    Can I just say how pleased I was to see a proper crouch and jumping mechanic in a FPS, there are quite a few times when you have to jump around like in Half life and you must be accurate in your jump timing or you will fall. It really feels good when you nail them jumps and complete a section, I noticed a few reviewers hating this mechanic, one called them frustrating FPS platformer levels...well all I can say to that it you play too many shitty AAA games where jumping is as simple as turning up and pressing a button :) This is proper old school jumping and it's great.

      Yeah. Fallen Order does great at looking like Star Wars. And even the writing and story feels decently like Star Wars (certainly magnitudes more than the Disney films which are glorified and terrible fan fiction writing). But it's gameplay is ripped pure from Sekiro (while making it easier).
      I love Sekiro's combat. And I liked FO overall. But it never really creates a combat system that is uniquely Jedi-like. It's Sekiro-lite with a Star Wars skin. And the problem with FO's success is we're probably increasingly unlikely to ever see a proper sequel to Jedi Outcast/Academy. Games that had an original combat system that really did feel specifically like Jedi combat as much as any game has ever accomplished.

Well, I think that it is completely stupid to not have a FOV slider for PC games, but is this a reason to damn a game to hell? And about the 'too hard' thing, well, I don't like bullet hell shooters and roguelikes, because they are usually too hard for me and no fun at all. And guess what, I appreciate that and why a lot of people absolutely love those kinds of games and... then go and play something different.

    • @evulclown
      @evulclown Год назад +1

      Morality of the companies funding / sketchy policies with giving user data to the Russian intelligence services I think unfortunately gameplay wise it seems a lot is unfinished due to entire development teams being underpaid and kicked, followed by a new team which has absolutely impacted on the game in a negative way. Gameplay is very shallow, has a lot of tedious aspects, is not close to finished play wise, has a plethora of bugs etc.
      The aesthetic style is nice but that's where it stops and I think with the head of the final team coming from a marketing background they may have been guiding the game to look good instead of being good to play. Considering the price tag for this game, it's not even close to worth it, maybe if you caught a sale for 75% off in a couple of years if they've actually fixed and finished it.

      @Thrawn7th2791 Год назад

      @@evulclown Yes, I did indeed run into a couple bugs main ones being Audio, text, and couple of game bugs such as getting stuck in world object or whatever. I personally enjoyed the combat, felt nice to get to a point where you felt almost god like. My dislike for the combat was, Stealth really isnt possible as you get detected too easily (imo) and certain weapons were just pointless or not needed (especially in boss fights). Turn up pull out the biggest gun and few dodges and clicks and boom boss dead (seemed disappointing). Overall tho, did enjoy the look and feel of the game universe, sometimes the voice acting really tore me outta the moment because of how bad they were and a fair amount of audio didnt sync correctly with cutscenes (kinda strange).

    I'll say this. his bit about xray vision isn't totally accurate. I'm well into midgame and i've rarely used the glove scanner thing. most of the time i forget it's there, not needed. Even the few times i did use it didn't understand it, figured it out on my own. The rave music in the puzzle dungeons (testing grounds) has been my favorite.

  • @XxWolfxWaRioRxX
    @XxWolfxWaRioRxX Год назад +7

    It's good to see you finally say why x Ray vision is useful but I agree it shouldn't show enemies unless you tell it to, having the vision mode to find loot and explore is fine but that's all it should be used for

    • @Rodrigo-bz4xt
      @Rodrigo-bz4xt Год назад +1

      Maybe some enemies can have an augmentation that makes them invisible to your x ray vision (not trash mobs), and some even more elite enemies can even jam your x ray vision so that it gets disabled completely for a time.

    • @logiclunacy606
      @logiclunacy606 Год назад +2

      X Ray vision takes away the uncertainty when you're trying to stealth around, it might make it more accessible but there's part of risk reward thought process that is taken away. I don't think Mack would care as much if it wasn't used for the majority of games that use stealth.
