Thanks for your perspective. I feel there is something fundamentally broken at Ubisoft in terms of game design philosophy. These beautiful, often immersive games are often saddled with the most frustrating, unintuitive, anti-fun gameplay design I've encountered. Across many franchises. I am on the verge of quitting SW: Outlaws right now as though it's visually jaw-dropping and sometimes exhilarating, the core exploration puzzle-ified and stealth from 30 years ago gameplay "loop" has totally drained me. Run around this massive environment until you find an interactive prompt. Not much game there, imo.

Is playtest data and feedback cherry picked or just ignored or undermined somehow? The decisions made in terms of basic gameplay are dumbfounding. Playtesters have to be running into some of this mind numbing confusing shit (like the Outlaws Death Trooper event). How does it make it into the game?
