I hate how these games are too afraid to play with anything cannon.
It’s always “Yet another faction” or some enemy you’ve never heard of before. Yeah, they talk about the Hutts and Crimson Dawn, but that’s all you’ll see of them, those 2 cutscenes.
I guess what I’m saying is I would love a game where you fight crimson dawn, or with the hutts, or you join up with them, or something. I don’t like how every game franchise has a new faction/enemy that conveniently you’ve never heard of before and will never care about again after this. Yes, it can be fun, but it makes it feel extremely disconnected from the rest of the universe.
Edit: I learned from another thread that the Hutts aren’t even going to be a part of the base game, that’s a Season Pass/DLC item! So the base game will be even less connected with the star wars universe!
This is why Star Wars Force Unleashed will always be one of my favourite Star Wars works ever. They went absolutely nuts with it and said fuck the lore. Brilliant game.
There’s a whole fucking galaxy in Star Wars and you want to see the same things you’ve already seen before? Hell no, show me new people and places and characters! Why does the fate of the entire galaxy hinge on like 20 people in two or three families? Surely there are other, equally important people who exist in the galaxy far, far away?
I guess a balance is needed. I agree, and maybe I just sound like a whiny gamer, but I hate it being completely disconnected, but I agree everything right now is set in between episodes 3 and 4, and there’s so much more.
Lol I didn’t think you sounded whiny, but I did think it would be funny to counter your opinion of “Star Wars should never change!” with “Star Wars should be something different!” so we encompass the spectrum of complaining Star Wars fans. :D
The entire galaxy hinges on them because its a space fantasy with superheros and supervillains… If just anyone could change the fate of the galaxy then it wouldnt be the same star wars. Its fun to be involved in those main events, even by proxy. Just existing in the universe can be fun too, i admit, but its a different fun.
I think it’s a breath of fresh air to get something new from Star Wars after so long. I’m sick of seeing the same 3 planets and 10 characters over and over again.
He looks really cool. Unfortunately, this game needs some big system changes that I hope, but don’t expect, they’ll make some day. The way burst works, in particular, would be at the top at the list, and as long as there are good universal defensive options, more kameos can have ambush assists (the ones that can be done at any time), which would really open up the freedom of the game, where MK1 is at its best.
This game gets a lot of (rather justified) flak, but I'll be honest, the first time I played this, it scared the bejeesus out of me. So much so that whenever I would play other games and the lights would start to flicker, my first thought would be "Fuck, the manpigs are coming."
Awesome videos! Especially german and french citizens should go wild with this since we have the strongest consumer protection. They even give you a tutorial for your specific country and situation.
Not only that, but he has enough clout that he can usually convince GOG to put whatever game he’s reviewing on sale when his video comes out. He’s a great channel to follow for patient gamers.
To add to OP’s comment: reviews are not only a means to form an opinion on wether to buy an upcoming title.
Yeah, the game might be older, but there are still people out there who have not played it. But that’s beside the point - I, for example, watch this channel because I’m interested in Mandalore’s opinion, his take on a game. I have absolutely played A Machine for Pigs back in the day (and found it mediocre compared to the actual Frictional Games titles), so watching the video is akin to talking to a friend over a drink: “hey, remember xyz? that was a (great | crappy | forgettable) game…”
This kind of content might take me back to a game I haven’t played in ages and makes me mentally engage with the title again - or it might put the spotlight on an obscure title few have ever heard of, or a rare forgotten gem that somehow was overlooked.
Many players do not have a desire to only play the latest and newest games, but actively look for older titles, maybe due to nostalgia, maybe due to the games having a different focus, structure etc. back then. Not saying that “everything was better” in the olden days, but different strokes for different folks, right.
That’s true, I’ve not come across anything like this with reviews many years later, just retrospectives in EDGE and stuff like that. I’m a fan of the Chinese Room and own the game, but I’ve not played it before. I’ll check the video later, least of all as I’ve been playing a lot more indie (and older) stuff of late.
I get your point but you’ve got it backwards imo. Detailed reviews come out whenever, especially if it’s a single guy doing all the work. Pre-release reviews are, at best, rushed (very few publishers will give review keys more than two weeks before release, and you usually have several releases to cover each week), and at worse, more or less dictated by the publisher (lest your publication get blacklisted and you never get a pre release key from that publisher ever again).
Yeah, the online being fake is appalling. Sega knew in advance that this game would be completely dead online, meaning no one's playing it. They knew what would happen and they took this deal anyway.
Seems cool, but it’s always a hard question to ask: why should I switch from Factorio to this? The mobile factory thing seems interesting, but I can’t see the value. Maybe I’d get it if I played it.
I usually ignore video only posts, but the cover art actually caught my eye, this is one of the few times I actually watched the video and that game looks absolutely sick. Instantly wishlisted to keep tabs on it
