I knew it was bad but this is hilariously bad.
My favorite thing about this is that Ubisoft has single handedly made AAAA synonymous with awful.
My first thought with this video was “this looks like some trash Ubisoft would put out.”
I guess I was right.
“AAAA” is the sound you make after realizing what you did with your money.
In a couple of years we will have “AAAAAAHHHHH WHY WHY OH MY GOD WHY AM I DOING THIS TO MYSELF”-games.
With any luck they’ll single handedly keep “AAAA” from catching on, because nobody with a shred of pride would want their multi-million dollar project connected to anything that was said to be AAAA.
I think I laughed most when they said Far Cry 6 was a AAAA game. You can’t just call things AAAA because you can’t manage budgets.
I’ve never played a modern game before that loses first the voice audio and finally the gunshot sounds after a few hours and has to be reloaded.
I think the only game I can call AAAA with a straight face is Red Dead Redemption 2.
Yet there are people on this thread claiming this is what triple/quadruple A gaming is and we should shut up, bend over and pay USD 60 for an unfinished product. I think I have a bridge to sell to them :D
ummmmm that’s cute but Super Mario World is a tretrigintuple-A game
That’s 33 As and go fuck yourself if you can figure out the word better:
I don’t understand what people were expecting this is an Ubisoft game, they are always mediocre trash.
It’s either mediocre or trash, one is on the bottom and the other is at the middle.
I’ve had no excitement for this game since Ubisoft is such a disappointment of mediocrity. I grew bitter to them back when they announced the controversial shutting down of their legacy activation servers: this would prevent gamers from passing the online checks to play their games. Suddenly, despite me possessing a physical disc of Splinter Cell Blacklist on Wii U, I learned I would lose access to the DLC I paid for and “owned”. Certain missions would also become unplayable since you need online co-op. Ubisoft backpedaled after significant backlash from gamers, but since then I hesitate whenever I see them attached to any project.
I miss old Ubisoft. I’m playing Beyond Good & Evil 2003 on my GameCube for the first time, and this game is spectacular! Wish Ubisoft didn’t become evil, but it was inevitable.
are we really taking the “AAAA” seriously? why?
it takes really tiny batteries
Because they’ve used it as an excuse to whack an extra $10 to the price.
I think some backlash is to be expected.
are people still expecting ubisoft to put out good games or what?
I can’t even remember the last time I saw an open world game where thr main character instantly drowns in water.
Elden ring comes to mind.
That’s because, considering the bosses you have to fight, every character is weighted down by their enormous balls.
Why putting in a feature that the game doesn’t need?
That’s said, the way this game handles it is horrible. At least have the protagonist walk back when near the deep water or something
I mean… all these glitches really seem tame compared to skyrim on launch. Talk about a dumpster fire but it’s one of the best selling games of the century.
I guarantee this game is nothing like that. It will be forgotten immediately.
Yeah, this Ubislop will be forgotten, we will poke fun at its glitches. Then forget they even made this game with Star Wars window dressing. If they had tried to capture people’s imaginations (but fell just short enough like Skyrim) we’d probably be talking about this game for years to come. Star Wars: Outlaws is just an overhyped cash grab.
Skyrim is kinda shit too.
Do you like down votes? Because this is how you get down votes.
Todd Howard will find you if this slander keeps up.
I’m not defending Ubisoft games, but I don’t get why people have such high expectations of them. I don’t recall the last Ubisoft game I played, but they seem like chill podcast games to me, I just turn my brain off and just take in the scenery.
They really are milking Star Wars for all it’s worth.
was this the team that made biomutant?
That’s an insult to biomutant, it’s the team that made The Division.
And yet somehow I’m managing to enjoy it.
Lol people in this sub shitting on others for enjoying a game that they hate. Must be hard to comprehend the fact that tastes can differ.
It’s been a genuinely enjoyable game for me so far. Of course not without minor issues, but it does not even remotely deserve the hate it gets.
They’re being quite disgusting about it, too.
I experienced one lockup, noticed one takedown animation glitch, and found one rare interaction bug where a container stays in the closed/interactive state after being emptied. Not bad at all for 25 hours into a game at launch.
I had a lot of crashes back at launch, but after trying out a lot of things I think it eventually came down to my GPU being undervolted, didn’t have a single crash since. The undervolt worked fine with Wukong, but that game isn’t even remotely the same scale as Outlaws.
Been at it for about 23 hours, I think ‘worst’ in-game bug I had was Kay’s hands acting weird on a speeder once, like she was grabbing the air.
People can even BOTH enjoy stuff AND make fun of or complain about its failings.
It’s nothing to do with the quality of the game. It’s to do with obscene pricing, a shitty experience, and a general enshittification of the gaming experience that people are financially supporting.
You’re quite literally contradicting yourself. Saying that it’s nothing to do with the game, then proceed to claim people complaing because it’s a shitty experience.
Prices have been rising in the gaming industry all together, you can’t blame Ubisoft alone for this. And the experience has been fun to me, as well as others.
Tastes differ.
You’re quite literally contradicting yourself.
No? I’m quite literally not. Put BG3 in a dedicated buggy-ass launcher, slap some DRM on it, some bullshit kernel-level anti-cheat, fill it with bugs and sell it for $70 and people will complain about it, too, even though it’s a really good game.
you can’t blame Ubisoft alone for this
I’m not and I don’t. Don’t know where you got that idea.
Tastes differ.
This has nothing to do with “taste”. It has to do with anti-consumer shitfuckery.
It’s ridiculous. Doesn’t seem like game discussion happens on Lemmy anymore. All posts just seem to be geared towards shitting on whatever the hated game of the month is. It was Starfield now outlaws.
Look the game has decent reviews and most people are obviously enjoying it. Except the cynical folks on Lemmy, they got it all figured out. Bet most these people hating haven’t played it.
Coprophilia is more common than we think.
Lol. Just learned a new word. Thanks. Coprophilia - intense interest and pleasure in feces and defecation, especially as a source of sexual arousal.
Same. It took me a bit to get the settings how Iiked them and figure out the gameplay loop. But now I think it is similar to Red Dead 2 or a Ghost Recon game. And it’s set on gorgeous Star Wars maps.
It’s okay but you’re going a little far comparing it to RDR2.
People call RDR2 a masterpiece and yes it’s very beautiful and very detailed. But the gameplay systems and controls don’t really feel quite right to me, and I feel the same the same way about Star Wars Outlaws. Plus to me the games just feel similar when you’re wandering around big wide open areas.
Not a surprising comparisong though, It certainly borrows a lot of elements from Red Dead. But it’s also mixed with some Assassins’s Creed, Division and even Witcher elements.
They also took inspiration from Adventure for the Atari VCS.
You’re right, it’s way less boring than a Rockstar game lol
Some people enjoy being pissed on; we’re not kink shaming, mate.
People enjoy bad things all the time. Think heroin or junkfood.
Helmet hair rebel…
Wth is the point of stormtrooper armor. Has it ever done anything?
Look, everyone has their own style of wearfare. Some people show up in full battle rattle with mirror finished armor. Others show up to look good.
I read somewhere that the armor distributes blaster bolt shock through it so all the Stormtroopers get knocked unconscious. They don’t die, otherwise they may as well not wear it at all as they fall over after one blaster bolt.
But as with everything in Star Wars lore, that’s probably a desperate retcon.
It also removes any sense or individuality. Contrasted with clones who frequently customised their armour.
You can see every moment a senior dev went to management and asked for time or money to develop a certain type of interaction and were told no every single time.
