Yeah, and that's what I'm talking about. All the nuances present on the system. For example, attacking normally as you would do but delaying one of the blows just a bit will transform your combo into something else entirely (like, square, square - de...  [Read More]
Another point for you, but although this (and similar actions) are combos; pressing X,X,X then Y or B and then throwing something against the enemy isn't for the reasons aforementioned.Yes, merely throwing someone at something isn't really a combo. P...  [Read More]
Ctrl Alt Del: The issue here is that you're trying to look at TFU as a regular hack and slash action game. TFU isn't God of War. The only real similarites lie with the fact that you can hit a button to attack people, there are Quick Time Events and t...  [Read More]
Yeah, what really saddens me about the reviews is the Gametrailers review. They actually said that you can kill people in many different varied ways, but that it is enough to just use simple lightsaber swings to deal with everything. Then they called...  [Read More]

What makes people compare TFU and GoW is most likely the Quick Time Events and the misunderstanding that the melee combat is a main focus of this game. Just looking at how shallow the melee combo system is says quite clearly that it's mostly there fo...  [Read More]

All these codes for the PS2/PSP/Wii versions of the game are obtained by picking up holocrons. Rather than give you force points, temporary power or lightsaber crystals, the holocrons in these versions give you a piece of concept art each. When looki...  [Read More]

They revealed it in the E3 interview with Gamespot. If you wait a moment before attacking again, longer flourishes that deal more damage will be executed. They're not hard to use, you just need to know they're there. They didn't strike me as useful e...  [Read More]
