Away until Monday but hoping to get started as soon as I get back! Hoping they'll have patched any trophy related bugs by then 🤞 mixed reviews but going in to it with an open mind and strong love for Star Wars!

I definitely want to get my scoundrel on, but I'm going to be waiting for sales almost certainly. I'm not anticipating any issues with it, I just want to save some money haha

I can't say I blame you! If there's lots of issues it'll probably drop in price quite quickly. I managed to grab a physical copy of the standard edition for £50 so wasn't too worried 😊

Will complete the game and decide whether the season pass will be worth it!

Are you talking about this?

Star Wars Outlaws Nix Plush | eBay

in that case, you can monitor the eBay as Ubi has been gifting them to the press at the Gamescom and I'm 100% sure they will do the same at the PAX tomorrow.

I've seen a lot much negativity over this game everywhere and since Ubisoft is behind the project, definitely understandable. I'll keep an eyes on reviews.

I hadn't planned on getting it yet but then I got the game for free.

Honestly at this point,. with seven kids, I simply cant afford to spend this much on release date games. I have to wait for it to come down in price. (not sure what the price is, but I am guessing around 50-60) So, I am keeping an eye on CD keys for it.

Oh hell no. The game is in an absolutely HORRENDOUS state. It was so bad they had to put out a patch and told Early Access owners on PS5 to "Start a new save, or there would be progress blockers". When you pay so much money for the benefits with the early access tier, it's simply unacceptable in 2024 from a company with the resources Ubisoft has at it's disposal.

I've seen some clips, and the graphics look like they're straight out of a PS3, barebones combat, terribly animated and goofy looking takedowns, impossible to fail puzzles, checkpoint respawns in a 2024 game and a heavy focus on stealth but without any real mechanics to support it. Not to mention all the bugs.

For a $70 game, it's absolutely disgusting, I can't hate Ubisoft enough, especially with many YouTubers pretty blatantly selling out their integrity to Ubisoft and saying everything is fine and it's enjoyable. I don't even think it's worth $20. Like FirestormGamingTeam said I would wait for it to be HEAVILY discounted on a cd key site.

Sorry if it's not what some wanted to hear, but it's the unfortunate reality of AAA games in 2024 and I wanted to try and save some of you good folks some money if you were still thinking about it.

Ubisoft needs to touch me very long time to make me play.

Not at launch but I do like the look of it and plan to pick it up later in the year once the price has dropped. Ubisoft games always have huge discounts within months of releasing, so seems a bit of a rip off to buy them at launch.

I know it's had mixed reviews and there is a lot of negativity about it on the gaming enthusiast platforms, but I have a feeling it will sell well and be popular with the mainstream audience.

I'm playing and enjoying it a lot. However, like all ubisoft games, it's full of bugs that end up hindering the experience a little. But it's still a lovingly made game!

I'll play it only when everyone will have forgotten about it and it will be thrown out at 10e on Steam. And to be honest, I don't really have time anyway right now anyway, it's curious how priorities change when possibilities open up.

Sadly no, I rarely play $70 games when they first come out unless I know that I'm going to have a good time and even then I usually wait a week or two until I've figured out where that $70 is going to come from in my budget. I'm waiting to hear from people whose opinions on video games I trust to hear whether this is a game I should pick up soon or wait until it's on sale.
