I remember being so frustrated that my 4080 build couldn’t hold 60 fps. I had to patch in Frame Gen support and it still had awful performance. Ruined an otherwise great game
Fun detail: Cere didn't die in Cal's arms, he arrived a good bit later and the entire time we play as her is a force echo Cal is sensing after finding her body. You can tell from the flames vanishing instantly after Cere dies, as well as the distortion at the edges of the screen while Cal is holding her that goes away with the flames
@@legoverse1412 thats not how I saw it tbh. She clearly saw him and interacted with him. Besides Cal was never able to touch much less hold anyone or anything in a force echo
This isn’t a bad theory as Cere knew cal could sense echos so she left him the message and cal was holding Ceres body after her death which could have held the echo. But at the end Cal can hear Cere through the force so I’m sure he just was able to feel her passing.
I like to think that Bode and Dagan represent the extremes of what Cal could become. Bode represents giving up the fight running from the empire, and Dagan represents the obsessive desire of Cal to fight the Empire at all costs. Cal is the perfect middle ground, using Tanalorr for the hidden oath represents fughting the empire in a way that allows him to live a life with his loved ones.
I feel like the late reviews of games are better because by then all the hype has died down and you can look at the game more critically and not be influenced by the high you’re riding of a first time playthrough.
@@GameOverloadMOhonestly I wish i didn't get it at launch and I got it leaked after I pre ordered still loved the combat but the story just did nothing because I knew going in what was happening
I’d disagree, a story game can only be judged truly by the first time you play and experience the twists and turns, along with learning the new combat and finding all the new customization items. Going through and doing it for a second time isn’t the same at all and of course it’s not going to be as good because the excitement and the freshness isn’t there anymore.
16:35 when Bode gives cal the advice to pursue merrin i actually didn't think there was anything weird about it because the game let's you know multiple times that Bode is a father, which one can only become through a romantic relationship (usually). So I figured he was just alluding to how his relationship led to his daughter whom he very obviously cares for so it was all worth it. Thus, he was paying it forward saying that those relationships are always worth it
@@ThaleasQaelhe was trying to push cal to the want to keep tanalorr a secret. If cal like bode had something he truly loved he wouldn’t turn the planet into a Jedi temple
Cal’s actor, Cameron Monaghan, is absolutely phenomenal I think it’s 100% deserved that he plays one of the most beloved Star Wars characters of the current era
I absolutely fell in love with Fallen Order when I first played it in 2019 because I was growing up at the time, I was a senior in high school and I was fighting some demons and was uncertain about my future. Cere's quote was my saving grace: "We will always struggle, but that is the test. It's the choice to keep fighting that makes us who we are.” That game saved me. When Survivor came out last year the story didn't really resonate with me at the time. But just a few weeks ago I built my first gaming PC and replayed this game. Performance issues aside this game really resonated with me this time around. I literally sobbed at the end where Cal is reflecting over Cere's grave. It's been a hard year for me, trying my hardest to make it as an adult and feeling like I'm not good enough, fighting my own dark side and being on the verge of destruction, and just barely keeping it at bay. Some days its all I can do just to complete basic daily tasks. Cal's progression in this game simply paralleled my own in something so poetic and personal that it struck a deep chord with me. The Hero's Journey story is what Star Wars has always been about since 1977, it makes everything so relatable and reachable. I play these games because of the story. These games have changed my life. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Great Ted talk! It’s been the same for me except I’ve been an adult for a little longer and yeah buddy it’s hard and it’s always difficult not to be selfish and make the best decisions. In the end it’s always better to let go of hate and and anger towards the things we can’t control and just focus on the things we can and the people and relationships that will help you reach your full potential. Star Wars literally saves lives and I’m here for it.
Yeah i agree man. I also got it on my ps4 during my senior year when it came out. It was so simple back then. Seeing the additions the sequel made to the story makes it so much better. The focus on family and trying to find a place to live in peace is always classic story telling. Then seeing Cal delve into the darkness came out of nowhere. The fact that they let the players use the rage mode at their discretion is a great story telling and gameplay implement. Take the easy route and you'll be through rooms of enmies in no time. But those were all people under that armor. And Cal was losing control. I can't wait to see where this story goes. So far Cal Kestis is one of my favorite star wars characters ever
Appreciate the comment but it’s crazy to me that a video game characters quote was your saving grace when Jesus literally died for us all. I get your comment but man Jesus saves, gives hope.. not cere.
@@martindominguez1518 This is why people hate Christians so much. I in fact am a believer in Jesus but a YT comment section is not the place to preach that. People can learn truth and life lessons from many other places, not just Jesus. Keep your narcissism to yourself.
The scene with Bode’s home at the ISB headquarters is so tense, and I love it. You know that Bode hasn’t begun fighting because 1) he knows Cal has a lot of questions and 2) because Kata is there. If Kata wasn’t there, Bode’d have ignored the first reason and started throwing force hands.
Bode's betrayal still stings. I started the game going "Oh, this guy is definitely gonna betray me", but then I loved his character so much I forgot all about my misgivings. Then he killed Cordova 😢
@Cryspycrazy I've just got the game on my PS5 (got it on xbox) and I'm just about to go to Tanalorr, but I was so reluctant to enter the cutscene where he betrays me because I fell back in love with him watching the cutscenes again. Goddamn Noshir Dalal and his amazing acting.
Bode's betrayal truly shocked me. You could tell he never wanted to do it, but he had to, and his death was really sad for me and another character I really liked was Rayvis he was a honorable warrior and on grandmaster it took me like 10 tries to win him and Vader were easily the hardest story boss fights I liked Rayvis because the end of his story was good the best characters in the game are Rayvis Bode and well obviously Darth Vader himself
Jedi Survivor has become my favorite to enjoy Star Wars. Fantastic story, great combat, strong exploration, and to top it all off Panchos. All jokes aside the customizable aspects of the game ate up most of my play time.
I did like Survivor. But to be honest I like the first game more. I think my problem with the sequel is there's not a lot going on until the final third of the game. After the intro the game just kinda mellows out and isn't very gripping until close to the end. I definitely like the new mechanics and gameplay more, and I did like Survivors story whenever it decides to pick up. But it's just not enough for me to prefer it over the first game. Also I gotta say the planets and exploration felt dull to me in comparison. I think because the two primary locations throughout the whole game are only Khobo and Jeda. Both of which are mostly brown and kinda samey. Both with eachother and within their own environments. I like them but there wasn't near enough variety in environment for me. Which made me not care too much for exploring, which I did plenty of. I dunno. I think having a tighter story with a little more going on and a few more different environments would definitely benefit the game a lot. I'd give it a solid high 7 or low 8 out of 10. I like it, but wish it did a little more. Also I wish the game wasn't totally broken and had a playable framerate without crashes and freezes the whole time😂. I'm not sure how patched up it is by now, but oh boy it was not fun when I played it at launch
Huge props to respawn for fixing some of the minor annoyances from fallen order. Introducing fast travel, giving the option to remove fall damage, and replacing the “slow” ability were very welcome changes
Imo this game is a 10/10. The risks an the darkness the developers took to make Cal even more depth i love it and the main cast and side characters make these 2 games beautiful cx i truly cant wait for thr 3rd finale and hope they do everyone Justice
I got this for my birthday on June 7th. My friend bought it before me and we couldn’t stop talking about it; when I finally got to play it I was SO hyped, and it superseded my expectations, the graphics, story, characters ect, I love this game with all my heart and it will be a very memorable experience for many years
I don't think it was contrived that the arrays allowed the mantis crew to make it to tanalor. They had to make the compass some how and also stated in game before the big twist that Dagan was the first to navigate the void so it's implied that the arrays allowed him to do such
Exactly. The compass is more along the lines of just a key that gives you the proper coordinates and exact flight path… but to make it in the first place, you have to navigate blind. This likely meant trial and error with aiming the Arrays even
PS5 user here. Performance was never an issue for me. I love this game and loved it since day 1. Modern gaming hates the PC, talking about AAA games here, like Elden Ring and ReRemake 4 having issues that PS5 didn’t have half as much. Jedi Survivor improved the open world exploration and the LIGHTSABER MOVESETS ARE THE BEST IN THIS GAME!
While the issues weren't exactly game breaking like they were on PC at launch it still wasn't great on PS5 or Series X at launch. Frame rates on performance mode regularly dropped into the 40fps mark and even sometimes less. In quality mode it would even drop into the 20s. Now all that seems to be ironed out in the latest patch and it's mostly stable even though they removed a bunch of RT goodies in quality mode. Also keep in mind that the game isn't actually running 4k. Performance renders at around 1080p and upsamples to 1440p and Quality renders at about 1152 and upsamples to 4k. All cutscenes run at 30fps. With that said, it was at least playable to the point of being able to enjoy it at launch on console. So there's that
@@BrevskiIt's mostly a 60fps experience on console now, but it was really bad for months after launch. Should be playable now on console. But before the big patches we are talking framerates in the 30s in the 60fps mode in several main areas. And freezing. And crashing
Star Wars Jedi Survivor is still a mess on the ps5 as well. There's T-posing characters when traveling to different planets, the hyper space animation doesn't always work, the inside of the cantina on Koboh doesn't always load in properly which allowed me to fall through the map, in the tombs when turning the camera there's flashing white boxes around the edge of the screen because the environment didn't load in time, amongst other issues.
Have you found a droid named T1N8? T1N8's little story broke me. I started looking around that mining shack where I found her and started connecting the dots. When I finally found her in that shack's basement, I noticed a grave "made by someone who had a rudimentary knowledge of what graves looked like." Well, that was T1N8. She dug a grave for her master with her own hands and tried to decorate it. She doesn't say she did it and talks about her masters in a sad tone. Ufffff. When I talked to her again next to her masters' home, that brief conversation finally destroyed me. What a nice, emotional land mine.
Can we honestly get more vocal appreciation for the scores of Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor? They’re so John Williams-esque, but still distinct. The ambient music, the sad music, the bombastic music, it’s all really good. I find myself coming back to these games’ soundtracks a lot.
Rick the Door Technician is my favorite boss fight… because you have this very cocky scout trooper who, despite his boss health bar, has normal amounts of HP, and you can just wipe your ass with his defeat so easily. My favorite way to kill him is to lift him up into the air, then slam him down, then up again, then slam him down, then up, and then down again. 3 of each, and he dies. You disrespect him so hard
It was a real mind trip to replay the start of the game once you know the betrayal. Bode immediately presents himself as the perfect person for Cal to trust and befriend... and from the force echos later you can tell that it is so calculated. Even if Bode had things he liked and respected about Cal, first and foremost Cal was his target. It was some real CIA behavioral manipulation. Very cold.
As much as the twist with Bode surprised me and caught me off guard, which I loved, I do slightly like the story of Fallen Order more than Survivor. It was just so standalone and original.
I remember thinking that Bode would betray Cal when he was introduced, then they bonded and i thought, oh that a good guy, it was always an up and down with him, at the end i was convinced hes good and i aas absolutely gutted when he finally did betray cal
Same. That scene where he projects a holo of Kata gave me instant "motivation-for-betrayal" vibes. And then I just eliminated the possibility, until I heard him mention he was going to "record a bedtime story for Kata" and I thought "that's weird, why would he mention exactly where he's going" And then I saw him pull the blaster on Cordova and was in absolute disbelief
I love games like this. It´s just a long eventful ride with good story, characters and gameplay with no bullshit. Also I love that this game SLAPS at some moments. When Cal and Merrin where jumping through portal around that drilling thing, I was just screaming in excitement.
@@yatsey007 For sure, the sounds of the drill really sold it as this terrifying menace. That sequence is what changed my mind from thinking the game was mediocre to loving it.
29:12 (Edit) Dank ferrik. Jacobcenter beat me to it. I believe she doesn't die in Cal's arms. I think that Cal finally woke up, returned to the Archives and found Cere's body. As he touches her, his Psychometry activates and he sees all of the Cere playable parts and then her death at Vader's hands. Sure she looks right at Cal but that could be because of precognition as she's joining the Force and sees Cal holding her corpse. Now for why I think this? As she "falls" into Cal's arms, the borders of the screen turn blurry like a vision. That and the fact as Cal finally cries, everything "turns" dark around him. We're returning to his present and nothing's left except for a little light and falling ash from Cere's fight.
"Cal Kestus is one of the best [characters] Disney have created" Which, honestly, says more about the quality of writing for the Disney Star Wars characters than it does for the quality of Cal Kestus' writing.
I liked fallen order but I LOVED survivor. Respawn stepped up with both gameplay and story. I cannot wait for the next one and I’m gonna have to replay this one
The only thing I wish this game did differently was keep cal on the dark side. By the end of the game he goes through so much pain and suffering just to have him brought back from his hate by Merrin. They could have kept him going into a possible 3rd game with anger giving us even more gameplay options by having cal be able to use both sides of the force. The story could even be cals trust in the force as he struggles with his new emotion wanting him to explore both sides of the force while pushing away his friends and people who care about him. Could have even kept bode alive so he can be the main villain going into the next game or have him be a sorta prisoner who cal goes to for advice on the dark side and obviously setting up a redeem ark for bode
I think Bode was just too far gone Man lost the Order, lost his wife. I could understand falling that far to protect the ones you love Also it’s arc* An ark is a giant boat or ship lol
I've only just played and finished the story mode, and I'm glad I waited. Was getting 90+ FPS, on ultra settings. I loved this game, and actually shed a tear at the funeral scene. My only complaint was it's still a bit buggy, had a couple of crashes during cut scenes, and some weird cloth mechanics with some of the characters, but otherwise one of the best games I have ever played. Can't wait for the final chapter to come out
Odd quirk of this game on release was that the three players in my friendship group who had average computers (my best mate only just met the minimum) had a pretty enjoyable experience on release. The two with massively overkill systems (bloody accountants - go figure) had nothing but problems even getting the game to run. Really weird.
People were initially very confused at how Cere very nearly killed Vader. “He’s Vader, nobody is as strong as him!”… except it happens quite often in the comics. Cere technically only reached the level of Jedi Knight, however her skills in the force and lightsaber combat matched that of a master during her time as a Survivor. The video does go on to explain that she let go of her fear, and this is true and it does further explain her increased levels in power. She is delved into the Light Side, giving her a large advantage against Vader. Yes, Vader is actually nearly killed. He barely hobbles away from the fight, and it is canon in this event that he was going to lose if not for his quick thinking very last second. He only won because Cere did a very dumb move in leaping at him instead of being caution. She honestly could have killed him if she didn’t get reckless and hasty towards the end. However, that would end up screwing with the entirety of the Star Wars timeline from that point on XD
I feel like this game got completely overshadowed by 2023 in a whole. The first game came out in a sweet spot where mandalorian had first started airing and it felt like the dawn of a new Star Wars era. I saw many people comparing Fallen Order to Jedi Survivor and saying that Fallen Order was better which I thought was insane. Jedi Survivor patches out almost all the issues I had with fallen order(back tracking on the maps mostly) And adds so many new flavors to the game. It’s a magnum opus of Star Wars games to be frank, great boss fights, an emotional story, several combat styles that are all viable and will keep you entertained the whole way through. It was a contender for my GOTY list last year and I’ve been craving a play through on master mode since
Loved the video! Also how I stumbled across this video with no knowledge of your second channel, Ozzy, this was one hell of a great video! I replayed Jedi Survivor too and noticed so much regarding Bode, like you explained in the video, and it just makes it so much better. This might be one of the best games I've played!
This game actually feels brilliant, I really loved it. It ran fine without Raytracing. + Story has very unforeseeable twists + New stance system is great + Love the new customization
I agree. This game has a great story. Super fun to play. The light saber combat flows very nicely…. It’s a definite step up from the first one. It’s like once you play this and then go to battlefront you realize how much better the lightsaber combat is….. my only concern for the third game is that the Director left to start his own company and that worries me because after all of this buildup, waiting in anticipation, if they put the wrong person in charge, you could really mess it up and that would be seriously disappointing
I returned to the game and last week finally platinumed it. Then I returned to Fallen order and this week platinumed that. Fantastic games. Couple things that stand out after replaying Fallen Order. The second game is better in almost every way. And 2nd I really appreciate that they take Cal's growth from the first game into account and NOT make you relearn those traversal and some combat/force skills. In that way, the whole 2nd game just feels like the story and characters are moving forward and treading new ground. This sort of game design is so rare. As much as I want a third game, I hope it's game design progression is the same as moving from game 1 to 2. But...if we don't get a that I am very happy to have experienced the 2 we have now. Pretty sure I'll be replaying these games.
I’ve played through this game at least 10 times, probably more. Both on PC and XBOX. Performance is still not where it should be, and probably never will.
I realized about Bode in that final conversation before the empire attacked. It was a surprisingly good twist that I realized it just before it occured.
Finally just took the time this week to finish this game and although there’s still bugs and performance issues the world, characters, combat, story, just everything in those aspects are so well done. Seriously some of the best Star Wars content that I’ve witnessed in years.
Man… what a game. This video got me all back in my feels for this game. Such incredible characters, I’m so glad I was blessed to be able to play this game. Thank you for this reminder. Great video
I hope the third installment features more legacy planets. I know there is an argument to be made with old planets being overused in new stories for nostalgia baiting, but I think respawn could create a really beautiful world that’s fun to explore if they used a setting like Bespin, Cato Nemoidia, or Lothal. Edit: assuming it makes sense for Cal to visit in the context of the adventure that he’s on.
Idc game should’ve got nominated for game of the year. Never experienced any issues on the ps5 and the game itself had improved immensely with customization, intricate gameplay, and the map. It was on par or even better than Spider-Man2
For some reason, I cannot place my finger on it at all. But Fallen Order just had way more re-play value. And I literally don’t know why. I played Fallen Order through about every 6 months and about 7 times total, loving it every time. But I have only managed just a single extra play through of Survivor which felt like it had lost its magic already and I’m not sure I can do another play. Yes the story of Fallen Order is overall better. Survivor tries to do a bit too much perhaps, and is a little less focused. But the gameplay is even better, the platform and movement more dynamic, the combat greatly expanded, but the sandbox stays totally faithful to Fallen Order. The maps are way bigger, slightly better graphics, and more detailed. There is more collectibles and interactive things in general. A small detail but I did think a side quest like finding 5 plants to for a spaceship terrarium felt way more Star Wars, than the rooftop garden which felt way more Arcady and took me out of the Zeitgesit. But that nitpicking. Why does Survivor not totally capture the same way? Maybe something about the character progression in Fallen Order grabbed the imagination a bit more as you are re-becoming a very rare Jedi and feel like a small time hero even as you dispatch small droves of Empire. That still doesn’t feel like a satisfying explanation but I can’t place what it is exactly. Anyone else feel this way? I did prefer the planet selection in Fallen Order. Kashyyyk, Dathomir, and Fortress Inquisitorious all felt familiar to the universe, and the other two had their own Star Wars-y charm, Zeffo for its ancient mystery/ buried secrets vibe, and Bogano was just so peaceful and quaint, a small but exploratory level with minimal intense combat. The flashbacks with your Master REALLY felt like Star Wars, and emphasized the feeling of becoming a Jedi knight. Survivor has much bigger environments but they often lack that Star Wars charm. Koboh is trying to be an everything planet so lacks a singular character but if anything feels more akin to a very earthly Wild West/ gold rush with prospectors kind of vibes, just not totally Star Wars in feel, and Jeddha, the most familiar planet, just lacks something, and is basically a big dessert. Tanalorr is by far the coolest planet but is tiny with no exploring. The whole game feels very orange, and I hope for the 3rd game, they will really give us familiar, Star Wars, and diverse color palette planets. Think of the following Utupau, Endor, Mustarar, Hoth, Cloud City, Naboo, Alderaan (before it gets clapped) the third game should hopefully feel exceedingly Star Wars-y and ignite some of that child good wonder with its planet selection. And maybe it’s just me but I would rather have a little bit smaller, but 7-8 planets as opposed to essentially 3 massive ones.
I absolutely loved this game when it came out. The story was gripping, the combat was fun, and the exploration was rewarding. I consider it the best single player game I played in 2023. Awesome video by the way! Came up in my recommended and definitely will be checking out more of your stuff!
I have no idea how anyone was shocked by bodes betrayal. It was hinted at from the beginning lol the moment he started speaking in the first mission on coruscant I litterally said “I don’t trust him he’s probably a spy”
I had minor issues with Jedi Survivor on my PS5, and thoroughly enjoyed the game. I Platinumed the game out on all the Trophies, and on one playthrough on the Grandmaster difficulty, I put in 192 hours on this game. With the issues others had especially on XBox Series X and PC, I knew at that point that Tears Of The Kingdom would get Game of the Year. But in my humble opinion Jedi Survivor should've gotten Game of the Year by a longshot. I think it will be a while before we will have a year in gaming like we had in 2023, and seeing what Bob Iger and "Darthleen" Kennedy have done with the Star Wars gaming license... the last entry in this trilogy is all we have left at great Star Wars game. They literally killed off (except the Knights of The Old Republic remake) any chance we have at getting any great Star Wars video games. My one issue with the game is that there was a hint of "the Force is female" in the game's ending. A Disney Star Wars story without a potential strong female lead was something Darthleen Kennedy was not going to tolerate. and was to be expected.
Loved this game. My first playthrough was genuinely one of the funnest times I’ve had playing a story game. It was just a complete blast. I was overly hyped for this game and it didn’t disappoint me
you get more than enough skill points to fully unlock all skill trees in 1 playthrough. ofc, if you're not exploring everything, you won't do that, or unlock all the additional stims or perks
Not only did I platinum this game, I 100% explored and collected and every single thing possible in the game that there is to do, I did. I’m not sure if there’s many people who did that but I loved it so much that I spent 120 hours doing it. Probably my favorite game along with fallen order that I’ve ever played. Loved the video.
I just got Jedi survivor now that it's on Xbox One, and I can whole heartfelt say that its the game I've had the most fun playing since the original dallen order in 2019.
I just finished my second run through. Loved it much more second time around. Not to say I didnt enjoy the first run but I took my time for a much more thorough journey.
I can appreciate that the final boss isn’t the strongest boss you encounter in the game, like Vader on the first entry. Yet it’s still worthy of being a final boss because of the raw emotion.
If this game, or the next one, had/has online capabilities and/or DCL content, I just legit wouldn’t stop playing. I LOVED both the Jedi games, but I just wish there was some option for coop play
I loved this game and nearly everything about it. With the first Jedi game, Respawn proved they could make a good Star Wars game, but with Survivor, they proved they truly UNDERSTAND the very core essence of Star Wars far better than any of the hacks at LucasFilm, even down to the soundtrack of the game just FEELS like Star Wars. The themes and conflicts explored in the game are very Star Wars. Respawn truly knocked it out of the park. I saw Bode's betrayal coming just from the commercials, but then forgot about it. The game does such a good job of making him a likeable character and his chemistry with Cal is legit. I think Respawn made it intentionally slightly obvious to see his betrayal coming so that they could blindside us with the Jedi Survivor twist on top of it. Truly a masterful execution of a plot twist. And sort of a side note that's a bit random, I love the tiny detail of Cal checking with Merrin before double tapping Bode. Cal HAD to take that first shot when Bode's blaster shorted out, but was unsure of the second shot. He hesitated, glanced at Merrin for confirmation. She pulled him back from the brink of no return to the Dark Side earlier, he needed to check himself here, and Merrin was his guide. She didn't stop him, and only then did Cal understand that intentionally shooting an unarmed, defeated foe and killing him, was NOT the draw of the dark side. Bode was too far gone and would have continued to be a problem. There was nothing else they could do. But it's that little detail of Cal looking to Merrin for support before doing what was needed. It's a really nice touch and displays how much the two trust and rely on each other. Their budding relationship was my favorite part of the game.
I must say, your video gave me a new perspective. The story is one, if not the best, story in years for Star Wars. Crazy that Disney gets credit for this gem, though. Also, wtf is that background music. It's amazing, and set the video. Seriously, it kept me focused on the video and your points.
This game got better cause they fixed it. It no longer stutters, the load times are minimal, and the game feels smooth. I played on release. This game was great, but it was literally broke. Missions didn’t work, the bounty one specifically, the game stuttered and crashed, and the load times were longer than PS3 games. I’m on a PS5. I’m playing it again right now. None of these issues exist anymore. The game is so smooth and beautiful. I’m thoroughly enjoying my replay
Yea this game hits hard. This series is really all that Disney Star Wars has going for it. The Jedi games are really some of the best things to ever come out of Star Wars
“Aggressive crack heads that wanna throw down like there’s no tomorrow” lol 😂 I like to use dual because rapid fire attacks and if you need you can cancel attacks with block
The reviews weren't bad because of the story. The reviews were bad because the game was a horrible buggy unoptimized mess for some people. In fact most reviewers I watch, loved the game but couldn't recommend it because it was a mess. I just played for the first time and I had to give up on side content and rush the main story because my game was crashing constantly. And I have a 4090, 13900k and 64GB of ram. So a year later and for some people the game is still a mess. I didn't have frame rate issues like people had on release. I had constant crashes.
@@namechanged1 1 year later, I shouldn't have to turn graphical features off to keep the game from constantly crashing. I probably dialed the settings down but I don't think I turned ray tracing off and as I said, I shouldn't have to turn things off for the game to run. Great game ruined by poor optimization. I still had fun but the backlash over the optimization cost them a lot of money.
One thing I actually really liked about this game was that I was suspicious of Bode from the beginning. But they got me to let my guard down and trust him. Which I think makes his betrayal easier to connect with Cal about.
I'm 41 minutes through your video and I can't wait to tell how much I love it! I also love with passion the flawed but splendid story of Jedi Survivor and its marvelous cast. Cere's death was so heart-breaking that it caught me in a stomach-churning sadness. And she happens to be one of my favourite characters in the game, and her fight with Vader is purely astonishing, so much so I'd rank it as my favourite fight, which goes in a long way to show how great the combat system of this franchise could be if not for a large chunk of poorly implemented enemies and AI.
Reading the comments, I'm surprised at how many were shocked by Bode's betrayal. It was totally obvious to me from the moment he appeared that he was would betray me in the late game. I don't know why exactly, but something about his performance just telegraphed it, to me. Still a good game. Maps were a little confusing though
One thing I see a lot in discussions is that Cordova came back for no reason and then died for no reason. In reality, he always seemed to be the smartest guy in the room, and *notably* the only one who could get the compass working again. Bode knew that he had to kill Cordova to prevent him from making more compasses and following him. One *other* thing I see some people complain about is why Bode didn't want the hidden path on Tanalorr, much less trained to fight the empire on it, since Tanalorr seemed completely safe. We see pretty early on that it's not as safe as it seems, and that it's been invaded before, and Bode knows that it'll happen again if they put that much of a target on themselves. It's weird how many people forget that.
fire vid bro i really like ur vids they are high quality especially for a channel just starting out i seriously thought this was a channel thatd been up for years already best of luck and god bless
I’d love for the third instalment to take place quite a long time after survivor where we play as a jedi master Cal who is much more powerful than before. The reason this would be cool would be that we could have a more force unleashed style game where you can absolutely massacre the basic enemies, but there could also be significant challenges in the form of adversaries who are more powerful than anyone Cal has faced before. (Also more dismemberment pleeeeease)
