Lightsaber is more like a club. And this dude's reflexes are shit. Should be able to cancel your attack and move directly into a block. He doesn't feel like a jedi at all. I know they were just copying dark souls but maybe that wasn't the best for this kind of game.

Again, I enjoy it. I like dark souls. But I don't feel like a badass jedi slowly whittling down the health of these enemies instead of just cutting them in half.

Haven't played, but from your description it sounds like how other games have handled lightsabers. I haven't seen a video game do it right yet.

I dont understand why the lightsaber functioning that way is so hard to grasp. Its the same as literally every single Star Wars game. People are incredibly nostalgic for games like Battlefront 2 and The Force Unleashed but the same exact thing happens in those games as well as the new Battlefront 2. Its called a videogame. Besides its not like most basic troopers dont get killed in a 1-2 hits which is more than the Force Unleashed can say.

Anyway, hes a padawan. Youre not supposed to feel like a badass Jedi until the end.

Lightsabers are so OP, would a game that treated them like the lore be any fun? It'd be like Dynasty Warriors.

yeah I don't get what else people expect from lightsaber combat

You will never have a SW game where you or enemies die after 1 lightsaber hit and there's limbs flying off and people getting sliced apart constantly

Like wtf

Fallen Order does a decent job with shock troopers being able to block the light saber. The challenge should be in finding the opening and striking. Not smacking enemies around until they fall over.

To be fair, Force Unleashed 2 did have flying limbs

There are a decent amount of enemies that are like that.

And Cal isn't supposed to be a badass Jedi. He's a Padawan, was in the middle of training when everything went to shit, and has been hiding for quite some time without practicing or even reaching out to the Force. Of course he's not exactly skilled.

Yeah, I follow. I love Respawn and Dark Souls, so I want to play FO, but I've been avoiding for pretty much what you're saying.

If the saber functioned like a saber there is no challenge regardless. Shock Troopers do not have the reflexes to block fast enough. Oh but they can hold their baton up! Cool well youd just be able to swipe their legs. They cant react to that. The only reason Jedi and Sith can is because of the force guiding them. Youll only find challenge at when fighting elite trained enemies specifically trained in Jedi combat which at that point were already talking about Purge Troopers which should only be seen few and far between.

Logically the only way you have lightsaber combat function realistically would be if the game was set in the Old Republic, with Jedi and Sith running around everywhere, and with For Honor style combat, but any single strike defeats your enemy. That game will never be made.

Again. It's a fun game. I'd recommend it if you like Dark Souls. There's just this weird disconnect between the gameplay and how a jedi should function. There's that slow kinda weight behind his movements that makes sense in a Dark Souls game when you're a knight clad in armor that just feels off when you're playing a jedi.

how a jedi should function

I disagree, especially in late game stuff i felt like this game is perfect for what a jedi should do. The amount of options you have to fight with. Killing people with the different blade styles, the environment or the force was fun.

Cal absolutely feels like a young jedi especially when you run into the last boss and you feel absolutely useless

Just think. Now you're all set to hunt and kill to your heart's content.
