Thoughts on Cal Kestis?

Thoughts on Cal Kestis?

For about half of his first game I thought "Wow I'm enjoying a Star Wars game. Feels like it's been awhile." I never beat it. Haven't touched the second. Getting lightsaber+gun looks neato.

Who?

Basic Star Wars dude protagonist.

Disney already wants to use him in their movies because they know he's more liked than any of their own movie/TV characters

Jedi: Fallen Order was the only game I 100%'d. Looking forward to playing Survivor. Cal is my ginga.

i hate how he cant give in to the dark side yet he is still a weakling. isnt even jedi master level

He's no Starkiller but he will do.

I'm not playing a game starring some ugly ginger

Why does Lucasarts have such a boner for the 2/1 and 1/2 syllable naming convention?

Cal Kestis

Kyle Katarn

Kit Fisto

Mace Windu

Boba Fett

Mara Jade

Mentally handicapped sociopath.

Chases Dagan Gera to Tanallor

Dagan rambles on about Tanallor whole fucking game

Cal kills Dagan

Dagan barely lays dead for 40 seconds

"Damn, i think Dagan was right the whole time!"

He's a decent lad. Shame he's trapped in such boring ass games with a terrible supporting cast.
Reminds me of Donglover Calrissian in the wasted potential sense.

Extremely uninspiring character design in a game I have 0 interest in buying or playing.

is this an actual question? Phonetics has been studied even before the year of lord Jesus Christ

i only played the first game but i enjoyed it, he was just a competent guy, don't remember him having much of a character though

starkiller mogs

The only good thing about this era of Disney Star Wars. And I dread how they're going to fuck him up in either the third game, or when Disney eventually has him show up in the movies.

played by an actor autistically obsessed with Star Wars

It adds up

The actor who played Starkiller also played Darth Maul in the clone wars cartoon.

Debra's disciple

i hate how people compare him and cassian to kyle. they're nothing like kyle, stop pretending.

He's not amazingly written or anything but he's not bad either, he is miles better than anything from the disney era though. I really hope they actually do something with him and the dark side in the next game. At least an end game choice that determines the ending like in Jedi Academy.

I still remember all the libshit trannies on twitter and tumblr crying about him after the reveal in 2019. God, that first Trump era was a nightmare.

I thought it was funny the devs desperately wanted him to be a woman, but pussied out at the last minute because every single Disney character up until that point was a woman.

Wait, is Cal really the only new white male protagonist since Disney bought the IP?

If he doesn't full on embrace the dark side in the third game, then their entire narrative with Cal is a failure.

He's pretty basic, which is overall a good thing. He's one of the best things to come out of anything Star Wars since the Disney acquisition. His games are fun, which helps

He’s ok, I like his growth so far and was surprised he could use some the Dark Side on the second game, gives me hope for some Force Lightning+Lighsaber style for the third game.

He also played this random trooper in one scene in Andor

Why would you ever be a Jedi cuck when Sith are so much fucking cooler?

Because Darth Bane fucked it all up by saying there can only be 2 sith at a time.

I get the feeling that they're gonna kill him off in the 3rd game at some point and make Bode's daughter the main protag going forward

Sith became more powerful than ever when there were only 2 sith

Bane was right

Because I don't feel like being murdered by the secret apprentice (and his secret apprentice) I raised after he helped me kill my master in order to perpetuate an endless cycle of retarded faggots having secret apprentices that betray their masters.

Would mog and heem the shit out of any nuDisney Star Wars slop movie character.

Well unless you're Vader or Palpatine you can't have a really cool oc sith lord, so jedi cuck it is.

Kind of a wuss but he turned around. Similar to Luke I guess. I didn't expect to like the first game as much as I did, waiting for a sale for the second one. I have no idea what their titles are they're so generic.

In terns of power:
Starkiller > Jaden Korr > Kyle Katarn > Cal Kestis

Have played the KOTOR games enough to know where Revan and The Exile stand

Decent character in two great games with stories ahead of any Star Wars game other than maybe KOTOR.

I think they canonically hoard all the dark side for themselves or something, that's why Sith is a joke in TOR games but menace in 2 sith era.

Cal should just do as Starkiller did and embrace both the mercy and understanding of the Jedi while knowing that sometimes the ruthless brutality of a Sith is necessary

it expands to how George Lucas directed the films. George felt that speech was firsst and formost sound, and every slightly awkward, overembelished delivery was designed so that people watching who couldn't speak the language would still understand what was going on because the words SOUND like what they're conveying
extending this to the naming convention, every name similarly sounds like their role in the story. Even if you'd never heard of Star Wars before the very sound of a name like Darth Vader conveys power and fear, Luke Skywalker conveys hope, Mace Windu conveys a sense of wisdom, etc.
On examination of the sound of Cal Kestis, I'd say it conveys focus, encouraging the player to keep aware of their surrounding and being mindful of what is said

Starkiller is comically broken. Like fanficition self insert ridiculous.

His Jedi power being to read the history of objects was neat, and used well, especially when an opponent weaponized it against him.

he has a good actor
little off topic but i preferred the first game to the 2nd story wise, bode just never really clicked with me so him dipping didn't really feel as personal

His eyes are far apart

He sorta has. I'm hoping that they explore the dark side in the third game.

and that's why he's awesome, leave grounded characters to novels or tv series, video games should be cool

It depends on if your considering their power off gameplay or lore. By gameplay Revan would probably be at the bottom and the exile would be at the top. By lore Revan is at the top and the Exile would be around average.

That's the same thing Luke does. In Return he's clad in all black but it's contrasted by the green light saber. He's in full balance of the dark and light. It's the only way of a true master of the Force. It's why Anakin/Vader mogged

Luke "I can't kill my dad" Skywalker

ruthless

Come on now anon. He's my absolute favorite Star Wars character but his entire characterization is about mercy first and foremost. He only wore black to be fashionable

Anyone else find it funny how one of the only successful things under a Disney Star Wars obsessed with diversity, are the ones that star men as leads?

I like the gray jedi's and Cal's a pretty cool one. His blaster/saber style is fun as hell, also enjoyed that survivor has you start with all your fallen order toys.

It's Kyle Katarn all over again.

Why do nuJedi don't use hoods and robes?

Erm that's a shoretrooper sweetie

Even if they do have him show up, he doomed to die when Kylo turns to the darkside and destroys lukes jedi temple. The Last Jedi made it so that only Rey can save and restore the Jedi Order. And given fans don't like her character (more for what she represents than anything she actually did in the story that was offensive) that's a recipe for another flop.

Kyle got snubbed though and Jan Or- sorry Jyn Erso got her movie.

Jedi Survivor did the impossible. It actually made the woke trashfire the High Republic actually look fun and interesting.

It mean it makes sense, most women don't even like Star Wars. The Sci-Fi genre in general is not even something women typically enjoy unless you throw in tons of relationship drama and romance

Kyle was a casualty of the extended universe genocide when Disney bought the franchise. Granted, some parts of the EU absolutely deserved to be culled.

In what way?

Crying shame. I would have loved to see an adaptation of some of the Zombie stories.

The only reason Kennedy and EA even let Respawn have as much creative control over Fallen Order/Survivor as they did is because they didn't expect much. But now that it's actually a hit, they're probably going to stick their fingers in and ruin it with either the third game, or when Cal eventually does show up in the Disney+ show.

here's your nuStar Wars love interest bro

Merrin.jpg - 3000x3000, 1.13M

She's fine and a tsun.

Loamtrooper

Is breeding alienussy based or cringe?

Some retarded cunt wrote a book about the characters of these games

Made Merrin a lesbian in it and makes her act retarded

Only calms down after fucking some female imperial officer

Respawn wisely ignores this

Pretty based desu

Is survivor worth playing? I reasonably enjoyed the first one, I wish it wasn't a "souls" game though and had patrols, more random enemy groups etc. it's on sale atm so was thinking of trying it.

Yea? She's cute and has her own personality. She's also strong in a way that compliments Cal instead a way that knocks him down in order to lift her up.
Literally nobody likes the retarded bitch that wrote that book.

Because everyone who played the first game wanted Cal and Merrin to be a thing.

I've been playing it, and I think it's really good. Definitely a hell of a lot better than that DEI Ubisoft slop that they shit out recently.

Jedi Game

Can't wear Jedi Robes

Why

He's an alright dude, shame he's probably going to fucking die in the third game.

They made her slightly uglier in the sequel. Probably because Kennedy and EA said so.

For me? First Act Syndrome. Pretty fun clearing the first planet and then the villain reveal was so lame I just didn't give a fuck anymore by the time I hit the second planet.

because they're gay

This game looks like it was made just to justify the existance of the High Republic stuff that nobody in the world asked for

I'm tired of shitty ass celebrities being in video games. What if he turns out to be some pedophile or some other imbecile later in his life?

Why did I have to grow up with the most forgotten Star Wars vidya character?

Her and Grievous are basically a private apology from Filoni and whatever losers work on Star Wars any more for creating the entire stupid Night Sisters plot. Her being the last one to survive is proof enough something good at least ONCE had to come out of that terrible plot line.

Post-Order 66, you can really only see Cal wearing the robes in a flash back. That being said, Cal can wear Jedi Robes in Jedi Survivor

cringe who cares about that

Jedi hoods and robes are cool as fuck shut up loser

lol shovel chin

that's just, like your opinion man

Post-Order 66

Man i absolutely hate that after Disney bought Star Wars everything MUST be set between Ep 3 and 4. I miss The Old Republic era of Star Wars.
youtu.be/Nzq9epS2b1A?si=E9AgH9nmBRbYXen4

I fucking hate hasbro, don't know where they got the fucking face from but it's definitely not the game one everyone thinks of first.

bathrobes and towelhoods are cool

lmao

His name sounds like a disease

blind buy the book before vetting it

read about 1/4 of the way and become disgusted

check the spine and discover the author

I realize I have no one to blame but myself but I still feel fooled.

Monkhood is an absolute no no if you're trying to appeal to a female audience, which is why they fucked up Luke in the sequel trilogy rather than letting him reform the Jedi Order.

Well I dunno, maybe he might have so I thought I'd inform him.

that first Trump era was a nightmare

This one isn't?

Not at all.

She's a lesbian btw.

Why the fuck did they make him look like Nathan Fillion?

Not canon.

The saber & blaster stance is pretty kino. I did like how the sequel gives you more customisation options as well, I spent a good amount of the game going around with the mullet & creep 'stache combo.

that's what I love about these padawan girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age

I wish it was Gal Kestis, I want to play a hot red head girl that gets sweaty

Thoughts on Kay Vess?

Kay_Vess.png - 598x757, 597.5K

sabotaged

I'll tell you once I can pirate her game.

I don't mind them adding Kata as Cal's apprentice but if it means him and Merrin don't have a child together I'll be a bit annoyed if nothing else for sheer curiosity of what a jedi + night sister offspring combo makes

kek based
everyone should play the warriors game btw

this literally happens in the 2nd game near the end

2nd games customization is a lot better than the 1st

1st game had like 50 colour swapped vests or ponchos while the 2nd has completely different weapons, armours, jackets etc. with individual colour variants for each

I went in with an open mind and could not get past the fist hour of the game

It's so fucking boring
Are all modern Ubisoft games like this?
I stopped playing them around 2014 because they were literally all the same fucking game with a few extra steps

The 3rd game is definitely going to do a big time skip to fuck with people's expectations. Its going to be set after Episode 6.

But does this Survivor have a poncho

It feels inevitable that it will end with Cal's death. My hope is that Cal just decides to embrace the life that he has and fucks off to some remote corner of the galaxy with the people he cares about, but he's probably going to die.

I wonder how the ownership of this character works. Like can EA stop Disney from using Cal in tv shows and movies?

I'm pretty sure there's a poncho outfit of some sort in Survivor, but you don't get it for a while if I remember right.

is the sequel worth it for 18 buckos on steam?

Gameplay wise yeah but the game is still horribly optimised

The funny thing when they make video game Jedis is that they always end up being so OP compared to the movie ones. Both Cal and Starkiller are so OP is crazy. I have to assume Cal will get stuff like force lightning in the 3rd game too among other new powers.

If you liked the first one and it's cheap enough for you, probably. The story's maybe not as good as the first (mostly owing to the High Republic stuff) and some of the minor side characters are annoying but other than that it's still okay.

Since he taps into the dark side towards the end of the second game it's pretty much a given for the third at this point.

yeah especially for that price. its much more of a metroid style world, with parts you'll see early on that you don't have access to yet. much more variety in terms of level design. (avoid collecting plants, they are utterly fucking useless)

respawn doesn't even let you traverse their "open world" game in non linear manner and you're hoping for a dark side ending?
they're fully "modern gaming" brained. expect a lecture in the next game about how you're a bad person if you do even the smallest dark side related thing.
i'm just hoping they put in force lightning personally i'll just skip all the cutscenes nagging me telling me i'm a bad person for using it

The villain in the 2nd game isnt even a villian. He was going to go kill Vader and the Emperor but we stop him for ??????? reasons

Pretty sure Disney owns the characters since they're plastering BD1 droids everywhere in their shows and movies Which makes sense it's the best droid design of the Disney era and they often will pluck random fucking characters out of their books/comics and put them into Disney shows including some where the authours had falling outs with Disney so it's likely a similar situation ownership wise

Because they're pathetic heroin junkies

you just don't get it man it is super

BD1 is so cool and cute, it makes BB8 look so lame in comparison. the amount of effort they put into all its little animations is neat.

Considering Disney is ideologically motivated to turn the Jedi into the bad guys? Makes sense more people would side with the Sith nowadays.

Rofl

Wife.

He wore black because it was originally what George imagined the Jedi uniform to be. Obi-wan was just wearing a desert robe to blend in with the rustics on Tatooine.

100% First game after buying it on the sale, back tracking for items was so fucking tedious without fast travel. saber combat is kino, on the the next game.
