I knew it was bad but this is hilariously bad.

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.

People can even BOTH enjoy stuff AND make fun of or complain about its failings.

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.

[–] PunchingWood 2 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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.

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.

[–] PunchingWood 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] acosmichippo 7 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

It's okay but you're going a little far comparing it to RDR2.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] PunchingWood 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ripcord -1 points 2 weeks ago

They also took inspiration from Adventure for the Atari VCS.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

You're right, it's way less boring than a Rockstar game lol

People enjoy bad things all the time. Think heroin or junkfood.
