It‘s no brand thing. It‘s just a reaction on the way Ubisoft releases games these days and yes, the game could have been better but without the Star Wars-tag, it wouldn‘t have been noticed at all.
Agree. I played the shit out of this game and it was good. But it could have been so much better. All the ships and weapons and planets in the star wars universe and we get 1 ship and 1 weapon and 4 meh planets. So many missed opportunities that could have made this game great.
💯! Alone KOTOR 1 and 2 in a remastered version would be something worth dying for - never stop dreaming! 🙏🏻
It's almost like if I'm constantly fed slop I avoid it
Disney killed the franchise by releasing slop year after year. Also by letting Ubisoft make a Star Wars game.
Could it be waning interest in the Ubislop formula?
No, it's the gamers who are wrong!
I don’t even hate the Ubisoft formula, but it’s, like, dawg…. Try something new. I go years without being interested in the schlog, then I get really into one. But it’s astounding that they’re still putting out the same game for over a decade now. The trimmings might be a little spruced and fluffed here and there but the core loop is still the same fucking game, again and again and again.
Yeah, I played AC Odyssey and the DLC a while back, and I'm still burnt out on Assassin's Creed about 4 years later.
It just seems designed to sap as much of your time as possible. Like an MMO but without any tangible benefit for them doing so.
And then they have the balls to sell items in game that speed up the gameplay.
I was level capped before I even touched the DLC. I ignored everything that was generated rather than having some story to it. There's just a lot of game there. Too much, in fact.
I just don't know who the funbucks shop is even for. It's not like you can even show it off online because it's single player...
Maybe there's a lot of rich kids out there who's parents say yes to any request. I can't imagine there are single player purchase "whales" like in multiplayer games.
Waning interest in Ubisoft. Everything they touch is painfully generic and uninteresting. On top of that, they infect the games with Denuvo malware while charging top dollar. But sure, blame the consumers for your lack of vision, passion, business sense, and technical acumen. See how that pays off, Yves.
It's really sad. I truly believe that Yves (or rather the Guillemots in general) were passionate about game development once. Now it feels mostly corporate, even though they still claim to be pro-gamer and innovative and fun. It's double sad because they acquired quite some good studios that have to be shaped into their corp structure and ultimately lose their innovation. It's not as bad as old-school EA, but it's still subjectively bad.
A) And yet, not long after, Andor was massively successful.
B) Then stop making games exclusively based off of third party IPs.
A) And yet, not long after, Andor was massively successful.
Andor was awesome in addition to being successful. It feels weird when those two things coincide.
That's part of it for sure. It's grimdark. Read: boring.
Forever locked in a Jedi vs Sith binary. And it is the highest of heresy to dare imagine anything beyond it.
How is Star Wars even remotely grimdark? That's just a wild criticism.
And the game you're talking about literally has no Jedi or Sith at all, it's entirely about the regular people of the galaxy.
The worst bit is reflecting on how the first movie portrayed it all.
A horrific empire, but a secret mysterious force, not believed in by many, that can help you fight it. Classic warriors using heavy swords in an age of laser rifles.
I don't even really know what the message around the force was in The Last Jedi. I didn't even bother watching Force Awakens.
Only a Sith deals with absolutes!
Star wars should be in the public domain by now
Couldn’t care less about the games.
Couldn’t care less about the shows.
If a movie comes out, even a terrible one, I’ll be there.
Andor is the best thing the series has ever done, including every movie.
And the animated Clone Wars series is a close second
This last season came out swinging with their wardrobe budget. The first 2 episodes I think we just kept talking about how much we liked outfits
All they have to do is get the same guys that did the trailers for KoTOR and they'd see very good things come out of it. They're just trying to milk it every way they can so that they can hold on to something now that they're losing all their OG IPs to public domain.
You mean SWTOR rather than KOTOR?
I tried it in May/June and it was very meh. At the start I had an urge to play it, but after a day or two I had no urge to open it. A lot of it felt repetitive to a point of why bother.
No it's because it was shite,poorly written and lousy with weird polical shit and terrble gameplay.
Wasn't it more that the game was a buggy mess? No that can't have been it it was clearly the fans fault.
