I bought the game when it first came out and it was terrible. The audio was especially bad. I made it to the first town and did some things but couldn't get over the poor voice acting and overall jankiness. Was definitely bit by the hype on it.
I'd like to see it played by someone that doesn't block every single hit. Of course it looks badass when the player is blocking everything. Looks a lot cooler than monkey staff game though.
I hope this game is a success. Just because it's a ubi game doesn't meant it doesn't have a ton of great dedicated people working on it. To trash it before it ever gets a chance is pretty bad form. Cautiously optimistic here as getting lost in the Star Wars universe sounds awesome in theory. Let's hope they execute.
Wish I could have known, game was never playable for me because of constant crashing. Square Enix and Playstation both ignored me when reporting it. Really left a bad taste in my mouth.
Action looks slow and undercooked. They should have showed a segment from later in the game with a few more abilities unlocked. This looks repetitive because the main character has one ability unlocked and then basic attacks. All of the distinct enemies have the same reactions when they are attacked. So if you hit two of the same types of enemies at once they do the same exact animation of taking a hit. That is basic level development, breaks immersion, and just looks stupid. I'll keep my eye on it but they needed to come out swinging and this sort of lackluster showcase is going to hurt them.
@Contimaloris Nah I can see why they did it this way. They aren't locked to any canon and can do or go wherever they like, for example they could do the Jabba scene and have you see Han in the carbonite. I'm sure there will be a lot of Easter eggs and sites that we'll notice from the original trilogy. Ubisoft is good at that world building and history type stuff, hope they do it in this game. That being said I will probably get it when it has the first price drop and bugs are worked.
This was the rare case where I preorder a game. The demo sold me thoroughly and I knew it would be good. Other developers should take note on the power of demos.
@Jayslow 100%. Valhalla sucked mainly because the setting was drab and boring to me. The equipment was mostly stupid looking, leathers and cloth and running around looking like you are wearing 10 fabric coats at the same time. This has potential to have badass weapons and armor and a great setting. I probably won't finish it, but will get a good 50 hours of fun in before I move to the next game and that's just fine to me. I'm hoping the main character is quick and nimble amd can flip over *****.
@Totheteeth Two was the worst imo and nothing to do with it not being open world. Too many assets were reused over and over and it became repetitive. The characters were cool though and I enjoyed the fighting.
I bet it slips to Q1 2025. Bioware is gone if this isn't a huge success. I'm rooting for them. I have loved the Dragon Age series for a long time. I personally thought Inquisition was excellent and DAO is in my top 10 of all time
@Hyena_socks It's Unicorn Overlord, not Overload lol. And yes there are mentions of a legendary unicorn so far so I think there will actually be something about them later on.
@NotSoCryptic They don't provide support for issues with physical games either and yeah I didn't come here for a debate or passive aggressive insults so last reply you'll get from me
@NotSoCryptic It's not the price increase, it's the no refund policy and no support when you have issues. Sorry you wrote a book after your assumption though.
For the first time since plus was available, I'm letting my account lapse. Tired of Sony and their anti consumer policies. I think I have 6 more months
@Ward_ting Yeah I shut off my renewal. Probably an unpopular opinion here, but I'm about done with Playstation due to their lack of consumer friendly service. Poor support if you have issues with anything, no refunds, and now a price hike on the service, it was just the final straw for me. I'm heading to PC at last. Now all the big games get released on PC eventually so not really missing out on much.
Awaken Realms is a large campaign board game company and makes excellent games. They also own Gamefound which is a board game centric Kickstarter. They're a pretty neat company and hope to see this be a success for them.

Re: Rumour: SEGA Wants Persona to Be an Annual Franchise Alongside Like a Dragon, Sonic
They should just make it live service and add a season pass. That way they only have to make the game one time and just have people pay over and over.
