Could have been so much better if you could fast travel between mediation points of you could set waypoints and guide you to where you want to go once unlocked or previously visited.

I thought you could? It’s certainly looking like you can in Survivor (I haven’t pressed the button yet).

You can’t in the first game. I’m also playing it through.

Why I stopped playing the first and have no interest in this... the backtracking was horrible.

Would have been fine with a better map..but no they messed that up too.

Yeah.. I’m just about to finish up the first three planets, and I feel like I’ve seen enough. Wish it was just a traditional hack and slash like older titles, rather than a soulslike. I don’t think it does the game any favours honestly.

I so wanted to like the first as I’ve been a big fan of what Respawn have done in the past but I thought it was all a bit dull. Shame.

Just give us Titanfall 3 already.

Performance aside I’m really enjoying this. Just a shame performance is so variable.

The Force powers are very enjoyable to use.

Also, walking into an area you’re not supposed to be in yet and getting your arse kicked

I can see why Digital Foundry were not given review code from the latest PS5 version video. Drops to 720p upscaled badly to 1440p to maintain near 30fps in quality mode. I’m sure S/X is the same from what I have seen so far. The game really was not anywhere near finished and should not have been released but it’s EA so no surprises really.

I'm still playing the first one and tbh it's a poor mans assassins creed. Combat is nowhere near as free flowing as AC but it's a reasonable game. Could have been so much better if you could fast travel between mediation points of you could set waypoints and guide you to where you want to go once unlocked or previously visited. Lost count of the number of times I've come back a few days later and gotten completely lost. Some parts are incredibly frustrating just to make it back to the ship.

If the 2nd game follows that same format I can wait a year or so before I even bother doing this again.

I believe you can fast travel in the new one. Agree with you though, first wasn't great and I couldn't be bothered to finish it off although I played it on gamepass so didn't feel like I needed to. Having a lightsaber is cool but it can't carry a pretty average game.

I find it a bit strange that you can slice the local fauna in half, but the troopers you can’t? Not that I’ve seen anyway

Watched the Digitalfoundry analysis for this game and they said the PS5 version in performance mode sometimes drops below 720p :eek:

Seems that this really should have been delayed by a few months.

It shows too. Go to the first large open area and it stutters like crazy with barely any textures loaded in. Ended up with a headache. Enclosed areas are fine. They have some work to do.

You can see the resolution changes at times it goes fuzzy then clears up a bit. It’s really badly optimised.

CaptainRAVE · 1 May 2023 at 15:53

Hopefully the incoming patch helps.

Is the difficulty all over the place with this one ? I didn't gel with the 1st game for that reason. I also found the level design very frustrating with a huge amount of backtracking. I normally don't mind metroidvania style games, but Fallen Order took it to the nth degree.

So far no backtracking (lots more shortcuts and unique ways of getting back, plus fast travel I think, but haven’t used that yet) and difficulty has been more consistent, finding it easier so far - playing the same difficulty as the first.

Had my first random crash back to Xbox home. The

gardening

was obviously too taxing. Dumped me ******* miles from where I was and had to re-do a load of stuff.

Played a lot of this over the weekend and I have to say performance aside they have created a very enjoyable game to play. It’s huge as well, so many areas and bits to collect.
