    Jedi Survivor is so much bigger, bolder and more ambitious than its predecessor. By and large it delivers, but the horrendous PC performance utterly ruined this for me. I'm so bummed about it because this is a great game that deserved a better port.

      It's so disappointing that it runs like that, and even more so how if you have a Czech keyboard or comparibly "rare" language keyboard, the game doesn't register your 1-9 keys no matter the layout. But, on the other side, I have to say the game runs completely fine on both my gen 1 Acer Nitro 5 (the 1060 one) and my PC (with 3060 gpu). Pretty stable 30+ FPS, which makes me happy considering my hardware. But the keyboard thing is unforgiveable. It was similar issue in JFO, but at least in JFO switching keyboard layout in Windows to en/US or en/UK worked fine. Jedi Survivor just doesn't register the keys at all.... So purely unplayable unless I go back to Germany and play on German keyboard :/

      I played on pc using a keypad. This game is better than the first. It took me about 60 hrs to complete and during all that time I never, not once, experienced lag and I only encountered one bug (bad guy's cape was stretched across the room). It's a magnificent game. Spectacularly beautiful and characters I really cared about. Top 10 all time gaming experiences (minus a sadistic developer on a couple of the force tears minigames). It breaks my heart that so many people are hating on it because it's everything they promised and more. That being said, you need a good computer. But you always need a good computer to play these types of games.

      Playing on Jedi Grandmaster and you def right about having to learn certain enemies' move types before even coming close to beating them. Still on my first play-through. Playing on Jedi Master. Having a lot of fun. No real brick walls that stopped me for a while but plenty of challenges. I found Jedi Knight to be a good difficulty for me, it wasn't so easy it became boring or monotonous and it wasn't such a challenge that I got frustrated, although a few of the bosses were particularly difficult. I considered going with Jedi Master at first since I managed to beat the fallen order on Grandmaster with relative ease, but I'm definitely glad I decided against it, at least for my first playthrough. I'll probably go on Master when I try New Journey+ though. I started last night on Jedi Master. It feels pretty good. It's challenging but not super intense. Mostly, it's the groups of 3 or more enemies where you have to play smart. Fun game! Managed to beat the game on Grandmaster and am going through on new game plus on the same difficulty right now! Those DT droids are still my least favorite enemies to come up against, but it seems like they can be staggered if you're aggressive enough and that can open them up to an instant kill animation at about 50% hp. Jedi Master is the perfect balance between difficulty and immersion to me, The Grandmaster one is doable but just less fun, you feel way too fragile. Maybe if Cal's damage output was higher okay, but it feels like hitting enemies with a wooden stick. I just finished a run on Fallen Order on Jedi Master so I felt good about my first survivor play through being on Jedi Knight. It’s about what I expected. Not so challenging that I’m frustrated but not so easy I feel invincible. I found the drop-down from grandmaster to master was surprising, GM was hardcore af, the moment you get surrounded by more than four or five enemies you need to be absolutely perfect with your dodge and parry. Master was a breeze after trying and failing at that lol Played through on Jedi Knight mode just because it felt right since Cal's a knight. It was certainly a grind, but had some pretty satisfying kills. (that's only when the damned game wouldn't crash though) The difficulty is also shown on the HUD. In the bottom left where the d-pad buttons are shown, there is a dot in 1(2 if Grandmaster) of the 4 corners. The lowest starts top left and goes CW from there with Grandmaster having 2 dots top right and bottom left Whenever I’m playing on Grandmaster, I find it much easier to use a defensive stance such as the cross guard of double saber. It really helps prevent your block meter from running out too fast Playing on the higher difficulties I found the double blade stance to be so useful against ranged attacks I feel like for Grandmaster, dual wield and cross guard are gonna be the move. Dual wield for just running around killing enemies, cross guard for those situations where your block is being drained quickly I started with Grandmaster, and personally, I used some of the force powers but it was mostly about picking off your opponents from ranged to melee or from weakest to strongest with lightsaber attacks. I was using duel wield and blaster stances. So glad to hear I’m not alone in wanting to play on the Padawan difficulty. I was playing Jedi Knight, but it wasn’t fun. It was annoying, and I couldn’t seem to get the party right. Padawan lets me not get so involved in the fight and I can step back and learn. 100%, the double blade and cross guard stance were my go-to stances in Grand Master. Cross Guard takes a lot of learning, but once you have it down, it shreds.

    I have to say, the sort of game design you describe from 20:30 on is the exact kind of thing I have been hoping for more of in modern gaming.
    Cosmetic/side content that's treated like respectable gameplay and which stands up on it's own. Things just being fun for their own sake, not just busywork you put up with for rewards and bonuses. Core gameplay that's fun and intuitive enough that it doesn't need to be papered-over with numbers, stats and pointless upgrades (Although, from your combat description, I guess they did not stick the landing on this one).
    Still, it is kind of shocking to see this kind of design philosophy from an EA-owned studio. I figured the management would have smothered ideas like these in the crib for being "not monetized enough" and "not psychologically manipulative enough to retain the attention of the lowest denominator" or whatever.
    I might pick this up in a year or so, once the performance is hopefully fixed. Here's hoping they don't use the technical problems as an excuse to kill this sort of design in the future.

    The interlocking lightsaber on paper has the potential to be one of the coolest morph weapons ever; it's such a shame that they didn't capitalize on that and develop the combat experience more. Switching between 4-5 stances seemlessly depending on your situational needs or to create combos and strings would have been so cool.

      It should have been at the very least a post-game unlock like in DMC5. It also would have been better with more delay and multibutton combos. Still though, it's clear they wanted you to master 2 stances at a time, and it goes with Cal still not being a master Jedi.

    • @BiggieJ4224
      @BiggieJ4224 11 месяцев назад

      This. I mainly am so bummed out about this game not reaching what it should have been because one thing, and that is that this game could be fantastic on a CONCEPTUAL level. What I mean by that is like you said with interlocking lightsabers, mixing force abilities with melee combat etc. I think the souls approach was a horrible idea tbh with this game, it’s hard to explain why this games combat feels so bland and repetitive. But I don’t feel like narrowing down every reason why it’s bad, all I’d say is just make the third game so much more fast paced and free flowing, god of war ragnorok is probably the best combat system I’ve ever played, it strikes the perfect balance between very challenging enemy design (although I do have a few gripes with that) and very satisfying and fast paced combat. Jedi 3 or whatever they call it should completely branch off from what it’s done so far imo. It should stop trying to be the Star Wars version of souls, and just be A Star Wars combat game, that is more akin to god of war and other Great combat systems. It’s actually surprising because the combat director/lead was the lead on god of war 3’s combat, which yea I get that those two systems are completely different but I’m surprised how he went from formulating such a satisfying, exhilarating combat experience from that game, to making this buggy, janky, slow, sluggish and boring combat.

      My older system ran things better than people with newer systems. The main problem was that you were systems have a different type of p cores and e cores. And the game for whatever reason didn’t take into account for that. At least at first. It runs great now. But yeah, for whatever reason the game was treating the processor as all the same cores. It wasn’t putting them to power ones.
      My sixth generation i7 6700k and 980ti was able to run things on high settings and I wasn’t experiencing anywhere near the FPS drops that people with much stronger machines were experiencing. That’s my guess anyway.

      I've saw a breakdown of performance showing that the issue is a CPU bottleneck, which may be a bug but it's why changing settings doesn't help. If you take your system and plop a better CPU in it, you should see an improvement but changing setting will still not change the performance. (A better CPU will result in a performance bump but the game still can't utilise the CPU properly and it will still hold the GPU back.)

    The biggest problem with combat is enemies can animation-cancel you but you cant animation-cancel them. So whenever you get an opportunity for a cool move or a combo type move they can just tap you before you get it off and you just take a hit
    edit: to the "get good" guys in the replies. Yes, I also play on the hardest difficulty. Yes, this game is easy to abuse the dodge mechanic and it's very easy to time parries. Thats not what I or anyone is complaining about.

      @@Omega77232 From playing Fallen Order, I think the combat desperately needs a visual spidey-sense dodge system like in Spider-man. Remember Luke "feeling the force" when Obi-Wan gave him a helmet with an opaque visor for his first training? You're a damn Jedi but in this game you're relying entirely on watching the enemy's animations and trying to get the timing just right for your dodge/parry window and it's not even a very generous window.

    1. Turn image scaling on within Jedi survival program settings in the manage 3D settings tab.
    2. Turn on Multisample for anti aliasing transparency.
    3. Set power management to prefer maximum power.
    4. Set texture filtering for anisotropic sample to on.
    5. Set texture filtering for negative lod bias to allow.
    6. Set texture filtering quality to performance.
    7. Set texture filtering trilinear optimization to on.
    In game settings. I'm running at 2k/1440p
    All settings high. No FSR. No RT. On an rtx 3070, and Ryzen-9 5900x. I went from 40fps to 73fps and the picture quality looks better. Don't forget to reset game and system after implantation of new settings.

    Out of curiosity what OS are you on, W10 or W11? A lot of reviews are rightfully complaining about performance, but there are also those lucky few of us that had no performance issues whatsoever other than the occasional stuttering when DirectX 12 does runtime shader compilation or it loads a new zone. Those stutters for me were rather minor and DID in fact improve after a few updates. The game runs smooth as butter for me now at 1440P on maxed settings (ray tracing off).
    For what it's worth I'm on the latest W11, i9 12900F and a RTX 3080. Game's on a average speed nvme SSD.
    EA put out a statement that some systems experiencing these performance issues were due to some people using W10 on chipsets specifically tailored for W11, a bit hard to verify since most people - me included - won't necessarily be formatting our PCs just to test performance. But on paper, it makes sense and is not impossible to be the culprit. But naturally people shun anything EA says because gamers these days refuse to do troubleshooting and also utterly refuse to believe that some issue could potentially be on their end. God forbid their precious little computer being anything but flawless.
    Personally I wish Respawn would make use of PSO Caching to help alleviate the issue of DX12 compiling shaders at runtime, or maybe they were but it was not working right. Who knows.

    Couldn't agree more on the combat and platforming complaints.
    I often find myself missing the linear, more focused levels of Fallen Order. In Survivor it feels like every turn is platforming, climbing, swinging, puzzling etc. and it gets exhausting. I'm aware FO was the same way but it wasn't as repetitive with its smaller levels (except the damn slides man I don't miss those). Survivor makes that "on rails" feeling stand out a lot more. There's also a lot of gotcha moments that become predictable. Any time I see a set piece that might break or whatever I just assume I'm gonna fall down a hole or something is gonna throw me off the course. It's a little bit overused.
    The combat is pretty much the same. The actual mechanics of it are fine, always have been, but the stances are kind of meh. They don't add enough to really shake things up but there's still more ways to play so whatever. Crossguard is my favorite so far with double (saber staff) being very close behind.
    The larger mobs and force resistant enemies are just kind of annoying. It's all doable, I'm not even having trouble, but it can be tedious. Some fights I feel like I either get shot in the back every time drop my guard/swing, or I'm heavily defending/parrying/shooting/pursuing until the ranged nerds are done for and I can clean up the rest. It is easy to get stunlocked if you aren't careful and it sucks. At least the beasts knock you down and it resets combat to neutral.
    They give you these long windup moves in every tree but a lot of times you get hit, shot or both while trying to charge them. Which is fine other than the fact that, per the descrpition, a lot of these are meant to be your crowd control/AOE moves. If they were high risk, single target attacks I would feel better about them (crossguard is the only stance I use since I got it so idc that you have to think/time), but I was looking forward to these moves and I've since respecced and spent those points elsewhere. There's so many better ways to dismantle large groups that they aren't worth the effort.
    There's definitely stuff from the first game that needed improvement. Unfortunately, they kept in some of those annoyances and favored adding more of them and, well, more of everything. More is great in some aspects and very samey in others. I'm enjoying the game overall but I find myself condemning the same things in Survivor that I did in Fallen Order.

      I couldn't agree more about the platforming, puzzling and climbing. More than half of the game are annoying platforming puzzles and the combat encounters are few and far between. You have to jump around like a madman for 20 minutes just to fight some random storm troopers that get knocked off in less than a minute. What a waste.

    The New Game Plus allows you to skill up the other stances. So you have excitement for that after beating the first run.

    Playing on Jedi Grandmaster and you def right about having to learn certain enemies' move types before even coming close to beating them. Still on my first play-through. Playing on Jedi Master. Having a lot of fun. No real brick walls that stopped me for a while but plenty of challenges. I found Jedi Knight to be a good difficulty for me, it wasn't so easy it became boring or monotonous and it wasn't such a challenge that I got frustrated, although a few of the bosses were particularly difficult. I considered going with Jedi Master at first since I managed to beat the fallen order on Grandmaster with relative ease, but I'm definitely glad I decided against it, at least for my first playthrough. I'll probably go on Master when I try New Journey+ though. I started last night on Jedi Master. It feels pretty good. It's challenging but not super intense. Mostly, it's the groups of 3 or more enemies where you have to play smart. Fun game! Managed to beat the game on Grandmaster and am going through on new game plus on the same difficulty right now! Those DT droids are still my least favorite enemies to come up against, but it seems like they can be staggered if you're aggressive enough and that can open them up to an instant kill animation at about 50% hp. Jedi Master is the perfect balance between difficulty and immersion to me, The Grandmaster one is doable but just less fun, you feel way too fragile. Maybe if Cal's damage output was higher okay, but it feels like hitting enemies with a wooden stick. I just finished a run on Fallen Order on Jedi Master so I felt good about my first survivor play through being on Jedi Knight. It’s about what I expected. Not so challenging that I’m frustrated but not so easy I feel invincible. I found the drop-down from grandmaster to master was surprising, GM was hardcore af, the moment you get surrounded by more than four or five enemies you need to be absolutely perfect with your dodge and parry. Master was a breeze after trying and failing at that lol Played through on Jedi Knight mode just because it felt right since Cal's a knight. It was certainly a grind, but had some pretty satisfying kills. (that's only when the damned game wouldn't crash though) The difficulty is also shown on the HUD. In the bottom left where the d-pad buttons are shown, there is a dot in 1(2 if Grandmaster) of the 4 corners. The lowest starts top left and goes CW from there with Grandmaster having 2 dots top right and bottom left Whenever I’m playing on Grandmaster, I find it much easier to use a defensive stance such as the cross guard of double saber. It really helps prevent your block meter from running out too fast Playing on the higher difficulties I found the double blade stance to be so useful against ranged attacks I feel like for Grandmaster, dual wield and cross guard are gonna be the move. Dual wield for just running around killing enemies, cross guard for those situations where your block is being drained quickly I started with Grandmaster, and personally, I used some of the force powers but it was mostly about picking off your opponents from ranged to melee or from weakest to strongest with lightsaber attacks. I was using duel wield and blaster stances. So glad to hear I’m not alone in wanting to play on the Padawan difficulty. I was playing Jedi Knight, but it wasn’t fun. It was annoying, and I couldn’t seem to get the party right. Padawan lets me not get so involved in the fight and I can step back and learn. 100%, the double blade and cross guard stance were my go-to stances in Grand Master. Cross Guard takes a lot of learning, but once you have it down, it shreds.

I didn't run into any of the cut scene issues and it ran relatively smooth on 4k with RT on and cranked up to max settings. I was running AMD FidelityFX on quality. I tried it with AMD FidelityFX disabled and though the graphics looked better I did notice the random frame rate drop so decided to turn it back on set to quality. In the very beginning of the game I noticed random frame drops up until around the time I was able to fully control my character. The lowest I've seen my fps while monitoring was 58 and highest 121. It was averaging in the mid 80s. GPU usage was around 65% and CPU about 25%.

    Great review only points I'd argue are Respawn being able to do good melee combat because they can do good FPS, that's the mindset Microsoft had when they gave Lionhead studios stupid projects like Fable Journeys and whatever Fable Legends was supposed to be, being good at one form of game design doesn't exactly mean those qualities shift to apply to others. The other point I'd argue for is stances, because, those do actually exist in Star Wars and this being the first game aside from KotoR to actually apply it, and in an actually meaningful way rather than just defensive/offensive is nice. Generally lightsaber masters focused on a single form, like Count Dooku was apparently an incredible master of Form 2, Anakin of Form 6 and Obi-Wan of Form 3. I think it's actually mentioned in the last game that Cal learnt a particular form from his master who learnt it from the actual teacher of the form in the Jedi Temple.

    Yet ANOTHER REASON to not buy triple A games on day 1. I play mainly on console so I'm glad Gamefly exists for renting regardless of if these problems were to happen or not. Which I've heard the ps5 version still has some of the same issues.

    The performance in the first game completely soured the experience for me. Looks like I will be waiting a long while to play this one.

    Strangely enough I had a similar issue with Jedi fallen order on my 5700xt. While playing within the limits of the card performance in that title was fine but I noticed changing graphics settings did little to nothing to help frame rate and only resolution really changed anything. While lowering resolution does do most of the work in helping with frame rates, I was able to make the game look like play doh at 1440p and the frame rate remained the same. Though I had fun with that title and the performance was ok for the most part. Just an odd realization seeing these results.

    25:20 I feel like some way to tie in stance switching better is to make intermediary attacks (similar to bloodborne's weapons) and allow for 4 stances to be equipped. For example, I have 1-2 (Right) and (Left) 3-4 binded to left and right respectively. If I attack, and then stance switch by hitting another button, it does a special move. If I switch back, it does the final combo attack as if I just did the normal string. Maybe if I double pressed my left dpad, it'd switch from 2 -> 1, or as an accessibility feature (or hell, a way to equip 6 total stances!), holding the dpad button switches from 3 -> 4 (maybe 3 -> 6 if both hold and double press can somehow work together?) Just throwing some ideas.

    Im curious,what kind of PCs do the developers make these games on? cos if they use what is available to the public,albeit on the higher end,they should be aware of these issues,right?
    And if this game runs well on consoles,why not pcs,which are usually more powerful?
