Okay, so the more insidious empire? The empire of Andor? That was the empire before Palpatine had "All the cards" in his hand. Around the time when Outlaws would be set, it would be the empire of post Alderaan. They had already blown up a planet, all just to "Send a message" to a rebellion that had only just been born. The point isn't that they are "comically evil", it's that they are inept. Palpatine, by that point, did not want to run an empire. He was able to lose the mask he'd been wearing basically since Episode 1.

Honestly the lack of customization is what did it in for me. theres a couple upgrades here and there and some skins but thats it. To me for a open world game thats disappointing for me.

Also, I'd like to throw in the fact you cant really interact with the world around you was probably the worst part.

You could choose being either a heavy a light. Gunslinger. Its just sooo mucb they could have done. And i mean an F ton but nooooo.

This game was made for me. The game isn't perfect from a gameplay stand point. But is it fun...? I think it is fun enough to warrant a play through. It's the most fun I have had running around in the Star Wars Galaxy since SWG back in the day.

[@Morphologis]

This is par for the industry, especially on big controversial releases. Time crunch to get things out on embargo lift his huge, so some need to rush through the game to 100% the main story in order to deliver an opinion, but in rushing they don't take the time to play it as the creator intended causing them to sometimes miss vital story elements and character development. This is why I posted earlier this week I wasn't going to post on embargo lift, I didn't want to feel that pressure and deliver a half-baked opinion. I let the game cook, experienced as much as I could, and I'm glad for it. I would have missed out on a ton of extra abilities and features, I probably wouldn't have even known they were there. In fact, even giving myself extra time wasn't completely enough. After posting, I kept playing, and discovered a secret skill giver with a great story tie to ND-5. I'll leave it at that.

[@adambrush5445]

I understand the criticisms of this game but on the whole it's an excellent Star Wars adventure. The variety of the environments is the main reason for that. I enjoy how the game rewards you for exploring and taking on as many side hustles as possible. Doing as many side quests as possible before completing the main story is the best way to get the most out of it. I played this game on a high end PC and sometimes the graphics looked good in the background but others were lacking, most notably the facial expressions of the characters seems blank half the time and I got issues with colour banding I don't seem to get with other games. I always enjoy a stealth game but at times this game only had one obvious stealth path from point A-B. A good stealth game should have the capacity to allow the player to make their own stealth approach instead of the only path engineered into the game.

FWIW, I'm about 12hrs in and am enjoying it. It might sound weird, but it reminds me of my time with Death Stranding; where it wasn't about the fight mechanics or battling the bosses, and most of your time is spent simply running your business. If you pick a fight with stormtroopers, it escalates so fast that I end up regretting it :-) so most of the time I'm avoiding them. It's the sort of game where you stop and spend the time watching the guards do their rounds, and plan your approach so that you're hidden in tall grass...and then can clobber one guy while he's looking away and before his buddy comes back in view. It's not a run and gun game at all. Overall I'd say I'm enjoying it as much as I enjoyed Jedi Survivor so far.

If I really suck at stealthy gameplay because I'm a button masher and I'm old and I'm not going to "get good" because my hands are getting worse... can I still have a good time with this? Is the inability to complete stealth-based challenges without just shooting people instead a game-breaker? I just want a good star wars story and entertainingly fun gameplay, nothing to beat my head against. Is this game for casuals?

[@saintjasin]

Yeah man, I really like this game so far. Nowadays, so often we see viral negativity started by a few reviewers and taken up by a massive mob of people who have never even played the game. I enjoy the stealth aspects, and that is coming from someone who rarely enjoys stealth mechanics. The missions unfold in a really nice way with good but not overwhelming approach choice. The world is interesting and fun to explore, uncovering clues feels natural. The UI and design aesthetic nails it. The combat is decent. I don't know how people can gripe about combat and compare it to Red Dead or whatever, Rockstar combat is always janky and can be cheesed. Saying Far Cry or other open world games are better makes no sense to me. Far Cry? With those generic corny unbelievable characters? The Star Wars setting really helps this game for me personally, I really enjoyed the world, the cities, etc. I don't know man. I purposefully chose to just relax and take in the game for what it was and I found it easy to suspend disbelief and be engaged in the story and my personal progression. This game is a true 8.0 - 9.0 for me because getting me to give a fuck about doing things in an open world or the story of some random franchise is getting harder and harder these days. If you like Star Wars and can enjoy it, and gaming, without nitpicking and searching for hot takes this game is solid. Ans as a plus, since this is getting panned so hard you can wait for a sale. People out here trying to get that petty cash by making the hottest take, don't let the negativity mob get in your way of enjoying this hobby.

Well beyond triple A if you look at it. 70 bucks is just barely the base game (same scheme with AC shadows) and the true base is the next price up. Then there's the preposterous 130 dollar price for what? "Dlc"? Extra quest(s)? Stuff that was made before the games release and yet the studio has the gall to ask for more money to include it? That right there is a scummy practice that needs to be nipped in the bud. It's exactly what the entire argument was back when dlcs became a thing. I never had a problem forking over more money for fresh content to expand and enhance these worlds i came to love. But it's hard to argue against the entire controversy that once was when the dlc is being sold along the "base" game before it's even been released ya know lol. And all that to say, besides your original point which i absolutely agree with brotha.

This ^ When compared to games 10 or even 15 years older than this game, those older games blow this game out of the water, the gameplay, mechanics, facial animations, general npc interactiveness, environment interactivity, no swimming, stealth mechanics, just about everything I have comes up as an empty shell of a game, especially one they say is open world. It's easy to have an open world when there's basically nothing in it and nothing reacts or interacts with each other. They really don't expect people to compare it to older games? Why not, older games are always the baseline for new games, just sitting this game apart and only comparing it to itself is pointless.

I have Ubisoft+ at founder's level pricing ($14.99/month), and I play a lot of Ubisoft games, so for me it's worth it, but I will say my rating of the game is at least somewhat influenced by the fact that I didn't pay a minimum of $70 or a maximum of $130 for it.

To be fair to the backlash tho, Morph, i'm sensing that you're new to Ubisoft products. To understand the backlash, you need the context of Ubisoft's long legacy + their continuing degrading quality. Whether it's the gameplay, animation, cutscenes, dialogue, storytelling, characterizations; a lot of them have been done pretty much better in their past (even the positives you've mentioned). So it would be understandable that you're quite positive on the product on it's own since you might not have that perspective yet, but i personally wouldn't dismiss the backlash as their former fan.

[@MrSpleenboy]

In all honesty, most of the hate that I've seen has been more down to "the woke agenda" and being forced to play a (as one poster on here put it) "fugly DEI scoundrel"... Whilst I agree that the in-game depiction of Kay Vess is not as pretty as her voice actor, she is IMO far from fugly, but some people are going to find something to complain about, about anything.

I mean, they are pretty evil here in Outlaws but they still perform patrol duty (to keep the citizens safe *ahm*) fight of pirates in space and you can even get to talk to some crooked ones for loosing some heat.

The most 5/10 game of all time. This game is a disappointment, and im very glad I didnt get hurt by ubisoft and their terrible practices especially with the 3 day early access purchasers. Its really sad to see good reviews on a soulless and poorly designed game with ass takedown animations, fake stealth gameplay and poor weapon mechanics all trying to piggyback on the history of the rich star wars IP Overall, this game is a disgrace to the otherwise excellent art and ground locations that the artists worked so hard on.

Spot on and well said. The fact so many Gen Z/Gen A gamers are okay with this Ubislop corposlop is disheartening. We are literally moving backwards now in gaming. Games from 20 years ago still run circles around all this modern corposlop. Halo 3 is also still one of the best FPS games ever made and no console game has come remotely close. Mad Max and Max Payne 3 are still two of the best TPS games ever made and no game has remotely come close to those since then. It's just embarrassing. Plainly embarrassing.

Ubislop corposlop. Anyway game ain’t as bad as y’all making it seem just not worth the money. Probably gonna buy it when a sale occurs.

the stealth takedown animation when she hits their helmets is already too much for me. no thanks

[@StevesgamingWorld]

I've played Outlaws and so far it's a lot of fun and I'm really enjoying it. More so than I did Jedi Fallen Order. The game doesn't deserve the hate it's received.

Yeah it does wym?

[@Sgt.chickens]

@@leto_atreusII Great argument bro you really put your point forward so we can all understand what your problem is.

[@leto_atreusII]

@@Sgt.chickens The crappy main character design, the buggy mess release, the preorder scams, the cut content scams, the low quality, the overblown budget, the copy-paste content, the lifeless animations, the broken AI, the many gameplay design flaws, the entitlement and gaslighting from the developers...I am sure there's more but you get the picture.

[@brittrugg2676]

@@leto_atreusIII disagree with your opinion. I like it.

[@leto_atreusII]

@@brittrugg2676 That was not my opinion, those were just facts. Of course it's a tolerable, enjoyable product, but it's not worth 110 dollars for an early access that deletes your save file rendering the early access period virtually useless, it's not worth 70 dollars so that they can sell you cut content as day 1 DLC on their unfinished, buggy, copy paste, unoptimized, sanitized, corporate aproved, bland story, bland characters with a tinge of leftist agenda game, now, if you like getting scammed out of your money by companies on subpar product that's a you problem chief.🤷

[@Obisul]

I really like this review. I was seeing all the negativity around the game and wondering if I was on some copium. Good game. not perfect. Thank you as always for the level headed opinions.

[@Artecius92]

Nice review Morph, while I won't be picking up the game as I have long lost interest in the SW universe after the abysmal showing from Disney's ownership. Hopefully they can do a lot more with the series in the future and bring us something truly top tier to re-invigorate the franchise.

[@danielbalder]

Thanks for the different perspective! I will definitely pick this up when it's on a super sale. Mediocre/Bad gameplay, great aesthetics and world building. I think that's a reasonable trade to play through and experience once.

[@baronvonslapnuts]

Some KZbinrs are literally paying their bills by shitting on anything Star Wars. It's refreshing to see an honest take. Great video, Morph!

[@positronikiss]

U dunno if this was paid by ubi or sumeone else doe ;p

[@valithevali]

@@positronikiss He literally says it's not paid in the video

@@valithevali Ahh ok. Thx for the info.

[@reclaimer3439]

As a Star Wars fan I loved the game. It is not perfect, I experienced some weird glitches on Xbox but living in this world is a blast. Handing Lando his ass in Sabacc is legit fun. I think this review was pretty spot on.

[@JerelyBrowne]

I really wonder what it would look like if Rockstar made a Star Wars game😭

[@hyve5761]

first of all, you'd have to wait about 10 years for it to release

[@anuph.3806]

@@hyve5761 id arather wait ten years than play this, at least we would have more than one friggin vehicle to traverse the planet with, like I cant believe u literally have only those hover bikes, no mounts from Starr wars nothing, so lazy.

[@jonathanjacobs8989]

If they actually put their heart and soul into it? It would be the Star Wars game every fan ever wanted.

[@matthewpringle1978]

Im enjoying with the game so far. I didn't want an overly complicated game, just something to pick up when I have the time and to just have fun with. Yes it reminds me of other Ubi games, but I have enjoyed those too, they tend to listen to feedback and support the game for a long time after release. I hope they do with this, polish certain mechanics, add new features and missions and just make the game playable long after you have completed the main story line.
