This looks to be on sale over at Steam. I'm tempted to get this.
 
I have this on PS4 and have been tempted to pick get in on my PC as well to push the graphics. I think it’s a fantastic game with a solid story and super fun lightsaber action. Can be frustratingly difficult at times but that can be adjusted of course.

I'll occasionally subscribe for a month or two if they add a new game I want to try/play.

If I hadn't been super excited for Fallen Order and bought it on day one, I'd have waited for it to hit EA Play.

Thanks! I don’t know how long I’ll play Fallen Order, but good games I can easily play for a year or more. I’ve been playing Fallout 4 off and on since 2015.

Why would you subscribe to EA Play?

For me, I'm subscribing to XBox game pass and now includes EA Play, so while I am tempted for this game, I'll not be buying it as I'll have it available for me.

I just don’t like the idea of lose subscription lose access. I prefer ownership and as a rule, I detest the moves by software companies of all sorts to push subscriptions for their products.

I don't blame you, and I agree. I hate subscriptions but in certain situations and use scenarios they can make sense.

For me, I just signed up to 1Password's sub, simply because LastPass changed their free tier and it no longer supports multiplatform. Doing a bit of research, I quickly came to realization that I'd be better off paying 4 bucks a month.

On the game sub side of things, I have to say I'm really enjoying the xBox game pass, for me, its makes too much sense. I'll be getting an Xbox X and once i do that, I'll be upping my subscription tier to include that and I'll have access to so many games that it will pay for itself in what I play.

I think I was one of the last ones to sneak off with a subscription free 1 Password which I think is good through Mac Big Sur. :) I’m using System Mechanic for my PC utility maintenance and although a subscription, it’s cheap compared to the competition.

It is a good game. Good story and good game play.

I started it last night and I’m not condeming it, but the acrobatics your character has to do in the very beginning is ridiculous, while recognizing it’s presented so you get a better feel for the game mechanics. Very Laura Croftish. :)
 
I wanted to try Fallen Order but like Battlefront it just kind of seemed like a Star Wars skin over the top of stuff that already exists. I’ve been playing Squadrons almost exclusively since its release and I looooooove it. Truly a unique game among games.
 
I’ve played several sessions and while enjoying the star wars atmosphere, find I am getting a sore wrist playing with keyboard/mouse, enough to make me consider quitting it. My grandson suggested that I try it with a controller. Thoughts?

Are you playing that in VR? If so, I’m concerned about nausea.

Haven’t tried it yet, but I’m concerned too. Hopefully I can find a friend that’ll let me test drive before I drop the dough.

This game is CPU heavy. But it does look nice with everything maxed out.

Fun game so far.
