Because it’s not the same Ubisoft. The Ubisoft during that time were passionate and talented devs. This Ubisoft probably has nobody that used to work on those games.
Ubisoft is so pathetic that they can't even do stealth right anymore. A genre that launched their success into hyperspeed. That they helped redefine. This should be their comfort zone, and they faceplanted. That's just... embarrassing.
It’s sad. They bastardized almost every single franchise, if not every single one, that had the potential to continuously expand and build upon their arsenal with innovative mechanics and story telling, everything. Even connect several “universes” if done well. They just added nonsense and random ingredients to an ideal dessert recipe- and in fact progressively get cheaper ingredients per dessert-and then have the audacity to want just as much if not more for the next set of desserts, depending on the additional toppings (editions). Sprinkles cost extra after you’re already eating (micro-transactions). Now I’m hungry
Splinter Cell. Ghost Recon. Rainbow Six. And later the first two Assassin's Creed. All used to be difficult, innovative, genre defining stealth franchises, and all of them have either been scrapped or turned to absolute slop.

Exactly. And as sad as it is. People fucking defend this game and ubisoft... So we will be getting shit games for a LONG time. I don't even play new games anymore, I only play old ones and some indie
Ubisoft makes beautiful worlds, but cannot put a game together. Maybe they should just become AI art desktop wallpaper bros instead. Trending on Artstation, trending on deviantart
I’ve been saying this for so long they’ve lost there way the new avatar game is gorgeous but maaaaaan is the story so boring the Navi don’t even speak there language takes out of immersion big time
@@walmartian422 honestly if they can't even perfect the same 3 or 4 gameplay styles that they've been molding every game into, they may as well just stick to assets.
even the earliest stealth games knew better than to make you automatically fail when you got caught. the original metal gear, for example, came out in the late 80's and had better mechanics than that.
I have no problem with failure when getting caught. just as long as the mission makes it clear that it has to be Total Stealth. otherwise it's a nuisance to arbitrarily include
I can't believe this is from the studio that brought us Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory! That was THE stealth game! Plus, whenever I hear Kay talk, she doesn't even sound like a Star Wars character. It's like they got someone who had no idea what SW even was and told them, "OK, you're in Star Wars!", and that was it.
It's incredible that after "Jade Empire", "KOTOR"s and "Mass Effect"s they are STILL completely clueless about successful ways to make a compelling rogue team story.
well, unfortunately i dont think its the fact that nobody there has creativity; its that the higher ups dont let anyone have any creativity. Which is the saddest fate for sure.
One thing that stuck with me me in this review is those instances of "I can't expect". -"I can't expect it to be like GTA but with Star Wars" -"I can't expect the faction system to be as in depth as in New Vegas" and then some... The thing is... Yes, it's a $100+ game, you SHOULD be expecting this level of gameplay. That game alone costs almost as much as what I paid for my PS3 back in the days ! It should come with a mechanic that makes coffee in real life for you at that price tag ! The fact that we're treating it like it's merely another mediocre AAA title, without being more outraged at how it's practically triple the price is baffling to me ! This thing is barely even worth the traditional $60 !
From my point of view it's rather funny how long it took for you to see that. Better late than never i guess, have fun experiencing good & excellent games that you've missed while playing slop. :D
@@SHIRAORI_NOUSAGI honestly for me it's when they started trend setting after Far Cry 3 where all their games followed the same setting and mechanics just with some new paint on top
No shortage of women… everywhere! Great video! Correction, Star Wars has been failing since 2012, when it was sold to a company that didn’t understand what made the IP so successful.
KOTOR 1 and 2, can be found dirt cheap, 80+ hours of gameplay, great story, amazing characters, passionate storytelling. Outlaws $70 buggy mess, unlikable and forgettable characters, 40 hours of misery. KOTOR 1 and 2 can be buggy as well but easily fixable by mods and even with base bugs, they are much more worth it. Also when you say that this game is mediocre, you are giving it too much credit, it's one of the worst games ever made, at least I had fun with Gollum.
The fact that there's a chance that Ubislop could go bankrupt and sell off their IPs to other companies that actually honor the franchise and that's a best case scenario is wild. Old Ubisoft would never be in this situation but i suppose crazy times and identity politics get to companies.
It half feels like they did it, in part, to lock him away so that he can't return to the screen again as we once knew him. First he had to be emasculated, soyboy-fied and shat on onscreen (sequels and the "Solo" movie), then he has to be outright replaced by a super shitty R63 OC version. As for why they did it? They aren't a for-profit company anymore, the megafunds are the profit center now and the entertainment companies their own are their PR/strategic communications arm.
Best review I have seen. Your conclusion is absolutely spot on. Ubisoft created games completely based around stealth mechanics. Getting it so wrong in a new title, is unacceptable. How did these decisions get greenlit from the bottom up? It only speaks of both complacency and incompetence throughout the entire company. The company is beyond saving and needs to be put to rest.
Ubisoft is a prime example of what happens, when entertainment becomes overly politicized and corporatized. Any talent, passion, creative freedom goes out the window and everything becomes paint by numbers and any quality control becomes completely devoid of logic in favor of minimum effort required for release to not get sued.
They were like this back in the good old PS2 days, remember Warrior Within? Emo trend at it's peak, here it comes heavy metal Prince, blood, unhappiness, piss filter, etc.. I love Warrior Within because I liked heavy metal, but the criticism at the time was perfectly valid, to keep pumping sequels Ubisoft throws away any ounce of creativity and personality in favor of checking boxes, following current trends and whatnot. The fact Warrior Within turn out to be a really good game, that was pretty much a miracle. The PoP trilogy, FOUR Splinter Cell games in a single generation, they were all great somehow. But like I said, the mentality of releasing sequel after sequel, checking boxes, always a thing with Ubisoft. Assassins Creed was the beginning of their downfall, here it comes Far Cry 3 and the rest is history, Ubisoft became a factory of mediocrity
@@lenol0315The problem isn't capitalism in and of itself. The problem is the circle of: companies not realising, that if they made a better product and took some pride in their work, they would sell more and consumers, who keep settling for less over time.
@@LarsVegas087 the problem is Woke cult/ corpo-globalist cabal who overtook all media and don't even care about profit anymore, they only care about political agenda. So they hire incompetent DEI people to make DEI propaganda, movies, television, games, they all have ridiculously inflated budgets yet results are mediocre.
Nar Shaddaa is for fans of the old SW, this game is for ppl for whom SW is ep789 so this is why its Kijimi or whatever. Tatooine was in newer shows so it is allowed. Nar Shaddaa was not even in any movies. Their theoretical TA most likely dont even heard about it. 26:07 I remember pretty much this system in Might and Magic 6(1998) and ofc 7 and 8, probably in 1-5 as well, but I started with 6 :) It was used for class advancements and last advancement required something more than just find trainer somewhere in the world, they were also not simply fetch quests, some were actually pretty hard.
@@DiosBabilonia. I hope so because I am sick of the garbage being put out. I question why I even bothered getting a Ps5 and Series X. It isn't just woke games that are hurting the industry as it is modern gaming in general. Even if you remove the woke parts from Sushi Squad, Concord, etc, you're still left with boring and safe by the numbers games that wastes your time and money. I miss when games left you feeling something at the credits like "Spec Ops:The Line", "The Walking Dead", "Halo:Reach", "Gears of War 3", etc. Nowadays it is like "Well that was pointless". Unless Microsoft and Sony do a massive U-Turn with their ships, I'm going exclusively with Nintendo next gen and skipping Ps6 and Next-Box.
To be honest. i m proud of you that you waste your time into this game....i just didn t try to torrent it....Yeah I said it but ubisoft didn t deserve a torrent, my opinion....Hot take
Even if it was cracked I still wouldn't torrent it, this game looks like shit and there is no freedom, that's the problem I have with woke gaming and Ubisoft they take away your freedom to make the game more "modern audience" friendly
Each game company that grow this big it ends the same way. At some point the target audience is not gamers. Is investors. As long at the numbers for investors are not bad, there is nothing to fix.
This video is awesome! Dude I don't know you but you bring gaming journalists to shame - solid arguments and montage is dope. Kudos for calling out bullshit from a big corporation. Ubisoft is creatively bankrupt for a long time now. Now they will most likely be really bankrupt. Subscribed, keep up the good work!
Idc if they suddenly make a fantastic AAAA game, I will always have a hatred for them after they turned my childhood game, hungry shark world, into a battle pass, microtransaction ridden mess, with unoriginal updates and flat out ignoring what the fanbase wants... great video!
BotW already solved the open world map markers problem years ago by making landmarks and important locations easy to see from afar but removing markers to encourage exploration.

Akiva is an important planet in the canon novel Aftermath, it was the place where the Shadow council together with Rae Sloane tried to discuss the future of the Empire after the defeat at Endor and with the rapid rise of the New Republic. Ackbar would lead a task force to intersect the imperials reunion after another important character, Gallius Rax, informed the Republic about it (he’s involved with a whole conspiracy that planned on ending the Empire and preparing the way for the new empire that would become the First Order). By the end of the conflict Akiva became the first outer rim planet to join the New Republic.
You guys don't get it do you...this game was not made for "haters", it was made to be played in the background of a movie before the protagonist comes in and starts explaining his plan to steal from jabba the hutt
I forgot this game existed and saw it in the store the other day. I debating buying it and all it took was one google search to see this game is hot garbage
I can’t kill random people in a monastery raid in Valhalla without it desynchronising I’m a Viking That’s what the Vikings did, but no Ubisoft doesn’t want us to do that
@chrishilton3626 Valhalla is so souless and boring i honestly tried giving it a honest chance but it's so garbage I was like man fck this ubisoft checklist game
Just to add: the feature that makes guns so much worse is that the weapons have LIMITED AMMO. This is a Star Wars game. All games have them overheat which, funny enough is what happens with Kay’s blaster which includes all 3 modes
I am immersed in Star Wars, I am playing Star Wars The Old Republic lol. Now how long before E.A. screws that up. The lawsuits over in game currency in online games may end up affecting it though.
Unnecessarily harsh to say no one at Ubisoft has any creativity man. Some of the people working there have portfolios which express more imagination in a single page than we will in decades. Just because they are led by some terrible direction it doesn't mean they lack creativity. Some really interesting points about the game though, i havent played it but from the looks of it what you said about it having no idea what it wants to be seems spot on. This really is just another pretty looking Star Wars snowglobe to shake a bit and look at (but not shake violently as the game won't let you, as you pointed out).
@@eddieford9373 O_O Jokes aside, I think thats depend more of the Impact, the newest Pokemon games are mediocre at best yet the R34 is still going strong.
Eh IDK, what about cars games, mecha games, where you doesn't even see your character etc. ? That system is kinda flawed Well I guess Armored Core VI still did it for the waifu even if theorically we never saw her in the game lol
When I was 5, I got to see my cousin playing Prototype. The adrenaline I got from the fast packed action was mind-blowing. Now I am 22, bought the game, played it, and the game is still mind-blowing. I kinda wish they had controller compatible (skill issues moment).
It wasn't diversity that killed Ubisoft, it was greed. The management of Ubisoft replaced the veteran developer teams, the ones behind their best games( Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed, etc), with people they could pay less. Ubisoft stopped focusing on the quality of their games and started focusing on the quality of their stock price and executive bonuses. Ubisoft became complacent. They thought they were unsinkable. _That_ is what killed Ubisoft.
this isn't on disney... a lot of things are but this one isn't. this is ubisoft... they are going for a record year, but they held the direction arrow of where they wanted it to go upside down.
Time to break out alien isolation again to see what a competent enemy AI actually looks like. A game that’s 10 years old has an AI exponentially better than this horseshit
Finally some RUclipsr who isn't afraid to loose access to get a free review copy from Ubisoft in the future, by beating around the bush praising some parts and pointing out the obvious bad things like the ai. Thank you for this informative review and you get an instant sub from me!
What? How is that possible? But they were the masterful minds of the first AAAA game called *read note Sea of Thieves! How they could even do anything remotely wrong, you are envious that Thief of the Seas™️ is a sucess.
the fact that they think a 90 pound girl is able to punch a man, let alone an alien... and knock them out in a single hit.. lets you know all you need too about their views on reality.
Now I know what you are saying, but talking about reality in video games is so nuanced that it really isn't a great point as you might think. Most games where stealth is involved is so far from reality that npcs don't even have peripheral view, so even if I agree it is unrealistic, it's also something that can be ignored. But let's be real, that's not really where you were going with that comment.
@@TheKillerJok. He's talking about people that hamfist their political views in a detrimental way in the games that drags everything down. It is another woke product
@@Deadsea_1993 That’s a better argument than the original poster had. I don’t get what anyone’s views on reality has to do with Star Wars, since it’s all fantasy. Jedi mind tricks are just as realistic as a 90 pound woman punching aliens in the face. Also, Tomb Raider exists and people don’t complain that was woke because a young woman did unrealistic things. So in that regard the example given isn’t great, since not all games need to be realistic. I do get tired of the messaging in games and movies lately (especially from Disney, but that has been going on for decades). Especially since the messaging is pretty US centric mostly.
@@Wizz15 you tried champ, but you understood the point and got your tampon in a twist. “Realism” is key even in fantasy when it comes to watching / playing something and it not even being remotely possible in life… but yeah let’s compared mind tricks to physical contact. Also to your other idiotic point about Lara Croft… you mean the girl who used guns to kill everyone and doesn’t try to “girl boss” her way around the game? You’re right, no one complain because she didn’t do it lol.
@@jsullivan649 Nah, you fail to grasp the difference between authentic and realistic. It’s the same in video games: everybody asks for more realism, but nobody actually wants reality in their games. They just want them to feel authentic (believable), but not realistic. So again: when Tomb Raider came out, nobody said it was woke because a woman did unrealistic things. That’s not the reason things are called woke. There wasn’t any hamfisted activist messaging in that game, unlike a lot of games of today. Maybe it’s you who should look up some definitions of words, “lol”. Anyway its clear you have issues with women and are using this as an opportunity to let it out.
I work with marketing and I use a lot of A.I to write some skeletons for emails and etc, I can assure you this game was written by A.I, I can recognize the lack of logic and consistency in it. The worst part is that it's okay to use A.I to write the skeleton so you can refine it, but it seems like it was not the case.
I bet Ubisoft thought outlaws would sell just because of the star wars name.. nope! The goodwill that star wars used to have has been burned away in a sea of woke filth.. gotten easy to see woke games. Everything in it will look like it's been rubbed with ass then boiled in piss. The only ones I feel bad for is the lowly worker who just wants to make a good game but can't because of the people who are in charge demand woke crap that's clearly not selling and no one wants.
Screen Rant gave Outlaws, Concord and Dustborn better score than they gave Black Myth Wukong. Let that sink in.

Like do I take it all with a grain of salt yeah sure but to have no idea what you're talking about and just pop your mouth off is wild
Exactly. And as sad as it is. People fucking defend this game and ubisoft... So we will be getting shit games for a LONG time. I don't even play new games anymore, I only play old ones and some indie
Ubisoft makes beautiful worlds, but cannot put a game together. Maybe they should just become AI art desktop wallpaper bros instead. Trending on Artstation, trending on deviantart
I’ve been saying this for so long they’ve lost there way the new avatar game is gorgeous but maaaaaan is the story so boring the Navi don’t even speak there language takes out of immersion big time
They should just create assets for more talented people or indie game devs lol
@@walmartian422 honestly if they can't even perfect the same 3 or 4 gameplay styles that they've been molding every game into, they may as well just stick to assets.
They would probably make more money selling NFTs then making this shit lol
its over for ubisoft... they are just months away from total collapse and bankruptcy
one can hope.
would be the best christmas gift
Queue the Return of the Jedi celebration song.
then what's gonna happen to Rayman!?
Why does the blaster look like... that. A 1911 with half a mag lite.strapped to it
even the earliest stealth games knew better than to make you automatically fail when you got caught. the original metal gear, for example, came out in the late 80's and had better mechanics than that.
Sure did
I have no problem with failure when getting caught. just as long as the mission makes it clear that it has to be Total Stealth. otherwise it's a nuisance to arbitrarily include
Commando droid is the best and most expressive character among human cast
I can't believe this is from the studio that brought us Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory! That was THE stealth game! Plus, whenever I hear Kay talk, she doesn't even sound like a Star Wars character. It's like they got someone who had no idea what SW even was and told them, "OK, you're in Star Wars!", and that was it.
I'm going to guess 99% of the people involved in that game are no longer there. You should probably sit down. That was nearly 20 years ago :)
@@Krunnky and hope to god they don't make new one or remastered/remake.
It's incredible that after "Jade Empire", "KOTOR"s and "Mass Effect"s they are STILL completely clueless about successful ways to make a compelling rogue team story.
well, unfortunately i dont think its the fact that nobody there has creativity; its that the higher ups dont let anyone have any creativity. Which is the saddest fate for sure.
One thing that stuck with me me in this review is those instances of "I can't expect".
-"I can't expect it to be like GTA but with Star Wars"
-"I can't expect the faction system to be as in depth as in New Vegas"
and then some...
The thing is... Yes, it's a $100+ game, you SHOULD be expecting this level of gameplay.
That game alone costs almost as much as what I paid for my PS3 back in the days !
It should come with a mechanic that makes coffee in real life for you at that price tag !
The fact that we're treating it like it's merely another mediocre AAA title, without being more outraged at how it's practically triple the price is baffling to me !
This thing is barely even worth the traditional $60 !
It's dumb people looking for dumbed-down gameplay with a low IQ story to match their own.
You're right. Price tags set expectations and games in the triple digit price range better be worth the money.
I wouldn’t be surprised if lizzo’s character made a cameo in this game
She did... she can be seen in Jabba's palace. 🤣
@@1XDroidX1 she is Jabba XD
It’s more upsetting it took us way to long to finally stand up against Ubisoft and there soulless generic open world games
It’s because of all the idiot Ubisoft simps who defend their favorite giant corporation like it’s a beloved family member.
From my point of view it's rather funny how long it took for you to see that.
Better late than never i guess, have fun experiencing good & excellent games that you've missed while playing slop. :D
Took YOU this long
The writing was on the wall since Division 2
I personally had noticed that at the release of Farcry 5, and decided not to buy any of their future games since then.
@@SHIRAORI_NOUSAGI honestly for me it's when they started trend setting after Far Cry 3 where all their games followed the same setting and mechanics just with some new paint on top
No shortage of women… everywhere!
Great video!
Correction, Star Wars has been failing since 2012, when it was sold to a company that didn’t understand what made the IP so successful.
KOTOR 1 and 2, can be found dirt cheap, 80+ hours of gameplay, great story, amazing characters, passionate storytelling.
Outlaws $70 buggy mess, unlikable and forgettable characters, 40 hours of misery.
KOTOR 1 and 2 can be buggy as well but easily fixable by mods and even with base bugs, they are much more worth it.
Also when you say that this game is mediocre, you are giving it too much credit, it's one of the worst games ever made, at least I had fun with Gollum.
The fact that there's a chance that Ubislop could go bankrupt and sell off their IPs to other companies that actually honor the franchise and that's a best case scenario is wild. Old Ubisoft would never be in this situation but i suppose crazy times and identity politics get to companies.
Disney paid $4B for Han Solo. Then we get a game featuring Ma'am Solo. Dumb! Just dumb!
It half feels like they did it, in part, to lock him away so that he can't return to the screen again as we once knew him. First he had to be emasculated, soyboy-fied and shat on onscreen (sequels and the "Solo" movie), then he has to be outright replaced by a super shitty R63 OC version.
As for why they did it? They aren't a for-profit company anymore, the megafunds are the profit center now and the entertainment companies their own are their PR/strategic communications arm.
They gave up 1313 for this trash. Ubisoft is the frickin worst.
Star wars is dead to me. I’m never gonna consume anything non legacy stat wars
Best review I have seen. Your conclusion is absolutely spot on. Ubisoft created games completely based around stealth mechanics. Getting it so wrong in a new title, is unacceptable. How did these decisions get greenlit from the bottom up? It only speaks of both complacency and incompetence throughout the entire company. The company is beyond saving and needs to be put to rest.
Oh yeah i almost forgot that there was something called "Star Wars fans" thanks for reminding me about the good old times, amazing video 9,6/10
Ubisoft is a prime example of what happens, when entertainment becomes overly politicized and corporatized. Any talent, passion, creative freedom goes out the window and everything becomes paint by numbers and any quality control becomes completely devoid of logic in favor of minimum effort required for release to not get sued.
oy vey capitalism
They were like this back in the good old PS2 days, remember Warrior Within? Emo trend at it's peak, here it comes heavy metal Prince, blood, unhappiness, piss filter, etc.. I love Warrior Within because I liked heavy metal, but the criticism at the time was perfectly valid, to keep pumping sequels Ubisoft throws away any ounce of creativity and personality in favor of checking boxes, following current trends and whatnot. The fact Warrior Within turn out to be a really good game, that was pretty much a miracle. The PoP trilogy, FOUR Splinter Cell games in a single generation, they were all great somehow. But like I said, the mentality of releasing sequel after sequel, checking boxes, always a thing with Ubisoft. Assassins Creed was the beginning of their downfall, here it comes Far Cry 3 and the rest is history, Ubisoft became a factory of mediocrity
@@lenol0315The problem isn't capitalism in and of itself. The problem is the circle of:
companies not realising, that if they made a better product and took some pride in their work, they would sell more and consumers, who keep settling for less over time.
@@LarsVegas087 the problem is Woke cult/ corpo-globalist cabal who overtook all media and don't even care about profit anymore, they only care about political agenda. So they hire incompetent DEI people to make DEI propaganda, movies, television, games, they all have ridiculously inflated budgets yet results are mediocre.
To quote Jay Bauman: Don't ask questions, just consume product and wait for next product
Nar Shaddaa is for fans of the old SW, this game is for ppl for whom SW is ep789 so this is why its Kijimi or whatever. Tatooine was in newer shows so it is allowed. Nar Shaddaa was not even in any movies. Their theoretical TA most likely dont even heard about it.
26:07 I remember pretty much this system in Might and Magic 6(1998) and ofc 7 and 8, probably in 1-5 as well, but I started with 6 :) It was used for class advancements and last advancement required something more than just find trainer somewhere in the world, they were also not simply fetch quests, some were actually pretty hard.
Bioware coming close to "most pathetic game company" with the last reveal about character creation!!! WTF is going on?
Woke games are on their way out, but a beast becomes most violent right before its death.
What are they working on atm? Bit out of the loop here
@@DiosBabilonia. I hope so because I am sick of the garbage being put out. I question why I even bothered getting a Ps5 and Series X. It isn't just woke games that are hurting the industry as it is modern gaming in general. Even if you remove the woke parts from Sushi Squad, Concord, etc, you're still left with boring and safe by the numbers games that wastes your time and money. I miss when games left you feeling something at the credits like "Spec Ops:The Line", "The Walking Dead", "Halo:Reach", "Gears of War 3", etc. Nowadays it is like "Well that was pointless". Unless Microsoft and Sony do a massive U-Turn with their ships, I'm going exclusively with Nintendo next gen and skipping Ps6 and Next-Box.
i knew this was going to happen after i heard it went through 3 re-designs and renamed it from Dreadwolf to Veilguard
I really want a massive New Vegas inspired Star Wars game also we lost 1313 for this
To be honest. i m proud of you that you waste your time into this game....i just didn t try to torrent it....Yeah I said it but ubisoft didn t deserve a torrent, my opinion....Hot take
It has denuvo so it doesn't matter if you torrent it or not.
@@Codex_0613 only a matter of time
Even if it was cracked I still wouldn't torrent it, this game looks like shit and there is no freedom, that's the problem I have with woke gaming and Ubisoft they take away your freedom to make the game more "modern audience" friendly
@@Singerisacrookget your mind out of the gutter
time is money, if the games not worth the money, its not worth ur time either.
Before Star War :outlaw was release, we were told that it was a red dead redemption in space ? Does this look like one? lol
Looks dead enough to me, no redemption.

Well edited and thorough review fam! GG
The fact you’re playing the soundtrack from KOTOR makes watching this video more palpable. It makes me think of better days
Each game company that grow this big it ends the same way.
At some point the target audience is not gamers. Is investors.
As long at the numbers for investors are not bad, there is nothing to fix.
They stop making games to earn money, and start taking money to make games.
The worst part is that there are ubibotfans that defending this garbage
chronically online ppl will die on any hill that suits their narrative
That's craaazy bunch of literal losers
This video is awesome!
Dude I don't know you but you bring gaming journalists to shame - solid arguments and montage is dope.
Kudos for calling out bullshit from a big corporation.
Ubisoft is creatively bankrupt for a long time now.
Now they will most likely be really bankrupt.
Subscribed, keep up the good work!
I am so glad they're going down and I hope Disney will follow!
Idc if they suddenly make a fantastic AAAA game, I will always have a hatred for them after they turned my childhood game, hungry shark world, into a battle pass, microtransaction ridden mess, with unoriginal updates and flat out ignoring what the fanbase wants... great video!
It wasn't that long ago that Bethesda and Ubisoft were my favorite game companies. Rockstar and Quantic Dreams are the last two I have any trust in.
BotW already solved the open world map markers problem years ago by making landmarks and important locations easy to see from afar but removing markers to encourage exploration.
This is a well known fact
..so we wait for a deep deep sale,right?great content bro keep up the good work greetings from Athens ,Greece
70% discount minimum. I need to buy space marine 2, Nier Automata and the Bounty hunter remake. Oh and dead or alive. So yea. Can't really afford 70$ shovelware.
And palworld wanna buy that before Nintendo obliterates them.
@@CyberLou Nintedo deserves to lose that suit. Trying to patent ball catching after palworld was developed.
The thing that really has me scratching my head is it's from the same developer that made the Division and Divisin 2?????? What, I can't believe it!!
Wow for a company that makes so many open world games Ubisoft sure sucks at making open world games.
Did that bounty hunter just try punch a droid? that's worse than the stormtroopers
0:16 Indeed 😂.
hell what's even worse is that they had the deadeye like execution mechanic in splinter cell conviction and blacklist and it works in there
Dude you are so funny and your vids are so high quality that when I subbed I was expecting to see at least 1 mill, keep this up bro your gonna succeed for sure
Akiva is an important planet in the canon novel Aftermath, it was the place where the Shadow council together with Rae Sloane tried to discuss the future of the Empire after the defeat at Endor and with the rapid rise of the New Republic. Ackbar would lead a task force to intersect the imperials reunion after another important character, Gallius Rax, informed the Republic about it (he’s involved with a whole conspiracy that planned on ending the Empire and preparing the way for the new empire that would become the First Order). By the end of the conflict Akiva became the first outer rim planet to join the New Republic.
You guys don't get it do you...this game was not made for "haters", it was made to be played in the background of a movie before the protagonist comes in and starts explaining his plan to steal from jabba the hutt
great video, I absolutely freaked when I played this game and there was no Cantina theme music in Tattooine and no Nar Shaddar, wtf.
Jedi Academy was awesome. And so was Mysteries of the Sith. And Dark Forces.
This is bland forgettable garbage.
the mod you could get for academy was awesome too where you could play through some of the movie battles aswell
"You want a job done right, you do it yourself. So clearly, anyone who hires me to do that job should expect it to go sideways."

Good on you for not just buying blind. Always do at least a LITTLE research first.
1:02 The YYYY bit took me out bro! 🤣
Thank you for confirming why I never wasted time and money on this lol. You’re the shit Zeet!! ❤

I can’t kill random people in a monastery raid in Valhalla without it desynchronising I’m a Viking That’s what the Vikings did, but no Ubisoft doesn’t want us to do that

@@chrishilton3626 I forgot. Can we enslave them tho?
@@conq1273 nope
Just to add: the feature that makes guns so much worse is that the weapons have LIMITED AMMO. This is a Star Wars game. All games have them overheat which, funny enough is what happens with Kay’s blaster which includes all 3 modes
I am immersed in Star Wars, I am playing Star Wars The Old Republic lol. Now how long before E.A. screws that up. The lawsuits over in game currency in online games may end up affecting it though.
Unnecessarily harsh to say no one at Ubisoft has any creativity man. Some of the people working there have portfolios which express more imagination in a single page than we will in decades. Just because they are led by some terrible direction it doesn't mean they lack creativity. Some really interesting points about the game though, i havent played it but from the looks of it what you said about it having no idea what it wants to be seems spot on. This really is just another pretty looking Star Wars snowglobe to shake a bit and look at (but not shake violently as the game won't let you, as you pointed out).
"Hey honey, pick up that bar of soap please" "Pick up for 100 XP"
this was so good, i knew this game was crap as soon as i saw the main character.
I played 8 hours and just couldnt keep going, its so bad

the game has no soul
Just gotta say this. Great video in regards to commentary and editing. But it’s made even better by the Persona music playing at times.
My method of telling if a game is bad is how much rule 34 there is of it. There's none of this game so far.

Eh IDK, what about cars games, mecha games, where you doesn't even see your character etc. ? That system is kinda flawed
Well I guess Armored Core VI still did it for the waifu even if theorically we never saw her in the game lol
When I was 5, I got to see my cousin playing Prototype. The adrenaline I got from the fast packed action was mind-blowing. Now I am 22, bought the game, played it, and the game is still mind-blowing. I kinda wish they had controller compatible (skill issues moment).
How people can defend this game is insanse.
"You are made of stupid" never gets old..😂
the people that knew how to make a game where replaced with a more diverse group and this is the result of that
It wasn't diversity that killed Ubisoft, it was greed.
The management of Ubisoft replaced the veteran developer teams, the ones behind their best games( Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed, etc), with people they could pay less.
Ubisoft stopped focusing on the quality of their games and started focusing on the quality of their stock price and executive bonuses. Ubisoft became complacent. They thought they were unsinkable.
_That_ is what killed Ubisoft.
God. The internet is rife with 15 year Olds obsessed with the Culture War you've been told your fighting.
iS iT wOkE, bRo?! God, do you fucking incels ever stfu about this shit?
this isn't on disney... a lot of things are but this one isn't. this is ubisoft... they are going for a record year, but they held the direction arrow of where they wanted it to go upside down.
Time to break out alien isolation again to see what a competent enemy AI actually looks like. A game that’s 10 years old has an AI exponentially better than this horseshit
Many games from 10 years ago perform and look better than “modern” games
Everyone knows how the FEAR AI was made yet they won't adapt that. 20 years and they still pump out this shit here
Dude, classic Doom from 1993 has better enemy AI than most modern AAA games. It's ridiculous.
@@DeadPixel1105 This is what happens when you have diversity hires
RUclips deleting my comments again
Guess they don’t like the truth thst diversity hires are a reason why gaming sucks these days
The AI reminds of Star Wars Gmod RP people who barely know the Controlls of Vehicles or anything trying to kill you.
Here’s a thought rockstar should make a Viking game
and at the rate they make games it would be out by 2038 XD
Finally some RUclipsr who isn't afraid to loose access to get a free review copy from Ubisoft in the future, by beating around the bush praising some parts and pointing out the obvious bad things like the ai. Thank you for this informative review and you get an instant sub from me!
Pathetic really is the perfect word for them. This’ll be a fun video.
How about 2... Out of 10.... I don't see why... You gave 5....
Know one should not buy anything from any triple A game they are all bad.
Thank god ive found your channel
Now imma put it in my *ignore list*
Ubislop owes me a refund, and I didn't even buy the fucking game!
Ok that shit with the Pikes crashing into the cliff face was freaking HILARIOUS.
You're gonna be big one day. This channel is goated asf
Spetacular review! Loved your style and subbed
What? How is that possible? But they were the masterful minds of the first AAAA game called *read note Sea of Thieves!
How they could even do anything remotely wrong, you are envious that Thief of the Seas™️ is a sucess.
the fact that they think a 90 pound girl is able to punch a man, let alone an alien... and knock them out in a single hit.. lets you know all you need too about their views on reality.
Now I know what you are saying, but talking about reality in video games is so nuanced that it really isn't a great point as you might think. Most games where stealth is involved is so far from reality that npcs don't even have peripheral view, so even if I agree it is unrealistic, it's also something that can be ignored.
But let's be real, that's not really where you were going with that comment.
@@TheKillerJok. He's talking about people that hamfist their political views in a detrimental way in the games that drags everything down. It is another woke product
@@Deadsea_1993 That’s a better argument than the original poster had.
I don’t get what anyone’s views on reality has to do with Star Wars, since it’s all fantasy. Jedi mind tricks are just as realistic as a 90 pound woman punching aliens in the face.
Also, Tomb Raider exists and people don’t complain that was woke because a young woman did unrealistic things. So in that regard the example given isn’t great, since not all games need to be realistic.
I do get tired of the messaging in games and movies lately (especially from Disney, but that has been going on for decades). Especially since the messaging is pretty US centric mostly.
@@Wizz15 you tried champ, but you understood the point and got your tampon in a twist.
“Realism” is key even in fantasy when it comes to watching / playing something and it not even being remotely possible in life… but yeah let’s compared mind tricks to physical contact.
Also to your other idiotic point about Lara Croft… you mean the girl who used guns to kill everyone and doesn’t try to “girl boss” her way around the game? You’re right, no one complain because she didn’t do it lol.
@@jsullivan649 Nah, you fail to grasp the difference between authentic and realistic.
It’s the same in video games: everybody asks for more realism, but nobody actually wants reality in their games. They just want them to feel authentic (believable), but not realistic.
So again: when Tomb Raider came out, nobody said it was woke because a woman did unrealistic things. That’s not the reason things are called woke. There wasn’t any hamfisted activist messaging in that game, unlike a lot of games of today.
Maybe it’s you who should look up some definitions of words, “lol”. Anyway its clear you have issues with women and are using this as an opportunity to let it out.
I work with marketing and I use a lot of A.I to write some skeletons for emails and etc, I can assure you this game was written by A.I, I can recognize the lack of logic and consistency in it. The worst part is that it's okay to use A.I to write the skeleton so you can refine it, but it seems like it was not the case.
Ubisoft games are not bad but they are mid (which is worse)
Love the review. MORE!!
Finishing animations in Outlaws: Gently put someone down.
Aloy from the Forbidden West: That's cute.
The mega man zero musics are TOTALLY apreciated, good taste
I bet Ubisoft thought outlaws would sell just because of the star wars name.. nope! The goodwill that star wars used to have has been burned away in a sea of woke filth.. gotten easy to see woke games. Everything in it will look like it's been rubbed with ass then boiled in piss. The only ones I feel bad for is the lowly worker who just wants to make a good game but can't because of the people who are in charge demand woke crap that's clearly not selling and no one wants.
👍👍👍👍 you said it all, telling it like it really IS .
