Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (2008) for the Nintendo Wii.

This was LucasArts in its final prime—before Disney turned Star Wars into an IP-for-rent. On Wii, it wasn’t about fancy physics engines or HD graphics. It was about grabbing a Wiimote, swinging it like a saber, and blasting stormtroopers across the room with Force push. Plus, the Wii got its own Duel Mode, making it the only version where you could settle Jedi grudges right on the couch.

Recently tried the PC version and the Wii version is so much better. The controls are basically perfect. They just feel natural to execute. Somehow the second game managed to fuck that perfection up.

I played the Xbox version first and I was so excited to force-pull a star destroyer out of orbit with motion controls.
They changed it to be a cutscene.
What should have been a home run was a sad walk to first.

A general gaming community for Piefed.

More games, less memes, no outrage culture.

Rules

  1. Stay civil.
    Debate ideas, not people. No personal attacks, no flame wars. More info here.

  2. This is not a gamer identity space.
    We don’t self-identify as “gamers.” Games are art, not a lifestyle brand. If your whole identity is about consumption, you’ll probably feel out of place here.

  3. Talk about games as art.
    Discussion should focus on design, ideas, and creative choices. What does this game say? What are the consequences of its mechanics? What does its aesthetic communicate?

  4. No discrimination.
    Prejudice, bigotry, or harassment of any kind will get you removed.

  5. No spam.
    Keep discussion meaningful. Don’t flood with promos or off-topic noise.

  6. Stay on topic.
    This space is for discussion of games as creative works, not for tech support, low-effort memes, or console wars.

  7. Evolving rules.
    These rules may change as the community grows and we refine what works.
