Another Ubisoft mediocrity. Shocking.


Half the game is probably recycled stuff from Beyond Good and Evil 2.

 

[BlackTron]

Not woke enough to earn big points there.

Or Ubi’s check was a little lean

I was under the impression Disney would write it if they had to.

 

[Sausy1987]

Wonder how it runs on Series X I've only seen convo around pc perfromance.

 

[Salz01]

Gonna wait till Black Friday deals.

 

[phant0m]

All big releases this year were from freaking asian developers.

Incredible how western studios have been pumping mediocre games.

No name Chinese studio plops out Black Myth as their first game - it’s gorgeous, competently designed, and doesn’t treat the player like an ATM

Western devs: you guys like the same slop we’ve been giving you for the last 7 years right? Here piggy piggy….

 

[MiguelItUp]

It's that Ubisoft touch, can't say I'm surprised.

I may still check it out through Ubi+, I mean, it seems fine, and I love Star Wars, lol. $18 seems like enough to see if I enjoy it or not.

 

[cormack12]

Eurogamer gave it a 2? The same guy that gave suicide squad a 3? Lmao.

 

[simpatico]

8 is generous. I imagine it’s really a 6.5 that’s actually made worse by the story and dialog.

 

[ComputerBlue]

IGN giving it a 7 is basically a 5 or 6.

 

[Fake]

Eurogamer gave it a 2? The same guy that gave suicide squad a 3? Lmao.

Ouch.

 

[Jaybe]

Star Wars IP is at an all-time low

 

[Astray]

This might be a game I pick up on a nice discount to play on console.

Easy game that you can play while relaxing after a long day.

Definitely not a day 1 purchase though.

 

[GHG]

Not surprised by this outcome at all.

Looked like it would end up like this during whatever conference it was last shown at. Never passed the eye test in uncut gameplay scenarios.

Will wait for it to be $10 on Steam in a few years. Don't care to play this now with so many other games to keep me occupied.

 

[Diseased Yak]

Reviews are in line with what I'm expecting. I'll give a $17.99 rental via Ubisoft+.

 

[Boss Mog]

Hard pass.

 

[welshrat]

Wonder how it runs on Series X I've only seen convo around pc perfromance.

Yes same here but for ps5. Hope they're is a half decent 60fps mode otherwise I will get it on pc or wait for the pro

 

[Gamezone]

IGN giving it a 7 is basically a 5 or 6.

With Star Wars it's more like 3.

 

[Little Mac]

IGN giving it a 7 is basically a 5 or 6.

IGN giving the game a 7 when Ubisoft is plastering ads for Outlaws all over IGN tells me you're probably right.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Man, mid 70s is always the worst review score.

If it’s like 89, hey it’s probably a good game, I’m glad this got made.

65: wow this is a piece of shit and I can have some fun mocking it.

76: mostly just apathy

 

[StueyDuck]

I was assured it was the best star wars game in years.

Turns out it's pretty generic.

 

[Bond007]

Pretty much confirms i buy this around it's first sale.
Glad it sounds decent.

 

[sigmaZ]

Best review I found.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

From IGN's review....

I Like Big Hutts and I Cannot Lie​

 

[Bulletbrain]

Ubisoft games should only be comped against other ubisoft games (how is this new ubisoft game fare against this other similar ubisoft game from before). Then ubi formula lovers at least can have some information whether a game is worth it or not.

For the rest of us, it's always wait for 10 bucks or lower.

 

[kiphalfton]

Gaming in a nutshell: good graphics, awful/repetitive gameplay loop and sucky story.

 

[StereoVsn]

Waiting for discount 19,99 for about a month or so

Gonna be epic adventure for sure

Yep, might as well wait for patches and pay the $20-30 it will be in six months to a year.

 

[Darchaos]

Yawn, just gonna give Jedi Survivor another run, this looks sooo boring.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Meh, not surprised.

They had a gameplay showcase last year. It looked clean AF and pretty alright but when i saw the new gameplay last month, i knew that was some hardcore vertically sliced content. Never a good sign.

 

[Null Persp]

so much engaging gameplay

 

[Jaybe]

Eurogamer gave it a 2? The same guy that gave suicide squad a 3? Lmao.

The reviewer was actually questioned about this:

 

[dorkimoe]

Might pick this up in 3 months once the technical issues have been patched and the PS5 Pro solves the performance issues...

Yeah same. Allowing patches was the worst thing to ever happen to gaming because now companies just shovel them out and fix it later. It’s unacceptable to me that their sole job is to release a fucking game that plays on a console without issue and nobody can do it anymore

 

[Ogbert]

These reviews seem very generous.

I've watched a couple of videos and it looks fucking terrible.

Hard pass.

 

[Arsic]

Still gonna wait for hands on impressions from people here.

If anything space marine 2 is next week and I could just get that which is looking to be a GOTY contender.

 

[Certinty]

The reviewer was actually questioned about this:

I mean, I haven't played Outlaws but he's not wrong about Suicide Squad. As meh as that game is in almost every way, the movement and combat is pretty damn great and satisfying. Just looking at videos of Outlaws, it doesn't even look fun in that same way.

 

[GHG]

Best review I found.

This makes the 7's seem very generous.

It's getting to the point where all these western entertainment/gaming compaines/studios could cease to exist and it would actually be a good thing.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Ubisoft? no thanks

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

I wonder if the game will flop like Avatar?

 

[RoboFu]

if the media is giving it 8 and 7s that means is a 4 or 5.

 

[excaliburps]

Hey, hey! Adding our review to the pile!

Star Wars Outlaws Review - Charted Territory

Star Wars Outlaws Review - Ubisoft's first open-world Star Wars game ticks off the check boxes but falls into familiar territory.

mp1st.com

6.5/10

Feel free to ask me stuff! I won't answer anything spoiler-ish though.

 

[PeteBull]

4/10 from eurogamer makes sense, i remember digital foundry complaining they didnt get free disneyland trip for preview like many other outlets so was expecting proper review from eurogamer/DF w/o pulling any punches like they usually do

 

[adamsapple]

Soft locks that break game progression late in the game, yikes.

Hopefully day / week 1 patches address shit like that.

 

[GymWolf]

IGN gave it a 7

Star Wars Outlaws Review - IGN

Star Wars Outlaws is a fun intergalactic heist adventure with great exploration, but it’s hindered by simple stealth, repetitive combat, and a few too many bugs at launch.

So as good as dustborn?

 

[Flabagast]

What do reviews say about the story and characters ?

 

[The Cockatrice]

Best review I found.

Idc about reviews but Im at work and watched this dude because he genuinely shows stuff and jesus, the facial animations, we laughed at it, but its much more awful lmao. Space Exploration is just looting crates and shooting a few ships. Combat is pretty much a mess and stealth is half-baked. This should be a fucking a 5 at best. Not gonna bother with uplay+ either.

 

[Lunarorbit]

Brought all the homies to watch the wreck.

Oh fuck. Hahaha. I had to study it for awhile to realize that's Christian bale. Is that newsies?

 

[FoxMcChief]

I’ll play it on which ever subscription service it hits first, ps+ or game pass. Or never. No biggie.

Yeah and a smidge under Black Myth Wukong.

 

[Black_Stride]

Edit: 77

EuroGamer 2 /5??????
Gamer Guides 50/100?????

What?

Yeah her facial animations look silly, and they still didn't fixed the terrible takedowns animations, none of them.
