At some point sure.

But I wasn’t thrilled with the combat in Fallen Order. Parrying just didn’t feel right, and it was silly to me that stormtroopers and space moles could beat me. I felt like a chump with pretty weak force powers.

It really was Star Wars Uncharted.

Having said that I still had a good time with it overall.

 

[Doom85]

I kept wanting to pick up the guns like in Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. That was my biggest complaint.

 

[Vick]

No. The first had terrible gameplay.

It absolutely didn't. Not much depth, but once mastered still satisfying.

I just missed dismemberment and focus on physics, yes they are still in the game but extremely toned down compared to the Lucas games, and the metroidvania structure could have been executed better as many areas felt way to small.
Game was also woke as fuck, but still good nonetheless. Some:

Spoiler: Character

Vader

Sequences were amazing.

Day One.
Unless its releasing around the same time as The Coalitions next project.

Its not a must have, but if it gets launched in the right window im all for it.
The first one got me by surprise I expected to enjoy it but didnt think i would like it as much as I actually did.
Maybe going in with low expectations bolstered my enjoyment of the title.

P.S
Unpopular opinion, Cal is the least interesting character in his own game.
I wouldnt mind playing literally anyone else in the sequel.

 

[Kataploom]

I loved Fallen Order so I'll pick the next one, just not sure I will at launch.

It's one of those games I wish released more since everything nowadays is TPS or FPS and while I have fun with them, not the type of fantasy I like for myself, prefer more melee combat.

I hope they don't do the stupidity to make it fully open world because then I'll just give up on the franchise for a while (unless comments are way too good).

 

[ToTTenTranz]

The answer is yes.
I'll probably buy it on disc for the PS5 so I can lend it to friends, or they'll buy it on disc and lend me eventually.

Day one!

I really enjoyed the first game....starved for good single player star wars content!

Can understand this since I hate Naruto because of the same reason, but in his case I can understand it since he's too young, he's alone, he wasn't prepared at all for all that shit and basically had to carry his ass however he could and managed to do well enough... But as I said, he's too young and it's pretty normal for him to have so many hesitations and not make the best decisions all as an adult Obiwan would.

 

[Rendered Tangent]

No. The first had terrible gameplay.

I know it's your opinion, but did you really not find the combat and exploration enjoyable at all?

 

[dorkimoe]

Yes but I really hope they got rid of respawning enemies when you leave and re enter an area

 

[GymWolf]

Day one for me, the first one was decent enough.

I expect big improvements.

 

[Boneless]

PS5 force unleashed game please. I want to see my lightsabre light up a dark room on my oled.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'll most certainly play it, but I don't know about day one. Depends on what is shown, and how enticing it is.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I’ll wait for gamepass

 

[Hendrick's]

I know it's your opinion, but did you really not find the combat and exploration enjoyable at all?

Not really. It just didn't feel good to play and the areas were pretty linear.

 

[Rendered Tangent]

Not really. It just didn't feel good to play and the areas were pretty linear.

I agree the different planets didn't offer much open world free roam.

For me, I think the Star Wars tone and the personality of the characters carried it and made it a level above a bog standard cash grab.

 

[trikster40]

Hell yeah, loved the first one! Just hope it lives up to it!

 

[BlackTron]

FO was not really the speed I was looking for in a Jedi game, so nah.

 

[remember_spinal]

I came out the metaphorical Star Wars closet last year and admitted that i don’t and never have actually liked Star Wars.

Its such a lame fucking franchise tbh

 

[stn]

Yeah, for sure. I enjoyed the first one and intend to platinum it at some point. It was a very "safe" game though so I hope this one does things a bit differently.

This is so dramatic.

Anyways, day one for me.

 

[Solarium]

yes, but I'm hoping they're able to fix some of the obvious issues in the last one cause they were annoying to deal with (looking at you, excessive backtracking)

 

[balls of snow]

Yeah. I really like the crew of the first game and if they go grim dark af with the sequel, it will be epic.
Its funny how ea is changing strats, when Fallen Order was revealed, it was balls to the wall coverage up to release. Now, we barely get a trailer..bam march release date (rumored).

 

[Raven117]

At some point, but probably not day 1

 

[NightmareFarm]

Yeah, for sure. I enjoyed the first one and intend to platinum it at some point. It was a very "safe" game though so I hope this one does things a bit differently.

This game is said to be a lot darker and might be more ambitious since it's next gen exclusive.

This. Just make the plot dark as fuck and it should work.

 

[DragoonWalker]

You'd really hate the force unleashed then where it takes like 20 fucking slashes to kill off a regular stormtrooper

Prepare for the same thing in Wolverine. You can't just have a character cutting through everything in 1 hit.

But why not? The problem is games are so locked into safe formulas/templates now they have to play a certain way, like part souls, part Metroidvania, etc to accomodate player familiarity. You can have lightsabers one hit stormtroopers. Just design the game around that and make the challenge come from elsewhere. Jedi Outcast did it, 20 years ago:

 

[Helghan]

Definitely, but I'll first finish Starfield and by then I can get Jedi Survivor on the cheap
