Outriders Inventory Wipe Bug Fixed? Apr 20, 2021

Show notes

An Outriders Inventory wipe fix has been deployed by People Can Fly but some are still reporting that it is happening. Thankfully the Outriders Inventory Wipe bug never hit one of my characters. Outriders gameplay continues to garner support and engagement even with the risk of losing all of your loot. Outriders continues to have problems and bugs addressed by People Can Fly. The more glaring and obviously scary and frustrating bug was the chance of having all of your inventory wiped due to a crash. This is obviously concerning for two reasons: First, crashes continue to happen and make gameplay with others a challenge, and Second, losing all of your inventory is probably the worst thing that could happen in a game like Outriders. People Can Fly has deployed another patch that they hope will be another step toward it no longer happening and restoration of lost loot is still TBD. Outriders is a cooperative role-playing third-person video game developed by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix's European subsidiary. It was released on April 1, 2021 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Stadia.

Outriders Expeditions Review - A Content Loop With Flaws Apr 19, 2021

Show notes

An Outriders Expeditions guide will surely help those looking to maximize efficiency. My Outriders Expedition Devastator is at a decent place, the but content loop is still very flawed. We started trying an Outriders Expedition farm to get the loot required to maximize my power. Outriders launched without any planned live service features and People Can Fly made it very clear they wanted this game to be a complete package. When they outlined the post-campaign content with the Expeditions, Challenge Tiers, and the Eye of the Storm many were very hopeful about a robust and complete endgame. In the weeks since launch, however, many design flaws, problems, bugs, and performance issues have made the endgame content fall flat for some. Recently nerfs to class bullet abilities are attempting to rectify some ground level imbalances within the Outriders classes. Just yesterday we discussed the Devastator and now I'd like to review the Expeditions as a content piece. Outriders is a cooperative role-playing third-person video game developed by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix's European subsidiary. It was released on April 1, 2021 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Stadia.

Outriders Devastator Too Weak? Apr 15, 2021

Show notes

Outriders Devastator build is a tough challenge for some players right now. I recently started trying an Outriders Devastator Bleed Build and really enjoyed it. Many are pointing to the Outriders Devastator abilities as to why the class is lagging behind in power and speed. The real question is will the Outriders Devastator DPS build emerge? Outriders classes have been combed over since the launch as players look for the strongest and fastest DPS builds. One of the main reasons this is the motivation for the player base is because Expeditions reward the players based on speed of completion. Regardless of how players want to approach the game, the actual reward incentives motivate the fastest and most efficient builds. The Devastator has been singled out as the only class to not have an inherent ability to buff ammo, which is a huge source of DPS in the end game. Even rough Technomancer or Trickster builds are able to output very high levels of damage before even doing any min maxing while the Devastator is practically required to grind and build just to keep up. So what's the solution? Outriders is a cooperative role-playing third-person video game developed by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix's European subsidiary. It was released on April 1, 2021 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Stadia.

Outriders Big Nerfs Announced Apr 13, 2021

Show notes

Outriders nerfs were recently announced on reddit and many are very concerned. The Outriders gameplay was starting to shift toward Technomancer and Trickster while Devastator was getting left in the dust. The strong Outriders Trickster build and the Outriders Technomancer build is making Expeditions run very smoothly, but nerfs may change that. Outriders has only been out for a week and the first batch of class ability nerfs have been outlined. After just a few days many players and content creators were pointing out how strong certain ammo abilities were for all classes, specifically the Technomancer and the Trickster. It even got to the point that the Devastator was a trending topic on reddit due to so many folks getting kicked from late game matchmaking since it was singled out as the "slowest class". Many are concerned that it is way too soon for nerfs and that buffs should be the response, while others see these as outlier problems in need of tuning before buffs happen. So which is it? Outriders is a cooperative role-playing third-person video game developed by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix's European subsidiary. It was released on April 1, 2021 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Stadia.

Outriders Campaign Review Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

Outriders campaign length is a pretty decent sized playthrough with a lot of side quests and monster hunts if you want them. My Outriders Campaign review will consist of discussion about the structure, story, leveling, and looting aspects. I thought the Outriders campaign story was surprisingly good and satisfying. I also enjoy the Outriders campaign gameplay for the most part. The Outriders campaign is a bit of a rollercoaster, even after experiencing the Prologue in the Outriders beta, the ups, downs, and sudden deaths can give the player a bit of whiplash after a while. While I approached it in a slightly different way than others, I would wager to guess that lots of players enjoy playing through a story quickly to see what happens, leaving the loot chase, modding, and end game for later. At a ground level the campaign does its job and tells a unique story, even if some of the moments are bit canned, cliché, or even somewhat awkward and forced. Overall I thought there was room for improvement with respect to World Tiers, modding, crafting, and loot chase. Outriders is a cooperative role-playing third-person video game developed by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix's European subsidiary. It was released on April 1, 2021 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Stadia.

Cyberpunk 2077 Still in Bad Shape Apr 09, 2021

Show notes

Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer gameplay may not happen according to recent news about that portion of the game. The Cyberpunk 2077 trailer lead many to believe this game would be monumental in the gaming world. But if you read a single Cyberpunk 2077 review, you will find conflicting reports. Even after a recent Cyberpunk 2077 update, many are saying the game still has a long way to go. Cyberpunk 2077 launched to a litany of criticisms. Not only does CD Projekt Red have a lot to live up to given their history with titles like The Witcher 3, but the way it was marketed and advertised lead many to believe this game would be a massive game changer. From the embarrassing performance on old consoles, to Sony removing it from the digital store, and now the news about the standalone multiplayer getting the axe, many are curious if this game will ever get to where it was supposed to be. Can it pull the same comeback story from such a fall from grace the likes of something in the vein of No Man's Sky? Cyberpunk 2077 is a 2020 action role-playing video game developed and published by CD Projekt.

Outriders Had a Bad Launch Apr 07, 2021

Show notes

Outriders release has been nothing short of rocky and inconsistent. Outriders PC had issues with stuttering and crashes, Outriders on console suffered some reports of crashes and frame drops. The worst part, that automatically affects everyone, Outriders servers continue to go down and struggle with stability. For those of us who enjoyed the beta, it has certainly taken the wind out of our sails. Outriders release has now made it through the launch weekend, but not without some serious server issues. After a month long Outriders beta, many are left wondering when things will finally settle down for long enough periods of meaningful progress and grinding. I myself have made barely any post-demo progress due to PC stuttering, troubleshooting, and crashes. Eventually giving up and heading to my XBOX Series X was not enough to protect me from global server issues. Even throughout the Friday and Saturday after launch the servers were down for long periods of time. What does this mean for the game long term? Outriders is a cooperative role-playing third-person video game developed by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix's European subsidiary. It was released on April 1, 2021 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Stadia.

Outriders First Impressions Apr 06, 2021

Show notes

Outriders gameplay review and first impressions. My time with Outriders live was definitely a mixed bag of experiences. Outriders Devastator and my Outriders Devastator Build was a lot of fun, but the PC experience was not so great. Outriders release is finally upon us and the feedback on the game is somewhat mixed right now. The initial launch rolled out according to time zone for the consoles, and eventually hit the PC platform at 12pm Eastern. After a month long demo many players were frustrated to find the PC version of the game plagued with stuttering, frame rate, and crashing problems. People Can Fly are immediately working to rectify the stuttering issues with both tips, advice, and even their own updates. Cross play issues and server capacity were also emerging as challenges for players and the launch day, but that is more likely to be expected for a game release like Outriders. Let's breakdown the actual meat of the game in spite of the technical problems and challenges. Outriders is a cooperative role-playing third-person video game developed by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix's European subsidiary. It was released on April 1, 2021 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Stadia.

Outriders Must Know Gear System Info Apr 04, 2021

Show notes

Outriders gameplay will have both world tiers and challenge tiers. The Outriders gear will be able to level with you to a certain degree and People Can Fly released info on Reddit about how it will work. Outriders info continues to come out right up until release, and you will want to know this. The Outriders gear system is something that players have been dying to dive into with respect to both crafting, modding, and more. Recently People Can Fly put a nice graph on reddit to make it clear exactly how the World Tiers and Challenge Tiers will work in relation to the level of the gear that you find. The Outriders end game has been touted as fully fleshed out and completely separate from the main campaign. Even though the game will not have "live service features", it still seems they have been very thoughtful and thorough with how the post-campaign experience will work.
