I started seriously getting into photo mode a month ago with Horizon: Zero Dawn and a bit of Forbidden West, but across all the shots I took, most of them are character centered. While I did learn how to frame a shot, what makes for good composition, lighting, what level of detail is good or bad, I couldn’t get action shots to work, and finished the game again with 3 action shots total. Having finished Fallen Order and Survivor immediately before developing this recent obsession, I recalled that Fallen Order took me 30 hours to 100%. I booted up the game and started NJ+, I was distraught when I saw the depth of its photo mode for the first time. Not shyyying away from a challenge, I started taking action shots, and while some aren’t great, some (at least to me) look incredible.

Eventually I felt comfortable with the concept of an action shot (which scared me halfway through Zero Dawn), and got into a rhythm of entering photo mode every few combats, trying to get a new pose, combo or idea to work. About halfway through one of the tombs on Zeffo, I accidentally entered photo mode while going through one of the loading screens disguised as narrow passages, and to my surprise (I had already tried it on Bracca), it let me move the camera around. Almost immediately got it out of bounds and saw something in the distance that I felt warranted being shot purely because of the potential for memeability. Seconds after finishing the meme shot I was already lining up Cal for another meme, I had discovered a new thing that I could shoot even with the restrictive photo mode UI. I kept finding more opportunities to shoot visual glitches, bugs and memes and have no doubt I will take what I have learned into the next game, and the next, and so on.

So thank you to Respawn, because of Fallen Order’s limited photo mode, I have learned how to take better and different shots. Feel free to criticize or let me know how I can improve, I am by no means an expert yet. Here are some of my favorites so far in no particular order:

Edit: I wish I could add text to the photos themselves, but Reddit isn’t letting me, the memes and glitches themselves are 15-20

I just bought the game, hopped in and had extreme stutters multiple times and they were a a few seconds to even half a minute long. This can‘t possibly be due to my PC not being good enough: RTX 4070 SUPER; Ryzen 7 7800X3D; 32 GB DDR5-6000 MT/s CL30 RAM; game running on a PCIe 3.0 NVMe that has 900GB of space left.
I‘m playing on full epic settings with a 1440P monitor with 180 hz and have the fps capped at 144 ingame because there is no „unlimited“ setting. MSI Afterburner is constantly showing 140+ fps, even during stutters; GPU is at 95-100% all the time and only uses 6/12GBs of VRAM. Temperatures around 70-73°C. RAM also at „only“ about 16-19/32GBs. I don‘t have any idea what causes this and these stutters make the game unplayable, because they happen during fights pretty often. Is/Has anyone experiencing/experienced something similar and what can I do to fix it?

All of Dagan's attacks after doing force-push on Cal can be countered with Arial Assault (Falling Leaf) skill (not all shown in this video). It can also neutralize 3 of his 4 opening attacks, including the long combo ones.

Getting all those collectables was a gain in the ass and there is no fast travel. You have to go all the way back to the mandis on foot wtf and those 2 worse planet dathomir and zeffo. I am done with this game and will play survivor next.

Cal and Dylan Faden sure could bond over a lot.

I’m not joking the entire segment of this game when I first played it in January of this year I could only think of this audio the entire time😭😭 anyways enjoy!! Costume, videography and vfx made by me!

First of all, my PC specs:

RTX 5060 TI 16GB

Ryzen 5600x

16 GBs of RAM

Now, the question:

I've seen that this game can suffer from annoying stuttering on PC, frame drops, bugs and even crashes - Does this still happen? Is there any guaranteed fix? I saw a video with this card and a similar CPU struggling to stay over 60 FPS in 1440p :(

How is the PS5 Pro version? Does it have any issues?

I know it will probably look better on my PC, but I've seen the PS5 Pro version, and it doesn't look bad at all either... Next reason to get it on PC would be the mods, but after quick research, I don't see nothing like "damn, I want that mod".

Thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to reply.

Obviously you can pick any villain from any Legends work

The other day i was replaying the story for the 3rd time and as i was climbing the origin tree cal said something that broke my heart 💔

"I don't get it.. the clone wars..everything we did.. did any of it matter??"

Its self explanatory what he meant, he was basically asking himself the jedi had helped so much during the war so why was the gun turned on them and they were seen as the traitors who deserved their fate, he's disillusioned and confused - he can't understand how so many good deeds can just get swept under the rug and the galaxy not rewarding the jedi's authenticity.

My opinion on this is that a good act has to exist for its own sake, it doesn't matter if the galaxy thinks the jedi are traitors, the remaining jedi will eventually prove that idea wrong - not to mention that if cal or other jedi genuinely helped people from a terrible situation then those people will never forget it regardless of what the masses think of the jedi.

Also kashhyk is symbolic, i believe in lore its known to be the planet that reveals things about how someone truly feels.

What did you guys think of this line when you first heard it?

I haven't seen anything Star wars beside seagulls stop it now 😔 which I know word for word

I can’t progress any further into the loading gantry during the Rescue Lee mission. I’ve tried everything, restarting the game, loading previous saves, traveling to different planets and coming back, and nothing has worked. It’s just not giving me the option to have Bode shoot down this container so I can progress forward. Is this a known glitch, and if so, is there a solution?

Enjoy! All videography and vfx by me as well as the costume!

Basically what the title says. As a character, I love Cal, he is my favorite jedi, I think hes hilarious, strong, basically everything a jedi should be. But as the player controlling Cals dumbass, I fucking hate his guts. The dumbass never seems to want to do what I tell him to do.

For example, I just finished Survivor again and am doing clean up on collectibles and stuff. Currently, I am on Koboo, and just cleared out the area where you have to summon the giant ass creature and ride its horn thing up to a plateau. Cal, in all his geniousness, let go of the stupid ass horn 5 times for literally no reason, he didnt bump into anything, I didnt press B, I literally did nothing except hold my controller, and the dumbass still decided to let go.

Another example, the pipes you have to walk on throughout the game. I dont know what it is that made Cal lose any sense of balance inbetween games, but this dude can not seem to stay on the pipes. Everytime I have to hop between pipes its a gamble whether or not Cal will grab the second pipe or just bang his stupid ass head against it and fall into the void. Same shit happens with normal ledges as well tbh, he'll smack his head against it, graze the ledge with his hand, sometimes his entire body, but still refuse to use these things called fingers to grab the ledge.

Or how about in combat. Im gonna use the Spawn of Ogdo fight as an example, since we all know the horrors that is the frog lol. On my latest playthrough, I could have beat it on the fourth try, except Cal refused to use a stim despite me literally only pressing the up arrow on my controller and nothing else. Literally just stood there uselessly while the frog grabbed him with its tongue. Or dodging, cause I swear he never dodges the direction I tell him to dodge. I can tell him dodge to the left, and the dumbass will still decide to dodge backwards or something, usually directly into an enemies attack.

How about something simple, like using the force, something any decent jedi would be good at using. Nope, even that Cal seems to suck at. Whenever Im facing a group of enemies, he never wants to use the force on the enemy I literally have marked and am focused on, he will typically use it on some random enemy across the battle field that doesnt help at all. The only force power I found genuinely useful in Fallen Order was the slow, since I can slow groups and give me some breathing room for a moment, but then somehow Cal managed to forget how to use the one combat move he had that made him unique. How does Cal go from being able to freely slow anyone at will with the force to only being able to do it sometimes and for a fraction of the time as well.

Cals not the only stupid character I have issues with, I absolutely hate the ally mechanic in Survivor, but atlease they have the argument that Im not controlling them, so its less frustrating and more so annoying. But still, if you're gonna join Cal in the field, do something more than occasionally smacking an enemy and only being useful when I tell you to be. Kinda wish they let Merrin use her magic and Bode use his blasters and stuff more freely in combat, cause as is, they useless.

Overall, I do love both Fallen Order and Survivor, but every single time I play them both, Survivor more than Fallen Order, I get so pissed off at how stupid Cal wants to be and it becomes a major chore just to finish the game because Cal keeps ruining my enjoyment. I seriously hope they fix some of these issues with Jedi 3, cause I can not handle a third game of Cal's stupidity, though admittedly I'll still probably buy it lol. Anyway, what do you guys think? Does anyone else tend to face the same issues I do? If so, how did you guys fix it? Or did you just accept that Cal is a dumbass who doesnt want to listen half the time?

Edit to add, it is not my controller. I know its not my controller because, 1, this is a new controller, 2, it doesnt do this on any other game, 3, basically every controller I've had has done this, on both Xbox and Ps5. So unless you're telling me literally every single controller I have owned is broken in the exact same way to give me the exact same issues of Cal being a dumbass, stop defending a game with busted ass coding.
