Do not go to Dathomir until you've finished two more planets. You could get stuck and have to restart the whole game. Yes, this is a bug EA is trying to fix but its not coming anytime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I unlocked Zeffo and Dathomir now and am heading back to the ship; I will definitely delay going to Dathomir for as long as it's possible... Wall running is so cool by the way!

Wait till the more fun skills unlock. There's one in particular that I just love abusing and I actually spend 20 minutes trying to put enemies in very hard positions when I learned it just because I could (Force Push btw). I literally would wait for them to jump and push them into ravines on Zeffo. What level are you playing it at? I'm at Jedi Grand Master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at Jedi Grand Master I started with the easiest story mode because I'm a noob at this kind of games but changed to Jedi Knight in the meantime as the combat in the story mode was too easy even for me I unlocked Force Push yesterday right before I went to bed! Haven't experimented with it much though yet... Have you finished the game already??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't experimented with it much though yet... Have you finished the game already??? Im more than midway through. After a while combat becomes predictable and once you start going up the skill tree and spending more time on the combat unlocks things start to get much much easier in bigger combat groups. Spending time on parrying and always running is something that makes a lot of sense when you've got projectile-based enemies just because you can get a skill in the tree that allows Cal to auto-reflect projectiles in run mode. I won't spoil the combat upgrade but lets just say it gets very cool once you get a bit further in the tree especially for crowd control.

As someone who's mostly interested in how the story develops, I'm personally not bothered if the combat becomes predictable/too easy... Haven't got a chance to play today yet as the end of the year means getting my work's financial accounts sorted so I spent most of the time today creating invoices retrospectively from March Ugh I hate bookkeeping.

Can't wait to go back to the game... There are parts of this game that are terribly annoying and rewarding at the same time and I am the kind of person that spends way too much time exploring zones and leveling up versus just rushing through things so I take my time to see if I am missing anything. Having said that, when I look back on how I played through it now I wish I had spend less time on actual combat upgrades and more time on increasing metas that let me use force and my vitality more. The story is quite nice and I like how they've brought it in characters from all the SW movie franchises too which is a nice touch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy exploring as well (though don't particularly care about getting 100% in all places) but I must say some areas are a bit meh to explore after a while... and Zeffo definitely has quite a few of them. I enjoyed it at first but after getting to the tomb and unlocking Kashyyyk (and somehow solving that spheres puzzle haha) the rest of the tomb is getting a bit tedious; maybe mostly because everything looks so repetitive there. Still can't stand the holomap; it feels way too cluttered and hard to read for me. Those are just my minor personal issues with the game but I still think it's great!

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted November 27, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted November 27, 2019 Done with Fallen Order. Good ride it's been and I have to say I am a fan of the battle system just because it allows you to attack opponents in a myriad of ways and the force-charge is a nice feature to adopt in combat. Mastering parry and side-step/evade is a total boon on higher levels because even the hardest of enemies can be beaten safely once you get these two under your belt. I think EA have done this game some good justice and its definitely much better than I originally anticipated. Now, give us a game where I can choose my force path (like KOTOR) and they may actually have a GOTY on their hands. I'll spend some time running about and finishing planet exploration till the end of the week before it finds its way into the archive folder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panflute 670 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Latest content update for Elder Scrolls Online is really good. The biggest new city looks like some run-down South-East Asian town with remnants of past glory everywhere to be seen, and the story content is very good by both MMO and Elder Scrolls standards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted November 29, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted November 29, 2019 Its Nintendo appreciation month for me so I went out and got two games for my Switch as I figure if I am travelling might as well play some fun titles. Picked up Luigi's Mansion 3 and Astral Chain for the Switch. Haven't really started the Luigi game but Astral Chain so far has been rather good. If you've got a Switch and like Bayonetta style mechanics give it a look into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) For anyone interested, Rayman Legends is currently free on the Epic Game Store. Though the game is fairly old, I'd strongly recommend playing this if you like 2D platformers. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-11-29-rayman-legends-is-currently-free-on-the-epic-store Edited November 30, 2019 by Bluebird Hewitt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panflute 670 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I bought Crysis and Crysis Warhead again on Steam sale for 5 euros. It's amazing how a 12-year-old game holds up so well, both in terms of looks and gameplay. I seriously enjoy playing this much more than recent Far Cry games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one is a masterpiece imo and even today it puts a lot of machines through the gauntlet. My favorite part of the first one is how you can fast switch abilities in combat and it was so fluid too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,185 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I've been playing Pokémon Shield - it's the first Pokémon game I've played since the red one on the Gameboy. My wife's playing Pokémon sword, I spent all yesterday doing the beginning 5 fucking times so we could trade and have all the starters.

Granted, I saw just a couple of good review scores and thought "fuck it, I've got a Switch - my wife's got a Switch. Let's play some fucking Pokémon." So far it seems pretty cool, but I haven't really done anything past getting to where we're allowed to trade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this is your first one since Red though, it can feel much more daunting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capcom might be thinking that it's not quite time to look at that just yet. As for RE3, it'll be interesting to see how they pull this off as they could have arguably set the stage for this with the Mr. X scenarios from the RE2 remake. Nemesis was supposed to be an unstoppable monster and always hunting you down after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they made it more random it would make it even more fun like Mr. X in the RE2:REMAKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
