It's not that bad

[Frankie Boy]

Played it for about 25 hours on Ubisoft Connect and it was quite enjoyable - can understand people not liking the main character, but the game itself isn't bad.

yea it's not that bad, it's just not nearly worth the price, especially the higher tier editions

ubi games are only worth it at 70-80% off

It's good to know that some people are having fun playing this game. And i believe that it must have improved a lot with the updates. In my case, i don't care if the character is ugly or not. I just want to play and maybe enjoy the game and make the investment worthwhile.

THIS.

I would definitly try it if the price right, but even if its on sale on the steam release its probably too much, i would pay 20euro max for the whole game. I could get multiple absolute bangers with 60-70euro. Its a not a questions of quality, its a question of value.

I don't mind the main character, she is okay if a bit bland. Nix is useful, they are both fun characters and that meal mini game is cute. The game has some good ideas, I like how the syndicates work and the environments are really good.

Had Ubisoft created a mandolorian game with these systems and worlds, it would have been truly epic. Instead what we have is a fun Star wars game with no power fantasy and a bland main character. That just isn't going to cut it when you have games like Jedi Survivor and even Jedi Outcast, that do everything better.

I wish people would stop making this bad argument. Fat "gamers" spend 30-50 dollars PER delivery meal and then complain when a game that takes them 1-2 months to beat costs about the same. AAA game, AAA price. Nothing wrong with that.

That said it was "probably" a 30-35 dollar game at release based on what I've read, but with all of the updates now and story DLC to me I'd say it's easily a full price game (60 dollars).

Looks like your typical Ubisoft game, not great, but not awful either.
The price, however, is NOT worth it. Too greedy.

Based
It's even better with a 90% off

Agreed Frankie. It has a few warts here and there, but I'm about 2/3 through it and have been enjoying it. What really works for me is how after the tutorial the game gradually stops holding your hand and you can mostly do whatever you want, and there's enough variety in the activities to keep the gameplay loop from getting too repetitive. Sabacc is a standout, up there with Gwent. At this point I would say 8/10 if you're a Star Wars fan, and maybe deduct a point for non-fans.

Yeah its not bad, as I said in my own thread, the bones of the game are solid. The mechanics work, the engine runs good, etc. The more technical side of the game is clearly made by competent staff. Its just that it feels too familiar to the games they've released in the past. Which is why I can only play it once every so often, and not play their games each release. This could have been set in any universe and felt the same.

They need to let go of their formulaïc approach and make more focussed and distinguished games, perhaps smaller in scope (cue the "pasta sauce" video from Jimquisition). But, I think the issue they run into, is scaling. You need specialized people for each game, and the way they create games now can more easily be scaled/ramped up in scope. They expand the game in horizontally (size/scale) but not in depth, which is easy to do with mediocre staff.

To come up with original gameplay and depth, you need unique and competent staff, not hamstrung by affirmative action and other politics.

what if, they removed the story completely and had a game that was just the game play.
and...as such saved millions of dollars and thus charged you less for it.

would that be a better gaming experience for this game?

no, i hate those games, i call em "survival slop"

games that just drop you with nothing to do, no story, no plot, no characters, nothing to progress the game with except for "loot, craft, build"

laziest shovelware, almost as bad as those $1 unity asset flips

well all those colorful descriptions aside, thanks for your response.
I do not play narrative games at all, been playing games for more than 40 years and the narrative part of the game has always frustrated me. I see it as just getting in the way of my gameplay.
I looked at the best selling games of all time and it appears I am in the majority, not the minority but I was just curious to ask.
