Star Wars Outlaws

[NecroLord]

I'm replaying Dark Forces games and looking Outlaws is so let down.

I agree with some of your remarks, but
you're surprised that an open world action adventure doesn't play like a Star Wars skinned Doom clone?

Out of curiosity, did your mother ever drop you on your head when you were a baby?

C'mon, mate.
Don't refer to the legend that is Dark Forces as a "Doom clone".
It did so many cool things, even gave rise to an entire series - The Jedi Knight.
Alternate fire modes, jumping, crouching, interesting level design.
Back when Star Wars gaming was at its peak.

Why are people even hyped about this game, it's modern Ubisoft ffs. It's a product containing video game elements identical to natural. It's playable if you have nothing else to do, that's it.

Codex was also hyped about Baldur's Gate 3.

Yes, Outlaws is not a shooter and no one would expect a game like Dark Forces.

When you forget which thread you're in and the two games you think are being compared both use the same engine.

Now I feel dirty. Outlaws (the non-Star Wars game of course) deserves better.

Who's hyped? I see almost universal criticism and indifference here.

Being indistinguishable for a licensed WB shitpile will make the Ubislop not a shitpile, actually.

Yep - can't stop laser blasts, sticks and stones wielded by knee-high teddy bears or unarmed attacks by thin women with bad haircuts.

Wow, I didn't thought you could make Stormtroopers be even more worthless...

Again portraying the Stormtroopers as incompetent and idiotic grunts...
While Stormtroopers were designed for "peacekeeping" operations, there were also troops like the 501st, also known as "Vader's Fist", one of the deadliest fighting forces in The Galaxy.

Mara Jade could've been the best female protagonist.
But we already had her in the Mysteries of the Sith expansion for Jedi Knight.

Yap, they could use an appealing Legends character instead of this. Specially when Disney replaced the EU...and yet they are reusing lots of "old canon" elements: Thrawn, Palpatine's resurrection, etc.

On the other hand...well, they can ruin her, so in a way...maybe is it for the best? And we are talking about a female Star Wars character and not chad male like Kyle Katarn.

Didn't they also open up to the idea of making Revan canon?

I don't know...maybe? I wouldn't be surprised.

Don't give them any ideas, they'd basically just reuse the model for mary jane from spider man 2

Don't puke or you're a bigot.

Excited for this now, should be good fun.

Dark Forces was more than a Doom clone, specially the second one. Both games were very innovative in its time and Outlaws smells like a mere checking all the boxes and not much else.

I was making the comparison about the action part. Yes, Outlaws is not a shooter and no one would expect a game like Dark Forces. But both are Star Wars action games about playing as a Han Solo type character (well, in Dark Forces II a little more than that). In Dark Forces gunplay is very good, you have a lot of fun weapons and gadgets, verticality and makes you feel like you're a chad mercenary badass. Combat in Outlaws (in the videos at least) seems sooo bland and popamole, and playing as a, uh, character.

Dark Forces sucks balls and is basically just a Star Wars skin on Doom.

Jedi Knight was awesome, especially the dorky FMV cutscenes.

Comparing an action adventure third person game against what I'd describe as a pure FPS with a story emphasis is mildly retarded, quality issues aside.
