Now that people are actually playing the game though plenty are saying they enjoy it so it just goes to show you that once again you can’t judge a game by its cover.

[@vincenzooo2k11]

I do think it's a shame that the major developers don't invest more of their creative potential in creating new and exciting gameplay. Whatever the surface is, the gameplay has been the same for ages now. Shoot or sneak, press one button to kill or press another button to get to cover and then have mindless shootouts. Even though the world and color palette of this game look intriguing - the gameplay itself looks dusty and worn.

[@somejetdude]

@@vincenzooo2k11 yep exactly my frustration with Ubisoft and most big name games. Extremely shallow and old gameplay but people defend it time and time again unfortunately. Similarly, I want to love Ghost Recon Breakpoint. That’s a game that came out with a terrible looter shooter system and 2 years later was completely overworked and could be customised into an almost milsim on console. The only problem being the AI is atrocious and most the open world is insanely bland, and the gunplay is mediocre… Ubisoft always gets about 60% there to making something actually interesting.

[@chromesucks5299]

The reason is that creating new gameplay/mechanics requires alot more dev time work/testing and risk than just making a 'pretty game' its also faster to doing graphics stuff, its why the worlds look amazing but there is nothing to do in them, they sell on the pretty factor that gets boring in 10 hours and by that point its already too late.

This doesn’t seem to be different, especially since i love SW. i just hope its not another Acolyte lore mess

[@claytopolis]

its mainly because ubisoft rarely ever strays from their one way to make a game. But if that doesn't get old for you or you're someone who just hasn't played much of their stuff. I can imagine this might be at least worth a playthrough.

[@MizzterFu]

@@claytopolis i agree but i swear that 90% of these “haters” haven’t touched a Ubi game in a decade and just wait for a KZbinr to hand them their opinion. I do hope this game leans more towards the open world AC formula instead of Far Cry(which is already looking this way) cuz FC truly is a franchise that has been the same since FC3 and is quite frankly BORING. Avatar did lean more into the FC formula but its setting, map design, audio design, movement and the visuals really set it apart just enough for me to enjoy it.

[@rangersnut]

I am looking forward to a solid Star Wars game experience. Space combat, shooting, blowing stuff up in a star wars setting is a good time for me. I don't need the game to reinvent the wheel or push boundaries. Not every game can be that. It looks well made.

[@DanielZenMaster]

Nah...I mean, I appreciate the coverage, but these days devs get so crafty with those pre-release demos for press and influencers, making those few hours people get to play a decent enough experience, areas and interactions you can cover within those hours are relatively "safe to be seen", but the moment you get retail version, shit is falling apart pretty quickly. Now this would be my take on majority of AAA devs these days (with few exceptions), but let's not forget that this is Ubisoft, on top of that look at the versions and price spikes on those - that's insane! They wanna lock off day 1 content behind DLC paywall? Well, you ain't gonna see my money. Now, I won't consider myself a Star Wars super fan, I enjoy the badass lightsabers and when they are being competently used by the characters, so I'm not sure who is this for? Like who cares about outlaws in this world (yeah, I know Han Solo)? Remember Rogue One? Yeah, most memorable scene from that movie was a badass fight with Vader in corridor at the end. Here's a shocker, right? Even if the movie was well received. I will welcome the time, when I will be positively surprised by the release of another AAA game, but for the time being the industry made me a skeptical guy, so I observe from the distance, while I enjoy playing older games I have in a queue.

[@chadbarky]

This looks awesome, not every game can be an innovation for the industry. People seem to just love to hate these days. I personally can't wait to play!

[@raimee81]

Sometimes I buy a game and for certain reasons I am not into playing at the time. Armored Core 6 for example. Played it almost a year after I bought it, when I found the time and motivation to commit to getting good at it. Same with Elden Ring, bought it at launch only to start playing it a couple months ago. Now I can't put it down. I could've bought these later and saved the money, but I never regretted buying them. The 2 games I bought and regretted buying were Far Cry 6 and Avatar. I couldn't play more than a few hours, I've tried a few times. Outlaws being another Ubisoft open world and at the price they're charging, it would take many overwhelmingly positive reviews for me to consider buying the game.

Understandable, the older you get the less time you have left, and that time is divided between your hopefully robust social network, responsibilities, and hobbies. Baldurs Gate 3 blew my mind; I hadn't played a turn based game since the late 90s, and that game is beautifully done. I like open world games for the art and aesthetics, and I appreciate a puzzle component tossed into 'work' style side quests, but I often find myself wanting to build my car, read a book, hike somewhere beautiful, or play my guitar more.

[@donaldfrederick501]

Think my "Ubisoft Rule" of wait 1-3 months and get at first decent sale (and bug fixes) to half off might apply again here. Assuming that sale will be by time AC Shadows comes out.

[@Erilis000]

13:28 this game looks cool if not purely from an immersion standpoint. We don't really have any open world Star Wars games on the market with this level of immersion and detail. From everybody's impressions so far it sounds like they nailed the immersion and Star Wars feel of their environments, making just walking through them and exploring entertaining in and of itself. I don't understand when people have said this looks "terrible". I can't wait to explore the world (though admittedly I am going to wait several months for it to surely be patched, lol)

Unlike the vast amount of comments complaining about graphics on that IGN gameplay reveal, I was a lot more worried about the dialogue, specifically the MC who is consantly going "um" and switching between unsure and reckless the entire time. If I'm going to play this game I will be waiting for the mod that removes every "uh" and "um" like I did with Final Fantasy 7, in order to make it bearable.

Also, I didn't get notified of this at all, even now as I watch there's still nothing and all settings are on. Just thought you might want to know (again).

[@calebpritchett8575]

It's bizarre to me that this is a story driven game with a specific character and not a blank slate protagonist that players could fully customize. Depending on the world and the gameplay loop, a game called Outlaws set within Star Wars seems like it would provide players with the creation of...well, their own outlaw, and allow them to pursue whatever criminal activities they wanted, along the lines of Hogwarts Legacy. It would definitely increase my own replayability that's for sure. But that's clearly not the direction Ubi went with this. I mean, just imagine something similar-ish to the Division, with missions like assassinations, bounties, smuggling, merc/muscle for crime lords, etc. with the goal of building your own criminal empire. I don't think that would be just a reskin of the Division. It adds much needed customizability so players would have a reason to come back again and again. I hate to say it, but it could even lend itself better to a live service model, which is what publishers have been pushing for in the last few years anyway. Helldivers shows that if you do it right, people will show up (yes, I know the player counts have been dropping, but I suspect the next update will probably cause some folks, myself included, to return). You could do it in single player, but co-op would be a necessary addition. Building a crime syndicate with your friends could be an absolute blast. Seems like the wait for a solid underworld crime game in Star Wars continues!

[@JagsP95]

What you are suggesting is that they use creativity and logic to make a better game. That is not a common thing for them!

[@calebpritchett8575]

@@JagsP95 lol basically, yeah. Looking at Outlaws I just don't feel anything. I couldn't care less about the story because there's not freedom to create and explore my own characters' stories in the Star Wars universe. Sure some of that might be because of the state of Star Wars right now, but I think it's more a reflection of the bankrupt creatives churning out new drivel as you indicated.

[@screaminjesus]

I prefer games with a pre-defined character. Hogwarts legacy is a perfect example of why, hogwarts legacy main character is ridiculously bland. I'd take RDR2 or TW3 over that any day of the week.

It also helps that the characters, story, and world design is fantastic. But just standing and shooting, running and shooting, or hiding behind cover and shooting... it just looks really boring. The vehicles look fun though, so I'm kind of hoping they'll add vehicles to the next Jedi game. 😅 (Instead of just a set-piece, which was a great moment, but I would love to have some podracing or speeder bikes)
