thank you!

[@kasper_429]

7:20 You can turn off fall damage in the settings to prevent this. You'll still die from really high distances or from falling off a ledge into the abyss, but it helps a lot.

[@nostalgiadroplets8222]

My issue with it is if I'm purposely trying to traverse up and I fall off the side and have to restart because I don't die thank you but no thank you 🤧

[@stevorules1820]

​@@nostalgiadroplets8222 you'd have to restart on death anyways. Sure you might fall in an area that might require you to go around but its quick

[@realfake6669]

Falling from really large distances? You just die if you fall 4-5 meters 🤣 Even if there was a floor in the next centimeter below you, that's really annoying

[@Munnymike127]

You still respawn when falling from high distances. I believe it’s just so you don’t lose your XP.

[@ziyaguz6936]

Looking forward to playing this tonight after work

[@mattmcnicholas2452]

I found both the directional and audio assists leading to the next objective pretty cool and helpful however the audio pinging can get a bit annoying

[@silvercirclestudios8895]

Great work! thank's for your reflection with personal insights.

[@Alluvian567]

Appreciate the video, the crossguard is my least favorite stance in the game. Works decent for some slow bosses for me, but generally not my playstyle, which is odd because I normally prefer slow and strong attacks. I think it is because of how often this game mixes up melee and ranged large groups that was giving me the most trouble with it.

[@juliusha275]

the tiny things ma fand,thanks a lot rot that and even this shortcut,nothing more to say and even this message takes more place n time at All but finally,u did it! helped me pretty much:)

[@JustaLamborghiniCountachWhoCom]

Very early on you can receive a perk from a vendor that greatly increases your xp gained, perfect for early to mid game.

[@ericcarlton87]

I held off purchasing until the 18th and luckily the newest patch released the 20th so for the most part it’s playable and I’m enjoying it.

I’ve just got a Gigabyte GeForce 1660ti and Ryzen 5 3600x and 16 gb ram and on medium I’m having no issues with the game. Hope things get smoothed out for others !

Same here! I started out on Epic settings, with no issues so far. Still trying to decide between "Quality" and "Balanced" for my final graphics settings, but will work on it as I go. Loving the game so far with no issues!

At 5:00 you were saying that you get it early in shattered moon, but I'm not sure because I went for shattered moon aswell but I think you can get it at the other planet once you fight the guy for the item

[@donnerwolf1135]

you only get the crossguard on the shattered moon. You need to finish the story quest there and then you have it

[@goddardstark00001]

dont spend too much skill point on resetting the skills, once you unlocked all the stances then choose wisely what stance you want to use. also i recommend investing on the confusion skill tree rather getting jedi concentration coz u still can get ur force increase by exploring with that weird glowing thing. i got lot of tips but i already forgot most of them xD also dont worry if u cant get into a one area its better to explore the map and it highlights everything then come back again... Annnddddd i know this is too much time consuming there are some areas hidden but not really so keep ur eyes peeled! x

[@Its-a-trap13]

I’m getting it today i cant wait!

[@Logan-ef8hq]

Geez. Those lightsaber sounds are brutal

[@eduardoarmenta9232]

I like that every lightsaber color has a different sound

[@tyreescott196]

People sleep on the double sided lightsaber. It goes crazy lol

[@kevinclapson]

Im just hoping they do something about the framerate drops. Running it in performance mode and even in the first 6 hours there are far too many sections where the frames drop noticeably.

[@flavaj13]

On my Series X, it performs much better in the graphics mode than performance.

[@kevinclapson]

@Jason Soler likewise. But while that at least makes it playable, you shouldn't have to lock to the game to 30fps on a seriesX to achieve such.

[@ChameleonDance]

I cranked that look sensitivity straight to max 😂

[@Animusapertus]

Never realized you had to attack/strike the green glowing plants to get the seeds lol. I was wondering why i wasnt picking them up or finding them😂

[@Leonardo-cw1dd]

i dont have the cross guard saber yet. i dont think id use it a lot as it’s slow. i prefer being swifter in my attack

[@sheabaker707]

This game is on gamepass now so I finally get to experience more Star Wars

[@evanyoung837]

if you’re playing on controller, I highly recommend binding parry to left trigger. Feels much more natural and is much easier to hit in a panic

[@justinhopkins7703]

I did the same thing. Left trigger was block and right trigger was attack. Square felt awkward to me

[@valravnsshadow9422]

Triggers take longer to pull and register clicks than bumper buttons.

[@lr6497]

I think one thing I’ve realized and have been a bit upset with is that the crossguard is very weak and not worth using in grandmaster, the dual wield has just been the best in ever situation for me

[@Kilo_23]

The devs said its used as an aggressive style of combat sacrificing gaurdiant and parrys for out right damage and staggers

[@rwiii5115]

[@webster9169]

Personally the default sensitivity felt too slow for me, i bumped mine up to 6 and it feels very good, only problem i have with the game is as people say, the performance issues are pretty bad, not Anthem bad, but i have high hopes that we'll get one or two big patches to fix it. You can only do so much tinkering when the game isnt released, but now that it is, they basically have the entire world as test players to see what needs to be fixed. Just need to hope they pull through Also, i dont see how the map is confusing to people. its a 3D map.... just look at it.....

[@erikknudsenmork4536]

It's unplayable on my end. Constant freezing, fps drops, stuttering. Can't even get to greese because it keeps freezing every cutscene.

Its not bad on PS5 at all, especially not after that 1.0.2 patch that PS got first

[@Reverendshot777]

​@@gvzi It plays pretty well across the board. Frame dips on performance mode but currently doesn't seem to be going below 40 outside of cutscenes. It's such a good game.

Preciate it. It’s a dope game.

[@marios.2975]

[@ainako1010]

What's everyone's stances. Right now I like Dual Wield & Crossguard (maybe more so for aesthetic rather than effectiveness lol)

[@borisleoro8943]

Dual Wield and double wide

[@eredkaiser]

I had to put dual wield away since the animation canceling made it too easy. I ended up running twinblade and stance 4/5 for the whole game.

[@12345raheem]

What outfit do y’all have on, when getting the crossguard?

[@av3sta480]

I’m just now playing the game, but I’m totally going for his mid-part long hair/clean shaven with a black/dark blue combo of Exile/Duelist or jedi. Plus orange lightsaber (crossguard stance) in the style of Ulic Qel-Droma.

[@_schlumps6350]

How do you get the skin in 4:48 is it a mod and we’re can I get it ?

[@cab927]

Was really hoping for curved hilt stance but I understand why they didn't add it.

[@e.l.4860]

One thing i find funny with the crossguard stance is that he struggles to wield it as if it's heavy. It's a light saber, how can it be heavy?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lars2894]

Did they fix the PC performance issues yet?

[@Mouro893]

This game is growing as Rpg but I think still misses dialogue roleplay from Kotor, a Revan outfit with his hood, mask (maybe robotic voice), jedi robes with hoods, more customization in light sabers like a curved lightsaber
