Should I play Fallen Order before Survivor?

[Tokenn]

Survivor is new and looks amazing. Will I miss out on much if I don't play Fallen Order first? does Survivor improve on Fallen a lot, or is it just a continuation with similar gameplay?

Thanks...

I have not played survivor, but it seems it takes place 5 years after Fallen Order. Survivor also seems to have added gameplay elements not present in Fallen Order.

if you wanna wait for a sale, you can get Fallen Order, and if you like it, can also get Survivor.

Personally, I like it, but I don't have the system requirements for Survivor.

Having played Survivor now I can't come back to this game, Survivor has spoiled me. If you haven't played this game and want to play Survivor, it does have a pretty good summary of what happened in JFO to set the tone.

If you play Fallen Order first, there's a better chance Survivor might run better by the time you get to it :-)

Regarding the meat of your question, if you play Fallen Order first, you will know the characters and background better. I think it's a good idea to play Fallen Order first, but certainly not essential.

And as 'lefty' says, if you play Survivor first, you will probably not want to go back to Fallen Order.

Play Fallen Order first, it's super cheap nowadays and is frequently on sale. Survivor is in very poor state right now, maybe by the time you finish Fallen Order they gonna patch it a little.

its reall buggy id wait at least a few mojnths for patches if u get the new one

Fallen Order for now, wait a few months for Survivor since it is insanely buggy on PC, but if you have it on console or something go ahead. I just recommend beating Fallen Order first so your familiar with the story and controls.

I only played the first few hours of Jedi Fallen Order for the basic gameplay mechanics.

About 7 hours of Jedi Fallen Order was too much. I didn't really feel I was missing anything by jumping into Jedi: Survivor which is a much better game.

Jedi Fallen Order generally has much better performance than Survivor. I'd recommend a CPU with Turbo or Boost clocks above 5GHz, and good cooling.

Thanks for your comments. I'll pick up Fallen Order when it's on sale and hold off on Survivor for a while. My system should be able to run it now, but if it's still in a rough state I don't think I want to deal with that.

The engine that the game runs on seems to be overloaded. It was built with console standards in mind, and probably needs a 30 FPS cap.

The engine doesn't seem to be able to utilize more than a quad core, and so clock speeds matter. The game doesn't always maintain a locked 60 FPS on a 5GHz Turbo/Boost.

When the game suffers, it tends to be during cutscenes when loading, or in a town where there is little to no combat.

It doesn't seem to affect most people's enjoyment of the game.

My first hour sent me panicking as my frame rates continually plunged until they got to 20 FPS at 4.1GHz. After which I expected the experience to be like trying to play the game on the Steam Deck. However, while irritating, the experience over my next 18 hours was fine, with 40 FPS generally being the lowest it would drop.

I think you should play fallen order first

Yeah its definitely worth it to play Fallen Order first, there is a lot you would miss out on if you dont. Its also a great way to wait for more Survivor Updates^^

This game doesn't even launch anymore because they've not updated the bootstrapper for the Steam version to launch with the new EA app instead of Origin.

It has been working fine for me. I don't think I ever had it while Origin was still a thing.

I may not have purchased any EA games while Origin was a thing. I bought Mass Effect 3, and Andromeda, on Origin to avoid stacking launchers.

Might be some gunk left in the registry from the Origin bootstrapper?

The best way to deal with EA app is to just manually change the date on your computer to january 2023. Works fine this way both with Fallen Order and Mass Effect Legendary Edition.
