So, I FINALLY picked this up for Xbox1 (my PC can't handle the game). It's not bad. I'm glad I got it cheap, though.
So far:
- I'm finding that there are some guys out there who are just a leeeeetle too good, or so it seems. I'm talking dudes who go, like, 58:3 in a Walker Assault round. Some of it could be the gear they have and their experience, but a lot of it seems to just be preternatural skill and a kind of sixth sense for where everyone is. I don't know if Xbox1 is prone to hacks, but it wouldn't surprise me if these guys used 'em.
- I also am kinda crappy at the game. I'm still getting the hang of the various weapons, but I'm finding that playing in FPS view (rather than TPS) helps a lot. I'm also LOVING the T-21 so far. Although I still haven't ranked up past about 11 or 12.
- I SUCK at Fighter Squadron and I don't know why. Likewise, I don't know why everyone else seems so much better than me. Any tips here? Particularly for those of us on consoles/using console controllers?
- I find playing as the heroes is a little...weird. Vader seems the easiest to use. Palpatine and Boba Fett are weirder for me. Can you use them in first person view? I kinda miss not being able to zoom with Fett's rifle. Haven't played as Han or much as Luke yet, but Leia seems fun.
- So far, my favorite modes are Walker Assualt, Turning Point, Blast, and HvV. I want to like Fighter Squadron, but I need to get a lot better at it.
