Actually amazed this doesn't have a thread. Sadly it has been pushed back until February, but I've had my eye on this game for awhile plus it is cross platform. It could be incredible
https://www.cbr.com/square-enix-outriders-demo/ Can't wait hoping this will be a new game that I can heavily dive into and stream
Demo downloaded on PSN and Steam as expected servers got overloaded, so they are down. Going to go get food and run errands and try again in a few hours
Dude!! First gun they let you loot its passive killing blow caused shrapnel explosion the guys that made Bulletstorm made this so overtop weapons and ragdoll/gore I'm already hooked and I haven't even got to pick my class yet
Went with the Pyromancer class first this game is a cover shooter but like Gears the enemies can be relentless and each class heals in a class based way ex: I heal by damaging and killing enemies with my skills
So definitely rough cut scenes and voice acting/writing are weak I definitely can tell the Bulletstorm creators did this. Skills are great/ weapon skills on rare and above are enjoyable. Quite a few crashes especially going to inventory screen. After 5 hours I did all missions and side missions I still have one more difficulty tier to achieve plus more weapons to find. Overall plenty to mess with until release on the first 7.5/10 demo , 8.5/10 without the crashes
Played all the way up to getting a class. Game seems interesting, hoping to dive in deeper tonight. Gunplay felt pretty good though.
I saw that so far cross play since the patches has been smooth, so this move could be huge for this game.
I missed the beta but this will be a get for me as I love looter shooters and I’ll be done grinding project Diablo 2 for 2 weeks
The start of the demo was pretty bad, but after a few weeks of patches and listening to player feedback it has been a complete turnaround. I have played around with all the classes and sunk about 50 hours or so into the Demo. Cross play works really well too.
Honestly the transparency the developers have had with the community has been a breath of fresh air even during just this demo.
Is there actual chat for crossplay? Nothing pisses me off more than not being able to communicate in games like RL, etc.
This is a great review and has me pumped. Cohh got early access and I watched a little today. It feels the game is really fleshed out and most importantly has an endgame that can add another 500 hours at least for players that want it. What class are you planning on playing? Do you have a group you play with?
Starting with Pyromancer, and fiancee is rolling devestator because she sucks at shooting games. I do have a group but i will always be up to party. I will be running it on Steam and my fiancee will be on the PS4. Yeah he and Angryjoe playing the streamer only event a year ago put this on my radar.
I think I may technomancer though I’m worried it’ll be tough to push content solo. I imagine once I get to endgame I’ll be re-rolling to a healer hybrid which I’m cool with. I think it may be the least played class based on what I’ve read.
I found pyro honestly I did all 4 classes at the early stages the hardest to solo with funny enough but I know at later levels it will be one of the easier ones.
In terms of difficulty on the demo solo for me it went. Devestator was the easiest then techno, trickster and Pyro I had to use cover and died more
I've pimped this game out so hard to everyone I know. The developers seem to really listening to their fans and learning from other looter shooters mistakes. It isn't a AAA game that is going to wow you with graphics or writing but the customization, enjoyable skills, and the endgame should easily make this a must play for any fan of the genre.
They actually got Launch correctly I could fucking cry right now. All my fiancee's stuff from demo was there and ready for her.
I’ve been waiting for this ever since I played the demo. I played through on each class and preordered right afterwards. Probably going to spend most of my night after work playing.
Unpacking the files on Steam now. I played about 3 hours with my fiancee on PS4 last night at launch the first area after the demo is much more open and breaks off into segments. Those that are giving this game a chance will be beyond rewarded and I will continue to pimp this game hard.
Sadly crossplay is a bit bugged it is having trouble connecting pc with console they are working to fix it right now.
You can join each other but big chance you will get kicked they have been working on it since PC launch today.
Servers are down right now while they are fixing issues. I wonder if they found the bug that is fucking up cross play. I really wish they had an offline mode.
Now it's stuck trying to collect payment from PayPal, lol. cancelled and re-ordered with my debt card.
