Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - Anyone Looking Forward to This Game?

[ICrappedMyPants | 302]

The game comes out next month and is developed by Respawn Entertainment (Titanfall, Apex Legends, former co-founders of Infinity Ward- Call of Duty)

I want a good new Star Wars game so badly, and based on the developer and what I’ve seen, this might be it.

Is anyone else excited for this game?

My excitement for the game has slowly ramped up over the past few weeks. There's always some hesitation because it's EA, but I love Respawn. While Apex Legends isn't my thing, Titanfall 2 is one of my favorite first person shooters ever, and was part of my recently newly discovered addiction - platinum trophies.

I hear it has some exploration and Souls-like elements, which is exciting to me. Again, there's always that looming fear any game from EA has. I can see them monetizing the heck out of that little droid that runs around with you - different skins, attachments, and the like.

If reviews are solid and the MTX isn't heinous, I'm in. Since it's not a multiplayer game, thankfully we don't have to worry about them adding loot boxes or season passes after launch... looking at you Black Ops 4.

I'm really looking forward to it but I won't buy it day one.
Hopefully it will have some kind of discount on Black Friday and then I will buy it.

I'm curious to see different environments from what they've showed us already.
The gameplay also looks very cool.

I want to be excited about Fallen Order, but it is EA. I will give it a bit and make sure it is worth a buy. Given that, from what I have seen so far the game does look pretty good. 

[ICrappedMyPants | 302]

I totally get the EA hesitation, I have reservations myself. However, I trust the publisher and what I’ve seen so far looks pretty good. I also like the time period of the game, I think it should be interesting exploring this part of the SW universe.

I just wish it was set in a more interesting section of the timeline.

Like when? I like the idea of being hunted down.

[Galdius | 1,516]

I would be even more interested if it was during the Old Republic.

But EA probably doesn't want another game competing with Mass Effect internally even thought Andromeda was not well received at all.

My guess is that we might see a game in that era around the time of the rumored movie.

I think the post-ROTS, pre-ANH period is a really interesting time for a Jedi game honestly. We have the Rebels TV series (and Solo) but not much from that era and the Inquisitors were some of the cooler things introduced in that imo, so a game where you are being hunted down sounds great.

 

I'm excited for it. The Jedi Knight games are some of my all time favorites so I already got my pre-order locked in. A little worried about EA but as long as they aren't having the same guy that wrote the BF2 campaign story we are probably in the clear.

I'm really excited and have been since it was announced. I fully trust respawn to deliver.

I agree that the post-Clone Wars, Pre-ANH time is one of the more interesting periods. I love the idea of being a sole survivor of Order 66 - literally everything and everyone that holds power in even the slightest form is a threat to you. 

Again, like others have said, EA being the publisher is scary. But I love APEX Legends and Dark Souls, so I am willing to bite on the hype. Not gonna be a Day 1 purchaser, but if the reviews are average or better, I will probably end up buying this game.

Gameplay looks good. Been a while since we've seen a AAA SWs game that's solo play only with a full on story. I'm hoping for a Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal on it.
