TheLeon Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I’m about 10 hours in. It’s just good enough to keep me playing, but at the same time, it’s reminding me why I don’t play many open world games like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 The more I play the game the more I do not care for the way the faction system is handled in the game. I get what they are trying to do, but it is so illogically implemented that it takes me out of any immersion in top of feeling like there’s no such thing as a smart or wise decision. You’re always punished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but this wasn’t a faux think piece about why something sucks. It was just plain gameplay. So I’m wondering how often it plays like this.

Spork3245 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 People are being overly critical of this game in the weirdest ways. There are certainly valid criticisms but the shit people are harping on is mind boggling to the point where I almost wonder if it was originally parody. It’s a solid 8/10-8.5/10 game. Getting in on that big Ubi+ sub deal the other month was definitely the right choice as I’m glad I didn’t pay $70 for this game, but if you can get it for $40-45ish or less, I’d go for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I’ve seen some videos on the AI and some seem very cherry picked. The AI is a bit slow to respond and get aggressive, but once they do they light me up. I feel like giving you a second or two to react before the AI is a design decision so you can have that “Han shot first” kind of moment if caught. Further assisted by a skill that makes the character look a bit more like a wise cracking rogue. that person in the video seems quite upgraded. As AI can hear you moving behind them unless you are crouched without a skill upgrade. So again, misleading in an attempt to make the game look worse than is. Dishonest. Maybe the grass being a place you can be hidden is some weird engine quirk. I almost think the assassin’s creed engine would be a better fit for this type of game than the Division engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have run into some dumb shit, like I was sneaking through an Imperial base and I got caught. I’m fighting my way through it, an alarm goes off, “MANHUNT” or whatever flashes in big bold letters across the screen, and then 5 seconds later everything resets for no apparent reason and the entire base is oblivious to me again. For a second I thought I had killed everyone, but there were still a dozen stormtroopers right there. I’ve also had a couple examples of your more typical open world jank, but the kind of things that make me laugh, not go “omg this game sux!!!” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 i’ve been slowly playing this game. just a quick question. on the first open planet, is there some stuff i just can’t do because my character is too weak? i got a faction quest in that bar to go fuck up this place and it was a bitch and a half to try and do so i just left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexterryu Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Been on the fence with this game and was thinking about subbing to Ubisoft Plus to try it (plus a couple of other games). Now that the dust has settled what are everyones thoughts? The last few open world Ubi games have started off fun for me and then I quickly lost interest and was just waiting for them to end (FC6, Valhalla, Avatar)... with the one exception being Immortals. Will this end up the same where I just don't care and am doing repeated tasks and getting bored with a map full of mostly hollow activities? What are thoughts/recommendations? Thanks!

With most Ubi openworld games it's best to stick to the main missions UNLESS it's to upgrade a weapon/pouch/whatever or an ability as they do tend to be nonsense and burn you out. That being said, IMO, this is about a 8/10 game or so, I wouldn't pay full price and am glad I got in on the Ubi+ deal where a year was only $120-140 or something. If I were to actually buy this game, I think $40-ish or less is the best value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted September 13 Author Share Posted September 13 I'm only a few hours in, and I don't understand the hate it gets from some areas of the internet. If you don't like stealth games, you won't like this. If you don't like Ubi style games, you won't like this. But, it's good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted Wednesday at 07:57 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:57 PM Star Wars Outlaws sales were 'softer than expected,' so Ubisoft is slamming the release-it-on-Steam button early | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Ubisoft's open world Star Wars game will come to Steam in November. Quote Ubisoft says that its decision to delay Assassin's Creed Shadows to next year was motivated by "softer than expected" sales of its last big open world game, Star Wars Outlaws. "While [Assassin's Creed Shadows] is feature complete, the learnings from the Star Wars Outlaws release led us to provide additional time to further polish the title," Ubisoft told investors today. The company also announced that Outlaws will come to Steam on November 21, and indicated that it's no longer going to do timed Epic exclusives on PC, a deal it has maintained with the Fortnite developer since 2019. When Assassin's Creed Shadows releases in February, it'll be on Steam on day one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted Wednesday at 08:03 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:03 PM lol well I am sure people will pick it up on Steam once it is one a deep discount.
