@@mqrlors compared to outlaws. I looked into it again because of this comment and the low resolution is tough and gameplay is repetitive but story and overall it's the much better game. Outlaws has dog shit story, characters, gameplay mechanics with fee exceptions ( speeder). The stealth is a complete joke, the blaster is a joke, the ki is worse than in ac2 ...etc. outlaws is just an incredible uninspired woke pile of trash. AC 2 is mediocre at best nowadays but that's still better
The wildest part of this whole story is that Ubisoft is full of people who are so out of touch with reality that they were completely blindsided by the poor sales and complaints. I guess that’s what happens when you spend years getting rid of anyone in your company who’s remotely competent and replace them with people who refuse to even play video games and treat their refusal as a badge of honor
Devs replaced by accountants and execs. Real gamers replaced by quick-insta-fame-fake-gurus. By people who, in past, called us 'losers' cuz we were gamers or loved Anime. I recently made a John Wick style action montage using Splinter Cell Blacklist stylish takedowns. Looks badass with music I chose. If only we got a proper JW game that way, Ubi could license...They had all the right tools; if only didn't take real gamers who made this industry collossus for granted...
A few things I didn't hear in this video and frustrated me throughout the game 1. Bugs. I had the game crash on me or freeze on me several times. I can't tell what's causing it. 2. Some areas and collision detection is way off. Immersive braking as Kay gets stuck in bushes and rocks. 3. The whole thing about how I can only climb or walk where it is allowed and cannot climb where I am not. Imagine a pile or rocks almost forming a stairs up and the game won't allow to climb it. This is so 1990s. 4. "Get back to the playing area 5..4...3..2..1"... Are you kidding me? Why am I constrained into a box? Even in space, I just happened to boost away in a direction and the countdown begun. Another 1990 thing. 5. Speeder is horrible to handle. Having only full gas or off is bad, no gradual throttle control, not to mention the terrible controls, I had to turn off the mouse. Maybe works for you guys on the console, but with mouse and keyboard, the controls had to be adjusted immediately. Whoever designed it has never designed vehicles in games. 6. The game needs patches badly. I know the game isn't the best thing since sliced bread, but please at least start patching it up. People who are barely hanging on like me, who are major Star Wars geeks, we are getting turned off by the game breaking bugs. 7. Dropping the weapon if I do something other than shooting, this doesn't look like a game feature, it's almost like this game wasn't finished. That would also explain that there are several places on the maps that looks like designed to have something , like big doors or hidden caves and yet it's inaccessible.
the game is simply too big of a scope... I don't know what motivated these high level CEO to create something ambitious without a meaning to an end... They can simply create a boxed game, with unique mechanic, no need for cutting edge graphic, packed with 13hrs story, end withba cliffhanger, and call it a day. Instead, they create a self destructive project because they aimlessly aim for sheer size.
Admittedly I have not played the majority of "Ubisoft games". So my point of reference will be different than other gamers who have. Having said that, judging Star Wars Outlaws on its own and without any other point of reference, I have to say I am THOROUGHLY enjoying the story, the immersive music, and the main line quest. There is enough side mission content to occupy interest, and enough straight-line linear main mission to keep the game moving forward. I love the setting between Empire and Return timeline. I am as critical as they come on things I spend money on. I love the game and love it for it solely and not in comparison or contrast to any other game. I fully respect other gamers' opinions that differ from mine. This was an ambitious project for any developer and I think they did it well.
Ocean wide, puddle deep when it comes to actual gameplay design with UBI. It's blasphemous that internally, they were refering to this as 'red dead star wars'. A single npc in red dead 2 has more detail and dynamism than most of the gameplay systems in outlaws.
Sad but true. I looked forward to this game. Really thought it would be great, and even preordered it (first and last time I’ll ever preorder any game). But from the get go, once I got to Toshara… and drove around Toshara… and couldn’t leave Toshara… and had to go back yet again to sneak in and get some data pad in that same imperial base on Toshara… I became bored and frustrated with this game. Once I could leave Toshara, it was already too late. The game was dead to me, a boring slog till the end. Uninstalled as soon as I completed the main story, never to be played again. Lesson learned.
First proper open world Star Wars game? Really? I guess I imagined Star Wars Galaxies and The Old Republic, which I apparently didn't play for years upon years each.
Just started playing it yesterday, dont understand the narrative here. Its fun, the story is not bad at all and I'm not a star wars fan boy definitely not a ubisoft fan boy
I was to. Until the game completely broke on me on the very last mission. I’m stuck in space and can’t land on any planet or fast travel to any location.
I appreciate the review man. Still I’m going to pass. I was hoping to create my own character or maybe let us play as a male(kind of like odyssey & valhalla). Plus I’m getting tired of the Ubisoft formula & the rebellion era. I’ve played so many of their open world games and I’m burned out. I just wish Ubisoft would bring back their old mascot Rayman.

@@adroninggoodtime Excellent comment my friend , personally I luv it as it is I understand what they were aiming at , criticisms or improvements from me ... more fluid movement , better HUD as you can't see the icons a lot of the time when the screens too bright other than that I think it's bloody fantastic oh and a crash course in Sabbac lol ... other Star Wars games are very samey this is a bit different , what would you wish for?
@@youtubeanalyst-l3z personally if I was in charge of making an open world Star Wars game that I wanted to sell a lot of copies and be loved by fans I would have polled a lot of gamers and gaming channels to ask exactly what they want, I would have used all locations that fans were familiar with at least, e.g. Endor, Naboo, Hoth etc tried to do most locations fans are familiar with, personally I would have made the main character a Jedi or Han Solo depending on what fans would prefer
I’m just waiting for the third Jedi game but as I said before many times, we probably won’t be getting a trailer for in the next year and a half at least…
Yea Cal Kestis is the ONLY good thing that has happened with the Disney Lucasfilm buy out and I mean that literally, everything else has been atrocious. Once the final Jedi game comes out I think I’m done with this franchise for good. I’ve fully moved on to Dune. I’m just sticking around for Cal and that’s it.
@@JungleJetAviation06 yeah even though I do like Andor I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite thing to come from Disney Star Wars when it comes to original things I do prefer the Jedi games they have my favorite characters come from the franchise since Disney bought Lucas and I think they’re both better than Andor by a fair portion and there are some other things I like better than Andor but if I were to explain why we would be here all day…
This game is suffering from the The Last Of Us 2 effect, which is causing outrage and causing people to either call it perfect or absolute trash, when in reality it's neither. I do think TLOU 2 is on the better side, while Outlaws is fairly mediocre, however, it's no different than most other mediocre games out there
That's happening with everything these days. Modern internet discourse surrounding movies/shows/games has become a cesspool of narrow minded idiots sitting on extremes for attention.
Absolutely spot on. I've actually had a lot of fun with Outlaws and also some frustrations but overall it's been a good experience. Far from the dumpster fire people have claimed.
@@GameOverloadMO Because saying "Hey, this game is just meh" doesn't generate views. You need to convince people that it is the worst thing since the Holocaust. Being overly dramatic and radicalized is what grabs people. 98% of everyone criticizing Outlaws never touched it
@@marzipanmonkey Yup. The game is legit pretty average. Hell, I'd say that the biggest problem is how expensive it is. For a full 70 dollars it is far from a great deal. It falls in the category of most Ubisoft titles, which is to get it under a sale
Damn it's sad how much of an insult the title really is. Something like that should be a positive thing. Imagine "the most FROMSOFT game ever" or "the most Larian ever" people would be like HELL YES TAKE MY MONEY but with ubisoft it's just a big stinky turd.
For me, it's amazing. Generally speaking and not on this channel, I've found the biggest knockers of the game are mysoginistic incels. The game is DEFINITELY NOT open world. I totally agree it's hybrid. Never played star field but definitely like Survivor/Fallen Order. If I paid full amount on release, I'd be angry. I traded a load of old games that I don't play, obtained from CEX for 'free'. I'm therefore happy. A lot of other channels seem to have a major problem with the character being female. I like the way you've reviewed this. Much respect.
The Star wars collectables should have been Ubisoft's magnum opus in my opinion. How?- Build the world with knowledge from past comics like batman, or if not- leave collectable animated objects from the comics like The Spiderman games. or just do the easy one, do the stuff above, just purely from the movies.
Great review, this is the most accurate review I've seen or read so far. So many of the little nitpicking things you brought up have really bothered me when playing. My main issue is how uninspired the whole thing feels. When you create a product, you are supposed to come up with a good story and then figure out the technology of your product to tell it. This game feels like they built the story around the technology and the standard Ubisoft formula that we've seen 100 times before. There are cool moments sprinkled throughout, but then there are baffling design decisions or half baked mechanics that more often than not ruin them. Another thing that you mentioned that bothered me were the cameos (at least the ones I've seen so far, I haven't beat it yet). So this takes place between Empire and Jedi. At the end of Empire, we see Lando and Chewie take off to Jabba's Palace. Yet, during the next several months there, Lando leaves as Jabba's guard and shows up at a Sabacc game on a different planet? Then you meet him again on a completely different planet for a fight with Stormtroopers? It makes no sense. Plus, the voice actor was HORRIBLE and sounded nothing like Billy Dee Williams. Takes away the immersion and was just inserted for a "Hey it's Lando!" moment. Same with the Rancor, you end up releasing it, but by the time Luke shows up Jabba has another? Or did they have to go out and catch it? I do have to say though, I LOVE the Sabacc.
Sorry, but there have always been games with large, distinct, explorable areas connected, indirectly (loading screen or fast travel) along with a portion of linear levels and other level types with varied restrictions and degrees of of openess you can move between. Deus EX series has examples, and really, it is what Doom boils down to in the end. They were never called open world because they were not, and are not open world. Corporate raiders have effectively hijacked language so that Breath of the Wild is open world, and so is Star Wars Outlaws. Bethesda might even try to call Starfield open world, I can't be bothered checking. They also call games that can be updated online 'Live service' and charge money for the updates, even when some of the most critically acclaimed games of all time do it for free with much better and far more content, while costing far less upfront and coded by 5% of the devs, or even one person. DLC haha. NO, you pay for what you already have free from more ethical people, we just make up words to hide the truth backed by a marketing budget. Tragic short term thinking. Not tragic for the former Ubiclones who finally start listening and effectively boycott trash like Concord. Open world lol. Biege virtual simulation of totally danger free danger simulator with zero dangerous excitement (body type 1 version) potential or any real feeling at all because feelings offend the already offended.
Why do they think this is what Star Wars gamers want? There was once a time when the likes of Free Radical Designs Battlefront 3, First Assault, and 1313 were the vision. Gritty darker tone games that seem to have vanished. Would love a Star Wars game where you can be whatever you want. Endless character customization, you want to be a Jedi, start your training in Coruscant. You want to be a clone trooper? Choose which battalion/legion or if you want to be an arc or commando. Or a ruthless bounty hunter.. just a game that has it all Vehicle mechanics like Battlefront 2004 where you can just enter any ship on the ground and take off without a cutscene of any kind like how Fallen Order/Survivor handle the Mantis. I want full control damnit
One thing I absolutely agree with - automatic mission failure because of detection should be outlawed! I hated this "feature" as far back as No One Lives Forever (the sequel - very wisely - took that feature out). I hated even more those Assassin's Creed games where one can be "detected" and thus fail the mission if you are seen by an enemy a half-second before you kill that enemy! (Do they instantly broadcast your location to all their allies in, say, Renaissance Italy?) Developers need to understand that "stealth" means attempting not to be seen, but dealing with the consequences if you are. As in, say, Thief, Splinter Cell, Dishonored ...
Pessimistic…I feel you bro. I’ve been very pessimistic where I talk about it most of the time and even makes me sick. Such a beloved franchise was rammed into the ground by Kathleen Kennedy and some of the people below her. Star Wars does not deserve this fate. And the woke…I’m not even going to get started with it because everyone who works at lucasfilm don’t know or care about Star Wars. And then blame fans who actually want something good. Idk man Star Wars is in the worst position it has ever been. If you want llease Star Wars fans, please Star Wars fans. It seems hard but not really 😂
The only good thing Massive are good at is creating beautiful looking environments but that's pretty much it. They can't add nothing to them, they're just beautifully bland and boring.
Imo a great singleplayer game is built around a story that leaves an impression and genuinely moves you. Ubisoft takes a setting and puts something in there that feels just alright, so to say. That’s recipe for disaster and also the turning point for AC if you’d ask me
The way they make games and the people they pick to work on these games is why this game sucks. The combat the stealth all bad because they wanted it to be
Overall I have never had a game give me as much adrenaline and shear joy as this game. I believe generally whether critics are judging games, movies, etc. they tend to be overly critical and nit-picky.
I'm the same way with Ubisoft so through the last few far cry entries. The more I play them, The more hours put in I see them for what they are and how they're put together and I start to despise the game. The more I deviate or try new things the more I get disappointed, and just with time I start to see more patterns and cut corners. At the point where I will no longer buy another Ubisoft game.
They could’ve made her not being able to knockout stormtroopers a thing, later expanding upon it by giving her the ability too with some type of melee stun tool
The more hrs i out the more i liked it 8.5 yes it crashes and AI not very smart but the atmosphere for a star wars game better than jedi survivor i was tired of sabers hack n slash i loved using blasters despite carrying only one blaster still game was overall entertaining and decent overallbwith its flaws. Maybe patches will fix yhise isdues i myself pretty pleased in dome area, disappointed in some bit game was overall fun to play
i wouldnt say this game looks good lets compare it to some old ass game like BF1(yes its old and so are you) its weird to say but BF1 had some truly eye catching rocks to look at but when you see the maps in ubi games those dont hit you that way bcs they had the same detail intensity，and that makes everything blend to each other in BF1s case its clear devs want to show u those rocks and those dirt in trenches so those things get some insane quality of details and that leaves a big impression for whatever you feel wrong about the game, you cant argue those rocks arnt pretty
the same thing can say to wukong as well the peach in the opening is the most beautiful fruit u can see in game to date and they clearly went hard on that peach and are proud to show you how perfect the peach looks
You'd expect him to say it as a negative? He didn't say it just runs, he said it runs well while maxed out on 4k resolution - which is a good bit of information.
@@wolfborntv He is obviously looking for positives desperately. Andy Game Runs Maxed out on a 4090 at 4K so hardly a positive that he should Focus so Long on
@@Zuaxxxhe’s clearly providing context for the performance he encountered. It’s good information. Survivor didn’t run well on a 4090 or did you forget that? The only one looking desperately for anything here is you.
Why is mediocre? I got the game my thoughts is a good game. But I understand need more patches. Eventually And more customization. Plus the storyline is great
Because Ubisoft is capable of making better products but simply choose not to. They were ready to deliver another half baked product with Shadows but saw the reception of Outlaws and realized they can’t get away with mediocre products anymore because their stock is rapidly declining
I mean I played the game for myself. I’ve got no dog in this fight. The game is mid but the visuals are outstanding, you’re not edgy by going against the herd.
I couldn’t wrap my head around what seemed off to me about it tbh. I played a good portion of the game, currently left off on Akiva after getting the Rhodian out of the imperial base (I forgot name because I just don’t care lol) but I stopped playing up to that point maybe about 2 weeks ago and haven’t revisited it since. The game is beautiful in terms of the open world don’t get me wrong but the stealth and dying instantly if your caught just made me so upset and the game is just repetitive. The only good thing about it was just jumping to hyperspace whenever I wanted (which I’ve wanted to do forever, along with the “seamless” landing on planets) but after awhile even that got old really fast. Don’t know if I’ll finish the game but I’m biting myself and hate that I didn’t listen to other commenters on other channels saying don’t waste your money/time. Once I turned the game off I played Jedi Survivor for like the 7th time and breathed a sigh of utter relief lmao.
My thoughts on Outlaws: The game is definitely ubisoft in it's purest form which may turn off many. But some like myself don't mind it. I had more issue with the ST references here and there. But given it takes place after episode 5 and before episode 6 for a change is nice. I did not like the disney trilogy. But I guess I don't mind having only the planets from the ST but set before that era is alright. It's a decent compromise. That aside, the game is really fun. The wanted system and open nature of the game makes it very replayable for me. But what really won me over was Nix. That little guy is probably the best thing for me about this whole game.🤩😍 His little animations like hopping on your speeder when u get close and looking at you hoping to go for a ride is fricken adorable. Along with the way he plays dead when u ask him to distract a guard or point your gun at him and the little interactions u can have with him when eating meals. God hes so cute. Lol The story was alright. I didn't love it or dislike it. It was serviceable. But evreything around the story was so fun that I didn't mind. (Minus the instant fail stealth missions ovcourse..) The backlash the game is getting should be directed to ubisoft higher ups. Not the devs themselves. Clearly alot of love went into this game from what I can see. The game didn't deserve to be completely review bombed. If I'm going to be as honest as possible, I would give it a good 7/10. Anything below a 6 or 5 is not right. The game does far more correctly than it does wrong. And I feel an 7/10 reflects that very well. I only hope we get atleast one more planet in the dlc expansions coming up. And maybe a few QOL improvements and fixes to make it better as it Definitely needs that. Anyway, that's about it. Just felt that I needed to say something and be as fair and realistic as possible while not being blinded by hate. 🙂👍
Bro, FarCry 6 and GR Breakpoint are the most Ubisoft game ever lol Outlaws isn't as bad as most youtubers try to make it honestly, but damn is that stealth shakey lol
Having an open-world Star Wars game means nothing if you can't really customize your character in any way, shape or form. Let me chose race, if I want to be a Jedi or a Sith or anything in between, a bounty hunter, a mandalorian, there is so many options ffs

Yea Cal Kestis is the ONLY good thing that has happened with the Disney Lucasfilm buy out and I mean that literally, everything else has been atrocious. Once the final Jedi game comes out I think I’m done with this franchise for good. I’ve fully moved on to Dune. I’m just sticking around for Cal and that’s it.
@@JungleJetAviation06 honestly I’m looking more forward to the third Jedi game than I am Andor season 2 and I like Andor…
@@Milothemighty10 I saw the first season and it was alright but I’m hesitant to watch the second season, don’t know why.
@@JungleJetAviation06 yeah even though I do like Andor I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite thing to come from Disney Star Wars when it comes to original things I do prefer the Jedi games they have my favorite characters come from the franchise since Disney bought Lucas and I think they’re both better than Andor by a fair portion and there are some other things I like better than Andor but if I were to explain why we would be here all day…
@@Milothemighty10 Totally agree.
Im so thankful i spent my money on metaphor instead
the game has received updates.
I have recently asked "have they removed the *mandatory* stealth missions?" the content creator said no.
Are they toooooooo hard for you 😂?
This game is suffering from the The Last Of Us 2 effect, which is causing outrage and causing people to either call it perfect or absolute trash, when in reality it's neither. I do think TLOU 2 is on the better side, while Outlaws is fairly mediocre, however, it's no different than most other mediocre games out there
That's happening with everything these days. Modern internet discourse surrounding movies/shows/games has become a cesspool of narrow minded idiots sitting on extremes for attention.
Absolutely spot on. I've actually had a lot of fun with Outlaws and also some frustrations but overall it's been a good experience. Far from the dumpster fire people have claimed.
Outlaws is fun that's all that matters to me. I actually like hearing the haters they are all a bunch of cry babies.
@@GameOverloadMO Because saying "Hey, this game is just meh" doesn't generate views. You need to convince people that it is the worst thing since the Holocaust. Being overly dramatic and radicalized is what grabs people. 98% of everyone criticizing Outlaws never touched it
@@marzipanmonkey Yup. The game is legit pretty average. Hell, I'd say that the biggest problem is how expensive it is. For a full 70 dollars it is far from a great deal. It falls in the category of most Ubisoft titles, which is to get it under a sale
Seems like this game would've been garbage even if it didn't have the Star Wars name stitched on
The more you play the less you like the game is a Ubisoft trademark at this point.
Here’s my complete & totally unbiased opinion on Star Wars Outlaws, but first a message from the sponsors who pay me 😅
And have literally nothing to do with the game, so what’s your point?
Damn it's sad how much of an insult the title really is. Something like that should be a positive thing. Imagine "the most FROMSOFT game ever" or "the most Larian ever" people would be like HELL YES TAKE MY MONEY but with ubisoft it's just a big stinky turd.
For me, it's amazing. Generally speaking and not on this channel, I've found the biggest knockers of the game are mysoginistic incels. The game is DEFINITELY NOT open world. I totally agree it's hybrid. Never played star field but definitely like Survivor/Fallen Order. If I paid full amount on release, I'd be angry. I traded a load of old games that I don't play, obtained from CEX for 'free'. I'm therefore happy. A lot of other channels seem to have a major problem with the character being female. I like the way you've reviewed this. Much respect.
The Star wars collectables should have been Ubisoft's magnum opus in my opinion.
How?- Build the world with knowledge from past comics like batman, or if not- leave collectable animated objects from the comics like The Spiderman games.
or just do the easy one, do the stuff above, just purely from the movies.
Great review, this is the most accurate review I've seen or read so far. So many of the little nitpicking things you brought up have really bothered me when playing. My main issue is how uninspired the whole thing feels. When you create a product, you are supposed to come up with a good story and then figure out the technology of your product to tell it. This game feels like they built the story around the technology and the standard Ubisoft formula that we've seen 100 times before. There are cool moments sprinkled throughout, but then there are baffling design decisions or half baked mechanics that more often than not ruin them. Another thing that you mentioned that bothered me were the cameos (at least the ones I've seen so far, I haven't beat it yet). So this takes place between Empire and Jedi. At the end of Empire, we see Lando and Chewie take off to Jabba's Palace. Yet, during the next several months there, Lando leaves as Jabba's guard and shows up at a Sabacc game on a different planet? Then you meet him again on a completely different planet for a fight with Stormtroopers? It makes no sense. Plus, the voice actor was HORRIBLE and sounded nothing like Billy Dee Williams. Takes away the immersion and was just inserted for a "Hey it's Lando!" moment. Same with the Rancor, you end up releasing it, but by the time Luke shows up Jabba has another? Or did they have to go out and catch it? I do have to say though, I LOVE the Sabacc.
Sorry, but there have always been games with large, distinct, explorable areas connected, indirectly (loading screen or fast travel) along with a portion of linear levels and other level types with varied restrictions and degrees of of openess you can move between. Deus EX series has examples, and really, it is what Doom boils down to in the end. They were never called open world because they were not, and are not open world. Corporate raiders have effectively hijacked language so that Breath of the Wild is open world, and so is Star Wars Outlaws. Bethesda might even try to call Starfield open world, I can't be bothered checking. They also call games that can be updated online 'Live service' and charge money for the updates, even when some of the most critically acclaimed games of all time do it for free with much better and far more content, while costing far less upfront and coded by 5% of the devs, or even one person. DLC haha. NO, you pay for what you already have free from more ethical people, we just make up words to hide the truth backed by a marketing budget. Tragic short term thinking. Not tragic for the former Ubiclones who finally start listening and effectively boycott trash like Concord. Open world lol. Biege virtual simulation of totally danger free danger simulator with zero dangerous excitement (body type 1 version) potential or any real feeling at all because feelings offend the already offended.
Why do they think this is what Star Wars gamers want? There was once a time when the likes of Free Radical Designs Battlefront 3, First Assault, and 1313 were the vision. Gritty darker tone games that seem to have vanished.
Would love a Star Wars game where you can be whatever you want. Endless character customization, you want to be a Jedi, start your training in Coruscant. You want to be a clone trooper? Choose which battalion/legion or if you want to be an arc or commando. Or a ruthless bounty hunter.. just a game that has it all
Vehicle mechanics like Battlefront 2004 where you can just enter any ship on the ground and take off without a cutscene of any kind like how Fallen Order/Survivor handle the Mantis. I want full control damnit
I like this game. having fun playing it:) I do like most ubisoft game.(but i disslike the woke shit,assassin creed.)I also like arma reforger
One thing I absolutely agree with - automatic mission failure because of detection should be outlawed! I hated this "feature" as far back as No One Lives Forever (the sequel - very wisely - took that feature out). I hated even more those Assassin's Creed games where one can be "detected" and thus fail the mission if you are seen by an enemy a half-second before you kill that enemy! (Do they instantly broadcast your location to all their allies in, say, Renaissance Italy?) Developers need to understand that "stealth" means attempting not to be seen, but dealing with the consequences if you are. As in, say, Thief, Splinter Cell, Dishonored ...
Pessimistic…I feel you bro. I’ve been very pessimistic where I talk about it most of the time and even makes me sick. Such a beloved franchise was rammed into the ground by Kathleen Kennedy and some of the people below her. Star Wars does not deserve this fate. And the woke…I’m not even going to get started with it because everyone who works at lucasfilm don’t know or care about Star Wars. And then blame fans who actually want something good. Idk man Star Wars is in the worst position it has ever been.
If you want llease Star Wars fans, please Star Wars fans. It seems hard but not really 😂
You.must all be wrong about this game.
The amount of times I've jumped into fanboys channels and seen that they think it's amazing 😊😊😊
The only good thing Massive are good at is creating beautiful looking environments but that's pretty much it. They can't add nothing to them, they're just beautifully bland and boring.
Imo a great singleplayer game is built around a story that leaves an impression and genuinely moves you. Ubisoft takes a setting and puts something in there that feels just alright, so to say. That’s recipe for disaster and also the turning point for AC if you’d ask me
if i had a dollar for every time a game released and it doesn't provide at least a 85/100 experience id be well off
The way they make games and the people they pick to work on these games is why this game sucks. The combat the stealth all bad because they wanted it to be
Overall I have never had a game give me as much adrenaline and shear joy as this game. I believe generally whether critics are judging games, movies, etc. they tend to be overly critical and nit-picky.
Star Wars Galaxies is the first Open World Star Wars game. Still playable today because of fan supported servers.
2023-24 has been a period of AAA letdowns. Studios so entrenched in old designs, that nothing feels new or creative in the AAA world.
Ubisoft didn't "developed" star wars outlaws they've published star wars outlaws
I'm the same way with Ubisoft so through the last few far cry entries.
The more I play them, The more hours put in I see them for what they are and how they're put together and I start to despise the game.
The more I deviate or try new things the more I get disappointed, and just with time I start to see more patterns and cut corners. At the point where I will no longer buy another Ubisoft game.
They could’ve made her not being able to knockout stormtroopers a thing, later expanding upon it by giving her the ability too with some type of melee stun tool
I almost bought it until I found out the force and jedis arent in the game. Thats like making Hogwarts with no wands.
I love how we're still holding Red Dead 2 as an industry standard 👏 seems like no third-person open world game has been able to match it yet.
Ubisoft didn’t develop this game. It was developed by Massive Entertainment.
20:25 why the hell would you spoil this part of Jedi: Survivor in a completely unrelated video with no warning?
From a game company known for having Tom Clancy and AC. They can't get the stealth gameplay right lol
Outlaws is the video game version of Joe Bauers from Idiocracy, the most mediocre game in all of mediocrity
I'm just enjoying the drama, waiting for a huge sale or even it appearing as a freebie under PSN
Stealth in general is boring AF in a combat focused game. It should be an option and not a demand.
The agenda behind these games..the world may never no
Imagine making the most sci-fi fantasy universe into the most boring game ever.
I will not give money to mediocrity incorporated
I will wait until its 5 bucks in 3 years...and then still won't buy it 😎😎😉
most ubisoft game ever? it doesn't even have watch towers or outposts so I disagree
Sir, there is NOTHING good about the game. Also, you are weeks late in your presentation. And your SPAM is worthless. Bye.
You are everything wrong with modern online criticism
It's Soften Time! Then they Ubed all over the place
The more hrs i out the more i liked it 8.5 yes it crashes and AI not very smart but the atmosphere for a star wars game better than jedi survivor i was tired of sabers hack n slash i loved using blasters despite carrying only one blaster still game was overall entertaining and decent overallbwith its flaws. Maybe patches will fix yhise isdues i myself pretty pleased in dome area, disappointed in some bit game was overall fun to play
Typos lol
i wouldnt say this game looks good
lets compare it to some old ass game like BF1(yes its old and so are you)
its weird to say but BF1 had some truly eye catching rocks to look at
but when you see the maps in ubi games those dont hit you that way bcs they had the same detail intensity，and that makes everything blend to each other
in BF1s case its clear devs want to show u those rocks and those dirt in trenches so those things get some insane quality of details and that leaves a big impression for whatever you feel wrong about the game, you cant argue those rocks arnt pretty
the same thing can say to wukong as well
the peach in the opening is the most beautiful fruit u can see in game to date
and they clearly went hard on that peach and are proud to show you how perfect the peach looks
Great review man
Never belived i would own Avatar an apologie 😂
Gangster/cozy - it's all the rage.
why say it like its a positive that the game runs on a 4090...
You'd expect him to say it as a negative? He didn't say it just runs, he said it runs well while maxed out on 4k resolution - which is a good bit of information.
@@wolfborntv He is obviously looking for positives desperately. Andy Game Runs Maxed out on a 4090 at 4K so hardly a positive that he should Focus so Long on
@@Zuaxxxhe’s clearly providing context for the performance he encountered. It’s good information. Survivor didn’t run well on a 4090 or did you forget that? The only one looking desperately for anything here is you.
@@broda5310 jedi survivor had cpu issues which is completely unrelated to a 4090 which is obviously a graphics card
Been having a lot of fun with this game i enjoy it.
Star Wars Outlaws: Starring Matt Daymon
It's just an all around bad game.
A bizarre pit of nothing 😂
Controversial bad
Where the hell were your spoiler warnings?!? FFS 😤
Literally at the start of the video
It’s garbage
👊🏿🙏🏿
Why is mediocre? I got the game my thoughts is a good game. But I understand need more patches. Eventually And more customization. Plus the storyline is great
Because Ubisoft is capable of making better products but simply choose not to. They were ready to deliver another half baked product with Shadows but saw the reception of Outlaws and realized they can’t get away with mediocre products anymore because their stock is rapidly declining
@@yourbarber6732OUTLAWS is brilliant 👏
These are some incredible reviews. Love the channel. Thoughts on a god of war review?
Going to be doing God of War and Ragnarok hopefully at the end of the year!
Why bother? Everyone knows GoW is good.
By that logic, why bother covering any good game ever then?
Pandora trash is the best looking game ever? Thats a good one. Lmao. 😂
I mean, statistically it’s deemed to be… so yeah.
@@GameOverloadMO nonsense. Thats not even a real stat. Don’t repeat everything that you read or hear.
I mean I played the game for myself. I’ve got no dog in this fight. The game is mid but the visuals are outstanding, you’re not edgy by going against the herd.
I only liked this video because I like gameoverload as RUclipsr not the outlaws
I couldn’t wrap my head around what seemed off to me about it tbh. I played a good portion of the game, currently left off on Akiva after getting the Rhodian out of the imperial base (I forgot name because I just don’t care lol) but I stopped playing up to that point maybe about 2 weeks ago and haven’t revisited it since. The game is beautiful in terms of the open world don’t get me wrong but the stealth and dying instantly if your caught just made me so upset and the game is just repetitive. The only good thing about it was just jumping to hyperspace whenever I wanted (which I’ve wanted to do forever, along with the “seamless” landing on planets) but after awhile even that got old really fast. Don’t know if I’ll finish the game but I’m biting myself and hate that I didn’t listen to other commenters on other channels saying don’t waste your money/time. Once I turned the game off I played Jedi Survivor for like the 7th time and breathed a sigh of utter relief lmao.
My thoughts on Outlaws:
The game is definitely ubisoft in it's purest form which may turn off many. But some like myself don't mind it. I had more issue with the ST references here and there. But given it takes place after episode 5 and before episode 6 for a change is nice. I did not like the disney trilogy. But I guess I don't mind having only the planets from the ST but set before that era is alright. It's a decent compromise. That aside, the game is really fun. The wanted system and open nature of the game makes it very replayable for me. But what really won me over was Nix. That little guy is probably the best thing for me about this whole game.🤩😍
His little animations like hopping on your speeder when u get close and looking at you hoping to go for a ride is fricken adorable. Along with the way he plays dead when u ask him to distract a guard or point your gun at him and the little interactions u can have with him when eating meals. God hes so cute. Lol
The story was alright. I didn't love it or dislike it. It was serviceable. But evreything around the story was so fun that I didn't mind. (Minus the instant fail stealth missions ovcourse..) The backlash the game is getting should be directed to ubisoft higher ups. Not the devs themselves. Clearly alot of love went into this game from what I can see. The game didn't deserve to be completely review bombed. If I'm going to be as honest as possible, I would give it a good 7/10. Anything below a 6 or 5 is not right. The game does far more correctly than it does wrong. And I feel an 7/10 reflects that very well. I only hope we get atleast one more planet in the dlc expansions coming up. And maybe a few QOL improvements and fixes to make it better as it Definitely needs that. Anyway, that's about it. Just felt that I needed to say something and be as fair and realistic as possible while not being blinded by hate. 🙂👍
I respectfully disagree. I loved playing this. 83 hours in so far.
Good thing for you, you are the target group then. Must be great having fun with below average games.
@@DexterAlenkoNah, us gamers are having fun with a dope game instead whining about a game we haven’t played.
@DjTIMEJD
Hence why I say “gamers” these days are full of naive suckers
Your standards are so low, it’s pathetic
Bro, FarCry 6 and GR Breakpoint are the most Ubisoft game ever lol Outlaws isn't as bad as most youtubers try to make it honestly, but damn is that stealth shakey lol
Amazing game .... now ! (40hrs in)
Braindeads be like
I think a spoiler alert for Jedi Survivor would’ve been nice considering this video ideally should be completely unrelated.
Lol that game has been out so long I almost forgot about it.
@@SkodenStoodisEh Yeah I’m new to the franchise so I just started playing the games but dude ruined the twist for me so that’s cool 💀
That's nkt his problem@@theyoungestvi1069
Having an open-world Star Wars game means nothing if you can't really customize your character in any way, shape or form. Let me chose race, if I want to be a Jedi or a Sith or anything in between, a bounty hunter, a mandalorian, there is so many options ffs
Star Wars wokelaws
Game is fine. If you trash this and hype up the jedi survivor games you're an immense hypocrite.
Pretty bold claim. How so?
If you buy this or AC shadows, or GOY, you're supporting Spew baby inc
