I love that it's a more Imperial focused game, and that there's true single player mode.
Part of the reason I loved the first Force Unleashed game is due to the first part of it being you playing directly under the command of Vader/the Emperor. Also because you can make decisions that affect your standing of whether you're light side or dark side, and thus change the ending of the game depending on your choices.

I enjoyed the flying missions but I was awful at everything else. My kids loved a few of the missions, particularly hero hunt and the other 3v3 heroes mode. I'm sure we will end up getting this game.
If I felt like spending the money right now, I would already have this pre-ordered.
It's a guaranteed pre-order for me, but I'll probably wait until closer to release, maybe pre-order it in October or something.
If I want to die a million times and kill nobody you may find me online lol. I only played the flying board. I was beyond horrible when playing in the 20v20 modes. I gave up immediately.
I doubt I'll buy this. I quit playing after all the DLC came out because nobody else that I played with had it. Ended up being a huge waste.
Aside from that, I'm just not gaming much these days.
I have gone through gaming ruts. You just need the right new game to come along. This is shaping up to be a really good year for me. Do you like RPGs at all? Did you try Mass Effect yet? Would you pick up Mordor 2 or Spiderman? Destiny 2? Lots of your annual shooters but it sounds like you are bored with those.
I know you liked the Show. Any of those indie baseball titles interest you?
I'm playing The Show. One game a day, trying to work on sliders while plodding through spring training.
The only games I'm looking forward to are Friday the 13th and RDR2. I know I'll get a ton of mileage out of F13 and I should do the same with RDR2 (assuming it's as good as the PS3 one).
I just haven't had much interest in any games (including FIFA 17) for a very long time (more than a year). I'm not sure if I'm just getting old (heck, I'm not all that interested in watching sports anymore though I do) or if it's a phase or if I have lost interest or what.
Regardless, I'm looking forward to Friday the 13th. ☺
I don't watch sports as much either. It might be getting older but the over commercializations of sports doesn't help. Every stinking decision the NFL makes is about how to squeeze another dollar out of someone.
I was so impressed in the match I played at EA Play. This is going to be good.
The dude abides.
EA's response to their character unlock & progression system is now the most downvoted comment in Reddit history.
Basically, some characters (Darth Vader, for example) is believed to take 40+ hours of gameplay to unlock and/or (I believe) $80+ of microtransaction purchases for the possibility of doing so. I haven't followed the exact details the closest; only know the basics.
I understand why EA would lock some characters, but I think most people would differ on how long it should take to unlock. Part of the problem here is that in Star Wars virtually every character is iconic, making it easy to say 'why would you lock them?'
I had fun with the first game but I'm gonna pass on this. A quarter-million down votes is hilarious but if ram ever joined Reddit he'd crush that milestone in no time.
So much negativity over the pay to win scheme by EA. Waiting on this one and the kids are cool with that.
