This game really cemented Cal as one of my favorite SW characters. His progression has been so cool to see. Can't wait for Jedi 3 to see his conclusion.

jedi surrvivor had the inpossible task of following up to jedi fallen order and it lived up to expectations

Cameron's performance is genuinly the most underrated gaming performance

EA did not force Respawn to release. It was revealed that Stig Asmussen, the game's director, denied any further delays, even though EA was open to it. Some could call his decision controversial, especially since what followed was his departure from Respawn, though we can't say he left because of this.

I don't think that's what the sound is? You could be right, since it's really just an educated guess, but I'm like 99% sure that that's just the literal sound of the force. Since across almost all forms of Star Wars media, a cracking or humming sound is commonly placed in the background whenever a user is displaying their capabilities. Though I think the cracking sound is much more noticeable with Sith or Dark Side users

It's really awesome to see Jedi Survivor get the love and attention it deserves. I loved the hell out of this game myself, even considering it an improvement from Fallen Order in terms of gameplay. Which is saying a lot, as FO's gameplay itself is still amazing. It does suck, though, that the bugs and glitches were what stopped this game from being nominated for 2023 GOTY, because aside from that, everything in this game is pretty much fantastic head-to-toe.

You have a great understanding of storytelling. As a writer myself, there were some points made here I hadn't even considered logically although they were felt as I played- likely cause I've only played once and my mind usually doesn't go into analysis mode the first time if I'm actually enjoying it. Regardless, awesome video. Lots of details I caught for the first time in cutscenes that all add to Cal's arc. They killed it with this game and unfortunately EA killed it in a different way. This is shaping up to be one of the best Star Wars stories out. Just hope they stick the landing.

Even tho I only played fallen order this one was a banger to

35:13 I just realized the whole time you're playing as Cere you are playing what happened in Cals Force Echo. So Cal was seeing all of it

Seriously tho I love this game all the way back to the marketing how they showed the teaser when they did then popped back up in October of 2022 and gave us the release data and from then on just gave us gameplay after gameplay trailers. Also I really believe that this deserved the best gameplay award at the game awards but at least it was nominated.

Honestly the funniest thing about the terrible state that the game was launched in was that a little bit before the game was released, they announced that they were going to delay it by about 3 weeks to polish up the game. I'm guaranteed that they quite literally just sat on their ass and did nothing

@superjlk_9538

2 ай бұрын

Or imagine how much worse the game actually was before those 3 weeks? 😂

This was objectively an overall better game than Spider-Man 2.

I love the combat within the game. It’s really well made. The customization is probably the best in any game where you can’t create a new character.

The bald eagle streak is the best move to be invented. I really want us to be able to move objects and enemies freely.

Coming from someone who liked Fallen Order, but didn't love it (part of that was my meh feelings towards Cal in the first game), Survivor truly was fantastic for me, despite the performance issues.. and despite maybe none of the villains being quite as compelling as Merrin, though Bode would come closest, with Rayvis being an entertaining follow-up to the end. I do have a small wishlist for the third game: 1.) More cute Cal & Merrin moments. Those were very much the highlight of my Survivor playthrough at the time. 2.) The ability to hold at least 3 different stances at the same time. I wanted to switch between dual wield, double bladed, and blaster stance in the midst of battle so badly. 3.) Survivor set up the blueprint to have Nekkos you can save and also be able to reprogram battle droids to fight by your side. I want to take this a step further: let us keep battle droids as pets. I want a pet Droideka! 4.) Release it polished and complete this time (the biggest longshot of my list). 5.) Most important of all: Donuts.

I spent days trying to stop the oggdos just for my pc to crash and then I had to do it all over again.

Once fallen order gets its 3rd and likely final chapter, it will be the best trilogy of games since Halo.

The performance is better than according to everyone who played this game on launch (I just got the game few weeks ago). But it's still has technical imperfections that predecessor was plagued with. For example, sometimes Cal perform finishers on giant fauna enemies while they levitating about one foot above the ground (but it might be justified by the Force.? I dk, I'm not a SW nerd), and physics of certain clothes(most notable example, poncho during cutscenes). But despite of all of that, both Jedi games are damn great. And your video is also great, Colin. I would love, if for the plot of the third game, devs decided to go with the story of rebuilding of Rabel Alliance just like in the Force Unnleashed. And, maybe, Cal and Galen would unite, and we can chose to play both of them. Yeah, as you can see, I'm only like both Jedi games and first Force Unleashed from the whole star wars multi media.

46:48 That's right, man. Talk yo shit

Jedi Survivor is one of the few games I would consider almost perfect right alongside Resident Evil 7 as well as Dark Souls 3 and Batman Arkham Asylum. I can sit down and play these games over and over and still repeat all of the lines of dialogue and have the muscle memory to breeze through a lot of them. My relationship with these games are like when I was little and my dad could quote the entirety of all of the Star Wars movies. What a life to have lives :) The fps on launch was terrible and I played on PS5, I have recently revisited the PS5 version and it is amazing now though it should have been then and I have also played the PC version and while it has issues it was at least playable.

Just want to clarify the misinformation Ea is for once not the reason a games launch sucked. Now to be clear EA is in no way loves the consumor and while now these days they are more of the anti hero then the villian ea does actually have a history of ruining game launches However EA offered an indefinite delay tk jedi survivor because EA is hands off with respawn dirrector genuinley beleived the games bugs could be fixed in 6 weeks to launch. I bring this up because credit is given where credit is due. Plus criticism is given where its due.

I play this game on pc, and no matter which combination of setting I choose, there is stuttering in multiple areas, especially on Koboh. I really enjoyed Jedi Fallen Order, I was disappointed in Jedi Survivor (because of the performance issues and because I liked the story much less than JFO’s). If the next Jedi game has performance issues on pc, I will not buy it. In this type of game performance should be high on the development priority list in my opinion, because precision blocking, precision evades and the overall immersion in the game break, if thegame stutters regularly. Otherwise I enjoyed JS.
