Topic: Star Wars Outlaws (30-8-2024)

For anyone interested

I haven't watched any myself, yet, but GameRiot doesn't really clog his gameplay with the hyperactive nonsense of some of the younger streamers, so there's usually a fair base for gameplay reactions that don't completely do your head in

Warning for all of us who paid Ubi $110, got early access and put in 12 hours last night: We all have to restart now.

"Issues with an outdated version on PlayStation 5"

@scoobdoo lol whut? Did they release a patch that wasn't compatible with the "pre" launch version or something? What is their legit excuse? 😅 as what you say sounds pretty refund worthy to me.

I'm very much glad I didn't get tempted to buy it last night, as that would have been a bummer 💀

a lot of us pulled all-nighters, now all that is wasted

@scoobdoo so basically the game on the disc, or version 1.0000 or whatever was put out there with a known game breaking bug at a certain point and the patch wasn't available.

Is it actually legal to ship a game that doesn't work these days? Like, seriously, is it? If the first version of the game won't go past a certain part through normal progression, how can it be released? 😬

My physical copy didn't arrive until a couple hours after I got out of work, so it was a non-issue for me, but that really sucks for people who played it overnight.

Some actually think it may be partially Sony's fault for being notoriously slow on having patches release compared to other platforms, but that is pretty crappy that this was another game to be released with a game breaking bug on Day 1.

On a happier note, I did manage to get a couple of hours in with it tonight and I enjoyed it so far. Way too early to give much of an opinion, but again, I enjoyed it. The lockpicking is kind of annoying though.

@KilloWertz there are some good looking accessibility settings, so I believe that you can switch off certain mini games such as lock picking if you prefer.
