I have already uninstalled it. It started out strong, but fizzled in the end. I cared less and less about the story, then I was getting into the repetitive game loop. Been there, done that. I'm not wanting to do it again.
Outriders is just yet another example of overhyped game that underdelivers in the end. As a Pole, it hits different (yet another failure after Cyberpunk, though not as big). That being said, be careful with Biomutant hype, Vulkan 🙂 Godfall was supposed to be a good game too. I feel like the chances for "big" titles to be good are like 50%, or even lower in today's gaming industry. There are much more unpolished and often even unfinished games, than the opposite. Apparently, it's way easier to make a shiny, flashy game with no content and polished mechanics, so i guess this trend is here to stay, since most gamers preorder based on how a game looks.
Could have been a gem, will be swiftly forgotten
I hit 200 hours myself and well… a few other games came out and they put out the patch that broke armor. I was so dedicated to farming top tier armor and a deathshield or embalmers…. now I have no desire to play. I was the BIGGEST defender but dude I have 0 motivation to keep going, not until they fully fix this last mess
Spot on video brother. Loved the clear cut explanation
I mean, good job on pumping another shit game, though.
Don’t think anything can save this game, I have over 500 hours in demo and full game, and will likely never touch it again. Now I obviously got my money’s worth no complaints there. However there was a time I still enjoyed and would of kept playing the game, it just has way too many issues overall. That time has passed for me and I thinks it’s passed for a lot of people. I don’t see them making majors changes when they can barely fix what they have and each time they fix something, something else breaks.
Defense mode like in warframe sparks interest
I'm still having problems with phantom hits from enemies,adding native gyro support would help with the bad aiming for controllers that support gyro aiming
#1 Anomaly builds need to be brought more on par with gun builds. It feels like anomaly builds require way more effort and still can't approach the raw power of gun builds.
#2 The skill trees do need an overhaul. There are too many +/- X% type nodes that are boring and contribute to that feeling that all classes generally play the same. Agree that having a final capstone skill unlock for each of the three branches would go a long way.
#3 Need endgame content which rewards tankier builds. Offer a mode without a timer and with a higher challenge that rewards careful play.
#4 Guns need to offer mods that scale with anomaly power or benefit skills.
#5 Set bonuses need to be stronger to encourage using the whole set. Maybe add additional bonuses for 4 and 5 pieces.
they need to fix those damn crashes. cant play 3h in a row without a crash
1. Tone down incoming damage
2. Allow drop pod resources to be exchanged for boosting your character stats
3. Make all legendary weapons and armor customizable in stats, attributes, variants, and both mods
4. Increase drop rate on locked out legendaries
5. Dedicated servers or get rid of multiplayer completely. This lag is unacceptable for a 2021 game
As a person who mainly played solo, just having one self rez like in coop would be game changing. And a personal note I think legendaries should be able to have both mod slots able to be changed if they don’t want to have random rolls. Then making your perfect gear would be easier with legendaries and make it worth using over epics
Downscaling is a big issue for me for solo runs. How is being above a certain level that punishes you for going down a lower tier. I can understand if I was matchmaking with another player who is a lower tier but solo it doesn't make sense.
They need to change a lot of stuff :
– make legendary gear stats higher then epic
– buff all weapons' damage (except AR and A S) I was farming for Techno with freeze DMG and Status effect using Iceberg, threw all skill points in sniper rifles and crit, and still ANY AR deals 4 times more DMG, WTF?!
– let us reroll one stat
– add transmog
– buff all DOT damage
– and all the stuff you said about)
Couldn't agree with you more. Let's hope the devs see your video and take note. Well done, cheers, Harry.
Totally agree with you: first and foremost, fix the bugs + crashes. This is still THE major issue. Then add content/game modes. Personally, I'd like to see some randomness in stages/enemies/bosses. I still enjoy this game a lot, and I believe it has tremendous potential, but it really needs to be more stable.
Sadly I do not believe they will do any of this ASAP. Maybe .. maybe in 2-3 months.
Drop rate. No kicking connection I have spent 30% being connected kicked also just really tired of the problems 300 hours plus A real POS game
There wasn't enough in the end game for me to keep playing, I was good while it lasted
1. Armory 2. More stash space 3. Adventure mode. 4. Get rid of Blighted rounds, I want to switch to a sniper sometimes:) 5. 3 more skill tree points
Yea if they don't drop the static rolls on legendary I have nothing else to do.. I have all the gear sets and legendary weapons and don't even use any of them.. Oh well on to BioMutant lol
Thing Outriders would have to do to get me to reinstall it: Not be Anthem.
The only thing that this game needed was a offline mode nothing else
I figured you were bored with it bro. I haven’t even finished the story.
Yeah. You ain't getting NONE of this champ.
this is not a live service game that will never happen but i agree that they need to fix multiplayer stablity and the rest of the bugs that keep poping up every patch.
That game's not dead yet?
They need to do basically a complete BL3 re do. Simply do as i stated in an earlier video, dump the timer, dump CT and simply add these CT into the exsisting World. Also add modifiers as you stated(ala BL3 with Mayheem mode/ raise the world tier) to all missions. WHYYYYYYY is everyone grinding these boring fck time missions is beyond me. Well, its basically no one and NO ONE EVER WANTED IT.
I have been so happy with my choices with games, I used to get hooked and reeled into buying games, but for the last year I made a decision to wait 2-4 weeks before on deciding to buy a game. I have been disappointed by literally every big game that has come out and have saved over $300 in potential buys. This looks like another game that has been pushed out quickly and has become a big flop 😕
Your video is spot on! If they don't get their act together and listen to content creators like you, then I'm completely done with this game!!
High risk high reward is nice in theory. Running shit for an hour and getting nothing would be a plague on this game, and it doesn't need any help with that.
Idk why ppl keep playing this. It was not complete, it was very broken I lost my character a month ago. This game is crap like cyberpunk anthem 76… we shouldn't keep supporting this stuff… let the game die and force them to do better
What ur asking for here is a live service game and THIS IS NOT ONGOING LIVE SERVICE game…
I just wanna play with my dudes! It was so much fun, but this solo experience and going through the story over and over isn't.
It's dead bro. Let it go
Yeah sounds good but the best thing they can do is say screw it. Fix the game and get it stable and then make it an actual live service game and do seasons and that kinds of things
Modifiers would have to be worked in after some skill changes etc. This would cause too much chaos in an already chaotic game lol
Ya know, enough is enough!!! Just had the game crash twice during the great Trench Town Battle and I saw several pieces of epic gear and none of it auto looted due to the crashes.
I have endured and endured and endured and this time I am done.
Screw this game it is a total disaster in any direction or subject you want to look at.
See ya on the space station in Mass Effect Legendary Edition, then comes BioMutant.
People Can Nerf had their chance, that time is long gone.
Cheers
Kit
Outriders died after the first patch failed to do anything its patch notes said. Now after this most recent patch did more of the same this games completely dead to me and i will NEVER buy a People Can Fly game again after experiencing how inept they are at handling post-launch of an online game.
Glad you mentioned Diablo 3. I was thinking something along those same lines, they should implement something like the D3 seasons where each class has the chance to earn pieces for a certain legendary set by completing tasks. I always enjoyed resetting a character and planning a new build around the set that I was going to earn each season.
