WORST Game of 2021 (So Far) | An Outriders Critique

by



Outriders is the most bland, generic shooter I’ve played in years. A game somehow worthy of a 40 minute long critique, video essay, review, whatever. It’s buggy, repetitive, obscenely long, and has the most depressing story since The Last of Us Part 2. Just play Destiny 2 instead of this garbage.

  1. Yeah…this video is extremely long, I know. I wanted to cut it down more, but too many criticisms were directly related to others or didn't make sense without context. At least you guys can skip around with the "chapters" feature. I finally looked up how to use it.

    Next review will be Resident Evil 5, I expect that one to be a little controversial, knowing the RE fandom.

  3. I agree. Didn't care for this game, but got sucked in by graphics and a sale. I regret buying it. Boring, bland, generic shooter
    I'll never play again. I should have
    trusted my instincts.

  19. I hate it when people find an entirely optional and avoidable thing in a single player game that is over powered and then do it anyway and complain about it. Like the ability to move legendaries abilities to other equipment. If you think that takes away from the uniqueness of other equipment, don't do that! If you think headshots are over powered in Far Cry 6 don't do that. If you think crafting is too abusable in Skyrim don't do it. It's all optional.

  23. You think this is the most bland and generic shooter youve played in years, then I can tell by your age you haven't played many video games at all. You were still in your daddy's left testicle while I was already burning through NES and SNES games. LOL

  25. I would rather have weapon rarity based on Borderlands games (preferably BL2) with legendary weapons having special effects, but mainly because it’s better than Destiny’s power level/light level as you could get high light level but stats are sh!t. However in destiny, the higher your light level, the more content is open for you such as heroic missions and raids.

  29. I'll be honest; the endgame focus is what ruins these games. I know, I know, SOME people love it, and I'm not saying it shouldn't exist, but when you play through the entire game and get mostly garbage, not really getting to fully engage with the game, because that's all being saved for the hyper-repetitive endgame, it ironically creates the very excuse they use for that decision–few people make it that far because they made it too boring, but they think it just proves that they should cater only to those that do. I still managed to enjoy the Borderlands games, but far less than other people because I got to enjoy so little of the high-tier stuff. But do I want to play with those guns and mechanics so bad that I replay the game 7 times and grind superbosses? Fuck no. Leave that shit to actual MMOs.
