Outriders is biggest Square Enix launch on Steam ever
- Thread starter dex3108
- Start date
It would probably have done better on Steam if it came out on launch day.
Really fun combat, unique healing system, cool powers, talent trees, interesting loot, and it's all co-op.
Demo made a big splash it seems, I hadn't heard of the gane before then and didn't realize it was Square-Enix title.
i think the bad reviews are mostly due to the servers being dead
It's a new release, the servers are being hammered atm. It always goes like this.
Are you sure you played the demo? Because you can skip basically everything if you want.
I'm actually wondering how they're handling this. Surely they won't just shadow drop the game on PC in 9 days lol
Judging from past rumours mentioning an expanded FF7R for PC/PS5, it might be the case that Intergrade also comes to PC.
Yes it was the demo of course lol there were some skippable scenes but others not like when you enter the forest.
Does this mean that demos are allowed to be a thing again?
For those unaware, demos became practically non-existent after 2013 because of this and only this:

Hopefully the success of Outriders proves to the industry just how bullshit that always was.

Jesse Schell: Releasing a demo harms your game sales
In an impassioned presentation at DICE 2013, Puzzle Clubhouse CEO and respected analyst Jesse Schell spoke about the importance of getting people to want to try your product. Or not. It turns out that if you’re selling a video game, it would be wise for you to not let people try a demo of it.Surpr

It's not a GaaS. It's Borderlands with no guarantee for expansions/DLC.
It's not GaaS - from what I've heard the game is finished, the endgame content is already in the game and there will be no service like updates.
I think loop hero alone proved how much bs that is.Does this mean that demos are allowed to be a thing again?

I do expect Intergrade to be announced for PC shortly after the year long exclusivity window ends.
Since the demo released, Outriders has never left Steam global top sellers.
The genre it's a part of is big and impressions were pretty good.

If they like the taste of being #1, they should release a new Legacy of Kain on steam and let the $$$$ roll in.
I downloaded the demo and remember visiting the demo thread 2-3 times and I though the consensus that the game sucked and was uninteresting. The trailers always looked very generic. So I never bothered playing. Didn't really have a good opportunity to plan either. Im guessing this is not the case then?
There was a demo and people were able to decide for themselves. I know I was able to convince people to try it out for themselves on whichever platform they own/prefer and we could all play together.
The beginning of the game is very generic. And I don't want to say that the end-game reaches some crazy unique holy shit this is so new and fresh state, but it does become almost like a TPS-Path of Exile-Lite with slaughtering waves of enemies using stacking mods and buffs that turn you into completely different characters than at the start.
Word of mouth on it was good once you got past the intro in the demo. I also think it being picked up by Gamepass probably helped immensely.
Destiny players having loot to grind basically, game is being propped up by the destiny streamers as well.
Didn't download the demo but got the same impression so I skipped it.
Now I see all this hype and talk and am wondering what's going on.
I guess the actual game was much better than people thought?
Or is it just a pond in a drought type thing?
Guess I'll dive into some of those threads instead of skimming and see what I missed
