The Outriders Demo is out and while the general response has been good, there are some things we need to talk about. The Demo has seen some criticism for design choices and visual blunders, but does the interesting loot and classes offset those negatives? Let’s find out.

I can't even get this game to work on xbox series x keeps saying connection error
I played as devastator and I don't think I used cover at all 😀
U can't rebind your keys?
Ya i can't play doom games they make me sick
went in with low expectations but left loving the game. But I have a feeling if you are looking to leave those other shooters mentioned like Destiny, the Division and Warframe you are going to be really disappointed
Its been buggy, Devastators ground slam will keep me in place for a few seconds after using it (coop game mode).
I would to be able to do a grab from behind cover!! Or even a takedown!!!
Honestly demo was fun, the game definitely has that destiny, division,gears of war, remnant from the ashes combat and loot and gear grind and mass effect dialogue, all mashed into one and what's also awesome is knowing that while you feel like a badass playing the game the OTHER altereds you fight in the game ARE PRETTY POWERFUL and definitely might take try it two getting used to,this demo really made me think on my feet all the time, and tbh hopefully the story only gets better, I most likely won't pick this up until it's actually finished there is A LOT that needs to get fixed, and honestly even more so THIS GAME NEEDS TO REMAIN PVE ONLY AT ALL TIME'S DO NOT EVER PUT PVP IN THIS GAME IT RUINED DESTINY AND IT RUINED DIVISION!! DO NOT EVER PUT PVP IN THIS GAME FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! DONT!!!! Also the lip syncing in the demo is AWFUL fix that please, TAKE OFF THE MOTION BLUR OR WHATEVER IT IS WHEN UR RUNNING WITH A CHARACTER PLEASE THAT OFF!!!! and as far as the cut scene's go, FIX AND GET RID OF THE SCREEN SHAKE!!!!!!!, Other than that things look great, I will definitely play this for it's story when it's 100% completely finished,bug free, when it's ACTUALLY FINISHED WHEN ITS ACTUALLY DONE
I don't know about the rest of you but character creation sucks Needs more options.
I hate double tap to dodge. Thanks to devs for giving a option to disable it in the menu!
I prefer to bind the dodge to a key so that wasn't a issue for me.
This game is fast paced, skills bound do 1,2,3 seemed clunky, so i set them to Q,E,C and weapons to 1,2,3 plus mouse wheel.
Motion blur is annoying i agree with that.
Other than that i'm loving the game!
I already preorder this game!!! That’s how much I liked the demo..
i'm surprised no mention of verticality, so many obstacles that you should be able to climb where you just get stuck
Seeing peopel using Cover kinda makes me Cringe XD you can literaly go Balistic in this Game since you Heal from Kills
The ONLY complaint I have with this game is the smoothest of the controls, they're a little clunky. Not like The Division or or even Anthem's. I had to make the camera sensitivity high and the aim sensitivity low just to get it to feel better. Shooting feels weak, like weapons have no weight to them. Asides from that I'm loving the combat mechanics and the story! The abilities are very fun and I'm loving the loot.
I struggled with keyboard until i found a few things, double space is smart action so you can jump over things or dodge if you hold a direction, you can also double klick the directional key to dodge that way. After i got a bit time with it it started working. I just struggled with the cover system it felt like division in the start just you could not round covers. Im guessing these things will be patched as time goes same as division fixed their issues.
Can’t even play it lol
I do agre3 the loot is fun. Offer lots of playerpower. This is basicly a much better mass effect 4
Also there is no xbox controller remap option. Hope they add the option to remap
Just played the demo …its a horrible clunky game but more so the aiming, see the division did it great but it was a slower speed of movement..this shit be moving at 100mph , unless you have target nearest enemy site/aim I'm o u t lmao 🤣
Division players get ready for the farm and build!!
The good the bad and the mordekai
A friend of mine who has NOT played the Division or Gears of war really enjoys it, i'm on the fence at the moment probably going to be a wait for it to go on sale before purchase 😉
Wish ppl would talk about the netcode. It’s peer based so one player host and that is horrible. I would literally be locked into skills like gravity leap. I would land and be stuck and able to take damage. Needs to be fixed because in a fast pace shooter will destroy this game. Mass effect had this and it killed the mp for me and most ppl I talked to
The bubble stack with 3 tricksters will be the meta. It’s nuts
Once I started playing pretending cover doesn't exist it felt a lot better. I could always just dip out of los if fire got to heavy and then let enemies come to me for my powers to wipe out. I am bothered by the lack of a jump though. It's not a serious complaint but any game I play where my feet are stuck to the ground always feels weird.
i thought i was going to really dislike the trickster and saved it for last to play. It's my second favorite now and during streaming there was alot laughing and excitement as i teleported, slowed time and sliced my way to victory good times. My first play through will be pyro and then trickster. was lucky enough to find two legendaries thus far
Imgur repetitively confusing the concepts surrounding beta tests are open beta tests and the cons of surrounding a demo the concept of letting you play a certain class this week in a certain class next week and so on and so forth is a beta testing concept doesn’t happen in demos ever demos either let you played in full-blown game for a certain period of time or they let you play a certain character for an old 20 minutes or something but they rarely ever limit you to one class you can play on any given week that’s a beta testing thing
Yeah dude it’s only legendary’s that are unique every salt life rifle looks the same from mama you know anything but the character sheet every LMG looks the same pretty much except for MacKerricher she now shotgun seem to have their own differing identity but most of the auto shotguns look the same most of the pump shotguns look the same the only thing that has its own unique identity is the legendary’s and if you ask me that’s the one thing if you’re going to compare it to destiny that’s the one thing that every time I see one of those legendary’s I think yeah that kind of reminds me of destiny the character sheet and the legendary’s
Call that I wish PC players bad but it’s about time but not justice game but a number of games are starting to realize that Consol players make up the biggest majority of gamers and we always get the fucked up control layout that is impossible and I’ll I’ll controller some of the best games out there are just in my opinion not playable on a controller but then some very similar games and I’m not gonna mention either of the two examples I’m thinking of right now we’re designed for a controller very similar to the game but I can’t play but that game was designed for consoles and this game was designed for consuls to lots of games were seemingly are seemingly being designed for consoles now
Yeah dude I’m you don’t double tap to go over cover you push one button OK you’re going to cover with one bike or your vault cover with one button or if you’re in cover you leave cover by moving forward and touching one bun I mean you can just leave cover which will just stand you up or you can leave covered by vaulting it by moving forward and push one button the control steam though is very controller centric and it’s about fucking time to developers of these games realized but they were leaving a whole market out that would play their game but for the shitty controller scheme or the way overloaded controller scheme like black desert I mean Jesus ChristThat is a nightmare game to control with a consul controller
It’s not opinion based I mean yes sir lots of opinions but it’s just a practice game is way better on a controller than a keyboard anybody says different is just delusional or they’re in denial and you better get used to it because it’s what’s going to happen more and more especially with this next generation of consoles out
Dude this game is linear OK every white arena or room that you enter if you wanna call it a room every battleground you enter is linear vanities are on one and you’re on the other end are you going to get something is coming around on your right side you still don’t want to round cover to your left because their snipers down there they were going to pick you up and knock you out a cover so well it would be nice if that division style rounding was possible it’s really not appropriate in this game it really doesn’t even make sense the best bet instead of rounding is simply moving from one cover to another another
How many corners doesn’t help you with your taxes with fire tornadoes they go right through everything you can’t round the corner away from that you can just run that’s only way to get away from it roll or run
What about dialogue? Man, I'm enjoying the game but the dialogue is so bad. The Mr.Chang moment is awful. There is 0 (zero) explanation of what is going on, go in for tea, bad guy shows up shots Chang, you kill the dude that killed Chang. Nothing.
riiigth. dude talks about gear been unique, yet everyone who played demo knows that it's mostly just a re-skin of what you got before. makes you think who sponsored him
It was alright but the nothing special. Doubt I'll purchase but I'll give it a whirl if it comes to Gamepass
does it feel different enough from everything else on the market tho ..
During my time playing I noticed that cover isn't so much you as it is for the enemies. It's almost like a reversal of ideals. The game shines once you realize that they want you running around like a maniac instead of hopping from cover to cover, which is sad, because the Technomancer, being the long range spec, really relies on the cover system to work…
audio is by far the biggest complaint i had with the demo, lines being repeated or skipped or out of sync
Technomancer
Sorry but now that completely gutted the looting part of it the game is totally not worth your time if you enjoy getting loot. Just let it die till it officially comes out or they change it.
I personally enjoy it. The Trickster class is a lot of fun.
I agree with the keyboard layout 100%! BUT you can rebind almost all of those. putting my guns on 1, 2 and 3 and all my skills on mouse buttons helped a lot. also made ctrl my cover button and Space my roll button. Game feel a lot better after doing that
