A new update dropped just after I was finished with the video. Unfortunately, my recommendation still stands as the FPS is still really unstable despite the update 😞

[@ChrizHawk90]

It will never be fixed. 😂 look at Fallen order (the first game) which is still plagued with glitches and performance issues. Jedi: Survivor will NEVER be fixed.

[@justevil100]

There are far more than 2 optional boss encounters. Mosey gives you 5 that I can think of. 2 exta on Coruscant and more on other planets. Don't forget the hardest of them all. Rick the Door Technician.

[@MrHulthen]

Ah, I was specifically talking about unique boss encounters. Might be wrong on that tho

[@dizeestl]

seems like a perfect black friday sale game.

[@braddenison6034]

I’ll be too busy playing MGS master collection and awaiting FF16 Xbox release to care about it at that point! Lol.

[@Formoka]

I’m really hoping for a well designed, BioWare-esk rpg Star Wars game to come out. I never really got deep into Star Wars, but Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor have looked so damn cool that it really makes me want to get into the universe with a character of my own to play.

[@cleveranonym74]

Thorough and honest review. Great video as always! 🙃❤️

[@Jeff_Saba]

Great video. I really appreciate how you are diversifying your content and not just 24/7 mass effect ;)

[@frenchie_maple]

Amazing well-rounded review! I will follow your advice and wait a few weeks before playing it

[@hungbuiart]

amazing editting! :D always entertaining. i am waiting for patches to come out before i buy it xD

[@peizz]

Thanks for the honest review with the Hulthen touch 👍I was wondering about this game.

[@mahesh84]

will wait in next year sale by then bugs will be fixed and price will also be less and have all walkthroughs

[@dylanmonstrum1538]

Literally this, always. NEVER buy a new game!

[@NenMagem9106]

@@dylanmonstrum1538 Guilty, I preordered it... And I don't regret it.

[@godagarah-kf1vk]

lol like the wilheim scream great touch xD

[@AnnaAnanasova]

I agree, Cal is also my favourite since Disney took over. Game is looking great❤ Im gonna wait for sale tho for sure

[@Towerr72]

Wait until you run into Rick the Door Technician!!! You want an epic boss fight, thats it!

[@austinpearson1016]

I'm on ps5 and I still haven't had any graphical issues such as frame rate drops, the only issue I had was one broken save file but thats it

[@diegolopezpresa9719]

I could not buy it right now so this review makes me kinda happy that I'm forced to wait at least a month to buy it

[@brucenatelee]

Maybe it's because I'm used to playing on console, but I'm happy as long as frames don't go below 30fps. I want consoles to care about frames more in the future (should have last gen, let alone this gen), aiming for 60fps indefinitely, but 30 has never negatively affected me.

[@gladius1313]

I can't speak for PC or PS5, but it has been running smoothly on my XBox series X since release.

[@Arkuz8248]

Think I'll wait until it hits the clearance bin! 😂

[@mrbrainchild7637]

I'm enjoying it but it definitely looks rough resolution wise in comparison to Fallen Order.

[@megyskermike]

Guess it was only a matter of time before game prices went up

[@BigDanGaming]

I'm going to wait until it goes on sale for $5

[@ram64man]

after a couple of hours play walking around the map I can't help but say this feels gameplay wise very similar to uncharted 2 a good thing but the map is well uneventful, there should be more enemy's or weird bug/wamp rat or raider to attack, I still haven't seen any pirates so to speak , this is a missed opitunity , maybe i was thinking it would be more witcher 3 map

[@lambo2655]

I wish the game was $70 here north of the border it's more like $100+ just for the SE version.

[@asdasdaasdasda8992]

"Below, I'll tell you about a theory that completely changed my perspective. It might be the best theory I've ever heard in my life. In fact, it's more like a fact. Let me explain how Mass Effect 3 actually ended. As you may remember, Shepard encounters Harbinger while running towards the portal of Citadel on Earth towards the end of Mass Effect 3. Shepard is heavily injured by Harbinger. This is actually where the game ends. How so? Throughout the trilogy, we see many sources that indicate the Reapers can partially or completely control minds. Shepard sees that he/she is heavily injured and unconscious. When he/she wakes up, he/she sees that Harbinger has left. But why? Why did Harbinger leave Shepard alone? In fact, when Shepard passed out from his/her injuries, Harbinger took over his/her mind. From then on, everything Shepard sees is what Harbinger wants him/her to see. Shepard sees what will happen in his/her imagination. Now let me tell you other sources that support this. After Shepard is heavily injured, how can he/she teleport to the Citadel portal? How can he/she reunite with Anderson, who is not with him/her at that time? I don't know if you've noticed, but if you listen to the conversation between Anderson and Shepard before they meet in the Citadel, there are some things that don't make sense. When Shepard wakes up in the Citadel and moves forward, he/she goes through a "single-corridor environment". A single-corridor environment! Anderson describes the environment where he/she is located. The place Anderson describes is very similar to where Shepard went in the second game. Anderson says this during their conversation. Right after Shepard meets Anderson, Anderson is shot. And not a single drop of blood flows. Interestingly, I don't remember any scene in the first or second game where there is no blood. Then in the scene where Anderson dies, the game draws attention to the place where Shepard was injured. And it's the same place where Anderson was shot, and it's bleeding. In the final part of the game, you have to choose one of the endings. According to what I've told you, it doesn't really matter what you choose, but if you destroy the Reapers, you'll see one additional scene. In this scene, we see Shepard taking a breath. This is actually where we see the continuation of the scene where Harbinger heavily injures him/her. Shepard wakes up heavily injured, and the game ends."

[@JimmyThree-Balls]

Bro you freaked out in the stream about the indoctrination theory? A 10 year old theory that the devs have 100% said is not true, and you call it fact?

[@Hexenkind1]

Well I am gonna wait until it is patched. Do not want to reward unfinished games.

[@megyskermike]

Same, wish more people would follow suit, but unfortunately educated consumers seem to be a pretty small minority.

[@m.l4080]

@@megyskermike speaking of educated, didnt they just release a major patch today?

[@EliseFeure]

70e for the base game, nah brah

[@jakob8940]

I can agree with everything except the "my favourite star wars character" part

[@MrHulthen]

If it's any consolation, i specifically meant from the Disney era. Favorite SW character will always be OG Luke

[@jakob8940]

@@MrHulthen yea but even then. Disney has made some very good characters

[@justyce_yt]

Gaming is in a tough place isn't it... It can be great, but it won't be perfect, and that is what's focused on.

[@howiefelterup329]

Its not even close to "great".

[@413ben5]

Souls-like combat? Count me out, thanks

[@Gulmanzo69]

I already beat the game and i really enjoyed it, performance wasnt much of an issue since i was on ps5. In my opinion probably one of the best starwars stories since disney bought starwars. Also performance got significantly better on ps5 from the new patch, no excuse for needing a patch but it is what it is

[@exaltedreverse4463]

Performance is still shit on ps5. Even after the update the frame rate is garbage

[@neb-taui-djeser1060]

5:16 It's a lightsaber, how can it feel heavy? It's light, there is no mass

[@OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel]

I won't likely bother with this , because I don't like games that force you to play as a set character . That and first person view have stopped me from buying a ton of games .

[@diligencehumility6971]

EA: "We need to raise to price to $70 so we can improve quality" Also EA: *Releases games that is no where near done, lagging, stuttering mess, fps down in the 10s and 20s on performance mode, utterly broken game, but sold at over price*

[@derpfrob4226]

You nailed it all on the head. The game isn't bad...it just frustratling stumbles at the worst of times. Fighting looks good but feels not always good due to the performance issues. The story starts out pretty good, but definitly takes a tumble whenever you beat the first antagonist. So many glaring plotholes and moments of just lazy writing...truly a shame. Maybe they'll release dlc or an update that fixes most of said problems...but considering EA is at the helm and jedi survivor shows all the symptoms of sequelitis...we'll just have to see and wait. All I know and say is...Fallen order immediatly enticed me to play new journey +...survivor didn't...I was just glad that it was over.

[@ciphergamingsouthafrica8502]

no its not, its respawn after all. they are worse than ubisoft when it comes to pc ports

[@joshstreet6819]

MrHulthen I'd say you might want to see what the patch did for performance but from the patch notes it doesn't look like they did much for performance. It's a good thing I plain on getting it when there is a big sell around 50% - 75% off the game.

[@MrHulthen]

I tried the game after the patch but i'm still having issues with fps :(
