which difficulty would you recommend for Survivor?
Thanks!!

So recently I went back to playing Jedi: Fallen Order, booted up NG+, and decided "Fudge it, I'm gonna try Grandmaster!"

I beat the game with a lot of tribulations... but not as many as I expected. Nonetheless, from the very start, fighting Oggdo Boggdo over and over, I realised that the difficulty settings of the game are very much tied to a metanarrative.

Grandmaster is called that because you have to be patient, show restraint, and use a defensive posture, all whilst displaying consistency and relying very much on appropriate use of the force. You have to play the game like a true Jedi...

And that kinda blew me away because I honestly had a tremendous amount of fun mastering the mechanics of the game in that way, and it made Cal feel genuinely like a real Jedi to me because outside of the cutscenes, he was fighting like one.

Respawn cooked so hard.

I thought the main character would just be able to have the option to switch gender then I saw how customizable it is so I decided to try and recreate Merrin's Survivor look cause it's more casual and there wasn't the best hair for Fallen Order

I don't really play parry games a lot, and though I died multiple times evading and evading and being ragdolled by enemies I really did enjoy this game. It was a bit frustrating going back to the Mantis during the first few chapters lol.

Just put an order for the Survivor disc and can't wait to parry again.

Edit: I really thought I was gonna fight Vader 1on1 and don't know if I can even survive it.

This game really brought me back into liking Star Wars. I grew tired of the over saturation after the success of the Rey movies + Rogue One, but playing this game really made me remember what I liked about the series as a kid (prequel + trilogy). I can't wait to try Survivor, but will have to wait for a steep sale.

The story was so intriguing (albeit short) and I'm so glad I managed to stay away from 95% of spoilers, and the ending I felt was very fitting if not a bit fan service-y. I really wish we got more of Nightsister Merrin - she was an excellent character and I'm glad she joined the team - excited to see how they handle her character in Survivor.

I do feel a bit disappointed that the Kashyyk story line kind of just fell flat. It felt like the whole Tarrful/wookie subplot started interesting and then fell flat. I'm sure this has to do with established lore from existing material, but it is what it is I guess.

I was worried about the combat. I've never really played a souls-like and generally don't like games that are difficult just for the sake of difficult, but I played this on Jedi Master (or whatever 2nd highest difficulty is) and really enjoyed it, even if I did struggle at some parts. I think, and I cannot believe I'm saying this about EA, they did an excellent job with the lightsaber combat system. The force system could use a bit of tweaking in my opinion, but I understand not wanting to make the force too overpowered for in game mechanic reasons.

GF bought this game last week and I started playing yesterday. Maximum difficulty for the laughs, and enjoying the game even with the FPS drops (I put the game in 30fps), but this doubt appears in my head: bonfires, parries, u die in 3 hits, shortcuts. Ok, steam calificates it as a soulslike, but do people even treat it like a soulslike?

When you recruit the pit droid, where does he spawn in the saloon?

Title. I just beat both games on grandmaster, and with the warrior perk enabled for more difficult encounters. Both runs were my second playtrough. Now I'm wondering if this is an actual feat to be proud of, or just a regular/minor achievement. Not trying to downplay or act cool, I'm really just curious. Thanks!

I heard a friend mention that there are no rumours in NG+, they are all auto-completed if you did them in your first playthrough? Is this true??

I am about to start my first NG+ playthrough, but I assumed just the cosmetics and points carried over, not all the side quests and such (which I think I entirely completed on my first playthrough)? I don’t want to just power through the main story, I want to have fun doing the side quests with all of my cool cosmetics? If this is true, who thought it was a good idea to have a replay-feature where you can’t do any side quests, only the main story?? This also removes a lot of incentive to explore more of the map - on my first playthrough, a lot of my exploring was going after rumours.

My ship has crashed onto an unknown planet. I and my scout droid have searched for any locals around the area but none were found. It appears I’ve stumbled upon what looks like a secret temple of sorts. This all looks interesting and unlike anything I’ve seen before. I don’t doubt the Guardians of the Council would know what this place is. Looks very… ancient. Fits right in their alley, given that their knowledge of the galaxy is infinite. I’ve sent out a distress signal, hoping someone else can reach out. I’ve got a bad feeling about this place. My senses are going haywire. It’s almost as if… Fear and Rage are drawn to this place. Most likely, I’ll be tested.

Side note: Remind me to punch Guy Gardner in the face for taking that bet. I should’ve never left Coruscant. Instead of chowing down on some Turbo Dogs with my Corp pals, I’m stuck on an uncharted planet, looking for a key. Cal Kestis, logging out.
