The demo gives just the right variety of content and gameplay to keep players intrigued but waiting in anticipation. Outriders definitely shows promise, but hopefully, this demo will help iron out the bugs."

You know, I think its.. meant to be that way?
Like, I don't think it's meant to be a traditional live service game where it goes on forever. More like, you have a hub world with x amount of missions and that's it.

Go play fortnite and leave us alone lol

Knightofelemia1150d ago

I have the demo on Xbox I will just run it and see if I like it or avoid it.

waverider1149d ago

Hope the demo was old. Needs lot of work. got problems with the cover system, cutscenes, to much motion blurrrrr, graphics are way plastic, the problem of unreal engine. colour pallette,, guns impact..

Zahiar1149d ago

I thought so too, the world was just so... blah and bland. Even the more color pallette rich areas were just all grey or tan or green.

Looks like a poor man's gears of war

djl34851149d ago

No, a poor man's gears of war would be better than outriders.

Darkborn1149d ago

It felt like a good ps3 game. Idk why but it just felt so uninspired to me and old feeling.

Zahiar1149d ago

Like, the concept of the game's setting is interesting. But everything around it feels blah?

The 7 Best Co-op Games on PS5

There's no better way to enjoy your PS5 than with friends, so here's our picks of the best co-op games on the console.

Cacabunga103d ago

For coop, get a used switch instead

jznrpg103d ago

I own a Switch and have never played co-op on it. I do play Elden Ring , Demons Souls and some other co/op games with my friends on PS5. Baldurs Gate 3 is the next game I’ll play co-op. Can’t do that on a Switch

Cacabunga102d ago

I was thinking for couch casual immediate fun.. not online coop games that require some adaptation.

played it..de-installed it after 30 minutes.

Lighter9674d ago

I got pretty far, and just stopped caring. I uninstalled it as well.

Profchaos674d ago

It's extremely generic. It's not bad but it reminds me of the period between 2007 and 2009 where gears introduced cover shooters so almost everyone went out and made a unreal engine 3 cover shooter.
It feels like that to destiny

IanTH674d ago (Edited 674d ago )

For some it is. At launch, I expect more people felt that way. It also had tons of technical issues back then, at least on PC. I tried it after the New Horizons expansion later last year. I found the campaign enjoyable enough, even if not an amazing one. The gameplay was pretty fun, the story was pretty pants (but how many games can say otherwise lol). Still had some bugs even then, though.

I've no idea what is in the newest expansion, but if it ever piqued your interest, I'd suggest giving it a shot. It might give you 20-30 hours of fun before it fizzles out. Maybe I'll look into this expansion, see what's what.

MadLad674d ago (Edited 674d ago )

I'm having fun with it.
Originally avoided it having heard of the issues around launch.
It has been sitting on Gamepass so finally downloading it the other day.
I'm about 3 hours in, have my Trickster class at level ten, and it's a pretty good time.

Don't know if I'll end up beating it or not, but I'd give it a solid 8 so far, personally.

Livingthedream674d ago

Nah it’s fun, first 30 minutes ain’t enough. Give it a go!

Terry_B673d ago

Bad...nah. Its simply super boring

I played through the entire campaign. It was very generic. The story was mediocre and the technical issues on PC were pretty bad. They patched it up quite a bit. It plays better now. I can say the only reason why I enjoyed it was because I missed Division 2-type gameplay but was was tired of running around the same areas in New York. The endgame is just an enemy hitpoint multiplier where a tiny creature has 20,000 HP. It's too bullet-spongy.

Call me when it's free to keep.
