In an alternate universe I just got a 10 kill streak with Ahsoka on the Siege of Mandalore map in Battlefront III. Star Wars Eclipse is coming out in a few months, and gameplay demos show that it looks every bit as good as the trailer.

Do be fair, I think that Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor are some of the best Star Wars games ever made, maybe a tier behind the icons like BF2, Kotor, and Tie Fighter, but not that far and in hindsight I wouldn't be surprised if it's up there with them.

Respawn are really great devs that know how to nail fluidly, difficulty, and just all the little details that make all their games a blast.

I really liked Fallen Order. I kind of forgot about Survivor. Need to make a note to watch for it to be on sale.

It's also on EA Play / Gamepass Ultimate if you're eyeing either of those or other stuff on them.

Nah, I already have Steam. I'm not installing another launcher.

Playing the SW 1313 remake too.

What gameplay demos??

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I'd link them for you, but I'm too busy playing the new 501st spinoff of Republic Commando. It's pretty badass; you customize a squad of troopers and follow them through training on Kamino, through the Clone Wars, and even Order 66 and the Bad Batch era. It's not just action; there are meaningful story choices you have to make as you struggle with your loyalty to the Republic and General Skywalker, vs the growing realization that something is wrong with the clones. It's really well-written and voice acted with a mature story.

Have you tried the new Rogue Squadron?

My favorite addition is the galaxy liberation mode where you support systems to gain their favor and spend that favor for localized support and ship research.

My Zyphor spec A-Wing has a surprise twin linked rail gun mounted underneath for CAS missions

This is the most depressing thread I've read in a while.
