Why would you ever fucking want this.

Then It's a Musuo.

of course there wouldn't be. dark souls is all about the weight of the combat and lightsabers are all identical and lightweight.

I think the search for the "perfect lightsaber game" is akin to the "perfect zombie apocalypse game"; the standard is impossible.
>>
>>261498419
>all identical and lightweight
It's funny, for how weightless lightsabers are supposed to be, there's a lot of weight and gravitas in the fighting for the original trilogy. Probably because Lucas was emulating Kurosawa's samurai fights.
>>
But Dark Souls is all about slow, weighty combat where calculated decisions are made to determine victory. Lightsaber battles are quick, lightweight dances about looking for a weak point and ending the fight in one blow. They're completely different.

Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy did Lightsaber battles the best they really could ever have been done in a third person action game.

>>
>>261493802
Bloodborne's style of combat would be more appropriate, given how it encourages the player to be aggressive.
>>
>>261498904
Plus the props they were using to represent them were basically giant metal bars. The more slow paced fighting style of the original trilogy makes a lot more sense than the acrobatics of the prequel though since when all it takes is a light graze to kill you you probably don't want to spend a lot of time with your weapon spinning around uselessly behind your back.

Years of practice + psychological warfare. All the fancy flips and blocking blaster shots & shit is basically their reputation.

The reason the saber combat seems so much more weighty is because Vader got gimped super hard on Mustafar and had to rely on brute strength to get by (he had to literally relearn saber combat from the ground up) and Luke was trained by Yoda, but only for a few years. Most Jedi are trained from birth, Luke kind of got a few years of cramming, so he's naturally not going to be as talented as a Jedi that spent years on their technique.

But yeah, fucking around with a weightless laser sword is, in universe, a terrible idea. Isn't there one retard in the EU that managed to get a lightsaber and accidentally ran himself through because of the lack of weight?

In the original movie they asked lucas if they could do one-hand moves, given it was a laser sword it had to be pretty light.
He replied, "No, it's heavy. Hold it with two hands, like Excalibur."

I think the EU managed to justify it by saying that the projector inside the hilt unbalanced the saber and gave it fucked up inertia so it is really hard to control without force powers and/or a firm grip.
-There's some really nice shit in EU if you ignore the stupid shit, like a form of saber combat that involves turning off and on your lightsaber to bypass a parry.

Can't we all just fucking agree that the original trilogy AND the prequels did shit lightsaber combat? You would not fight super slow as if you were holding a heavy sword, but neither would you randomly flip, spin and swing your sword around in ways that aren't even directed at the enemy. It would be fast paced but with the opponents facing each other at all times and not engaging in retarded acrobatics.

Why would George defend those fights when if anything it was him who wanted the fights to be more acrobatic in the Prequels?

Not to sound like an asshole, but Lucas really isn't the best source for Star Wars. When you look at the prequels and shit, you kind of realize that the hostile space western vibe the OT had was a happy accident.

There's nothing wrong with going green screen. There is something wrong with having shitty writing and plot. Which is what the entire star wars series does. The prequels were fucking terrible, the sequels were overrated as shit.

Dark Souls combat would be terrible for a Jedi game. It's too damn slow. You want fast combat with lots of movement. Dark Souls distinctly lacks that, and that's part of why it's good. It forces you to commit to actions and plan them out.
But a good Jedi game would be about fast twitch-based combat.

Nevermind that the Jedi are the least interesting part of Star Wars. The space western backwater shithole lowlife thugs are much more interesting and imaginative then magic space samurai.
>>
Anyone who would prefer dark souls combat has no fucking clue how JKA combat actually worked, and probably got by, by killing retarded npcs with special attacks. Jedi outcast/academy is about as good as melee combat has ever gotten in video games.

And this is coming from a guy who went on a fucking quest to find a game that could beat it, including getting into fighting games. I like fighting games but JK is still on top.

>swing lightsaber
>waggle your mouse like a retard when it connects with something
>anything touching it dies in one hit
People who were hardcore about JK combat wouldn't have any nostalgia about it. Once you had the realization that waggling caused more damage the combat slipped downhill.
Your eyes were opened and you realized the skill ceiling you were aiming for all along was 1 foot above your head the entire time.

JO and JK were fun games, but the fun wasn't in the combat with the waggling "high skill" players, it was with the teamwork and the community and the people who didn't know the optimal way to play and just had fun.
That's not to say everyone who knew about waggling was an anti-fun faggot, but in competitive games you know how it is. For every good person there were 5 who would stomp every noob in until they were alone in the server.

>>261513729
If you wiggle like a crazy person you'll do less damage than just regular swinging. Actually doing it well is difficult. Since you're having to deal with the opponent moving out of the way in ways you wouldn't with a regular swing, and you risk not deflecting the opponents saber as you try to precisely aim.

Next you'll say strafe jumping is bad.

He probably thinks there's only 3 star wars movies. It makes perfect sense since they're named I, II, and III, and if kids aren't told that there's more, then they'll just believe that that's all the star wars movies(except the animated one)

Strafe jumping isn't bad.
Designing your game so that waggling inside somebody is the best option is retarded.
It makes sense, but people can't physically move like they do in JK so the 'it makes sense' argument doesn't mean squat.
I cannot understand how you can defend JK lightsabers as good combat. It's the best lightsaber game to date, but it falls flat on it's face once the waggling comes into play.
Because of it the game becomes slow and defensive. Getting hit can get you killed in 1-3 hits, depending on how skilled your opponent's aim is while he waggles.

Look at the videos here >>261503418 and you'll see why I don't look back on that as a fun and enjoyable experience.
The people move around a lot, but nothing actually happens for the most part. On the surface it might look cool but in reality it's boring and doesn't look cool at all.
Every time somebody swings they waggle for that split second when they think their saber might pass through the opponent. Only horizontal swings. Vertical is useless due to the waggling that makes connecting hits more important than aiming at a correct place for a deadly blow.

Usually a game is designed so high level play allows freedom of choice, but JK was the exact opposite - high level player was behind a simple barrier of knowledge and the skill involved was at best half of what was left.
>>

Lightsaber combat in video games should be more like Episode III Anakin vs. Obi-Wan, not Episode IV Vader vs. Old Ben.

I'm fine with there being slow and powerful stances but Souls combat never felt as fluid as Jedi Knight combat.

Why do Soulsfags hold the combat of the series as the top echelon of gameplay that's 'weighted', meaty, precise, and amazing?

I mean, it's okay. But I don't think it's the best thing ever.

>Wanting the slow, clunky Dark Souls combat in Jedi Knight

Lightsabers are not heavy, why the fuck would you want that cumbersome combat in Jedi Knight, are you retarded?

Of course, that's not to mention that Dark Souls has worse combat than Monster Hunter, which is what it's trying to emulate.
>>
>>261522463
I'm still right. JK combat is better, but that's not to say Dark Souls gameplay is worse.

I'm just making fun of the guy for talking about a game he hasn't played, and making (in my opinion) a fairly equivalent comparison. Both games look incredibly simple if you haven't actually played them.

I'd would love a Star Wars game with Dark Soul's level of world and character building with Outcast or Academy's saber combat. That'd be neat.
>>
>>261509770
To be fair, when psychics ninjas are wielding super light weight weapons, I would imagine direct attacks against the opponent would leave you open, controlling space while defending is an interesting take on it.

Swords not so much, because you can grab the blade and tackle the user and beat the shit out of them if they try fancy shit.

Which is why I'm making fun of you. You have not played the game, but are going to talk shit. Any game can look like that if you don't know what you're talking about.

You'd still be wrong. : )
>>
>>261524640
Because a good hit can do stupid amounts of damage, so the game ends up being based around your ability to maneuver. Think about how hard it is to get at hit in on someone, when the only way to do it is to get in range of their attack and hit you back.

It's the mechanical skill of an fps with the mindgames of a fighting game.
