Star Destroyer Boss Impossible

[mytomanen_bre]

So i was stuck on this boss fight for aprox 30 minutes before i gave up, and uninstalled the game.

This boss is just ridiculous. The Tie Fighters are nearly impossible to destroy, if you use lighting force you have to aim at a pixel perfect angle, and if you don't you have to wait for your mana to recharge and try again. And if you want to use force pull to take them down, you have to mash the spam the right mouse button faster than humanly possible while and swing the mouse around until the mouse pad have to be re-ajusted on the desc, because you swing the mouse so much.

And when you finally defeat all the tie fighters (i did this part 6 times) and pull the star destroyer, the promt tells you to press A or D while constantly pulling your mouse up (or down depending on the stage of the bossfight) and then lift the mouse and move it down just to set it down and pull up again. I did this so many times it's not even possible to count anymore.

And when i did all of this aprox 6 times, the promt just stopped showing green at any stage, i could aim the star destroyer directly at me, as the promt earlier showed, and it would turn green, but then after 5-6 times it just stopped showing any form of green, it just kept glowing red, without showing me which button (A or D) or which direction to pull the mouse. It's just red, constantly, like i aiming it correctly but there is no way of using the S button to pull it "down towards me" anymore..

The rest of the game up to this point is ridiculously easy, most of the time you don't even have to fight anything you just run past everything and complete your objective, while dodging bullets left and right, and then spam the left mouse button at any boss to kill it, and mabye using the lighting to stun it first before mashing the left mouse button.

But THIS PART left me so frustrated i have no words for how angry i am. My blood is literally boiling, and my pulse is probably dangerously high at this point. If i was in a room with the game developer who thought of this boss fight i would do unspeakable things, things that would make the devil not want to welcome me into hell, and make God himself have nightmares about me. I would make Hitler look like a saint after i was done. No words in any language can describe the anger i feel inside of me right now, i've never been this angry or frustrated in my 26 years.

To sum it all up. I use A/D button + mouse to ajust the Star Destroyer to look directly at me, and then the promt shows me to use S to pull it down, and after killing the Tie Fighters and then pulling the Star Destroyer over and over and over and over and over and over and over again eventually the green promt stopped showing up, so there is no way i can allign it perfectly, because the buttons aren't even highlighted at this point. It's like the game thinks i should be done with this part 4 rotations ago, which i'm not, so it just sticks me in an endless loop of a Star Destroyer that can't be pulled down anymore, and an endless wave of Tie Fighters that keeps me from completing my objective.

♥♥♥♥ this part of an otherwise childs-play easy game. ♥♥♥♥ this part in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ASS.

i had issues and switched it back to 30fps and did it in one try. not sure if that had anything to do with it. anyways a post on gamefaqs really helped me with this issue, so here it is and hopefully it can help you and future people because this "boss" fight is a poorly designed fight. BTW I used a controller for this game if that even matters.

Here are some secrets from a concerned console player. There is a massive, massive design flaw with this part of the game:
When aligning the ship, IGNORE THE ON-SCREEN PROMPTS. Once the ship is close, around the 3rd time you try to pull down the Star Destroyer, the prompts do not correctly guide you into the "Magic zone" that allows you to pull down the ship.

Rather than using the prompts as a guide, focus on getting the ship level with the ground, with the nose pointed in your direction. If it's pointed too far up, down, left or right, obviously you can't get it.

The TIE fighters are more easily destroyed by Force Grip than by Force Lightning. Stand to one side, where the TIEs fly closest to the bridge, and rapidly tap the grip key. TIEs will fly into range for a second or two as they start to turn away from the bridge. Even half a second of grip will kill a TIE, and, if you send it flying into another, as many as three others fighters with a single toss. Force energy is not wasted if you miss, unlike lightning.

I'm not sure how it's working on the PC, but when Kota says "Rip it out of the sky," just hold down whatever key they indicate. The console version had a prompt that made many players think they had to constantly move the analog sticks, when you just had to hold them down.

theres a bug where sometimes the defult difficulty is legendary :)

I agree this fight isn't representative of the rest of the game. I didn't finished it either. I can't think of any other game I didn't finished for this reason but it's seems the controls are nearly impossible on PC. It's sad because other than this part, I think it's a good game. I've played the second game before this one and fortunately, there aren't any bug like this. ;)

Yes i got extremely frustrated and angry. Salty is just a word for people with a very poor vocabulary and a lack of understanding for other players. People get "salty" left and right in the gaming community, both online and offline, for very different but still valid reasons. A salty person is never wrong, because a feeling can never be wrong. It's always true, to that person, and you would never point your finger and go Nelson's "ha-ha" to a crying person or a person in distress, so why would you do the same to me with your pointless "lmao" input?

It's not funny. It's something real that happened to me, and something that you, as someone who is clearly not myself, are in no position what so ever to demen, to belittle or to make fun of it. Shame on you.

youre bashing a game because of your inability to control yourself

So the game developers somehow knew there was a guy somewhere in the world "unable to control himself" so they coded the game accordingly? Your argument makes no sense what so ever.. The game isn't badly ported to PC BECAUSE of my inability to control myself, my inability to control myself comes from the badly ported game.

It is unnecessarily difficult with the mouse and keyboard but if you can connect a controller to your pc you'll beat the level no bother.

controller? last i checked the game doesnt allow controllers so you would have to use steam overlay, which doesn't like to cooporate.

I did it with a mouse and the first time I came across it, It took me like an hour! But now that I've done it, I can normally do it in like 5 minutes. My tips are, move your mouse slowly across the pad instead of rapid and fast motions, be patient with shocking the tye fighters just keep shocking em one at a time, and also heres my best tip:
The longer you stretch out trying to pull it per life, the harder it will be. I'd reccomend just dying then trying again if you cant get it down within like three rounds of tye fighters. Just focus on scrolling your mouse till the star destroyer is pointing at you and a little bit upwards, then you should be good on pulling it down. (Dont worry about the red and green and the A and D). I kill the first round of Tye fighters, move the star destroyer to the middle, and just hold it there (dont pull it down) kill the next round of tie fighters asap, and that way the star destroyer is a lot closer to me being able to pull it down again. Good luck!

It sure is an old school game in that it requires skill to beat. Not auto-win like modern games.

It's not skill. It's a ridiculously bad ported game, from console (and it's been confirmed by several major pc illustrated magazines, forums, veteran players and so on), so there is no skill or lack of skill in beating a severly broken and horribly bad ported game. My game was bugged, plain and simple, because apparently, if you take too long in the boss fight (take your time, to do it right, in my opinon) THEN the boss becomes stuck in his animations, and the star fighter only rotates, but never opens up for the option to be dragged down using the force. The ONLY way to win the fight, if you ever have the unfortune to reach that point, is simply to restart. It's like there is a hidden timer basicly. And there is no skill in having the knowledge of a hidden timer, anyone could beat that boss if you only hurry and use the "right strategy", because using any other strategy than the fastest (aka there is NO ROOM for personal playstyle - there is simply a wrong and a right way, and in this case, the only right way is the fastest) then you will loose, guaranteed.

Cinnamon after reading through this thread with disinterest (the topic is old to me, I knew beforehand how poorly designed this encounter is but also learned how to deal with it years ago), I can safely say you are the most immature and spaztic person commenting in here. I particularly enjoy how you keep trying to insinuate that you have some level of maturity all the while you are talking like a typical 13-25 year old post-Millennial (as if Millannials aren't bad enough...) manchild. Do you know what a manchild is? It's a guy who's reached an age where you would expect him to conduct himself reasonably but instead he's stuck on a a High School/College level emotional maturity.

That's you.


I also find it amusing you lecture people about self-control when clearly you lack it, as your profile is full of comments from people reacting to you going off on them in computer games. You do realize that freaking out on people in computer games, for any reason, is pretty immature and shows a lack of self control right? But then you're over the age of 12 and play Overwatch so perhaps I should lower my expectations...

Oh my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ god, that burn. Thank you, Sir. <3

I died a bunch, but I did manage it on sith lord difficulty, so it ain't impossible.

[OldMemes.biz]

I completely gutted you so you have nothing better to say than that. Typical of people like you. The moment someone calls you perfectly on your BS you stop dead. Weak.
