I was super hyped even had plans to buy the game day one and play it hardcore. THIS GAME IS NOT GOOD.
Only way this prologue could be more disrespectful of your time is if they patch in an MGS codec
I found this game fun as hell to play. I'm really confused as to why Aoife and Ian were so insanely angry at this game the whole time. 😔
Video had a bizarrely bad vibe considering the channel.
How done Aoife was with this game gave me a pretty good chuckle.
Thanks for playing this so we don't have to.
so, outriders isn't what we were hoping. There is a similar game I can 100% recommend: Remnant from the ashes.
Not a lot of story, a whole lot of different enemies, gear, and encounters, a soulslike with guns and abilities with satisfying progress and a solid power fantasy. It will be free soon on playstation, it used to be on gamepass, it was free in august on epic.
This is like a weird parody of bad game design and bad film making from 2010
I actually feel sick watching it
This game is what I imagine an Asylum mockbuster sequel to Starship Troopers would be like if Asylum made videogames.
And people can fly and square enix seriously put the anthem logo I'm one of the aesthetics for character creation which means they knew a while ago the anthem was going to fail which really pisses me off to know that thinking that biore must have thought that this game was going to be so great that they canceled anthem hoping it would take that this game would take our minds off of that just sickens me to think of everything that's happening in the game industry right now yeah very underwhelmed from this game will not pre-order probably will wait for it to be on sale very very cheaply
I blame Ian Higton for this game. They saw the popularity of his Terrorflops videos and leant right into that aesthetic
This looks dull af.
"Hold (ロ) to skip" – The Game
Sometimes I wonder how games like this aren't stopped earlier in development.
It doesn't even have some retro vibe or anything to set it apart from, I don't know, Generic Shooter 2012.
Even if it's only one guy funding and deciding everything, there's got to be a limit to what you can release.
If there's one positive thing I can draw from watching you guys play/watch this, I guess it's that I won't have to do it.
Squaresoft / Enix needs to jettison Eidos / western Square before it loses too much money
This video is just them hating on a demo it's a demo to me at least it isn't like all the other games we've had for the past 10 years give me money and wait and find out or devs that don't care about there community destiny, division, anthem ect.
Thanks for saving me money
Some really squandered potential here I think. Some interesting concepts, but it feels like the devs were trying way to hard to chase the "dark and gritty realism" trend rather than allowing the game to have its own identity.
This game demo is a generic Sci-Fi disaster with shit voice acting and even shittier story telling. It goes to show how much team Eurogamer is loved that so many people were willing to sit through the entire thing. 🖤
Wow, this game is bad.
Someone should have told these guys (10 years ago!) that a plethora of cut scenes does not make role playing game. The acting is stiff and you are offered few if any conversation points. Its all been done (as Aoife observed) before so many times and better. Thanks guys for suffering through this. Definitely saving my money and going back to play another run of Cyberpunk 2077 instead.
Omg Aoife in the title screen is everything! The image of fierceness 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That was what? 40 mins of cutscenes right from the get go? Complete with stupid and unnecessary British-accented villain with vague and evil motivations, against all-American howdy-doodle space cowboy heroes? Blech.
This is the most derivative videogame I've EVER seen in my entire life
I feel like they should have googled Enoch before they named the planet
…….very Xbox360 Gears of War…….
I thought you guys were being a little harsh at first but after the time skip where everything turned beige and the powers turned out to not be very interesting, well we were in agreement.
it's like they took elements from all the top tier xbox360 games and combined the all in a half assed way.
This game manages to make Mass Effect : Andromeda look REALLY good^^ what a waste of resources
Hahaha 3:35, look at the character grimace after the porn comment
Having played some of the demo, about what you guys played, I concur with Aoifa’s apathy towards it.
I was excited for this demo. Not so much anymore
LOL “Eyes up Guardian” i mean Outriders
This game looks like it would have been generic and boring in 2009.
This seems like another Terrorflop
No one going to mention one-eyed woman's over-starched, rock solid ponytail?
"I didn't know it was the weekend already" Cheekily looks at camera for a reaction Oh Ian!!!
How have you got a vaccine already? Your young.
Seems a standard game, nothing to write home about. Sounds like Aoife really wants new elements though in games or they can just go away and stop wasting her time lol.
I watch so many ppl whose first impulse is cover when that's solo not what u should do
The covers ment for the enemy not u
"Rusty Pump Action" – Ian's Porn Name
this looked so pretty until it became a generic brown and grey 00s cover shooter
My fav type of Eurogamer vid is when the sass is dialed up to 100 😂
swans in like Danny DeVito
…DERIVATIVE!
swans out again
Ive got destiny why do i need this
Watching this, I got a sudden urge to check the ME3 servers for activity…
Ian: How bizarre.
Me having spent too much time on tiktok: How bizarre, how bizarre 🎶
This is why I believe it will fail because it's not a traditional looter shooter. This game will be better off to be just a regular single player game like ghost of tsushima.
The point of a looter shooter you kill enemies you collect loot you build up your character you level up your character just like games like Destiny games like Borderlands division. Warframe would fit that category but their system is a little different their progression is a little bit different. It's only called a looter shooter for Warframe because there are some enemies you kill that drop you loot such as Necromechs.
These are the outline reasons why I believe outriders will fail and maybe a month or 3 months from now it's going to get a reboot:
– you don't get loot from when you kill enemies.
-You have to speed run through content in order to get the most rewards possible from the activity.
-Not to mention sqaure said multiple times that there are multiple bugs that causes items to disappear from your inventory and they still haven't tried to address some of these issues in the latest update.
Most importantly square wants people to pay $60 for a game that they are not even confident will be successful. Like what they said last week on a Q&A, they will only add future content if they make enough money and if there is enough repeatable players playing the game.

I want the game to secede but honestly it's not with this kind of loot design. Even in the demo people get tired of grinding the same side quest to get loot over and over. Yet again in the final game they want people to follow the same design of something that people dislike in the demo.
Disclaimer I played over 100 hours of the demo I completed the demo of every content available for each character. So I'm not basing my opinion on playing a few hours I played a chunk load of the offer content
Bad
So this game was announced for Game Pass, which means it’ll be effectively free to play!
…I think I’ll give it a miss.
