There's actually another 5 days till it releases, but I have no idea when the review embargo lifts.

Avatar Frontiers of Pandora was awesome and immersive but it really sucked outside of that. I think Star Wars will be worse in many ways but I can't imagine it having a worse story. Plus game reviewers are more likely to be star wars nerds so that's why I expect it to review better than Avatar.

Better reviews than Avatar and I enjoyed that one.

I'm actually a bit shocked. It seemed pretty good.

What are the general complaints? I can imagine story being one of them

i'm going into the game fresh, but I'm betting its mostly cause its still a Ubi game at its core.  They have beat their formula to death in their games and it needs a shake up.

But i don't know what the complaints are though.  Thats my guess at least.

I am still day one but it seems evident based on this and Avatar Massive are incredible at creating immersive, fun and visually appealing worlds with solid gameplay but pretty terrible stories and some rigid missions.

I won't play at launch but I like playing games blind too so I'm also avoiding reading reviews.

So did anyone play it? I've seen a lot of clips here and there that make the metacritic seem way too high.

I started it but switched to Astro bot but need to start back into it. I was enjoying it a lot. Theres some odd decisions and bugs here and there but overall it's pretty good. It looks great too

[BananaKing]

I haven't played it. But from what I've heard and seen, it seems like a great base for a sequel. You could probably have an uncharted 2 moment with a sequel

didn't even consider playing it.  star wars is the worst and i don't want to spend 1 minute in that world even if the game itself was good.
