Sacred Symbols+, Episode XIX: Fallen Order Spoilercast and Review Discussion

I had issues downloading this too, but you can just download it from the actual post (failed 3 times prior to trying this). So trying going into the comments then downloading as this worked for me without having to uninstall the app

Hey guys. I just finished the story and am going to try get the platinum for this. I loved the game but wow... That map system is terrible. I am trying to get back to the Swap area on Dathomir and have been trying for almost an hour... Either the maps need fixing to allow way points to be set or they should be including fast travel. Anyway I just wanted to have a moan. Looking forward to hearing what the guys have to say about this game.

Paul Moss

Just got the platinum. Loved this game!

I got it to work. Just uninstalled and reinstalled the app.

Anthony J Sanchez

Anyone know why this won't play? All of the other podcasts work without any hiccups.

Anthony J Sanchez

It is funny, and weirdly a further explanation then what Stargate provides. I wonder what the rational was to even give it a name and how “common” was settled upon?

Peabody

Yeah, and I like how they simply call the language "common" in Star Wars.

Colin Moriarty

The level design certainly didn't blow me away, but I had no issue with it, either.

Colin Moriarty

Hey! Answered this in your other thread.

Colin Moriarty

Well, a good PC is a far cry from PS4 at this point. =)

Colin Moriarty

After the first few episodes of SG-1, all of the worlds just speak English without explanation. It would get really annoying, if that suspension of disbelief didn’t exist. I always took Star Wars that way, too.

Peabody

Game started off great for me but I've been completely spoiled by games on the Wii like Metroid Prime Trilogy to enjoy the level design it's just ..... "EEeeeH"

Hi Colin, Love the shows you guys are putting together, just wanted to make a suggestion which myself and a couple of my friends have commented on, so others may be thinking the same.. Is it possible that you can make non-spoiler full review podcasts on Sacred Symbols+ in the future ? I'd love to hear in-depth views from yourself and Chris on the latest games but am put off that everyone of these types of shows seems to be a spoilercast. Sometimes I make a decision on whether to get a game based on the opinions of you guys and others so don't want the game spoilt to find out this information. Would be an interesting one to put out to the audience to see what they think ? You both only tend to give brief reviews on games on the main podcast. Thanks. Dean Willicombe from the UK

Listening to your technical issues with Fallen Order, and I believe you, but this wasn't my experience. Aside from very minor pop-in and a few clipping issues (mostly to do with the light saber) it ran great for me. I ran it on PC and my rig is pretty powerful, so it maybe brute forced the issues away? But you spoke of loading issues and I ran it on a basic $20 7500rpm HDD and my load times were insanely quick. Actually, I was quite impressed with the load times, because I had the option of an SSD and didn't feel it needed it. Frame rate was rock solid too. Maybe it was just console optimization that was bad?

FellOni

That sounds fun, but... I really just wanna buy one. =D

Colin Moriarty

He sure did.

Colin Moriarty

Enjoy!

Colin Moriarty

Maybe you're just a lucky PC nerd.

Colin Moriarty

I'm positive there's plenty I missed, but as a Reformed Star Wars Fan, I kept up fine. Chris seemed to, too.

Colin Moriarty

I highly doubt EA wanted it to fail. If anything, they were probably desperate for a success. And they've found one!

Colin Moriarty

Could have been cool. Probably unneeded dev resources when time was clearly tight, though!

Colin Moriarty

Oh no.

Colin Moriarty

Cut the shit, Jeremy.

Colin Moriarty

Colin, I keep hearing you mention getting a suit of Scout Trooper armor. Do a little reading up on the 501st Legion. It's a Star Wars costuming club that does a ton of work for charity. They have a unit for Scouts and I'd be willing to bet they have a chapter in the Richmond area. They get together and help each other with their armor and all kinds of stuff. I've always wanted to join and still might one day.

Jason Stafford

Did Chris really just pronounce it “ E-wohn “ McGregor. Holy shit dude.

Anthony Longo

I needed this. Definitely gonna pick it up now

D'Ante Almo

Sad to hear you guys had so many technical issues with the game, that really sounds infuriating. I ended up playing this on PC and had 0 issues. Seems like maybe it was just not optimised enough for consoles?

Ycros

I'm so glad you guys enjoyed the narrative. I'm a huge fucking Star Wars nerd and by the end I was worried the story would've been lost on a lot of people. So much of this game's content draws from The Clone Wars, Rebels, Charles Soules' Darth Vader comic and Jeremy Barlow's Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir comic. I felt like this game was made for people like me, but I'm so happy other people enjoyed it too. Nice to hear people talking positively about Star Wars. Little side note, the fast travel situation is weird considering on Kashyyyk you can use the Shyyyo bird to fast travel back to the base of the tree.

Haydyn

You both keep saying it was rushed for the movie, but it’s not connected to it. Do you think EA could have given a short QA period because they wanted it to fail? They have said games like this are not wanted anymore. I obviously have no faith in EA and could see them trying to do things behind the scenes to sabotage the game.

Kramerica86

I wish the game would’ve let us fight, even if just for a little, darth vader like the first sister boss battle at the beginning and vader would be toying with you.

Alvin Banaag

Also, I’m sorry but I need to be pedantic. Saw is actually from The Clone Wars originally.

So according to Colin, this is “Goldilocks the Video Game” Not too this, not too that, but just right...

I can’t wait for the knockback episode on the new trilogy

I'm gonna work on the Plat this weekend. Hope you're feeling well!

Colin Moriarty

What is the reference!

Colin Moriarty

Oh, I either missed that or don't remember.

Colin Moriarty

Maybe we should give it a little flourish.

Colin Moriarty

It's so weird, because I'm watching The Crown's third season and there's an entire episode about the Welsh language and the Prince of Wales learning it and such. Good timing. =)

Colin Moriarty

We did it just for you.

Colin Moriarty

I listened to this while I was getting a root canal done this morning. Thanks for helping get me through that Also, shout out to Phil LaMarr. He did the voice for Vamp in the MGS series. He’s another MadTV alum Anyway, great episode and a pretty great game minus the technical issues. It’s a pretty easy Plat too

Will Hahn

In mass effect they all have translators built into all their gear. I’m a huge mass effect nerd but they actually explained that in game. It’s a old game so just wanted to give people a insite that it is cover why everyone understands Everyon in mass effect

Adamthm

The theme song need a plus of something.

Daniel Alcala

Shwmae boys, was just listening to the episode and was delighted to hear the mention Wales as a proud Welshman! However I was slightly disturbed at the butchering our beautiful language! You weren't actually too far off the mark. The pronounciation of the name "Llewellyn" is hard to type out, because the 'Ll' sound doesn't exist in English. The closest I can think of is 'Sh', but more from the back of the throat. Going by that logic it's pronounced. (throaty)Sh-eww-el-in. Or you can be a loser and anglicise 'Ll' to just the letter L. The name means something like a lion(llew)-like leader. It was also the name of the last prince of Wales before English conquest. The more you know. Keep the up the great work as always, and I hope you enjoyed 'The Crown' Colin :)

Bryn Findlay-Dykes

Great timing. I just finished it
