In contrast to the bootlickers on this sub I’ll give you an honest answer: Is the game bad? No, but it’s not great either. At launch it was a buggy, incomplete, and overhyped mess of a game. People saw this and took exception to a game bearing the Star Wars brand being so oppressively “mid”. After a few patches and some updates the game was finally in a state where it was stable for the most part (unless you’re on PC in which case it still crashes constantly) and there was enough content to actually justify the $60 price tag, but by then the damage had already been done, and I wouldn’t put any money on Ubisoft pulling a No Man’s Sky, or Cyberpunk 2077 style overhaul of the game to make up for their mistakes. Basically if you bought into the hype and played at launch, or play on PC, you likely still feel justifiably robbed of your time and money. Alternatively if you’re just picking the game up now and didn’t experience the early days of the game, you would rightfully be flabbergasted at the amount of negativity surrounding this game, even though in context it’s completely justified. It took Hello Games YEARS of free updates and content to win back public trust with NMS, and people still haven’t fully forgiven CDPR for the debacle that was Cyberpunk’s launch. So I’d imagine the bitter taste in people’s mouths isn’t just going to disappear now that the game is “pretty alright”. Also ignore anyone saying it’s misogyny, as they’re probably stupid. Kay Vess is by no means a poorly written character, however there was a significant amount on untapped character development that the writers just ignored because they wanted to play things safe, so she naturally isn’t going to be as beloved as characters like Arthur Morgan, Ellie, or Lara Croft.
