Topic: Star Wars Outlaws (30-8-2024)

I should have spent more time with the drone

What a pile of steaming **** this game is i tried to like it but its just awful, i thought the stealth part of the game was quite cool at first but it soon tires as does going round air ducts (or whatever you call them) to avoid capture also grinds after a while i will be trading this in at CEX this weekend for something else.

@Max_Headroom bummed for you dude, I remember how excited you were for it. I’m still pretty keen on picking a copy up… don’t wanna pay more than £30 though tbh

Not criticizing people who don't like it, but there have been people here that have been the opposite and have highly enjoyed it, including me. Yes, there are/were issues, but I still find it pretty entertaining.

@colonelkilgore I don't blame you though you may have to wait a while for them to drop that low.

Its the same with all games, my favourite game of recent times is spider man 2 many loved it but it got a slating from some the old saying "You can never please all the people all of the time" fits here.

@Max_Headroom I’m in no rush mate, I’ve spent the vast majority of 2024 playing PS3 games… and I’m scheduled up to 2028 with my PS4 & PS5 backlog (all subject to change of course).

@colonelkilgore
pfft, the PS6 will be out in 2027 and then you will be dropping everything to play Returnal remastered.

As for Star Wars, I’m still keen to pick up a physical copy at some point plus Avatar. And I’m actually looking forward to playing AC Shadows, hopefully I can play the majority of the game as the ninja as I do enjoy a good stealth game plus it is called Shadows.
Speaking of stealth I see a trailer has dropped for that standalone Shadow Tactics game which was released on PC ages ago and stated at time no console port. Strange especially as the studio has now closed but hey that probably explains the port.

@CaptD yeah but I just have so many ps4 games in particular… and I’m intent on playing the vast majority of them. That’s not to say that I won’t subsidise the schedule with some ps6 releases at the time though 😉

@Max_Headroom Exactly. It happens no matter how good or bad the games are. In the case of Star Wars Outlaws, some of the crap that gets thrown it's way does get annoying though.

Sucks that you didn't enjoy it since it seemed like you were going to. I guess that's what happens to people who enjoy Spider-Man 2... (yes, I actually enjoyed that one too)

Glad they fixed alot in this game, will definitely be jumping in asap

Don't get me wrong i enjoyed the first few hours but the stealth part did my head in after a while its a shame you are not allowed to fight your way to the end of the mission even if there is only one or two guards in the room etc, i hate having to go back and start again it gets boring real fast.

So I'm a few hours in at this point. But I cannot understand some of the design choices made in this game. It's frustrating and annoying at times. Spending half hour clearing a base only to be spotted by one of the remaining enemies and seeing everything reset is just as frustrating as it gets. I am able to live with no saves during these missions, but the resets are just plain stupid.

I really like the Jedi games and I was looking forward to playing a game that didn't focus on light sabers, but at this point I'd much rather replay Survivor or Fallen Order.

@Octane Are you playing these sections before or after the recent patch that fixes the stealth mechanics?

@BeyondKnight It should be. I will give it another try tonight and see if there's an update still.

@Octane Let me know how it is?
