Frankly, I'm more interested in the story than anything else. Which is why I loved Bioshock so much. An INCREDIBLE story (I still think of how crazy it was) gave it a 9/10 from me alone, but the gameplay added on simply made it one of my favorite games of all time.

Barring it's not total shit (which I highly, highly doubt) then I'll be very pleased with it, I'm guessing.

Just another few things I noticed while playing through it a few more times:

I don't like the way the TIE's in the hangar explode then vanish no matter what you do with them. Throw them across the room they explode+vanish (ok), place them on the ground then let go they explode+vanish (err). Why can't I hurl them across the room and see them dent and crumple when they hit the wall and then crash into the ground in a pile of twisted metal.

ARGH! WHY is that goddam limit on your force powers there. I know there needs to be some sort of limit, after all, grabbing the 'unlimited force power' powerup in the hangar basically makes you into an unstoppable force for a minute or so, however, the force grab should not be limited like that. It's so irritating having to stand there and wait 10 seconds before you can grab something again. It adds nothing to the game and just breaks up the flow.

I love the grab + lightsaber throw combo. Especially when I then move the guy around other enemies while it's still in him and they all die instantly too.

I like the way if you hold a guy in front of you for a while he fires a few shots at you. What I don't like though is the way that if you hold a rebel and move him about he'll say things like 'help' and 'no'. If you then put him down he just starts shooting at you again. I don't know, I just think if you do that sort of thing they should either run away or something. It seems very unrealistic for someone to plead for their life, be put down again, shoot you again at point blank range, be picked up, etc etc.

The movement feels rubbish. Just in general. Try jumping to the top of the crashed shuttle or onto one of the metal walkways from the hangar floor. It's not hard to do, but it feels terrible and completely lacks any sort of precision. I hope there aren't any jumping puzzles in the game .

I noticed you can dent heaps of wall panels in the corridors. This just reinforces my belief that this is a missed opportunity of a game. The technology is there but it's just not used in gameplay! They could've made something incredible!

Overall. Hmm. I was really looking foward to this ever since they first showed videos of the material technology and the AI technology, but this demo was a complete turn off. For all the reasons I mentioned and maybe a few more that i can't remember.

HUUUUUUUUUUGE gameplay blowout from Gamestop. Over an hour of gameplay on the 360, PS3 and Wii! The reviews might not be that great, but again...it's the story that pulls me in.

Hmm, I played the demo, pretty underwhelmed. There wre some nice touches, but the controls are just too unnaural, plus lock-on is absolute turd. I'm standing next to a guy who is shooting at me, try to lock on and target the fricken barrel 10 feet to his left!

Well, to be fair, I'm not a "die hard must play everything with Star Wars on it" kinda guy and I'm fucking pumped. I only loved the movies and some of the games, that's it. I don't get THAT involved.

I´m so pissed, that is doesn´t come for PC. I´m a fuckin die hard msut play everything with star wars in it and this looks so damn cool. Freakin´ capitalistic console mafia and there policy bullshit! I WANT THIS ONE!!

I´m waiting ages for the next Jedi Knight, which most likely never comes. Or a Kotor successor. Or at least the cut out content from Kotor II.

The way Vaders Apprentice holds the lightsaber is so fucking cool. Good damn racist system, PC players are equal to the damn consolieros! FFS, after a long time a cool, action oriented star wars game comes out and then they just shit on the PC medium. NO, I´m not falling for this psychologic trick and I´m not gonna buy a damn console for hundreds of bucks. How the fuck am I supposed to download porn with a console??? God damnit. Well, guess I play Kotor again, following the dark path. damn.

It really isnt very good you know. Reviews are all average. So much wasted potential.

I don't think you're realizing that most people are getting it for the story first, gameplay second.

And actually, the reviews aren't that horrible. It just got an 8.5 from Pelit which isn't bad. This is a game (and on a very rare occurance) that I WON'T be listening to the critic reviews, unless they truly say it's a horrible game and one of the worst of this year...which I doubt.

That goes to Mercs 2.

Well you know i'd quite like to see how the story pans out too. I think it's gonna be pretty cool to know what goes on in between the films.

However i'm not spending £40 ($80) for the experience. Especially when the actual gameplay is of so low quality (IMO - demo experience).

Poseidon must really be a hardcore fan if it's all about Story first and foremost. It's one of those games that's for fans only, which is a shame because it had more potential than that.

Might be. But what pisses me off is the inability to make up my own mind, cause it´s not coming for PC. And if critics kill it, chances are, hidden plans to port it will be scratched out completely. Damn anti-pc communistracists!

I'd rather discuss the fact that while so many 'Dark Forces' series games were PC, for some reason this was decided to be console only.

My thought:

Bull-fucking-shit. Give us another Jedi Knight game. Otherwise, you can go unleash some force up your bungholes.

your You're pretty much a noob by for saying something like that.

Unless there's a port in the future for this game or a similar one in the works for the PC, I fail to see any relevance to that comment. If you're still sore about it, buy me a console and we'll call it even.

Wanna talk noob? Let's correct your grammar (above).

Not really. I saw all the movies but I never really got into it past that.

But this is part of the storyline, as opposed to most (if not all) other Star Wars games. It's going to connect some things in between the 3rd and 4th. That's why the storyline pulls me in.

It's going to sell in hordes just because of all the fans of the Star Wars saga.
