A lightsaber that doesn't cut things into little smoking segments every time it connects isn't a lightsaber. It's that simple. Give Starkiller a baseball bat- it's probably a better weapon. Imagine a shooter where the guns don't shoot bullets, they shoot marshmallows. And according the dev's that doesn't matter because the grenades are so kick-ass they'll wipe out a room full of dudes. Kinda makes ya go "Ehhhh" doesn't it? 
I'm just curious- why doesn't Lucasarts just remove lightsabers from the game? It's just the principle of doing something half-assed that gets me. You could just have the Starkiller be a Force adept and dismiss lightsabers altogether. 
That said, the sequel looks a hundred times better than its only rental-worthy predecessor.

Yeah, the game wasn't well made.
