      Yea also on controller. It’s not bad and at least some of the weapons have a sort of auto aim that makes the minor corrections although they do less damage. I used those till I got good enough to use the regular ones.

      Gameplay: Manageable but DON’T bother with VR or control sticks. Very inconsistent performance.
      Multiplayer: it’s alright. Two few modes. Fun with friends (most games), but no private matches a big hit
      Bugs: will be patched, not that big of an issue, beyond wonky hardware compatibility
      Price: Still too high for what you’re getting. Wait for it to go on sale for $20-$30

    Started playing this in VR. Wowsers, on stilts. To me it is incredible with a particular emphasis on visual and audio detail. In practice mode, you can stop and just listen. I spent the first hour just sitting and taking it all in. It's the closest I'll ever gate to space! Downside: flying isn't easy. Upside: flying, in space, in an X Wing.

      This game is nowhere near Elite... this game has forward thrust, pitch, yaw, roll and that’s it. Elite has forward/reverse thrusters, vertical thrusters, lateral thrusters...no comparison. Elite allows full controller customization (with button combos) so you can actually use a controller just fine. Squadrons allows custom controls (so that’s good) but not button combos.

    While the mouse and keyboard feels easier to use right when you get it into your hands, I find that *I* tend to overshoot my targets a lot and spin around uncontrollably trying to fix on a target.
    In short I found my performance after a bit of practice, getting used the the controls and such with the controller to go up.

    I know there were a lot of issues with the game around it, but I was a huge fan of the star fighter mechanic in Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed. The ability to completely build your own craft , manage your own power distribution, and add a droid for added support was really engaging. You could even use jumping to hyperspace during combat to get you out of tough spots, which was an incredible level of immersion to me at the time. I never leveled up enough to fly the YT-1300 because I wasn't a huge fan of the ground based game, but the customization and feeling of freedom in the flight part still stands out for me as one of the best.

    My only gripe and I mean it’s trivial. I wish it would alert the enemy when we are locking onto them, only because you will get the people who will then prematurely fire their counter measures thus allowing us to fire a missile and not have a big countered. This was a thing in Battlefield 4 where you’d lock on to someone and they would deploy flares early thus allowing you to fire a heat seeker without them being able to deploy more flares in time. Small gripe. Not a huge deal. Loving this so far.

    Bruh. The dev's highly recommended a controller for this game because controllerslikely have a huge advantage in this game.

    I know some people are having a few issues , but I must of gotten lucky , playing with duel Joysticks this game is amazing . Every I was hoping for a more , the gameplay is deep and there is a bit of a learning curve , but this only adds to the longevity . Amazing 10/10

    @clcbc97 3 года назад +1

    Yeah before i bought it i should have researched it because playing this in single player mode is difficult. Can’t get through mission 3 and i just believe it is because this game just seems to be better and easier if you play multiplayer where you have an online team to help you through the mission. Unfortunately i don’t play online i prefer to play single player games as just that single player by myself.
