It’s not erectile distinction, it’s just softer than expected.
Now I can not buy it on Steam. :)
Don’t think its a “its not on steam” issue, rather a ubisoft makes meh game issue
A) funny how that works with Steam everytime. “We don’t need Steam” > sales plummet > “Release on Steam in 60 days”
B) I don’t think releasing the game on Steam will save them here, from what I’ve seen it’s just a bad game plain and simple. It will maybe fill the gap a bit but probably not by enough to actually achieve the sales numbers they would like to see.
This is probably why they pumped the brakes so hard on Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The state they released Star Wars Outlaws in was absolutely abysmal. Something tells me they figured if they did the same thing with assassin’s Creed shadows, they were fucked. They’re also now releasing that one day one on steam. I really get the distinct feeling that if assassin’s Creed’s shadows doesn’t sell for Ubisoft, they’re in serious trouble.
We can only hope
Outlaws could have been released 100% bug free and it still would have flopped
They’ve had too many flops and investors are getting pretty pissed at their stupid decisions.
They’re trying to sell the company and have been for awhile. The problem is that without a win, no one wants to buy.

From what I’ve seen and heard it’s an okay game, just seems like it could be so much more.
Ubisoft is basically a franchise at this point, so companies with IPs can give them to Ubisoft and they’ll make it fit their game formula.
Problem is, even though they might try and tweak it occasionally, that formula is now 12 years old.
It is a good game IMO, but they will have completely missed the hype train by November.
I mean by November they’ll be releasing it around the time of the steam sale event, when everything sells.
Assuming they put the game on sale, and not just try to charge full price.
It is a good game IMO, but they will have completely missed the hype train by November.
Interesting, I’d say it’s incredibly badly designed and executed given Ubisoft’s history. The lack of danger and enemy awareness, the perfunctory stealth that barely works, the mostly empty open world and floaty speeder, the formulaic story…
Now, the one thing we learned from Ubi’s mistakes is that there’s no second chance for a first impression. They added a completely new and rather good campaign to try and fix Breakpoint, making all the looter tropes optional and it works great, it’s a good open world game after that, but I haven’t seen an influx of new players.
What? Not only is it an Ubi game with mediocre reviews, but now you’re telling me it’ll be rushed to PC? Now my heart is all aflutter.
Say “no” to Ubislop! You’ll be happy you did :)
I loved Steep, so when Rider’s Republic joined GamePass I installed it immediately. Once I saw the interface, the monetization and how almost everything was paywalled, I uninstalled. Not even getting their shit for free makes it a good experience.
I’m “soft boycotting” Ubisoft. By which I mean they haven’t made a game I’m willing to buy in years…
i took ubis advice.
i am now very comfortable with not owning ubisoft games 😂I haven’t bought a Ubisoft game since the division. And even then I regret getting that.
Problem is that folks at Steam have already seen the reviews and know what they’re getting into.
I’m not a Star Wars fan and this game has no redeeming quality for me to get it because it’s pretty mid gameplay wise too, but I feel like Star Wars fans would bite no? I think dragon ball z kakarot is mid, but I just love db so much that I bought and played the game anyway.
Even among a lot of SW fans it’s a “Wait for a sale”
Maybe I’m missing something, but what does Steam care? All it is is another game they’ll get some additional revenue on. It’s not like they’re betting the farm on it.
I think OP meant Steam users have already seen the reviews, so the bigger market probably isn’t going to cause as big of a sales boost as Ubi was hoping.
Ah that makes sense i read “at Steam” as the company, not “at Steam” as users who use the platform.
I don’t buy Ubi games anymore. I am also a bit Star Ward’s out.
Agree, also the franchise fatigue is strong with this one.
Poor 108. I feel for you and all poor souls OD’ing on Disney sequels recovering in the Star Ward
*snaps gloves*
The force is about to be with you.
All that money to pay streamers to hype it up didn’t work?! Who would’ve known?
