Star Wars Outlaws

I couldn't force myself to keep playing. I hated AC Mirage at first with how clunky it was, but i kept playing and it became fine (100% it), but this game is just something else entirely in how bad it is. The gameplay elements in this game is just so bad that i wouldn't recommend anyone picking this game up, even at its 75% disc rate that i bought it at. 1. The stealth in this game is simply bad. Considering its a Ubisoft game and how they've worked on AC series, i expected better. If you're infiltrating, get caught, and died, reload to a save, the enemies you knocked out to pass through is back alive. So lets say you finish the job from that save, you go back out the same way, they're all alive and in some cases its nigh impossible to break through without getting detected and having to blast your way through. I think they tried too hard to prevent us from save scumming in this game, when almost all stealth games rely on us to learn the map and enemy behavior, then retry for a perfect run if we ♥♥♥♥ up. 2. I get motion sickness chasing random pirates on the ship. Its not even fun chasing bugs on your screen which goes around you and forces you to keep rotating this oversized ship which cant rotate fast enough. Maybe if i sticked with it and became better at it, this wouldn't be an issue, but it was so bad that i just stopped wanting to interact with anything related to the ship. 3. Contract system is a bunch of fetch quests that ultimately makes reputation and decisions in the main quest doesn't matter. Some of the quest also still have bugs on it. They tried to emphasize too much on RP experience instead of gameplay experience. I don't get the single try contracts as well, when it just means that you have to go back to your ship, check contracts, take them, and then go out again, wasting 10 minutes? These contracts failure also persists on your save even if you make them before you fail them lol. 4. The world exploration is horrendous on the speeder. This is speaking just from the first world you're in, maybe its better on the others but i don't believe it can be at this point. Its quite barren in terms of content, landmarks with treasures that are cosmetics and doesn't do anything to your character (basically a waste of time doing them). Some of them has parts for upgrades but i always sigh and feel pissed off when the treasure is just some keychain for your speeder. I can say a lot more bad things about this game if i kept a note of every single thing that frustrated me when i played it. Dying makes you lose money instead of reloading a save, wanted system, ability unlock requirements that isn't retroactive, Kessel Sabbac has too much RP, etc. The only good thing about this game is your pet Nix being cute thats it. I can't believe i got baited by youtube about how this game has gotten better. If this is a lot better, i can't imagine how bad it was during release. EDIT: I ended up finishing it because of sunk cost fallacy. The frustrating part of this game, the stealth, becomes irrelevant once you get upgrades and just blast your way through everything. The ship has gotten better once you get the upgrades, although i still hate it a bit. The main quest in itself is quite interesting but nothing special a 7/10, there were still parts that made me frustrated, something like "why is this traversal puzzle still here in the penultimate section of the story", completely breaks the pace. There are a lot of things that i just wish was more polished. The reputation system, how enemies respawns, how you could affect the world around you. You do this main story where you decide who the Queen of Ashiga clan is, but nothing really changes to the world. No matter how many times you betray factions, you can just go to a Miyuki Trader, buy syndicate data, and restore the rep. You can also just kill an entire base of any faction and they'll just respawn at the exact same place and treat you the same if your rep is good enough. What they could have done was lasting decisions where if you side with Crimson Dawn in the first area, maybe the Pyke Syndicate territories becomes Crimson Dawn's. The contracts you'll get from Crimson Dawn will be much more and more oriented to stealth, while if you side with the Pyke you'll get more smuggling. I feel like there is so much potential but it was just not there. I feel like they could delete this rep system and nothing would change much about the gameplay. My biggest gripe about this game is still the open world. I absolutely hate figuring out where treasures are, spending a lot of time on it, to only receive speeder/trailblazer coatings, that does not have any impact to your gameplay. In CP2077, you do all this NCPD scanners and gigs because you need the payout for better chromes, faster/combat cars, level up, and most of them also have a little bit of story from them through datapads. Since there are no such things as levelling in this game, and unlocking abilities are through experts, the side missions/contracts feels something you don't even wanna do. If you're considering whether to buy, the main quest is decent, blaster combat is fun, the world is beautiful, stealth is meh, open world leaves much to be desired. If you can get through the first hours in this game, at least until you complete all main quests in the first world, you'd probably have a decent time. I still can't recommend this game, there are still a lot of unresolved bugs, outdated/frustrating gameplay elements. If you've played better games before this, you'd be as frustrated as i was at the start of this game.

Womöglich ein echt gutes Spiel, atmosphärisch holt es einen echt gut ab. Jedoch, warum zum F... kann man nicht zwischenspeichern. Teils liegt der Speicherpunkt über 30min zurück, wenn man verkackt. Frustrierender geht's ja wohl nur bei Elden Ring. Hab mir seit Ende der Desmond Reihe von Assassins Creed kein Ubisoft-Game mehr gegeben und ganz ehrlich, ich hätte es dabei belassen sollen. Gut, dass es im Angebot nicht ganz 18€ vernichtet hat. Da ist die Motivation direkt wieder abgestorben. *klickt auf deinstallieren*

I spent 2 hours, trying to refine the controls, and make it work naturally as I could. For some reason the PC doesn't wanna natively pick up on the sensitivity, and other functions on my DS5 Edge, even though it says it full supports it. Also had this random bug where the camera would flicker up and down, making it very disorienting. And yes, motor functions were turned off (horizon align). Of the 2 hours spent playing, 85% of that was fiddling with the controls, so I could have a better experience. Alas, none of my attempts were successful... It's a shame I have to give it a thumbs down, but no other game behaves like this. Refunded.

Wonderful love letter to the original trilogy!

Hallelujah... Ubisoft hält seine Spieler für unglaublich unfähig. Jede Quest ist markiert, jede Kletterkante oder Sprung farblich gekennzeichnet, Stealth ist null taktisch, gibt nichts in dem Spiel bei dem man ein bisschen nachdenken oder Skill zeigen muss um Erfolg zu haben. Grafik ist aber nice. Alle Frauen sind natürlich auch super tough, cool, intelligent und null witzig, science fiction halt...

Nachdem ich das Spiel zunächst eigentlich gar nicht erst spielen wollte muss ich im Nachhinein sagen dass das wohl ein grosses Opfer von Ragebait Reviews geworden ist. Es ist nicht perfekt, aber das Spiel macht Spass und es sieht auch richtig gut aus. Schade, dass man es von Anfang an so niedergemacht hat. Hätte sicher ein grösseren Erfolg verdient gehabt.

Sehr schlecht Programiert, spiel abstürze und ein verdammt schlechtes menü. außerdem langes warten auf sein gleiter der immer an einem vorbei fährt und man kann ihn nicht stoppen und muss viele meter hinterher laufen.

I've been trying to play for an hour with no luck. My Ubisoft launcher was glitching, so I reinstalled it; then my Ubisoft account got locked, so I created a new one, but I'm still getting this damn message: "An error occurred while attempting to send your request. Please try again later." I BUY MY GAMES ON STEAM SO I DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOUR ♥♥♥♥♥♥ LAUNCHER, SO STOP FORCING US TO USE IT. please let me play

Main character is boring and just couldn't hook me on her story, mechanics, or personality in the prologue. 3/10

dont even get this on sale. buggy mess, runs terribly with textures flickering and popping in and out. massive vram leak. the game WILL bug and soft lock you. if you get past all that, the writting and gameplay are...ok. serviceable. it would be a fairly fun game if it worked. but. it doesnt.
