Star Wars Force Unleashed

Cavallino · 6 Dec 2009 at 22:48

I noticed some awesome pictars in the High Res Pictar thread of this game.

Just wanted to know what the difference is between the SW Force Unleashed and the so called Ultimate Sith Edition?

I dont want to start a flame war, but having a PS3 and PC I do have a choice of platform. Can I assume the PC version looks superior? Or is it the same as the PC version but the option to use AF and AA ofcourse?

Thank you in advance

PS3/360 -> PC bad port presumably?
In what way may I ask?

I know one thing, mouse and keyboard are awful. Delay and just don't feel right

yep.

it did get slightly better when they patched in a single "high or low" Gfx option..

but there's not mouse support in menues etc :/

So you would recommend the console version over the PC it seems?
Im surprised to hear the mouse/keyboard combination is awful for such a game as I always thought 3rd person/1st person games with mouse/keyboard were better than joyapds?

yes, and they are if they're implemented by someone more skilful than a retarded monkey with a mallet.

*Chuckle*

Ok thanks for your feedback Tefal and all.

Don't let the comments from people who pirated it put you off its the best version on PC by far. Saying its a shocking port just because it lacks mouse support in the menus is quite frankly ludicrous & highly juvenille! Trust me, I bought it on PS3 then X360 then PC and PC is so much better looking as well as working very well on a mid range PC.

Its a multiplatform game designed around gamepads so you cannot let pirates mislead & misinfom you purely because it lacks mouse & KB in menus only which you spend all of a few seconds in per game :rolleyes:

Ah excellent, thanks for this AWPC. Will give it a good read.

wasd being bound to move the item you're moving with force powers along with the mouse doing the same thing however is a terrible port.

But yes your right it's great port because the utter horrific implementation of M&kb can be ignored by using a gamepad....

Even MW2 managed to get the mouse to function at least semi accurately.

Also physics objects are laughable, especially on that level at the start where you play as vader destroy those wooden arches or tree and they do break very nicely, only to glow and vanish within 5 seconds usually while still breaking....

And you keep saying I pirated it because I don't play it with a gamepad like it says i should, the main reason for this is not owning one and not wanting to buy one just to play one crap game.

AWPC does the game have mouse smoothing at all? I mean is the mouse/keyboard combination in the game playable? (say similar to tomb raider/GTA and most of your 3rd person perspective games?)

doodah · 7 Dec 2009 at 13:29

Can't you only change the resolution in GFX settings? Sounds shoddy if true, considering how large the install is!

reflux · 7 Dec 2009 at 13:32

Uh. What a total waste of an opportunity. Such a hollow shell of a game. It's boring to play, the graphics are pants and the controls are designed for toddlers.

When I think about how good the Jedi Knight series were, this doesn't even come within a thousand miles.

Regardless of platform it's still a forgetable, mediocre hack'n'slash. If you want to try it just rent it on console.

Unsure as its not designed for mouse + kb some of it can be tricky you really need a gamepad as certain parts require several controls at once so think anything other than mouse + kb will give you a headache.

It really literally is a 1:1 console port apart from the vastly superior graphics!

I keep saying you pirated it because you have not provided any proof otherwise and claim to have imported it from the US weeks ago. Yeah right like your going to pay ($83 last time I checked at current exchange rates) to physically import a game as you like it so much

Maybe in future do not boast about something you have pirated (which BTW in case you had'nt noticed is why PC gaming is in serious decline) & maybe do not give an opinion on the pirated incomplete & buggy version of a game to discourage others who may just want to buy it and give it a go as unlike many PC games it contains no online DRM to prevent you from selling legally once you have completed it.

Agree with this. Quite a disappointing game and it seems only AWPC likes it.

Tefal · 7 Dec 2009 at 17:45

I've never claimed to have imported it :/

I imported it from the US. It was $20 to buy, free shipping to my friend in America, then $15 to the UK. HTH and now you can go back to mis-leading people into getting this game.
