Star Wars Outlaws

I think Tapsell's one of the best reviewers EG has, and up there with the best game reviewers period - even when I disagree with his overall assessment of a game (e.g. Ghost of Tsushima), I appreciate the way in which he approaches his analysis.

I don't think that's entirely fair. I think the Respawn Jedi are remembered fondly, and the 3rd is expected to deliver by virtue of the first two pulling it off.
Ubi, despite yearly re-use and over-saturation, make some really good core experiences. The Division, Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, Ghost Recon - all utilise the same basic framework and all have more than one fondly remembered, fundamentally very good title within the respective franchises. Phoenix Rising was also very cool. No reason to think that they couldn't do the same thing with the Star Wars license.

Spider-man is only a stone's throw away from any of these, design-wise. It's just executed better.

Ultimately, it's only one or two reviews that we're talking about. The majority of them have received the game a bit better, but it's a shame that it's not overall better than it has turned out. I certainly won't be paying for early access to it, but I'll definitely play it (but I do mostly enjoy the Ubi formula, every now and again, as quite a relaxing way to just sit back and lose myself for a bit).

Seems like it's settling on 70%, so it's gone from day 1 to something I'll get further down the line, might be a fun Christmas game to while away the dark winter hours.

Still on my radar, just don't have to send the x-wings out to intercept right away 😅

Derblington Yeah, perhaps I was being a bit dramatic. I’m just amazed folk are still getting upset about a critical opinion of a game they’ve not yet played. That and the idea that some folk believe in some kind of ‘correct’ hive-mind opinion of art is particularly bewildering.

I just watched the IGN review. 7/10, obviously, but it looks really shot and the reviewer couldn’t have been less enthusiastic about it

Someone let me know when the Epic exclusive deal ends and it comes to Steam in a few years, if ever, in a complete edition form, and goes in a sale.

Annoyingly I didn't remember about moving to New Zealand until about 10pm so I've only played through the prologue. It seems OK so far. I'm not digging Jan Solo so far. Nothing against playing a female protagonist - I'm on team Kassandra and FemShep, but a choice would have been nice.

I watched this review last night, and it left me feeling optimistic about it. It's a 7/10 but the reviewer seemed to really buy in to the whole Star Wars scoundrel vibes and got a lot more from it.

Aye, I keep saying I'll sub to U+ for a month or two to play some of the games I've missed, then realise I just can't be arsed. Have a feeling this will get added to the pile.

Makes more sense to just buy the recent PoP outright, as that seems to be the only interesting thing they've done in years.

That one nearly made me hurl into a galaxy far, far away. I hate those motion simulators, they make me feel sick to my stomach. It’s why I was so pleased RotR is mostly practical.

Maybe this is the way to go, re cancelling is it easy, or are you expected to jump through hoops to end your sub ?

@zissou, only 100! class mate

If you speak French 

Must be cancelled during a full moon only.
