    The Game has potential but you really need to fix matchmaking not working on stadia- its boring to play alone

    I paid 60 Euros, and this game is a total mess. Generic, uninspired, and boring. Plus this game is currently very buggy and unplayable. Worst spend money...

    The game has potential. But currently on the stadia platform it is waaaaay too buggy an experience. I submitted a refund request.

    Non si sa bene cosa non abbia funzionato ai piani alti per spiegare quello che è successo: i bug sono tanti, i frame costantemente bassi, il crossplay che sarebbe dovuto arrivare al day one ancora non si è visto e nessuno tra pubblisher e dev ancora ha dato un minimo di speranza. Penso vinca a mani basse il titolo di gioco più rimborsato su Stadia.

    An sich hat das Spiel Spaß gemacht. Aber es gibt auch viel Kritik zu äußern auf Stadia so gut wie nicht spielbar Grund dafür ist das immer noch der day one Patch ist und nicht weitergemacht worden ist. Entwickler interessieren sich nicht dafür und stellen auf Taube Ohren. Das angepriesende crossplay funkzuniert nicht auf stadia.

    People Can Fly but apparently, they can't patch on Stadia.
    It could have been good... But at the moment I usually tell people to stay away from this game, until it starts getting regular updates.

    The solo story mode on Stadia is a lot of fun and worked pretty well. The multiplayer and end-game content is terrible on Stadia. Stadia does not get any patches or updates like other platforms so you can't play cross-play with other platforms. Unless they fix the version and get some updates you are better of buying it on another platform.

    This game gets a lot of hate because of the developer support on the stadia support. But I’m going on just my experience. I had a lot of fun and made some friends over multiplayer. I put 80 hours in the game and felt I got my money’s worth. I understand others have had more trouble than I did though. And I don’t know why. I plan to come back to this game soon.

    Worst game on stadia ( no patches) worst game of 2021. Single player is fun but it's always the same level build up. Multiplayer doesn't work. cross play doesn't work because of patches missing.

    Overhyped and underrated at the same time. Good be much better with a working team matching system. Still not working in august 2021 (Stadia). Thats very bad.

    Theres some potential here
    I love outriders, but there are definitely some things that stop me from loving it as much as I could. This is a 3rd person cover based shoote that can be played both solo and online with up to 3 players. I stuck to this games campaign solo and it took me about 14 hours to get through..

    This is a 3rd person cover based shoote that can be played both solo and online with up to 3 players.
    I stuck to this games campaign solo and it took me about 14 hours to get through.. The game starts with you creating your own charcter, and the story here.. well it might as well not even exist.. I couldn’t tell you anything, I couldn’t even tell you how the game ends if I wanted to, basically a storm happens, youre frozen, youre unfrozen 20 years late futurama style, and you come out and wanna shoot stuff.
    The gameplay here is super fun and addictive.. most of the time.. thing gears of war meets mass effect meets the division.. obviously outriders feels nowhere near as polished and detailed as those games.. but for a first attempt in a series, this is a really good one… Something unique here that has promise but major issues is the tier system.. instead of choosing a difficulty, the game gets harder as you progress, everyone starts at story difficuolty, then you unlock easy, normal, hard, expert, and so on… however once you get to a tier you find too challenging aka too annoying youre free to drop back to any previously unlocked tier that youd like… and this is what I did on m way to tier 6, I dropped back to normal.. and why you might ask? I loved the challenge tier 5 was giving me.. however outriders is desined as a games of service game and for that reason, the checkpoints throughout the campaign are awful.. ontop of that there are insane random difficulty spikes… youll go from having an nice challenge to waves of enemies that have you wanting to bang your head against the wall, oyull get so close to the end, or completete the first wave and lose to some scrub and have to start all the way back at the beginning of wave 1 instead of the wave your died on.. enough to again make you want to drop down to normal difficulty.. however… even in normal these random spikes occur, theres even one enemy called the shaman warlord that is so unbalanced and overpowered that I had to drop down to story difficulty…
    Im sure I could have eventually beat them on normal, but story took 3 minutes, normal would’ve taken like an hour. It just wasn’t worth the effort,,, balancing in general I outriders biggest problem.. from random enemies feeling overpowered to random difficulty spikes and awful checkpoint system… so the gameplay can go from great to frustrating, the story is trash, why is outriders so good?
    Well that comes in the form of its looter hook… at the beginning of the game you choose one of 3 classes, and its so addictive to find weapons through this game and try to tailor them to your specific playstyle.. overcome these sometimes annoying challenges with a feeling god like power… as as you level up, youll choose 3 abilities to have at yoru disposal during combat… there is post game content though.. and plenty… the story mode is essentially you getting your character ready for the online bits.. even though of course you can play through the story with friends… but after the game is where leveling up your tier really starts to matter, this is where youll be challenging yourself to unlock new areas and collect all of these fallen pods…I however personally found the actual world of outriders to be pretty lack luster and uninteresting.. so naturally I have no interest in going off and grinding.. though I do believe the mechanics are fun enough here for plenty who would based on that alone…
    Outriders again has potential as a series.. would I play outriders 2? Yes…
    s again I loved the gameplay hook and Id love a sequal that balances everything out better.
    Am I clamoring for outriders 2? No.
    Again the story and world are lacking, and im not quite sure how the team over at people can fly can fix it.
    I give Outriders

    Outriders on Stadia is such an unbelievable disappointment that I give a point just out of courtesy.

    I've had a real odyssey with the game, the developers and Google. But first, off to the beginning. The first trailers, stories and information blew me away. Finally, another good story with great gameplay - much like Mass Effect. That was my impression and I immediately pre-ordered    Outriders on Stadia is such an unbelievable disappointment that I give a point just out of courtesy.

    The first trailers, stories and information blew me away. Finally, another good story with great gameplay - much like Mass Effect. That was my impression and I immediately pre-ordered the game. Even the beta and early gameplays as video did not deceive this impression.

    After release I was still optimistic. Sure, it jerks in the cutscenes and here and there it doesn't run completely smoothly. The first few hours were okay, though. But then, my list of problems still not fixed until today (!), 4 months after release:

    - Some cutscenes are very jerky
    - Graphic errors in the sequences
    - Frequent loading times
    - Quest can not be completed or do not load/start
    - Quest marker does not work
    - Network code mixed with connection problems or not being able to log in.

    We played the game in a Lets Play series in co-op and it was just torture in the end. I have not experienced anything like this in 30 years. The bad thing is, the developer doesn't cater to buyers. We paid as much money as everyone else and didn't get a reasonable explanation or patches. Only once on Reddit was the Stadia version mentioned. But patches? No.

    Should you think this is in joke. Unfortunately, no.

    Google refunded me the game and I bought another game with the credit. What a disappointment that will stay with me for a long time.

    ----

    Outriders auf Stadia ist eine so unfassbare Enttäuschung, das ich einen Punkt nur aus Höflichkeit gebe.

    Ich habe eine wahre Odyssee mit dem Spiel, den Entwicklern und Google hinter mir. Aber zuerst, ab an den Anfang.

    Die erste Trailer, Geschichten und Informationen haben mich umgehauen. Endlich wieder eine gute Story mit tollem Gameplay - ganz wie Mass Effect. Das war mein Eindruck und sofort habe ich das Spiel vorbestellt. Selbst die Beta und frühren Gameplays als Video haben diesen Eindruck nicht getäuscht.

    Nach Release war ich auch noch optimistisch. Klar. Es ruckelt in den Zwischensequenzen und hier und da läuft es nicht ganz rund. Die ersten Stunden waren allerdings okay. Doch dann, meine Liste der bis heute (!), 4 Monate nach Release, noch immer nicht behobenen Probleme:

    - Zwischensequenzen ruckeln teilweise stark
    - Grafikfehler in den Sequenzen
    - Häufige Ladezeiten
    - Quest können nicht abgeschlossen werden oder laden/starten nicht
    - Questmarker funktioniert nicht
    - Netzcode durchwachsen mit Verbindungsproblemen oder das man sich nicht anmelden kann.

    Wir haben das Spiel in einer Lets Play Reihe im Coop gespielt und es war am Ende nur noch eine Quälerei. Ich habe so etwas in 30 Jahren noch nicht erlebt. Das schlimme ist, der Entwickler geht nicht auf Käufer ein. Wir haben genauso viel Geld wie alle anderen bezahlt und haben weder eine vernünftige Erklärung noch Patches erhalten. Nur selten einmal wurde auf Reddit die Stadia Version erwähnt. Aber Patches? Nein.

    Solltet Ihr glauben das wäre in Witz. Leider, nein.

    Google hat mir das Spiel erstattet und ich habe mir ein anderes Spiel mit dem Guthaben gekauft. Was für eine Enttäuschung die mir noch lange im Gedächtnis bleiben wird.    … Expand

    A day-and-date release for Stadia, but unfortunately Google's platform had to wait three weeks to see a first patch announced by Square Enix. To be honest, pc and consoles had way more urgent issues to be fixed: no one had the inventory wipe bug on Stadia and all things considered the game runs well at 1080p 60fps (framarate mode) and 4k 30fps (resolution mode).

As soon as the game will be patched, it will be crossplay with all other patforms and with an exclusive feature: "stream connect"; that allows you to see the view of the other players in the group.
    I am currently in the end-game with two of my characters, so the game on Stadia is definitely playable, the only input-lag is in the mind of the ones who don't know what "the" Stadia is :)    … Expand

    Game: 9/10 Implementation: 1/10 The story and setting are fantastic and set in a vivid and colorful sci-fi world. You experience varied areas with cool alien like enemies, the gunplay is awesome and you can customize your character in a pure diablo style with many skills, mods and talents.

    The game had great potential, but sadly the promised cross play feature was never implemented for the Stadia version and also there a many updates and patches missing for the Stadia version. I can't recommend the Stadia version in it's current state.

    I am loving it. Never been able to spend enough time to actually reach end game in games like this before. I guess this is shorter and newer. Works great for me, but I know it gets lots of hate from community, idk. I do wish they would do more to bring Stadia up to par with console and cross play

    He platinado el juego con rodos sus logros, muy bueno y entretenido, lineal pero puedes hacerlo cambiante usando diferente personaje. Lo MALO, desde que salio no han sacado parches ni mejoras en stadia una lastima.

    I only started playing the game after all the patches and it was great. I enjoyed the story line and the use of your abilities. I don't that the difficulty exponentially increased during boss fights bit that's no biggie. Good game all surfing and I never had any real issues

    Una vergüenza que Google permita la venta de este juego en su store. Seguramente dentro de unos meses lo arreglen pero 4 meses después de su lanzamiento en Stadia el juego funciona FATAL y sigue sin recibir el prometido crossplay, jamas me sentí tan engañado en la compra de un juego.

    I genuinely like Outriders and find myself thinking about the flashy intensity of its combat periodically throughout the day, but I can't recommend the Stadia version of the game right now in good faith. There are just too many bugs and server problems still with zero indication from the developer or publisher that they're interested in addressing the problems whatsoever. The character classes are great, weapon modding is full of depth, and I enjoyed the story more than expected, so maybe once things get better, it'll be different, But right now, the Stadia version of Outriders is borderline broken.

    The moments where Outriders is taking daring swings at mixing disparate elements are when it's at its best. The game is surprisingly deft at combining things that shouldn't work together: Its story is often funny but similarly severe; its combat requires you to take cover and to charge; its abilities make you phenomenally powerful but prone to overestimating yourself. If you can find the balance in Outriders, People Can Fly's RPG-shooter finds ways to combine well-worn video game ideas into something new and fun. Especially when you're accompanied by friends and put the time in to really understand the game's systems, Outriders rewards you with epic battle moments and a sprawling scope. It left me wanting to continue venturing out into the wilds of Enoch to see what I might find there--and to smash whatever it was with seismic earthquake magic.
