Comments
In Outlaws if you ignore side quests early on and just do main story missions you get that speeder boost pretty early and are able to go through the wind tunnels right away. I didn't have any issue with that but I'm also mainlining the story.

2024-09-06 22:58:39 +0000 UTCI'm quite enjoying Star Wars Outlaws, but I'm playing on PC. This seems like an RTX/DLSS game through and through. The whole chat about "muddy controls" left me particularly perplexed. I'm playing with a plain old Xbox Series controller. It also sounds so strange that anyone would consider paying $70 or more for this or any other Ubisoft game. Get a month of Ubisoft+ for around $20 instead, and you get all DLCs, the most ultra edition they offer, everything. Surely you can finish it in a month.

2024-09-06 18:40:41 +0000 UTCI’m only a hour in, I found Kay to be insufferable. Like, she screws over literally evryone who worked with her on Cato and she believes it’s not REALLY her fault. All her problems will go away with that one big job, even though she has shown zero ability to handle any of it. Hell, she even says she would feed Nix and the barkeep had to do it. I am honestly hoping there is character development with her later where she isn’t such a self centered prick.

2024-09-06 04:26:01 +0000 UTCI find the arguments against Star Wars Outlaws to be in bad faith (French keyboard be damned!). It's an OK stealth game. That doesn't sound like a valid complaint to me. BOTW puts no automatic markers on the map & ppl don't complain about that.
