I'm looking forward to it. Not letting the endless cynicism of this place get to me on this one.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

That would be pre 99, the prequels sucked and that was all George Lucas; every Star wars fan seems to suck this guys nuts..but he had almost nothing to do with ’Empire Strikes Back‘ or ‘Return of the Jedi’; Irvin Kershner directed the second, and Richard Marquand the third.

Even so, he is a creative genius and father of SW and Indiana Jones. Talents like him nowadays, let me think... error404.

Prequels weren't a thing back then. The word didn't even exist. What Lucas did was revolutionary. Yes, those movies were disappointing, because he sucks at writing and nobody dared to question any of his decisions.

Godfather part 2?

 

[EverydayBeast]

For some reason gamers were paralyzed by jedi survivor like it was a fluke, it set star wars in the right direction, and outlaws just looks like survivor without the light saber.

massive has a pretty solid track record. i trust them...

 

[Imtjnotu]

I am so waiting for this game to run like shit on consoles

 

[SJRB]

Might check it out on Ubi+ and cancel the sub after 1 month

Totally depends on reviews though but I'm not expecting anything amazing

This is the most important pro-tip I can give. Sub to Ubi+ for a couple of bucks, play the game until you’re bored and then unsubscribe.

You’ll get the ultra deluxe edition to play for a month and it will only set you back like 10 bucks.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I think I'll buy it... Nix is nice.

 

[March Climber]

You know this may sound crazy, but would you believe that once a upon a time, Star Wars used to be cool? People even considered it good.

I'm sure this will be a fine game, but I just can't get myself to be excited for another Star Wars game at this point, at all.

Not a hot take: On average, Star Wars video games have been much, much better than the movies and TV shows.

If anything the franchise is currently being carried by it’s video games, much like Indiana Jones is about to be.

Precisely what I plan on doing myself. I see no reason to pay full price for it when I can beat it in a one month sub and have time left over to play the Avatar DLC (and maybe more, depending on how long Outlaws is). Should have subbed for Avatar when it came out instead of paying full price. If Ubisoft wants to market the hell out of their "day one on Ubisoft+", I'll gladly save my money and only pay $17.99 for single player games I'm interested in rather than $70+.

If anything the franchise is currently being carried by it’s video games, much like Indiana Jones is about to be.

That's a bold prediction considering we've seen very little of the actual gameplay, just curated cutscenes. What little bit of gameplay we have seen has looked pretty rough. I need to see a lot more gameplay segments before I'm willing to say Indy Jones is going to move the needle on a dying Boomer's franchise.

 

[TheSHEEEP]

Even if Disney hadn't completely killed any excitement in me for Star Wars, giving any money to them is about as attractive to me as using sand paper to file nails.

The only way I'd be even less inclined to spend money on this would be if it was developed by Blizzard or EA.
Not that Ubi is much better, mind you...

I’ve had fun with every MachineGames title so far, and now they’re about to include first person whip mechanics (including a disarm and parry) on top of that.

I’m not saying this game is going to sell insane numbers, but I think it will do good enough to make people in modern times care about Indiana Jones as a video game franchise, not a movie franchise.

 

[Bert Big Balls]

Always been such a star wars fan but I just can't get excited about this game or any of the shitty shows they keep pumping out. They've made far too much mediocre or just bad SW content and a lot of people have just lost interest.

 

[Sentenza]

Can' honestly say I'm expecting this to turn out any good, but I'm not going to complain if I get proved wrong.

 

[Salmonboy]

Cool! This might be my....oh yeah, forgot about Ubisoft

 

[Randall365]

Given it’s a scoundrels game, why can’t you just play as Han Solo with Chewie as your side-kick? Lando turning up now and then - and you fly the millenium falcon everywhere.

Seems like such a no-brainer when you have the IP.

Disney’s theory that the characters are irrelevant and it just the ‘galaxy’ that is the draw has been shown to be bullshit. Rogue One was epic because it all hung on the events (and characters) of the first beloved film.

 

[Esppiral]

I don't care about star wars, but the game looks fun I may pick it up

 

[Randall365]

My son watched the Disney films the other week - it is hard explaining them after the originals.

So, we have to route for stormtroopers to be shot to bits, even though they are people of colour snatched from their birth parents at a young age? Yep!

But we cheer for Kylo Ren at the end, even though he murdered Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo and five whole planets with billions of people on them? YES!

I wonder what story they will give the stormtroopers in this to make ploughing through hordes of them with a blaster okay.

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

I love StarWars but I’m not certain I can stomach yet another obnoxious, overly masculine, female main character. I’m sorry, Ma’am Solo just isn’t appealing to me on any level.

 

[Fredrik]

This not being on Steam is the nail in the coffin for me.

Sigh had no idea about this, they never learn

 

[pokerlife]

I will love it when this scores 89 or higher and i come back here to laugh at all you woke crybabies

 

[Fredrik]

Ma’am Solo lmao brilliant, yeah this is a turn-off for me as well, as R Randall365 says they have the IP so not going with Han Solo and Chewie here makes no sense, it would sell gangbusters.

 

[Bonfires Down]

It honestly looks great. The Division, Assassin’s Creed, Mad Max for that matter, I love those games and this is similar but with state of the art visuals and set in the Star Wars universe. That’s all I need. The gameplay won’t be revolutionary but it will be plenty satisfying to me.

 

[Majormaxxx]

I'm looking forward to it. Not letting the endless cynicism of this place get to me on this one.

I'll get it but due to backlog and high prices will wait for sale

 

[KungFucius]

I guess it means ubisoft employees can take july as summer vacation.

Right because this isn't going to require a 30GB day 1 patch and still be buggy at launch.

Disney wants 'modern' fans

You racist boomer bigot. The force is lesbian super warriors.

 

[Bernardougf]

I expect an extremely mid game shit out by an algorithm and ChatGPT level writing.

I really think chatGpt can write better than the modern millennium/genZ writter. At least wont have the woke plague/bias.

"ChatGpt do you know Han Solo ? Do you Know classic star wars lore ? Than write a Han Solo solo adventure" at least something coherent and lore guided would come out of this.

What you usually have is some purple hair writter that hates star wars, hate the target audience and thinks they can re-write the lore because he/she/they are a genius.. even though he probably never saw any of the movies outside Disney Star Wars and thinks Last Jedi is brilliant.

 

[Hudo]

You know... I just wanted a new Jedi Knight game with Kyle Katarn...

 

[EDMIX]

Godfather part 2?

I'm saying

I have no clue where anyone got prequel was not a thing prior to Star Wars.

Another fucking classic, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, but shit, what do we know....

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[SJRB]

Can' honestly say I'm expecting this to turn out any good, but I'm not going to complain if I get proved wrong.

It's going to be the most 7.5/10 game of the year probably.

 

[semiconscious]

& as long as there's a hairdresser available somewhere on tatooine, i'm good with this...

 

[Toons]

​

Im hoping this one gets an eventually ps4 port as well.

[nemiroff]

The last set of previews killed all interest. Seemed..so off.. it was as if the game was designed ten or more years ago.

 

[Inviusx]

Press previews were pretty clear about the state of things and being 2 months from launch doesn't really inspire any hope that major fixes to the games design will take place.

Definitely sounds like your classic "76/100, doesn't fully realise its potential but there is enjoyment to be had if you look past its many flaws" kinda game.

 

[amigastar]

I'm pretty curious about the game and i will buy it when the reviews are good enough.

 

[dreamcastluvr]

I'll bite when it drops to $20 to play as discount Matt Damon...

 

[amigastar]

Yeah, they could have made her prettier.

 

[TYRiAX]

Totally dropped off Star Wars but loved the Jedi games. So if this is at least 70% as good as those games I'll happily buy it during some future sale

 

[BusierDonkey]

Definitely waiting for trusted reviews on this one, then I'll probably wait two years as is tradition.

 

[hybrid_birth]

Aside from Siege addicts, do you guys think there’s a guy out there whose main gaming platform is UbiConnect? Just lives for the yearly Assassins Creed, has a Far Cry tattoo. Unironically thinks Watch Dogs is an all time great franchise. Has a 170 hour Avatar save and hundreds of UbiConnect friends? I mean, for a company the size of Ubisoft there has to be at least one right? You’d think there would be thousands.

Yeah and he sings "One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do" by Three Dog Night

 

[sigmaZ]

I'll bite when it drops to $20 to play as discount Matt Damon...

Or better...Spike!

 

[Solarstrike]

It'll be interesting to see how this compares to the Star Wars Jedi series by Respawn, which are excellent. I still have hope in the Force.

 

[Moses85]

Ill give Ubisoft one

and buy this game.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Can't be worse than suicide squad game

Assuming leslye headland isn't directing the game that is

 

[ssringo]

I was never a big Star Wars fan but after the past several years I just can't drum up any care about more Star Wars. Especially coming from Ubisoft.

Same thing with superhero stuff.

 

[Hudo]

Why not just make the protagonist customizable? Let players define the looks and let players define the gender.

 

[Thaedolus]

Godfather part 2?

…is a sequel with extensive flashbacks
