Story Mode is overly "difficult" for a "Story Mode"

i am not a fan of souls like games due to their difficulty. i want some challenge but not too much to the point where i will get frustrated with it. i heard somewhere online that story mode was too easy but jedi knight was too hard. i'm not playing for the story i just don't want frustrating gameplay. i want to make sure that i am picking the right difficulty for me as i want to have fun but not have super frustrating gameplay. i'm not sure i like the idea of losing everything when you die and i don''t have the patience to play sections over and over again if i will just lose everything when you die like you do in the souls and hollow knight games. other than the souls like gameplay i like everything about it. i know a lot of are still frustrating even on the easiest difficulty setting. if anyone has played the game on story mode please let me know how easy it is and if you think i should select jedi knight instead thanks.

basically its easy mode parry times are much larger and dmg instake is a bit less i started on jedi knight and just moved up to jedi knight master i found it a little bit annoying because the parry times threw me off a bit 

right now i am renting it from gamefly and it will be here by monday hopefully. i was really wanting to buy it as i have been wanting to buy a ps4 game for myself as i have not bought one in a while as i have been buying a bunch of switch games lately. if it is really as hard as you say it is then maybe i'm glad i didn't buy it even though i really want to. I get frustrated with most games easily unless they are like mario, sonic or pokemon. if they took away the challenging aspects of the game then it sounds like it would be more enjoyable. easy mode should provide some challenge to make the game fun but not too much that it is frustrating.

The combat really has multiple layers to it. It's not just spam click your way through the enemies, but actually have to think and react what to do. I don't think the game requires the best of the best reflexes, but instead you've got to learn how to correctly parry/dodge or attack.

I'm definitely not the best fighter here, died several times to a few bugs because I couldn't land hits on them. But the more fighting I did, the better I got. I believe that once you get the hang of the combat, it should be just fine. 

As a suggestion in combat, try to take out the stormtroopers with the blaster first before engaging with the scout ones with staff. That gives much more freedom in the fights. Also, don't forget to use the force abilities in fight, they often give huge advantages.

The game has great graphical details and animations, however the AI difficulty and the gameplay mechanics are terrible. You can kill a soldier pretty easy but when it comes to killing a creature you are simply dog *. I mean come on you are supposed to be a JEDI, that lightsaber and that force power should count for something. The old SW games like jedi outcast, jedi academy and kotor 1 & 2 had way better mechanics than the current star wars games.

Dodge option is also terrible because other games usually use "space" or "SHIFT" key for usage, however here "space" is for jump and by the time you press "Z" half of your health is already gone. Plus I think it lacks force powers(yes I understand you are PADAWAN), because on the first 2 planets you can only use slow and compared to a bigger creature it's not much of a help. Even if you manage to dodge, the character will get stuck in the face of the creature and the next attack will hit you.

At first I set the difficulty on jedi master, but since I died so fast from the large creatures, I lowered to jedi knight and then to story mode. No matter what mode you play, your health is still like a piece of paper. I feel like playing "For Honor", one mistake and you are almost dead. Plus that mob reset after you die and exp stolen from the mob who killed you is very much annoying.

Compared to the previous EA games this one had the fastest uninstall from my side(after 1 hour of game time). Luckily I tried it with origin access which ends soon, so no need for refund. 🙂

I don't know what happens with EA but ever since the launch of Anthem, they disappoint more and more with every game.

let me say it doesn't get any better... wait until you're fighting some of the other units in the game, it's asinine. 

The first real boss you'll face is stupidly hard.  I had 5 healing stims and was down to 2 when the fight was over.  Like how is this STORY MODE?

Wait for Purge Units, enjoy being constantly stunlocked and needing to parry 3 times just to get one hit in, and they auto regen their stamina no matter what, even if you don't pause.  You have to do this process 3-4 times to beat a single Purge unit.  

I mean I don't know EA, i'm loving this game, but don't call something story mode if it's ridiculous like this -_-
