Outriders_ Worldslayer - Review - Part 1

 Outriders remember the one thing, alright I'll blow your mind, you're ready, Outriders came out last year Yes, Outriders released on April 1st last year and it wasn't a great start for a lot of reasons. Outriders was an ambitious always-online looter shooter that only had a short promo beta Fix all the troubles in Nutella's oldest days, the shiny new online multiplayer game that came with a plethora of bugs both on the network and in the Gameplay started hours of work with no way of getting it back until the developer patched it weeks later so stuff like this really took the wind out of Outrider sales but like I said when reviewing it on Riders last year got it's a solid enjo yable game if you fancy the power imagination and smart building, delivers in spades very few looters gave you so much meaningful building craft so early on and this part of the game just dug in, as you got further into the endgame, where legendary weapons and armor would allow you to create some highly specialized, extremely powerful builds that your average This Outrider build has, like 30 mods and perks, all working in unison to boost your power, and carefully hammering each of them into place while you're up for the grind has been really satisfying and rewarding. necessitated this week, publisher Square Enix and developer People Can Fly are in the process of releasing Outriders World Slayer, an expansion to the core game that again promises hundreds of hours of new content if you're up for the grind this week, so I'm taking my time with that spent coughing and stuttering and playing driver. I've now seen everything the expansion has to offer and I wanted to give you a quick recap because I'm sure there are more than a few people

I'm wondering if this is a good time to return to Outriders or if this is a good place to start for first time players etc. So what I think is that World Slayer is a good expansion that's a little hard to sell for its price, its co-op focus, and the repetitive nature of its endgame activity if you're someone who really loved Outrider and kept playing it for a long time , after everyone else has moved on, then I suspect you'll love it because it doubles down on things that made the game outright as great power fantasy and build-craft, essentially resetting the gear game by introducing a new item tier and add new perks and skill points to your character sheet, so the ability to build even more powerful characters than ever is at the heart of this whole expansion, but if you're looking for something outside of that to pull you in for the first time or pull you back in when If you feel like you're done without a rider, you won't find here that this is absolutely one for those Fans and I wonder how big that population is at this point. This is a 35 expansion and unlike the base game it won't be available in Game Pass, playing alone through the campaign is pretty abysmal and the game specifically says that the new endgame activities shouldn't be played alone since they don't shrink when you do as they are designed for three people. Now of course there is online matchmaking but generally you want to play games like this with your friends to do what you need to have Two friends who love Outriders as much as you and are willing to spend 35 for an expansion for it, and I wonder how many people will be up for that, yes the endgame activity is quite repetitive in a way that I wasn't expecting and in a way that this experience could have been so brief it's an experience gauntlet style which contains a bit of variability but not enough and as a result I kinda got over it after doing it just a few times so definitely wouldn't be ready to do it hundreds of times. Bottom line, Slay is also a competent, focused expansion for those already rusty on the Outrider franchise, but I don't think it's doing much to unlock potential or dropped players

i want to briefly touch on technical stuff since that was certainly the achilles heel of the original since then i'd heard that outriders had cleaned up its act that it ran better and it was free of bugs it was broadly my experience when playing this week i played it on an rtx 3070 ti laptop and with dlss set to balanced i was generally able to hit around 80 frames at max settings that felt relatively stable as well definitely an improvement over the launch state of the game that's not to say everything was perfect mind you for example the review build i was playing on kind of didn't work at first it was missing an executable file it had to be patched in a few days later then there was a persistent error that would crash my game every time i tried to collect a certain type of reward the one you get from advancing up difficulty tears there were issues with audio sync during cut scenes where it was clear that the lip syncing wasn't properly lined up that was a little bit distracting some times textures would take a while to load in leading to really blurry details on environments the most disruptive issue though was the rubber banding and the de-syncing which i don't have any footage of but i definitely experienced it a number of times and the people i was playing with also commented on it so do i think that outriders is in better shape absolutely it didn't delete any of my items when i was playing so that's cool and i would say on the whole i was happy with the technical state of the game but it definitely still has its fair share of minor issues and hopefully those don't balloon to become major issues when the game launches the worldslayer expansion is essentially three things a new campaign a new endgame activity and an overhaul of equipment and progression systems enabling you to rebuild your characters

Let's talk about the campaign again The First World Slayer campaign picks up right where the first game ended, when your nervous boy or girl becomes obsessed with solving the mysteries of the anomaly of storms ravaging the planet Enoch have, and also the source of your power that you are has said that there is a scientist who has made a breakthrough discovery as to what the anomalies might be, and so you are setting out to find them, but oh no, there's a new villain, and she really doesn't want you to find the scientist, oh and she's also a lot two. This is where you part ways

 It has some of that DNA and pace, but it's one of those things that I've gone back to and you know I played the original Unreal Tournament, still classic, still proud of everything we've done Okay, I think you're going to get the tremendous depth of the maps and the community and the new modes that are coming out and everything else, but you know you're the weapon you pick up in a game like this, that's that Biggest thing to keep in mind about speed, so I wanted to have the speed of these types of games but with the depth that a gamer expects from a modern game that has games like MOBAs and Overwatch and all these other titles now have abilities where, as you know, you take the map depth and transfer it to the player in character. When the game is going well, you just keep coming out with new stuff and shuffling the balance and hopefully keeping the community happy you think the balance will be like when you first start that bad boy. I think it's really goi...

 You could guess about 90% of their gear in that time, for a game that already lacks distinctive traits that set it apart. This kind of recycled class design doesn't do him any favors beyond the basics. Each class has a unique ability usable with the right stick when playing on console and some other keys on PC, the archer will roll, the hunter will use his hook shot to pull himself forward, the warrior will use shield slams to Stun enemies, and a mage will be able to control the direction of the last spell he casts, allowing you to do such things. The elf role is ok, it works pretty well. In fact, the Slayers Hook Shot is really clunky to use because it actually slows you down when you arrive at your objective, which makes you really reluctant to use it when traveling between large groups of enemies, you might think it is intended to be used when you are surrounded to help you get out of a jam but that is not because enemies are blocking it, you also have so many other mobility o ...
