The only thing that hit me harder than the opening scene being real & not a fan animation is hearing that the game comes out in about a month. Why have I not seen any ads or videos pop up for this game when I'm constantly watching Star Wars videos? O_o
This is the most refreshing take on Outlaws I’ve seen so far. Everything you mentioned falls right in line with my own opinions. Ubisoft games are indeed the “popcorn movies” of the game industry, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Watch Dogs 2 is one of my favorite Ubisoft titles and Outlaws seems very similar to it in terms of the gameplay.
I think setting another piece of star wars media on Tatooine is exhausting but that's my only complaint based on what you covered in the video. I'm definitely going to play this game
The latest gameplay trailer has to be a earlier build, no way that is Gold standard. The one thing I am confused about, is why release a trailer that looks like an older build than the other trailers they released? The gameplay trailer at Ubisoft Next looked 100x more polished and closer to Gold standard!
Great video. I'm so tired of people putting this game down. This game looks fun and I am excited to be a part of the Star Wars Universe. Thank You for your video.
This video is very well made. I personally am excited for Outlaws. And I was getting sick of all the "UBISLOP! UBISOFT BAD" comments everywhere. I saw your video on the home screen, started watching, and just groaned when I saw the explosion clip from IGN. But, you surprised me with a very reasonable take.
Once upon a time in a galaxy far far away, games were made with love. They were an art form. This brought money into the industry, money brought investors, investors brought passionless ceos, ceos brought market research, eventually Ubisoft was born. They deserved to be hated. That being said they seem to be taking risks which is unusual but a good sign. Even Vader came around and turned into a blue guy, maybe Ubisoft wants to take off their life support mask and become blue man too? Maybe Luke skywalkers Ewok buddies can talk to blue Ubisoft man? Blue man good like blue laser sword
I haven't watched the gameplay video before and the intro cutscene made me go check if it's real or not it's so bad. I'm sure it'll be fixed on release it's just funny they even showed that. I watched the rest of it right after and so far the game doesn't seem that bad honestly. My expectation for it is similar to yours where I just hope it's gonna be a fun time and make me feel like I got something decent for my money, Imma just wait for it to be on steam and go on sale so I'm gonna have to wait a bit longer. I really want the game to not suck but I've mostly had bad experiences with Ubisoft games so ultimately I'll keep my expectations low. Also as much as I would love to look forward to the SW Bounty Hunter rerelease because I have never played that game before, I saw it is being made by Aspyr who released the terrible BF Classic Collection. I'm all for giving people and companies a second chance cuz I believe everyone should have the chance to improve, but they apparently used community made mods without asking and upscaled textures with AI without further effort which led to the game being 50gb or something so my hopes are low
My pre-TlJ-Me Had wet dreams about a game like this. I really want to Like this game and really Hope, that you are right. And that the Mission, shown in the Trailer was an exception for feeling so irrelevant, and the character beeing so Not-knowing anything about Star Wars and... I really hope, that you are right.
I’m just going to do the thing everytime Ubisoft releases a game. I’ll wait 3 months and just pirate the game. I’m not gonna pay for a game i won’t own, so yeah piracy is the way to go. I’m very apathatic for this release and star wars overall these days. I’m probably still gonna enjoy the game because unpopular opinion, i don’t rlly mind the Ubisoft open world template. Hope it’ll be better though but it will probably still be mid
I get your point, but it hurts the gaming industry. They are trying to normalize mediocre games, and right now, you support that. It used to work like every game was aiming at being 10/10. But you seem to acknowledge that they only aim to make it profitable enough. That is where games stop being creative and interesting and become a checklist and work, no fun. Because of this reason, I cannot accept your point of view. And everyone is so angry and pissed about this game because it is exactly as you describe it. A mediocre Ubisoft shill, not an aim at delivering a milestone Star Wars experience. But. I guess we have to take what's available, and hence why I will be playing this game too. But... Certainly not day 1 for full price, that is! I'll wait until it's at least 40% off, because that is what it's worth at best, as long as there are other games to be played until that happens. That being said, I totally agree with some of your points. Like the empty map one. You truly can't make Tatooine otherwise. It's supposed to be empty, it wouldn't be Tatooine otherweise! Just like you noted. But they still have done an immense job, they are trying to make it look empty enough to deliver the vibe of it, while not making it too empty to be annoying for the complaining guys, who want and need constant action and happening. And if they were to deliver another map full of stuff to do, I'd probably hate it. I really don't need more work while gaming! I started gaming with GTA IV. Open World games used to be what I knew as the only normal game, and I couldn't have it any other way. But... Nowadays when I hear open world I am terrified, especially if it is by Ubisoft!
I take your meaning and agree to an extent, but Ubisoft was until recently the most valuable video game company in Europe. Activision became one of the giants of the industry largely by putting out another slop COD game every year. Clearly this is already normalized. The time for this sentiment was 2014, I think now it's too late.
Thats is interesting how you know the worth of the entire game without playing it and seeing very little. Because of this reason, I cannot accept your point of view.
Truthfully the only non mediocre games are console exclusives or if they are made by rockstar. The mainstream gaming devs just don't have that zen from the 2000s to 2010s anymore. We had a good run of outstanding games every year, but the last 5 years have been pretty disappointing. Only a handful of games have stood out from the rest.
01:46 more likely they had some invincibility mode turned on. Otherwise braindead AI is a given for Ubisoft games. My hopes were never high for this, might pick up the "completest" edition when it eventually drops on Steam in a few years.
Funnily enough, this game was made by Ubisoft Massive, developers of The Division 1/2, which had pretty good AI all around, slightly above industry level. Probably due to higher TTK (time to kill) and more time to react

Wow... a thoughtful, measured, independent thinking (non-tabloid) game commentator.... subscribed.
I do my best.

That KOTOR music slaps hard

Star wars need to stop adding cute pets....
No.
Based solely on the bit of gameplay shown in this video; it looks pretty meh, but it's probably going to be enjoyable regardless
Good video and way to think for yourself. I think the game will be good as well and great for Star Wars Fans.

Very good points! Most people nowadays are illiterate clowns who just want to find a next big thing to hate. It’s a mass of malformed opinions
good video
Glad you enjoyed

Glad to see you back! Great analysis as usual.
this guy is spitting
Finally back 🥳
Meh. Might pick this up in a couple of months when its 80% off.
01:46 more likely they had some invincibility mode turned on.
Otherwise braindead AI is a given for Ubisoft games.
