It’s always devastating to see an otherwise perfectly fine game be plagued with technical issues

@Patrick39 pipe down pinhead
Fellow gamers, we stand on the brink of a revolution. A revolution against the corporate greed and corruption that has infected the gaming industry for far too long. We must take a stand and demand change.
The time has come for us to rise up and say "enough is enough." We cannot continue to let game developers and publishers take advantage of us with overpriced DLC, microtransactions, and loot boxes. We must take back our gaming experience and demand that games be created with our enjoyment and satisfaction in mind, not just to make a quick profit.
But this revolution is not just about the gaming industry. It's about standing up against the larger systems of oppression and inequality that plague our society. We must fight for a world where everyone has access to quality games, regardless of their financial situation or social status.
Together, we can create a new gaming landscape, one where creativity and passion are the driving forces behind game development, not just profits. So let us band together, gamers of all kinds, and demand a better future for our industry and for ourselves. Let us start a revolution that will change the gaming world forever.
And if any corporate death squads ask, i'm a handicapped small child.
I haven’t had any issues, maybe its because im on xbox and not on pc which i’ve heard doesn’t run well

Arkham Knight, Elden Ring, Callisto Protocol, Jedi Survivor, and other horrible PC launch day ports. I'm really getting tired of this.
Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see?
The fact that the lead developer declined extra production time is crazy
It's shameful because when asked "why the delay" he said it was exactly the amount of time they needed to polish everything. What we actually have has got to be one of the worst technical fail launches in PC history.
@@Mk_Otaid Fallout 76 literally exists so in PC history no but i agree it was very bad, I didn't have many day one issues but I had a friend that couldn't play the game at all until recently.
@@newmoneymadeit I played and followed the reception around both games' launches. Fallout 76 was nowhere near as bad as this one was, in terms of performance.
Had a ton of visual bugs and lame-ass actual content for sure though. JS for the vast majority was not playable even after the Day 1 patch. For a huge percentage it's not up to par yet as of writing this.
No excuses can be made for a game that still is all over the place on current-gen hardware.
@@Mk_Otaid the reason i used 76 as an example was because of the endless visual glitches I had to sit through on day one and also because on launch more than one nuke would almost always crash the server.
I played through all of the Coruscant section and got to the Saloon (on medium settings) and all I experienced was some very minor frame loss kinda like the frame loss you get on Fallen Order if you're playing on a PS4 or Xbox One.
I was very lucky I got to play day one and enjoy myself but you're absolutely right, 60fps across all platforms should be the very minimum for a Triple A title that costs £60 ($70).

@@luca_lwls Exactly, spawn of Oggdo is nothing in comparison to Rick The Door Technician.
The only worthy opponent for Soldier of God Rick.

I went on a mini Rick the Door Technician rabbit hole from this comment to find out what you guys were talking about
It is quite heartbreaking how a game that could have been a 90% because it innovated in everything it's predecessor did ended being a 70% because of performance issues.
For PC yeah that's unfortunate but on ps5 I've only had a couple of stutters in high detail areas and some texture pop. Aside from that it runs great.
Imo, I think they should have looked over the performance issues because let's be honest, they'll eventually be fixed. It isn't fair that I the future some dude might watch this for a review, and the major complaint is something that doesn't exist anymore

SPOILERS AHEAD. DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT PLAYED:
Regarding the ending, I think Charlie has it wrong. Both of their viewpoints aligned until Cal wanted to bring the Path with them. Cal wanted to use Tanolor as a base of operations for an army to fight the Empire while Bode wanted an escape for good. Training an army invites conflict which breached Bode’s plan of basically exile for his daughter. I don’t think it’s dumb to have that point. Could it be stronger? Maybe. Am I fine with it tho? Yes. There’s enough reason for that
exactly. charlie reads chat during the cutscenes most of the time so he misses these.
Am I the only person who thought Bode’s motivation for what he did made perfect sense and that it was a really good plot twist? If the Hidden Path got access to the secret planet, it would be inevitable that the Empire would at least make efforts to track them down eventually which is Bode’s greatest fear.
Kind of made sense.The game didn't really have a true villain.The real enemies were fear of loss and anger
Especially after the final fight, I feel like Bode clearly lost himself and went almost, if not entirely, mad and clearly wasn't thinking rationally anymore.
Exactly lmfao. The main issue is that the game could have done a much better job at actually showcasing bodes reasoning, if him or cal just brought it up in one of there arguments, it could have been perfectly explained, but because they don't, you kinda have to actually think about it and realize on your own.
As someone who wants to be a dad I felt kinda bad for bode
Yeah I thought it made sense too. The only thing that felt out of character and dumb was some of his dialogue during the final fight like the evil laugh he does, but that’s very minor and overall his motives were reasonable
Game is hella fun honestly. The cameras were improved a bit from the first game, love how the lightsabber feel like your actually hitting something.
I’m gonna do the same thing I always do. Wait for a good patch and a price drop lol because I actually am excited to play it. I just want that… primo experience…. At a slight discount haha
@@Olsenator I feel like that's what the publishers are counting on--so long as they fix it eventually, people will buy it. A disappointing trend, to say the least.
@@Olsenator this game is honestly amazing
@@NahNoWayy they make money on the people who are willing to play any “early access” game while also making money on people who wait for the game to be “finished”. It’s shitty but it’s going to continue until people stop pre ordering games and just stop supporting these shitty business practices in general
fun part is when it is eventually fixed, it will probably be on sale too
I actually love the attention to detail as cal progresses through the game (each major story development) and the background of the skill tree changes primarily in the final act
Cool. I didn't notice
Without getting into spoilers, my favorite parts so far have been the finale of the second mission on jedha and the second boss fight with the main bad guy. The main bad guy is possibly one of the coolest force users I’ve seen in a video game tbh
Yeah because your 11 and don’t have any expectations in a good villain

@@passionate4645spoilers for anyone reading
Dude if you seriously think that vader is a bad villain then you are either brain dead,just trolling or trying to think differently just for the sake of being different. I can't think of any other character that has had a better character arc than Anakin/Vader you can say your opinion about stuff but vader being a Great villain is a Fact.
Man, I wish you didn't just go brain off at the end and actually payed attention. Everything for the betrayal was explained clearly and made sense, it was foreshadowed well, and even had an interesting sub-twist to it. If you're gonna play games on stream and not pay attention to the story, treating cutscenes and dialogue as time to read your chat, don't bother commenting on it after the fact. Its like someone going to watch a movie and sitting on their phone half the time, then complaining the story doesn't make sense.
You have a really nice point. Streams are not the place to review games "seriously".
You can try it out and stuff, you can have fun on it, but unless you completely neglect the chat, you're not going to be immersing into the game enough to actually have a solid opinion on it.
I gotta say, the actual writing for each of the characters and the voice acting was absolutely on point. The first game had some phoned in stuff and some of the NPC's were so shitty I wish I was deaf, but in Jedi Survivor, it's next level. It reminded me of Bioware RPGs of old. The music tied it all together, but how each cinematic or character conversation was presented, they clearly gave a shit. I firmly believe this is one of the absolute best Star Wars games since KOTOR.
Also, Turgle should be in the next game. All hail Turgle.
I agree the writing and acting in this game was really solid all characters had development not just Cal. It’s sad to see all the hate it’s getting cause of performance I hope they learn and the next game doesn’t release anywhere close to how this one did
Turgle is fucking great, Richard Horvitz is such a good Voice Actor
The ending was nonsensically terrible, though. The way they shoehorned a certain character into being an antagonist was actually one of the worst twist villains I've ever seen, and it was so cynically done to critique a certain popular archetype of character
i agree i almost have 20 hours and only just got to the second planet, so much to take in
@@KarazolaX I dunno. I didn't hate it. I think it definitely could have just been the original one the whole way through, but the secondary Villian did make sense, to a degree, especially after finding out what they did to survive. It would twist anyone to be more scared for the ones they love, and the environment and things they had to do after would've taken a toll. I think what really sold it to me was how they DID seem conflicted on it, at least at certain moments when confronted, but ultimately decided that they had to do what was best for their loved ones despite what they wanted because if they were to risk it it could easily lead to their death.
That being said, it might not have been necessary. The last quarter did felt a little tacked on, perhaps due to the second to last location feeling a little underwhelming, and I think if they stuck with the original antagonist and left it a bit more grandiose it could've been more akin to the old republic/high republic epics, but I also understand that that's not the time period they're in. In the time of the empire, stories like these are more common where it shows that everything has been corrupted, more shades of grey than the true battle of good versus evil with legendary warriors, to where even what might have used to be considered allies in the time of the republic has no choice but to be enemies because of how few choices everyone has.
As someone who was a beta tester, the game didn’t run nearly as bad in beta. No idea what happened with its performance.

Denouvo happened 😊
Which platforms were you testing it on, out of curiousity?
@@davidd.6448 PCs. 3080s with i9s, don’t remember the exact model of i9 though
@@NoName......my brother, I say this respectfully, you’re not that guy.
Rare Charlie L to not understand why the final boss did what he did, like it made perfect sense so I don’t get how he doesn’t understand it, and yea some ppl are like “well he was gonna injure the person he loved” like ok it’s not like we didn’t see anakin do that to padme
I think what Charlie kind of forgot to mention was that the world itself feels much more alive. The one big problem for me with Fallen Order was the emptiness. The suposedly huge Galaxy just felt really lonely. Athough one could argue, that if was intended to have this sort of "Solo and lonely feeling." Jedi Survivor makes the planets feel real and alive, especially with the Canitna.
I noticed this as well across both games. I didn’t exactly mind the emptiness in Fallen Order as it made the journey feel more dangerous like everything was just out to kill us. But I also welcome the galaxy opening up more now for Cal.
@JV yep it kind of fits the story for both games. Although I still prefer having many charaters to talk with and listening to their storys
@@frozie3068 Same I loved going to that bar and talking to people.
I always figured it was sort of on purpose, to highlight the persecution and loneliness call is facing
Definitely true- I didn’t mind with Fallen Order, because it felt pretty clear that they were “isolated worlds” and Kashyyk even had Rebels- so I believed it for the sake of that story, but going further it’s nice to see the galaxy be alive.
Game had me hooked, even with the performance I just couldn’t stop playing until I finished it
Same. Just started NG+ on Grand Master. Rocking the hot pink lightsaber/BD-1 with the party blade. But I'm gonna wait a bit on the first patch.
Bruh you must’ve spent the last 2-3 days doing nothing but playing it 😂 cuz i spent 1 full day playing and I’m nowhere done
@@Skateandcreate9 couldn’t have gotten sick at a better time 🫡
Does it actually have a good story like Star Wars KOTOR? Or is this one of those bad/lame games with a dumb story who’s only “liked” by some ppl bcuz of good graphics and “open world”?
@@charlesg7926 the story is what makes it a great game imo
Performance issues are unforgivable for any AAA game but as regards the story it's an absolutely solid sequel and Star Wars game. I love the story
Niche thing I love is they changed the look of the double lightsaber attack chain, always thought it was underwhelming in the first game but looks really cool in this one
As someone who worked on this game i totally agree with you on shipping out the game with technical bugs. I worked on the cinematic and animation side of things but that was something that always made me annoyed when they were gonna release it as is. Unfortunately it was already delayed several times and with TOTK coming out only a couple months after i think they just couldnt afford to delay it again. It is still the first ever game i worked on and my first introduction into enjoying the star wars franchise so itll always have a soft spot on me.
It’s unfortunate that they rush the publication of games now instead of testing them for bugs. It’s not devs fault but the publishers. Brilliant work nonetheless!
Oh shit not even being sarcastic thank you for making such a great title I wish I worked on a popular game lol
I really like the progressions of abilities learned from the story missions. I think the movement ones just add to the game. I'm glad they expanded on it rather than just having Cal forget everything from Fallen Order just to relearn it.
This is my favorite part, they didn't find some convoluted reason for cow to lose all the abilities he got in the previous game. You still have them all but you get to get new ones which is pretty awesome
Imagine being black 😂

I love when gamers talk about parkour and video games. As somebody who's done it for over a decade it makes me smile to see others get enjoyment out of it vicariously
I honestly love games that include Parkhurst systems, its why Dying Light was a favorite of mine, and why the second was a bit of a let-down
Over the pandemic summer I dropped easily over a hundred hours into Mirror’s Edge
Ever since then I’ve been fascinated.
Out of curiosity, how is your body doing after a decade of parkour? I have this image in my head of all long-term parkour practitioners having shot knees and such. Is that wrong?
@@alaron5698 Aside from the fact that I literally tore my ACL I'm basically fine. As an outsider it might not seem like it but we don't really take much impact at all. For me it's a front flip off of a 10 ft high wall land on the ground and roll back up to my feet feels like as much effort as doing a jumping jack. The core fundamentals of parkour is all about absorbing impacts and displacing energy efficiently without it going into your body. Of course just like any sport they're going to be people who are more reckless than others but also there's going to be people who are much safer than others who condition every day and stretch a lot. I actually find it to be the least risky extreme sport since it's just you and you have the most control over yourself instead of other objects
@@batmanvsuperman_ Try it out for real! There's gyms all around the world for it now
I don't know why Charlie is so stubbornly stuck in his view when he's dead wrong. He must not have been paying attention at all. Bode was planning on escaping to Tanalorr with Cal and the others until he wanted to give it to the Hidden Path - who would be ferrying in and out refugees and military assets constantly, which would draw attention to Tanalorr. And Bode also didn't want to start an army to fight the Emprie, he just wanted a safe place to settle down with his daughter and friends.
Yeah I'm not sure why Charlie is convinced that Bode and Cal had completely aligned views at the end of the game and that the way it ended is just because "everyones fucking dumb all of the sudden". Cal and Bode were aligned up until the point that Cal invited the Hidden Path to Tanalorr. Bode wanted a safe place to live with his daughter free of the dangers of the empire, and Cal wanted to turn it into a planet that raises jedi for guerilla warfare, because throughout the game you learn that that's entirely what Cal has been doing in the time gap between Fallen Order and Survivor.
Hard agree and not a great take from Charlie. Bode’s motivation was there from the start and they built around it. Bode is also is a contrast to what Cal could be given all the temptations to go rogue. If anything, the final 10% symbolizes the best aspect of the narrative.
Thank you for bringing this up, sometimes his takes on certain reviews are lowkey Ls
Nah Charlie's right on this. And I'd even go as far as to say that the whole Tanalorr plotline was stupid. Why are all these characters like Greez, Bode, Merrin so excited about moving to Tanalorr at the moment they hear about its existence? They've never seen it, it could be a fucking hellhole for all they know but they're instantly like ''OH SHIT THERE'S NO EMPIRE? THAT'S MY NEW HOME!!''.
Then add to this Bode's stupidity and how he turns ''evil'' in the final boss fight. This motherfucker says he's doing everything for his daughter, and THEN PROCEEDS TO ALMOST KILL HER LIKE 5 SEPARATE TIMES with his dumbass outbursts. It completely devalues the character and everything he stands for.
They know Talanor is safe cause people have been there before. It's the whole reason for Dagan Gera's turn into the Darkside and we see from Dagans memories that there is even a Jedi temple there that was meant to train younglings.
You also did not pay attention.
Bode was irrational because of he fell to the Darkside, Jedi Survivor doesn't refer to Carl it's referring to Bode. After losing his wife Bode did everything to protect his daughter even working for the empire hunting down many people, along the way he fell to the Darkside just like Anakin did.
And just like Anakin he hurt the one he was supposed to protect, the Darkside will do that to you.
The sound design and music is my favorite part so far. I hope these patches work cause everyone needs to experience this game.
I love your commitment to making insano style a thing, I'm sure Joel Haver appreciates.
Finally finished this game. Loved the first one. I loved this one. 8/10 for me

Congrats to 13 mil king moist , incredible milestone from my fav commentary youtuber
🤧
Holy sh!t I didn’t even realize he has 13mil!!! Wooohooo 🥳
I’m going to hold off and buy it once it gets patched but it’s exciting to hear that otherwise than the performance issues its a great game
I’m having an absolute blast. The scale of this game blew me away the worlds are much larger than fallen order. I have experienced minor performance issues but overall no major complaints. I’m playing on Series X. Its sad to hear that other systems like PC are experiencing these tech issues because at the core the game is truly amazing.
i honestly think they shouldve split the the cantina world into two and that wouldve been better for the game.
I don’t understand how people think bodes betrays is dumb…. It makes total sense . Bode wanted a safe place for his daughter and cal wanted to use the planet to rebuild and strike back at the empire . Cal would be risking everyone’s life . Bode was trying to protect his daughter but the dark side consumed him. This also why I believe gray Jedi should not exist or at least be very rare . The dark side is like a drug it is inventing and not something you can go back and forth .
Personally, I feel like the dark side should be something like very addictive medical drugs(I swear to god I hope this make sense). In moderation, they can be a good thing, but 97% of people get addicted to it and become evil, but those with the strongest wills can manage it. That’s what I think is the best way to do it. But I definitely understand why people don’t like Gray Jedi
Honestly one of the best games I’ve played in a long time
For me, I didn’t run into any performance issues. Mainly because I was playing on the PS5 so everything ran smoothly for me. Overall a great game without the performance issues in my personal opinion, I’d rate it a high 80 or a low 90. My favorite part about the game is how much exploring, expanding and side quests there is to do.
Even before the patches and all that, as an xbox player i gotta agree. it was so buttery smooth for the entire game, it only crashed twice but to be fair, i was doing some bullshit and herded up like 50 stormtroopers in the fence area of the stables soooo i wouldnt really blame it on the game, i was doin shit the devs didn't intend for gamers to do but yeah id give it a low to mid 90, i loved the game so so much, i cried like 4 times and i cant wait for the third game
The game runs abysmally, as of now at least, but when it runs….oh my god, it’s so much fun. I JUST unlocked the Blaster style last night when I was streaming, and I’m excited to try it out on stream
I liked the ending, I think it made sense for the character, since he realizes that if the compass was used how cal wanted it to be used like it would increase the risk of the empire finding out
Yeah I don't understand his problem w the ending I thought it was perfect
fr cal literally had a vision of what would happen if he did use the holocron and it was just order 66 2.0
He played the ending at like 3am and speed ran most of it. I think he completely glossed over the details about how that certain character wanted to be a triple agent but went back on that decision after Cal talked about moving the Hidden Path there and that place becoming an eventual target for the Empire.
I mean all the set up for the turn was done during the D.G fight but if you weren't really paying attention I could see how that one character's betrayal might seem silly.
Bodes character at the end made actually 0 sense. If he was a force user the entire time, why didn’t he use it during the fight with Dagan? They easily could’ve lost that fight and they never would’ve gotten to tanalorr at all.
@@Bluerock121 Bode wasn't about to break his cover just to save Cal. He wasn't at risk of dying and losing Kata just yet. Dagan was entirely focused on Cal at the time with him just kind of toying and tossing aside Bode. Bode didn't even have a lightsaber and probably hadn't even used his force powers for a long time. Remember that Cal couldn't even sense any force powers coming off of Bode. Had Cal died then he probably would have broken out his force abilities to survive. Plus Bode barely had any moments in that fight, by the end Dagan incapacitated them both with force visions that completely overwhelmed Bode. If Cal found out he had force abilities that would open a whole can of worms that he didn't want to answer. Lastly it's only after they defeat Dagan that Bode fully commits to betraying Cal. Remember that Bode's main target was not actually Cal but rather it was Cere Junda and Saw Gerrera. That can be found in the force echoes after the end of the game. Especially since Bode was also chasing after the information for which inquisitor killed his wife. Bode was on board with Tanallor being a safe haven when it was just going to be for Cal and his family other than Cere and Eno. The game also talks about how Bode is a bit unhinged when it comes to Kata's safety. The betrayal makes perfect sense and fits his character just fine.
After having bought and played it nonstop this past week, I'd say that almost all major bugs have been ironed out. I had a damn near flawless playthrough and I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent playing it.
Same
I think they did take a step forward in terms of combat and added a bit more customization so I'm really happy with that aspect, obviously the performance issues did hinder my enjoyment
I love seeing more moist meters! Truly the only reviewer I can trust nowadays
The before you buy series is pretty consistently honest as well
@@aydenulery9562 I agree however I wish they had a score as sometimes it doesn’t come across clear enough (to me at least) how much weight each criticism has
@@Humbie11 yeah I agree. Still, I’d rather have honest reviews with no ratings than IGN refusing to go lower than a 7
ACG and Worth a buy are the gold standard for me, they dont fuck around.
The EFAP podcast is significantly better, though they go into tons of detail so their episodes are really long. And they also don't cover every big release, just ones that pique their interest.
Cal and I look almost exactly the same, I am so happy and thankful there is finally a big red head male protagonist so even if it performs awfully I will always love this series. On PS5 it runs great so for me it’s continued to be an awesome experience ❤❤

I don’t know about other platforms, but I play on series x and it runs great. I didn’t even know people were having issues. I love the game so far and how it builds and improves on the original
This is where I'm at. Had no idea there were problems until coming to the internet. Playing on Series X and haven't had a single issue.
For some reason it's random. Some people on xbox have problems and other who play on xbox dont. Same with pc and playstation
Its pretty much only on pc, idk what it is w companies these days but they cannot make a working pc port 😭
because your on console which gets reallly good optimisation
Because every computer is different. When devs make a game for console everything is tailored for that hardware/system so they can easily optimize and make sure everything runs smoothly, with software users run a giant variety of hardware so devs can't develop for every architectural difference.
That's why console games will always be more stable
I really wish critikal had like, a spoiler section or something bc I’d love to hear more about his thoughts on the third act

He still swears though, those metaphors are basically a part of his normal speech
I'm on ps5, and this game is awesome from the first few minutes. I already don't want it to end
I never experienced any technical issues on my pc, I had steady 95-100 fps. Very thankful for that.
I'm astounded he played on grandmaster difficulty Charlie truly is a master of the force
its a baby game its easy
It’s not exactly anything special to play it on GM
@@Limboinpinbo gm im this game is complete bullshit it so much harder than the first game
@@big_bird8597 it just isn’t
@@Limboinpinbo did you do it
Definitely a step up from Fallen Order especially in the visuals department, hopefully they can address the performance issues soon.
I'm playing through Fallen Order, and tbh I have some gripes with it. Mostly the combat.
So in the start, your "pool" of force powers is really small so I learnt not to use it too much which ended up carrying into the late game and probably hindered my experience with experimenting with force powers.
Then the poise... enemies poise meter will completely refill and start blocking again as soon as they take a hit meaning that they are essentially immune to combos and you just end up parrying them into oblivion.
Poise low-key ruins the combat. Almost every enemy has a poise meter which, like you said, immediately refills but requires a grind of parries to break in the first place on higher difficulties.
You know what isn’t the Jedi power fantasy? Having a drawn out struggle battle against a fucking droid.
Battle droids that are one hit killed in every other medium for this universe can take 20 hits from Cal. Is he using a lightsaber or the hidden dildo weapon from GTA?
@@potato6785 why are you stuffing against a droid?
@@potato6785 I agree I think it’s fine for bosses to recover quickly but for droids and other smaller enemies it’s insane that they only let you get one or two hits off
Y'all need to use your force powers more. Some enemies you can force pull, then they'll try to attack as you pull them, parrying that usually leads to a GIGANTIC amount of block meter loss.
Just got this a full year later and it’s so fun - now that the performance is up it’s probably a 8.5 for me
I’ve been really enjoying the game so far, and the only problems with performance I’ve ran into is in really big areas it turns into a slideshow sometimes but hasn’t been terrible. Maybe I got lucky😂
I love this game so far - great character development, combat, open world, customisation, and storytelling. I’m playing on a ps5 and haven’t had any performance issues yet!
Ps5 master race
a bit of screentearing and framedrops at times. Had a couple of crashes, but yeah nothing too bad on PS5 on performance mode
Combat is trash actually, you people will eat anything the devs give you and that’s the reason they never improve the systems they have
@@Zachebi na they're playing on a 3 month later patch. i have the lauch disk for ps5 on performance mode the fps would regular drop to 40 and sometimes 20 in some busy areas. the performance was awful even on the ps5. didnt bother me much cuz im used to garbage performance but it was still very very bad.
it's SO good. I luckily didn't have too many performance issues
Sameee
I just started playing just a bit yesterday and I have it on ps5 it runs very well I have zero issues so far with performance but the big improvement I’ve seen from fallen order is the movement the movement is so much more fluent
I had no issues with the game on my series X. Sounds like I was lucky. I love this game and can’t wait to explore more.
Man this game sounds so fun!
Cant wait to buy it in a year :)
Hope you won't get it spoiled for you.
@@nate.infinityhaha
I think the ending was pretty good on my end. The game revolves around fear and uncertainty. Some overcome others falls to it. Which the ends makes it the endpoint of for everyone's journey. And how even rationality is overridden to it when things are really on the line when it can't be left to a, maybe. So I'm glad I like this ending feels like an ending unlike the first that stops abruptly.
After watching the stream, his problem was mostly that he wasn't paying attention when playing :/. He didn't understand why Cal and Bode had different objectives, and that Bode didn't like that Cal wanted to make Tannalor a training grounds, instead of a place to hide.
10:00 speaking of the soundtrack, the saloons tracks you can earn in game slap while your playing the holotable.
I just LOVE it when Charlie uses "insaneo style"
Overall I liked the game, the gameplay was pretty good and it was running very smoothly, the voice acting was also on point, I suggest it to every star wars fan
I EOXOPXWE CIRITICLA
The frog boss fight is hell especially when there’s 2. Oggdo is hell and a nightmare when the game doesn’t wanna run right
reggiN
Except the sword play doesnt feel like you would be fighting with a lightsaber at all.
It was very good. Loved the combat, cosmetics, characters, acting, and story. On PS5 I only had frame issues a few times. A couple annoying glitches though.
Great review thanks
i love the gameplay of this game, its tons of fun. I can't wait to actually enjoy the visuals, i can tell they put work into the world but not optimization
Looking past the performance issues this is was of the best games ea has released in a long time. For a company they hates single player they sure know how to make a good one.
performance issues aside, the game is really good story wise. i like the puzzles, and the combat is really good. my issues with the game are minimal, it froze a total of twice so far and only crashed once.
i haven’t played this yet, but the technical issues in the first game made it a lot more fun for me haha
Those two frog things in the little force rift or wtv it was called had me contemplating life decisions on Jedi master difficulty
Rick the technician was a menacing boss fight; I thought I could never beat him. When he charged me with that electrostaff I honestly froze it is almost like he had the force but didn’t tell the empire to hold back that raw power that might even make Vader stumble 😂
The Rangcore boss was one of my favorite boss fights in all of gaming. Genuinely had so much fun with it. It's a shame there aren't more unique legendaries. Regardless, great game.
Idk what Charlie was on here, all the legendary enemies had wider move sets then their normal counterparts.
Yupp, I wholeheartedly agree. We never got post game fixes "back in my day" and while I do see the massive benefits of being able to 'Fix it in post' That should not condone the fact that it NEEDS to be fixed. Very insightful.
I’m really surprised to see everyone having so many problems with it, I’ve been playing a fair amount non stop really and had virtually no problems
This game is honestly really good, I've had some minor framerate drops but otherwise no performance issues at all. I am running on a newer gaming PC though.
Optimization just sucked at some parts but majority of the game ran nice and i dont have as new of a pc I think people like the complain since it isnt consistently 144 fps they clearly havent played older games and let this ruin these issues ruin the whole experience even tho most of the game runs 60 or over at many varying parts
Charlie is the type of guy to be Moist
I havent had any problem with the proformance so i was super suprised when i heard about this
I’m more than halfway through, and I don’t think I’ll enjoy replaying this as I enjoyed replaying the first one, even when issues are resolved.
This game was amazing, screw the performance issues, not letting that big down my review, it’s a 95% for me. On my pc it ran buttery smooth after the patch
The first 3 days it ran bad for me then it got fixed I loved the storyline other then the end 93% from me
The sad thing is that had the publisher gave the developers the time to properly optimize the game to make sure it runs smoothly on all platforms, it could’ve been a great experience.
Or if they just hadn’t laid of 200+ QA workers in early March.
Blaster stance was a goated addition
Just finished the game on Xbox Series S. Loved every moment of it, only crashed twice and I cannot wait to see how they continue(?) the story.
Don’t you love when game publishers use paying customer as beta testers.
Fellow gamers, we stand on the brink of a revolution. A revolution against the corporate greed and corruption that has infected the gaming industry for far too long. We must take a stand and demand change.
The time has come for us to rise up and say "enough is enough." We cannot continue to let game developers and publishers take advantage of us with overpriced DLC, microtransactions, and loot boxes. We must take back our gaming experience and demand that games be created with our enjoyment and satisfaction in mind, not just to make a quick profit.
But this revolution is not just about the gaming industry. It's about standing up against the larger systems of oppression and inequality that plague our society. We must fight for a world where everyone has access to quality games, regardless of their financial situation or social status.
Together, we can create a new gaming landscape, one where creativity and passion are the driving forces behind game development, not just profits. So let us band together, gamers of all kinds, and demand a better future for our industry and for ourselves. Let us start a revolution that will change the gaming world forever.
And if any corporate death squads ask, i'm a handicapped small child.
@@NoName...... "United forever in friendship and labour..."
It’s crazy what they get away with. In this case, they literally laid off 200+ paid QA testers a couple months before release. They’re literally just saving money by making the already paying customers do unpaid work for them after firing their paid workers.
@@Necroskull388 and they have the audacity to charge us $90 CAD lol.
@@NoName......im sorry to say but i think its a little too late for that
i have atleast 20 hours of this game down and have seen maybe 1 minor glitch that did not break the game or lose immersion for me. to be honest this game is a masterpiece, one of the best games i’ve played in years and i am so amazed by the scale and intricacy within this game.
I feel the same way my Xbox series X has ran the game great.
@@MrMorningWood5779 yeah i’m on xbox series x
I’m on PS5 and it runs great, though I had a lot of screen tearing on 60 fps mode so I had to stick to 30, and there were some frame drops but they weren’t that common
My PS5 has run great. Sometimes frame rate drops but it’s been fun as hell
@@largeboi4678 performance mode is messed up currently.
If you play on quality, those problems go away
Aside from the technical issues i realy do believe there is a great game underneath. And i think it vastly improves everything from the first, the saber combat is so smooth and the combos are satisfying as hell. I know it isnt perfect but im having so much fun playing this.
Jeez Charlie did you play this game in the lowest settings possible?

"I open up my wallet
and it's full of blood"
Godspeed, brother.
I didnt have many issue during my playthrough just 1 single crash and it just had shader issues like getting flashbanged outta nowhere but one funny thing is during 1 boss fight it says as a tip to use the force to throw an object back at the boss when thrown at you but since it takes a sec for force push to proc you get hit every single time or at the very least the timing window is insanely short and I really only see people use the same 2 stances, Blaster stance and Crossguard
Could you please do like a Moist Meter: Rehydrated series? It'd be like a retrospective on games that have gotten better or worse over release. Since a lot of games are under constant development, I think it'd be really cool to see a revitalization in games where developers are working hard to keep their player base somewhat happy and engaged with new content. i.e. cyberpunk, dlcs, warframe, tf2, genshin...
Honestly, if you're not on PC, I'd definitely recommend this game. I played it on series S and it was still a bit buggy and some light performance issues but otherwise I was having an absolute blast the entire time
@@jumbogumbo9677 Same, i have one of the newer ps5's and playing on quality mode is actually quite pleasant! I absolutely love this game so far
@@jumbogumbo9677 My game crashed three times, but in between it’s been really great and fun; I’m just enjoying it for what it is.
I really felt like this was more of a platforming game than anything else
Yeah and it felt terrific
did you already finish the game?
And you still bought it, plyed it and supported it
The first game was quite good and this looks better. It's a pity about the technical issues. I think this is one for me to pick up when I next upgrade my PC.
Once this game is fixed, everyone needs to know this is a solid 10/10
This mindset is why triple a game devs think it's okay to release unfinished games.
Idk about a 10/10 man the story is not anything special and I feel a step down from the last game
Gotta disagree. Story felt weak, especially compared to the last game.
Even with a weak story never made the game feel worse since it wasnt the highlight this time around. It was actually a nice story at many parts and sometimes a little predictable. I instantly knew who the main villian was and thats ok. The gameplay alone and world exploring made up for all the lacking elements. Ik people care about fps and I agree it should be better optimized but never did it ruin the experience to where I personally couldnt play. The fact the game is so vast and basically was the first game times 10 is amazing. I felt the first game had issues with level design not feeling natural but this game made most levels feel not so video game like on many occasions. I hope the fps drops dont stop people from playing this amazing game since its only in very little areas where its really bad. Not once was I in an area where it felt completely unplayable and i was even streaming it in 1080p 60fps. I know people will be angry at it but its not unplayable by any means nor really the worse. But im someone who grew up not caring about fps in my single player games because it was just about the gameplay for me and whether i felt good and had fun. Animations and environment are beautiful and the enemies are great esp for star wars fans. I wish there was more with the main story esp for the first villians but Rayvis was maybe the best villian while what I will call B was kind of lacking but it created an interesting moral dilema which sadly wasnt explored more. In my opinion gameplay visuals and animations plus just the vast ideas they had easily 10 out of 10 story was maybe 7-10 couldve been better at times but still hit when it needed to. If you enjoyed fallen order this game will be a surprise for you on every level i couldnt believe it was the continuation if Fallen Order tbh. Solid ass game honestly game of the year once they fix optimization it just hits perfectly on the feeling. Please dont let a few laggy areas stop you from playing since in all honesty its very lil just turn off raytracing and turn down some graphics since it hardly makes a difference when playing. If lag when in a huge area stops you please reconsider since it hardly makes up whats in store most of the game does run solidly
>once the game is fixed
>currently 10/10
Well which one is it?
The game performed well for me, I loved the game so much. Might be my favorite Star Wars game
Same here. Did you play it on PS5? I heard it was mainly just pc users who experienced performance issues
@@alanovasquez6755i have 2 pcs (6950xt and 3070 ti) and neither had any isssues. no crashes at all on 1440p epic which i was surprised at that amount of performance from a 3070 so it wasn't as bad as people acted like it was.
The end story stuff is kinda explained with post game collectible force echos that add a depth to all that happened
