Personally I am indifferent to it, it's not going to be some throwback to the era of countless of Star Wars Spinoffs but a sterile additions to Disney's Star Wars line on genres they haven't done yet
Disney is ending the partnership with EA on SW games, BUT.......
- Thread starter FakeSympathy
- Start date
Only to be expected. Disney would never give the license to some plucky up-and-comer with bold new ideas. If it wasn't Ubisoft, it would've been Activision, or 2K, or some other major player (well, obviously not Warner). Expect a safe grabbag of everything popular Ubisoft open world game with a Star Wars veneer. Possibly GaaS, probably multiplayer, definitely monetized up the ass.
Has a studio ever been firebombed? Fans may get angry and capital G Gamer may throw some inane rant online as a pity party, but from what we see from the lootbox scandal there wasn't indignant retribution on EA. Just impotent anger online as older generations grow to accept their powerlessness at fighting bad industry practices
In general terms, its fun but shorter than you would hope - like most current VR games. Either its the memory required for them, or just an unwillingness to fully commit to a game system where you're still learning how to communicate controls effectively, particularly where competing options have differing controllers and such that make a standardized control system difficult.
The control system isn't as deep as something like Elite Dangerous for instance, but the fact is that I don't really want to try to use Oculus controllers to flya Python without my nice familiar keyboard shortcuts anyway. Too much crap to keep track of.
I think the issue is that the things they try are not being tried because they're new, rather, because they wanna turn SW into something specific, but they're just using the fact that they're new as a shield from criticism.
Trust me, if they took SW and gave it to cyberconnect 2 and had them make a game like Asura's Wrath based on it, a super over the top, animelike macho ode to hype, replete with bathing scenes and planets being punched in the face, people would love the fuck out of that, despite being new.
Say "No XP boosters!", then add them a month after launch in a patch, all sneaky like. Brilliant!
I've heard other people say the same thing. It's possible that the devs designed the game without XP boosters in mind and someone in sales forced the issue after the leveling curve was already in place, thus the reason why the Booster feels so pointless.
Yeah the level of progression was one of the few issues I had with Ghost of Tsushima. It felt very fast. And if you did all the side content, which, I mean why wouldn't you? They were really cool mini-stories with the supporting cast, you would end up with more talent points than you had things to buy, roughly around the START of act 3. So yeah, I think there are some issues in the current generation of XP/Leveling games, when it comes to balancing difficulty with progression.
I seem to recall a similar thing with AC:Odyssey, that I never really felt out classed by anyone, except for the various bounty hunters that could vary WILDLY in level. Other than that, even going against higher level people, as an assassin build, it wasn't too hard to take them down quick with the right abilities and gear.

At this point, I wouldn't want Bioware invovled in KOTOR. They need to prove they can fix their mistakes with Mass Effect before I want to see them do another SW game.Guys, there is also a rumor regarding KOTOR remake in the works, but EA and Bioware aren't involved in it
