      Not specifically SW: Outlaws, but they were given something that previously only EA made meh games with, and they decided to also make a meh game. Ubisoft really likes their meh games. See also: Assassin’s Creed #25, coming out this year!

        And even EA made some decent games with the IP. I loved Jedi Fallen Order. Haven’t played Jedi survivor yet but from what I’ve gathered, it’s definitely not a total flop and even Battlefront 2-2 was decent enough.

          Jedi Survivor is awesome. If you liked the first you’ll love that one.

          Even outlaws isn’t bad, it gives me Jedi Survivor feels but more stealth and crime.

            I’ll definitely play Jedi Survivor (as soon as I get around to upgrading my graphics card to something that can actually play the game).

            I might try outlaws once it’s on clearance or so. But as someone who hated most of what Ubisoft did in the last few years (they ruined my beloved Assassin‘s Creed and made a mockery out of Watch_Dogs), I will stay sceptical.

          I loved Fallen Order and I loved Survivor even more. It’s the perfect follow up to Fallen Order. At launch it had quite some issues tho, which is why it wasn’t received well. Not sure how much better it is now since I never really had issues to begin with.

    I think that’s kind of a shame.

    I don’t care for Ubisofts bland and lazy open world design formula, but SW:O appears to not do a lot of the usual open world BS that they’re known for.

    I only get this from Skillup’s review and he had a host of problems with gameplay, but I also got the sense that this is a game that will be remembered fondly by a subset of the star wars fandom.

    Hopefully the lesson that Ubi learns isn’t “see, we should stick with what works. Another generic open world Assassins Creed RPG-Lite”.

      I hurts me how bad SW:O did for that very reason. There’s no XP, there’s no tower in each zone to unlock or whatever. It’s a really good game IMO with a few issues.

        It’s just a shame that some of the biggest of those issues appear to be fundamental game mechanics.

    You can block tainted production companies on steam, this removes all their slop from the store page and vastly improves the marketplace.

    Ubisoft was the first shit-hole prod company I ever blocked and it was glorious.

      They’re using a trusted formula that has worked since Far Cry 3 from 12 years ago. It’s fun but it’s not going to turn a lot of heads. Many just wish they would try something different.

      The Venn Diagram of “people still spending that much money on a game” and “people that are easy to please” seems to be a circle. Maybe something to do with a sunk-cost-fallacy coupled with the “social proof” stuff?

      But I don’t know the game. Maybe it’s okay.

      There seems to be a TikTok campaign where certain people desperately want players to hate this game. I keep seeing this same skinny wispy-bearded dude over & over shitting on the game.

      I keep seeing the videos, and what I watch just makes me say “It honestly doesn’t look bad to me.”

      Yeah I don’t really get all the hate. Is it the greatest game ever? No not even a little. Is it good though? Yeah I think so. The combat isn’t all that deep but I’m mostly enjoying it for the writing and world building. It also helps that it’s a gorgeous game.

      That being said I can’t see paying full price for it. I subscribed to ubisoft + for it and plan on canceling once I’m done with it. Playing it that way makes it cheaper than a ticket to the movies but for way more hours of pretty star wars locales.

            And I don’t trust the judgement of someone panning something they haven’t even played.

            At least it’s logical.

    In an alternate universe I just got a 10 kill streak with Ahsoka on the Siege of Mandalore map in Battlefront III. Star Wars Eclipse is coming out in a few months, and gameplay demos show that it looks every bit as good as the trailer.

        I’d link them for you, but I’m too busy playing the new 501st spinoff of Republic Commando. It’s pretty badass; you customize a squad of troopers and follow them through training on Kamino, through the Clone Wars, and even Order 66 and the Bad Batch era. It’s not just action; there are meaningful story choices you have to make as you struggle with your loyalty to the Republic and General Skywalker, vs the growing realization that something is wrong with the clones. It’s really well-written and voice acted with a mature story.

          Have you tried the new Rogue Squadron?

          My favorite addition is the galaxy liberation mode where you support systems to gain their favor and spend that favor for localized support and ship research.

      Do be fair, I think that Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor are some of the best Star Wars games ever made, maybe a tier behind the icons like BF2, Kotor, and Tie Fighter, but not that far and in hindsight I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s up there with them.

    Well, I’m having a really good time with it. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it is really tight and enjoyable. It’s a lot like an Uncharted in Space RPG. In both that regard, and it’s gameplay.

    Who even invests in ubisoft? If you know anything about games you would know ubisoft is crap company and if you dont know, why would you risk your money to something you have no idea about.
