I thought it looked incredible. It wasn’t on my radar until yesterday now I’m excited.

My only reservation is that it seems to follow the trend of having the protagonist be constantly being quippy with the the sidekick which is annoying after a while.

That's star wars to a T

I'm not the biggest fan of Ubisoft, which is why it's confusing that I'm a little excited for this one.

That being said, I will definitely be careful and wait for sale, still knowing the publisher.

Also if it isn't on Steam, it'll have to be even cheaper.

I also have reservations regarding Ubisoft, but this is as close to Star Wars 1313 as we're gonna get now. It's so refreshing to not be a Jedi in a star wars video game.

We must be cautious!

May the cautiousness be with you.

It also gives me big star wars ragtag vibes too

I’m sure it’ll be on Steam. No achievements and shitty UbiConnect requirements on top of it, too.

I know basically nothing about this game but I'm completely burned out on the Ubisoft open world model of a huge map completely littered with mindless collectible junk and grindy side-quests. Is there reason to hope that this will be different than the same junk Assassin's Creed and Far Cry have been pushing out, or are most expecting the same thing in a Star Wars setting?

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I'm certain a year or two so they talked about how they had started to amalgamate features from their games across the board and how is stifled in house creativity (I've got no source on this at the moment but I'm sure i remember this) and how they're going to be starting to move away from that.

If this is true then this is likely one of the first games to try and move away from that stone this would likely have been started after that was said.

I'm skeptical, but not enough to write it off completely just yet. Definitely skeptical enough to not preorder, though.

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

You should never preorder games anyway, you should always wait for actual customer reviews to back up what the big reviewers say

I haven't sat down to watch the trailer yet, but if this is basically The Division with a Star Wars skin, I won't be mad at it.

[-] RobotDeathSquad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Seems to have more actual story to it than the Division does at least from the trailer. I thought it was going to be Far Cry based and was then surprised to see the studio.

[-] notun@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know why people think Massive is somehow more independent than other Ubisoft studios. They've worked on both the Assassin's Creed and Far Cry games just like every other studio owned by Ubisoft.

[-] RobotDeathSquad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I honestly have no idea how independent the various studios are.

[-] detinu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Isn't it more likely that it'll just be a Ubisoft open world game full of bloat?

[-] Tagger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Do ubisoft generally play nicely with game pass?

[-] briongloid@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago

They have released games on Game Pass, including Assassin's Creed, but they have a deal with Sony which would likely take precedent.

[-] Tagger@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, shame - thanks for replying!
