man TIE Fighter is goated, they never quite hit that magic again
It was definitely the high water mark for Star Wars flight games. It had so much cool shit: a bonus campaign with Thrawn, secret objectives that creepy Sith guys give you, the medals (and creepy Sith tattoos) you get as you achieve in missions, the experience of working your way up from the shittiest ship in universe to some powerful ships.
I keep wanting to play Star Wars Squadrons, but it's definitely not the same at all lmao
I played it, and like its okay at best, but I will say that TIE Fighters/Interceptors/Bombers taking a couple seconds of blaster fire and keep on trucking like nothing happened is very jarring. Not to mention one of 5 ships in your squadron is dedicated to making sure you have effectively infinite ammo for your missile/torpedo ordnance is also a decision in game design.
The game is fine and all, but it really does feel like it was designed for the pvp multiplayer than the campaign.
I've made a few attempts at the campaign, but this is what makes me meh out about it. The character customization seems fun, but I'm not about to play a dead online game to be able to play with it lol
