Do I just Suck

[XenoMarauder]

I seem to die constantly in this game. I bought the whole series when it was on sale because I have fond memories of Jedi Outcast. I'm only on medium and I had to play DK 1 on easy, yet in both the first game and it sequel I die over stuff like missed mines or the weird way it seems to control. I'm fairly young and play most if not all games on the hardest difficulty. So my question is do I just suck or is the games more "archaic" controls just part of the learning curve?

Btw did grew up playing some old games like Half-Life and Final Fantasy series

Older games tend to be more difficult in contrast to the newer games being produced now. It's just the way the games were designed back then. There's exceptions to this obviously but this game isn't one of them. It's a legitimately challenging experience.

Thats probably why they added a quicksave button

As for the controls , they're about as "archaic" as 2020 WSAD releases, so you're kind of just sounding out of touch with the game there, are you posting in the wrong forum?

This is gonna sound stupid, but did you remap the controls? I can't stand the default method where the Y axis (and I think Z axis) is inverted.

I did remap a lot of the controls. I really meant the way the game handles as a whole

Ah okay, well I just recently completed another playthrough of Dark Forces 2 without much difficultly. Traps aren't too aplenty in Dark Forces 2, so you shouldn't be running into tons of mines. Really, the only part that I remember a bunch of mines was through Baron's Head toward the Dark Palace.

My biggest issue with Dark Forces 2 is that the lightsaber combat objectively sucks. Its understandable considering it was the first Star Wars game to really try and do decent lightsaber combat, but unsurprisingly it is garbage compared to Jedi Outcast and definitely Jedi Academy. The easiest way to get through the game for me was to just stick to using blasters.

Lightside is the best way to go through the game too because you can unlock Force Protection which is the most brokenly op force ability in the game. Pretty much 100% immunity to all damage for a few seconds and it can be reused almost immediately.
