re: Seems like every positive Twitter review for Star Wars: Outlaw is from a "pronouns in bio"

Yeesh... a game that's 100% stealth that only gives you 3 tools within the stealth?

That's sounds abysmally boring.

Again, Microsoft owns Bethesda, but they had nothing to do with the development of Starfield.

My point is I don't think this is indictive of the overall quality of Ubisoft projects. I'm sure they had input but Massive is it's own studio and can handle game development.

So you blame Microsoft for Starfield's short comings?

I liked Starfield

Bethesda has certain flaws that come baked into the cake.

Nothing in Starfield surprised me after the Elder Scrolls and Fallouts

With as many bugs it shipped with, I don’t think their testers did either.

Western devs need to learn from the orientals and quit making ugly arse fricking characters. Get real

Skill Up didn't give it a recommend but it was fairly close to a recommend. If you like Ubisoft games, I think there is enough for those folks to enjoy it. It doesn't appear to be the outright bomb that the negative youtubers are saying it is. That would be Rings of Power season 2.

I actually liked the main character as well as most of the side characters.

The main story had some pretty entertaining setpieces.

The stealth and the overreliance on it was pretty bad though. The stealth honestly reminded me of Plague Tale Innocence more than Assassin's Creed which was pretty weird.

The faction system ended up being kind of a nothing burger tbh. It essentially amounts to being able to move around certain areas without being shot at, but past the first few hours, the game kinda forgets about all that in lieu of having you fight Stormtroopers for the overwhelming majority of the game.

Outside of a handful of handcrafted side missions, most of the side content felt like it was a radiant quest in Skyrim.

I'd say the boring open world and lack of interesting activities or motivation to explore was its worst aspect.

Temmin Wexley from the Aftermath trilogy is in the game only it feels like they aged him up about 10 years and changed his race. The age up may have just been because the developers didn't feel like designing a child character model

So they are trying to be woke. Kind of weird to hate something you are.

At which point you’ve defined “woke” to include “endeavoring to be kind to your fellow humans” and declared anything and everything “woke” to be inherently bad at best and inherently evil at worst, maybe it’s time for a bit of soul searching and self reflection.

Hope you sold your UbiSoft stock.

Don’t own any, outside of VTSAX. Well done on outing yourself as having absolutely nothing useful or interesting to say, though

Yes, the pronoun wars are bordering on religion for some of they/them/us at this point. At the same time, some they/them/us just pretend we don’t care all that much, so we don’t understand you all having a totally normal reaction when we see people making “minor” concessions to make mentally unstable people happy

---

Let’s say that I accept your proposition for the sake of argument. Normal people make minor concessions to make mentally unstable happy all the fricking time. In fact, the more mentally unstable someone is, the more it’s expected that people will make even major concessions around them. I could give countless examples, but I’m disinclined because I have a feeling it would bog us down in detail. But I don’t think any reasonable person can deny my overarching premise
