Microsoft How did you guys enjoy Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order?

[best3444]

I played it when it first came out. The problem was I was drinking heavily during that time period and remember absolutely nothing about it. How did you guys enjoy it and is it upgraded for the XSX?

[stepee]

I still wanna get back to it some day but yes it’s updated for XSX and 60fps.

[Mr.Vic20]

I enjoyed it a lot! The story is not mind blowing but the game play, the exploration of levels and the combat was all good in my book, and thanks to the license, draped in sounds and sights that make my inner child happy!

nail on the head! 
 

its an overall awesome game. The gameplay was excellent. 

[crispy4000]

Hoping Amazon gives this away soon.  Squadrons was already a freebie in October, and the EA deal is going for a few more months

[Brick]

It was good. Nothing more, nothing less. You'll enjoy it if you're a Star Wars fan. I'm looking forward to a sequel that can expand on everything. 

[skillzdadirecta]

It was pretty good and I believe it was enhanced for the series X not long ago. Solid story and great gameplay. It's a "Souls-lite" game... it's not insanely hard but it's not easy either.

[best3444]

Thank you for the responses guys. I will add this to my game list and buy it. I enjoy Star Wars and I like the idea Its kinda like a souls game.

It’s on EA Play which is part of Game Pass Ultimate. No need to buy it. 

[Keyser_Soze]

Locked at 4K 30 or 60fps in performance mode

 

 

I enjoyed it but never ended up finishing it. I think I'm maybe halfway through.

[JPDunks4]

I think it was my GotY 2019.  Great game, great exploration, combat, story.  Loved most everything about it.

[skillzdadirecta]

Pretty sure it was my GOTY that year too... or did Control come out that year? IF control came out in 2019 than THAT was my GOTY that year.

Control came out in 2019. Your GOTY.

[EternallDarkness]

I was so close to the end when I got sidetracked with something else. I really need to get back to it, but I think at this point I'd probably have to start all over again as I really can't remember much of it. 

[Mercury33]

Was one of my top 3 games the year it came out. The combat is really fun, implementation of force powers in a game in awhile. The story is fun enough to make

you want to keep going(the ending is awesome though). The biggest surprise to

me was the platforming. Going in I assumed it would be on a Tomb Raider/Uncharted level but it’s actually really really really good. And the more Powers you unlock the more fun it becomes. To the point where I was genuinely looking forward to the exploration and platforming parts. 

[Commissar SFLUFAN]

I enjoyed it VASTLY more than I thought I would!

 

It's definitely not on par with the Jedi Knight series, but it was a REALLY admirable first effort by Respawn!

It's quite fun, and better than I expected. As a Star Wars yarn it's pretty entertaining, even though you'll probably know the general gist of the ending almost as soon you start, assuming you're familiar with the lore. But the more contained beats are pretty good and it spends some time with some aspects of Star Wars that don't get explored in the movies, which is cool.

 

I think with a bit more spit and polish, and some honing of a couple rough edges, it could have been something really special, but as it is, it's still really fun and worth playing through, especially if you have Game Pass.

 

Also I want a BD-1 for myself extremely badly.

[johnny]

It was really fun. One thing I hope for in the future is the lightsaber chopping limbs off in one hit. Don't get me wrong, the combat is fun, but I do wish all these people and robots that dont have weapons to block me would get chopped in half with one saber hit.

[gamer.tv]

I enjoyed it (especially the last ten minutes or so)

I don’t think they’re ever going to turn a Star Wars game into Dismemberment Simulator

[Spawn_of_Apathy]

I wasn’t a big fan of the combat. I get for gaming reasons and “challenge” they wanted things a certain way, but I found the combat annoying. I dropped it to easy and found the game much more enjoyable. Can you die, sure. But comparatively to the enemies, you feel more like somebody who’s had Jedi training using a power weapon, the lightsaber. 
 

story was alright. I enjoyed exploring more of the lore. Going to 

Ilum

being my favorite part of the game. 
I liked the cast of characters, and look forward to the next game.

Probably not. But they could. In the movies they always show it as the lightsabers instantly cauterizing any wound, so it doesn’t need to look too gory.

Vader, Rey, Kylo, Finn and probably someone else I’m missing all take saber hits and don’t get dismembered.

 

But they’re not going to make a Star Wars game rated M, and even if there’d no blood, having a floor covered in Stormtrooper limbs / halves is going to be rated M.

well…Anakin lost an arm, Vader lost an arm and both legs and was then set on fire. 

 

Luke lost a hand. Dooku lost a head, as did Jango Fett, and some clone troopers. That guy in the cantina in A New Hope lost a bloody arm. 
 

the rest were more shallow blows. At least not so deep where enough of the blade was used to complete bisect them. Like getting caught by just the tip of the blade. I’m sure “plot armor” played a role though, as Qui Gon was done in by a simple impaling straight through. 
 

It might be M. If it would be it is only because the characters are human. The games already have cleaving droids in half, that are often portrayed to have both personality and consciousness. I do wonder where the line is on that for storm troopers. How it can be visualized where it could still get a T rating, if it could.

All of those people trimmings happened before Disney took the helm, I'm guessing Micky is less down with limb removal. Robots on the other hand don't seem to enjoy the mouse's favor.

@Keyser_Soze I watched the video and it seems like it still struggles to maintain 60fps on both machines. Better loading and some improved textures come into play, too. I'll definitely play it but my backlog is pretty full.

Obi Wan took like two saber hits from Dooku in Attack of the clones and just got some burns. Such a weird complaint about dismemberment in Star Wars games when that's never been a feature. I don't rememebr a whole lot of severed limbs in KOTOR and the games don't need it.

[Brick]

That was just the tip. Not the full thrusting power of the whole shaft.

So not only did the movie suck but apparently the light sabers did as well.

Ummm it's cited in other examples used in this thread too. Anakin and Jango both lost body parts in AOTC.

It's a pretty steady 60 with some dips in certain areas. I wouldn't say that is a struggle.

Tempted to get this in the EGS sale for $7.  I might not hold out for Amazon.
