I create short (yet detailed!), high-quality (sometimes!) reviews of new video game releases. Specifically, I unpack fifteen "micro-metrics" (from "Plot" to "Sound") to determine a game's aggregate MEGA score. Hence the channel's name: MEGA the micro! Oh, and you can call me Scope.
Is STAR WARS OUTLAWS Broken? (Review After 20+ Hours)
Answer at the review's 2:30 minute mark...
Star Wars Outlaws is an open world action-adventure RPG that comes out on August 30th. It's not on Steam, so you'll have to get it through Ubisoft's store: store.ubisoft.com/us/star-wars-outlaws/645ba713a9ce0448bffa4c12.html?lang=en_US.
As always, I hope you enjoy the review :)

Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with your PC if it's doing all that. On my PC it absolutely looks exactly like the videos shown by Ubisoft with nice, clear, crisp non blurry textures.
Guessing you didn't watch past the recommended 2:30 minute mark, did ya? 😉
I'm really glad I've found your reviews! You're doing a great job! Excited to subscribe and see how your channel grows. Btw, you may like farthest frontier. It's a survival colony sim and imo one of the best in the genre. I've given up until it's in a more complete form, but I'm constantly looking for new colony sims to scratch that itch that farther frontier left behind. anyway, thanks for creating great content!
Thank you so much and welcome to the channel! I really appreciate the kind words and will be sure to check out Farthest Frontier. More reviews to come :)
You didn't even talk about the temples and Kaycee's mod 👎
This is a years-old spoiler-free review that came out well before Kaycee’s mod. As the game’s pre-launch trailers only showed Leshy’s cabin, so did I to prevent spoilers.
wow you have great frame rate i had 10 frames per second
I'm sorry to hear that :/ what are you running it on?
@@MEGAthemicro mtg gaming pc
Why did you mention the steam refund window? The game isn’t on steam.
Fair question. Steam's two-hour refund window has for many become a standard in gauging whether a game is "worth it." I thought it would be helpful for folks to know that it didn't satisfy that criteria for me, whether or not it was on Steam. It was just a small note.
Your pc must be a potato. I had no issues and I’m rocking a old ass rtx 2080ti & been playing since the 26th of August.
The patch that fixed things for me went live on August 23rd, which is why it ran well for you by the 26th.
I couldnt get past early game feels like crossout on water but constant pve battles and the constanly getting attacked is annoying
I am guessing you don't want to burn bridges...
I only spoke the truth.
what i really wanted was a spiritual sucessor for heroes of the storm, i still want a brawling game that was some sort of multiple objectives + the laning phase, this is just arena, i wanted hots revived so badly
In the mission Revelator Akiva Orbit when you destroy the starship reactor the game freezers you can't finish the game
This is such a normal thing for Ubisoft and EA these days that it's a given that you should wait a year, let them patch it, let modders fix other stuff, and then buy it half-price.
What are ur pc specs? Its always usual that pc games on release day that also have a console release, they most the time struggle with optimization on pc. Look at jedi survivor when that released last year. I couldnt even progress on it as my game kept crashing on pc. Now look at devs who dont release until pc version is optimised and playable like rockstar. Their pc version releases almost a year later. Which shows the extra work needed to optimise for 1000s of variations in hardware... Games are optimised better on console because theres no variations like pc. But the game runs smooth af on hdmi 2.1 4k tv using an series x. Im really enjoying the game, best star wars game to date.
They messed it up with the latest patch. Cant land the ship from space now lol
It’s a super honest game. ❤
im never playing this.
Still a mess graphically for early access. Gameplay is fun but the most broken thing I’ve encountered is on controller it locks the screen in a crap angle and has to be broken by pressing aim and does this repeatedly in tight areas.
How do we download the patch?
It (or an even more updated version) will be part of the full release on August 30th.
This is a Temu Red Dead Redemption 2
It does have some RDR2 vibes, but "Temu Uncharted 4" is probably a little more accurate ;)
Most games are broken especially before release as there is always a day 1 patch
My take is that the difficulty of organizing books and items is part of the experience. It can be frustrating, but I find I am frustrated with myself more than the game.
Love you mega
❤️❤️❤️
Oh well, on PC everything is great. 7900XTX 1440p and everything maxed out.
Nice! Glad to hear it's stable for you.
Yeah playing now and falling through floors (my pc plays wukong perfectly)
Is there a place I can find a pdf, or image of a blank score graph you use to rank games, so i can rank some on my own?
Sure! I just uploaded it here: postimg.cc/Fd316cPg i.postimg.cc/Qtn5HJ1P/OG-Combinedblank.png Let me know if it doesn't work for you :)
@@MEGAthemicro Awesome, thanks so much!
the game does look mildly decent. just not for $130 to get the non-cut version. It deserves the failure.
whats really stupid that I saw from the other youtuber is that you can only ride her bike and all other "cars" and animals are not accessible
Yeah :/ missed opportunity to turn this into a GTA meets Uncharted meets Star Wars game.
Still not going to get it b/c I don't want to look at that stupid hairstyle the whole game. Literally done from that alone.
If there’s one thing that still looks consistently off in SWO, even after the stability patch on August 23, it’s Kay’s hair. It flickers and blurs in the weirdest ways.
This game needs to fail regardless. Because fuck Ubisoft and fuck Disney.
that first couple of minutes looks like Star Citizen
lol'd
I kinda like the glowing orange hallway though.
When it properly loads, Toshara is one of the prettier game worlds I have ever seen. And the lighting in its main hub (which includes said glowing orange hallway) is stellar.
So the orange walls are because the texture didn't load? I thought the orange was on purpose?
That unrealistic punch is so stupid.
I visibly cringed each time. And it happens a LOT lol.
They should have just given her a hammer a wrench or something. Even if the protag was some big hulking dude, punching a helmet barehanded is just dumb lmao. If a military-grade helmet can't even stop a punch what the hell is it even good for??
@@geremysorlinigiguere9535it’s a stars wars video game dude
@@barry7711 Ok then they should have given her a super cool star-wars sci-fi mallet that vibrates at one million time a minute to multiply her strength or some other thing lmao
I strongly recommend watching this review until at least the two minute mark. Talk about a rollercoaster!
Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with your PC if it's doing all that. On my PC it absolutely looks exactly like the videos shown by Ubisoft with nice, clear, crisp non blurry textures. i9-12900K @ 5.5GHz, 64GB RAM, RTX 4090 @ 1440p with the game running on the hidden unlocked Max/Outlaw preset (-unlockmaxsettings in the ubisoft launcher). My game runs at at a solid 100-120 FPS. My partner uses an RTX 3080, and the game looks FAR FAR better than your video. Something is really wrong with your PC
This is ubisoft meeting expectations they've set for many years lol. 1.0 doesn't mean squat in the age of patches so there's no QA lol
*sigh* Imagine - you get access to one of the biggest franchises on the planet and THIS is the result? After all the screenshots, hype (I guess!), videos, trailers, dev diaries, promo materials, ads etc., it looks like it barely made it through a BETA build. This actually made me reflect on and appreciate Tron: Identity so much more.
Have you bever seen a bad starwars game ? What do you call force unleashes 2 or George's game studio it's last decade lmao , shit games
@Crocthunder what???
What a rollercoaster!
I still have whiplash 😵💫
Cryptark is such a hidden gem
Won't play till an Order Campaign
Just give us Smash TV back! This is a bad remake/predecessor
No words towards multiplayer and how it works (on the world map or just battle by battle?)... cmon man
Multiplayer was not available at the time of my review and I haven't yet had a chance to try it out. Sorry!
The best cyberpunk game I've ever played no contest. simply amazing. this is like a prequel of Psycho Pass lol
Nice! Glad you enjoyed it. And yes, Psycho Pass prequel describes it pretty nicely :)
Thanks for the review, love your way of scoring games and presenting it, subbed :) Also like that you cover indie games.
Thanks! Glad you like the format and welcome to the channel :D
Thanks for the review. Also take a look at 1000xRESIST, which is a similar and unique sci-fi narrative game
Thanks for playing!
Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to review it!
woke game. got it
I don't even know what woke means anymore, tbh.
Nope, it's not... it will also have landing cutscenes lmao
Ur mom has landing cutscenes.
@MEGAthemicro Heh funny imagination you got there
Xbox reviews are miserable, And according to half of them, it's quite buggy with bad controls, most of them state that when you turn on a generator, the game crashes
Yeah :/ I, too, encountered the generator crash. A quick reload fixed the issue, but it's still annoying to hear that the devs didn't patch it pre-release. I thought the controls were fine on my xbox controller, personally. Pretty terrible on keyboard/mouse, though.
Looks lovely. I was looking for a relaxing game and this seems right up my alley.
I hope you enjoy it :) though I will note that the creature collection process can get a little intense. All in all, it's still a fairly relaxing experience.
Just bought it and I have zero regrets. I would say it appeals more to the board game person in me. And it's very relaxing.
Cool, I'm glad you're enjoying it :) and yes, it definitely plays a lot like a board game.
Cheers!
🍻!
A same. The gist of the game looks fun.
Indeed! A fun premise... and not much else.
