A week after buying it, Outriders is one of the very worst “live service” experiences I’ve ever played.
The servers are so busted, the software so prone to crashing, and the gameplay so unworthy of the investment that I’m absolutely disgusted.
While I understand not everybody has had my experience, I can only share mine, and I am legitimately angry that something has wasted my time and money so thoroughly.
Outriders is the epitome of my problem with these half-baked, rushed, Early “AAA”ccess products.

Imagine the core of your review being server issues. Literally every online game has that
This is not an excuse you can accept from the likes of SQEnix or any other multi billion dollar triple A publisher for that matter. They fucked up just like CDPR did and the media absolutely pounded them for that so why are SQEnix not being given the same level of pounding from the same media? Isn't it obvious by now?
I was looking forward to Outriders, honestly. The dialogue was terrible, and the demo was definitely, ahem, a bit rough around the edges, but it looked like an interesting sort of Eurojank Mass Effect looter shooter with some good teamwork stuff. I haven't seen one review so far that isn't about what a broken buggy mess it still is. It's not like Squenix didn't have the money to hire enough staff, or were in danger of going bankrupt if they didn't release it right now instead of paying for a few more months of quality control. It's just all so disappointing.
I really don't get the pre-order or the day-1 purchase mindset. At this point it should be common knowledge that you simply can't trust reviews other than post-release honest non-paid reviews. And until you can get your hands on those, what is there to be excited about? I wouldn't wait in line and pre-pay for a meal at a restaurant that isn't opened yet. I'll wait to hear what it's actually like when it's open from people who've eaten there, and then let that help me form an opinion about whether it's worth my time and money.
Wow the new goat simulator looks really good
You think that's bad? Just look what Square do on Metacritic with their shitty game Balan Wonderworld. They flooding this game by 10's
Outriders isn't a good game, it's just the most polished games as a service turd yet.
I don't know I've had a completely different experience with the game and if I had the same experiences as used Jim I'd be super pissy too but I can't help it but love this game and feel like you're being a bit excessive even though I am exactly those people who you called out in the beginning of the video and I love all your content I'm not going to stop watching this is the first time I was like "noooooooo not something I like" lol
Square Enix shooting for 3 in a row with shitty video game releases
Also I feel like server issues don't make a game broken at least when I think of a broken game I think of cyberpunk something that is fundamentally in its core broken not good cuz when you play outriders I don't see the same type of glitches I feel when I play cyberpunk I understand that when you have an online only game and you have server issues that's a big deal but this is a game that did not need to be online 24/7 and I think if it wasn't we see a very different story but again the game's not broken there's huge server issues but it's not like when I shoot my gun it doesn't hit enemies the powers don't do what they're supposed to do or the game can't run itself then again I'm not here trying to defend square enix their massive I'm more on people can fly side.
Stop being stupid and buying games before they are finished.
SquareEnix is not an indie developer, People can Fly is. Yet they know how to make good games this is trash! Enix knew it, and cash grabbed ewwww screw SquareEnix
I usually love Sterling's reviews. This is understandable frustration, I'm shocked they couldn't get on. I had issues myself, a LOT of issues, but I still got a ton of time in on day 1, and more since.
I agree that SE has the money to do better than this, though. I am 100% on board with this critique, though I hope they'll actually play and review it. I think it's got some solid positives despite some glaring negatives.
the term consumer is in reference to someones who will buy whatever is shoved down there throat
it used to be an insult remember when we were all costumers now they treat us like vacuum cleaners just there to suck up there shit just consumers
well I'm a customer and i will never stand for being treated like a consumer
this game looks lame even if it did work, ie: avengers level.
Why did you buy it on ps5 when it's on gamepass (and I've not had any of these issues on xbox)
I still so disappointed by Square Enix, they fell hard and fast
im sad uve been having such a bad experience with the game, but after the fixes i hope u get to enjoy what this game has to offer Jim.
I've been playing since day one on the PC and I can say my experience has been totally different compared to yours. I have experienced a total of 1 crash and 3 disconnects. no apparent bug and it has been stable for about a week now. the game has been very fun, the environments are beautiful, the writing, dialogues and story have surprisingly good moments with a very deliberate b-movie flavor. in terms of gameplay or progression I don't think there's anything new per say, but everything feels like it's accumulated the experience of every looter shooter released before to make a very pleasantly polished product. like the loot is quite generous and the crafting system gives you just enough leeway to counteract the randomness of the pieces you get and actually build the character that you want in my opinion. Also I realised while playing in coop that I wasn't waiting forever for my mates to finish analysing their loot and building their skills which is a problem I usually have with games like this with RPG elements. but here the experience is very seemless so I have to give props.
the game looks boring , nothing new same BS as usual :/=
I'm surprised to see this much attention around it. It looks very stale and generic. The art, the gameplay, even the name.
I've not once had issues like this, but the crashes are rather inconvenient. Please tell us how you feel about the game play if you ever do get around to it? I value your opinions, you terrible human being.
Best video game soundtrack ever.

Damn, I remember when Square and Enix were, separately, considered two of the strongest game companies out there.
Damn it sucks being this old.
Spent the overwhelming majority of the review ranting about corporations and micro-transactions. Make your point Jim and move on. He barely referenced anything about story / gameplay / class mechanics. I finished the entire game without too many issues honestly (past the first few days) i have no clue why it was such a disaster for him.
I fell out of love with AAA gaming a long time ago.
Remember when we said we were okay with paying $70 if it meant for a more complete product? HA yeah, that's never going to happen.
Jim, I love Outriders as a game and you're not being unfair. You can love a game and still hate what it is instead of what it should have been. I have been playing on PC and I can't even begin to describe how many bugs I've had to deal with beyond just connectivity issues. After every single mission in the game my direction helper goes haywire and tries to send me back to the last quest I just completed, I am unable to interact with any of the doors to move to another screen and all my quest NPCs completely disappear. I have to log out and log back in after every. Single. Fucking. Quest. It is beyond infuriating. Beyond that I've had the game crash countless times for no reason, even after switching to DX11. I've had mobs fall through the world and I'm unable to continue because you have to kill every single mob before you can move to the next waypoint. I've had guns bug, I've had friends who had their entire inventory wiped out for joining my game and to top it all off the difficulty of the game is completely fucking out of whack in single player.
I had high hopes for Outriders, but it's unfortunately turned into Anthem 2.0. I'm just done with looter-shooters at this point. They are worse than gacha games IMHO.
So the connection issues are universal but i've never seen the bugs they ran into, coupled with that time they found an extremely rare game breaking bug in hellblade, i'm starting to think jim is the unlukiest person in the gaming world.
Why do all of these kinds of games look the damn same
Thanks for hiding your face this time so I could watch instead of listen
So, weird. I have been playing a ton of this game and never experienced any of the bugs or connection issues. The only bug was the UI bug but its gone now and didn't bother me much to restart from the lobby.
Stephanie Sterling…Steph Sterling, has a ring to it!
square enix should be better than this but that hasn´t been true for at least 20 years now.
I do agree to this I will admit I seen the light I been seeing lately companies been shipping games that ser not ready and spending 60$ with a bas experience
OUTRIDERS NEEDS TO BE F2P like seriously it does
Just play warframe
I wish people would criticize these multi-national corporations without resorting to wanting to overthrow the government and forcing each other to refer to everyone as "comrade". That bull shit is an even worse idea than what we currently have. What we need is smart and fair regulation and the actual enforcement of said regulations without wormy loopholes and underhanded nepotism that allows corporations to get out of paying taxes and allowing them to park their money in foreign countries.
CAUSE I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEE, FREE FALLIN! I love that you walked up a cliff and became another character entirely too. That bit was awesome.
like friendships nowadays: always online, can't get in and when you get in, it's so buggy you're entertained for 10 mins before you throw it away
You know what I do? Avoid "AAA" games that release launch day.
Almost guaranteed to be buggy. There not getting my money until they actually patch it for real.
I swear I ran out of eyebrows to raise after the first 3 mins of this video, this game is a goddamned circus honestly.
Outriders 76
I saw some people on my Steam friends list play this so i looked at some trailer and gameplay thing with devs…..
And i didn't get how they barely had any dislikes, it looks soooo fucking generic with NOTHING new and when i heard more of *how*it is i just don't get the positive reception i first saw…
