I knew it was bad but this is hilariously bad.

My favorite thing about this is that Ubisoft has single handedly made AAAA synonymous with awful.

My first thought with this video was “this looks like some trash Ubisoft would put out.”

I guess I was right.

“AAAA” is the sound you make after realizing what you did with your money.

In a couple of years we will have “AAAAAAHHHHH WHY WHY OH MY GOD WHY AM I DOING THIS TO MYSELF”-games.

That or the realization “Ah”, as in: “AAAAh, so that’s what <sequence of bad adjectives> looks like”

With any luck they’ll single handedly keep “AAAA” from catching on, because nobody with a shred of pride would want their multi-million dollar project connected to anything that was said to be AAAA.

And yet somehow I’m managing to enjoy it.

Same. It took me a bit to get the settings how Iiked them and figure out the gameplay loop. But now I think it is similar to Red Dead 2 or a Ghost Recon game. And it’s set on gorgeous Star Wars maps.

It’s okay but you’re going a little far comparing it to RDR2.

Not a surprising comparisong though, It certainly borrows a lot of elements from Red Dead. But it’s also mixed with some Assassins’s Creed, Division and even Witcher elements.

You’re right, it’s way less boring than a Rockstar game lol

People call RDR2 a masterpiece and yes it’s very beautiful and very detailed. But the gameplay systems and controls don’t really feel quite right to me, and I feel the same the same way about Star Wars Outlaws. Plus to me the games just feel similar when you’re wandering around big wide open areas.

Lol people in this sub shitting on others for enjoying a game that they hate. Must be hard to comprehend the fact that tastes can differ.

It’s been a genuinely enjoyable game for me so far. Of course not without minor issues, but it does not even remotely deserve the hate it gets.

They’re being quite disgusting about it, too.

I experienced one lockup, noticed one takedown animation glitch, and found one rare interaction bug where a container stays in the closed/interactive state after being emptied. Not bad at all for 25 hours into a game at launch.

I had a lot of crashes back at launch, but after trying out a lot of things I think it eventually came down to my GPU being undervolted, didn’t have a single crash since. The undervolt worked fine with Wukong, but that game isn’t even remotely the same scale as Outlaws.

Been at it for about 23 hours, I think ‘worst’ in-game bug I had was Kay’s hands acting weird on a speeder once, like she was grabbing the air.

People can even BOTH enjoy stuff AND make fun of or complain about its failings.

It’s ridiculous. Doesn’t seem like game discussion happens on Lemmy anymore. All posts just seem to be geared towards shitting on whatever the hated game of the month is. It was Starfield now outlaws.

Look the game has decent reviews and most people are obviously enjoying it. Except the cynical folks on Lemmy, they got it all figured out. Bet most these people hating haven’t played it.

You’re quite literally contradicting yourself. Saying that it’s nothing to do with the game, then proceed to claim people complaing because it’s a shitty experience.

Prices have been rising in the gaming industry all together, you can’t blame Ubisoft alone for this. And the experience has been fun to me, as well as others.

Tastes differ.

Wth is the point of stormtrooper armor. Has it ever done anything?

Look, everyone has their own style of wearfare. Some people show up in full battle rattle with mirror finished armor. Others show up to look good.

I read somewhere that the armor distributes blaster bolt shock through it so all the Stormtroopers get knocked unconscious. They don’t die, otherwise they may as well not wear it at all as they fall over after one blaster bolt.

But as with everything in Star Wars lore, that’s probably a desperate retcon.

It also removes any sense or individuality. Contrasted with clones who frequently customised their armour.

Ooh that’s awful! How can they do this? I remember Assassins Creed 1 was better than this… They could’ve just modded Ghost Recon Wildlands with pew pew guns and glowing knives, and still would’ve been a better experience than this.

Lemmy really is reddit 2.0, down to still pretending that Wildlands is a bad game.
