Why not? Has lots of modifiers to change difficulty, damage, number / strength of opponents and so on, in addition to all the stances and combos.

I mean fair. That's a solid point. I did enjoy my playthrough.

Yep, I admit to having been on the pre-launch bandwagon that was bashing this game but the more I was post launch the more impressed I got. Just wished it wasn't Ubi but I'll get over it. I know its far from perfect but still looks fun to me and I also thought I was done with SW games.

This one's not Ubisoft - that's Outlaws. Survivor is EA and works quite well enough (people have been beating it on its highest difficulty, which is no easy feat).

Outlaws I'll also be waiting for a significant sale, as well as the fixups. Ubisoft might out-Bethesda Bethesda and make it great! Or at least make it cheap...

lol! I totally forgot and I think I actually I & II already through some free giveaway at some point.

Grimlakin

Yes the first one was part of a giveaway a while back. Both are good.

I had very little issues while playing this game when it first came out unlike others. I really enjoyed the game, but I don't see myself playing this again any time soon even with this patch.
