Probably unrelated to Avengers being a wet fart, but I like to think it is.

If a Marvel VS DC game somehow happens, I was hoping Capcom would get to do it.

Isnt there a rumor that some kind of Marvel vs DC thing is going to happen in the comics, or maybe Disney/Marvel buying out the comics line or something?

The real question is who would hitch their wagon to Avengers at this point. Especially as a systems designer. What system is he going to design, how to make it have basic functionality once they bring the servers down?

It was briefly on sale, 60% off, steam numbers went up to just above 2000.


Well done, I guess at this stage, everyone who wanted to try the single player campaign have pretty much already done it.


I anticipate maintenance mode within a matter of months.

Also, Outriders on Steam? Shedding about a thousand players every single day.


I guess not of these games are...serviceable. :)

Companies chasing that GAAS success like they did with MMOs of yesteryear; it's hard to make a good one and launch with enough content to compete with the already established successes of the market.

outriders is explicitly not a live service game so I dunno what point you're making here?

I'm about 10 hours in and nearing the end of the campaign.

Dude, it's a game with always online as a requirement, that means only really one thing, MORE MONEY.

And hey, if it looks like a GAAS, smells like a GAAS and has server issues at launch, well, why wouldn't I call it that.

And honestly, the developers and publishers can call it whatever they want, it matters not.

Outriders claims not to be a GAAS but its one in all but name, and even if it weren't its garbage like Avengers so it all works out in the wash.

Can you actually buy anything with real money in Outriders?

Serious question, i completed the game and never saw an option. Always online doesn't mean GAAS lmao

yeah it's not. Doesn't mean being always online for a single player experience still isn't the most head up rear end design choice there is, but it's not a gaas

You know what, you've got a point, this is a GAAS, without monetization.

Something somewhere either went horrible right or awesomely wrong, because everything about this mess reeks of a Service, but there is no real monetization beyond a day-one DLC pack on Steam.

So something is clearly off, because the game is still always online, for seemingly no reason at all.

Only logical answer? The monetization is coming down the line and someone wanted to dodge a PR bullet.

It's also been pulling the GAAS trick where if a bug makes things easier for the players to get loot it gets fixed/nerfed immediately, but if it makes things worse for the players nothing gets done.

Did they ever fix the bug where the game would wipe your entire inventory at random?

Yes, though I believe they're still working on returning the lost gear to players and fixing the characters who got so corrupted that they couldn't even be logged in with.

So due to poor judgement and boredom I bought this game at 60% off, really just to finish the campaign since I heard it was decent. But I just unlocked the wartable and did some lovely Siberia mission. I hope that isn't the end of the story arc? I failed the mission for mysterious reasons so I turned it off for the night.

Unless youve fought MODOK then no youre not done. The game does force you to do some of the generic multiplayer missions to advance the story; theres a button to show mission storyline progress when browsing missions there and that should tell you how much you need to do.

I think the idea was to give you an idea of what to expect in the endgame.

Something that pissed me off was to unlock the outfits via playing, it wasn't doing a mission chain, but doing weird tasks like use BW to do 10 finishers and stuff like that.

People seem to still be somewhat lukewarm on Outriders, it's been the worst release out of the last 12 months for me. Forced multiplayer if you want to play on anything other than babby difficulty and get any use out of AOE abilities, but the multiplayer didnt work for 2 weeks, then it worked but it was bugged to poo poo, then the community made it so that you wouldn't even want to try PUG games.

I never even considered a refund on marvel, or even cyberpunk, but outriders is still unplayable to me.

For me the demo of Outriders was suuuuper helpful, because seeing that whole "Forced multiplayer if you want to play on anything other than babby difficulty" thing in action really crystalized that I wouldn't enjoy it.
