I legitimately wish I was making a comeback to the game itself. Maybe someday in the not too distant future. But for now I do not have the setup available to do so. I do miss the hell out of MB2, though. Many fond memories from a million years ago.
Eyyyyyyyyyy another familiar face from way way back. I'll be 32 in a few months, but I would love to play MB2 again in the not-too-distant future like I did when I was a freshman in high school. Still the best Star Wars game of all time.Welcome back Pilo
I see your powers have doubled since the last time we met.
I'm also sitting pretty at the ripe age of 30, but there's something amazing about MB2 that always manages to capture my imagination and excitement.
Luckily you don't need the biggest monster rig to run MB2
At least until we have RTX implemented in 2030.
Yeah. For me, though, half the buttons on my laptop keyboard don't work, the rig itself needs to be replaced just because it's dated and slowing down and it sits on my kitchen counter. So I'd need a computer that actually works and somewhere to sit comfortably and actually get something like that going. I'm so busy with my work and physical training that gaming takes up a very small chunk of my time, primarily on weekends, so it's hard to justify all that money at the moment. Especially living in California where money is scarce. Haha. Definitely something I don't want to wait too long to do though. Being back on these forums alone is giving me crazy nostalgia.Luckily you don't need the biggest monster rig to run MB2
Yeah, it boggles the mind that there hasn't been a game in 15 years that gives MB2 a run for its money. JKA got a worthy competitor with Fallen Order, but the lack of a multiplayer component still looms ever-present. There's not been a game after MB2 that captures the right vibe for SW combat.
I always look at Obi-wan vs Jango Fett as the benchmark on what Star Wars fights should feel like. MB2's the only one on the mark. Most games make lightsabers way too strong and elevate Jedi into god status. Looking at you Battlefront remakes.
We'll see. They may keep finding a way to botch it up. Even Fallen Order clearly was made on a very tight noose and Squadrons feels like it's built on top of SWBF2. They turned out okay more thanks to their developers rather than EA.
Yes, but for games published by EA they are both very good and not shameless money grabbers. And that's a VERY good sign based on EA's track record of being a terrible, terrible company that forces good developers to put out bad products. They initially continued that right out of the gate with Star Wars. But they went too far with Battlefront 2 and Disney smashed their dicks and it seems like they're legitimately too scared of Disney after that to worry about maximizing profits at the cost of quality. I just hope it continues and they don't get comfortable forcing their developers to make garbage again.Yeesh, from what I've heard California is borderline unlivable in terms of living expenses. Stories I've heard of Silicon Valley in particular boggle the mind. People are pooping more than ever on the streets of San Francisco Like this is some serious shit
But hey, you don't need to dedicate thousands of hours a day! Squeezing an hour or two here or there is all ya need to scratch the itch

Yeah, I'm a big fan of their up front and honest business models for Fallen Order and Squadrons. That's how I like to buy my games. I'll gladly pay that premium if I know I'll enjoy the game to some extent for say... 8-20 hours. If they can't put out the game at a 20-60€ price point and make a living out of it, maybe it is time to look at the game's scope and scale down. Release a bigger sequel on the same project foundation a year or two later if you want a grander scope.
I was hyped for squadrons' vr support. Turns out it is buggy and apparently doesnt go higher than 60 hz on vr glasses and that sucks ass for vr + fast paced combat. Glad I waited for the reviews first. I was almost already buying a hotas for this. Probably wont get this title if they don't fix this (sadly).
