So I Finished Star Wars Outlaws...

I spent the past week playing Star Wars Outlaws to 100% the main quest, as well as sample the sidequests and exploration it has on offer, and I have some thoughts that probably don't match the popular narrative.

I see the hoverbike gliding over the landscape and I just keep expecting it to hit a rock and explode at any given moment and then I have to wake up in the hospital and ... oh wait wrong game.

Sounds like a good game to buy in a few years when it's cheap.

The problem with Ubisoft, and all big publisher games, is that their executives can afford to buy talent working for them but then turn all their work into brown post digested slop through focus groups, spreadsheet management and souless margin hunting above all else. Margin they dont share with the talent.
So sorry Ubisoft talent... You have to lose those executive hacks if you want your work to shine.

Even calling them Airplane flight mechanics does an insanely massive disservice to airplanes everywhere.

The Empire in current Star Wars is a little too Sidious and not enough Palpatine.

[OldManGamin_OMG]

Its mid bro. Point blank period. It aint great, it aint terrible but it damn sure aint worth 70 bucks.

[Sgt_Hest]

Only reason I'm not buying is because of Ubisoft! I'm done supporting all their BS

[davidmorton]

I don't support anything EA or Disney so.... until the companies can change my mind, I don't care

I've said it before, but I'd buy it on PC if they were selling it on PC. They have absolutely no excuse for having this be a server-authorized download-only game. I'm sick of this specific anti-consumer stunt.

I'm more concerned with the Uplay always online restrictions that have removed nearly all of my interest in ubisoft games for the past decade.

[CellDE]

it gives good vibes actually, i hope they will further patch and create additions.

[Slokeyz]

Game visually looks amazing, but gameplay is what carries a game, and the combat and stealth look absolutely terrible. Hard pass.

Been playing non-stop since the 27th, haven't gotten close to finishing the main story as i've been doing every side quest i come across.
The graphics are beautiful
The atmosphere of locations are spot on
The gameplay (whilst i've only experienced a couple of bugs, no biggie as EVERY game has them) emphasises stealth but most games do anyway and it's kinda more fun than just holding LMB to blast everything all the time
The reputation system is very well done to the point where i've reloaded saves to see what the gain/loss is like and changed my option more than a couple of times
The side quests are just as well done as the main story
The easter eggs you come across put a smile on my face everytime

I downloaded the game with low expectations and hadn't seen any media on it aside from the reveal trailer and i think that's how people show go into a game, not just Outlaws.
I'd like a few more named characters to be male where it makes sense, having a majority of the people you connect with be female kind of pulled me out of the interactions but it's something i've moved past and realised it honestly doesn't matter.
Not sure what this "Ubisoft buggered up early access saves with the day 1 patch" is all about, it's likely a PICNIC thing :D (IT term, search it up if you don't know...)
I'll be keeping my eye on any expansions and/or follow up entries because it's a good non-lightsabre focused game.
Great review Morph, stellar content as always!<3

I saw someone post some stealth gameplay that really allowed you to see the takedown animations. They are bloody terrible.

[theCabsAreHere]

Morph! You nailed it as always man, THIS is what we meant when we said SC may have been holding you back a bit. You’re an expert in your field; masterclass editing and that ever-enticing voiceover of yours is truly one of a kind. Well done my friend!

[Electrocus]

The voice actress is very beautiful! Why the hell did they not use her likeness?

[AnEmortalKid]

Thank you morph for being honest and the disclaimer. Sounds like a “get it one sale” kinda game

[nerdfantasyfreak]

Honestly the lack of customization is what did it in for me. theres a couple upgrades here and there and some skins but thats it. To me for a open world game thats disappointing for me. I would of loved to have some options for personalization. even having different weapons to choose from and more than just that same speeder bike. Also, I'd like to throw in the fact you cant really interact with the world around you was probably the worst part. Its 2024 and i really want to see game developers go the extra step beyond what is necessary, Especially when they're charging 100 dollars here for just the base game. The little things are what matters.

[babykosh]

Well, that thumbnail was misleading lol. Nice to hear you had a good time with it.

[ATigerShark]

I still want a Star Wars pod racing game that sort of like Redline
