00:00:00okay hello and thank you for joining me here on the eyes of a gaming channel as
00:00:17we continue our outriders demo playthrough
00:00:23oh we are on this is episode 3 I guess I'm actually I'm really surprised at
00:00:36just how much demo there is so yeah I don't know how much longer I have on
00:00:49this demo like how far it goes could be a short episode I'm not going to write
00:00:57McCain off yet he's one tough son of a bitch
00:01:00oh I know you're dialogue questions I don't have time you let me sleep in a
00:01:08few too many fucking years I think you can find some time
00:01:20okay how did this war start again why'd you start fighting when the anomaly got
00:01:27bad we had only just begun the colonization there were still more than
00:01:33half a million frozen in cryo waiting for us to wake them but we already knew
00:01:39we couldn't feed them all so one faction argued to just pull the power and let
00:01:47them die in their sleep preserve the resource oh boy the others wanted to
00:01:53give them a chance to live I can guess which side you were on I was I was wrong
00:02:00we tried to be fair and to ration what we had but it only led to bloodshed your
00:02:13enemy what did they want what do any of us want to have enough but there isn't
00:02:21enough food enough water anything they won't settle until they have all we have
00:02:26they want to destroy us so I need to destroy them first I don't understand
00:02:34how there's so many people though that's what I don't get what am I now altered
00:02:41help me understand what do you want to know how many are there there are lesser
00:02:49ones all over with small and strange mutations but those with true power only
00:02:56a handful still more than I'm comfortable with but the soldiers revere
00:03:02them as gods the other altered out there who do they fight for whoever the
00:03:15fuck they want you think anyone controls them the ones who fight with us they at
00:03:21least seem to have a reason for it some shred of humanity still but on the other
00:03:26side they're demonic wrathful gods machines of death there's nothing human
00:03:32left that won't happen I pray that's true okay
00:03:56this is insane I've watched you take this photo a few hours ago that was a
00:04:06lifetime ago that girl you met that day is long gone
00:04:13girl never survived take it I don't need it anymore okay why why do I want
00:04:27it yeah just throwing it back you've been gone too long to understand how
00:04:39truly fucked we are there can be more than 50 or 60,000 of us left more on the
00:04:46other side than ours soon they'll be none of us left to fight the insurgents
00:04:52last assault was a distraction there were digging tunnels and planting
00:04:58charges right beneath us they blew our front line all to hell I noticed the
00:05:06reports of casualties are uncountable and one of my best men was out there
00:05:11lieutenant McCain but a message just got through and he's trapped under the
00:05:17rubble still alive I don't have any moment to spare so I need to go save him
00:05:24I need you to get him out it's the least I just hope it's not like an escort
00:05:33mission gods do I hate escort missions I want to hear the moment our search
00:05:39parties turn up anything about McCain
00:05:43Tara Inferno
00:05:52I need to find him okay let's see reunion speak with to leave for first
00:06:05city Tara Inferno yeah I don't know
00:06:24I guess we'll do this one first and then yeah that's main quest so we'll do the
00:06:30side quest let's go where do you think the signal is meets me just some fake
00:06:40hope bullshit for losers who can't accept the world has gone to shit but I
00:06:45guess that's our goddamn mission now so meet us at my garage when you're ready
00:06:53okay we're gonna go reach lieutenant lieutenant McCain I hope he has some
00:07:09one what does McCain make fries McCain's oh no a loading screen
00:07:20these loading screens are so long this really does remind me of one of those
00:07:30what is it focus home interactive RPGs the dialogue is a little weird in the
00:07:40freaking loading screens I don't know I generally have a positive experience
00:07:55with those RPGs but they're usually kind of like hmm how can you say it they I
00:08:08find they're usually like a Witcher style RPG but just done on a budget it's
00:08:21like the b-movie version it's like if you if you like
00:08:32oh cool I didn't know you could do that
00:08:44yeah so it's like if you like Lord of the Rings and then you decide to watch
00:08:55in the name of the king or something like maybe you could enjoy it and it's
00:09:04a similar sort of thing like there's you know all those sort of like sword
00:09:13sword and sorcery and stuff like that oh okay so they don't respond but it's
00:09:28just not the same level
00:09:32this is where the collapse started I don't McCain survive this I don't need
00:09:38your doubts I don't need your doubts now should I do this or should I go for
00:09:51that exclamation point I guess we'll do it we'll just go here and do this
00:10:04Wow
00:10:08really what
00:10:18was that necessary we couldn't just hopped it and then I guess they needed a
00:10:27loading screen because it's another zone
00:10:30is that it wow the number of loading screens is just like I don't want to be
00:10:43too hard on this game it is what it is like it's a yeah it really reminds me of
00:10:51like a lower area objective I don't know it's like a lower quality RPG not low
00:11:09quality like I don't know like it's made by people who
00:11:22I don't know how to explain it I don't know how to say it nicely like people
00:11:27who probably are very passionate about what they're doing
00:11:39but
00:11:43maybe don't have the budget or
00:11:47the experience
00:11:50and that's you know that's not to knock them like it is what it is but it's
00:12:19Square Enix so you would think that they would I guess it is a demo I'm I'm
00:12:25judging it more based on the the dialogue
00:12:34which is really funny
00:12:40and
00:12:43yeah the other thing that's probably a little unfair is that I'm also judging
00:12:53it based on the fact
00:13:00that I don't really like these online style RPG stuff
00:13:10like
00:13:14I'm kind of comparing it to like a really good single-player RPG which just
00:13:25isn't fair I guess because they're different like they're different games
00:13:30right you know
00:13:33different styles the single-player stuff tries really hard to you know focus on
00:13:48the storylines and making sure everything runs really smoothly
00:13:56whereas typically with like online stuff what's the main focus well to make an
00:14:18enjoyable multiplayer or co-op experience right you're gonna have a
00:14:32greater focus on on other aspects
00:14:48I would say that the way
00:15:19this kind of fails for me in them like the most negative thing is just how kind
00:15:29of repetitive it is right
00:15:35which again that's because it's a multiplayer thing like they just want
00:15:50you to do this kind of multiplayer missions and that's that
00:16:05Oh
00:16:35Oh
00:16:45please
00:16:48oh man it's putting shields on them it's just annoying what oh man like how
00:17:08many grenades
00:17:29come on I'm pressing the thing
00:17:39oh my god oh my god this is just insane it just gets to be too ridiculous again
00:17:55I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be playing this in co-op so that's probably
00:18:02why that said
00:18:32the number of grenades is just really overkill too
00:19:32keeps telling you to be aggressive but that's impossible when you're being
00:19:37blown up you need to retreat due to the number of grenades right
00:19:46Oh
00:20:00just stay covered everybody
00:20:05Oh
00:20:13no
00:20:18what how is that not hitting them
00:20:23oh my god
00:20:54Oh
00:21:08oh that's where those grenades are coming from
00:21:14Oh
00:21:21that's his deal oh my god just annoying
00:21:35okay well there goes the cover I was running to
00:21:44Oh
00:22:02well there's nothing I can do there yeah I was kind of screwed I had to do
00:22:14that run away and run back right
00:22:27reload come on
00:22:44Oh
00:22:55yeah
00:22:58Oh
00:23:11what is that not him I see it moving
00:23:17Oh
00:23:22like I can see movement but apparently it's not him weird that I can't really
00:23:36see
00:23:48Oh
00:23:56yeah
00:24:01Oh and it blew up
00:24:17I just can't move up because then that other guy's gonna get me
00:24:34I need to kind of level the playing field a little bit before I move up
00:24:55I guess it's gonna keep spawning new ones anyway
00:25:13Oh
00:25:25what
00:25:43Oh
00:25:55I
00:26:09just got a stupid shield up
00:26:25Oh
00:26:35oh man what pretty sure I did it first
00:26:41Oh
00:26:46what come on I died as I was pulling in that thing Oh Frick
00:27:11Oh
00:27:41Oh
00:28:12all right come on this is getting boring
00:28:20doing the same fight
00:28:42Oh
00:28:49yeah I don't know I thought there was gonna be more like story in this game oh
00:28:59man come on I piss off with that freezing crap
00:29:11Oh
00:29:23gotta give me a chance here
00:29:27Oh
00:29:29Oh
00:29:39what
00:29:42it's supposed to show you when he's doing that
00:29:48Oh
00:29:54oh man come on let's go
00:30:18oh come on do it
00:30:25oh my god aggravating more than anything
00:30:36okay we got him finally
00:30:47okay now I have to be careful not to die because I really don't want to do that
00:31:03again
00:31:18the other problem that I find with this
00:31:26is with that
00:31:37like when they're in cover like you should be able to shoot them
00:31:47but somehow it gets blocked by cover even though like they've got their head
00:31:52poked up or something oh man are you kidding me
00:32:18it's probably too far away
00:32:22Oh
00:32:35okay finally
00:32:42that was
00:32:45that was a bit of a frustrations
00:32:59all right
00:33:03box
00:33:11some stuff
00:33:15like it has to go to a cutscene for all these things
00:33:28okay this one's a little bit more chance so quiet
00:33:34I'll do I have to fight another thing another one of those oh never mind
00:33:49hey Shira what am I looking at some kind of walking giant out here keep your
00:33:55voice down a writer you don't want it to notice you believe me it can wipe out
00:34:01even the altered respect them what is it
00:34:09Oh
00:34:21hold on I got you wait wait don't shoot we're all in this together right now I
00:34:33got you
00:34:36lieutenant McCain all right I'm alive thank you soldier it's okay now let's
00:34:46get the rest of my men out yeah it's kind of what I expected
00:34:56fuck seriously war is war what you think we just yeah yep exactly that's
00:35:13kind of the impression I'm getting from the whole game actually like I'm not
00:35:21gonna lie this is like it just feels like there's no point to things like
00:35:31you're just I don't know maybe I just need to keep going but it's
00:35:52like the story it was so interesting at first and it's progressively just
00:36:00getting less interesting I guess because they just wanted you to have this
00:36:04constant warfare because they want to have a game where it just goes on
00:36:13indefinitely right but I don't know
00:36:23everlast okay let's try it yeah I find when they do these kind of things like
00:36:35online stuff where they just want indefinitely going on so that they can
00:36:41usually they want you to buy like loot crates or whatever other bullshit that
00:36:45they've got you know some kind of an online store right the story ends up
00:36:53taking a real hit because of that because there's no what's the word
00:37:04closure like there's no conclusion right like you're just going on forever
00:37:11in this state of war or whatever and I feel like that's probably what this is
00:37:19going to be
00:37:23search for items madam of war
00:37:31okay I don't know who that is like this looks cool like the world itself looks
00:37:41pretty cool and the overall story of what's going on could be great like you
00:37:48could do like a whole yeah like this war but that I feel like it's just the way
00:37:59it's being done like it's just I don't know the very the very beginning like
00:38:12that intro the prologue was so cool
00:38:17but yeah I don't know it's just losing its luster let me know what you guys
00:38:29think though like maybe I'm just being a downer about it maybe it's actually
00:38:34pretty cool but like I feel like it's just rinse and repeat go to a mission
00:38:40zone get into a firefight like this you take cover you shoot them you send your
00:38:54whatever attacks out
00:38:59your magic attacks maybe fight one of those other dudes and that's it it's
00:39:13just rinse and repeat over and over
00:39:24like I feel like even a game like a straight-up shooter like Call of Duty or
00:39:39something it has more story than this or more I don't know if story is the right
00:39:48word okay I just got killed more like during the mission so during these
00:40:06missions it's literally just
00:40:11it's just this like there's nothing else there's nothing which I imagine is
00:40:18done purposely so that when you're playing with people right you can play
00:40:23co-op or something and you you're shouting back and forth with tactics or
00:40:28whatever so they just want like generic enemy chatter you know things like that
00:40:42whereas you know you play like a Call of Duty or something you get you're
00:40:48shooting and stuff and then you get to a point and then it's like oh hey we need
00:40:57to blow up this thing in order to pass through the bridge line or something
00:41:12so any so yeah so there's always like something kind of going on those more
00:41:25sort of scripted events
00:41:32rather than just everything being very generic
00:41:42because that's what I'm feeling right now is just everything is just very very
00:41:57generic
00:42:06which you know I guess maybe I should have
00:42:15looked into a little bit more I just thought it was a straight-up RPG
00:42:27you
00:42:53really come on
00:42:57Oh
00:43:15move up fall back move up fall back move up fall back
00:43:27Oh
00:43:57Oh
00:44:15there we go
00:44:19actually maybe a better comparison would be like Borderlands you know this
00:44:30similar to Borderlands which even that game is a little boring and single-player
00:44:39I played it with a friend and it was a lot of fun I played it single-player oh
00:44:45man that game ever boring
00:45:15because it's yeah I guess Borderlands is a lot like this it's just like those
00:45:25constant kind of generic
00:45:30firefights right
00:45:35I guess I gotta wait
00:46:15I definitely prefer the graphics and the style of this over something like
00:46:29Borderlands though I never really got into that really cartoony
00:46:37style that they went for I always prefer a realism look
00:46:52come on poke your head out
00:46:56I'm not sure how they know that you're targeting them
00:47:26again
00:47:34more enemies spawning
00:47:56Oh
00:48:20hey I think we made it
00:48:25okay I don't know what I'm harvesting or why I'm harvesting it but you know
00:48:34that's what we're doing I guess I should be checking my loot at some point
00:48:45maybe it's for trading
00:49:01take that
00:49:04all right taking a thing a holographic disc
00:49:17oh it's up here these are convenient though okay where are we turning these
00:49:37in I think we are turning them all in back here so we'll just travel on back
00:49:53here have a nice loading screen I'm sure
00:49:59again I'm being very critical of the game I guess you could say but I am
00:50:10still extremely impressed with the fact that they made a demo like this like
00:50:23crazy
00:50:29I don't think I've ever played a demo that lasted this long the only thing
00:50:54that even came close was I had a demo for a pinball game once and the demo was
00:51:06just you were allowed to play but if you wanted other pinball machines you had to
00:51:18buy them so oh no we don't want to do that yet stash is not available okay
00:51:31what is this I think one of these is oh man I'm getting stuck this really makes
00:51:40like the style really reminds me of Technomancer and I like that because I
00:51:45enjoyed Technomancer
00:51:50my museum's free for looking
00:52:00Beastie Boys on vinyl even on earth these were hard to come by you collector
00:52:09someone gotta be everyone else is all too ready to forget how did uh all this
00:52:17get here well when we left earth all we all got was one box of our things but
00:52:23now people got no interest all the junk we brought not me this is our history
00:52:32while we was lost my little Museum of Earth always looking for donations
00:52:45it still has an ink how like a long story thank you what about that thing I
00:53:10just got
00:53:12memories of the past the future means so little if you come across anything else
00:53:19from old earth there's a home for it here okay holographic yeah I remember
00:53:33used to be we thought was keeping these for generations to come one of these see
00:53:43our movies our stories how we lived and loved now it all may as well never have
00:53:52existed
00:53:54ok select a reward maybe I want this because heatwave increases by 23 damage
00:54:14because I don't like my helmet so I think I'm gonna go for that
00:54:22alright let's check out our loot here I've never liked helmets that cover your
00:54:32character's face because why go to the well at least in games where you
00:54:37customize them because honestly why go to the trouble of customizing your
00:54:42character and then cover up the customization right I get just seems
00:54:49kind of silly doesn't it
00:54:54ok so we've got that terrestrial pioneer clip size where do we have that compare
00:55:02off compare on there we go 5040 rpm not a big deal damage is up reload is a
00:55:12little bit longer and it's not terrible
00:55:15accuracy is up quite a bit stability is up range is up let's give it a shot
00:55:21let's try it we're going to try that
00:55:24ok now let's see this one 187 stability is down automatic bolt action
00:55:48yeah you know I don't even know if it needs to be automatic because as long as
00:55:57the damage is up high enough you don't really need that right
00:56:0366 range is much higher you know I'm going to go with this and see give it a
00:56:11shot we'll see how it goes
00:56:24we're going to keep this one for now mainly because it has all those rounds
00:56:29a lot of rumors about Grand Marshal Koopman finding a new alter and I like
00:56:37to have a sidearm with a bunch of rounds that you can throw out there
00:56:42I don't even know what you're talking about buddy but what we are going to do
00:56:50is we're gonna how do we sell things we're going to sell a bunch of crap
00:56:58mmm definitely sell all of this
00:57:04Oh
00:57:07is there any way to like
00:57:23what
00:57:27ok so if I go like this
00:57:37I don't know what I'm doing right now actually
00:57:46I thought I was marking it for sale all sell three items
00:57:57oh ok I see how you do it yeah it's just the thing is there's a bit of a delay
00:58:04and it's a little glitchy that way so
00:58:16there we go
00:58:19ok we're just going to leave speak with blah blah blah
00:58:26we don't want to do that
00:58:29what we want to do
00:58:32is turn in
00:58:35this quest
00:58:40and then I think after that that's going to be that
00:58:45we'll save the next mission for next stream but we're going to turn this one
00:58:53in and see what she's got to say
00:58:57I want to hear the moment our search parties turn up anything about mccain
00:59:01is annoying
00:59:07what do you need
00:59:10your lieutenant's dead
00:59:13tell me he died like a hero sure
00:59:17well that's what you want to hear he was a real fucking hero
00:59:22whatever we did know that this is war
00:59:26almost be forgiven until
00:59:30are you so sure it's even worth winning anymore
00:59:36ok she sounds like she's got a polish accent
00:59:41155 154
00:59:47I don't know
00:59:52sure go with this
00:59:59oh there we go bullet absorption feed the flames
01:00:02yeah sure
01:00:11God

01:00:17ok
01:00:21now we've got that
01:00:27what are you standing there for
01:00:30assign new quest what I don't know what it was saying there
01:00:36sign new quest quest map
01:00:40yeah okay so
01:00:43we're going to end this here
01:00:48and I guess next episode we're going to continue on with the main story
01:00:54it looks like
01:00:58that is what we do
01:01:01what is this what is this exclamation point
01:01:05oh

01:01:12all right
01:01:17can I get over there
01:01:26maybe not
01:01:32I have no idea how to get over there but it looks like there's a quest over there
01:01:35somehow
01:01:46but the hounds got wiped out I want to see if I can get other vendors
01:01:50yeah like what is this
01:01:55hold to enter the store like does this assign a quest or how does this work
01:01:59please
01:02:01there are a lot of quests in this demo
01:02:14didn't this guy die already
01:02:17I'll replay the quest
01:02:24well that's cool you can redo them it doesn't really make sense from a story
01:02:29or a roleplay perspective
01:02:32it's kind of confusing but
01:02:35yeah no again it's a you can tell the game is definitely designed around
01:02:42multiplayer
01:02:46all right now with that said we're going to end this here is going to be episode
01:02:53three I guess
01:02:57if you find I'm too critical of the game
01:03:00sorry I'm just this is kind of how I am especially with demos I like to even if
01:03:09I'm kind of enjoying the game like overall I would say this is more
01:03:13enjoyable than not if it wasn't I would just quit but I'm getting enough
01:03:18enjoyment keep coming back at it
01:03:19now with demos usually I'm kind of critical because I'm pointing out all
01:03:23the things that I'm not too keen on just to you know play devil's advocate
01:03:32and see what I what I don't like about the game and then I sort of just match
01:03:40that up with what I do like about the game and then decide if I want to go
01:03:43with it from there
01:03:44now this is kind of a weird demo because it's so long
01:03:48normally you get like what five ten minutes right so it's five ten minutes
01:03:53of okay I don't really like this or I do like that or whatever but this one is
01:03:58really playing out quite a bit and really giving you a lot to check out so
01:04:06far what I do like is I like the overall style
01:04:10I like the world I like the kind of background story of what's going on in
01:04:16this place I don't like the way the story plays out though like it seems
01:04:26how do you put this
01:04:29the background story is cool the way the missions get assigned and stuff is kind
01:04:37of lame I don't like the way like individual combat is fun like the
01:04:48firefight is fun however every single mission is just a straight-up firefight
01:04:56and then you battle a boss maybe but the way you actually go about the combat is
01:05:03the exact same every time and it's kind of boring so again I would say it's
01:05:10definitely designed around multiplayer like if you were playing with someone
01:05:13else and taking a location you could use some tactics and maybe it would be a
01:05:20little bit more interesting but as a single player I would have to say it's
01:05:26it's kind of boring it's like the the playing the missions in the mission
01:05:33zones and such you know I guess I was just expecting something a little bit
01:05:39more solo RPG like but it is what it is right like this is the game that they
01:05:44made and they made it for multiplayer so you can't really fault the developers
01:05:49for that it's just maybe not for me like I'm gonna play through the demo I'm
01:05:54enjoying it enough and I think that it's pretty worthwhile like it's a good
01:05:59chunk of game for free so I'm gonna play through it but yeah I don't see myself
01:06:10actually purchasing this game unless they made some serious changes which I
01:06:15don't think they're gonna do so anyway with that all the ranting aside I just
01:06:23want to thank you so much for watching the video and sticking with me here and
01:06:28following this series if you are at the end I'm gonna do an overall my thoughts
01:06:35on it and and we'll see kind of what what conclusion I come to but aside from
01:06:45that please throw me a like if you're watching this on on a sort of a platform
