Last gameplay trailer. One of the bad guys being a f***ing Gen'Dai is going to be really interesting from a gameplay perspective. That's what Durge from the Clone Wars shorts and comics was. How do you defeat someone that's nearly impossible to kill? Also, I think Bacta Tank Guy is: {Spoiler}Not only a High Republic-era Jedi, but an Echani. Physically, he almost matches the physical description of an Echani to a T (near-Human people with pale skin and white hair, though his eyes appear to be more blue than silver). Echani are probably best well-known from the KOTOR games as combat experts who are a rival of the Mandalorians. Brianna the Handmaiden in KOTOR 2 was half-Echani.

The first game was good and now with chance to clean up and improve I have high expectations

I really enjoyed the first game. Enough to go back and collect everything/100 percent it. So I’m pretty positive I’ll like this one.

As long as it doesn't try to veer from what made the first game so good, I'll probably love this game. Some sequels really try to reinvent the wheel when it isn't necessary and end up being worse off for it.

Completed the tutorial level (which was much, much bigger than Bracca was in the first game. It had a legit boss battle in it and the main point was to get you used to some of the new force powers and platforming skills (grappling hook, wall jumping, and swinging on poles). Enjoying it so far.

You know how you can find yourself fighting enemies you are not ready for in some games? Yeah, that rancor from the trailer can be faced pretty early. The bastard literally two shotted me in the first 4 seconds of or fight. I need more Hp of better defense, I think.

My blood pressure raised enough during Elden Ring. I don't need that kind of stress anymore lol

I'm hearing a lot of talk about bugs and optimization issues with the PC port, which is disappointing but also not surprising given how PC ports of current gen games are treated as "release now, patch later" lately. Especially with how different RAM is structured in consoles compared to computers.
I'm almost certainly getting the PS5 or Xbox Series version of the game anyway. Even with video card prices calming down in the wake of the crypto crash and ignoring the optimization issues, it'd be cheaper to actually buy a PS5 or Series S/X console than to upgrade everything I'd need to to make this playable on recommended specs lol.

Well, found a glitch. I glitched through the door on the roof of Greez’s saloon. You’re supposed to be able to get it eventually, but I got in too early and can’t get back out since all 3 doors block me in.

I played the previous game at Jedi grand master level, but I’ve been playing too much Dark Souls lately and the muscle memory is messing me up. I keep trying to force pull when I want to party, force focus when I want to attack, I keep forgetting L3 is dash, and I keep going for backstabs when that isn’t a thing in this game. I can’t imagine how screwed I’d be at a higher difficulty.

Found a lovely early game grind loop in the meat factory, acquired 20 skill points before the end of the prologue chapter.
Lovely.

I quit out when I got trapped by a glitch. If when I continue I’m back behind the locked door I might restart and grind this time. I might also take more time to explore.

There’s no excuse for a game like this to perform as badly on PC as it is.
Might as well make it console only. Works fine there.

After having Merrin appear as a guest character and watching her wreck Imperials, plus new magik power problem solving abilities, I really wish she was a playable character. Add to that she looks fantastic. She did make a stark contrast to how I made Cal look as the long, windswept hair and full beard truly completes the look of a guy who has been fighting too long.
Also, the game gave me a twist that I did not see coming.

Wouldn't mind a split protagonist thing like God of War Ragnarok with her and Cal.

I find the open-word collectible fetch-quest video game-y aspects of play in SW:JS to be more... annoying? Eye-rolling? Tedious? this go-around compared to the last game.
