Really good looking game graphically, though.
And fun IMO. It seems like a lot of people who actually played it looked it.
Luke lived on a desert planet, of course he’s warm!
Icey, what you did there…
(Edit: speeeeeeling)
Fucking finally die, ubishit. Release those toiling within your guts and let them make tasty roguelite twinsticks or metroidvanias on UE for 10$ a pop
I feel like lukewarm is the best Ubisoft has managed in about a decade now so seems like it should have been within expectations.
People give Anno 1800 too little credit, other than that I agree.
Anno sure is great, sadly it’s not on a platform I’m willing to play on.
Best anno was on Wii.
I’ve been enjoying Far Cry 3 even with the multiplayer servers shut down. Did they ever make another game that isn’t also Far Cry 3?
There’s Rayman legends
That newer Prince of Persia game was supposedly good
Which is so underrated, I’d put it as better than any of the recent 2D Mario games. Years later and Mario Wonder doesn’t even come close to the music levels in Rayman Legends.
I personally prefer origins but legends is still a great game
Did Child of Light come out within the last decade?
Yes, I believe all the UbiArt games did. I would defend all three of those and wish they didn’t slip into the wind
This was a beautiful game. I think it was also one of the only games I have ever accidentally 100% completed.
July 2024, just barely outside of 10yrs ago.
Phoenix rising was a pretty good ancient Greek BOTW experience. Best game they put out in 2020. Better thrash Valhalla or WD Legion
I thought it was fine but it could have been great had it understood why people actually liked BOTW. The idea that you can just highlight every object in a 1km radius around you completely kills exploration, you’re incentivized to just go from map marker to map marker instead of actually exploring the world.
It was okay but it never motivated me enough to actually finish it.
Legion was such a disappointment… I still regularly go back and play WD1 just because it has a great vibe.
The new Prince of Persia roguelike is pretty good, although I’ve hit a wall recently and am too stubborn to look up a walkthrough. Lots of fun otherwise, though.
And only because it’s not by them, but by the team behind dead cells.
I don’t get why? It’s a great game
Doesn’t seem to be available on Steam and they’re already pushing a season pass.
Wait, it’s already out?
Ubisoft doesn’t often make bad games but they never make great games either, they are always 4/10, 5/10, 6/10. The only thing that I can give a better score to is Child of Light. Took long enough for this shit to start losing money.
Child of Light was a successful attempt at making a good indie-like game. I liked it. It was different and creative. They had something great. I wonder what became of the announced sequel…
Plourde expressed that he was unsure if it was still in development but said that he was not involved and that it was unlikely, with most of the core team responsible for the original game having departed the company.
With a focus on games as a service, Plourde expressed doubt over the prequel, believing games such as Child of Light to be no longer something that Ubisoft would want to make.

Rayman Origins and Legends were great. But that was over a decade ago.
Zombiu, AC: Black Flag. Both great games. Rare for Ubisoft though
AC: Black Flag could be great if was not an AC, just Black Flag and the game didn’t age quite well to me, tried to replay recently and is boring to me.
You know, you’re kind of right. I tried to replay it recently and found it boring and thought it was just me. I didn’t consider it possible.
Get fucked ubisoft
Most everyone I’ve seen that actually played it seems to like it.
There seems to be a TikTok campaign where certain people desperately want players to hate this game. I keep seeing this same skinny wispy-bearded dude over & over shitting on the game.
I keep seeing the videos, and what I watch just makes me say “It honestly doesn’t look bad to me.”
Same.
They were dumb enough to buy a AAA title on launch so…
Yeah… fuck them for enjoying a game, right? The nerve of some people. Why didn’t they take your feelings into account?
They’re welcome to, I just don’t trust their judgement.
And I don’t trust the judgement of someone panning something they haven’t even played.
At least it’s logical.
I’m really glad I got it. No regrets at all. Solid gameplay and Fantastic atmosphere. Yesterday I played a mini mission which was sharing a meal with your little companion. Awesome.
Yeah. I’m really looking forward to it.
The Venn Diagram of “people still spending that much money on a game” and “people that are easy to please” seems to be a circle. Maybe something to do with a sunk-cost-fallacy coupled with the “social proof” stuff?
But I don’t know the game. Maybe it’s okay.
They’re using a trusted formula that has worked since Far Cry 3 from 12 years ago. It’s fun but it’s not going to turn a lot of heads. Many just wish they would try something different.
Yeah I don’t really get all the hate. Is it the greatest game ever? No not even a little. Is it good though? Yeah I think so. The combat isn’t all that deep but I’m mostly enjoying it for the writing and world building. It also helps that it’s a gorgeous game.
That being said I can’t see paying full price for it. I subscribed to ubisoft + for it and plan on canceling once I’m done with it. Playing it that way makes it cheaper than a ticket to the movies but for way more hours of pretty star wars locales.
In an alternate universe I just got a 10 kill streak with Ahsoka on the Siege of Mandalore map in Battlefront III. Star Wars Eclipse is coming out in a few months, and gameplay demos show that it looks every bit as good as the trailer.
Do be fair, I think that Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor are some of the best Star Wars games ever made, maybe a tier behind the icons like BF2, Kotor, and Tie Fighter, but not that far and in hindsight I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s up there with them.
Respawn are really great devs that know how to nail fluidly, difficulty, and just all the little details that make all their games a blast.
I really liked Fallen Order. I kind of forgot about Survivor. Need to make a note to watch for it to be on sale.
It’s also on EA Play / Gamepass Ultimate if you’re eyeing either of those or other stuff on them.
Nah, I already have Steam. I’m not installing another launcher.
Playing the SW 1313 remake too.
What gameplay demos??
I’d link them for you, but I’m too busy playing the new 501st spinoff of Republic Commando. It’s pretty badass; you customize a squad of troopers and follow them through training on Kamino, through the Clone Wars, and even Order 66 and the Bad Batch era. It’s not just action; there are meaningful story choices you have to make as you struggle with your loyalty to the Republic and General Skywalker, vs the growing realization that something is wrong with the clones. It’s really well-written and voice acted with a mature story.

Have you tried the new Rogue Squadron?
My favorite addition is the galaxy liberation mode where you support systems to gain their favor and spend that favor for localized support and ship research.
My Zyphor spec A-Wing has a surprise twin linked rail gun mounted underneath for CAS missions
This is the most depressing thread I’ve read in a while.
:(
Wow, if I ignored everything that was posted outside of Lemmy, I would have thought this was a great game that everyone should be buying.
Good thing I knew this would flop. Its especially funny considering Outlaws’ marketing campaign was Ubisoft most expensive marketing campaign ever.
The sad part is that it’s a fun game. The company rep and horrible pricing structure set them up for failure. Release this on steam for $60 and I think it would do great. It doesn’t have all the Ubisoft BS like tons of micro transactions or a million map icons. It was a really good direction shift that they just wouldn’t let succeed.
I had never heard of this game until about three days ago
Opposite experience for me. Outside of lemmy, it seems people actually like it. I was destroyed by downvotes for simply suggesting that it’s a nuanced topic to flame a game on its day one release.
I bought it on PS5 and I’m having fun playing it. Sure, it doesn’t do anything new, the gameplay is very familiar and the enemy AI is dumb as rocks, but you get to play in the Star Wars universe, the locations look great and the story so far seems decent enough (although I’m not that far into the game yet).
Not every meal needs to be a 3 Michelin star gourmet affair, sometimes having a Big Mac with fries is perfectly fine.
This is a $70 game with a ‘season pass’ and the ultimate edition is $130. That’s hardly big mac price.
For me it was €79 (gotta love that VAT).
Still, considering the hours of entertainment I’ll get out of it, the price-per-hour feels reasonable to me compared to other forms of entertainment.
What can I say, value is subjective, but at least to me it’s not what I would describe as Big Mac pricing.
What about compared to other video games?
Edit: even putting hundreds into rocket league its still a better deal, so how does this game add up to a good deal?
If this game takes me 40 hours to complete at a price point of $70 that’s $1.75 an hour to be entertained. That’s not bad value at all IMO. And seeing how I’ll prob take longer doing side missions and such I see that going to under a dollar an hour. Not a ton you can do on a rainy day that will keep you entertained for less than that.
It seems to line up with a lot of other open world games for me. I’m not saying this is an amazing value, I just don’t see it as a bad value.
Yeah thats fair, although ubisoft tends to slash the price of their games very quickly, but thats not to say its still not worth it now for you.
Not every meal meeds to be a 3 Michelin star gourmet affair, sometimes having a Big Mac with fries is perfectly fine.
I don’t think you really understand what you’re saying because this is an even bigger insult to Outlaws than anything I have ever said about the game.
Imagine a food served by a restaurant claiming to have 4 Michelin stars (Outlaws is a AAAA game -made up thing just like 4 Michelin stars- afterall) being compared to a Big Mac. That’s hilarious.
I think you missed the point.
Well said!
