KillerSlaw 10/30/19 8:25:32 AM #51:	I mean, I agree that it isn't a big deal and is a nitpick too. I'm just saying, it's weird to get upset that people might complain about this. It's a pretty noticeable thing and therefore of course people are going to complain about it. I'd also argue that I've seen plenty of people complain when swords/weapons that should dismember don't in other games too. To act as if this is a Star Wars centric complaint in general is just not true. --- Twitter ranks as one of the top three worst things to happen to humanity. <cite>KillerSlaw posted [p:929423318] in Why is no ...

spanky1 10/30/19 11:56:22 AM #55:	I dont remember dismemberment when Luke was slaughtering people on Jabas barge. Come on people. I mean I love star wars but get a grip. Every once in a while in a dramatic scene theres be a dismemberment, sure, like Luke and anakin and their limbs. But theres a reason droids were the main bad guys in the prequels. You cant just go around chopping up hundreds of dudes. Some people are losing perspective of what star wars is. It was always primarily aimed at a younger audience, and as a man in his 30s I'm okay with that. --- https://imgur.com/DCjoiZ0 https://www.deviantart.com/fuee/art/spanky1-811230163 <cite>spanky1 posted [p:929429802] in Why is no ...

CyricZ 10/30/19 12:36:11 PM #68:	When you get down to it, it also underlines the fact that maybe from a narrative standpoint lightsabers aren't meant to transfer well into video game mechanics. In the OT, the lightsaber was literally framed as an elegant weapon from a more civilized age. To watch it chop up enemies left and right would kind of tarnish that message and the idea of Jedi being monastic guardians of peace. When I was younger, I always thought Yoda and Palpatine were themselves beyond using lightsabers by choice, having gone further above in their respective teachings. Then we got the PT and lightsabers were in fact chopping things (droids) left and right like it was a video game, and Yoda and Palpy each had one of their own and I feel that's another knock against the PT from a personal standpoint. Anyway, that's my philosophical take on it. --- CyricZ <cite>CyricZ posted [p:929431198] in Why is no ...

Kitt 10/30/19 1:57:35 PM #82:	SixStringHero posted... Jedi Outcast, Academy and Force Unleashed II all had lightsaber dismemberment. There's no reason this shouldn't have that either. At the very least there is the visual burn/ cauterize effect left on the bodies when they are slashed in Fallen Order. I know Outcast and Academy had a very, very low chance at cutting a hand/arm off if you weren't using mods. But it's so infrequent, it hardly counts. I played through FUII once, a long time ago and I can't say I remember dismemberment. But if it did have it, it's just further proof that that's a pointless feature because it sure didn't enchanced that painfully mediocre game. Meanwhile, there are other Star Wars games where you can play with a lightsaber, but can't cut people up that most would consider far better. --- https://i.imgtc.com/4WH1b6j.gif https://i.imgtc.ws/vmNrCuM.gif https://i.imgtc.com/Ti7m7Ts.gif Dancing is Forbidden <cite>Kitt posted [p:929434411] in Why is no ...
