168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars Outlaws is now out in the wild, and th reaction to the title appears to be pretty lukewarm. While the game is reportedly struggling to sell, potentially causing Ubisoft's stock to drop to a 10-year low, it has also been received fairly well by critics, sittin🐻g at 76 on both and .

We'll have to wait and see whether these numbers are good enough to convince Ubisoft that the game is a success, but Star Wars Outlaws creative director Julian Gerighty is feeling "a little disappointed" by them. In a recent interview with , Gerighty has explained he's not all that happy with the game's Metacritic score, but that he's pleased fans are "connecting" with it.

"I'm a little disappointed with the Metacritic; Of course, recognition from press and critics is very important to us, but players are really connecting with what we did."

One of the biggest problems with Star Wars Outlaws at launch was that it was fairly unpolished. Plenty of reviews criticized the game's buggy release, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:including our own, but Gerighty says that the team as Massive Entertainment still feels a "sense of accomplishment" over what they've created.

No game is completely perfect though, and Star Wars Outlaws could probably do with a spit and polish more than most. Thankfully, Gerighty and the team at Massive Entertainment is planning to support the game for a considerable amount of time, as the creative director later explains that he's "never going to stop improving" Star Wars Outlaws as he thinks it's a game that people are "going to play for years and years."

That's obviously a bit of hyperbole from Gerighty, since Star Wars Outlaws isn't a live service game, and he'll eventually stop working on the game to move onto different projects, but the plan right now is to make the game the best it can be. We also have some DLC on the way, which♑ will focus on some fan-favorite characters from across the Star Wars universe, so work on Outlaws isn't done just yet.
