Yup, Star Wars games are finally good again
>tacticsslopDon't care, give me Jedi/KOTOR 3 already.
good sleep aid that is
Game hardly runs on my PC l, so I'm playing Star Wars Galaxies.
>>746540908This only has 78% on Steam. Is it a bad port? That is kind of low. I usually don't play any games below 90%.
>>746541691Apparently a lot of people have been running into technical issues, but I haven't played it myself.
How long did the Empire even last for, like 20 years? There's no way you can see that as Sheev's victory in the Clone Wars. Both sides were utterly destroyed.
>>746541924yeah its kinda comical how the republic was around for 1000 fucking years and the empire takes over for a mere 20 and yet it defines the entire setting
>>746541691It's apparently buggy though I haven't bumped into anything yet. Performance is pretty bad considering how it looks. Maxed out my 9800x3d and 4090 can't get above 70fps at 1440p UW without framegen. Framerate doesn't bother me in a turn based game but the stuttering does. Having good fun but I couldn't blame anyone for waiting for patches.
can this run on a 3060 12gb + i5 11400f
>>746541924Look, Star Wars timelines make no sense. By all accounts the Empire has been around for centuries, so long nobody even remembers the Republic, but they set it close so they could stick memberberries in the prequels. Just think of it as eras.
>>746542072what the absolute fuck is wrong with modern devs?
>>746542072Anon, that GPU is nearly 4 years old.
>>746542142it can run, not well though
>>746540908>Post number>Not posting gameplay>Yup the game is goodWhat does this mean
>>746542142It's been fine on my 3060ti. I don't have all the settings maxed out though.
>>746542142Ive got a shitbox that runs fine at 1080p I have no clue what causes the terrible performance for some
>>746542142Its been fine on my 3060 though i have had a few freezes requiring the game to be killed in task manager and restarted. Im not sure if its cause i was playing multiple hours and theres a memory leak or if its some other bug.
Overwatch is weird. you get 1 shot per AP, but only 1 per enemy. On my last round I set 3 different characters on overwatch for the last NPC, But only 2 of them shot. The last one 100% had the enemy in view. Very weird. Was it because the first missed, so the second shot because he was still moving? So can you not hit 1 target with multiple overwatches? Or did my game just glitch?
>>746544512overwatch in general seems pretty buggy, I've multiple times seen an enemy run through an overwatch zone and go ignoredI also dont understand why or why it sometimes cancels the enemy movement
>>746540908Marketing general.
>>746541924>>746542226The problem is that 19 years between prequels and sequels is just.. fucking retarded.>Jedi are an ancient myth, a legend. Stories your grandpa told you, that you never really believed.Nigger 20 years ago, they were god damn everywhere, It's like telling someone The World Trade Center was a myth, a legend. Something that only old cooks believe in. Naaah fucker, we remember it. also: the prequels and clone wars are like, FULL of recorded footage of jedis fighting, lmao.
Uh, if I go for the coil upgrade will I get fucked and lose my padawan learner.The operation 'Hot Property' prior to the assault on Luunata is at 2 ticks so that's probably gonna fire the mission after.I already did mr freeze's mission so at least that's outside. But I feel like cycle 23-25 is a ripe time to fuck up scheduling and have companions leave in a huff
>>746541082KotOR 3 by Larian would be kino.
>>746544720>The Back Street Boys...that is a name I have not heard in a very long time
>I'm not a deserter! I got a good and honest medical discharge, can't fight any more!>anyway, I'm now fighting in this fellas private combat force as a mercenary. Yeah mostly doing fighting, combat, shooting at people, being on battlefields, that sorta stuff.So he's a deserter, right? Because clearly he's NOT medically unfit to serve.
>>746541791You can tell the game was rushed out the door way too early, but it's still ok.
>>746544836Also things that were big 20 years ago:>myspace>kazaa>Snakes on a Plane>Crazy Frog
Are the missions all set or is it more randomly generated like XCOM?
>>746544847Given the fact your local Republic spook is highly suspicious of the manner in which Trick got discharged, I assume he was gonna be sent to garrison duty on some shithole planet and Hawks pulled a few favors to get him discharged, something unheard of for Clones
>>746544847They explain it later in the game. You're supposed to talk to people in the den bro.
>>746544932P sure they're fixed.
>>746544952I am. Which is why I'm confused that everyone is talking about how he's not a deserting scumbag, but got his good and honest medical discharge. Which clashes with him, you know, being in my army (not that I'm taking him on mission. Your special sucks, get fucked, same-face)
>>746544847>>746544939They were going to reassign him to scrub toilets on Kamino, but Hawks called in a favor and got him discharged to Zero Company
>>746544939As hawks and trick explain it in I think trick's personal quest he was reassigned to kamino to do grunt/droid work like cleaning and repairing shit but he still felt fit to fight so Hawks pulled some strings to get an official medical discharge and hired him
Is there anything I can do against enemies with retaliation? Or am I supposed to just tank the damage and say fuck it? I could smoke myself, but that seems.. overkill. And wasteful on missions where I can't camp the smoke.
>>746545019He was medically evaluated as unfit for combat and put to work doing bitch duty til Hawks "pulled strings" to have him released.
>>746545093Oh yeah, like that retarded clone in S3 of TCW.
>>746540908FUCK THE COILHad my first fight against these faggots. Retaliation, Rush after every hit, AND a full heal? That is just too much if you ask me
>>746545176They can also turn invisible
>>746545117Shoot from cover, daze or stun the guy, if its not a boss with infinite retaliates burn the retaliation charge on someone who can take the hit if needed. You really shouldn't be running into too many guys that can retaliate unless(maybe like 1-3 per combat encounter tops), against the coil thats a target management issue
>>746545176I don't think it's a full heal.
>>746545279With shit like morale and medic's free two medpacks and astro droids (double medpack + other), I don't know why people are struggling with sustain anyway. Trick is basically a free two health bars as well.
>>746544847He got shot in the head/chest saving hawks. If you take off the helmet you can see it. Then was deemed unfit for combat and assigned to clean toilets on kamino Hawks pulled a joe barbaro and got tricks legally discharged.
>>746545176What difficulty are you on? Outside of expert its not too hard to mitigate the amount of assholes that surge. If someone surges and isn't an immediate threat or you have CCs like daze/stun/taunt wipe out the rest of the pod first. If someone goes invisible scan or use aoes to avoid getting overwatched. Seers are the only priority one threat as they have a reaction that kills the turn of whoever attacks them and can almost insta-kill people while surged so you need CC or other tools to ensure they die fast, everyone else is just a normal dude
>>746541691It's one of the worst games I've played in a while in terms of performance. Ironically this makes me glad I actually bought it because I hope it's patched soon. I got an unofficial patch that helped a bit and this is the first time ever that I'm using framegen but I don't notice it. Still pretty inexcusable so it deserves the rating.
>>746544726I ate both coil upgrades once for a companion mission, it sucks but its not the end of the world
>>746544512>Overwatch is weird. you get 1 shot per APHuh, I never put together that's why sometimes I'd get multiple shots and sometimes only get 1.
>>746545706It's easy to miss because the game doesn't tell you (or I missed it) that it's 1 overwatch shot per Ap, but also 1 per enemy only. It is funny if you have a reinforcement point for droids, and you aim 4 squad members on it, they just blast them to shit.
>>746544932They're all set and you have to choose between missions, you side ones have only 3 cycles and you will miss some.
>Finally good againWhen have Star Wars games ever been bad? I don't know why everyone is so down on the EA era. Jedi series, Battlefront, and Squadrons were all good games.
>>746545435I got lucky and rolled the 10% heal per turn on hawks and tricks when they hit bond 8, tel-rea has an 8hp per turn meditation which is basically the same amount of regen even into late-game, and yeah medpaks from a medic are like 50% hp heals. If anyone has trouble sustaining in a fight, medics or astromechs are one of the solutions, the other are heavies. Taunting with a heavy in decent cover and/or decently good armor solves practically 99% of incoming fire
>>746544720Think of things like 2 genders, or gay marriage being a crime. That stuff was only 20 years ago, but we can't talk about how nice things were.
>>746546004This is star wars chuddie. Have you seen any women in star wars? Except for han solo, everyone is gay, because there's only like 3 of them.
>>746545936>I got lucky and rolled the 10% heal per turn on hawks and tricks when they hit bond 8,I think this always comes up, unless we're both luckyits absurdly OP
The game has too many weird design decisions to be considered great>Game is halfway over by the time the training wheels come off>Coil enemies in almost mission. Their fucking buffing animation makes fighting them like watching paint dry>Bond system discourages you from mixing up your team, since you want to max bonds for the rank 8 bonuses>4 weapons>Lightsaber is wiffleball bat again>All maps are basically the exact same>Droids are OP.>The 3 injury system means you will almost never lose an operator
>>746546119Thats the same 3 I got but another anon mentioned in a prior thread that they had a different set of 3 for hawks + trick. Do you have other bond 8s with hawks and anyone else? Here's what I got for hawks with jae and tel respectively
>>746546290I'm on cycle 33 and somehow havent gotten an 8 with anyone else
>>746546204>Lightsaber is wiffleball bat againskill issue, my tel-rea is hitting for 47 damage every time twice a turn
>Tela, you foolish jedi whore, if you only knew the power of the D-ack!
>>746546204>Coil borrows the name of one Chimera Squad faction, and the main gimmick of the other
>>746544512It is just buggy as shit. Xcom1 overwatch was this buggy too. xcom2 fixed it. apparently it will always takes at least a sequel to fix this thing.
>>746545215FUCK>>746545281It was for me. He had absurdly high health, took two turns to get him alone down to less than 10%, and then he shits his pants for a full heal. >>746545619normal, because I'm a bitch.I don't know how surge works, looks like to me whenever a Coil dies, whoever is closest gets it. I killed two at once, the same person got it. Then one that wasn't anywhere near the battle got the ones from the others. Not cool. Maybe I got unlucky with his buffs, but holy shit, it was just stupid. Shot him, he'd run over to smack them, repeat, full heals himself, shoot him, runs over to strike. Still early level, cycle 9, and I'm trying to swap out people often as opposed to one singular team, so that's probably hurting me by not getting the Bonds up. Thanks for the advice though. FUCK COIL NIGGAS
>>746546394my wife is so cool
Cly has a FAT ass too bad she's wearing some itchy looking wool pajamas
>>746546575built for big hawk cawk
>>746546575The only character in the game allowed to have assets
>>746546361How does she hit twice?
>>746546496This just made me think how goofy it is that 99% of lightsabers lack a crossguard despite it being WAY more dangerous to touch a lightsaber than a sword
>>746546496Is that the same Inquisitor from Fallen Order?
>>746546692She eventually gets a meditation for that.
All we wanted was a better world for (you). But now Muuns control the banks again.
>>746546746Yeah
>>746546692She can get one of those jedi utility perks that lets her use her saber twice in a turn >>746546746Yes
>>746546321Well damn, I mean I was kinda forcing bond 8s on hawks. Every time I popped a backup it was usually going on hawks, jae was also my medic so she had high bonds with most people. By the end I think I had 3 people bond 8 with hawks, and the other main cast was bond 6 and bond 7 with him>>746546465Yeah you got it right. Each coil starts with a stack of resonance, you kill them it goes to another infected no matter the distance on the battlefield and if someone reaches 3 stacks they surge and can no longer receive additional stacks. The surge effect heals plus gives them a damage boost and then an additional effect depending on their unit type. For the two they introduce at the start the ranged ones will always get retaliate and the melee ones will always go invisible move and attempt to melee overwatch anyone that walks past them while invisible. For the melee ones sometimes the invisible animation doesn't play out fast enough so you can get an idea of where they are running to so you can fish them out with AoEs or scans.
>>746541691It's not a good game. Star Wars enjoyers are just mindless consumers who eat anything with the brand on it.
>>746546806Isn't Inquisitor existing in the Republic era lorebreaking?
>>746542072>not port issues>turns can get stuck>camera is all kinds of fucking retarded>performance is terrible PC and consoles (console fags report less and they are used to dogshit frames)Genuinely embarrassing.
>>746546915If that were true Outlaws wouldnt be a flop
>>746546496Wait, I thought the game ends after Order 66 and all hell breaks loose?
>Dr. Hawks? I'm Cly Kullervo.How do you respond without sounding mad?
>>746546321Make sure you always use back me up even if it doesn't make sense. Also, take medic on Hawk and spam combat stims on everyone.
>>746546465>>746546816Oh wait I forgot to talk about the full heal. They have a captain-type unit, who unfortunately just kinda looks the same as the other ranged guys, that just does that, they have to blow their whole turn to do so(I think they'll get a status called unnatural resilience) so if that pops up and you aren't confident in killing them redirect your fire to something else
>>746546920>Republic era
>>746546962Shocking that it even sold manyJust goes to show how retarded SW enjoyers are
>>746546987THE Glorp Sloppo!?
>>746546976Order 66 is roughly 2/3rds into the game
Do enemies spawn infinitely on the extraction missions? If so, could you just spam back me up and heals forever and jump strait to max bond from a single mission?
>>746546976No, Order 66 is about the 60% point of the game
>>746547070Possibly, but the game really isnt this hard to waste that much time on min maxing and grinding bonds
>all the good modern star wars games have brown villainswhat did they mean by this
>>746547132Who's even the villain of Outlaws? I've never heard about the plot of that game
>>746546987welcome to the team
>>746541691leaving aside performance problems (which seem to vary but are more common than not), it's also buggy as shit
Didn't the author who made the tie in novel for Jedi Fallen Order go apeshit when Jedi Survivor had the Dathomir girl fall in love with Kal when in the book she was a lesbian?
>>746547167A white guy, so it was as shit as everyone was saying
I find it funny Disney has not made a single sequel trilogy thing ever since Episode 9 ended. Do they regret the sequel trilogy?
>>746547262Yes. Also worth mentioning the writer was Sam Maggs, the bint who fucked up the KOTOR remake so hard they had to scrap it and turn it into Fate of the Old Republic
>>746546736I mean the crossguard is there to stop blades from sliding down to your fingers. The crossguard lightsabers seem like they'd be super dangerous for the person using them and you could just slice the crossguard right off of the one from the sequels.
>>746547301isnt mandalorian sequel trilogy
>>746547301Yes. Filoni wants to keep it, but after Mando and Grogu, the Filoniverse is probably coming to a quick end. Its known that execs at Disney have openly talked about outright retconning them.
Yeah whatever. Midnight Suns 2 please.
Wait, what the fuck is that, when did I get that
>>746544726Story operations usually take a cycle or two to fire off the subsequent mission.but do that Tel mission asap so you don't get fucked by a Luco mission showing up at the same time
>>746547301They sell enough D+ subs and merch thanks to Mando. Why pour even more money into movies that harm the brand?
Is this book any good? I liked Andor.
>Final boss fathom>Lots of HP, fat amounts of defense, and melee so the pain is non-negotiable>Backed up by infected coil(with infected clone troopers as a new super unit) she can surge all at the same time and does as her first action, and whenever reinforcements show up>Think its going to be a hell of a marathon>Get her to half-health and bennic pops up to join the team and results in a stage transition that full recovers the team's HP and resources but fathom is still half HP>Also pops up in a position thats both close enough to the team and away from enough obstacles that tel can pull her to the team and the team can one-round her>Ends up easier than typhon's fightCome on man, it was so cool up until that point and they had shown during rex's mission that allied reinforcements were also allowed in the system so why didn't they do that instead
>>746547502>Midnight Suns 2kek
>>746547502and let me fuck Magik and Nico this time
>>746547517You're better off reading something random off the scifi shelves at your local bookstore.
>>746547503Did you talk to trick about his shiny new armor? He got the full package
>>746547503>trick clearly wearing commando gear >"hrm...why do i have a commando gun..."
>>746542570Cant tell if bait or not.
>>746547512they're apparently in deep financial trouble because of the string of expensive Star Wars failures over the past few years.
Republic? What Republic?
>>746547301Isn't there a sequel with Rey being made? The Grogu movie proved they learned nothing. They'll keep making dogshit mostly designed to wank off their most obnoxious fans until they kill the IP completely.
>>746546204Enemy variety is shit too, droids droids coil droids coilAlso you eventually realise they're severely limited on character models and the 8 or whatever playable races are also the only races that exist in this game. There's no wookiiees, there's no trandoshans, there's no quarren there's no admiral ackbars, there's no kit fistos, there's no gran, there's no ithorians
>>746547861>Isn't there a sequel with Rey being made?It was in the development hell for years, and who knows if they'll start filming.There's persistent rumors that Rey will appear in Starfighter, and that Ryan Gosling is taking the kid to her jedi academy. Disney has claimed no previously seen characters appear in the movie, but you know how it is.
>>746546204actually the bond system encourages you rotating out squaddies to keep juicing up Hawks
Bros that mandalorian chick has such a fat fucking ass.
>>746547994There's occasionally the Empire, but it has a grand total of two enemy types, who look identical to each other
>>746548087She loves to take multiple guys at once too.
>>746547994Midnight Suns has the same problem>Hydra>Demons>Green DemonsIt's weird that all these XCOM games didn't notice that the enemies had a lot of personality, too
>>746547292Outlaws is both much better and much less woke than this game ironically enough.
>>746548203Yeah, but. It's XCOM. Their enemy designs are some of the greatest in the entire industry. They're just never going to top that.
>>746548246lmao no one believes you've played either
I love Cly
>>746548087The helmet stays on
>>746548330How about just aiming higher than the bare minimum?
>>746548373Same
>>746548385If I remove it, will you die?
>>746548479It would be extremely painful4 U
>>746548087FUARK
kinda shocking every girl in this is good waifu/spankbank material
I just punched a droid into another droid and the game crashed. Is this a known issue or am I just unlucky
All Zero Company personnel be advised, the Coil is displaying new, strange powers.
hope this has a good future for mods
>>746548819I have never had this game crash on me ever, although it does freeze up occasionally, as it's trying to figure out what should be happening now.
>>746548954
>>746548819That droid was your computer>>746548828I had that exact same thing happen on that same mapI tried knocking someone off that bridge with a concus grenade but they just floated >>746548954AwesomeI hope we get more aliens as well, even if it's guys with little to not facial animations (Kel Dor)Oh and cloth physics as well, give me some Galactic Marines
WAIT STOP TRICK SHES MINE
Why does cly's ex-husband remind me of lionel richie?
>>746548954>Vipers get ported into the game
>>746549165>Modders are finally going to put x-com into other games
>>746544804>shitty porno weg studioNo thanks.
>>746549165Sorry anon, Disney will ensure all you get is Thisspiasians
>>746544929>candy barsit's not just because I'm big and old now I swear
>>746548819Probably unrelated, the game crashes all the time.
>>746549275Bob Iger is gone now, you can afford to dream that they'll be an entertainment company again.
I like how Hawkes treats Runa like a special ed kid
dats zero company bhaybee
>>746549446Separatists were not the brightest sparks in the galaxy.
>>746549504That's scripted, I've just done this mission today
>>746548783Shame the faces are so dog in the actual game.
>>746549628For player characters, sure, but what's your problem with Runa's face
>>746548410That would require time, money or lowering consumer expectations. I think the heavy lifting in this game is the fact that its not set in the post-sequel era.
Attention crashers/bad performance havers:Try deleting the nvidia shader cache and the game shader cache before you run the game. That fixes it for me. Yes its annoying, but if you play for several hours at a time its worth it.
>>746549628your problem is you are a pornbrained gacha gooner and will never be happy unless everything is an anime bimbo with its fartmeat hanging out and clapping when they walkput a helmet on your soldiers if it bothers you and stop fucking crying like a fragile little gook
What are the possible odds for either an expansion and if the game sells really well, a sequel set in the original trilogy?
>>746549801where do i play this gacha game with anime bimbos that i can impregnate also why are you so homosexual?
Noooo, I am not ready, I want to fuck around some more
>>746549826The fate of EA and all associated studios is really up in the air right now, so nobody can answer this question. The game was probably rushed because of the Saudi deal. It certainly feels rushed.
>>746549942>Saudis make a sequel and it's better than the first game simply because more attractive womenThough I won't be surprised if they put some big soccer player in the game as a unique unit.
>>746549826I'd say a good chance of both. The Saudis love money so I doubt theyd shutter a studio that did a good job but who knows On one hand an actually successful and good star wars game is almost unheard of in the modern era, which means Disney will probably push for more of thisOn the other hand, now that its shown to be successful, Disney might want greater control over the game, and demand it gets shittier
>>746549801>don't want to look at ugly people?>go watch pornlol
>>746540908Can the characters actually die or is it another Chimera Squad situation?
>>746550012I don't expect the Saudis to do anything with EA except to tear it to bits and sell each studio they own separetely, keep only whatever sportsball franchises EA owns
>>746550062They can actually perma die, although honestly you gotta really suck at the game or be an idiot to get them killed
>Bunch of ways to give AP to allies>can't have more than 3 APFUCK, ME. That's so god damn annoying, I have to do so much back and forth Ap micromanaging that would be solved if they would just let me overcap.>but anon, that one weapon does more damage the more AP you have!Cap it at 3, who gives a fuck>but anon, that would allow you to let one guy run across the entire battlefield in one moveOkay? So what? It also moves him away from the team, and leaves him without any AP if he does that. How often is it a good Idea to enable one guy to sprint full speed away from your entire team and be stranded alone on the other side with no AP left, and no other guys to support him? Even for "go activate and capture that thing" missions, they are never ever balanced about you needing to bum-rush the thing. They are designed to have you lazily kill enemies on the way to it, and then activate it. In fact, if you gave all the AP boosts to one character, to sprint and activate it turn 1, you'd probably fuck yourself over because now you have the starting waves to deal with, as well as the "you started the event" wave that spawns the round after activating shit, with a guy who is completely out of range of your other guys. Just let me fucking overcap AP. It's FINE.
You think they'll port this to Switch 2? I want to play this handheld.
>>746550062Yes, but you need to turn on permadeath, and they need to get wounded three times. I've not really heard of anyone losing units, unless they're going out of their way to intentionally kill them off.Also, you can lose story companions by not doing their quests, apparently
>>746550104I had Jae killed by accident on the first mission that introduces Coil enemies.
>>746550014Disney's new CEO seems to be moving things in the right direction, they might actually avoid shitting up a success now. He even made then remove the troon shit from the park announcements something I was very surprised to learn. They're actually walking things back these days if you can believe it.
>>746550227>remove the troon shit from the park announcements something I was very surprised to learn. whats this meme
>Hawks, scoundrel/assault>Jae, scout/scoundrel>Cly, mandalorian/scout>Tela, the jediDon't need anyone else.
>>746550401me but swap scout onto hawks and cly out for trick
Lemme get my Star Wars prequel lore right:So, the Republic are generally the good guys, but their political system is being undermined by sith to take control of the galaxy, right?The separatists saw that the republic was a bureaucratic mess, and corrupt and said: "Fuck you, we're out", But instead of just leaving, they ALSO declared war on the republic, so from the republics PoV they are essentially terrorists, which makes them the bad guys? But it turns out the Separatists are ALSO being manipulated by the sith, to fight the forces secretly under control by the sith, so that the sith could fight a war against themselves, win, and be the leader of the galaxy? Is this fucking retarded? Doesn't help that the separatists logo is STRIKINGLY similar to the Empire logo. One being a circle inside a circle with lines going from the inside to the outer circle, the other being a hexagon within a hexagon with lines going from the inside to the outer circle. Like fucking Romania going to war with Chad, flag wise. Or Indonesia against Monaco.
>>746548783They aren't. At all. Retarded tranny.
>>746550554No, the Republic had been corrupted for a few centuries by the time the Prequels happened not directly from Sith schemes but just the natural decline of civilizations, which is what allowed the Sith to ferment their schemes. The CIS had semi-legit grievances but the top guys were either Sith or just greedy space chinamen
>>746549675Literal man face and male body. They made "her" using body type A lmao.
>>746541683Get a job and build a computer?
>>746550428Why would you take trick? Instead of a special that revives you when dying, just take someone with a special that kills the enemy that would have downed you.

>>746550554>Separatists hate space taxes and the woke mafia shitting up the middle and outer rim>Secede>This allows Palpatine to enact more and more executive power in the name of peace and fighting a difficult war>Also allows the republic to build up a police state and significant military industrial complex that it lacked beforehand>AND establish a gigantic clone army loyal only to the government(see: palpatine)>Whittle down the Separatists while your apprentice, Dooku undermines them from within so they cant actually win the war >And finally on the cusp of victory, wipe out the jedi, declare yourself emperor, and kill any last dissidents in the galaxyIts not that retarded desu, where it gets retarded is when you look at the finer details, character actions, and how things play out into the OG trilogy. George's greatest strength with the prequels was the broad stroke story beats
>>746550014>Disney will probably push for more of thisLOLWHO'S GONNA TELL HIM THE TRUTH???
>>746550759>This clip is realStill can't believe it.
>>746541683Based. That's a far, far better game than this soulless woke dogshit.
>>746550014Push for more of what? An extremely woke technical mess that hasn't sold for shit? Fucking hell you people are braindead.
>>746550554Have you never seen the movies?>Palpatine is already running the Republic>Palpatine intends to become the emperor of everything>First, he needs to pave the way for the transition, give himself unlimited emergency powers>This is only possible in the times of a galactic crisis>He decides it's going to be a civil war.>Hand pick the Separatist leaders, choose the biggest cartoon villains possible>Some of them know the plan and are willingly following it, under the delusion Palpatine intends the Separatist side to win, or that he'll pardon them and share power after.>Some are simply retarded dupes, who are being manipulated, because they were hand picked for being retarded dupes>In order to actually ignite the war, Palpatine arranges an assassination attempt on the prominent Republican senator>Investigation of the assassination leads directly into the separatist stronghold, and the investigators get captured.>"The evil, murderous Separatists have kidnapped our citizens, the only solution is a limited special military operation to surgically decapitate them and prevent war!">"Tee-hee, did I say limited operation? Sorry, didn't work out, we're doing the war attrition with millions dead instead.">Protact the war as long as possible.>Use the war as an excuse to grab more and more power. Yes, I need direct control over the banks, the banking clans have separatist ties! Do you hate democracy, anon? Do you want the separatists to win?>When Palpatine has complete control over all branches of the government, and nobody could possibly legally oppose him or even coup him, the separatists have served their purpose, and it's time for them to go.>Get rid of their leaders, effortlessly end the war that was only still going on because you've said so, declare yourself Emperor.
>>746550401Im not ditching Kabb, even if his ability is mediocre.
>>746551035>we're doing the war attrition with millions dead insteadgotta love how the clone army is like, 2.5 million guys, in a galaxy with trillions of people I love writers with 0 concept of scope
>>746550697Because Trick is my brother
>>746551035Also, I do not know if Palpatine ever conceived a future in which the Separatists win, and he runs the show from their side instead. Sure, that could easily work out if Dooku was loyal, but I don't think he'd stay loyal, and I don't think Palpatine expected him to possibly stay loyal. The sith code is built on betrayal, the moment the separatists win, it's prime opportunity to backstab Palpie.
>>746551262Dont think them winning was ever in the cards, their leadership was fully compromised and mostly fought by a droid army that could be reprogrammed whenever to just fight a little shittier Plus their top general was some dude with a breathing problem that cared more about dueling jedi than winning battles
Any classes worth doubling up on?

>>746551482Actually, anon, Sheev has foreseen it, faked his death and returned stronger than ever. Then he was defeated by the chosen one, Rey Skywalker, because she had two lightsabers and was all the jedi.

>can pick your class and weapon typeOk but I dont know what archetypes the other characters in my group use so I cant properly pick the most appropriate. I went with default male with the scoundrel class and single pistol start because im unoriginal.
I love how the rando recruits interact with the story characters and relax around your base. Really feels like a proper PMC after a while
>>746551649So the War on Terror>>746551738You can also pick the classes and weapon types of everyone else on your team
>>746551752I really liked it, but I wish they had a bit more dialogue. Actually, I wish everyone had more dialogue. If Hawks asks Tela what's the street price for the lighsaber again, I'm going to bust a vein.
>>746551738>Ok but I dont know what archetypes the other characters in my group use so I cant properly pick the most appropriate.You can just change everything at any moment, there's no cost for respeccing.Also, blaster pistols suck. I've outfitted everyone with rifles and never regretted it.

>>746551758>>746551836I have extreme autism and have to give characters classes that they as people would logically have. Like the clone guy at the start being a soldier is a no brainer.

Remember when aliens were aliens and not just reskinned humans? Mass Effect in recent times has been better. Mordin and Grunt, those are fucking aliens. These characters arnt on that level at all. If anyone compares this to Mass Effect tell them that, and perhaps to go fuck themselves.

>Good soldiers follow orders. Good soldiers follow orders. Good soldiers follow orders.
>>746550554sorta kinda,Republic was rotting with huge class inequality inter and intra planets. The Republic, getting tired of the Outer Rim's (poor people) lawless shit and decided to tax the ever living fuck out of them so they can exert more control, at worse extract as many resources before abandoning the shithole planetsThe Trade Federation, then out of nowhere, decided to Blockade Naboo in protest - a planet in the middle of the Core Worlds and Outer Rim. So now no trade can get past. Republic then send Jedis to negotiate. But The Trade Federation decides to gas the meeting room (start of Episode 1).Shit happens, Qui-gon Jin dies, Naboo with the help of native gungans destroy the blockade themselves, Some Nabooian chancellor gets a seat at Coruscant, Peace sorta restored. But the Trade Federation is not happy. Dooku, Qui-gon's Master was fucking distraught by the events, why did his apprentice have to die on some shit hole like Naboo when the Jedi or the Republic should have acted. He leaves the Republic. Problem is -> Dooku is the Count of Serenno, one of the richest planets in the galaxy. He's also the Apprentice of Yoda (Aging Jedi Grand Master). Everyone kinda assumed he'd be the next Grand Master after Yoda but now he's up for grabs.Trade Federation goes to him and go "hey, we wanna start our own government, wanna start a new Jedi order for our government? It'll be like a New Republic without this inequality shit". Dooku agrees.More Shit happens (Episode 2), Trade Federation starts militarizing by building a fuck you ton of droids to fight. Jedis investigate strange unrelated shit and discover Dooku is funding a Separatist army, and through the course of investigating the strange unrelated shit found a Clone army for the Republic. The 2 armies then clashed in Geonosis.doesn't matter though, turns out that Nabooian chancellor from before? Turns out he planned the whole thing even before the blockade.
>>746552727why does she make my peepee hard
>always listen to the news>Count Dooku dead>General Grevious defeatedOH FUCK THIS IS BADDON'T LET TRICK KEEP HIS GUN
Is there any good Star Wars stuff that is more military fiction? No Jedi, no space magic, just soldiers and armies and battles. Movies, shows, books, comics, whatever.I've never liked the franchise because I don't like the Jedi/Sith stuff but straight up sci-fi military stuff could be cool.
>>746553535oh no! don't tell Ru, she was a big fan of Dooku
>>746553583>probably got wet when a colony of her people got enslavedI want a Confederate wife.....

>>746553583She had no answer for this
You know its kinda funny to me that despite getting some genuinely nasty bots later on, the seps are still the easiest early game opponent over basic coil and outlaws.
>>746551976What the fuckHow did an editor approve this
>give B1s +6 hpor>give Super Battle Droids increased rocket damageAs a Gunslinger Hawks I know I have to stop the B1s hp increase but FUCK do I not want to deal with stronger rockets.
>>746552452Sorry bro, peace is about to return to the galaxy
>>746542327Funnily enough indie devs are guilty of this too. Often times their games not only look like something from 2002 but also run like shit. Abiotic Factor is pretty good but the performance was shockingly terrible.
>>746553967just upgrade your ability. The HP becomes 13,with a proper build you can still 1 shot them.
>>746553254How did no one question the idea of sending JEDI to negotiate a peace negotiation over taxes and trade Does the academy offer doctorate macroeconomics courses?
>>746551976Need this with Cly and Runa
>>746553967Just ask yourself, how often are you even running into SBDs and how often do they even get to use their rockets. Keep in mind these are specifically coil SBDs and B1s and not the ones deployed on the normal separatist missions

>>746553539Andor isn't military fiction but it is spy fiction and only focuses on regular people doing the behind the scenes stuff in the rebellion and empire

>>746554247Say him earlier this year. So glad I did. Great concert. For the big finale everyone dresses up in Star Wars and they did The Saga Begins and Yoda.
>>746553254how the fuck was "Peace Restored" after clearing a blockade? Did the Trade Federation and the Republic re-negotiate the taxes after the Battle Of Naboo?

>>746554247this is the whitest thing i've seen this week.2000's were a different time.
>>746554708What would make it a Star Wars game for you
>>746554761like having the actual fucking characters from star wars? not some deviantart octhe enemies are literally the snake cult from starfield, that's how i imagine a star wars game.
I picked the assault class at the beginning and I regret it. Can I switch to something better later?
what makes star wars?>the characters>the setting>the designslet's having nothing of it in "our" "star wars" gamestar wars is saved guys
>>746554938You can switch it something else right now in the personnel screen
>>746554873So you’re the guy they ruined the Mando shit for
>>746554982so you are a retard. better buy another baby yoda plush retard.
>>746554873>>746554973Anon, the game has>Clone Wars>Clone Troopers>K1s and B2s>a Mando>a Jedi>ANAKIN AND AHSOKA>Order 66>the new Disney SW stuff I'm not familiar withWhat more do you want?
>>746555025You should be clapping for every baby yoda you seeYou know that one!
>>746554978I can customise my appearance, but not my class. Perhaps I need to play more to unlock that function?
>>746555153OH MY GOD it has a JEDI that makes it a star wars game
>>746555153DUDE, ANAKIN AND AHSOKA!!11!!11!!!
>>746555217You get the option after the very first mission
>>746555217It's somewhere in the bottom right of the menu, in the character skill screen.
>>746554708this is the most star wars-y star wars piece of content in a whilet. former 501st legion member
>>746555153DUDE I saw B1 droid the said ROGER ROGER I clapped
>>746555217
Jae finishing the game by executing an enemy feels like poetry.Good game, I'll play it again after some good mods release.
>>746555229>wants a star wars game with more star wars stuff in it but star wars stuff from star wars doesn’t count
Can someone even explain what this schizo argument is about?>this game set during the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith is totally not a Star Wars game
>>746555358I say this and sound like this
>>746553679She did, I can confirm.
>>746555430It’s very simple. A star war needs to have characters from star wars and nothing new ever but also shouldn’t have them because that’s just nostalgia pandering.
>>746555157you like mandalorian you retard you are the retard clapping when seeing baby yoda
Do you think KOTOR isn't star wars since they never made a movie about it?
>that will be 49.99 goybucks
>>746555482>>746555430>>746555542nothing about this is sw you retard
>>746555510You’ll note I said they ruined it by pandering to retards who just want to see references to things they know
Where's the Darth Vader? Where's Luke? Where's the Millennium Falcon?!
>Droideka intro>There's a body of water right behind it>Girl with Force Push: "I can help!">Kabby has his uppercut ready and Jae has her bull rush>>Can't push it into the waterWell that fucking sucks
>>746540908Can you play as the good guys?
>>746555583I tried watching Manadalorean when it first aired but dropped it as soon as this thing showed up.Is it worth trying again? Didn't seem very good.
>>746547502It already killed the XCOM Dev team. We don't need it to kill the Zero Company devs too.
>>746555974No. Season 1 is halfway watchable, but mostly filler. Season 2 is a lengthy advertisements of Ahsoka, the Boba Fett show and the Gina Carano show they've never made. Season 3 is absolute goyslop, and the movie managed to make less than Solo.
>>746555542Is KOTOR really a Star Wars game though or just a fanfiction? Search your feelings.
>>746556058>and the movie managed to make less than Solo....for a good reason, is what I was trying to say.
>>746555974It's alright. First season feels like it's own thing and is entertaining, then season 2 Filoni started meddling and bringing in his cartoon characters but ultimately it still has some really awesome episodes and moments. Season 3 is full blown Filoni glup shitto girlboss trash and overall kind of boring.
>>746555659>they ruined it by pandering to retards who just want to see references to things they knowthat was the whole premise of mandalorian>not boba fet>not yoda>the empireit's literally how mandalorian startedthe whole point of mandalorian was pandering to member berries retards
As someone who loved Star Wars and hated what it became, this game is pretty alright
>>746555402>>746555305Turns out >>746555302 was mostly right. You need to reach Cycle 3 to unlock respeccing.
It’s Filoniwars fanfiction. Goes over the top with witches, more magic, big stakes yet somehow gets no mention in the movies. I wouldn’t argue it’s not Star Wars, but an off-shoot of SW I don’t particularly enjoy. Could’ve been better, more grounded without magic bugs and magic plagues.
>>746554106It illustrates Chancellor Valorum’s desperation to resolve the dispute quickly and his limited means, he’s essentially sending goons to strong arm a resolution to the blockade. But to his credit, Palpatine is genuinely caught off guard by this and the Nemodians we’re ready to fold until he ordered them to kill the Jedi and invade Naboo.
>>746554478No, but the hyperspace lane is open for business again, which is all the core world planets really care about.
Is reddit: the crew member a prominent character in the game? I've only played for about 2 hours but she's already annoying as fuck.
>>746554717Enjoy is generally not the verb I'd use for the time
>>746555583Babby yoda is cute af
>>746556775She's just kind of always there.
>retards think that putting a jedi and battledroids in your xcom mod makes it a star wars game
>>746556775You mean Runa? She's always there, but she's not a major character, has no arc and doesn't go out in the field. She's half of a mission control, Bennic is the other half.Also fuck you, she's great.
>>746556775>reddit is ancaps nowI guess im out of the loop
>>746556079it grossed less than solo but it was like half the budget of solo too
>>746556997Reddit is when a redditor doesn’t like something
>>746556959>>746556997She's a communist tranny. Kys'
>>746556997>>746557062the retarded shills are really offendedtime to start calling this game reddit
>>746556997>>746557062you know these retarded shills don't belong here when they get offended for using reddit to describe something bad
>>746557115You can always spot the marketers when they spam that character and pretend it is "sexy" or "funny". This game is full of indefensible stuff that the Disney trannies and jeets are pushing here.
Fuck this game for enemies suddenly becoming bullet sponges when the last mission was still easy. Suddenly the fucking slugrats all need 5 hits to kill
>>746557049Yeah, and in the context of one isolated movie it's a great thing. But Blupkis and Gragle is not an isolated movie, it's>A part of the series that used to reliably break the bank>Featuring the most popular Disney character has ever made>The first theatrical Star Wars release in about seven years, so there's no way to blame "Star Wars fatigue".And it still didn't make shit in the box office. Now imagine being Dave Filoni. And looking at your next big theatrical release, Starfighter, which has none of these things going for it, and instead is a movie about the fallout of the oh so beloved sequel trilogy.Or imagine trying to pitch "Ahsoka vs Thrawn" movie to Josh D'Amaro.
2 scouts for Adv Points, 1 scoundrel (maybe even 2) for Vuln, and Kullervo - more than enough to kill anything that moves! then i like to take Tel-Rea because she's cute, can push units into a ball for Kullervo, and worse case scenario stand there deflection tanking whilst i setup everyone else.this is quite trivializing Hard mode atm. Hawks Sniper/ScoutKullervo /ScoutKabb Scoundrel/x (Medic or Heavy would actually be quite nice for emergencies and he's not here for damage) Tel-Rea because Jedi / Jae for executes / Astromech for utility
>>746557215The game's factions come in two flavors>Droids, who have a lot of chaff and occasional medium, and very occasional elite enemies.>Not droids, who have no chaff, but also not elites, and everyone requires combos to kill.
>>746557229>so there's no way to blame "Star Wars fatigue"but there is, nobody cares about sw anymore which is literally "Star Wars fatigue"
I wish that instead of Push and Pull the jedi had the generic telekinesis ability that allowed me to throw the enemies where I want them. And maybe also the exploding barrels too.Oh well, maybe that would be too overpowered.
>XCOM Star Wars>It's not Clone Wars>It's some retarded Reddit fan fiction where you fight the Snake Cult from Starfield
>activating the objective immediately calls in reinforcementsNot this shit again. Fine. I'll do the stupid XCOM2 thing where you pass the turn at the objective, then activate it, then overwatch everyone accordingly.Man, a few of these mechanics I did not miss.Also love misclicking my movement input, with my guy taking two steps out of cover and then being stuck there because you only get one continuous movement with no way to correct it at all.
>>746545019Who gives a fuck, they are opportunistic mercenaries and the bookie is literally an unrepentant separatist.
>>746557420lol the jedi can't even use jedi powers and the retards want to call this a star wars game
>>746557542Overwatch isn't even worth the effort when it either misses, locks up the game to calculate the enemy turn, or bugs out to waste your time and AP
Jedi class is retarded. Push does less damage than pull and just having it not being omnidirectional is stupid. Not being able to use it on the squamates also sucks. Few times I was left with gunslinger out in the open because of missed droid or other classes due to drain. And I wondered why the fuck can't I pull them away from danger?
>>746555974Out of all the Star Wars shows only Andor is a must watch. Unless you just want pretty pictures on the screen and don't really give a shit. Or inversely if you are in too deep into the Filoni children's cartoon rabbit hole and now you can't back out anymore.
>>746542142Yeah
Started up a new run on expert now that the jedi mods are kinda working. Here's my twilek hawks for the moment, leader of clone troopers and an astromech. Surprisingly I don't have issues with the mismatch in voice and face(aside from the times he gets really southern they're not that bad) but man I can't find a satisfactory headcover. The other two clip like crazy and even if you choose no headwrap by say using tel's earring with a mod it still gives you some ugly bandage wraps
Tel can clear maps by herself, you're just bad at video games.
>>746558487Hey just because she's good and lightsaber throw can clear one entire spawn it doesn't change the fact it could be better class. Not even stronger class, just more satisfying to use, and without leaving me with questions like>why the hell do I need to waste a move just to push some droids around and clump them together for rocket salvo/grenade throws
>supposedly "antiwoke" retards crying about Runa, the ancap YEAH KILLEM free market crypto scamming muh stonks accountant because she complained about the company going bankrupt once, and that makes her 'reddit' and somehow a feminist communist you have become as stupid and annoying as tranny leftoid freaks, so I guess the horseshoe theory has some merit after all
>>746558442Where'd you get the little waist cape from?
>>746558407I would have just made force sensitivity a separate, extensive skill tree that could be taught to any unit
>>746558629Mid-game unlock, you get more customization parts for clone troopers with the legs + waist cape as one of them. I have it early on since all customization unlocks carry over when you beat the game. Some tops that extend past the waist do remove the waist cape though.
>>746558709Cheers, I'll keep an eye out for it
push does damage based on how many 'objects' you hit with the character, so slam them into a corner to bounce around, and debris or other enemies and they take multiple hitsyou can get like 50 push damage at level one if you aim it properly, or an instant kill if you send an enemy into a 'void' like water/cliffconsidering you can use it from range, it's a pretty good ability
game works fine on its own but mods absolutely rape the frame rate and graphics, anyone else having weird issues?
>>746551482Death Star 2 still would've blown up regardless with everyone on board since the rest of the finale went the way it did. Return of the Jedi is kinda dumb desu.Also if Death Star 2 was always meant to be an incomplete trap, build it up to a point where you can't fly a fucking millenium falcon into its main reactor. Looks even sillier now that Rogue One and Andor established that the design was booby trapped. They literally rebuilt the reactor with the booby trap then? Hell. Leave the fucking main reactor off. It shot one fucking rebel ship, then died. Also how did the rebel fleet even win the fight against a vastly bigger fleet of Star Destroyers. They literally say they can't survive that engagement for long. I guess the executor blew up and everyone else shrugged and went home.And then this whole ploy to get Luke to be a new apprentice doesn't even make sense. Why flip the war over this shit. Makes even less sense now that there's a sith inquisitor, force sensitive or Order 66 survivor under every fucking rock. This shit barely made sense when it was literally just these three space magicians anymore. Now it looks really silly.6's finale is weird and has only gotten weirder. I wish it were written better.
>>746558442Me and the squad patrolling the streets, I'm really glad that NG+ lets you recruit clone troopers right off the bat. Also I think the mod I'm using shrinks hawks a little during exploration, I've pulled out the pico twice now and its floated a full head above hawks both times
how long is the single player campaign mode
any mods to remove the feminist bitch yet? not playing with her in game
It's funny how ordering fruitcakes and pancakes is the optimal way to uberpower your character to the 130+ HP range for hardest difficulty endgame
>>746540908Played a few missions, so far its pretty average and basic. From what i can see, classes are pretty shallow and have next to no customization or new skills to pick and chose from.
>>746559254i thought stormtroopers were human only?
>>746541691>I usually don't play any games below 90%This better be bait lil bro.
>>746559316~25-30 hours, or 40 missions if you're running the story timers down until they force you into the mission>>746559827The clones are all clones and aside from trick the other two joining me actually use the race + voicelines of clones as for me I'm just the asshole force user leading them because man they got some good looking armor
>>746558095Eh, works on my machine.
>>746540908Do u still need to install whatever EA launcher?
>>746559846nta but any game under 90% on steam just has technical issues aka ue5 slop that runs like shit
>>746558619>ancaponly a redditor would use this word you retarded shill
>>746560460nah, those are chinese folk mad that there was winnie the pooh in the game
>>746558407>Jedi class is retarded.yes because it's just an xcom reskin mod and not a star wars game
>>746560524STS2 dev still mad lolmaybe don't sell out to the chinks next time
>>746559641Yeah, the class design so far seems really strange. Everyone already has 95% of the functionality of their class from the start. Then most upgrades are dogshit like +1 damage on a 16 damage ability. +2m range on an ability you use on stuff next to you. +1 turns on a buff that already lasts the entire mission. And then a few nodes, usually at the absolute end suddenly turbo buff an ability again, stuck behind five nodes of jackshit.Also while I'm at it, what the fuck is the Medic super move? 2 health per turn??? 7 fucking super bucks for that shit??? This shit could cost 1 AP and I'd never use it. What were they thinking?
>>746558619>anarcho-capitalisthow is that not a reddit character you fucking retard
>>746541791It runs like XCOM, which is to say sometimes it gets stupid camera angles and has trouble thinking on some enemy terms.
>>746560721the main audience are redditors who get basedfaced over seeing battledroids so it can't be too complex
>>746561392>basedfacedbasedfaceds*yfacedbaaaasedfacedmoot was such a pathetic retarded redditor
>>746554607Communism nostaliga is extremly commonplace in former east bloc countries and obviously people that actually lived through capitalism hate it.90's in Russia were the single largest drop in living standards in human history.
>>746560721I dont know how they keep missing that the secret sauce is in the item, class and base progression. The combination of these is what makes xcom so great.Honestly that ubisoft mario xcom clone made more of an effort on that part at least the 2nd game did
>>746544836That's 50% longer ago than the Jedi.
>>746561587>90's in Russia were the single largest drop in living standards in human history.I fucking wonder why communism collapsed, the drop couldn't be because of communism wasting all the resources to build retarded tanks and pointless wars in africa, it had to be evil capitalism.
I really don’t know why Hawkes still cares about catching Fathom after the empire takes over.
>>746561587the people who still worship communism are simply retards and has nothing to do with any living standards which were absolute shit even during the peak of communism
>>746540908They've been good since the Jedi: games. In fact, Cal mogs all live action protags in terms of writing
>>746561789If wars in africa mattered then usa would have been bankrupt by the 50's. The failure of communism is first and foremost a political failure. One identical to most previous russian empires, ironically.
Is there a single mission in the game w/o reinforcements?No complaining about the difficulty, the game is not difficult, but is there any mission at all in the game that just shows you all the enemies from the start?
>>746561881To the people that lived through the Russian empire, they were a insane improvment of untold proportions.
>you can just respec weapon, perk, skills and class of any bought soldier at any pointI get why, but I also hate it entirely. Why even send one guy over any other guy?
>>746562035In exactly one mission in the late game
I use the 6 man squad mod but only take my 4 guys + 1 droid every time
>>746555298This except unironically, preferably with ecchi elements.>>746558619Kreia was right lel
>>746562065>they were a insane improvment of untold proportions.probably like the german economy miracle where they simply ran out of money so they stole it from captured countries
this is a game specifically for redditors to make their oc sw characters. why even have permadeath?
>>746562035>No complaining about the difficultyyou don't need to say that, this isn't reddit or steam forums, we don't need your life history of beating every souls game.
>>746562069because you want to send a bunch of different people to farm bond points would be my guessi get what you mean tho
>>746561691It felt so weird bringing a level 1 gun slinger for the first time and realizing this one unit can already clear this entire separatist map on its own safe the single SBD that everyone else can focus down after. How did I not have to spend time and resources on this unit for 20 hours to achieve that? Then I go home and upgrade the crit chance of this unit by 3% like that changes anything. Just feels very strange.
total tel rea victory
>Tognath larvae were hatched from a clutch of eggs that were nurtured in a suspension jelly. While in that jelly, two or more eggs (not necessarily from the same parent) were sometimes grafted together, thus creating a bond that continued throughout the life of the eggmates. When the parasitic larvae emerged, they latched onto one of their parents to feed directly from the bloodstream of their sire for six months. After attaining the nutrient-support necessary, the larval Tognath were taken to a nursery tree where they would spin a cocoon within which they would undergo metamorphosis. For months, the Tognath youth would grow both an endoskeleton and an exoskeleton within the safety of their cocoon, dulling their already less-sensitive nervous system. When a young Tognath emerged from their cocoon, they looked like a smaller version of their adult form.But would you give Tel Rea your suspension jelly?
>>746562938I love bug jedi tali!
>>746562367Because XCOM has permadeth. A lot of your questions will be answered by>Because that's how XCOM did it. I'm enjoying Zero Company but as people say it's an easier XCOM with a Star Wars skin because EA is mostly concerned with people having a positive experience with the game. Dying and losing squad mates is a turn off for most people. So 3 downs and you're out is apparently the compromise they reached.
Is it normal to be low on credits 24/7? I'm on like cycle 20 and I've got a few upgrades here and there but I don't think I've had enough credits once to build an upgrade for the ship and then upgrade weapons or buy from the black market.
>>746563179Yeah i have been able to keep up with building every turn no problem but never having enough to buy from the black marketi have purchased 1 item in 18 cycles
>Download game >Play first mission>Install cheat mod >Give myself infinite bond XP and focus points >Game feels too easy even though I'm playing on HardEhh. I hope it gets harder.
>>746562367>this is a game specifically for redditors to make their oc sw charactersNo? You cant create your own characters
>>746563031Does that mean they have to moult as they grow?
>>746563475Funnily enough Wookieepedia doesn't sayMaybe they're like mollusks and secrete calcium to grow larger shells/exoskeletons insteadConsidering their propensity for cybernetics they'd probably enjoy having plenty of skeleton to carve up
>one of my building slots is broken and won't finish building after 3+ missionsnice, bricked save
>>746563457you can make a fully custom main charyou can fully customize your team and pick new ones>You cant create your own characters
Coil really hurt the game. Fighting them is slow af because of their death and buffing animations. If I rocket 3 of them to death, I just alt-tab out while their ghost animations play.
>>746563138I started on second hardest iron man because that's the best way to play XCOM1 and 2.Right now I'm cruising through early game without even a single down, without a single wrist rocket fired at me. I mean maybe they just removed the inverted difficulty curve of XCOM. But somehow I doubt this game will be kicking my ass much in the future either.It'll be disappointing if this is as hard as it gets. Maybe Star Wars Eggsalt and its Avatar Project can spice things up.Will be doubly funny if they wrote the story to work with all the characters dead only for it to turn out that only crayon eating 5 year olds could ever actually lose a unit.
>>746563179Yes. The game did a very good job of balancing economy. You can generally make one good purchase per turn. So you have to pick between building or items.Remember to sell old items.
>>746540908>Disney WarsWill never be good.

>>746540908Shame about it being UE5shit, it suffers from that glossy plastic look that makes the visuals look like absolute dogshit and have terrible pop-in during certain spots, FOTOR will likely suffer the same.
Do we unlock Stormtrooper armor?
>>746564662Hawks doesn't have a southern accent? Southwest, sure, but still South.
>>746564764no, stormtroopers arent in the game
>>746564764There's TK trooper armor but we're waiting on mods to get it for ourselves, apparently there's some issue that makes it difficult
>>746564764no chudtroopers
>>746544720The OG trilogy (maybe by design) made the time scale vague. Like when Tarkin tells the generals that he received word that the emperor dissolved the senate and "the last remnants of the old republic have been swept away". And yet Jedi where also those Guardians for thousands of years before the empire. Granted it might just work on fairy tale logic. But still. Not even later movies in the OG trilogy specify it. The the EU was seen as non cannon by Lucas.
>people still don't understand TK troopers in the year 2026 and just assume they're an inbetween of phase 2 and stormtrooper armour
So wait...all the stormtroopers, well the vast majority of them, are just leftover geriatric decaying clones from the clone wars?
>>746544804kill yourself
>>746565675no, the clones were almost immediately being replaced as soon as the empire formed. they were deemed too expensive and not loyal enough
>>746565535They had the misfortune of being introduced when people stopped paying attention to Star Wars, including the people running Star Wars properties>>746565675Clones were gradually phased out in favor of human conscripts and volunteersI can't imagine there were many left by the time of Episode IV, but we know that there was at least one old Clone around by the Battle of Endor

The customization in this game is atrocious. Practically no helmets besides clone shit and barely any actual armor, too. I want mercs, enforcers, bounty hunters, ex-soldiers, guns-for-hire, not random glup shittos wearing t-shirts with random bits of crap glued on.

>>746557112>communist tranny
>>746568327>EA on splash screenGuess what's gonna happen! The fact this game comes out without season pass is already some kind of a miracle. Or the saudis are already hard at work.
>>746565535>bad b*tchSorry bro, I'm not watching that shit
>>746568981EA actually doesn't have a splash screen.
>>746566453It's still crazy to me that they went into what they knew would be a trilogy with seemingly no plan at all. It's fucking bizarre how disjointed the movies are from each other.
>>746565535If it was introduced in a children's cartoon I don't know about it, simple as
>>746547342its also to stop your fingers from sliding up onto the blade. other sabers would obviously cut right through it but it still makes sense for at least a ridge to be there. I don't even understand how lightsabers get stuck in the floor like in that video or why they just don't force push all the time instead of engaging in melee but whatever.
>>746547016I want it because it's a tactics game.I still didn't buy it though because star wars.people like tactics games.
>>746547016Non-Super Robot Wars srpgs are rare as fuck lately, of course people are starving, it's not a star wars thing, retard-kun
>>746569227RoS reminds me of shit I see when I take a bunch of magnesium before bedtime, it's a genuine fever dream. I made the mistake of getting super high before seeing it in theaters and I left so fucking confused. Tried watching it again a year later dead sober and it wasn't any more coherent.

>>746569227>It worked for the Marvel movies, why wouldn't it work for Star WarsAnd thus the franchise was doomed.
>>746569227On the one hand, yes.On the other hand, they hired the guy who made Lost. What did they expect? >>746569969I think i found it coherent because it's virtually identical to something a 10 year old kid might "write".

Gunslinger, Assault or Scout for Jae?
>>746571610some bits are, concussions don't destroy cover unless a character is launched into them (you need the frags for that), you can still throw enemies out of cover based on the angle you throw the concussion at
>>746571819I meant the fence alongside the edgeBefore that fight I was cheating the fights with the bug by having all surged enemies being thrown into holes
>>746571931ok I get youwhat I mean though is for example he might use plague miasma behind cover and you're just unable to hit him as he makes your hit chance shitthrowing a frag at him blows up his cover, cancels his miasma and just allows you to lay into him its all about forcing him to do actions he wouldnt really need to, if he's in cover he'll shoot you 3 times as he has the actions to do it, force him to take cover (as you blew it up) and he'll shoot you way less
>>746546496the animations only seem slightly better than that god awful star wars MMO they released
>>746551976this isn't even the author's barely disguised fetish anymore

I hope someone makes a mod that turns Jae into a bimbo.
>>746544804That one anti-Larian schizo is replying to this post like 20 times but yes, obviously, that would be great.
>>746572930Disney and canon don't belong in the same sentence. Nothing Disney has made is canon Star Wars. The EU was canon with the films and it's all that matters. Filoni's slop is no better than that vile fart fetish book.
>>746573457i'll never defend Disney dogshit but the EU was never canon as per George's own remarks. The movies took the highest precedence and were not beholden to the EU.
So from reading around a bit:>you should be playing the same four characters as much as possible to farm power of friendship>because it's too easy and outside of injury(which you will never get cause it's too easy) there are no rest periods these 4 can just go on literally every mission >you should ideally choose only the namefag characters because they bring the special mary sue abilities>your squad is eternally limited to 4 so you get a whopping three characters to choose from assuming you bring your main guy>also the game is so short, you can't max more than a few people even if you triedWhy would they design it like this?Just don't design it like this. Just have normal rest and character upgrade systems. Just copy XCOM, it's such a small system, nobody would've complained. Just why? I don't want to bring the same three namefags every fight.
Wait so does the game end at Luunata or a little after? I don't even think I've played for ten hours but the shills claimed it's a 20+ hr experience?
>>746573613This game was pretty blatantly rushed out the door half finished.
>>746573613The game is easy enough on hard that you don't need to worry about min maxing at all. I can't speak for the hardesr difficulty. But I beat hard without not only never losing anyone, but I only had two combat injuries over the entire game.
>>746573707~40 cycles
>>746573707The Lunata with boss fight the son? That's probably 60% of so finished.
>>746573854WTFglad I pirated!
I hope this game selling well and being well-received despite all its jank sends a loud message that gamers are so much more willingly to accept $50 price points than $70.
Can you side with Trick and kill the bug?
>>746573932>this game selling well and being well-received despite all its jankthat just means they should have sold it for more
>>746573932Would be great but I doubt it. Everyone else sees GTA6's price and thinks they can do the same instead. This is clearly a lower budget game, and it's very unpolished and feels unfinished. You also need to stop listening to the shills calling it the best selling Star Wars game of all time, it isn't anywhere near that. It is not nearly as successful as they are claiming and it was only so cheap to begin with because EA is cleaning house after the Saudi buyout and forced it out the door as is when it needed more development time.
>>746573806Fair enough. I guess I did mention it's too easy anyway so I guess actually using the upgrade system to its potential isn't actually necessary. Still fucking weird to disincentivize players from using multiple characters.
>>746565535Why did Sheev stop using clones and go back to humans?
>>746573542Not him but George never said what is and isn't canon, he had people in charge of that just like Disney has now, I think they call them the story group now. The difference is George's people had his input and cared about consistency while Disney's people don't.
>>746574318Cheaper, quicker, easier, and he had the Kamino clone facilities destroyed to bury the evidence (also implied the Kaminoans were genocided and only a couple survived to keep working on his personal clone project)
>>746574337>“I don’t read that stuff. I haven’t read any of the novels. I don’t know anything about that world. That’s a different world than my world. But I do try to keep it consistent… When I said [other people] could make their own Star Wars stories, we decided that, like Star Trek, we would have two universes: My universe and then this other one. They try to make their universe as consistent with mine as possible, but obviously they get enthusiastic and want to go off in other directions.”
>>746571079Booty Hunter can just knock him into his cover with her brap pack for scratch damage to disable his fart cloud for a paltry 2 adv. That doesn't trigger retaliate and can usually also destroy said cover for the rest of the team to shoot him.
>>746568718Why do posts like these feel so inorganic
>>746572973die reddit
>>746573613There’s a random mook who can use grit basically every turn, i use him over actual unique characters, just do whatever the fuck you want anon
>>746574673You have it entirely backwards. That's one of the only organic posts. These are shill threads and ALL of the praise for this slop is artificial.
I assumed the Mando's introduction would have a little more flair, but she literally just walks into the gameThis game really does make me curious about what the devs were/are thinking, if anything
>>746575306I thought it was extremely random how she showed up right after I completed a generic side mission, then the characters all act like I'm supposed to know her from Filoni's cartoons or something but she never existed before.
>>746575306>>746575548I wouldn’t be shocked if at one point they intended for bounty hunters and mercs to appear if you reached certain influence but only the mando was done
>>746575548They probably planned a mission introducing her that got cut for time reasons
>>746575306Yeah its pretty much an unceremonious entrance, probably because she's the only actual side character among the unique ones. Kabb and trick are your OGs, Jae, Luco and Tel all have main story hooks and then theres the side quest mandolorian. I figure they probably had planned to have a better tie-in with her story and the main story due to how her 2nd mission plays out but for whatever reason they couldn't expand the campaign even more. I mean as complete as the game felt they really could have stretched the campaign out a bit more. Like could you imagine seeing coil infected mandos that could actually surge or more of the coil infected clone troopers outside the literal final fight?
>>746575548Game feels choppedProbably half of the missions are missingI don't see any reason to create and use glup shittos aside from getting a sniper early and using them in risky text missions
