Rebel Galaxy Outlaw

>Epic games
How is that a bad thing?
It just means you can pirate it with no worries about devs going bankrupt.
Shame about the tranny protag though, the west is truly sick in the head for forcing this crap.

I would buy when it comes to gog

I hope there’s a good mod scene in the future, I want to pilot the swordfish and blow up TIE fighters

i see this and think "why would i play this when everspace exists?
and further i think, even NMS now looks better

Is the first game worth playing?

>forced female protagonist
based. just bought 10 copies

Not really. It's set up too much like an ARPG.
Some people cream their pants over it because you're basically playing battle ship simulator in space. So if that's your thing go for it.

First game peaked when you bought the Sorcerer, and became able to beamspam everything to death. I don't know how you could look at that, say that's bad and stick to shitty fighters in the sequel. The game being on EGS was the final nail in the coffin

I don't understand the problem with playing as a female protagonist, any person who played the game knew about her existence so having to incarnate her in the prequel doesn't seem out of place. What I don't like about it however is her disgusting model and the latent gurl power in the radio chatters

Because RGO is a fucking disappointment.

She was a radical grandma in the original, but in Outlaw she's just a boring and stereotypical """strong"""" woman with shitty one-liners.

Ok then Yea Forums,

What recent game do you suggest that has fighting/trading/exploring that doesn't have a huge learning curve and boring like X and Elite

yikes'd.

Rebel Galaxy.

>female protagonist obviously specifically designed to pander to feminists

mediocre as fuck
i like it though
it's no wing commander privateer
it's no xwing vs tie fighter
its no tachyon the fringe
its no everspace
its no house of the dying sun

but it's still decent 6.5/10 game and i'll take it because there's not many games like this anymore sadly.

The fuck are you talking about? It's absolute fucking trash.

Believe or not, is the first game protag's aunt. So she looks more or less like she looked but...less old. It's a prequel.

Was already in the middle downloading since it was free months ago, but is the sequel really that bad?

>fighting/trading/exploring
uh...no man's sky?

X3, stop being a fucking casual.

Oh look another empty space trading game with zero depth , lore or story.

Seriously what the fuck? Sci fi stories are the EASIEST to make interesting and still no space game has even come close

The sequel has nothing to do gameplay-wise.

In the first game you control cruisers/capital ships/etc. And it plays without z-axis. Just think about Black Flag ship combat but on space.

What? Outlaw is miles better so far. First one was mediocre.

old game good

new game bad

The original was more or less unique space western game about battleships, the sequel is just a bare-bones privateer clone.

The Author doesn't mind piracy, Epic DRM shenanigans is just for Cloud Saving.
He just want people having fun with a Space Sim with lots of Wing Commander Privateer throwbacks, which is why is getting a full fledged editor Later on
And he confirmed that you can even Remake Wing Commander Privateer, Freelancer and XvT/XWA on it

Also he's now occupied on the Wing Commander 1 Remake

I've been trying to get into X series for the better part of a decade. I appreciate how deep it is but fuck it I have (somewhat) of a life.

Honestly, if someone where to make open world Freespace 2 I'd probably die happy, But nope, we love in the fucked timeline where Volition makes Saints Row sequels that increase in shitty factor with every release.

Wasn't Rebel Galaxy a casual 3rd person planar spaceboat shooter?

What's all this 1st person stuff?

huh.
Epic deal really is that good then.

If it's Epic exclusive, then it's low quality.

Yeah the female protagonist straight up looks like a girl trying to be a guy, doesnt really bother me but they should have just made a Male protagonist or gone for a female that actually looks female.

She looked far more feminine on the April's Fools teaser
youtube.com/watch?v=Hy5kXCm2ct0

The overwhelming screeching of muh space fighter npcs in forums/comments for the original game made the devs think removing the unique gameplay was a good idea

Shame. I enjoyed the original even though it was incredibly unbalanced towards the end but Outlaw looks like shit from what I've seen.

>The Author
What the fuck is that even mean? Howie Day is the guy who designed the UI and cockpits. He also made that Wings of Saint Nazaire game or whatever it was called which stranded in EA.
If anything, Travis Baldree would be considered "the author" of this game. Him and I believe Eric Shaefer made the bulk of this game.

>T. Dev

I just installed a turret on my ship. Now how the fuck do I use it?

I was genuinely looking forward to this but fuck it's awful. It's literally the most soulless, lifeless shit i've ever fucking played and there's fuck all content. I mean 5 fucking ships? Fucking seriously? No traffic anywhere, the world feels dead as fuck, hold A to magically warp between places negating any fucking gameplay, press A to magically dock with no actual consideration for where the fuck you are in proximity to a station, hold left trigger to literally fucking lock on, track and perfectly aim at target, no fucking graphics options in game so you have to restart and tweak it through the shitty fucking launcher every time, fuck awful writing, terrible lead character, post processing that makes your eyes want to bleed, cutscene when you warp, cutscene when you dock, cutscene when you take off, cutscenes for fucking everything that should be fucking gameplay, can't even look around the 3D cockpits that take up 3/4 of the screen, literally no reason to even adjust your speed ever, not even a point in adjusting your yaw, pitch or rotation either when you can just hold a button to auto lock on to shit. FIVE FUCKING SHIPS.

How the fuck is it that no one has made a decent Freelancer replacement yet?

Because THIS isnt freelancer, Its Wing Commander Privateer

Freelancer is what Trainwiz is working with Underspace

>Its Wing Commander Privateer
No it's fucking not.

Don't like it.
It was a unique enough game with big ships and 2d space.
Now it's just a 3d space shooter.

nobody wants to play the game with ugly female protag.

Yes it fucking is.

Yes its shit. They literally made the same game as the previous one: Rebel Galaxy. But now with less cool ships and no broadside firing space battles. So it has literally nothing going for it.

>Yes it fucking is.
No, it's fucking not, it's literally Fisher Price babies first space game that is 99% fluff and 1% actual fucking gameplay, it's the complete fucking opposite of what Privateer was.

Have you ever played Privateer recently?
Or you will continue shitposting like the Morrowind Niggers?

This game is so devoid of content it's actually insulting. Even for that price.

Couldn't find it on steam where i have the last game so i gave up. Fuck the chinks free Tibet.

I will pirate it later tonight to see how shit it is. Rebel Galaxy should be boats in space.

I was playing it right up until Outlaws release faggot, now go and shill your garbage elsewhere, pr better still unfuck your game and next time don't squander 90% of the development on frivolous shit.

>Read through thread
I'm having second thoughts about even pirating it

Did you pirate? Surely the game can't be that empty. Surely has to be some anti piracy bullshit right?

Yes that game is that empty. Why is it hard to believe?

> Surely has to be some anti piracy bullshit right?
The game is DRM-free.

The dev spent their entire marketing budget shitting on scam citizen so I was hoping they wouldn't be equally as shitty.

Played it for 15 min. Its barely playable with kb&m and I don't want to use a gamepad. Hud takes 50% of the screen, there is no tutorial at all.

Got refunded and reinstalled X3TC.

Everything I've read before this thread is that it's a totally different game, and also not still shit.

You're right on. I played 15 min and couldn't find how to adjust speed. It's an insult to space sim. Its so casualised, it makes me want to throw up.

It's just a glorified shootem up in 3D.

If they would have kept the broadside gameplay it would be a LITTLE bit fun at least. Worst decision ever.

And I played on "sim" difficulty level.

>Holy fuck, it's so good
wut

I loved the look of the art direction and the chunky cockpits, but this game does nothing well at all. Combat is shallow ass, exploration is non-existent, trading is shallow, missions are shallow (trading missions are literally press B to undock, press A to warp to destination, press A to dock, mission complete, you don't even need to find or talk to someone or fly at all it just auto does everything with crappy hud prompts), there's never anything going on around stations outside of random warp encounters and they clearly wasted the entire budget on voice acting and animating terrible cutscenes etc

It makes Everspace look fucking brilliant and Everspace was 7/10 at best, but at least it has really solid core mechanics that are fun. I might actually go back and play NMS Outlaw is that bad.

RG is boats in space. Outlaw is not. Completely different and it sounds like Outlaw also sucks.

played for 10 minutes but theres nothing explained and the UI is shit

Yeah I kinda liked it in the first game. It was very repetitive but it was awesome to destroy tons of smaller fighters with 8 laser beam.

So this is why they went EGS exclusive, the game is dogshit and they knew it.

Pretty much, but they did a good job of marketing it.

Fuck off shill

7/10 for everspace is accurate but why do you make it sound like it's bad. It and House of the dying sun were decent games.

I like how all the youtubereviewers all gave this game good reviews.

They're both good games, but after a few hours i'd seen everything they had to offer with very little replayability and Everspace's "Roguelike" design really didn't do it for me.

I expect a game like Outlaw that supposedly features exploration, trading, combat etc to have at least a little meat on it's bones, but it's literally an emaciated husk floating through space wrapped in neon christmas lights.

>but theres nothing explained
Good god how awful

Not him, but it actually is awful because despite being dumbed down to all fuck, nothing is intuitive at all.

It took me several minutes just to find the stat that tells me how much cargo my ship can hold because apparently it's not mentioned in any of the upgrade menus, let alone the cargo hold upgrade options, nor is it mentioned in the ship stats or at the ship dealer.

And there's so much shit in the stupid radial menu that doesn't need to be there and a ton of useful shit that does, the whole thing feels like a UI clusterfuck.

This game is just weird. Everything about it feels fucking weird. There's no tutorial, which is fine, but everything else is extremely fucking casual. So if you're going for a casual audience, why not include a tutorial? And the gameplay itself is absolutely retarded, literally hold LT to win. Then there's the missions which is just an infinite grindy loop. Some missions require you to transport cargo to another solar system. So you'll have to "jump" like 6 times. 6x loading screens and 6x waiting. FUN. There's also a story or something but nobody cares.

I like all this press about this game
Both because there aren't NEARLY enough games like this, and this new exposure might drum up new interest in the genre, which is fantastic

But also because it reminds me that I've never actually played Freelancer, and I really should get around to that. What's the best way to do it these days? Any essential mods, or should I just raw-dog it?

Freelancer aged badly.

Why is there not a single (1) modern game of this genre that's actually GOOD? Everspace, Rebel Galaxy and No Man's Sky I suppose they all fall short. Elite Dangerous can be fun I guess if you have autism. But there's just no good space games fuck.

Mouse & kb controls are fucking awful, if you don't have a gamepad or hotass don't even bother.
Also, there's no exploration whatsoever since you just fast travel everywhere, combat is extremely simplistic and the amount of ships and customizations for them are pretty lacking.

Overrall 65 / 100, somewhat pretty to look at Freelancer clone that is even more casual than it was.

Just raw dog that shit with some widescreen hacks, that's all you need.

t.Outlaw Dev

Freelancer has aged superbly because despite not doing anything really all that ground breaking (which makes it all that much stranger that no one is yet to best it), it manages to do everything incredibly solidly in a thoroughly enjoyable package with a decent story to boot. Not to mention actual exploration, tense combat and actual fucking content.

Underspace is literally just a freelancer clone

Just get a widescreen patch and that's it

Freelancer is one of the best space games, only topped by Freespace 1 and 2. IMO its storyline is "cinematic experience" done right.
Check out PC gaming wiki. I highly recommend using the widescreen patch that involves Jason's dll patch. You'll recognize it easily enough.

There's supposed to be an option to turn off fast travel and let you travel through the system at high speed.

lurk moar

Yeah there's a sublight option but the problem is there's literally nothing worthwhile to see so you're just wasting your time.

And yeah space is supposed to be mostly empty but I mean asteroid belts, nebulae and the like. It's very obvious they didn't put any effort to it and just expected everyone to fast travel everywhere.

And that's a good thing.

Real talk, yes i'm a fucking retard, but how the fuck do I refund shit on EGS?

I legitimately thought the devs would have learned something after Rebel Galaxy but this is somehow even shallower, not even memeing when I say I think you could complete the games with only three buttons and no sticks.

Western principles involve glorifying the ugly.

Prepare your anus, it's a horrible process.

epicgames.com/site/en-US/store-refund-policy

Because the size of the audience can’t support the budget that would be required. Unless you bleed them dry like Star Citizen.

X3 isn't that good as a dogfight simulator.

>Say main character is awesome
>She's actually painfully written, poorly voiced and generic as fuck.

What did the devs mean by this?

>Holy fuck, it's so good
It's bad.

I really wanted to like this, but I don't, at all. I am shocked that anyone thinks it's good.

the dev gameplay stream should've clued you in on all of this

Imagine thinking this was a good idea for the starting ship, it's like squinting out of a porthole for the first few hours, you can't even look around inside the cockpit.

Attached: thefuck.jpg (3440x2880, 862K)

Outlaw is unironically the one that achieves its goal the best, which is to be a simple arcady space fighting game. No Man's Sky is supposed to be a planet explorer but their proc gen is too limited. E:D is supposed to be a full space sim but they stopped working the minute they were tasked to add depth. Limit theory was supposed to exist.

what do you mean looking around in a 6DOF game? just use the lockon function you silly!

Jesus fuck why is this even a fucking thing in Outlaw.

>It's a dogfighting game
>But we've designed it so you don't actually have to dogfight and even if you wanted to the mechanics don't support it at all

Christ I hope mods can salvage this mess because I really do dig the more colourful aesthetic and light hearted nature, but it's such ass to play.

I mean the author went insane from making it too hard

based dev

Which game is that?

House of the Dying Sun. It's not great.

House of the Dying Sun.

Shit. It looked fun.

Don't listen to the other faggot, pirate it, make your own mind up, buy it if you like it.

It's not bad. Pretty good at the combat part, it's just lacking in other areas.

So is the original game worth playing? What about Everspace? I've seen that one mentioned in this thread too a couple of times. This type of game intrigues me.

I think he just went insane. Everybody works. He went full blown bipolar between thinking it was his destiny to wanting to neck himself. And that only seemed to get worse after he started stepping away.
Nigga probably needed a handler and therapy.

Has some good design decisions regarding combat and if you're into replaying strike missions at increasingly harder difficulty you're going to find more than enough fun with it

Everspace is a rogue-like, it's only comparable to these other games on the surface.

>So is the original game worth playing?
Neither the original or this is worth playing, Everspace is worth picking up on sale. If it was open world ala Freelancer it'd be GOTAY.

He was committed to an actual asylum for some time.

>on the surface
That's enough for me. How many good looking space games are there?

The worse thing is I still hope SC will release one delay and it will be good. It's the only hope. Yes I bought it but only the starter pack. For now there is just nothing to do. Enemy AI isn't even programmed to attack you.

I hope Underspace will be good too.

Oh fugg

Shiiiiiit. I'm jelly. He's set for life.

My issue is playing with any set protagonist. I generally tend to not like games without character creation in any case, but what really sticks in my craw when games like these have a set protagonist is that the selling points usually include something like "exploythe entire universe, go anywhere, do anything" yeah except not play as your shitty character. Fuck that

>It's the only hope.
For fools.

Hello

There's a demo for Underspae out already

ZOMG I SAW A TIE FIGHTER AND I CLAPPED

As if the story couldn't get more shit, he apparently popped up a few months ago saying he'd release the source code for the game to try to create some silver lining. And, as is tradition, that was the last people heard from him.

The first one was decent because of it's uniqueness. This one is just dogshit.

Abominación alienígena desde el espacio!

>Everytime
How many times has that happened? How many threads have I missed? This game came out yesterday and I've seen like 4-5 threads about it.

Apparently the Everspace guys are going to reveal a new game in 5 days that’s will remove the rougelike elements in favor of a more Freelancer-esque experience
everspace.game/
Link to their website with a countdown

I've played it. It's not well optimized but it plays like Freelancer, even down to the tradelanes

The low number of ships doesn’t bother me. Privateer only had 4 playable ships. The question is 1) do these ships fee fun and unique to pilot and 2) are they highly customizable?

U mad?

When exactly does the combat music trigger? The custom music thing is neat

It's fun at first, but gets really repetitive midway through

>unique
>Ship combat but in spaaaaaaace
wow cool unique gameplay bro

What other game does this? Exactly. Now fuck off back to plebbit.

Is that legal?

Technically

They had a kickstarter and steam page with no repercussions despite the Freelancer community trying to get microsoft to sue them

Holy shit fuck yes.

Yes because they're not making freelancer or the IP.

This doesn't look like Freelancer but not, this looks fucking identical.
