Well, since the topic has been annihilated. Here we go.
I picked up Force Unleashed on Friday, last night I started fighting Darth Vader for the final level. After several retarded glitches and screw-ups, I stopped playing for the night.
Which brings me to my main concern with SW:FU.
The game wasn't ready. It really does seem like we ended up paying $60 for a game that should have been left in the oven for a few more months.
I die several times in the game. But the game poses no challenge what-so-ever. It's not hard, it's glitchy.
Opponents have a tendency to knock you over, half the time you either go skidding across the ground(for a ridiculously long way mind you) with no ability to do anything at all while the other opponents continually hammer you with lasers, missiles and Ewoks.
Other opponents get stuck running up against nothing, or stacked boxes. So much for the "magnificent" A.I. we were promised.
"Oh hell yeah, when I get picked up with force powers, I'll totally grab onto something to try and save myself."
"So, uh, what are you doing now?"
"Um...running into boxes"
"Why?"
"Well with all my force particular programming, that left out any room to program in any common sense."
Honestly, it does get ridiculous ever now and again.
Further more, the story, it doesn't seem long enough, it seems rushed.
-Spoilers- If you read past this, you lose any ability to bitch about me ruining **** for you.
They kill off Shaak Ti. I mean, what the hell. I though we were supposed to be able to be either good or evil in a bootleg type KOTR system.
But no, it all boils down to the only choice, at the end of the game, to kill Darth Vader for revenge or go to kill the Emperor.
Not to mention the glaring pothole of you kicking the @#$% out of General Khota, turning him into a blind drunkard only to seek him out on Cloud City for him to help you start a rebellion. Khota refuses to do anything because he's can't do anything, because the whole blind thing, and he apparently lost his connection to the force.
But he says nothing about the fact that the person he's helping, is also the guy who a few days or weeks earlier stomped the snot out of him.
Well I haven't beaten the game yet, maybe we get some closure other than the fact that Starkiller ended up starting the rebellion under Darth Vaders orders, but it's ok, since Darth Vader betrayed him twice now, he has no plans to help Darth Vader any longer so he decides to rescue Bail Organa, Mon Mothma and General Garm from the Death Star where Bail Organa was seen by the Emperor as one of the founders of the rebel alliance.
And for some reason the Emperor decided to let him stay in the Senate along with his daughter instead of just carpet bombing Alderaan after all is said and done?
My only other gripe is that the lightsaber acts like a lightsaber, against everything and nothing. It will cut, slice, and stab, but nothing falls apart gets burned, or anything like that.
Don't get me wrong, the game is good. But look at it like the first Fable. Everything we were promised vs Everything we got.
