Alas! in my skull
Mine is coming tomorrow. I own first gen elite which is great (a pair of AA eneloops inside one of the highlights - the other pair in reserve) but wanted to try something else. Elite has four back triggers that you can map to buttons and then use right stick and buttons at the same time which feels like cheating sometimes.

I also want to get the game as I used to love EU stuff and it supposedly delivers in this regard. I hope there's a sale soon or I'll venture to the seas.

FINALLY, a proper Sekiro-like fight:



This is what this game really needed. Not even that many just a few more to break the monotomy of all those stupid beasts.

Malicos was a pretty cool character, too bad the witch sucked. Also, the voice acting when you talk to her after the fight was atrocious. CLEARLY not the same actress. She sounds like Mathesar from Galaxy Quest. They went all out with cinematics and real actors but apparently they had to cut corners a few times.

Whether you buy it from Aliexpress, Temu, Amazon, or Maxgaming it doesn't matter, Gamesir has partnership with all of them. Just pick the one that has the cheapest delivery.

It was more what if i get a dud from Aliexpress. I ordered from there before but shady site is shady.

Just to test my luck i decided to try it out. Found an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wukong Edition (the Chinese candy colors on the regular version are faggy lel) for like 26 euros. Let's see what i'm gonna get lmao.

My biggest gripe with this game (and the sequel) is the shoddy animation work, which results in messy combat because of poorly telegraphed attacks. Playing on the highest difficulty is frustrating when it should be satisfying to overcome a challenging boss. Even their best fights don't come even close to the weakest ones in Sekiro because of the jank. Western devs just can't develop good combat.

Maybe i should have mentioned i've been tempering my expectations since this is a failstream game, so i wasn't expecting it to be even remotely close to anything by FromSoft. What i said about Malicos applies to the problem we were discussing earlier, about the game lacking in cool bosses. For like an eternity you are subject to beasts and animals.

As for the jank, it's there but it's not impossible to get a sense of what the timings are.

Anyway, by God the witch is now tagging along and ALL the dialogue is now terrible. WTF is this can i kick her out of an airlock?

You mean in the sequel, right? Because i'm pretty sure this game is close to done.

To be honest i'm amazed the game held out so long before the writers shit the bed. The story was bland but inoffensive, and i wasn't hating it until now. Hell i didn't even hate the ugly negress which is impressive.

It's like for a time i was transported back to a run of the mill mid-2000 game but the game snapped back into current year at the last minute.

Well, not meet as in meet for the very first time. Actually not meet at all since you encounter Ceres quite early on. But anyway, wait til you get to the sections where Ceres is more... involved shall we say. And yes I'm talking about the sequel.

Oh woops didn't realise this thread was for the older game. Yeah the first one isn't anywhere near as bad, although there's one scene that is quite obnoxious.

The stupid bitch is now questioning the mission to rebuild the order. Worst character in the game, tags along at the very last second for no particular reason.

Vader's presence sucked in Rogue One as well. I don't understand the fanboy mind. I mean, I love Star Wars too, yet find the fanservice insufferable.

Nah, Vader in R1 added context to the beginning of ANH.

I just learned the other day that Saw Gurrera character is from Rogue One. I think this was likely Disney just telling Respawn they had to tie the game to the movie.

It's still stupid though.

Probably Filoni, Saw was in the clone wars animated series before Rogue One. Much of the game areas are based on Filoni's stuff like the Darth Maul homeworld in the first one.

Well, i'm done with the game. Lmao so Cal destroys the Holocron like WTF. Muh children what is this bullshit. So that's why there were no Jedi left at the time of the original trilogy Cal was a retard and didn't recreate the order.

Anyway, i can now uninstall the 50GB lol. Not that terrible for five bucks, but i doubt i'll ever play this again.

Also around this time Disney was pushing their Clone Wars cartoons and spin offs. In Solo, they had the original Darth Maul voice actor (Peter Serafinowicz) record his lines, only to replace him last minute with the animated voice actor (Sam Witwer). This would have been like hiring the guy that impersonates James Earl Jones' voice on TV and video games instead of the man himself - completely baffling move by Disney.
