They seem to be very caught off guard by Star Wars: Outlaws' underperformance, and after investor pressure, are trying to massively course correct. This is what happens when you vote with your dollars!

I was a prime demographic for Star Wars Outlaws, as I like Star Wars and the more recent RPG style Assassin's Creeds. I chose to skip it after the initial impressions, and I'm glad I did. Nice to see that enough other people did the same to make a difference. I'm down for more of the same with a Japanese skin, so hopefully they won't manage to mess this one up to the point that I won't enjoy it.

Same here. Their thing with removing the crew though made me finally give up on Ubisoft. I could deal with the stupid pricing given that I at least got 50 hours out of a game, had an okayish story, and was a time occupier. Removing games so I can't play them again? Fuuuuck that. Cost is all of a sudden a massive issue for me, I'm not going to pay 60 bucks for what is essentially a rental. I'll wait and pay rental prices for it if they're just going to yank it as soon as it's not profitable.

Same, I couldn’t even finish watching a 10 min review, it was so boring. When I went to pick up Space Marines 2 in a big store, it was full of SW Outlaws discs. I picked up the last SM2, and Astro Bot was already sold out, so people were happy to buy games, just not this one.

I liked Jedi Survivor.

I know it's like totally unrelated, but that game was fun.

If it weren’t for the shitty launch the game would’ve absolutely been a GOTY contender. Fuck EA’s greedy ass

Well I'm prime demographic for Outlaws too and I had an incredible blast with the game. It's not a GOTY but it was very enjoyable to me. Very immersive and the story was alright too.

Good, I'm glad you liked it! I may try it sometime in the future when Ubisoft does their usual deep discount.
