Ubisoft already almost recycles the same mechanics and game play for each AC, they seriously could've just borrowed Unity's stealth and sound mechanics for Outlaws. And used a vibro blade or pistol whip as a melee attack (rather than those weak punches). Kay could've been a Zam Wessle stealth hacker smooth talker with a vibro blade rather than 20% sneak thief, 80% a wanna be Rambo. And besides that, they could've at least added more to the character creator. She doesn't have to be Angelina Jolie hot, but they should've scanned the actress as she is and allow some people can play a human and whoever wants an Skyrim Elf can mangle the character model as they see fit. And if they really care about attracting women to star wars, more cropped jackets and some make up options (if they really want to appeal to girls. Even if it's only 3 lip sticks and 5 eye shadows). I guess the modding community will fix it. Lol
For years we were wondering why stormtroopers are using the armor if it doesn't protect from blasters. Now we learn that their helmets don't even protect from a punch.
Enthusiasts know that the armor does protect from standard blaster fire. Smugglers and Rebels have overcharged blasters or stronger weapons that can melt through the stuff but your average person would only be able to injure a stormtrooper since the armor is meant to absorb energy. Meanwhile it was common knowledge for years since the Original Trilogy that these guys can be taken out with physical/kinetic projectiles like rocks and spears, and rogue one even had a staff shattering the armor like cheap plastic TLDR: Armor good for average blaster, bad against military grade lasers and physical attacks
@@AbdefFable1 "TLDR: Armor good for average blaster, bad against military grade lasers and physical attacks" So you're saying it's only good against some sort of knockoff swiss pocket laser, not any of the weapons their enemies would be expected to carry. And even then you can still just deck them with the hilt or any other blunt objetct.

Star Wars was never a gem. It’s a very simplistic story, with very simple characters, with a very simple plot. It had its charm but it was never that complex or deep. The actual moments when it did something deep and complex is when used as a medium, and not as a basis. The real gems are things like KOTOR or Andor, which do not care about Star Wars itself, but about making a good story. Instead things like Mando or the Obi Wan show only cared about making something Star Wars, without crafting a story. They wanted to make an open world Star Wars without having the story first. One should first craft a story, a world, a plot, and only then apply Star Wars to it. Instead, they just grabbed any random Ubi game and added a Star Wars coat of paint. In fact, adding a Star Wars skin can work, if done with a story and experience in mind first and foremost, something that was clearly not done here.

"They have the foundations for something good here" is honestly how I would sum up most of Ubi's catalogue. Interesting ideas, thematic mechanics, and overall vibes are how they managed to sell Assassin's Creed, The Division, Watch Dogs, and Far Cry. Unfortunately, everything else is almost certainly half baked, which is how they managed to turn off people who've bought those same games.
I really liked the first Assassins Creed when it came out in 2007. Big open world to parkour around in, assassinate bad guys. The combat was very bad but if you avoided that, it was fun. And for 2007, the size of the map and the graphics were very good. Then AC2 came out and it was like; hey heres a guy with an annoying fake italian accent, and we added a crossbow, thatll be 60 bucks please. Like nah. And then they made the same game again but it was in Rome instead, which was pretty cool, but come on that shouldve been a 20-30 dollar expansion at most. I stopped playing after that. Same with Far Cry, Ive played 2 and 3, and Blood Dragon was really fun. But then they just started releasing the same game with a new island and a new villain but everything else is exactly the same.
@@adity-m2g yeah I don't play new games anymore since like 2012. Sc2, csgo, Skyrim. That's about when I tuned out. Been getting into dwarf fortress lately, great game. And I've played some newer indie games. Gloomhaven and For the King. Some other stuff. But the mainstream stuff is just the same as what I played over a decade ago, but worse.
Notice how at the very start the huge fireworks in the sky were not casting any illumination at all. Light that doesn't light sh*t up. AAAA stuff right there.
Ubisoft should've used Watch Dogs 2 as a foundation to build this game. Imagine all the cool gadgets we could've gotten, the smooth parkour and the actually fun combat
Watch Dogs 2 had that tonality problem as well. The characters act like they are jolly little hippie peaceful activist hipsters joking around and in the gameplay you go around shooting people in the head. Also the game doesn't take its own "totalitarian surveillance is bad and we should oppose it" message seriously. Main characters are supposedly fighting against an absolute evil totalitarian dystopia like they are going start some urban guerilla warfare shit, and they joke around and do childish stunts. Like Outlaws, where they show you a menacing, threatening villain with a possibly dark backstory and then have him ridiculed by a critter.
@@aca347what do you mean dedsec San Francisco totally isn't a terrorist group..... Not like wrench was making homemade ieds in his basement or anything and dedsec was like alright you're in 😂. Watch dogs are just for anarchists to get their rocks off
This is the first video like this that I watched all the way through in a looooooong time. I wasn't gonna play outlaws, but I still appreciate that you did so that I definitely, definitely don't have to. Mucho appreciatimo, muchacho.
"Tatooine, a fan favorite" I can't express enough how utterly tired and done I am of seeing that f*cking desert in Star Wars, it's supposed to be a totaly whatever planet with nothing interesting on it, it's the whole reason the Hutts are based there, it's because official authority won't bother seriously going there becouse it's a pointless sh*thole planet. Stop. Going. To. Tatooine. The planet is not interesting, never has been, never will be, it's not good looking, it's not alien, IT IS JUST A FRIGGIN' DESERT, STOP
@ryon5174 Kashykk actually serves as an important area for lumber and physical labour to the empire, so it actually makes sense to see it more often. But not ole Desert land.
Lol literally not true but go ahead let penguinz01 keep you from missing out. The facial animations are ass and the melee attacks suck but everything else is spot on. This is a true open world star wars game with alot of shit to do side missions upgrades gambling random events etc.
Y’all are tweaking this game is phenomenal. Stop listening to the reviews and open your eyes. Go watch some non-commentary gameplay. I have literally never spent more time in photo mode on any other video game in my life.
You'd think having a protagonist who's part of a very discriminated group in the galaxy would make a lot more sense than some random human woman with an alien pet and would get more people to be interested, but no, Ubisoft knows what's best, allegedly
Tbh the game could be so good. The reputation system is cool, and the fast talk feature is actually a good idea. If the combat was more interesting, the enemies AI was actually decent, and it was like half as expensive it could actually be a decent game. I think the biggest problem is probably the fact that it’s made by Ubisoft tho, so they of course they didn’t do any of that cause they just wanna make as much money as possible.
I wish this game took after Red Dead Redemption 2, like being able to antagonize people in bars then quick drawing on them would have been cool as hell in a Star Wars setting
i like the fact that they did not even bother to insert special takedown animation for enemy wearing an armour punch in the face to people wearing full head armour instant ko yeah quality game design
KInd of sad when Battlefront II (2017) has better AI enemies 8 years ago compared to the AI in this game. And the enemies actually felt more dangerous in the story mode and multiplayer.
@@ryanspencer6778 BF2004's AI is actually so dang smart for its time, they would take cover, track you down once spotted, and tactical nade spam. Shame 2005 nerfed em to bits
The cookie cutter gameplay is definitely a shortfall, but their stories have never exactly been anything to write home about either. It’s not usually offensively bad- but it’s not once ever been a primary driver bringing people to their games either
@@rd0676 There are exceptions to that. Watchdogs 1 actually had a decent plot. The Ezio trilogy as well. And while not too story driven, the underlying plot of Ghost Recon Wildlands wasn't half bad either. Not to mention the OG Splinter cell games. But for the last 10 or so years, every new Ubi entry feels like it was generated by a robot who wouldn't know creativity if it hacked into its OS
"Each of you represents some of the most powerful organizations in the galaxy" Wow that's interesting. I've never seen an Ubisoft board meeting before 😂
Ubisoft: Outlaws is the first open world Star Wars game! SWTOR, KOTOR, Jedi FO and Survivor, Galaxies, LEGO Skywalker Saga (I'm probably forgetting more): Are we a f*cking joke to you?
@@zts3902 Galaxies is without contest the most open world star wars game in existence. The maps are massive and you can go anywhere you want, numerous planets each with their own orbits for space missions, can do virtually anything you can think of like being a entertainer getting tips at the local cantina, building your own city as a mayor, becoming a gun manufacturer, spice smuggler, factional or independent pilot, etc. I could go on and on but clearly you've never played SWG or else you wouldn't have such a horrible take.
Thanks for dropping that deep lore,I thought Nix was a bit random but seeing this it all makes sense,u like this character so much u went back in time to name ur dog this instead of what u originally wanted
You can only do that on Story mode. On normal or harder difficulties they will block every melee attempt. You also can’t do a takedown on heavies or droids until you get the shock prod in the game. Honestly the shock prod should be used on all enemies if they have a helmet on. All the animations in the game are there but for some reason Kay will punch someone through a helmet instead.
That was me. Those helmets are supposed to be build to resist lasers. You're telling me girlie has enough strength to punch them hard enough to make someone go unconscious?
@@yasininn76 Exactly. Stormtrooper armor is intended to stop that kind of melee brawling, and it'd definitely take more than 3 hits from a weak idiot to go through 3 centimetres of plastoid armor. Just stupid.
@@Shob1234 Hilarious and unnecessary. They could have invented a dozen tools for her to take people down that could've added some depth, but this game was made for low iq people and children.
I don’t know if they were good at one point but if so man have they fallen. Who’s game informer, have they gone full woke shill corporate mindless type thing or what?
The only bad thing about this vid is that the skillfull editing, funny banter from zanny (at the games expense) and the amount of dedication to not playing the game how the devs intended actually makes this joke of a video game look fun.
I literally saw the gun combat and thought to muself, "huh, this is like that one mj mission where you can actually attack instead of needing to sneak behind seventeen hunters by walking right in front of them or some bullshit like that"
I don't understand Disney Star War's obsession with that planet. It's lame. It's meant to be in-universe a backwater. Stop setting Stars Wars content there...
@@ethanduncan1646 I mean it's not even Disney that has an obsession with it. Tattooine's been in so many games (SWG, Knights of the Old Republic, the Old Republic mmo, Shadows of the Empire, I'm sure one of the Jedi Academy games goes there, Empire At War, Rouge Squadron, it's probably harder to find games that don't go to Tattooine. I don't see the appeal either way.
Outlaws had an insanely missed opportunity to not incorporate Coruscant as a location, mainly the Coruscant Underworld, would have been cool if Level 1313 was added as a nod to the cancelled Star Wars 1313. Quite disappointing.

Truly the ultimate stealth mechanics.
Ubisoft already almost recycles the same mechanics and game play for each AC, they seriously could've just borrowed Unity's stealth and sound mechanics for Outlaws. And used a vibro blade or pistol whip as a melee attack (rather than those weak punches). Kay could've been a Zam Wessle stealth hacker smooth talker with a vibro blade rather than 20% sneak thief, 80% a wanna be Rambo.
And besides that, they could've at least added more to the character creator. She doesn't have to be Angelina Jolie hot, but they should've scanned the actress as she is and allow some people can play a human and whoever wants an Skyrim Elf can mangle the character model as they see fit. And if they really care about attracting women to star wars, more cropped jackets and some make up options (if they really want to appeal to girls. Even if it's only 3 lip sticks and 5 eye shadows).

Thing is, “good foundation and concept” us not something you’d want from a 70$ title
@@MintBunHunter Right. That's only half of what a whole game should be, would be more reasonable to sell it at 30\35.
I really liked the first Assassins Creed when it came out in 2007. Big open world to parkour around in, assassinate bad guys. The combat was very bad but if you avoided that, it was fun. And for 2007, the size of the map and the graphics were very good.
Then AC2 came out and it was like; hey heres a guy with an annoying fake italian accent, and we added a crossbow, thatll be 60 bucks please. Like nah. And then they made the same game again but it was in Rome instead, which was pretty cool, but come on that shouldve been a 20-30 dollar expansion at most. I stopped playing after that.
Same with Far Cry, Ive played 2 and 3, and Blood Dragon was really fun. But then they just started releasing the same game with a new island and a new villain but everything else is exactly the same.
@@TheSuperappelflapBro thats how every game IP is GTA Tomb raider Uncharted and how to forget COD and tons of other IPs
@@adity-m2g yeah I don't play new games anymore since like 2012. Sc2, csgo, Skyrim. That's about when I tuned out. Been getting into dwarf fortress lately, great game. And I've played some newer indie games. Gloomhaven and For the King. Some other stuff. But the mainstream stuff is just the same as what I played over a decade ago, but worse.
Notice how at the very start the huge fireworks in the sky were not casting any illumination at all. Light that doesn't light sh*t up. AAAA stuff right there.

@@WorkrategetschingyShut up
Ubisoft should've used Watch Dogs 2 as a foundation to build this game. Imagine all the cool gadgets we could've gotten, the smooth parkour and the actually fun combat
Watch Dogs 2 had that tonality problem as well. The characters act like they are jolly little hippie peaceful activist hipsters joking around and in the gameplay you go around shooting people in the head. Also the game doesn't take its own "totalitarian surveillance is bad and we should oppose it" message seriously. Main characters are supposedly fighting against an absolute evil totalitarian dystopia like they are going start some urban guerilla warfare shit, and they joke around and do childish stunts.
Like Outlaws, where they show you a menacing, threatening villain with a possibly dark backstory and then have him ridiculed by a critter.

"Tatooine, a fan favorite"
I can't express enough how utterly tired and done I am of seeing that f*cking desert in Star Wars, it's supposed to be a totaly whatever planet with nothing interesting on it, it's the whole reason the Hutts are based there, it's because official authority won't bother seriously going there becouse it's a pointless sh*thole planet.
Stop.
Going.
To.
Tatooine.
The planet is not interesting, never has been, never will be, it's not good looking, it's not alien, IT IS JUST A FRIGGIN' DESERT, STOP
TBF, if there's one game that should have tatooine it's this game because of the hutts
"But...Anakin Skywalker is from there so its gotta be important! And his son too!"
Some modern day star wars writer, probably.
Yeah idk who said that planet was the shit but if one more Star Wars game is based there I’m gonna crash out
That’s kinda me with Kashyyk tbh
@ryon5174 Kashykk actually serves as an important area for lumber and physical labour to the empire, so it actually makes sense to see it more often. But not ole Desert land.

Lol literally not true but go ahead let penguinz01 keep you from missing out.
The facial animations are ass and the melee attacks suck but everything else is spot on. This is a true open world star wars game with alot of shit to do side missions upgrades gambling random events etc.

It’s so cool you decided to name your dog after the critter from Star Wars Outlaws.
In all honesty. ZANNY’S right, we need ND-5 to be the protagonist instead of some smuggler who I can’t even remember the name of…
You'd think having a protagonist who's part of a very discriminated group in the galaxy would make a lot more sense than some random human woman with an alien pet and would get more people to be interested, but no, Ubisoft knows what's best, allegedly

“Finn and Rose are up there wasting screen time” fuckkk that got me
Tbh the game could be so good. The reputation system is cool, and the fast talk feature is actually a good idea. If the combat was more interesting, the enemies AI was actually decent, and it was like half as expensive it could actually be a decent game. I think the biggest problem is probably the fact that it’s made by Ubisoft tho, so they of course they didn’t do any of that cause they just wanna make as much money as possible.
They also could have given it more of a GTA but in Star Wars feel
I agree it’s not perfect but man is it a cool Star Wars game
@@ashortgingerfr. I don’t think it’s horrible, but it could have been so peak if Ubisoft had been more creative
I wish this game took after Red Dead Redemption 2, like being able to antagonize people in bars then quick drawing on them would have been cool as hell in a Star Wars setting
@@ashortginger It's mid at best. They had everything to make it a great SW game, but chose not to and it sucks to see

KInd of sad when Battlefront II (2017) has better AI enemies 8 years ago compared to the AI in this game.
And the enemies actually felt more dangerous in the story mode and multiplayer.
The AI in the original Battlefront from 2004 seems to be better than the AI in this.

Cant believe you liked the axolotl so much that you named your dog after it.
Ubi world building has always been fantastic. The atmosphere of The Division 1/2 and even the AC games are good, its just the gameplay that lacks.
The cookie cutter gameplay is definitely a shortfall, but their stories have never exactly been anything to write home about either. It’s not usually offensively bad- but it’s not once ever been a primary driver bringing people to their games either
@@rd0676 There are exceptions to that. Watchdogs 1 actually had a decent plot. The Ezio trilogy as well. And while not too story driven, the underlying plot of Ghost Recon Wildlands wasn't half bad either. Not to mention the OG Splinter cell games.
But for the last 10 or so years, every new Ubi entry feels like it was generated by a robot who wouldn't know creativity if it hacked into its OS
I’m laughing my soul out with those “POW” and it’s just been 10 seconds of video 😭

@@zts3902 Galaxies is without contest the most open world star wars game in existence. The maps are massive and you can go anywhere you want, numerous planets each with their own orbits for space missions, can do virtually anything you can think of like being a entertainer getting tips at the local cantina, building your own city as a mayor, becoming a gun manufacturer, spice smuggler, factional or independent pilot, etc.
I could go on and on but clearly you've never played SWG or else you wouldn't have such a horrible take.

8:24 NAH THE WAY HE RAN UP TO THE HEAVY TROOPER AND JUST STARTED BEATING HIM UP
You can only do that on Story mode. On normal or harder difficulties they will block every melee attempt. You also can’t do a takedown on heavies or droids until you get the shock prod in the game.
Honestly the shock prod should be used on all enemies if they have a helmet on. All the animations in the game are there but for some reason Kay will punch someone through a helmet instead.

@@yasininn76 Exactly. Stormtrooper armor is intended to stop that kind of melee brawling, and it'd definitely take more than 3 hits from a weak idiot to go through 3 centimetres of plastoid armor. Just stupid.

@@ethanduncan1646 I mean it's not even Disney that has an obsession with it. Tattooine's been in so many games (SWG, Knights of the Old Republic, the Old Republic mmo, Shadows of the Empire, I'm sure one of the Jedi Academy games goes there, Empire At War, Rouge Squadron, it's probably harder to find games that don't go to Tattooine.
I don't see the appeal either way.
Outlaws had an insanely missed opportunity to not incorporate Coruscant as a location, mainly the Coruscant Underworld, would have been cool if Level 1313 was added as a nod to the cancelled Star Wars 1313. Quite disappointing.
