Welp, it's great so far. Binged the hell out of Fallen Order, so memory is fuzzy (watched a quick recap). Survivor already feels like it got a bigger budget!
Definitely have to binge this before TotK!
Playing on Grand Master, had my first death, and the game locked up at a black screen. Had to force close and relaunch, losing progress... Odd. Hope this isn't common!
Even on Grand Master, it's a bit too easy, like Fallen Order. Pulls some mechanics from Soulsbourne (like FO), and if memory serves... Feels better in this game, but parrying is just way too easy and forgiving to make this a metric to measure hardest difficulty.

I agree that it feels bigger budget. I haven’t gotten far (thanks to a crazy thunderstorm that knocked out our power last night), but I played for a bit, and the intro was quite good. I did have it crash once on me too, but that made me realize that there’s a nice option to turn on pressing x skips dialogue without skipping cutscenes themselves. The movement in this game is great. I’m glad it doesn’t have that solid, grounded feel that a lot of games have now where you move like you’re covered in armor. You can run, dodge, and attack quickly and even double jump with a little somersault in the air.

Several hours in, keeps getting better. Just got through a section that was 100% a throwback to Super Metroid teaching you how to do something.

Yah, had to turn on performance mode. That choppyness got super old. Sadly it only kinda helps, still some really bad framerate issues. Surprised they launched with this.

I saw a post on reddit about turning off a setting about usage sharing. And apparently this is fixing many performance issues for people on PS5. Not sure about PC or xbox. I also don't have the game myself. They said its in Pause > Settings > Extras

Wow, this seems to help, tremendously!
Thanks for the heads up!

Will wait for the $10 or less price point since game one is dirt cheap a lot. It wasn't that great and the combat was so super janky and..... not great. Plus,

Lol, I just switched to quality mode because I read that it may perform better despite being only 30 frames. I hear turning off the performance sharing option helps too. Unfortunately, the tearing and stuttering isn't something setting are going to fix. It's a flaw in the game they'll need to patch out.
EDIT- looks like someone else also posted about turning off the sharing thing.

A review I watched said that it wasn't necessary, but FO was pretty story heavy, while Survivor isn't, so you'll miss out and maybe not have an idea as to what's being discussed. FO you also start as a Padawan, so you more organically gain your skills and have that progression. Survivor you don't start back over without those learned skills and only add to them. So if you play Survivor before FO, you might not really want to revisit the first for those 2 reasons.

Eh, not particularly to be honest. You can catch up with a 5 minute youtube video. A whole lot of nothing ultimately happens in FO for the larger story.
Still, I'd probably still play FO first.

The good guys and bad guys are searching for a list of Jedi-sensitive kids to train, good guy gets it in the end and says JK LOL let's destroy the list and be on our merry way. That's the story.

I would play Fallen Order first... no matter what Kommie says it was a pretty good game and worth a playthrough. It has some drawbacks like lack of fast travel but still worth it. By the time you play through it maybe JS will have it's issues sorted out.

Looks like a massive patch is dropping tomorrow to fix performance issues.

Son of a dog. Twice now, I've died, and couldn't retrieve my body... Losing nearly a full level of xp each time. Shows the X on the map, but I died to one of the overgrown wookie type dudes, and attacking/killing them doesn't return my stuff.

Thanks @MrBean @Slickriven @Kommie
One more question, are any of you playing on a Series S? I thought I read somewhere that this game doesn't run well on the S.

PS5 as well got off Coursient and don't have any issues so far. I set it off performance mode and turned off sharing data as well. Chapter 1 was short 1.5 hours.

Minus the inability to retrieve my body (twice) and the occasional stutters... It's not horrible. Clearly annoying, but not game breaking (so far).
I'm enjoying it, but it's almost like they're trying to compete with elden ring and being bigger than it need be. Some of these later side quests just feel... Unnecessary. The flow and feel of the map is largely good but annoying that you can't fast travel without being at a meditation point. Just a fair amount of unnecessary hiking.
Ultimately this game is going to be twice as long as it should have been. Now I'm just feeling pressured to fly through it before TotK, but that's probably gonna require skipping a lot of the side questing which... I just can't do! Gonna come down to the wire here, haha.
