**Star Wars Outlaws Open World Star Wars game from Massive Entertainment**

Yes exactly like that. That is a perfectly valid reason to dislike fallout.

And then you come and go "the debs wanted it that way" well no ****! It's just a boring way to do something, in their opinion

Exactly, thanks for calling out the hypocrisy. Calling out a generic Star Wars game for being generic, then ironically using Elden Ring as some sort of yardstick for not being generic. Elden Ring is literally an open world version of all the previous FromSoft games. No story driven narrative, no real NPC interaction, repetitive cut and paste gameplay from start to finish. You do one dungeon with a boss, you do them all.

Not a terrible game but hardly ground breaking in any ways.

Didn't realise it was a cross gen title releasing also on PS3.

What a waste of development time. Looks like it runs poorly on current hardware anyway - typical cash grab.

Open world usually means visuals over content and this seems to be following that same formula.
 
Thing is though, it's Star Wars, so no matter how bad it is, it will still sell because of the name. We'll have a few beta testers on here frothing at the mouth with excitement.

Will give it a year till it's all fixed up and has a price drop, looks alright but I'm not paying the asking price.

That's my general rule of thumb.

Even if I fancied paying silly money for a day 1 game I'd rather wait for all the patches to be rolled out. Such is the way nowadays.

I may make the odd exception but my last pre-order was The Witcher 2.
 
@Noxia That’s the disappointing thing, because it has the Star Wars tag it will still sell a decent amount even if it turns out to ultimately be a bad game which is what I’ve said previously, from the IGN gameplay video a month or so back.

I hope I’m wrong, there’s so much potential for an open world Star Wars game and the underworld but I don’t think we’ll see it with Outlaws.
 
I suspect I'll do as I've done for both Jedi Survivor games and sub to their subscription service for a month or two and play it through for 50-60% of the cost of buying the game outright.

With AC Shadows also of interest to me this may well be the way to go.

Ubisoft+ is £15pm. You could have both games, with some pre-order bonuses from both games as well, played from start to finish in a couple of months for £30 compared to £100+ to own both, maybe even £120-£150 depending on what bonuses you get.

I know the publishers are counting on people remaining subscribed for months at a time, with an element of 'I forgot to unsubscribe' but I'd wager many more are simply subbing for a specific game or two for a couple of months at the most and then stopping for £30. I K ow I did for Jedi Survivor.

Yup, it makes sense. 3 months max and I’d finish them and likely never play again anyway.

I'll be quite disappointed if this turns out to be a crock, it has the potential to be amazing. Having said that, the Cal Kestis games have set the bar so high, I suspect any new SW games will struggle to impress.

I think at this point it's not really looking like an 'if'.
I'd like to be wrong, truly.
