These Jedi: Survivor stats affirm that Star Wars followers are extremely boring

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor might need launched with vital efficiency points, however that hasn’t stopped the game proving enormously standard with followers of Star Wars and big-budget motion adventures alike. To offer you some sense of how far throughout the galaxy the game has reached, developer EA has launched a bunch of stats detailing gamers’ adventures on Koboh and past.

With an infographic, the EA Star Wars Twitter account revealed that gamers have been defeated by the game’s Rancor over 9 million occasions. This would possibly suggest they have not watched Return of the Jedi sufficient, however in equity, Cal Kestis would not have a helpful metallic door to drop on the creature’s neck. Unsurprisingly, the Rancor is a considerably higher fighter than Rick the Door Technician, though Jedi Survivor’s joke boss has nonetheless in some way managed to beat gamers 489 occasions.

The principle factor the numbers reveal, nonetheless, is that Star Wars followers are an austere kind with little persistence for whimsy. The most well-liked lightsaber stance was “single”, that means most gamers are batting Battle Droids in the usual lightsaber stance. By comparability, merely 8% of gamers are working round with a blaster, and solely 7% are getting their Kylo Ren on with the Crossguard stance, although it is value noting that these stances are unlocked later within the game, so gamers have much less likelihood to make use of them, and is perhaps much less inclined to maneuver away from a well-recognized playstyle. The desire for vanilla goes on, although: the preferred hair/beard mixture is “crew reduce/quick beard” and the preferred lightsaber color is “White”. In different phrases, gamers are doing nothing to change the Jedi Order’s fame for being a bunch of boring bastards (though white is technically a novel lightsaber coloration).

Survivor’s Jedi have been busy cleansing up the game’s varied aspect actions, nonetheless. In line with the stats, gamers have collected over 3 million bounties, received over 8 million rounds of holotactics, and planted greater than 15 million seeds within the backyard above Greez’s bar.

As part of the center aged dad contingent of Star Wars followers, I can relate to the choice to spend extra time gardening than bounty searching, however a minimum of I had a purple lightsaber and used all of the stances equally.

Enjoyable as utilizing these stats to make enjoyable of Star Wars followers could also be, the numbers do not actually get to the guts of what makes Jedi Survivor such an enchancment over the unique. That will be the mix of spectacular set-pieces with much-improved fight and platforming. As Morgan factors out in his assessment “Jedi: Survivor revisits an period when third-person motion video games had been designed like jungle-gyms… Respawn has resurrected the big-budget 3D platformer, and it is wonderful.” EA hasn’t launched particular gross sales figures as of but, however the firm final reported that the sequel had been pacing “very strongly” forward of Fallen Order, having been performed by “thousands and thousands”.
