People complaining: “No diversity” Fallen Order: “First ginger protagonist ever”

Ea:"NOBODY CARES ABOUT SINGLE PLAYER GAMES " Respawn:"YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER "

Let's be real, we all say that the lightsaber doesn't matter, and then spend 4 hours creating the "perfect" Lightsaber

Running into that room full of security robots on Ilum almost gave me a heart attack. But when I managed to completely destroy them without dying I felt so fucking badass. This game does skill progression really well and it’s so rewarding

Cal: [Touches sniper rifle] Force Echo: *50,000 people used to live here... now it's a ghost town.*

Respawn: You would be wise to surrender. Microtransactions: Yeah...probably...

I have seen a lot of people complain about how the ending felt like a cop out, but for me, the story was never about the Holocron, it was about Cal’s journey as a person and becoming the best person he could be.

1 small detail that i really liked is when BD opens chests, Cal's dialogue changes depending on where you are. In the early planets Cal says "hey come back" or "where you going" while late game planets he will say "good job BD."

EA: "No one wants a single player Star Wars game." Respawn: *Make a single player Star Wars game everyone loves* EA: "You weren't supposed to do that!"

My favorite part of the game was when you had just beaten trilla and are feeling like an unstoppable Jedi master, then Vader immediately comes along and kicks your ass like you were just an ant

It's great how the story follows a failed padawan, a fallen jedi, a gambler, and later even included a traumatised nightsister. All with their great fears and past traumas. Imperfection at its highest.

The scene when Cal believes he failed but BD1 motivated him to upgrade his lightsaber is just heartwarming

The thing I like about Fallen Order the most is that, it respects the lore in terms of power level. The Inquisitors are strong, but only strong in terms of normal people, they are at least Padawan (or some, Jedi Knight) level. Cal is about in between, so it makes sense when, he was struggling with an Inquisitor. But the moment, Darth Vader shows up. You literally don't stand a chance, which is why i was glad AND surprised, that Vader didn't have a health bar nor an opportunity to fight him head on. It just says: *RUN*

One thing I really liked in this game is how Cal acted differently as we got further along in the story. He started out really unassuming, hesitant, lacking confidence, and was pretty nervous. But as the game progressed and he regained his skills and Force abilities he acted differently. He becomes more confident, brave, takes command of situations, and even seems to be having more fun in his life. It really felt like he was acting more like a Jedi. Jedi are leaders. They inspire people and believe in what they are doing. They are not arrogant but they are confident yet humble in their abilities to help people. That's what Cal become and I really did like way this was subtly portrayed in the cutscenes.

I actually really like Cal, I think his journey was well paced and was lightly emotional at times. Great cutscenes (especially scenes with his master) and when he got knighted I was celebrating for him as it felt well deserved.

Who's also rewatching because the sequel is on the way

Why was Jedi: Fallen Order so awesome? Simple: EA stepped back and let Respawn make...A *Game*

“New planets like dathomir” clone wars: am I a joke to you?

Cal moves with the exaggerated swagger of a ginger teen.

Finished yesterday, I still have chills when Cere shows you what an Holocron is and with the voice: This is master Obi Wan Kenobi. I really hope for a sequel

"THIS IS WHERE THE FUN BEGINS" -Anakin

The “sick beats” is a band called “the hu” they are a mongolian metal band, they are awsome

16:56 "The game never became unplayable for me, which is a typical of triple A releases nowadays" I wasn't expecting this level of accuracy. I know I'm late, but you got another sub.

When I first played this game, I didn’t realize I could get more stun packs and had to beat the game with the base amount.

I really like how many alien characters they've worked into the story.

I love the way how Cal remembers his skills through his memories training with his masters. Not only it is a nifty way to add new skills but it added weight to his relationship to his master. It also explains why his skills are very limited. Some gamers complained that Cal has very basic Force powers and no emphasis of light saber techniques. Well, what do you expect from a Padawan who have only learned basic Jedi skills before being hunted down by the Empire? Cal doesn't even know the existence of Vader.

I liked the plants man. There is a lot of background story you learn about Greeze by collecting them.

"Or training younglings. These sections are awesome!" >Proceeds to murder holo-younglings.

Me: oh a giant fat frog, should be easy enough Me after 26346282726282722729374560529 times: ogdo bogdo I’ve come to bargain

Cameron Monaghan was the PERFECT choice for Cal Kestis, I loved his work in Gotham as The Joker. Such a talented guy!

This game really surprised me. It just makes me want an open world Star Wars game more than ever.

This game shocked me how much I loved it. I was not into star wars at all until this game. One of the best ever.

Will it be good? "Possibly" - Jango Fett before the release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

Going back to Bagono after Kashyyyk. My powers have doubled since the last time we met Ogdo.

My brother is ginger and he feckin loved the fact he was finally represented as a main character and in Star Wars his favourite series. Juss sayin ;)

The dialog is awesome When I was in one of the temples in Zeffo and struggling with the puzzle, i have to run in circles and around stormtroopers a number of times And after the second time they went 'the Jedi is off again' which really cracked me up

I waited my whole life for a lead ginger character in star wars

“Master Kestis, there are too many of them! What are we going to do?” 25:29

"What I remember about the release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is, was how hyped I was. During the waning hours of Mediocre games, the game seemed interesting enough. It was an exciting moment. We all knew what was about to happen, what game we were about to play. Did we have any doubts? Any chances Ea might fail the license? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not when Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order had a pre-order, not when the game fully launched, and not when the game was being downloaded. Not a word."

Jedi: Fallen Order was indeed fantastic. One thing, you didn't mention how simultaneously terrifying and cool the final sequence was. Fleeing almost helplessly from Darth Vader as he rips the entire base apart with his absolute mastery of the Dark Side was insane.

My favorite part of the game was Vader being as powerful as he is in the movies. The tactical guide saying “escape is the only chance of survival” is icing on the cake

Fun fact: if you get the deluxe edition, you get a skin for BD-1 that is orange and green called “Vanguard” a reference to BT from Titanfall II

“These sections are awesome!” *Tries to slice up younglings*

so the story begins as: the main protagonist, Cale, just lost his father and he needs to flee. a few years later, he hides as a junk ship dismantler guy, with his bigger alien friend. but the baddies are looking for him, and they do find him, and he is on the run again, but fortunatelly (and conveniently) a group of friends help him escape with their space ship. you might think, "hey dude, you are wrong, he lost his master, not his father, and he is Cal, not Cale", and you would be right, except I was talking about Titan A.E.

How is there "not enough diversity?" Cal, Malicos and Vader are literally the only straight white males in the entire game, in fact, I didnt even really think about it until they complained about it💀

I swear when he said “this video is sponsored by..” I completed the sentence with RAID SHADOW LEGENDS the most immersive mobile RPG with over 10,000,000..

One issue here: Dathomir isn't a "new" area, it's appeared before, most notably in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV Show.

25:25 "Cal sees him self as dark jedi or training younglings, these sections are awesome" visual of Act Man executing order 66 in the background.

To see a AAA Like Respawn and EA title come out with actual quality of a game sounds bizarre and unheard of in this day age, so this brings me some kind of hope. All that they really need to get rid off are Goddamn Microtransactions

Act man: sees younglings Also act man: immediately tries to kill them

The Darth Vader boss (Well, when we ran like hell out of there) Was AMAZING!

Just finished the game after finally getting it last month and I gotta say........ Darth Vader scared the crap out of me.

The only bad thing really is that after you complete the story there isn't really anything good or fun to do.

EA: *Publishes a single player game with no microtransactions Also EA: "It's treason, then"

Man this games story is so good; it really just highlights how creatively bankrupt the people writing and directing the Disney movies are even more.

To be fair for the tutorial mechanics, the shipbreakers and shipwrights in the game need to be agile and capable of working in intense environments. Just look to our own world history back in the days of sailing, most of the shipwrights were originally Sailors and needed to be able to scale and clamber across masts in order to secure rigging or unfurl sails in intense conditions such as during stormy weather or in the middle of a broadside engagement with another similar ship or vessel. When the first skyscrapers and high-rises were being constructed in New York City, most of the construction workers at the time were former Sailors themselves and as such had the necessary experience in their line of work. A part of me wonders if before Corellia helped establish FTL through the invention of the Hyperdrive they were originally Sailors...

"There was a five man gang-bang here. One of them wasn't a fan."

Me: I'm so bored Act man: *uploads* Boredom: *mission failed, well get em next time*

I had to watch this again, just because not only do I love it so much but because soon Jedi Survivor is coming out and I know the acting male will make a review on that when the time comes.

When I first played this I made a beeline for Dathomir as soon as I could to get the double bladed lightsaber. It's very difficult to do early on. But it is so satisfying beating nightbrothers with the same kind of saber Maul used.

I don't think I ever nearly had a heart attack in a game until that final mission when you have to run from vader. Really showed how powerful he really was compared to the player we played as the whole game.

Respawn: Im not the messiah Everyone: HE IS THE MESSIAH

22:15 they did a really good job with this in survivor. All the wall climbs, ledges, etc feel so natural and at times they’re hidden so well I don’t know where to jump next

when i first started playing this the over the top video game feel is what made me love it, the wallruns, ice slides and rope swinging all combined.

I love the final boss with Vader. Respawn doesn't even bother to make him actually killable. They know someone like Cal is too weak for a guy who pretty much brought down the entire Jedi Order. I was really glad that about three hits in Vader just force choked Cal, and made him run away. It was even better when he just throws Cere away like nothing. No Jedi of that time could really step to Vader. They really respected the placement of power in the Star Wars universe.

Jedi: Fallen Order is the only EA game that needs dlc.

I agree with your thoughts. The story, the gameplay, the characters, the visuals, the music (thought the OST could have been more "rimbombant" in fights, I liked it, specially the main theme and the one from the Imperial Fortress in Nur), the tension of not knowing if you are going o survive an encounter (I played the game in the first minutes in Jedi Knight, then, once I got used to the base mechanics, I dared to increase the difficulty to Jedi Master) or if any of the members of the Mantis is going to die.....almost everything is loveable. I played in PC with a Nvidia GeForce 1050 TI GPU, with an Intel Core I5-7400 as the CPU, and I'm not sure if this was only my case, but I feel that the PC version isn't optimized as I would have wanted. I experienced various FPS drops when charging new level zones, or even just backtracking to zones I already explored (therefore they should be stored for quicker use later in the system), or even activating my lightsaber could provoke a temporary freeze. I found in some forums that I wasn't an isolated case (even people with "monster NASA PCs" had this type of problems), but, still, I don't know how many people have experienced this situations as my person or others. Leaving that technical complain aside, the only other complain I found with JFO, was that there wasn't as much human dismemberment as it should. Most creatures apart from human beings are very susceptible to it and it look.....well.......gory glory gorgeous to see how the blade makes it's way through the flesh (I'm not a masochist), but with humans, mostly of the slashes that should directly cut in half the flesh seem like superficial cuts. It was......a little disappointing for me, at least (I say "gory" because of the brutality and intense of such attacks, more than blood spilling everywhere, because lightsabers cauterize the wounds in contact due to their high temperature, therefore, there is little room for bloodshed). I'm looking forward with excitement for what they could do in the sequel, now that the ending was left with an "open door".

I love the metroid references. I grew up playing metroid so any game that utilizes backtracking, shortcuts, adventure and technical boss fights as well as pattern and puzzle solving it's an amazing game hands down.

I died to Oggdo Bogdo about 20 times. When I finally beat him I didn’t see the box with the poncho and missed out on one of the best cosmetics. I found it after beating the game. So sad

20:50 "It's never so obnoxious you get lost and never find your way back" Zeffo and Dathomir : "Well then your are lost"

Thanks Act Man! I really enjoyed playing this. At first I was like eh trailer doesn't say much but omg playing it was another ball all together. It was a lot of fun.

Actman Does such an amzing job with the effort in the videos he makes .

24:10 I love the way Cal is nearly stuttering showing how terrified he is of Vader and shows the talent of his actor

25:28 Actman: These sections are awesome! *shows Actman slaughtering younglings*

You are so good at making reviews! And keeping your audience engaged! You’re such a great writer!

Massive Star Wars fan, and I can’t tell you what I joy it was to play through this the first time. The music, characters, gameplay, story, everything was almost fucking perfect

I wish there was a Game where you could play as a Stormtrooper or some other imperial unit, where you NOT immediately betray the empire and change to the rebels. That would really switch up your POV for once imo

actman when he sees to many tunnel slides: "this tunnel slide is not a natural formation, someone built this"

I learned this on my second playthrough, but if you go back to second planet after going to Zeffo you can unlock the double bladed lightsaber early.

I gotta say, I love that they made the caste the way they are, they were a breath of fresh air for me

EA: "your single-player game will be your downfall" RESPAWN:" your faith in multilayer will be yours"

Nobody: Act Man at 25:29 : *tries to massacre the younglings*

The Force Unleashed title music in the background while finishing out the second segment is a great touch!

Jedi: Fallen Order (and what I’ve played of Jedi: Survivor so far) are absolutely fantastic examples of world building and skill progression.

The song that Cal is listening to at the beginning and the song that plays during the arena fight are by a Mongolian rock band called "The Hu." They're pretty good, you should check them out.

Respawn just makes everything it touches better.

It was SO FRIGGIN AWESOME to actually go on Dathomir! After watching almost all of the Clone Wars series just recently I loved it!

I really liked how different enemies have different weaknesses

ngl, Jedi Fallen Order was one of the biggest surprises to me this entire decade, expected trash thanks to the EA logo, but i was very happily surprised

I was expecting you to say something along the lines of “let’s build our lightsaber, retrieve the holocrons, and execute order 66 straight into this.”

Literally just got the platinum trophy for this on PS5, was such an awesome experience!

This video was the thing that actually made me buy the game and go back to my old love gaming after 10 years of brake....love every minute of gameplay ! Was a bit rusty, and it takes some time figure things out...but once you do it's so much fun 😊

holy shit he did it. He reviewed jedi fallen order. A suprise to be sure but, a welcome one.

8:29 "contains the list of four sensitive children" I laughed so hard after I realized it was "Force sensitive children."

Dude you’re damn right! I loved those clone wars tributes. Exploring the venator wreck is the best

I didn't watch any trailers or gameplays of this game until I finally played it on game pass, and duuude. When Cal pulled the lightsaber on the that first scene, the game got me

Star wars episode 9: ewww nooo Jedi fallen ordeer: mmmm oh yeah

1:33 Oh god. I just realized I have *RAID SHADOW LEGENDS* PTSD cause this scared me.

Watching this again. I love the Force Unleashed music in the background!
