The game is damn perfect.
Everything about this game was incredible. This game was so great, I genuinely believe if every critic was a star wars fan, and played this game to completion, and finished the beautiful Point of No Return section they'd change their mind about this absolute masterpiece. Genuinely a Love letter to star wars from the developers. It isn't supposed to be a graphical masterpiece. it isn't supposed to be a ground breaking, inventive shooter. it isn't supposed to be GTA in space. You're a thief, not a killer. An outlaw, not a murderer. This game is its own thing, and people just had different expectations. Space gta wasn't promised. we didn't see murder in the trailers. We saw an incredible star wars experience. it is a unique star wars experience. an incredible game. There is no reason to hate on this game. It isn't supposed to be a standout billion dollar game. it's supposed to be a Star wars dream. A star wars reality outside Jedi and Sith. This is Star Wars, man.
One of the complaints I hear the most is that it's generic. Which annoys me. Every game since the beginning of time has taken aspects from other games. How do you expect an open world game to not be similar to other open world games? The combat is generic I've heard as well. What third person shooter doesn't have similar shooting to this, and they aren't considered generic. it's not a ground breaking doing something new game, but it kicks ass at what it is. I barely encountered any bugs, and bugs is genuinely the worst complaint I've ever seen. The game just came out, there's going to be bugs man.
So many people complain about it being a Generic Ubisoft game. It's literally only published by Ubisoft, it's made by the same people who made The Division games.
I've heard complaints about the repetitive nature of the lockpicking or slicing. You can literally turn the mini games for said things off. People complain that it's too easy, and combat is repetitive. Turn the difficulty to Max then, so you have to adapt and use the environment to adapt to every new encounter. Stealth is easy and generic I've heard. Simply make it harder then. Don't just sit in a bush and whistle. Change up your playstyle instead of critiquing something that you can change.
I will never get the hate. The story is amazing the game is amazing, Star wars is amazing. I love this game and always will.
