Games like this makes me realize how great Red Dead Redemption 2's open world is. You can bump into people, call them names, start fights, tie people up, put them on your horse, deliver them to the sheriff for bounties etc. This game's open world has none of that, which makes it feel shallow in comparison.

I think Jake covers that pretty well. The TLDW: wait for patches, maybe wait for the inevitable discount, and if you're not a big SW fan who likes these types of games it probably won't shift the dial. I agree. A game doesn't have to chain home runs, I'd play mid at a discount , but "has its moments" isn't going to cut it.

All the negativity surrounding Star Wars Outlaws, is absolutely justified. The Standard edition of this game has a chunk missing out of it, in order to push the gamer to choose a more expensive version. The Standard version is $70 and it's rife with bugs, poor character performance, almost non existent character development and very clumsy game mechanics all round. The main character looks NOTHING like the model they used to design the character(which begs the question as to why they even bothered hiring an actress for this game?) 98% of all reviewers(the honest ones)....are completely trashing this game and you think it's some shady conspiracy?? Hey...if you want to piss away anywhere from $70 ro $130 for this game, then go for it....but you were warned(for very valid reasons.)

You will NEVER get that simply because that’s not what Star Wars is anymore. It’s the moment Disney bought the rights, you had to accept that it was going to a big, hollow franchise to print money. What prints money is family friendly fun with ‘cool action set pieces’, ‘hilarious and relatable dialogue’ (“THEY FLY NOW????”), and safe, easy storylines that do not dare challenge the audience EVEN SLIGHTLY. That’s Disney, bud. They did the same to Marvel - it’s like when, as a kid, you’d mix all the amazing colours of playdough together and you’d be left with tofu grey. For what it’s worth, I’ve subbed to Ubisoft Plus for the month and I’m having a fun time with the game. It’s fun to switch my brain off and zip about Tatooine, watching the little fucking squeaky guys chirp “wabbacheebadoopdoop”.

It has been about merch and licensing since empire. Think of all the books, games, toys, comics, etc. All there to make the actual money. Why do you think the prequels were release when they were?

I personally was disappointed with Jedi survivor,it was enjoyable but the map in a way was just too big and bland.

I played the prologue last night, it took me about 90 minutes and I thought it was pretty average. A 6 out of 10, a 7 if you love Star Wars. My biggest gripe was that I had the game set at the highest difficulty and somewhere along the way I had to check if I actually did that because it was so easy, but it was indeed the hardest difficulty. I'm hoping the quality will pick up after the prologue. But if it stays at this 7 it is still a gorgeous game where I get to explore more of the Star Wars universe, which I love. I also couldn't stop myself from thinking they made Kay ugly on purpose whenever she was in full view. I really wish I didn't know about that.

So you say higher score if star wars fan? Why do you say that since it seems like pretty removed from star wars usual theme and simply existing in the same universe?

I just wish these games would let us make our own character. Pick one of the iconic races even with a handful of names that can be added into the dialogue. Game is not too bad.

I played every AC at launch. Since AC1. big AC fan. Read all the books, comics, even played all the mobile games, PSP games, DS games, even the board game. The new prince of persia was also so good the demo convinced me to buy it. Don't regret it. Also played wildlands and breakpoint. Those games are so much fun. Also played siege at launch for about 2 years. For honor is unique. Division is also still going strong but was too time consuming for me. Far cry primal was my favorite and I still love that game.

[@rangersnut]

There is a good Star wars adventure here. What I would say is the ai needs improving. I have had Ai see me through a box even when I sat still and they weren't alerted prior and it wrecked my mission sending me back to the start. Also I am getting fed up sending nix as a distraction and it does nothing sometimes. They need to check point the stealth missions more fairly. They need to give players the manual ability to fire from the speeder even if that is only allowed when being chased or shot at. I hope they also add the ability for Kay to use helmets, change hair style or hats. Outside of that, there is a lot as a fan of Star Wars that I am enjoying. It just needs patched and some improvements. I hope they do a CDPR and commit to making it better. That would be a good turn by Ubisoft and they owe it to people who bought the game to make improvements.

There are plenty of Ubisoft games that are a good time. AC Odyssey, OC Origins, Far Cry 6. But they are mindless open world schlock. This game is TRYING to be more than that but it doesn't succeed, I think that's part of the big issue with it.

[@auggie3725]

Same here. I find their recent games to be good "time-wasters" when I don't really have any other games to play or something else to do and they're on sale. You can see that they try to do something new with each game but their execution generally falls flat so you just end up playing an average/good game.

Did they fix my biggest issue with the demo? : The protagonist had constant verbal diarrhea, in the same style as Forspoken. She constantly had to comment about whatever she was doing, whether it was in the middle of a firefight, or just jogging down a hallway. For some reason they felt it was essential for the character to not go more than 10 seconds without making some inane comment, because that's somehow "immersive", even though only people with tinfoil hats go around talking to themselves all the time.

I was on the fence about buying this, for quite a while, but in the end took the risk and I'm really glad I did. I was 8 when the original 77 film came out, and although not a massive Star wars geek, have enjoyed the films and TV series. Sure there are some things about the game that seem a bit dumb - the not being able to pick up and keep weapons for example. But...there is loads to do and explore and its very immersive, you really feel part of the world. The spaceship stuff is a massive improvement on Starfield (too many loading screens) and the puzzle element is cool - finding the right stealth route through a space station without getting caught, the mini parkour sections. -if you do get caught, there are plenty of checkpoints, so its never too frustrating. There is a huge amount to explore here, the sound and visuals are great (the close ups of some characters are a bit basic, but not. deal breaker). Compared to recent Ubisoft games (Valhalla and Mirage) this is really good stuff - i'd say for anyone who enjoyed Borderlands or maybe Cyberpunk, take a risk with this, sure there are some parts of the game that could be improved, and maybe they will patch them, but it's top quality fun and pure escapism, highly recommended here :)

[@cenciende9401]

What a dumb comment. Unless you're a time traveller you didn't know anything. You couldn't make it more obvious that you don't play anything from Ubisoft if you tried. Far Cry (before 6 which was disappointing) Assassin's Creed Origins/Odyssey etc, Avatar game was good too, that's just the recent stuff. Not to mention their willingness to experiment and try new things in main entries and especially spin-off games within a series. Far more so than most publishers who just play it safe. Grow up and get a clue.

[@HenjineerSeven]

@cenciende9401 name anything remotely "experimental" Ubisoft has done beyond Rabbids v. Mario. Bloated open world games are their thing. If you have fun checking off 500 POIs on a world map, more power to you. If you have fun with them, that's great, really. I'm not telling anyone they're wrong for enjoying them, I just know what to expect, and nothing they've done recently changed my mind. You don't need to take criticism of something you like as a personal attack. Heck, I even said I was interested in playing this flavor of Ubi's open world, I'm just not expecting any surprises, that's ok. If you want to break it down, though (these are my opinions, not objective facts) Valhalla was a mess of genres that was the furthest departure from the original semi-steath based games (why does AC game need Diablo style stat tweaking on gear?). Watch Dogs 2 admittedly tried something novel, but roguelite characters in an open world narrative game aren't compelling. Ghost Recon's open world forays are also the same: huge world without too many interesting things to do with tacked on and pointless RPG mechanics. I honedty can't comment on Farcry, FPS games just aren't my thing, so same goes for Xdefiant and Seige.
