The Elitist's Least Favorite Video Game Moments: Force Unleashed 2

Despite the fact that Force Unleashed 2 was a massive poopy mess of disappointment in and of itself, it had some redeeming facts. Starkiller is still awesome, he still does stupid ridiculous Force related awesome, and Vader is still a badass. However, the game managed to take all of these things, put them together, and then make it suck.

Ye Olde Spoilers Ahoy!

So, eventually you have to fight Vader. Duh. This, one would expect, would be the biggest clash of the Force anyone as ever seen. Super powerful Anikan Skywalker gone dark side, and Jedi prodigy Starkiller fighting it out in a to-the-death brawl. You would think the sheer kick-ass-ery of such a cataclysmic clash of power would send you into a catatonic state of Force Lightning and Lightsaber throws. You would be so so absolutely red light wrong.

My writers are lazy and unoriginal! Hear my three sentences and be sad!

In the stead, of what is cool and not lame, you actually get to do something very lame. It's annoying, semi difficult, unnecessarily long, and still lame. The basic build of the fight is this: You smack Vader around a bit, but he is a boss, so you have to zip around him, try to hit him from behind while making sure to block or dodge his attacks. You cannot use force powers on him a majority of the time due to the aforementioned Boss state, so you take your combos whenever you can. Problem number one arises. Eventually you and Vader will lock lightsabers, forcing you to make quick actions to avoid or overpower Vader (pressing A really quickly, hit L and R and the right time, moving LS and RS to avoid, etc. All timed properly, blah blah you know the drill) While this is all happening, Vader taunts Starkiller saying how is.. like.. not good and stuff... and how he is dumb... and how the things he likes are dumb... (reference!) and then Starkiller gets all mad, and Vader runs away. You are then met with these creepy half born Starkiller fetuses that are primarily useless and are easy enough to best even on the hardest difficulty. The annoying part is while you are fighting them, prickface Vader is either throwing vats of Starkiller baby at you, or standing next you hitting and or choking you. It is the hurties.
After killing your creepy clone babies (they aren't really babies...) you chase Vader, and the whole bloody thing starts again. Super Lame Mode Go!
To make matters just even more annoying, there are only about 3 dialogs that Vader and Starkiller share while locked in (lame) mortal combat. So by the end of it, you just want both of them to shut up and just kill each other. Hopefully at the same time before they have a chance to open their stupid repetitive mouths. Just watch and see the dumb.



Side note, I encountered the quick time events a whole lot more often. Maybe I did it badly, but this gives a pretty good idea.
Still dumb.
