      Yea but the stances in the game are just more utilitarian and gameplay-focused than having to describe and differentiate 7+ different forms. Much more user-friendly to say “this stance uses a blaster” “this stance uses two sabers” “this stance uses a crossguard saber” than having to sift through stats

    • @jacobgeiger4589
      @jacobgeiger4589 Год назад +2

      To be fair that is basically what it does. While it doesn’t use their names, these stances are for the most part in the lore. Dual sabers and double bladed are aggressive in both the movies and tv shows, the single blade stance uses moves that copy Obi wan from the movies largely if you look closely, and the cross guard is finally getting better lore here by it being explained that it was a heavy enforcement attachment for the high republic and not just Kyle’s design for his overheating crystal.

    I think the greatsword lightsaber was kinda a silly idea… it’s a fucking lightsaber it’s not like it’s going to weigh more if you makes it’s weightless blade a bit longer so there’s no reason to make the weapon slower.
    I probably won’t use that weapon because making a big lightsaber move slow seems like a dumb idea. By that logic double bladed lightsabers should be heavy as all hell lmao.
    EDIT: I’m really happy they beefed up the customization though so you can make your Jedi how you want, one of the things that peeved me about the previous game was having 50 different color variations of the same fucking poncho lol.

      Bruh same. I'm a medieval weapons collector/historian and it's simply the dumbest idea ever. Those blades don't have weight at all (from what we know) so there's no reason for it to be slow. Not to mention you can cut with no kinetic energy whatsoever, so big swings are illogical as well. Lightsaber pikes and spears are stupid too because you can't safely block at all. There's a lot of very unrational combat regarding lightsabers

    Since they didn’t do the thing where you have to use a certain stance to be maximally efficient against a certain enemy type (some exceptions) I think the game would really benefit from a wheel where cal can change to any of the stances at any time.

    Huh. You say 20 Hours is long, I had hoped the game would be at least 30-40 hours long. Also I had really hoped for more big explorable planets, not less (as it sounds from your video). Fallen Order really only had 3 planets worth exploring fully and my expectation of Jedi Survivor was at least double that, if not more. The Inquisition not being a big story focus also confuses me. All in all this made me a bit more hesitant about even wanting to play this game.
    Fallen Order was great because it was a relatively toned down Star Wars Jedi experience. You werent a superpower Jedi slaughtering your way through hundreds of enemies, you were just a Padawan who was slowly regaining his connection with the force. You didnt zip all over the place, your force powers were basic. Cals lightsaber fighting style was crude and simplistic, but it worked. This looks more like an an action hack and slay ala Force Unleashed than the last game. I am not sure if I am a fan.
