Star Wars Outlaws

Let me guess, girl boss joins up with perfectly balanced cast of minorities to overthrow evil white man....again. Maybe it's just me but this looks like DEI slop for NPCs but regardless of that, look at the price! If you don't pay 200 or subscribe to their service that will shell you for 100+ then they cut parts of the game out because 70 just isn't good enough. I think they do this to get paying customers to pay for subscribers that can't afford to buy a game in order to inflate user statistics for their shareholder farming operation. Ironic that they used an IP from George Lucas since they can't come up with their own ideas to garner attention. Talentless copy paste slop from UBI that won't even capitalize on the IP with the force or light saber battles. Probably more tower climbing and dumb dumb shooter action ect. Looking forward to seeing the microtransactions that will no doubt be added to the game after launch. I'm calling this now, it will fail hard. Even if it didn't require an always online connection for the overpriced physical copy of a single player game or shaft the online games platform that most gamers prefer.

If you beat the game in a month then you will own the two DLC packs that will require that you subscribe another 2 months to play. If you buy the 70 dollar version then you don't get the DLC so you need to shell out over 100 and they cut already completed content from the game that is only available for 100. This is a company with a bunch of DEI hires that hate gamers and takes all of the funding they can from the industry to troll them with. They will continue to do it as long as npcs continue to fall for these scams. Also, just to turn the screws a little more, the actress that did the mocap and the voice acting for the main character is good looking. They modeled the character after her and had to go out of their way to ugly her up for the game. If girls get jealous of imaginary characters because they are pretty then they need mental help and the industry should not cater to them. No sane person wants to pretend to be a character that is more ugly than they are in the real world. WTF

Guys, you don't need to buy the fancy editions, a 3 day headstart is not worth $30-60, even if you get the season pass.
It's all cosmetics n crap with a slightly early access. The whole seasons pass thing for a single player game... Is just pre-order bs to get day one.

If I was buying this game, and I'm unlikely to till it's at least discounted, I'd buy the regular edition. If I then loved it... Only then would I even consider buying any extra content at all.
 
Regular edition is usually the best way. It's pretty scummy practice to release games earlier if you spend more money, but they know that some people will want it earlier to brag etc.
 
Let the muppets who buy the pre-order deluxe version with added soundtrack or blue shoes it comes with Alpha test it, have the normal standard version purchasers Beta test it and review it, then in 3 months time buy it on a reputable discount code site and enjoy it with no regret.

Simples.
 
Playing this now, it's ... okayish. Graphics okay, world is 2x too big but okay, combat is pretty meh, city is a confusing mess and too big given you have to run around to get quests inside it. Fast travel doesn't even seem to work properly (just says "locked" or some nonsense).

The AI breaks frequently and is stupid often. The quest design is mixed quality.

Allying with factions seems like it would be the "cool" feature but I haven't done a heap of faction quests so haven't seen enough to judge.

One quest had me meeting some guy in faction territory, but it was in the "instant hostile" part of faction territory, even though I was on good terms with the faction. So I go meet this guy and while I'm talking to him a patrol comes around and opens fire on me in conversation. Why would they put a quest dude in the instant hostile part?Do they expect you to kill a faction you're on good terms with? Why not put him somewhere away from patrols? This kind of mission design really defies logic to me.
 
Finished it, thought it was pretty good. 7-7.5/10. Stealth and action aren't the best but they're okay. I liked the faction reputation system and the setting is awesome / authentic. Just cruising around Tatooine is great. Story was fine and I like the criminal focus. Sabacc is fun. Couple of other minor gripes here and there but I liked this more than Fallen Order, but not quite as much as Survivor. Would like to see a sequel for this, they could expand lots of mechanics.
