If it’s anything like The Division then it could be feckin amazing. Although presumably Ubi will have to mind their P’s and Q’s when it comes to monetisation.

Brave I liked The Division but my biggest complaint was that the loot was all a bit dull. Slap a Star Wars skin on it and add some more interesting weapon types and abilities and I’ll be there day one.

So the EA deal for Star Wars games is coming to an end then. They have to be kicking themselves they didn’t manage to do more with it. Not that some of the games they made weren’t great, but the way they handled them left something to be desired and the potential of a really well done Star Wars game has to be massive.

Right now, all I’m thinking about is whether or not @SRR ’s head’s exploded yet. I reckon that’s pretty much dead centre in the old “Ralph likes these things” Venn diagram 😉

Getting quite a few 7s and 8s it seems and EG gave it a 2 out of 5. I might wait for a price drop.

That said the EG reviewer is Tapsell who’s not someone I particularly gravitate towards opinion-wise.

Brave

Alex I honestly think EG’s reviews have become largely worthless to me since Tapsell took over as reviews editor.

He’s negativity bias incarnate.

I think I styled that out.

I finished this a few days ago. I really enjoyed it. Scrappy but with a lot of heart.

Also much more inline with the Star Wars vibe than the souls-esque Jedi series.

The animation was beautiful and the level design was really well done.

While sometimes the bigger picture didn’t quite fit together it was chock full of brilliant little moments that more than compensated.

Alex Oh nice one, i need to get back into it, was enjoying it but then waited for a pro patch which has been done now I think. I was also getting a regular crash, hopefully gets rid of that too.
