They're using a trusted formula that has worked since Far Cry 3 from 12 years ago. It's fun but it's not going to turn a lot of heads. Many just wish they would try something different.

The Venn Diagram of "people still spending that much money on a game" and "people that are easy to please" seems to be a circle. Maybe something to do with a sunk-cost-fallacy coupled with the "social proof" stuff?

But I don't know the game. Maybe it's okay.

Yeah I don't really get all the hate. Is it the greatest game ever? No not even a little. Is it good though? Yeah I think so. The combat isn't all that deep but I'm mostly enjoying it for the writing and world building. It also helps that it's a gorgeous game.

That being said I can't see paying full price for it. I subscribed to ubisoft + for it and plan on canceling once I'm done with it. Playing it that way makes it cheaper than a ticket to the movies but for way more hours of pretty star wars locales.

I'm really glad I got it. No regrets at all. Solid gameplay and Fantastic atmosphere. Yesterday I played a mini mission which was sharing a meal with your little companion. Awesome.

There seems to be a TikTok campaign where certain people desperately want players to hate this game. I keep seeing this same skinny wispy-bearded dude over & over shitting on the game.

I keep seeing the videos, and what I watch just makes me say "It honestly doesn't look bad to me."

They were dumb enough to buy a AAA title on launch so...
