....erm, I'd probably give it a go later on but right now it's supposed to be a broken mess...

Indeed, all you do is play into devs hands and pay vast amounts for often unfinished stuff.

I'm enjoying it, on PC, only encountered one bug after a few hours gameplay.

Was worried it was going to be a dodgy port but performance is ok on a 1070 at 1440p with all settings set to High. No complaints.

I’ll wait a few months. First one was a masterpiece once the bugs where ironed out, and I’m not even a Star Wars fan really.

About 2 hours in, no bugs yet, very impressed and much more polished than the first one.

I've got both too, I chose PS5 as I have the edge controller and prefer to remap the controller (eg instead of pressing L3 to run it's mapped to one of the back buttons)

From what's been said so far, PS5 version has the least issues and better frame rate

Impressions after my first session playing..
Gorgeous graphics , combat mechanics excellent and moving around climbing easier too.

Annoying bits ,main character dies too easily if you fall from a height even though you can double jump, teamate flying around with jetpack waiting for you to climb, navigate the walls , just bloody pick me up and fly me there ! smile

I've been thinking about getting this and the comment above his got me thinking i'll buy Jedi: Fallen Order first. Watched some people playing the current one on Twtich and it did appeal. I play on PC and it seems that's where a lot of the issues are.

But how buggy is the current one really? The comments on this thread make me think it's probably similar to a lot of the videos you see when a new Call of Duty is released claiming "CoD X COMPLETELY BROKEN!!!" because there's, say, a glitch that lets you out of the map. I've seen videos' in the past where the person then tries to get the glitch to work themselves and it requires such pixel perfect precision they can't do it. Still doesn't stop the view-generating headlines and deceleration that the game is broken. In my experience, if you just play the game as it's supposed to be played it's rarely much of a problem.

Watching the vid linked to above, it seems balanced review and that performance optimisation on PC is terrible, but then when you look at the last 12 vids that have been published on that channel:



It would seem to be a channel dedicated to the sort of doom hyping I was referring to above.

I can only comment on the ps5 version, played another 4 hours today , it's rare that I play for so long , but the story is drawing me in, plus unlocking new abilities, I have had zero issues and I'm running in visual mode, not performance mode

To be fair to Legacy Killa, his angle is mostly try to raise awareness of games companies doing stty things. Bits it's not like that for all his videos. You seem to be missing the "After The Hype!" Video from that screen grab which is basically an Elden Ring love in. The headlines are quite grabby, but the arguments within are usually balanced. Also he has saved me from buying games that have turned out to be crocks of st at launch in the past (Cyberpunk) though I get why you think it looks like doom mongering. But contrast to that, he's also spoken about the ridiculousness of review bombing before - that Mario one in the list is exactly about that.

I like him, basically he's a bit of a moaner, but it's all meant with good intentions and fundamentally it's right that poor practices in the games industry get called out when they need to be.
