More Star Wars Outlaws clips have made their way online and they are being mocked for featuring strong female protagonist moments, terrible AI, and simply bad physics.

Former World of Warcraft Team Lead Mark Kern aka Grummz shared a couple of clips featured in a recent YouTube video by Fleakzoid. In one Grummz mocks the “immersive takedown” that is depicted when the game’s protagonist Kay Vess grabs a Stormtrooper’s helmet, slightly spins him, and then slams him into the ground head first knocking him unconscious.

Grummz posted, “I love how he doesn’t even rear his head back to resist…and his legs go limp and spagetti to enable his fall.” Of note, the Stormtrooper also immediately drops his weapon after Kay grabs him.

This dropping of the weapon was brought up in another clip, also showcased in Fleakazoid’s video. Grummz posted, “We are SO CLOSE to sending the FIRST salvo against Ubisoft’s DEI infected tripe. Do not buy this game. It’s up to you. Gamers have a voice.”

He added in a follow-up, “That gun drops with as much gravity and excitement as the entire game. Could it be any more floaty?”

 

X user Mangalawyer, who has been sharing numerous clips and pointing out how bad they are also shared one of Stormtroopers walking up point blank to Kay Vess before noticing her and pulling his gun.

He mocked, “Immerse yourself in the most empowered female character in the Star Wars universe. Journalists compare it to Red Dead Redemption 2 in space. Here are some incredible AAAA-level AI reactions.”

These clips are not alone and follow in the wake of others. Mangalawyer previously shared a clip that shows at least one NPC turning its back on Kay Vess and running in a circle instead of just shooting and killing her. Another runs into the player character instead of shooting her. When it does decide to shoot it misses her despite her standing just two feet away.

 

A clip shared by X user JawaJuice_ shows a squad of Stormtroopers firing into the side of a building while Vess does a roll 90 degrees from the direction they are facing and allegedly attempting to shoot her.

It appears the Stormtroopers knocked Vess off her bike or she jumped off her bike and the Stormtroopers are still firing at the location where they originally picked up on Vess rather than adapting to where she actually is in the game.

 

Mangalawyer shared another clip from IGN’s review that shows Vess creeping up behind a Stormtrooper. She hits him with the back of her barehand while he’s wearing a helmet and this completely knocks him unconscious.

Another clip shows Kay Vess avoiding Stormtroopers by hiding behind a single piece of cargo. Four stormtroopers just run straight past her. After they all run past her a fifth Stormtrooper allows Vess to just walk up beside him. She then defeats him by punching him in the back and then in the head. See the above video to see how ridiculous this is.

On top of all this, Stormtroopers just allow Vess’ pet to just roam around instead of shooting it. At the end of a clip, Vess fires her blaster at one Stormtrooper and an Imperial officer just continues at his tasks not noticing the loud blaster shot at all.

 

Another video shows Vess being suspended in mid-air and flailing around after she crashes her speeder bike. In another crash, she gets tossed way up into the air instead of turning into a squished bug on the side of the mountain.

 

What do you make of these new clips from Star Wars Outlaws that show just how bad the combat, AI detection, and take downs are?
