After watching the full hour long Kinda Funny review, I’d say the panel’s review and comments mirror my experience with the game to the letter. There’s a whole lot of elements here but none of them elevate to “good”, let alone “great”. We’ve done all these things in a multitude of different games, all of which did these things better. I might be getting upgrades but I never felt like they’ve made any real impact because the base stealth and shooting is so bad.
I’m just mad at myself for ignoring my gut and wasting a month’s sub on this game. At least I only threw away $18, and not $100+.

But still better than Wukong because inclusivity and diversity!
What magazine or review was?

Spoiler, but not really: He really did not like the game. And his video is #17 in trending as of me posting this.

Is this game worth subscribing to Ubisoft + for a month to play or is it so bad that the $17.99 subscription cost isn't worth it?

If you want to play it 17 bucks is nothing, so go for it.

It's a good game, worth paying that price, you can even play the new Prince of Persia or wait until AC Shadows is out and for that price it's a steal!

I love how he immediately gives the answer at the 0:00 mark. And the video is #5 on trending currently.

It's generic Ubisoft copy and paste trash, but if you like Ubi games you'll probably like it.

Tbf outlaws is really not the type of game that hobo dude enjoys.
A lot of talking, stealth, minimal combat.

Comparing this to RDR2 is an insult to RDR2

And yet, ign said that it was rdr2 in space.

IGN will say whatever you want if you invite them to Disneyland and let them make their own light sabre with the other kids.

Picked this up yesterday and played for an hour or so before bed.
Seems great!

What really gets me about this comparison is that RDR2 is a PS4/XBOXone game.
It's a current VS last gen game. If you didn't know better you wouldn't tell which is which. And if you had to guess, you would probably say RDR is the current gen game because it still looks better.
I know, diminishing returns and all, but i still haven't felt this generation jump in the slightest.

Funny thing is they think it's something so worthy of note that I lie about it being the first open world Star Wars when there was Galaxies.

This really fucking sad and honestly part of why I haven’t been impressed by this generation in the slightest. GTA:VI can’t come fast enough to show people how it’s done.

Yeah this is the worst generation by far. It feels like all we got was a resolution bump. I'm enjoying Outlaws for what it is, but it looks and feels like a PS4 game, like everything else I've played this gen.

I keep playing this on PS5 mostly for the graphics.
The gameplay and mechanics are so DATED.
My other big issue is that Kay isn’t likeable at all neither are any of the characters except Nix (the pet) and maybe ND5. Rest are just filler.
At this point, I’m skipping every side quest and rushing thru main quest to finish this before Astro Bot this week.

You don't even need to compare it to something as impressive as Red Dead. The WiiU is a year older than the PS4 and XOne and significantly weaker yet Breath of the Wild's physics and world immersion are significantly better than this game, released 7 years later.

It's unfair to compare any open world game to rdr2 tho.
Lucky for us outlaws lose even against way lesser\older games

One of the green rats
my simple review:
- basically 90% is stealth gameplay
- a lot of stealth is MANDATORY
- Ubisoft fetch quests
- space combat is passable
- of course she is gay ( its modern starwars ) not that it matters but a lot of people want to know
- graphics are muddy and blurry at best.
- performance is pretty good though.
overall some fun to be had but nothing that cannot wait for a price drop.
6/10

she flirts with the speed bike mechanic

What the story and Kate's personality? I read those are often lacking too.

Stealth is not really mandatory.
Let me put it this way, for story\lore reason they had to make some mission with immediate fail state because it would not make sense to be discovered and still finish the mission if not being discovered is a key aspect.
But they knew their stealth was loosy and unreliable so 90% of the stealth is not mandatory, you can go guns blazing as much as you want because the ia is brain dead and the punishment for being discovered are very light because the rep system is 1cm deep and you can gain easily more rep when you lose it.
The game has the lowest stakes ever except in those couple of missions with immediate fail state and dogshit\absent autosave.
When you get the things you need from the factions that adapt to your playstyle, then you can play the game as a shooter for 90% of the time.

He absolutely loved Cyberpunk though, which has a lot more talking than anything else during its main missions.

I like this, but I think I'm going to drop it (luckily I got it free with my CPU) - I just don't get along with these stealth games. I feel the same way about this as I did Last of Us pt. 1 which I tried three separate times and dropped - I just don't find sneaking around all that much fun, and I'm generally terrible at them - just attempted the first real stealthy section about five times (infiltrate someone's palace or something) and just can't get it. And having to start the section again? Life is just too short. Looks great and I'd love to keep playing, but this kind of gameplay is just not for me (other examples would be Hitman), however much I enjoy the world and the story.

Shame really, was hoping for a decent Starwars game. DF are praising the graphics on all platforms but you ain't impressed?

I didn't even knew he played cyberpunk, him saying that he was about to play it but never actually doing it was like a meme if i remember well

Just pay a month of ubi premium and play the game, it's not complete shit.
EverydayBeast
thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
77 is pretty good that’s not a bad game developers are allowed to make mistakes. Star Wars is one of societies favorite franchises, the year before it was Jedi survivor. I think the Ubisoft dna is intriguing more than anything.

Yeah, not getting the complaints about the visuals. I think it looks good and I'm playing on the 60fps mode.

It's usually the right way to play ubisoft game at launch when they are still buggy and you are not sure about it.
And you can also try skull and bones for free in the meantime

Fuck Outlaws, but, this isn't a fair comparison, Outlaws had like a quarter of RDR2s budget.
