A lot of times you're left having no idea what to do or where to go because there's no subtle-teaching at all (compare this with Doom and it fails).
o_O
I have no idea what you mean by "subtle-teaching" and how it applies to Doom since all you do in Doom is run around shooting stuff and pushing buttons. Also, you sound like you need a quest compass
Then there's the matter of that awful level you have to play through after you get your lightsaber; you think you'd get opportunities to use it once you get it but no, here's a level filled with hitscan snipers and grenade-wielding chumps.
Huh, you mean the game uses subtle teaching to show you that your lightsaber doesn't give you IDDQD?
But yeah, Nar Shaddaa was annoying as all hell because of all the rodians with disruptors. Sometimes it was frustrating, but it did a good job of keeping you alert and making you pay attention to the surroundings. But then again, it's a "general rule of Star Wars" that Nar Shaddaa has to be FUCKING ANNOYING, so whatever.
Also, Nar Shaddaa has a metric fuckton of high-placed ledges. Saying that you can't use your force powers in that level is a lie. Push/pull are useful the whole time, so is speed to run from cover to cover fast to dodge the snipers. Or using speed get the rodians before they get you.
And then there's those old early-mid-2000s favorites, the mandatory stealth, underwaterzero-gravity, and vehicle sections.
Meh. Stealth more like "shoot everyone before they get to the alarm switch", not a big deal. Jedi Knight already had an "augmented gravity, gtfo of a ship about to go boom" level as well. "Vehicle sections" was only a single short level where you stomp stuff in an AT-ST, and getting inside the AT-ST wasn't even mandatory. Jedi Academy was a LOT more guilty of all the above.
And once you play Mysteries of the Sith you realize just how powerful the lightsaber really is.
You sure do. I know I realised how "powerful" it was when I kept raging how I couldn't use my fucking guns in that goddamn endgame swamp or against the sith hounds
but then it takes SUCH a long time before it gives you the saber, it's as linear as the next Modern Warfare
Who cares about the goddamn saber, the first level (Kejim) is pretty much one of the best ones in the game and it has no lightsaber. And you deserve a slap for that Modern Warfare comment, son : x
