So... tried the demo for outrider by square enix. Its... meh? Its not bad, but its not good. Its very average. The most i can say is it feels like awkward gears of war clone with "Rpg elements" stapled on in form of equipment to cash in on looter shooter, and very mediocre class power stuff.
The graphics are meh, everybody blocky and lumpy. Controls are meh, its an unrefined gears of war cover shooter. No regen health, but you heal by following your classes power rules. And the classes seem.. meh. Nothing really special that truely helps you in combat. Using the fireclass they might as well have given me grenades.
The story is.. well. Weak. Earth be fucked yo, people jumped ship, and now on new planet thats green and vibrant with weird aliens. Then fu ky shit happens. People are cunts, you kill some of the cunts, and then are put in stasis. Then you wake up 30 years later and everything is fucked up and brown and standard wasteland bullshit.
Old friend characters react like you shit in their families coffins before throwing in angry dogs, when youve done absolutely nothing wrong cept almost die and they stuffed you in cryo. And then you decide to help them despite the fact they do nothing but heap abuse on you and dont even give you gear to help.
The enemy side is "insurrectionists" or something. They are evil cannibal raiders. Less wacky version of raiders from borderlands. Thats bout it. No valid point, redeeming qualities, or anything far as i can tell by the hundreds of people they are shown hanging and setting on fire and just randomly murdering.
The game is so not worth its listed 60 dollars.. or 50 dollars... or 40. Or even really 30. Maybe 25. And then id wait for it to go on sale for 20.
