Re: Star Wars: Force Unleashed (360/PS3)

Has anyone been experimenting with pressing directions in between button presses on the combos? I just started playing the demo yesterday, so I don't know if I'm late on this or what.

-the obvious thing, he can change direction in between each slash
-not as obvious, if you tap the direction twice, his animations change.

Here is an example(facing right):
X,X--slash slash
X >> X--slash, twirl saber, slash
X,X,X--slash, slash, overhead slash
X >> X, X--slash, twirl SBR, spin into saber combo

On the last combo, the point at which you press the button makes a difference. If you do it at a certain point, he'll do the normal overhead after the twirl. If you do it at a different point, he'll do the last combo I put in. It's a pretty awesome little fighting system.

Love these graphics too. This is an automatic purchase for me.

Nice, I have to try this.

What is the ">>" all about? Analog tap in that direction? Or D-Pad?

Analog tap in the direction you're facing.

So:
X, Right, Right, X

Make sure you go back to neutral before you start a new combo. He has a chain system of fighting, so if you do some fancy twirl thing, he holds on to that for a second.

LOL, I'm just playing the demo over and over at this point. So sad. Damn you Star Wars, I'm your bitch yet again.

When the demo first came out it was literally the only thing I played for a few days.

I went with the 3rd (which is the highest on the demo) difficulty level last night. I actually died inside the first big hanger. I found the game to be a little more fun when it was harder. I also love that I'm still discovering new combos.

Re: Star Wars: Force Unleashed (360/PS3)

I did the same thing. You're basically invincible on normal difficulty, and no game is fun like that for me. When the enemies actually do damage, you have to use the powers the way they're meant to be used, which adds depth to the game. It turns every situation into a problem solving puzzle.

The difficulties are really:
Very Easy
Easy
Normal
Hard

Because you pretty much cannot die on that second level of difficulty. It's smart on their behalf, because most people have too much pride to pick "easy" and learn the moves, then pick normal. I'd imagine on that first level you can just walk through the game until you got to the Walker at the end.

EDIT! I have to correct myself about those combos. I did it like fifty times to make sure, too. It's not the tapping of the direction, but the time delay you take between button presses that determines the combo change.

so rather than X, >, >, X
It would be X, (wait), X

Re: Star Wars: Force Unleashed (360/PS3)

Pretty fun demo but I wonder if the game is just going to be "easy easy easy ZOMG why is this boss killing me so easily, easy easy easy, boss" I'm sure it was just that difficulty, but I never felt any sort of vulnerable until I hit the AT-AT and then it was all over and I died fairly fast. I prefer a more balanced game, I want to have to work for a boss, but sucks when they're way different than the rest of the game. It's like the rest of the game doesn't train you at all I guess.

I wish they had more of a tutorial explaining moves other than grip. I'm sure knowing more moves would help, but I have no clue what I should be doing...if they want us to see how awesome a game is then explain the best way to play.

I was on the middle of the 3 selectable difficulties...fyi

I think the demo is a blast. I believe the game will be repetitive...destroy destroy destroy, boss...but hopefully the different worlds will break up on the monotony.

I like the graphics, love Star Wars, and who doesn't want to work for Vader?

That would be an interesting job interview for sure.

Re: Star Wars: Force Unleashed (360/PS3)

What is you guys favorite technique to use on enemies?

Mine would have to be the lightning grenade its a great crowd clearer.

And just for those that don't know what the lightning grenade is, its when you pick up an object or an enemie with the force then shock it with electricity.

From there you can use it as grenade so if you throw at a group of enemies it shocks them all at the same time.

I've noticed its a great technique to use if you can't find any of the exploding barrels.

Re: Star Wars: Force Unleashed (360/PS3)

I plan on getting both the PSP and the PS2 games. The PSP has 5 classic scenes from the movies that you can play out, and the PS2 has PS2- specific levels with new Sith Lords apparently.

And although no euphoria on the PS2, they still are pushing the PS2 to the limit in many ways.

Re: Star Wars: Force Unleashed (360/PS3)

I really hope that Darth Maul is unlockable. Has anyone heard anything on unlockables.

**MissStFan87** · 08-26-2008, 06:45 PM

Re: Star Wars: Force Unleashed (360/PS3)

That would be fun. But Darth Maul is dead at this point.

Definitely my favorite technique so far. That and "curving" the force dash towards an enemy. It throws their targeting WAY off, and looks like your dodging raindrops when you slip between the lasers.

Re: Star Wars: Force Unleashed (360/PS3)

I'm going to have to try that out Born.

Man I'm loving this game so far can wait to play the full game to see the rest of Starkiller's arsenal of moves.
