star wars games before the dark souls one were held back by them being so referential to the movies. fallen order really sets itself apart by referencing other things instead, like what if uncharted had a pastier white boy who was a bit swaggy with the force and also soulsy with it.
I didn't vibe with it because I just don't vibe with star wars (well the game was also mid but mostly it's that—if it was a great game I still wouldn't have liked it). I didn't grow up with it (I had one star wars merch as a kid and it was like a set of lenticular pogs), so I have no nostalgia for it. I know about it as much as any fan though because the osmosis is too pervasive. Also because theyre baby movies for toddlers so there's not much to figure out
geoff keighley voice is anyone excited about the sequel? 😀
