The Kinda Funny guys are some of the worst, but Ive been flipping through reviews all day to see what people are saying
Greg Miller gave it a 4/10 and Ive never heard him trash something like this before

Even her takedowns are exagerated. She is like a Wonderwoman putting a loads of force into that blow with is quite odd.
The force of one, the force of two or the force of many?

You know things are fucked when even Greg Miller is publicly trashing a game.

First time I've bothered with reading a review in a long time, but glad I did, and returned to an old haunt(Eurogamer) that regardless of score or leaning typically let me determine whether a game was likely to have a chance to be worth my money.
The review is very detailed and reads like someone that's been gaming in that genre as long as I have, and didn't need a score to tell me this a pick up dirt cheaper later, if at all affair, especially with the parting comment about Andor that shows the reviewer is committed to SW and tracking where it all fit together and looking for extra quality SW story.
Despite the accompanying video in the review looking semi-appealing watched part way through reading, it was interesting IMO how the review text by the end had dismantled that perception in covering a multitude of design issues that make it sound like a miserable experience to actually complete, and with little payoff in regards of story and character development.

They need to take a page out of Portal 2's book and not make everything so obvious.

Damn that's brutal, IIRC Greg generally likes Ubi games so this must be one huge stinkerThe Kinda Funny guys are some of the worst, but Ive been flipping through reviews all day to see what people are saying

Edit: I just got done reading the Eurogamer review and it's fuckin insane, it completey shreds the game apart. Recommend reading it if you want to see a bloodbath.

The Eurogamer review is excellent
Star Wars Outlaws review - stripped-back Ubisoft formula is admirable yet doomed
Eurogamer's review of Star Wars Outlaws, a game which strips away a lot of Ubisoft open world clutter but in doing so, leaves too little left.

Based on some videos I've seen today, even giving this game a 7 is a huge blow to the credibility of any games media organization. This is the new Webster definition of sloppa.
Holy shit. I just tried getting through Jedi Survivor and found it way too targeted at early teen gamers. Is Eurogamer saying SW Outlaws is best enjoyed by 11 year olds? Whole thing really felt like an after school cartoon TV show. Very similar in tone.

To use their older temporary reviewing system I would argue the EG review is an Essential badge for a game with an Avoid badge
jeez this hurts to read and I'm not even half way through, not sure these stuff can be patched.

Star wars is not a serious franchise so to expect this game to have a decent story and coming from ubisoft of all people is kinda crazy.
Cant believe thats the character model they actually shipped tho.

what can I say? i'm sure that a 'mature' star wars, full of 'sensitivity, humanity, and precision' likely also leaves the original movie trilogy light-years behind. proving what, exactly? that it's just juvenile junk now, too?...

power of the ip push most probably, it really seems like even worse than your standard ubi open world.

Has anyone ever done a full deep dive on who gets their scores counted for MetaCritic? I decided to do some digging on the oddly high scores from some people. I found this lad, who appears to be a blood relative of the MC in Outlaws.
opencritic.com
He recommends over 98% of the games he's ever reviewed. I've got a feeling publishers have a little too much sway in who gets their review counted towards the Meta score.
This next guy seems to mostly review Indie slop. Of the bigger releases, he holds SW Outlaws in higher regard than Cyberpunk 2077, Horizon Forbidden West and Sea of Thieves.
opencritic.com
I'm convinced this next guy is just an AI chat bot. Even the website "he" "writes" for, seems like it's entirely AI generated.

This next guy gave Gollum a 7/10

So basically it's generic Ubisoft open world crap except they stripped most of the time wasting collectathon shit out and showed us why Ubisoft open world crap is the most vapid and superficial time wasting game design in existence?
And then instead of just using actual Han Solo they put some random gremlin instead as the main character?
I'm sure it will still sell 10 million like all the other Ubicrap though, Ubisoft does what they do because it makes them money

Aggregators have always been dogshit. People hold a MC/OC score as fucking gospel when really it’s a general temperature.Has anyone ever done a full deep dive on who gets their scores counted for MetaCritic?

I rely solely on YT reviewers I trust (namely ACG, SkillUp and gameranx) along with friend recommendations.
It’s also easier than ever to just try stuff yourself now either via GamePass, Ubi+ or just steam refunds.
But a lot of people these days just want someone to tell them what to think so they can dunk on it on the internet.

How have Ubisoft not gone bankrupt yet? Their games are reviewing like crap and the sales numbers of their games aren't anything special, they must be in trouble.
