EDMIX whenever a new Ubisoft thread comes around and other people start criticising or mocking Ubisoft:

Everyone else:

I almost feel bad for the guy. Almost.

 

[Zacfoldor]

When they value a message of inclusion more than success.

Too bad in this case the "inclusion" is of a half woman half cobra head hybrid.

It would be so funny if we find out in like 10 years that the game runner was really into modding his own head into that of a snake and that's why we got what we got.

Seeing this head is like finding out what the monsters in HP Lovecraft short stories actually look like in detail.

Kay Vess definitely has the "Innsmouth look."

 

[mitch1971]

i gave it a shot but the forced stealth is shit.

They patched that didn't they?

 

[hemo memo]

lol I'm sure about that.

Reading the context of the actual link, it actually like they are talking about lore

Like no person has ever done this, not that no player since release or something as this is a update, as in the feature itself is in this update, thus of course no one has done it, its being introduced in the update


"Canto Bight is not only Kay and Nix's home but also the home of Fathier Racing which is why it was a natural fit for our game. With Canto Bight in the game and syndicates obviously rigging races, it perfectly aligned with the world we were building. The races offer thrilling scenarios, where your fathier might make a desperate sprint to cross the finish line first, capturing the excitement of real horse races. We worked hard to make these races as entertaining as possible.

Here's a little secret: to this day, no one has acquired their own fathier! To unlock this, players need to complete dedicated short quests scattered around these betting stations. This will reveal an additional quest that brings Kay back to Toshara for a special opportunity. Let's see if anyone can crack it now!"


So looking into the full context, I don't think they are saying some feature since release has not been done or something weird like that, it reads more like no one as in within that universe, not "no one" as in actual fucking gamers lol

Your tag has never been more accurate.

From this thread

So.....

 

[DragoonKain]

I may go back to it at some point because I hated so many things about it that they apparently improved. But even then, the core gameplay wasn't even good, so I don't know. Traversing the bland worlds was boring to me. And the gameplay loop was dull. So it's not like it was Cyberpunk where I was chomping at the bit to go back and play a fixed version. It's one of those games I'll get to when I clear my backlog and have downtime.

 

[drotahorror]

lol nah, you just need to comprehend what you are reading better....

"Let's see if anyone can crack it now!"

Well wtf is that supposed to mean

 

[ReBurn]

So nobody has 100% completed the game. Wild.

 

[j0hnnix]

its a mini game, with fetch quests and low user base.. yeah, not many people want to do that crap.

 

[Hookshot]

1,138 people on Steam currently playing it and PC players are most likely to be dirty cheating hackers so one of them is bound to get the space cow to ride.

 

[Gamezone]

Basically the only Star Wars game I haven't played or will play since the early 90's.

 

[Plague Doctor]

I was told this game had long legs. I was told this on great authority that the haters were going to be proven wrong. I was told that the SW IP was so strong, any game would just sell with the name on the cover. I was told it was a fine game and just the grifter were making a fuss and when the greater market saw it, everything would be alright.

I was told this by "real experts".

There's no space cow to ride because there are no unlockable mounts.

 

[EN250]

Your tag has never been more accurate.

Should be updated to "decides to die on the worst hills possible"

Imagine doing the spinning and damage control for SW Outlaws, of all games...

 

[Krathoon]

Dear Ubisoft,

Stop sucking. I want that Beyond Good and Evil sequel.

Happy Holidays,
Krathoon

 

[rkofan87]

They patched that didn't they?

yes but for for me i wish it was like ac where if your found you can try too fight your way out in outlaws its still game over if your found.

 

[Same ol G]

It also sounds like they are talking about the lore of the game


They never say "player"..

A few people online believe they know what mission they are talking about and state they have already done this.

"
Not sure at what stage in or completion percentage of the game they’re triggered to show up or if they’re always there (I just did them yesterday after having already beat the main story), but…

Tatooine: just outside the building in Mos Eisley where the table is, there’s someone worried about a sibling that got in bad with the Hutts (talk to her to trigger the intel)

Kijimi: there’s two Ashiga talking about placing a bet that would be “very profitable” (you have to eavesdrop from a bench to trigger the intel)

Akiva: when you walk into The Alcazar, there’s a poster about imperial sponsored Fathier Racing (have Kay “observe” it to trigger the intel; then another eavesdrop)

Toshara: (there’s an initial part and then the “finale” of the whole series; I did the initial part third (out of the four) and then had to go back to finish the series w/ part 2) pt. 1 - talk to a disgruntled Jockey at the table and place a bet according to his tip; pt. 2 - talk to him again (he’s down the way from the table) and resolve

The end result is that you clear his name and sponsor him to get back into Fathier racing - the “reward” (after you basically pay for his re-admission) is that Kay names the Fathier (but you don’t ever actually get to see it…you can bet on it, though). You also get residual income periodically delivered to the delivery/pickup crate in the “garage” of the Trailblazer"

someone else states something similar

"I think I might have gotten this? There is a jockey by one of the fathier tables in Mirogana. He asks you for help to get him back in the races - first you hack a console in Crimson Dawn territory, then you front him credits to get his license back. Since you’re officially his patron, you get to name the fathier (Trailblazer, of course!). "


Plus, with people who have already platinumed the game and did guides for it, why would they not get this feature unless it was something just recently released?

I didn't play the game so i can't answer your questions.
I only reacted to your comment because in my opinion the dev notes were pretty obvious.

[Zannegan]

What the fuck is a Fathier anyway.

I want to ride around on a wampa.

Or at least a Wookie.

Can I interest you in a little title called Dragon Age: The Veilguard?

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Im having a hard enough time sticking with Indiana Jones with its stealth and combat.

 

[mitch1971]

yes but for for me i wish it was like ac where if your found you can try too fight your way out in outlaws its still game over if your found.

Notable updates to stealth and combat that allow players greater choice, including using stealth or reaching for their blaster, even in syndicate territories in cities.

I thought that ment the same thing.

at the start of the game when they are looking for you its still game over if your found i think i will give it a chance and see.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

pretty crazy if true

Star Wars has some pretty hardcore fans. you'd think some loser would have 100% the game within a week or so.

 

[Zannegan]

I tried my best. Disney just isn't brave enough for Wookie riding scenes... yet.

 

[Skelterz]

Ubisoft are dead the games are shit and nobody cares.

or actually logically reading and looking up the info first instead being spoon fed every article looking to tell you what to think.

Thinking for yourself must be a struggle lol

 

[EDMIX]

I almost feel bad for the guy. Almost.

I feel bad for you guys lol

You guys want a fuck ton of attention for this lol

Folks on reddit seem to have already completed what ever this is..

Plus how could folks Platinum it without doing this? How could anyone make the guides for this without doing this?


So that sounds like there is much more to this, but shit, you probably have to be able to investigate and read a bit to find it =)

 

[Same ol G]

You're the only one with a different opinion it seems arguing with everyone who tells you you're wrong, make of that what you want.

Folks on reddit seem to have already completed what ever this is..

Dev seems to disagree.

Plus how could folks Platinum it without doing this? How could anyone make the guides for this without doing this?

People already pointed out in this thread that probably not everything has to be done 100% to unlock that trophy.

So that sounds like there is much more to this, but shit, you probably have to be able to investigate and read a bit to find it =)

Well the devs spelled out what has to be done so lets see what happens....

 

[Freelance Yakuza]

In Middle-earth: Shadow of War, the ending was so poorly done, completely designed to make you spend money buying orcs, that almost no one saw the "true ending." I know it was bad because I received an email from the developer shortly after the game's release, saying they had made an update to remove the fortress grinding and inviting me to finish the game.

 

[EDMIX]

Dev seems to disagree

? Someone from Ubisoft confirmed the comments on Reddit is not what the quest is referring to?

People already pointed out in this thread that probably not everything has to be done 100% to unlock that trophy.

True, it may not be linked to any trophy, but what about the people making the guides?

So this is one of those things i generally doubt and want more info on vs just believe it outright as it already sounds pretty sus lol

Well the devs spelled out what has to be done so lets see what happens..

It seems many already did this and simply state you get the mount to just bet on and you can name it, unless they are saying its something else like you literally physically have it as something to ride around the overworld

if in a week no one has some video of them riding it in the overworld, its likely the quest that has you naming it actually is what they are referring to. So we'll have to see, as I assumed this was spark some thing to have folks try to gain it to see if it was true or not lol

lol thats crazy! That sounds like one of those things where its hard, but many completed it, but it has issues that needed to be corrected. I think if GTA SA released now, thats what you'd see happen to the train mission lol

 

[Freelance Yakuza]

It's not that simple. To get the true ending, you had to go through stages where it was necessary to conquer/reconquer an increasing number of fortresses. In one stage, it was just one, then three, four. I think you had to redo the fortress missions at least 16 times, with the orcs' levels constantly increasing. To get higher-level orcs, you had to either train your own or capture enemy commanders, which took a lot of time.
There was the option to buy, of course.
I loved the game but refused to put up with that nonsense.
After the update, I loaded my save file with the game completed, and all I had to do was capture one single fortress.

 

[SJRB]

The dev who crunched on animating this fucking thing for four years:

 

[RavageX]

This game isnt anywhere near as bad as a lot of you make it out to be. Pretty sad trend around here (lately?).

Ive been enjoying it a good bit. Guess it depends on how you play, same with the Creed series.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Reap what you sow.

Is not about sw outlaws... Edmix is a huge sjw ... so any game with controversy surrounding DEI/Woke he is there ... in this case was the ugliness of the female MC, but he will be there for Interstellar, AC shadows and so on.

so whats the trend here ? Shitting on a universally disliked game that the market rightfully rejected ? Cant blame GAF for this failing bro. We are just a few incels in our basements afterall

lmao, so much success to "red dead redemption in space"

 

[xrnzaaas]

It's funny how people post about finding super hidden easter eggs from RDR2 or Cyberpunk, while Ubisoft has to tell them what to do.

 

[cormack12]

I think the key phrase is 'to this day', I think it applies ot the base game. But it's no different to those saying players still haven't found all the easter eggs in various games. A lot of these quests can be missed if you aren't going to look for them or approaching everyone. The game isn't as bad as everyone made out imo. But again, outstays its welcome. The only trophy tied to the races is win a fixed race which is a sidequest anyway. The races are just hologram horse races essentially.

 

[Laptop1991]

Well i don't want to buy and play it and i used to love Star Wars, and that's based on what i've seen of the game, then again Ubisoft will just take it away at some point as we don't own it after paying for the game, your not doing that to me again Ubisoft! lol.
