Star Wars Outlaws doesn't let you free aim and fire from your speeder because Massive didn't want you to "feel as if you can ride in and assault people"

Destiny had the same thing... If you could shoot from the Sparrow there'd be no reason to do anything else.

I figured there was enough already to complain about, but if this is now what we’re complaining about, I start to think the game isn’t as bad as it’s being made out to be.
It really isn't a bad game.
I'm 7 hours in and having a blast (pun intended). It's an alright game if you're not into SW, it's an awesome game if you are. Reminds me a lot of Hogwarts Legacy, the game didn't bring anythinbg new to the market, but it's fun if you're into the theme.
There have been a few technical difficulties but nothing as bad as games I played before, which got much higher ratings and didn't get blasted for it as hard as people do with this game.
People just really let their hate for Ubisoft take over and jump on that social bandwagon for internet points, even though the game plays barely like any other Ubisoft game I've played in the past 30 years.
I bet later today Metacritic user reviews will be flooded with people who haven't even played the game and just base their entire opinion on a few buggy game clips.
Why do you assume that any bad review is from someone who hasn't played the game? People are allowed to have negative opinions just as much as people are allowed to have positive ones.
Just because you are enjoying the game doesn't mean that everyone else has to too.
I never said I assume that every bad review is from someone who hasn't played.
But you can't ignore the insane amount of hate Ubisoft is getting for the most insignificant non-issues just because they're Ubisoft. It takes like a few seconds to notice how the troll armies are linking stuff from various clickbait YouTubers and streamers on social media, and no doubt a vast majority of negative feedback is coming from there.
I'm not ignoring the legit issues this game has, because they are definitely present. And I'm doing my part in reporting them to Ubisoft, instead of making trollposts about it on social media, so we can all enjoy a better game. Sadly that isn't part of the majority's crusade against Ubisoft, they're just out there farming internet points, banking on the circlejerk hate.
I can almost guarantee that the upcoming Metacritic user reviews are a prime example of "Hue hue Ubisoft bad".
Why do you feel the need to defend a large company from a negative image that they have created for themselves?
I'm not defending a large company.
I'm expressing my enjoyment of this game. I do not care what company is behind it.
The problem lies with the people that let their entire opinions be molded by the large company behind it.
So are you fine with people not enjoying the game if it's got nothing to do with Ubisoft? Because a lot of the reviews are just that.
It takes only a minute to check on Metacritic what the majority of negative reviews are about.
There are a few legit ones, but most are just trashtalking Ubisoft. Or saying horsecrap like "looks like PS3 games", which it clearly doesn't. Or every positive review is "paid by Ubisoft", and people even complaining about it being a woke political agenda, fucking lmao.
I strongly doubt these trolls even installed the game.
Most? Have you read all 600+ negative reviews?
Ubisoft has clearly made a name for itself by making mediocre content and this game has only reinforced that image but being upset about that is wrong apparently.
The game clearly doesn't appeal to the majority of players and that makes you upset. Blaming the "ubisoft haters" or the "anti woke" just sounds like you're trying to find a convenient scapegoat for why the game isn't doing well. If the game was good people would play it regardless of who the publisher is.
Honestly, about 5 hours in and I love it. More depth than I expected. Actual stealth with multiple mechanics around it. The gang rep system. It's great. I have mixed feelings on Kay as a person, but I'm curious to see where it goes.
Fun fact, you can still shoot on the speeder once you fill your adrenaline by driving a bit crazy, then you do a red dead slow down, target selection style shooting.
