  1. Not generally my kind of game, but looked at the demo after seeing it on one of Nvidia's DLSS adverts. Co-op crossplay? Yes please.

    Played it with a couple of friends I don't usually get to co-op with because they're on PS4's. About a 65% chance we'll all pick it up just for the crossplay.

  2. I actually liked the game. I surprised at the gore(I was happy). It needs some polish, but still got me excited for mine.
    I was surprised how the "tank" plays, I LOVED it but the teleport was AWESOME!?!

  3. The frame issues amd the aiming are the only thing holding this game back. Also am I the only one tired of all the excessive swearing in games? Its like everyone talks like a rebellious teenager.

  4. I will disagree about the dialogue being a gimmick. The game tells you which one progresses the QUEST, but the others are there to give you the OPTION to learn about the lore and world of the game. Often even, the NPC's actually have interesting things to say that answer questions and make the world more interesting. I'd hardly call just being able to learn more stuff a "Gimmick" If anything, games with fake "moral" choice are the actual gimmick.

    In regards to the grounded thing, I REALLY hope they add DLC later that gives you the ability to fly into the air and crash back down or something. Would be hype as hell. haha

  5. Was unable to join other groups and when my girlfriend invited me to her group it didn’t work even though I was set to open. She was able to join me though.
    Not sure if it’s just an Xbox issue but it was a big negative.
    If they fix that I might spend my money on it.

  6. fine for those that are bored with all the other looter shooters, but unless they have actual content laid out and ready to go, hard pass here. been through this game development cycle enough times to know how that trip goes. hard pass.

  7. There's an armor mod for the technomancer for decaying rounds that refills a percentage of the mag when you get a kill with decaying rounds active.
    I recommend folks combine this with a pump-action shotgun or bolt action sniper for fun times.

  8. After finishing each of the quests available for the Outriders demo Outriders was an automatic buy for me too! I'm having a blast with my pyromancer outrider avatar and wish to demo had more to it yet I appreciate Outriders's demo as a demo because it last playthrough wise two to three hours while most demos on the other hand only twenty to thirty minutes! Outriders is like Destiny, The Division, and Gears of War merged into one juggernaut of a fresh IP. I look forward to what the full game has in store! Great video btw!

  9. This is how I found Rippa’s content. When he was trashing TLOF2 video after video and then I got curious for more of his content and found the politics. So I stayed, have learned a lot.

  10. Me and my two buddies that played through it did not like it very much. Especially the dialogue. There were a few times we asked ourselves is this even real? After we best the last main mission I noticed we still had one side mission. The one to save LT McCain. I said hey guys we still got one more thing to do…..nah we are going to jump on path of exile now. Couldn't even get them to play 10 more minutes. These are two guys who played through both divisions and all borderlands games so are looter shooter fans.

  11. As always your game insight is thoughtful and in-depth. I found myself loving the gameplay despite some jankiness. But I’ve played all four characters now up to the max demo level. And I still want to play to get better gear. Love that demo progress will continue on to main game.

  12. i think is alright, some character went out of character too much on some moments, and some classes skills are weird to get onto enemies or make synergy with, i dont think is worth the full price by what it is in the demo, also shaky camera on cinematics is annoying af.

  13. Loved the review, subscribed. Enjoying the demo and loving the creativity of the weapons since there is no pvp atm, a PVE looter shooter dungeon crawler can be all kinds of crazy fun. Hoping that we get some random generated replays ( like a specific story point would spawn different enemies on replays).
