I love Star Wars and usually have a half decent time with Ubi games. You can usually pick them up for 50% off physical like a month after release.

I have never put down a game quicker than Outlaws. It’s Ubisoft open world map icon slop at its worst. The first 4 hours of story are boring and repetitive. Every mission was “sneak into an Imperial base, oh shit something went wrong! Now escape!” Progression and abilities might as well not be there.

Interest in SW isn’t waning. Companies keep making bad SW content.

There is a waning interest, but it wasn't the singular reason the game flopped. It's because it was a painfully mediocre game at an extremely inflated price.

Mass-produced corporate sludge like Outlaws is exactly why interest is waning. It sucks the soul out of the franchise and makes people lose interest.

Idk, I liked Jedi: Survivor even though that one was EA.

Wasn't it more that the game was a buggy mess? No that can't have been it it was clearly the fans fault.

Make boring shit, get no love from the community. It's as easy as that.

What? I thought Ubisoft was saying sales were really strong and how Outlaws was such a big success?

I'm going to guess this is the exact same case with Assassins Creed. An AC game set in feudal Japan should have been a Grand Slam. Literally everyone wanted it. But leave it up to Ubisoft to find ways to make money from a printer drop right into the shredder.

It's more than just bugs and "blandness." Clearly people aren't buying what Ubisoft is making, and they keep changing stuff but none of the things they change are the reasons people aren't buying their games. It is crazy to me that executives continue to learn the wrong lesson from failed games 100% of the time. And then they ignore gamers when we straight up tell them what they should have changed. Crazy.

I think the turnoff for me was they wanted like $90 or something. No thanks.

I tried it in May/June and it was very meh. At the start I had an urge to play it, but after a day or two I had no urge to open it. A lot of it felt repetitive to a point of why bother.

I actually really liked this game.

This was another, though, that launched with a bunch of bugs on pc. And while I didn’t run into a ton on PS5, the game crashed for me here or there. And that sucks.

But I played and beat this game. And I quite enjoyed it. But I wouldn’t say it’s a masterpiece or anything.

Classic skill issue

It's been like 4-5 years since I've purchased a Ubisoft game. There's too many games out there to be spending money on a trash publishers games. Along with how slp on the wrist it seemed with their workplace sexual harassment/bullying/assault, always remember that they pioneered always online DRM for single player games. They've been a trash company publicly for almost 20 years. Culturally probably longer

I loved the acolyte and was sad to hear it was cancelled. Jason Mendoza, a badass sith? Sign me up!
