r/StarWarsOutlaws

Not the biggest Star Wars fan but, had a fun time with this title. Although the blaster gunplay felt a bit wonky, like why does a laser gun have recoil? Along side that, the “search general area for a minuscule button prompt” feature was headache inducing to the point where I had to look up multiple times where things were during the playthrough, and the saving restrictions were lame - I still liked this adventure. ND-5 was probably my favorite character from the crew, playing sabacc was dope, and Nix was a fun addition to the stealth / sabotage combat. Hope they make a sequel that fixes a few things and adds some more to the action.

I had just gotten into this game not too long ago after putting it off for some time, and I can honestly say it has been an awesome experience. It may have had a rough launch, but it is a very fluid and fun game now. While I agree developers should be held accountable for releasing half-baked products, the early and premature hate this game got before it even hit storefronts is just goofy to me. The hate happened for a myriad of reasons, and none of them were grounded in logic.

In my opinion, it deserves a sequel, or a continuation down the same plot pathing. I can understand why post-launch support ended due to roadmap benchmarks being met, but no sequel or story continuation? That just doesnt sit right. Especially considering the fact that criminal cartels and the general criminal underground, as plots or themes, have been explored on an in-depth level in some expanded universe books.

Ubisoft (or anyone else who wants to pick up the mantle) can do so much with this collective theme. For example:

>Most Wanted by Rae Carson follows a young Han Solo and Qi’ra as they operate within Corellia’s criminal underworld, dealing with street gangs and larger criminal opportunities.

or

>Shadows of the Empire by Steve Perry features the Black Sun crime syndicate and its leader, Prince Xizor, operating in the period between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Mind you, Black Sun were mentioned in Outlaws, albeit in passing.

>Scoundrels by Timothy Zahn is a heist narrative in which Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian assemble a team of specialists to infiltrate a Black Sun stronghold and steal a large sum

The list goes on. There are multiple avenues available to deepen the criminal underworld setting and amplify it enough for another project. Hell, I think another book just released, Low Red Moon? Its basically an origin story behind Jaylen Bersha (Vrax) and ND-5. The possibilities could be endless.

All in all, awesome game. The lore can be expanded on twenty-fold. Solidified reasons on why this game didnt get a sequel don't really hold water, to be honest.

An underperformance in sales should not preclude a sequel. I mean, how many franchise giants started off weak, but got their glow on with the help of post-launch support infrastructure? A healthy amount. Blaming the brand is also nonsensical. Just refrain from half-baked releases. Expand, add depth, and SW gamers will be at the storefronts waiting.

Just rolled credits and I’ve loved all of my time here in this universe. It’s so so good.
Probably one of my favourite stories and games in a long while.

needed a game which I can play till gears e day releases, I decided to go with outlaws.

I've heard a lot of not so good things about this game but it was on gamepass so there's no loss in trying it out.

My god the game feels so good. I'm not a Star Wars fan so I don't know much lore about Star Wars.
This game being somewhat grounded helps with that.

The graphics are amazing, playing on quality mode on series x.

The combination of running with the blasters and sliding and using adrenaline rush makes a decent but cinematic gameplay experience.
I played only about 4 hours of the game but I'm hooked. Maybe they fixed most if not all of the Issues.

What did you guys make of the DLC expansion? I enjoyed the foundation of Kay playing a high stakes game of Sabaac. The atmosphere felt palpable with there being an audience watching the game. It was also a nice touch that the playing cards looked higher quality given where they were. The only thing is I enjoyed the fact that you had to dig for information on your opponents tells but it felt like I was simply prompted to press the button instead of watching and listening for myself. Given the current discourse in gaming, this also adds to the idea of handholding over a more immersive experience.

What's causing this?
