Datto Reviews Outriders - Is It Worth 60 Dollars?

After dumping almost 50 hours into Outriders and getting the question "is this worth 60 dollars," about 1000 times, today, we'll chat about my experiences with Outriders over the first 10 days of the game being out. While I could've spoken more about the game, I really did not want this video reaching into the 30 or 40 minute mark, that's Skill-Up's territory (who also has a review).

If you're just looking for a quick thing: I would recommend Outriders to those looking for a looter experience that can be enjoyed in a short amount of time compared to others. However, if you haven't dove in yet, I'd maybe wait until the bugs and issues are ironed out first as people with low tolerance for issues like this in their games. I don't think Outriders revolutionizes the looter shooter, but I do think in the spots that matter, they did a pretty good job. Not a perfect job, it's not a flawless game, but I would absolutely not consider this a flop. This game is in a better spot than something like Anthem ever was and Anthem was supposed to be a live service game. Now I think it's up to People Can Fly to really fix up the game, make it stable and ensure that build variety is much better going into the future. If that doesn't happen though, I wouldn't have considered my money a waste as I enjoyed what I played, even with all of the issues.

“datto, is outriders worth it?”
datto: “please get out of my house.”

I always love your takes on game reviews. They are always rational and ask the consumer question about what they want and gives examples to try to see if it's a good purchase decision. You're the best reviewer I have watched and you barely do reviews. Hats off to you.

“But Datto! Im asking you should I buy this but you’re telling me I should form my own opinions! I couldn’t possibly do that! You’re the smart youtube man, tell me how I should feel about this game I haven’t played!!!”

I didn't know this wasn't a live service game when I was playing it, and that actually disappointed me. It had the potential to be an interesting franchise. Now I feel like there's no point in getting max gear or stuff like that.

It reminds me of Dragon Age: Inquisition, where I really enjoyed the game, had multiple playthroughs, tried different builds.
But then that was it, worth the money, on to the next game.

My basic English - People Can Fly (polish developer) Datto "Game needs polish" - me - what? Aaaa right...this polish.

The “Is It Worth It” part rang like a NakeyJakey video for a bit, and I’m here for it

[Hautest]

I love that outriders is just a game. I played it at first, took a break from it because of the server issues and soon will continue and I didn’t miss out at all. There’s no global progress, I can play the game on my own merit :)

[zacharybecker]

im so happy its not a live service its refreshing to have all the content in the game i buy and not a ton of mtx crammed into it

[lokky]

The console has an issue with some guns haveing more recoil then sensitivity. Had a few LMG and SMGs that still recoil up with full down stick

[MapleYum]

I bought it. No regrets. Lots of fun and thankfulky it’s following in Diablo’s footsteps. Hopefully the endgame gets tuned a bit to make it a little more solo friendly.

[CaptVooDooGaming]

Gears of Destiny, Loading Simulator: The Game lol but I still enjoy the game.

I love the game, level 22 and no legendary yet but I’ve only had crash issues so I’ll count my blessings and keep playing and hopefully soon I’ll get one. I definitely like the game and purchased it because of the dev interaction and how they’re fixing it and also the demo when they didn’t have to so yeah salute to People Can Fly

[DumaVadamee]

"The crashes have subsided a bit-"

Me, on my 5th run of end game pod missions because the game keeps crashing: "I'll have to argue strongly with that take, my friend."

[ edit: Wow this post blew up a lot thx guys :) ]
