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

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.

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.

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.

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+.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Writes a lot, says very little
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....

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.

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.
