And I hope people give the 3-day early access the resounding cold-shoulder that it deserves; it costs Ubisoft $0 to offer that, and it should therefore be valued at $0 by customers. If it's ready to go 72 hours earlier than originally planned (it won't be) then that's when it should hit shelves. Waiting to launch the game until after the servers are ready (they won't be) is no different removing Day 1 DLC in order to add it to a deluxe addition.

[@wolfthegreat87]

another thing back then too is that if a game WAS buggy, it was bashed by anyone who bought it and therefore didn't sell well. Nowadays you have people settling and even DEFENDING games that release in buggy, unfinished states because "they'll fix it post-launch" (they usually don't).

[@1977Yakko]

No, talking about the character being ugly is a legitimate discussion too. Honestly, what's the point of hiring a model to base the character off of if the character isn't going to resemble her in the slightest? It's agenda and ideology, subverting story and design elements. The other business choices being made merit discussion too of course and they need to be called out but it's just a few of many bad choices being made in the development of thus game.

[@ddegn]

"the character being ugly is a legitimate discussion too." I think a big reason why many people are irritated is there is a strong suspicion the publishers purposefully made the character ugly to please feminists.

@@phoenix211245 Imma be honest, I really like some of the canon content, particularly the books, which have done some things right, but a new universe might be what's needed.

[@Mann528]

@@phoenix211245 I can definitely see where you are coming from, I think some serious pruning is needed, but as much as I love Legends, it is done and bringing it back will only worsen things IMO. Keep the core shows like TCW, Andor, Solo, Rogue One, the OT and PT, and the good books. This gives you a very solid base with heaps of room to expand and mold the story while also giving it a fresh enough start

Does anyone else remember when you could buy a complete Star Wars game for £40 brand new, could create your own character...and it had a really well written story-driven narrative that you could invest many hours of time in, again and again...because it was genuinely fun? Oh and you could mod it fairly easily too, for funzies. It was back in the LucsArts days...they were wonderous times...so what the hell happened? *Greed* They want around £100 for this semi-finished game??? *Forget that NO WAY*

[@rodolfohernandez3303]

Star Wars Outlaws just simply doesn't generate hype like passed other Star Wars games in the last years like Star Wars Jedi Fallen Orden, Star Wars Squadrons and most recently Star Wars Jedi Survivor. One watched the trailer and immediately the reaction was "I WANNA PLAY IT" and with Outlaws the reaction is just "MEH" I thinks this new entry in the Star Wars gaming world is gonna flop badly.

[@stuartl7761]

I wasn't really looking to buy this game either way at the moment. But I can't imagine finishing a brand new game in a month, especially with how big they make them these days. I play through things slowly and methodically and I've got other things I spend time on.

Star wars has always used 70s and 80s hairstyles. Especially for the Imperial era, because thats what was in style when the OT was released. Clunky scifi tech and old hairstyles is a part of the charm. Personally I think the hair is cute. The face and especially the eyes tho are inconsistent and off putting.

The gold edition gets you the season pass which they've announced they have 2 DLCs planned for the future. The gold edition is essentially pre-ordering the DLCs and as a incentive/thank you reward for investing more into their game you get 1 single mission extra at launch. That doesn't seem too unfair to me. If you buy just the base game you get everything minus that one mission and you can still buy the DLCs whenever they do come out.
