I like it and will be buying it at launch. Trickster is so far my favorite class. Looking forward to the full game
Coming from a purely solo perspective here, it feels like a cover based shooter where cover barely works. Combat feels like the weirdest parts of Anthem, story feels lacking as well as voice acting. And I freaking hate every character. No one is likable, AT ALL. And it's hard to give a damn about the story if you just want them all to fail. Also as someone who loved Gears of War, Anthem (despite it's issues I had fun), Mass Effect, this game feels like it should be a win for me but it's just… not. Worth trying out, might be better with friends, but it think it could improve on all aspects. Hopefully it does get a lot more polished before release but as of right now, not into it.
Edit to add: The one aspect I always despise about looter shooters is it feels like you can't play the way you want. Playing a sniper class and not finding a sniper rifle in the midst of picked up a thousand assault rifles and shotguns, really make you feel like you have to chase the DPS.
I will compare this game to Outer Worlds – ppl expected gemstone because great Devs and graphics but gameplay was meh ( RIP ) . Now just after death of Anthem and failures of Destiny, death of Avenger ppl want another Looter Shooter just like them but this game is generic, even boring, trying to mix division + Gears of War and Anthem in one but maps and story are HORRIBLE and hype will burry this game just like Cyberpunk
Its better than I thought. The dialog and acting was a little too "bro" for me but ill definitely give the demo some more time today to see if ill consider buying it.
Classes are unbalanced. Also, really annoying how almost all enemies drop grenades with large aoe upon death.
I liked it more than any of the other looter shooters I've played.
So far my biggest gripe is the lack of being able to use/climb much of the environment….wish it was a bit more traversible, and felt less invisible wall-ish.
I've played all 4 classes. Started with the Technomancer, then Devastator, then Pyromancer. Liked all 3 but really loved the Pyromancer.. Saved the Trickster until last because I thought it was going to be a weaker class. Boy was I wrong. The trickster in my opinion seemed to be the most deadly. It allowed me to play the most aggressive, non stop in the enemies faces the whole time. I don't think I went into cover once with the Trickster. Still haven't looted a Legendary yet though. 🙁
Honestly I agree with you 100% I think there's definitely potential as soon as I figured out the game was played and the loot progression how world tiers actually worked I couldn't stop playing I'm mad there isn't more to the demo had a blast playing. The purest lootet and shooter rpg in a while. No convulted story. It is cringey but it kinda makes me laugh sometimes and then sometimes I do care about what's going on but all in all this isn't what I expected but better definitely going to buy
I enjoyed the game demo i will be getting this for free and Returnal on PS5 physical copy.
Fextralife: "Could it finally bury anthem?"
Me: "who the fuck plays anthem?"
Expectations went down the drain after playing the demo. Was just talking it up at work the past 2 weeks, and then my hopes were dashed. Oh well, I hope it sells well for the devs.
i like it
The game does itself a disservice in the prologue by having you hide behind cover and shoot training dummies. It sets you up to think the game is about ducking behind walls and moving between fortified points, and so people compare it to The Division and others like it. This game is a run'n'gun, and once I started playing it like one, I got hooked.
Your build will be based off of your combination of equipment mods, which you will fine tune through crafting. Even without the ability to mod weapons, I'm able to juggle gear to make very basic builds. The skill tree is not interesting, because it doesn't really change how skills behave outside of numerical buffs. I wish it had things like keystone nodes from POE or Diablo 3's runes which fundamentally changed how certain mechanics worked, because that's what leads to build-defining decisions and novel player behavior.
When my buddy and I were playing together, we definitely noticed synergies between the classes, and had a lot of fun supporting each other with different combos. I would have ignored the game if not for the demo, and I'm glad I gave it a go.
I couldn't quite figure out why because as you mentioned it's rough around the edges but I really enjoyed myself.
Went into the demo with low exceptions from being burned out from the looter shooters and ended up loving the demo. Have 3 of the 4 classed maxed out. Surprised on how much I liked the narrative
I still think division has a better combat loop. The outriders just feels a bit off.
The Diablo comparison is apt and after you mentioning totally see it now. I think that the gear has the chance to be pretty special in the full game, already seeing drops with gear abilities that seem way too powerful for the typical low-level gear curve, higher level stuff should be pretty nuts. Also, I'll be interested to see if the higher world tiers offer new mechanics as well or just spongier enemies in greater quantities.
It reminds me of Hellgate: London
And there are sets from some of the wikis I've read.
looks fun!
Played the demo. Love it so far. Look forward to the full game and would probably have no problem with paying for future ,good , dlc
Other than a boring level design and mediocre graphics, the game was fun and I’m looking forward to the full game.
So far the game has some issues that really can't be allowed into the full release, but playing Outriders for what it is rather than what people expect it to be has been oddly satisfying.
the biggest problem I have with loot is that all the guns in a given type or subtype is that they are the EXACTLY THE SAME stat wise
This game is great – the motion blur made me sick tho
