They seem to be very caught off guard by Star Wars: Outlaws’ underperformance, and after investor pressure, are trying to massively course correct. This is what happens when you vote with your dollars!

    I was a prime demographic for Star Wars Outlaws, as I like Star Wars and the more recent RPG style Assassin’s Creeds. I chose to skip it after the initial impressions, and I’m glad I did. Nice to see that enough other people did the same to make a difference. I’m down for more of the same with a Japanese skin, so hopefully they won’t manage to mess this one up to the point that I won’t enjoy it.

      Same, I couldn’t even finish watching a 10 min review, it was so boring. When I went to pick up Space Marines 2 in a big store, it was full of SW Outlaws discs. I picked up the last SM2, and Astro Bot was already sold out, so people were happy to buy games, just not this one.

      Same here. Their thing with removing the crew though made me finally give up on Ubisoft. I could deal with the stupid pricing given that I at least got 50 hours out of a game, had an okayish story, and was a time occupier. Removing games so I can’t play them again? Fuuuuck that. Cost is all of a sudden a massive issue for me, I’m not going to pay 60 bucks for what is essentially a rental. I’ll wait and pay rental prices for it if they’re just going to yank it as soon as it’s not profitable.

      Well I’m prime demographic for Outlaws too and I had an incredible blast with the game. It’s not a GOTY but it was very enjoyable to me. Very immersive and the story was alright too.

        Good, I’m glad you liked it! I may try it sometime in the future when Ubisoft does their usual deep discount.
