Hi.
Aight
Amazing.
Yes sir 🫡
ok
Gameranx: The game is ok, nothing special, just ok
Ubisoft: Nailed it
Both Disney and Ubisoft have seemed content for the last 5-10 years to make everything by committee with too much input from executives and accountants that is just okay.
Sweet . Is it reasonably easy or ?
That sounds better than it's looked so far.
But yeah, 'minimum viable product' sounds about right for this end-of-life company that execs are just sucking the soul out of.
It's a ubisoft game.
Hard mode is still going to be easy @orin81
With Ubisoft's price skimming strategy, it will be $30 by Black Friday.
Another Ubisoft "wait until it's heavily discounted to $20-25 on a sale within a year" type beat
This
It's Ubisoft. It'll be $40 in two weeks and $20 in 6 months.
The gameplan every time. This shit will be 30 bucks for Xmas.
I'm renting it
They'll sell at at 5 bucks sooner or later. Like wildlands.
Games like this makes me realize how great Red Dead Redemption 2's open world is. You can bump into people, call them names, start fights, tie people up, put them on your horse, deliver them to the sheriff for bounties etc. This game's open world has none of that, which makes it feel shallow in comparison.
I'm genuinely surprised people are into that kind of game. Ubisoft open-worlds are so vanilla.
Because the Americans devs really know how to make games for the people, this is the reason why the greatest games of all time come from American devs, not Europeans.
rockstar are a British developer.. ubisoft are french.. Sony are Japanese.. that's a very bold statement@@christhedoc8689
@@christhedoc8689 Larian are from EU ;-)
yup rockstar be making some great detailed games
The most common saying nowadays is 'it has its moments'. Which is simply not enough for a full priced game.
I think Jake covers that pretty well. The TLDW: wait for patches, maybe wait for the inevitable discount, and if you're not a big SW fan who likes these types of games it probably won't shift the dial. I agree. A game doesn't have to chain home runs, I'd play mid at a discount , but "has its moments" isn't going to cut it.
Especially when that price is north of a hundred bucks for the "full" experience.

“I recommend Outlaws to a patient, hardcore Star Wars fan at some point.” Thanks for the summary, Jake. Hoping to catch this one in the next major PS store sale, then 😂

Gonna be a sad day if gameranx ever starts pandering to culture war tourists for clicks. I’m glad they don’t
@@johnvalliant261 I feel like as long as Jake Baldino is on there team theres a minimal chance that would happen. Hes just not that type of person. His passion for gaming is always very apparent especially on his personal channel
All the negativity surrounding Star Wars Outlaws, is absolutely justified. The Standard edition of this game has a chunk missing out of it, in order to push the gamer to choose a more expensive version. The Standard version is $70 and it's rife with bugs, poor character performance, almost non existent character development and very clumsy game mechanics all round. The main character looks NOTHING like the model they used to design the character(which begs the question as to why they even bothered hiring an actress for this game?) 98% of all reviewers(the honest ones)....are completely trashing this game and you think it's some shady conspiracy?? Hey...if you want to piss away anywhere from $70 ro $130 for this game, then go for it....but you were warned(for very valid reasons.)
Yeah I agree, I try to avoid that side of things, these days. It's exhausting and unhealthy.

@Thekrazyk2010 Also when I commented on other channels how they were trying to save EAs face by blaming (now that they splitted) FIFA for all of what was wrong with their subpar game franchise my comments got deleted. Funny to see how things actually work in the business and in general.
This is a good game. Honestly I appreciated that it was streamlined and straight forward. Would have added duels and more speeder/ship customization but the core here is very good imo
There's no way someone thought the facial animations were ok. There are people PAID to greenlight that.
Is ubisoft... they are cheap like that.
Yep and they are on par with every other massively huge open world game. It will never stop being hilarious when people act like huge open world games should be like photo realistic with the most amazing human NPC characters LMFAO. Half the games people jerk off over and claim are life changing massive open world games ALL have a huge amount of jank and not very spectacular looking NPCs OR are mostly dead....
The speederbike section in motion looks so bad i thought it was console version
@@lutherheggs451yeah but theres a difference between a believable looking human face and what appears to be wallace and grommit over here
Same thing happened with Mass Effect Andromeda, horrible facial animations.
Absolutely not giving Ubisoft a dime. Frontiers of Pandora is still broken on PC for thousands of players, and they haven’t done a fucking thing to fix it.

Really wish this was more of an RPG. Create a character, choose a race, pick a class, weapons and skill tree to build your preferred play style. Fuck it, let CDPR make the next starwars game.
Yes, it could've been so much better but not in Ubisoft hands
at least they fixed Cyberpunk at some point...
It really would have been a completely different game. This is an Unchartered Star Wars game not a Cyberpunk 2077 Star Wars game.
@David-ud9ju I'm not saying they should make a star wars game in the style of cp2077 I'm just saying CDPR has an insane track record for making great RPG games
@@David-ud9julol what. Cdpr would make a great Star Wars game.
I'm that loser that buys games 2 years later at 80% discount after 10 patches that make the game amazing. This will be one of those games.

I can now see why Ubisoft didn't want to release pre-order numbers.
so can you tell me when exactly any company was revealing such a numbers for you?
@@Grebeny there’s many companies that do so. Usually they only tell when the numbers are actually good. This game looks like a crappy Star Wars version of red dead redemption.
@@Grebenyonly games like gta and fifa will do lol
@@Grebeny It's pretty rare that companies do
@@Grebenybut think of it this way, this is a massive open world star wars game. That should have a huge pull and would be seen in pre-orders. But they really dropped the ball with it which is why they are not proud or preorder numbers
Thank you for all the before you buys. Honestly the best place to get reviews.
One of the best channels
I don't even plan on buying most of the games they review, I just like to see the unbiased and honest takes on whatever's dropping tbh
I kind of wish respawn would devote an entire team to creating an open world, Jedi Star Wars game. They know what the fuck they’re doing. I absolutely love the Jedi games with Cal Kestis
Yeah they are incredible
He is such a great protagonist
Mid tbh
Same. I love everything about it tbh.
@@josephking3654And like at first I thought Kal Cestis was gonna be another generic Jedi dude trying to find his chosen one moment...but no dude is actually very interesting and his characteristics are good, I just wish they do this for characters in the movies yk make em compelling amd actually interesting while also setting up their stories to be their personal goals and not it will change the entire universe thing

Don't have the slightest clue about how incredibly complex modern games are huh? Been under a rock since the 360 era? Lack any critical thinking ability? Sad.
@@cenciende9401while it is normal for new games to have bugs, Ubisoft has a history of an abnormal amount of bugs and glitches on launch, more than a usual game. Take some time before you get all mad.
Tbh I’m 11hrs into a play through not encountered one bug
After Valhalla, major Ubisoft games are not buggy but the animations and cutscenes still suck
Details in graphics makes a nice game, details in gameplay makes a cult classic.
Good graphics are not even special anymore. Most of time now it feels like it's in an uncanny valley now. Ita like devs focus on graphics over making the core game play loop fun.

How about we get Respawn to make a Bounty Hunter or Republic Commando game? Leaning more into their Titanfall team. I think that would be big-money Star Wars territory.
Execs don’t got an interest in it
Imagine! Republic Commando. Dream come true..
OMG I'd love a Republic Commando game! But... Respawn are owned by EA. EA hates singleplayer games because they can't find a way to get away with over-the-top (predatory) monetization in it.
We can alway dream, vode.

Welcome to AAAA gaming!
What previous SP massive huge open world Star Wars games were previous to Outlaws?
As star war is anything special and as if ubisoft has never made an open world game before . ALL of the games are lower quality now @lutherheggs451
Looks like a 'wait a year till they finish' type game.
“It really hit its stride with Patch X” kind of feel.
It should be fine by Xmas
They will never finish it, it gets maybe two patches that changes completely unecesarry things and they will call it a day!
its ubisoft tho theyre gonna cash their sales and start half developing their next title for immediate release
More like "wait for a version that actually has the whole game"
remember peeps u hate the game or the company not the content creator who is just reviewing the game.... and giving his honest opinion
it’s funny how reviews that don’t like the game is just people giving their opinions but reviews who like the game are “shills” almost as if you guys only believe that “opinion” shit goes one way 😂😂😂
Except many content creators were literally bribed by Ubisoft to give favorable reviews on this crap game & soon they will do the same for shadows. Idk about you but once a UA-camr shows lack of integrity that's his whole brand done & gone. We're on independent UA-camrs to escape shit media like IGN & the like, we don't want to see UA-camrs turn into that shit lol
@@CanisoGamingcrikey. Who was bribed? I'll avoid their channels.
@@jtrillz3953 Because the ARE shills. They literally get paid for giving it a good review. If you think good reviews aren't bought, oh sweet summer child, you are truly naive.

General Grevious woult not be adding this to his collection. 😅
W comment!!
Lol😂
Who?
There isn't any light saber for him to add 😂
Best comment.
I like the game, it got better after a few hours. I m about 10 hours in. I like the fact that it pushes you to explore, it doesn't always show you the exact location of the stuff you need to find. Like the old games around 2000 did. Also, the fact that you can go and make another mission while one is on going, it s pretty interesting.
If I ever get this game, it’ll be when it’s $15 and all the bugs have been fixed.
If they fix her face to the real person, I ain't paying 15 to play an 👽
Only if there are mods for her face.
The entire game is a bug
So, never lol
Okay
The ragdoll at the bottom right corner at 1:06 has me SCREAMING 😭😭

Lmao looks like something from spongebob
Outta nowhere
Watching this video I can’t help but think that Outlaws has a lot of elements I would have wanted in Starfield. The open world exploration (no walking borders), the smooth transition from being on a planet to going into space, and not being so graphically demanding on PC users.
You must not have played starfield kid. Also if you didnt have smooth transitions but was still "graphically intense" your machine is sub par.
As usual, great work to Jake and co. I've been waiting for this one for a WHILE! Stoked to get in there and play around.
Maybe we'll eventually get a fully customizable Star Wars bounty hunter RPG one day.
It would've been an alot more interesting way to explore the Star Wars underworld.
Or at least play as Han Solo or Dash Rendar instead of some random character that I could careless about.
@@ZombieGojira bro shut up nobody has any fucking clue who Dash Rendar is, that's just as much of a random character.
I've always wanted exactly what you describe above. Choose your species, upgrade weapons, armor, "tools of the trade", ship, go out on bounties that are challenging and interesting, gain a reputation among your scum and villainy peers, I'd be all over that.
@@petermitchell7914 We need more games with Character Creation in general. That way, even with how dumb they always handle the main character these days, it would still be at least tolerable.
A game like that could even be fun with life paths like in cyberpunk. Maybe change your motivations up
Weird that big game devs are still trying to make a game as good as TLOU and The Witcher 3 that were released 9 to 10 years ago. And they keep failing.
Ubi tried to copy the Witcher 3 with Assassins Creed Origins and it is the best game thety made in years. They should try harder to copy them
Don’t forget about RDR2
@Sco10 To me Valhalla seemed like the 9ne they were trying to copy Thr Witcher on and that is by far the worst one (I mean maybe besides the first one)
Children these days haven't even heard of skyrim... will I be long gone before the sequel?
@@bloblom8208 RDR2 > TLOU :)
I just wish they’d give us what 1313 promised twelve years ago.
the thoughts of what could have been. 1313 and battlefront 3. bummer man
You will NEVER get that simply because that’s not what Star Wars is anymore. It’s the moment Disney bought the rights, you had to accept that it was going to a big, hollow franchise to print money. What prints money is family friendly fun with ‘cool action set pieces’, ‘hilarious and relatable dialogue’ (“THEY FLY NOW????”), and safe, easy storylines that do not dare challenge the audience EVEN SLIGHTLY.
That’s Disney, bud. They did the same to Marvel - it’s like when, as a kid, you’d mix all the amazing colours of playdough together and you’d be left with tofu grey.
For what it’s worth, I’ve subbed to Ubisoft Plus for the month and I’m having a fun time with the game. It’s fun to switch my brain off and zip about Tatooine, watching the little fucking squeaky guys chirp “wabbacheebadoopdoop”.
I am 100% an advocate for video game preservation and ownership; however, I don’t think I WANT to own another Ubisoft game because they simply do not care enough to make a genuine, worthwhile video game.
@@JamesThomas-wf6qm"I am 100% an advocate for video game preservation and ownership"
You'll be happy to know that the "physical" copy still requires a download to play.
It could eventually be delisted and disappear from servers forever.
That promise being never releasing another starwars thing? Yes please. Lol
@@JamesThomas-wf6qm it was that long before disney bought it. It's why it had such a large price tag. The prequel geeks go on about how they haven't made their money back because the sequels didn't earn enough to counter it buts that's using the flawed view that star wars make their money in movies.
It has been about merch and licensing since empire. Think of all the books, games, toys, comics, etc. All there to make the actual money. Why do you think the prequels were release when they were? The kids that loved the original now had kids of their own and this was a way to grab the next batch of consumers.
Thank you Gameranx for not just taking Ubisoft Daddy money and being honest in your before you buys

“It’s impressive on a visual scale” as a bird clips through a building lol
I played the prologue last night, it took me about 90 minutes and I thought it was pretty average. A 6 out of 10, a 7 if you love Star Wars. My biggest gripe was that I had the game set at the highest difficulty and somewhere along the way I had to check if I actually did that because it was so easy, but it was indeed the hardest difficulty. I'm hoping the quality will pick up after the prologue. But if it stays at this 7 it is still a gorgeous game where I get to explore more of the Star Wars universe, which I love.
I also couldn't stop myself from thinking they made Kay ugly on purpose whenever she was in full view. I really wish I didn't know about that.

Just finished the game and it was great! Story is good and was long enough for me. Worlds are well made and game has a lot of content imo. Game physics are also great.
First game for a long time which gave me ”empty” feeling after I finished it.

I agree.
4:00 "Impressive on a visual scale" as a bird flies through a building
Experienced it a few minutes ago myself🤣🤣
Thanks for a well-articulated and actually honest/detailed review. Very helpful.
I just wish these games would let us make our own character. Pick one of the iconic races even with a handful of names that can be added into the dialogue. Game is not too bad. It has an "Andor" feel to it. We escape to places like Star Wars and the epic sagas because we want to get away from the doldrums, not embrace it in a game with a run down sci-fi patina with a snarky, bratty, girl.
Thanks for the continued fantastic work.
Hot take: I truly love Ubisoft's games. Especially AC. Can't wait to wait for a discount on this one though. I'm not dumb
AC Odyssey was an amazing game. Love it
I don't, but if you like it don't worry about what others think. I like a lot of Idea Factory's games, but most people look at me side eyed because of it.
I'm with you. Ubi makes really good mid priced games. If you pay full price you will be disappointed.
Which is a shame, some of them have some really cool ideas that they just don't quite land.
I played every AC at launch. Since AC1. big AC fan. Read all the books, comics, even played all the mobile games, PSP games, DS games, even the board game.
The new prince of persia was also so good the demo convinced me to buy it. Don't regret it. Also played wildlands and breakpoint. Those games are so much fun. Also played siege at launch for about 2 years. For honor is unique. Division is also still going strong but was too time consuming for me. Far cry primal was my favorite and I still love that game. Ubi makes some good games. People just hate cause it's the cool easy thing to do
You do you
5 years since I started watching. Love the videos! Still waiting for my pizza. 😂❤🍕
I'm at the point that I don't even want to pirate any ubisoft game
Me too, i wouldn't play it if they would give me money for it. My time is too precious.
@@alexh7513 while you take your precious time watching YT videos and not only reading, but making comments...Sooo precious. Time well spent bro
I am highly appreciative of your cinematic aspect ratio
The fact that Ubisoft made this game is almost surprising. It’s not like a HUGE “woah, this game is amazing!” But an Owen Wilson type of “wow, this is amazing”.
I literally read that WHow in owen wilsons voice lmaooo
I'm just gonna replay skyrim and sneak around there
I must be a simple gamer because I like Ubisoft games for the most part. I got some time today so I will be digging into this today.
..........Yeah, as a Destiny player for 10 years, that game feels really stale and I'm looking for something different, so I'll check this out.
There are plenty of Ubisoft games that are a good time. AC Odyssey, OC Origins, Far Cry 6. But they are mindless open world schlock. This game is TRYING to be more than that but it doesn't succeed, I think that's part of the big issue with it.
Same here. I find their recent games to be good "time-wasters" when I don't really have any other games to play or something else to do and they're on sale.
You can see that they try to do something new with each game but their execution generally falls flat so you just end up playing an average/good game.
All they had to do was make the main character a jedi and i would have been interested.
exactly my thoughts. is it a masterpiece? hell no. is it simple open world good time in a star wars universe? yes it is. nothing wrong with that. a game can be mediocre and fun at the same time. not every game is a masterpiece and dont have to be. sometimes i just want to turn my brain off and drive some speeder bikes and shoot some stormtroopers.
I'm a star wars fan will be adding this to my collection
Min 0:39. No lightsabers 😢
There have been great Star Wars games without lightsabers. Dark forces, bounty hunter, shadows of the empire. I’m not sold on this game though.
Crime and adventure! And no nude stuff. What is better than having to steal from weak people and having a hard time overall and again no nude stuff? Isn't that every man's dream living past 25?😅
@@Alienshadebro what are you yapping about
Not every Star Wars game has to have lightsabers to be good
This is a good thing.

Beat me to it 😂

More for me
always appreciate these vids Jake hope u an the team having a kickass day
thanks, you too!
We need Rockstar to make a mandalorian game. If they made a game called mandalorian, this is the way. It would be epic
That would be freaking amazing but unfortunately it’s off the table
Their first mistake when making an open world Star Wars game was not letting us create our own character
Agreed; I feel underrepresented in this game. As a snooty white middle aged male twat I want to see myself in the game!
I really love how Jake takes into account the subjectivity of opinions when it comes to a game’s quality. From this review, despite the fact that I know I wouldn’t enjoy this game, I’m able to see what people would enjoy. I’m glad there’s a reviewer who can ignore objectivity because with video games over any other medium, a player’s personal preference can completely change the quality of a game
Implying it's possible for a human to be 'objective' in a review. Spoiler: it isn't.
@@cenciende9401 in no way did I imply that
Ubisoft is the 'Disney' of video games.
No they aren't
EA is. Ubi at least puts out better games than EA and usually games that are more fun
Their love service games are still some of the longest running and supported. Even keep decent to good player numbers. Most their games are mid to good. None are outright terrible.
People hate Ubi cause it's the "cool" and thing to do. But mid isn't a bad thing. Still fun and a usually a good game to play in your spare time.
All these haters need to get over themselves
Well that is cruel lol
Ah yes, the company that tries to do more original things and anything new for that matter, compared to Elden Souls...
But hey, you all keep enjoying FromSoft just copying and pasting 80% of it's games and calling it a brand new groundbreaking IP, lol.
Appropriate since this is a Disney licensed game.
Literally rent free @@HIPsteHeero
Love your impartial reviews
Did they fix my biggest issue with the demo? : The protagonist had constant verbal diarrhea, in the same style as Forspoken. She constantly had to comment about whatever she was doing, whether it was in the middle of a firefight, or just jogging down a hallway. For some reason they felt it was essential for the character to not go more than 10 seconds without making some inane comment, because that's somehow "immersive", even though only people with tinfoil hats go around talking to themselves all the time.
The Aloy problem.
If they do it right it works.. Nathan Drake was always giving commentary, but it felt natural and the expression was on point with whatever scenario was current with the gameplay
@@ModestPavement Bro thats why I never played Horizon 2.. Aloy was so fu.... annoying
@robot-hive2022 keep avoiding it then lol. It's so much worse in the sequel.
Nathan Drake talks to himself
I guess I'll be playing revenge of the sith on ps2 tonight,maybe force unleashed.
Those are both great games.
Can we get a dustborn video lol
Yea I'm curious about that too
Lol it'll be painful video 💀
@@futurepastself2777please no☠️
A video talking about the Hero Shooter game Concord, its 1,300,000 concurrent players online and its 9,000,000 peak concurrent Concord players is next on this channels to do list.
That would be schadenfreude gold
Thanks for the ultra-wide video! Nice to full-screen it.
(And add me to the "fell out of love that this won't bring back" group you mentioned.)
Wait for the deepest of deep sales
13:35 A weird Hutt or weird hut?
I don't get the hate. I'm having a great time in this game, can't stop playing.
Just the usual sheep following the hate heard and can't think for themselves.
Glad you're enjoying the game.
i love this game too
"Star Wars" + "has its moments" = I still want it 😂
Kinda crazy how much better star wars battlefront looks and its almost 10 years old
Forever the goat
Loved that game. You can actually play as a jedi!
Ubislop back at it again 😌😌
People, STOP buying Ubisoft games. Things will not get better if we dont vote with our wallets
This comment deserves more likes because it's the truth
I like ubisoft games ac origins and oddysey were awesome and couldn't put star wars outlaws down earlier played 4 hours straight which for me is rare
No. I will continue to buy from anybody that puts out games I can play on my already over priced game console.
I was on the fence about buying this, for quite a while, but in the end took the risk and I'm really glad I did. I was 8 when the original 77 film came out, and although not a massive Star wars geek, have enjoyed the films and TV series. Sure there are some things about the game that seem a bit dumb - the not being able to pick up and keep weapons for example. But...there is loads to do and explore and its very immersive, you really feel part of the world. The spaceship stuff is a massive improvement on Starfield (too many loading screens) and the puzzle element is cool - finding the right stealth route through a space station without getting caught, the mini parkour sections. -if you do get caught, there are plenty of checkpoints, so its never too frustrating. There is a huge amount to explore here, the sound and visuals are great (the close ups of some characters are a bit basic, but not. deal breaker). Compared to recent Ubisoft games (Valhalla and Mirage) this is really good stuff - i'd say for anyone who enjoyed Borderlands or maybe Cyberpunk, take a risk with this, sure there are some parts of the game that could be improved, and maybe they will patch them, but it's top quality fun and pure escapism, highly recommended here :)
I like how he said it’s mid but said most things about it were good
No he said most things were mid but the story was poor
Literally everyone saying the story is dumpster fire
Him saying the gameplay is alright doesn't mean it's good.
Patiently waiting for 3rd Jedi: Cal Kestis game.
Or next KOTOR...
It sure looks beautiful. I love the speeder bike sections, with the wildlife and planetary terrain.
😂
@@seagrey75 Cry more.

What's with the replies? I stand by my comment, peeps. Speeder bikes are cool.
Looking forward to playing but definitely waiting for a sale. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work.
Jake I know there are lots of comments and you probably won’t see this, but I wonder if you guys ever get burned out from playing games? Like sometimes I can’t play even my favorite games and appreciate them let alone try new ones.
you are not alone 🫡
literally every game i play lol i think im just getting old
@1:00 With this game you'll get flack simply for not hating it 😂
1:02 every ubisoft game
Perfect😂😂😂
Good but not great is still better than terrible
I completely forgot that this existed tbh. And it's releasing soon.
"I'm gonna catch some flak for this, but I think it's just ok" I think you're alright man, it's an ubisoft game. We all knew exactly what it was gonna a be from the 1st gameplay trailer. All the same I'm really looking forward to picking up the compete edition on sale. It's probably like 18 months max.
It's okay to think games are just okay. I wish people would know that, it's not like gamerant is dissing them.
@Xaveston for sure, it would also be nice if we could recognize there a lot of games that are a 6 or 7 out of 10 that are totally legitimate and fun. I wish there were still more nuance to game reviews, if it's not an 8.5 or above a game is deemed some kind of untouchable garbage fire.
What a dumb comment. Unless you're a time traveller you didn't know anything. You couldn't make it more obvious that you don't play anything from Ubisoft if you tried. Far Cry (before 6 which was disappointing) Assassin's Creed Origins/Odyssey etc, Avatar game was good too, that's just the recent stuff. Not to mention their willingness to experiment and try new things in main entries and especially spin-off games within a series. Far more so than most publishers who just play it safe. Grow up and get a clue.
@cenciende9401 name anything remotely "experimental" Ubisoft has done beyond Rabbids v. Mario. Bloated open world games are their thing. If you have fun checking off 500 POIs on a world map, more power to you. If you have fun with them, that's great, really. I'm not telling anyone they're wrong for enjoying them, I just know what to expect, and nothing they've done recently changed my mind. You don't need to take criticism of something you like as a personal attack. Heck, I even said I was interested in playing this flavor of Ubi's open world, I'm just not expecting any surprises, that's ok.
If you want to break it down, though (these are my opinions, not objective facts) Valhalla was a mess of genres that was the furthest departure from the original semi-steath based games (why does AC game need Diablo style stat tweaking on gear?). Watch Dogs 2 admittedly tried something novel, but roguelite characters in an open world narrative game aren't compelling. Ghost Recon's open world forays are also the same: huge world without too many interesting things to do with tacked on and pointless RPG mechanics. I honedty can't comment on Farcry, FPS games just aren't my thing, so same goes for Xdefiant and Seige.
Isn't it made by massive entertainment and just being released under the ubisoft banner?
Hence why it is spared the usual cliche ubisoft elements like... check list quests, tower climbing, etc...?
Thanks for the not fully negative review, the fandom is quite toxic at the moment but I'm happy to find someone who actually has good things to say about the game rather than just hate on it. I'll most definitely buy it because walking around and taking in the surroundings sounds like a childhood dream
Nice to see a fair review for this game for a change. It's why I appreciate your channel
Yeah, at least it's not one of those right-wing grift channels.
I think this game rocks, but I like the kinda lower stakes chill moments. I've always just wanted to feel what it's like to live in the star wars universe.
Not fighting shit 24/7
I think it's really good, I really enjoy it still playing it now.
so tired of pc starwars bs, i want a dark and gritty starwars game with real freedom
I don't know why modern games are allergic to character creation. I want my Han Solo simulator not to be some generic lady with a bad 70s haircut.
In isolation you’re right, but the bias is clear when people weren’t complaining about the lack of character creation in the fallen order series
But if you could create your own character you might not make one that resembles your real life appearance, and that would be intolerable bigotry and lack of representation of yourself, you monster.
@@ryanneale6501but they did, woman tried to cancel the game for having a white red-haired protagonist but it doesn’t matter because female Star Wars fans always wanna act like they haven’t been in literally every Star Wars product ever
It's a girl boss simulator
@@ethanhernandez9889 you're just making stuff up. what "woman" have you seen trying to cancel the game
