Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II (Return to Kamino)

This latest session has left me the most pooped since it was really the hardest part for me. I got lost and then jumping levels from Hell came into being.

So let's get started for today!

I started off with arriving on Kamino after crashing the Salvation. I will say that I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the beginning of this part. You really get the sensation that you are in a building that is falling apart.

I do a little jumping and get to a small cutscene where Starkiller talks to Kota. Kota is surprised and happy that Starkiller is alive and tells him where to go.

After that part I got confused where to go and found myself going in circles for around two years. I tried to find a walkthrough to tell my dumb ass where to go and that was a little less than useless. So I spent around five more minutes going in circles and yelling at whoever wasn't making walkthroughs and I think I even insulted Starkiller a few times.

I never understood why people yelled at video game characters but now I know why.

I finally found where to continue and I was so damn happy. Especially when I got to fight enemies.

Nothing exciting happened except at a few pints.

At one point you keep running down a hallway outside and while that's going on you get shot at by a few Tie Fighters. It happened first and I was going "WTF is going on?!" for two or four Tie Fighters. I'm sure I could've tried pulling them down with Force Grip but I ended up just using Force Lighting until they stopped flying by. I don't know if using Force Lightning actually did damage, though.

The next hard section is a jumping section. What makes this jumping section so difficult? Some of the platforms have a force field that will come on and so you have to time jumping when the force field isn't active or else you have the very high chance of being pushed off the platform. Then you have to start the Hell section again.

What makes the second of these sections so maddening is that it comes a few minutes after the first one. I'm surprised I didn't explode due to frustration during these sections.

Luckily I ended my session with a giant brawl. I was able to use Force Rage a few times which just felt wonderful after the jumping sections.

For the plot aspect this time around: Starkiller decides to break off from the Rebels to try and rescue Juno. Kota tries to make Starkiller decide differently, but that doesn't happen.

Deaths Have Changed
Last season was full of not knowing who was going to die and having story arcs cut short because characters kept dying. While you could argue that this means that this season had stronger writing, I miss last season where you didn't know who would die. That was some great excitement there. There are only two deaths this season that really hit me hard. Then again, they weren't as out of the blue as some deaths from last season.

Poe is Gone
In the first season Joe Carrol ran his cult around the ideas of Poe. In this season that changes. I doubt he'll ever get over his love of Poe, but he decides to change how the cult runs. This is really because he runs into a few problems so he has to change to survive. Plus there is the fact that he begins to hold a grudge against someone.

Emma
Emma is a character I have liked since Season 1. She had a good run this season too. Her obsession/love of Joe proved to be the real thing. As real a love as a person like her could feel. In different parts of this season she didn't agree with everything Joe said and even tried to pull him back a few times. A relationship, a good one, isn't just agreeing with your partner/lover but reminding them when they're being an idiot.

Final Thoughts
I would say that this is a better season though the killing parts weren't like the first Season. However, there are still twists and turns that make for a good ride. Ryan Hardy and Mike Weston make a great team while Ryan's niece makes a nice addition to the cast. One of the highlights of this Season is that it starts off at the end of the last one. If you liked the first Season you should like this one too. If you didn't like the first Season the writing of the second Season probably won't be better for you.

Sayings Sundays (May 4, 2014)

And here is yet another Hannibal quote. Is it becoming even clearer that I just love this show?

This quote talks about Hannibal Lecter who is the killer that everyone is looking for. Hannibal has the ability to hide right under your nose without you suspecting a thing. I cut out the part of the quote where Gideon says that Will will have to kill Hannibal as capturing the killer won't do the trick.

I'm posting this quote, instead of a Star Wars one, today because I've seen the show get a shitload of unfounded hate recently.

I've recently run into a Kelly Clarkson song called "Honestly". It is a nice, slow, and emotive song. It has a lot of emotion but none of the song jumps out at you with a loud volume. I would highly suggest giving it a listen to.

I chose these lyrics and the show Revolution due to this week's episode. At the very end of last episode, Charlie is given no choice but to kill Jason. In this week's episode she has to tell Tom and it ends with her begging him for death while he was the first to offer death to her.

This was a heartbreaking scene as neither character sees eye to eye but it took the death of Jason to give them an inkling of connection. Their pain over Jason's death is such a shared experience that it makes the scene even more powerful than it already was.
