Outriders: I Should Hate This (But I Don’t)



Outriders (PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox) has taken the internet by storm. Despite its appearance and some flaws, it’s pretty fun? It’s hard to explain why, but I’m going to try.

  1. looking forward to hearing what you guys think. It's far from perfect, but it gets better with time. Still not everyone's cup of tea – but hey, the conversation is interesting!

  2. I like playing it because it feels like gears of War and I never got to play those on playstation plus mass effect with all the abilities and a little of borderlands with the skills.

  3. You keep playing because there’s nothing else to play currently….it all sucks, devs care more about money and will crank out a POS rather than put the time and effort into creating something for posterity

  4. I had exactly the same experience. For some bizarre reason, I like this game. Destiny or Warframe didn't hook me, even though their stories were good. I hate servers and their issues, and I could not play this game for 2 days when it launched. But I came back to it expecting to be mildly entertained, and I ended up having a blast. My conclusion is this: the combat is really, really fun. The story is passable, the levels are linear and the dialogue is bro bulshit but the combat rocks. It gets my adrenaline pumping whenever I'm surrounded by tons of enemies and my tank build really feels like a tank. And, after all, that's what games really should be: fun.

  5. It's the combat for me. I hated this game at first then I changed my class to the trickster and jumped back in. Chaining abilities together is just so satisfying and I am running to the next story markers just to get back into a fight.

  6. Why are some ppl comparing looter shooters to avengers? Avengers isn't a shooter, it's an action rpg, the only similarity is it has a rarity based loot system but so does a lot of rpgs that ppl don't call looter shooters

  7. Haters can talk smack about the story, characters and world all they want but those aren't the reasons why I love outriders, obviously the combat and character progression and loot system are the main focuses of the game and why I love it so much

  8. I downloaded the game because of game pass beginning of the game was kinda slow didn't think I would like it but once I learned the mechanics can't stop playing the game world tier and crafting options are nice it wasn't really hype till it came out so you wasn't anticipating nothing and when you jump in its like man this a cool game

  9. The short answer is FUN. It's silly B-Movie action with an extremely deep Modding system. Some bits are crap, but they disappear when you get to Endgame, leaving you in a playground of Mods and 4 characters to try…..
    And in regards to Avatar….Outriders is pure UNOBTANIUM!

  10. Thanks for this Jake. I like Avatar too, and I'm quite sure, from my research such as your video, I will like Outriders too, however, I am waiting for it to go on Sale. £50 seems a high price for a non live service game, but I appreciate the amount of work that went into it. It's a shame it's rough in some areas, and thanks for giving some hope on the story being compelling, I'm just skeptical of the payoff from what SkillUp said about it. Sci Fi is difficult to get right, but when it is right, it's glorious. Thanks again for your insight.

  11. Destiny 2 has been losing players slowly over time, so I think there’s a market for players that appreciate this type of game that have been displaced by D2 (even though the games aren’t very similar, other than it’s foundation).

  12. Finishing up the platinum and im still hooked! And that's so damn rare. It gets more balanced around world tier 9. I love fine tuning my rotation and blowing stuff up. Looking forward to what the devs will do with this in the future.
