Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor

Cool!   Thanks for the reply....I'm gonna have to try that for sure once I get the Jedi Flip aka double-jump ability

So I'm approaching Dathomir now, just after my second time on Kashyyyk finding Tarrful....and during the trip to Dathomir Cere mentions that the Night Sisters were betrayed by a Sith Lord during the Clone Wars.....Whom is she referring to exactly? Count Dooku/Darth Tyrranus? Darth Maul? (I never really followed the CLONE WARS series in order enough to really know the ins/outs of it all).

I've always wondered who she was talking about.

Is this game actually worth getting if you are a BIG Star Wars fan?

I know its a platformer with the occasional QTE and big influence from Dark Souls...which is already like strike 2 and a half. ...but does the game at least let you save whenever you want?

I thought not. Ah well it'll be 19.99 or on the PSP eventually.

I don't mind linearity per se.  I mean each time I replay all the DA or ME games its usually as a character I have already played like a half dozen times and just do the same things I do every time lol.  Its just twenty years of gaming taste has made me realize A. I don't like platformers/ platforming puzzle games B. I don't like QTEs and C. Games that don't let you save, unless there is a really good reason for it (like time limits), really drive me up the wall.  Or games that decide when you saved.  

I just have a hankering for a good SP story SWs adventure and its the only one that fits the bill right now but it literally has all my hated GP tropes. lol.  

Hopefully the rumors that they are rebooting/ remastering KOTOR end up being true...

Edit:  Its also REALLY annoying that I don't think there is any games that I want to buy right now with my Bday right around the corner which is usually when I get a new game to keep me occupied.  That and around the Christmas season.

Yeah not being able to asv ewhen we like can be a bit of a draw back yeah the only good thin gthough is the checkpointts aren't too far apart so it doesn' t take long to normally get to the next one. But yeah I think moer people shjould take a cue from how Bioware do it in that generally unles syou're in a middle of a fight you can pretty much save whenever you like.

I haven't even finished JFO once yet. I ma ygive it another try on my nwe system eventually but atm I haven' t even got it installed. Still bus yjus tgetting the games I play most up and running atm really. Currently working my way through the ME trilogy and working through ME2's Overlord DLC atm as I'm going to be going through all the ME games MEA included as I wantto see how it performs on my new system. I'll likel ybe doin ga run of DA as well eventually just not yet although I do have characters in mind. Lookin forward MEA FIFA qand my NFS Heat gam eas I'm curious t osee how my Frostbite games handle in general as well.

Just finished playing through Jedi Fallen Order again....and still, I come away with an extremely satisfied feeling. Every time I've played it now from start to finish, I have come away feeling/thinking, "what a great game. The best STAR WARS experience I've had since KOTOR and Jedi Knight before it. Definitely one of my favourite games. And no matter how many time I play through it, I don't seem to get bored of it. The combat, the characters, the gameplay/level design, the environments are stunning.... Speaking about my experience on a high-end PC, I can honestly say there is nothing that I don't like about the game. At first, I thought the whole idea of back tracking was a bit tedious and frustrating....But the more I've played the game, I've even come to enjoy that aspect of it.

Along with the Dark Forces series, KOTOR 1 and 2 and the ME OT.....I would put this on my list of PC games that simply have to be played. If you're a fan of engaging game-play mechanics, fun combat and a good story...And especially if you are a fan of STAR WARS, this is a game that should not be missed.

That's a sweet rig, SJ.   I'm running a nearly four year old Intel 6850K (also six cores @ 3.6 Ghz per core) and a GTX 1080 FTW 2.    My dad has an 8700K with an RTX 2080 (he runs at 4K 60 hz, I run mine at 1440p also 60 hz) and there is virtually no difference between them from what I can see.  In fact, I don't know why....but I think Fallen Order even DAI and ANTHEM look and play better on my system than his.

When I upgraded back in 2016 from a Haswell Intel 4770 to the 6850K, I did so because I had 2 GTX 980s and 2 x16 PCIE slots on my board that I really wanted to be able to take advantage of. I bought the 6850K because it had 40 PCI-E lanes which would allow me to run everything optimally as an SLI configuration.  Then a few months later I sold the pair of 980s for 700 CDN to pay for the 1080 FTW2 which I ordered online from the US because it wasn't available in Canada at the time....and that was just before Andromeda came out.  I didn't want to get the game and not be able to play it because I didn't have a video card after I'd sold my two 980s, so I jumped the gun and paid about 1150 CDN when all was said and done.  Then about 5 weeks later it arrived in Canada and was selling for 900 and something.  I was not happy; I learned a hard lesson that day-- don't order anything PC related from the US.  Whatever I'm looking for will eventually come available here in Canada and it will be cheaper to buy it here than pay conversion, duty, taxes, shipping etc.

 Still this X99 based platform I've built has been very stable, rock solid and extremely versatile even though I paid quite a pretty penny and a few bags of nickels for it.  There hasn't been a game yet that I haven't been able to play at even above 60 FPS; my only limitation is the 60hz (and no gsync) on the monitor.

I suspect I won't need to upgrade for quite a while....but temptation is always there, for sure.

I'm glad you're enjoying your new system, buddy. I'm sure you'll get a lot of years out of it before a true 'upgrade' is needed. Interesting....I thought it was only the 9900 series that were eight core CPUs, I didn't know the 97s were as well. Very cool. I hope you enjoy your system and have a lot of success with it for years to come.
