who cares they can do with their games as they wish and America is now a crime infested shithole so we loose stuff everyday people need to grow a pair ;P
@@Therealravencry it's just another way to be able to kill the game after they don't want to support it anymore. "Oh you enjoyed this game and wanted to keep playing it for decades? Tough luck, but you can buy the next one we release for $130."
@@eliavita Nah bro. It's a full price "AAA" game that leaves you feeling like you just wasted hours of your life for nothing. Ubisoft has really taken a turn for the worst.
@eliavita A bit late to this conversation but without playing it myself I will say it was a COMPLETE downgrade from the first "Avatar: The Game" in many aspects

@@celorfiwyn8193 oh look, another AAA shill. There are loads of reasons why an internet connection might not be available 24/7, and I actually have lots of modern games that I can play offline.....now be a good shill and go give Yves that blow job you promised him.
@celorfiwyn8193 It's a story mode game. It doesn't require online unless you connect it to. UBs account to unlock extra little things. This is sad, and ppl take in supporting this or defending. It is even poorer.
LMFAO! The state of Star Wars is sad, everything is getting pricelocked. Games are worse and more expensive. All newer shows/movies are only going to be on Disney+. This being added to the general economy just doesn't bode well.

There's also the "get used to not owning games" speech from Ubisoft, so I have to buy it expecting the game to be a $70+ game I can't even play on my account eventually. I just don't trust Ubisoft to not just make it so that the game disappears at any point.
From what I can see, that's not actually what happened. From what I found: "Ultimately, he says, in order for more gamers to embrace subscription models they would need to get more comfortable with not owning games. He says this as an observation of market reality, not a dictate, as implied by this headline"
@@fjnagel5454 I highly doubt that anyone from Disney is doing anything but minor consulting work on the writing to make sure their cannon lines up. Disney isn't developing this game, Massive Entertainment is. Disney licensed the Star Wars IP to Ubisoft/ME.
It should have been a Star Wars themed Grand Theft Auto. A galaxy spanning crime spree working for Hutts and Black Sun, running spice, guns, forcibly indentured servants, and running afoul of Car'das, Karrde, and Booster Terrik, and dodging Imps and bounty hunters.
That would be nice, but they would've had to have placed the game in the good canon timeline. I doubt that will ever happen again. Maybe it's a blessing. They can't ruin the EU this way.
That sounds like a really awesome project! However, I think it would have to be a really big project like GTA6 has been, and there are not many developers that I trust with making a game like that, a game which I think has the potential to be one of the best Star Wars games ever
I am from Brazil and the price of the game here is astronomical. Literally HALF of an entire monthly minimum wage. To comparisson, its like the game was 500 dollars in the United States. Unbelievable
Por isso ou eu pirateio ou espero alguns anos até o jogo ficar com uns 75% de desconto. Nem pelo menos vale a pena comprar no dia de lançamento de qualquer jeito
@@Lady_Evelyn the effect of inflation is does not explain the whole problem. It is THEIR greed speaking. Other companies put their AAA games in far better prices, along with other greedy companies charging your house for 15 years old games (Call of Duty)
Star wars the force unleashed III originally was gonna be the first singleplayer open world star wars game but disney cancelled that game right after they bought lucasfilm
it's like Ubisoft wants to be labeled as the greediest game company on par maybe even surpassing EA the era of AAA studios dominating the market is dead, indie/small game studios is the way
@@investoroncoke It's about worth to affordability ratio with a lot of new AAA games not being worth the asking price. The Inflation crisis has only *inflated* the issue gamers are having with price in general. I myself almost never buy a game over $20. Except Helldivers 2. That 1 was worth the $40 for me.
This video actually just steered me away completely. by having a mission ready day 1 behind a paywall really means that they are intentionally charging you a massive price for an incomplete game and then they charge more to complete it and they aren't even trying to hide it anymore.
It might be good, it might be bad we still dont know until we play for ourselves but those prices man WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE PRICES and WHY THE ACTUAL DUCK DO WE NEED A BATTLEPASS IN A SOLO STORY.
Ubisoft isn’t making anything, Massive is making the game and being published by Ubisoft. Given they made The Division series I am more than willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
You forgot to mention the controversy where you have to be online to install the game, which is only exacerbated by recent comment from a Ubisoft’s director of subscription saying that consumers should “get used to not owning games”
Ubisoft want us to "get used to" not owning our games. Now they want us to "get used to" 150 dollar prices for those games. I'm sure they already "got used to" not seeing a penny of my money when I started only buying their games used ten years ago.
Also Canadian, and until 5 years ago I used to work at a game store (not going to name it, but it's the big one). I've seen probably over a thousand deluxe/collector's editions, and nothing that doesn't come with a substantial physical bonus is worth more than $120. No exceptions. And I hope people give the 3-day early access the resounding cold-shoulder that it deserves; it costs Ubisoft $0 to offer that, and it should therefore be valued at $0 by customers. If it's ready to go 72 hours earlier than originally planned (it won't be) then that's when it should hit shelves. Waiting to launch the game until after the servers are ready (they won't be) is no different removing Day 1 DLC in order to add it to a deluxe addition. And you, the customer, should not be paying any company for the privilege of stress-testing their servers to make sure that they're ready for actual launch day (still won't be).
What sucks is the pricing. It's $130 for the complete game. Compare this with $60 in the past for a complete game. DLC is supposed to be developed months or years after release. DLC is never supposed to be ready at launch it's ADDITIONAL content. Not content that was carved off the game so the Publisher can OVER double the price.
I mean cost increases are a real thing. $60 stopped being a sustainable price for AAA devs back in 2010, which is why mtx has gotten so big. It's more insulting that they release a stripped-down version and then also put extra purchases into the full versions.
@@sethb3090 $60 didn't stop being a sustainable price. MORE people are buying games economy of scale AND we're not buying physical copies anymore so there's literally no up front cost to selling a copy of your game digitally. Look at how much work and money goes into movies for instance and you can buy avengers or something for like $5. Don't use that bullshit excuse about "oooOOo but it costs so much" when we have an entire industry that spends just as much if not MORE on their projects in many cases and are still making billions.
@@WalrusWinking yeah, you can buy Avengers for $5, roughly what, 15 years later? You can't get a cheeseburger for less than triple what it was in the early 2000s, but for some reason people expect video games to cost the same amount but also have more of everything.
@@sethb3090 Actually no I can buy Avengers Endgame (which came out in 2019) for 4 dollars. I can buy Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 that came out last year for $4 that cost 250 million to make. I can buy Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning: Part One for $6 that came out last year too cost like 290 million to make. I can buy Fast X for $4 that cost 340 MILLION to make. That's all digital purchases by the way just like how most people buy videogames. Digitally. There are videogames that came out in like 2008 that are still $60. Call of Duty Black Ops II a game that came out in 2012 is still $60 to buy. There's an obvious problem here and you are refusing to see it.
@@WalrusWinking movies go out to a way bigger audience. A game is a big success if it gets like 15 million sales. A movie is a big success if it gets 200 million sales. Do the math.
I think it's a game that would be worth giving a shot, but it's definitely not a preorder, and it's definitely not worth anything more than the base game
This is such a complete turn from the initial gameplay trailer for this game. Crazy how it went from people actually liking what they see to now everyone being pissed about it.
@@jaina8648like there’s a reason to be mad about Ubisoft’s greedy business practices with this whole $130 price tag for the gold edition, but in general I agree that the most vocal Star Wars fans cannot be happy about anything new
TBF, i haven't heard of any game using a season pass in... awhile. So it's natural to assume it was a battle pass, because they're everywhere right now.
I remember the old times when you got that fun little booklet with your game that had general information some art and a prologue or story setting for the game... And you had the game in you hand completed and all you would get, even if some where buggy or broken most good ones where 100% done when you picked it up in store and brought home. No down load no patch just enter cartridge or disk and "loud sound" "game logo" game on...
another thing back then too is that if a game WAS buggy, it was bashed by anyone who bought it and therefore didn't sell well. Nowadays you have people settling and even DEFENDING games that release in buggy, unfinished states because "they'll fix it post-launch" (they usually don't).
Cost of a AAA game in 2000: $60 USD. Cost of a AAA game in 2024: $70 USD. What $60 from 2000 is worth in 2024: $109. Typical development cost of a AAA game in 2000: $15 million. Typical development cost of a AAA game in 2024: $80 million. The price we as gamers demand to pay for AAA titles does not make economic sense for the game industry to sustain. We don't like developer crunch, right? We don't like buggy, incomplete launches, right? We don't like rushed or incomplete stories or features, right? We don't like microtransactions, right? We don't like when studios bail on hotly anticipated titles, right? Well, then, we have to pay what they're worth. I would love to have it all for cheap as much as anyone else, but that's not realistic. Games are requiring more developers and artists than ever before, and studios are taking larger financial gambles with every title they greenlight. There is space in the gaming world for "AA" games with fewer features or content or graphical fidelity, at a $30-60 price point (Senua's Sacrifice, Subnautica, looking at you, you beautiful babies). Let's stop creating controversy over rising prices and pay for what they're worth. And if they don't deliver, THEN let loose the internet dogs of war. (edit: and don't preorder, so you don't get stuck with a bad game! Come on people!)
Typical Ubisoft. You see the trend in their Assasin creed franchise as well. At the point you have to expect that a seasonal pass is going to be included as well.
You have to admit its weird to base the character on the model Humberly Gonzales and intentionally take away her natural beauty for a fictional universe
At this point the industry just hate women XD they made ugly and "marimacho" girls that seems to always want to hide the fact they are women (you dont need a microbikini type of outfit to make a prtagonist looks good, but they always throw masculine clothes that ultimalty looks ugly)
They didn't take away her natural beauty. Like most men you literally just think a woman not wearing makeup is "taking away her natural beauty." It'd almost be sad except I don't feel sympathy for ignorant men. 🤷♀️
Does anyone else remember when you could buy a complete Star Wars game for £40 brand new, could create your own character...and it had a really well written story-driven narrative that you could invest many hours of time in, again and again...because it was genuinely fun? Oh and you could mod it fairly easily too, for funzies. It was back in the LucsArts days...they were wonderous times...so what the hell happened? *Greed* They want around £100 for this semi-finished game??? *Forget that NO WAY*
Kay's hair is what does it for me, Farrah Fawcett hasn't been in vogue in like 40 years guys. I dunno what the mocap woman's name is, but she's definitely more attractive than what they did with Kay's model. I don't really have an issue with it, it's not like they made her look like Shrek or something, but that pricing really pissed me off. Fuck that shit.
oh no, cd5sircoupe can't get it up for the protagonist, whatever shall we do. Heaven forbid a game feature a character that looks like a normal fucking woman. cd5sircoupe here can't understand that the poor smuggler isn't the hottest woman in the galaxy.
Star wars has always used 70s and 80s hairstyles. Especially for the Imperial era, because thats what was in style when the OT was released. Clunky scifi tech and old hairstyles is a part of the charm. Personally I think the hair is cute. The face and especially the eyes tho are inconsistent and off putting.
@@Marvolo14 Yeah, obviously since it's a product of the 70s-80s... that doesn't mean that I like her hair style. I'm fully aware of the time period this franchise evokes, particularly the OT. I've been watching this shit since the 80s.
First thing I said when I saw this game's trailer: "Oh great, another Star Wars content settled around the Imperial era. My my, soo original, it's not like we already had other contents like that, like two whole games among them. I'm totally excited to play this reiteration of Far Cry for 70$"
@@phoenix211245 Imma be honest, I really like some of the canon content, particularly the books, which have done some things right, but a new universe might be what's needed.
@@phoenix211245 I can definitely see where you are coming from, I think some serious pruning is needed, but as much as I love Legends, it is done and bringing it back will only worsen things IMO. Keep the core shows like TCW, Andor, Solo, Rogue One, the OT and PT, and the good books. This gives you a very solid base with heaps of room to expand and mold the story while also giving it a fresh enough start
I must have caveman brain because the model looks completely fine to me Man if the Mandela Effect ever becomes real I'll be the first to die by an alternate lol
Some like coffee Some like tea You like stuff that isn't for me. Taken as a whole, it's just not for me. But if you like what you see, go for it. Have fun! :)
Remember. Ubisoft are the ones who said that gamers should get used to not owning any of their games. Even more evident now that they've taken The Crew 1 away from those who purchased it.
Something I'm not hearing people talk about is what we actually "see" in this trailer. Most people miss at the very beginning there's a small disclaimer that some, if not all, of this trailer can be changed or missing from the full game. Plus this looks to me to be a cinematic trailer with now actually game play, while the last "gameplay" trailer was so highly scripted it may as well have been a cinematic.
"MC being ugly or manlike". *Modders about to fill the game with anime girls with qeustionable proportions* : This is where the fun begins ISD: *pulls up* Rest of the fleet: Bro you forgot your balls
Another thing which really bores me is the main characters are always ordinary humans. Like come on it is literally a Star Wars game, please create an alien like protagonist for once with special abilities or cool looks
That's the spirit. The amount of money they make over that FOMO is ridiculous. Plus, games are so often incomplete and full of but that witing gives you both a cheaper and better game.
I wasn't really looking to buy this game either way at the moment. But I can't imagine finishing a brand new game in a month, especially with how big they make them these days. I play through things slowly and methodically and I've got other things I spend time on.
There are 5 syndicates: 1. Hutt (Jabba the Hutt) 2. Crimson Dawn (Lady Qi'ra) 3. Ashiga (Queen Ashiga, developed with Lucasfilm) 4. Pyke (Gorak) 5.

It’s unfortunate we’re now in the era of 70$ triple a games. First TOTK and now this. I honestly think games need to have a more limited budget to force creativity- they’ve fallen into the same trap as cinema. At least we’ve still got indie games
Star Wars Outlaws just simply doesn't generate hype like passed other Star Wars games in the last years like Star Wars Jedi Fallen Orden, Star Wars Squadrons and most recently Star Wars Jedi Survivor. One watched the trailer and immediately the reaction was "I WANNA PLAY IT" and with Outlaws the reaction is just "MEH" I thinks this new entry in the Star Wars gaming world is gonna flop badly.
Any kind of bounty hunter game would have been cooler in my opinion. I wouldn’t even want a Han Solo game, so “female Han Solo” isn’t any more appealing to me.
No, talking about the character being ugly is a legitimate discussion too. Honestly, what's the point of hiring a model to base the character off of if the character isn't going to resemble her in the slightest? It's agenda and ideology, subverting story and design elements. The other business choices being made merit discussion too of course and they need to be called out but it's just a few of many bad choices being made in the development of thus game.
"the character being ugly is a legitimate discussion too." I think a big reason why many people are irritated is there is a strong suspicion the publishers purposefully made the character ugly to please feminists.
@@Jakkaribik1 Sicher, aber wenn wir einkaufen, dann wird die nicht erst am Ende des Einkaufs zum Preis dazugerechnet, sondern sie ist bereits im Kaufpreis inbegriffen
It’s not that she’s ugly per-say, it’s more the fact that video game companies are intentionally trying to shame gamers for liking attractive female characters in the games they play and calling them all sorts of derogatory terms. If you examine the Stellar Blade controversy, you’ll see what I mean. It’s these video game consulting companies that are ruining the games we love, and making the female characters less attractive is just a small piece of a larger issue many gamers, both male and female, have with AAA gaming.
I really like how the main character looks. She looks like a kid who was sitting in a movie theater in the 1980s watching empire strikes back and got pulled though the screen. Really worried about the writing and dialogue though
The blatant way that they ripped off the 'companion riding on your back' gimmick from EA's Jedi Survivor game should already have been a major red flag, it's some next-level laziness.
Remember when you spent that kind of money and got statues, books, bags, patches, artwork, comics for backstory etc in top of a full game, now we have let them take advantage of us. I would always recommend not preordering until review is released.
is the SBI thing satire? They're not even involved in this game. The only mainstream game they've been involved in that's bad is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
He actively doesn't like people that are sexist buddy. SBI isn't involved, we all know its a dog whistle for you when all you want to say is "woman bad".
So female Han Solo with a Confederate Commando Droid for muscle instead of a Wookie. Doing a mission for Jabba the Hutt and clearly fails in some aspects. They want to charge that kind of money for a story that's already been told and don't even want to sell you the whole game unless you pay more? No thank you I'll stick with Helldivers II. Come back when Battlefront III is available.
They literally spent resources that could have been used to create game content in order to GATE content from players they feel haven't paid enough. It's like manufacturing a car, offering it without a windshield for cheaper, then paying workers to yank that windshield out of the car and throw it in the garbage.
Exactly what I was thinking. There's probably some dumb/evil Disney reason why, like wanting to create new character IP or not wanting to give someone a royalty.
I knew it was gonna be ass as soon as i heard ubisoft. I wish people would just buying their shit so they can go bankrupt but there’ll always be casuals and morons that will fill their pockets.
The game appeals to me, but I don't think I am going to buy it. The physical editions don't actually include the game on the disc, and I bet there is no PC physical version, anyway. The Ultimate Edition is so incredibly expensive for just a couple of files; if it had come with a physical art book, that would be something else. I remember when I got a moderate-quality physical art book FOR FREE as a reservation bonus for a $40 DS game, and that was from a much smaller studio. At the price it's at, the Ultimate Edition should come with a hardcover art book, behind the scenes blu-ray or thumb drive, soundtrack on CD along with download codes for different services, and maybe even a replica of the blaster. Even the Gold Edition is quite expensive. Then there's the bloatware you have to install. Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I think this game will get pirated all to heck. If it wasn't full of so many scummy practices, that wouldn't be the case. Give me a physical PC release where I can install and play from the disc, without any need to install some Ubisoft launcher/storefront. I'm honestly sick of verification codes, too. Plenty of games have been released without intrusive DRM and sold great. Oh, and I think the main character looks fine. I don't need a character creator in every game, either. But Ubisoft went and found other reasons for me to not buy it.
It would not have been any more effort to just make a model of the voice actress. I'd like my escapist fantasy to be escapist fantasy and not "a reflection of the world we live in today." Queue troll in 3....2....1....
Imagine a carefully selected scenes and “makeup” for the story trailer has uncanny and horrible looking models, imagine the full game and how buggy it’ll be
