Is the character creator really this bad or am I missing a whole bunch of options somewhere?
I guess they have a bad rep but people are so militant about it which is strange. As long as you're happy with what you get upfront it's just new content.

You can download the demo from an alternative account (from a different country) if you have one. Not the best solution, but one that works.
Yeah, no demo so far. They might add it with PS+ req like some other 18+ demos and just forgot yet.
Getting abilities defintiely makes the game more fun
The first armor I got is UGLY as HELL
I like the fast paced nature of playing a trickster and it's get in do damage get out gameplay
The slow ability is cool too.
First impression was meh but now I'm warming up to the game.
Last a lot more cutscenes than I was expecting but the VA is solid so cool

Outriders Demo (Steam, PC)
I finished the main story (what's available) and a few sidequests.
I played Devastator through to completion of the demo, and then went back and tried the other 3 classes until I got a feel for combat with 3 abilities unlocked.
Good:
PvE co-op is always welcome.
Combat is pretty fun but repetitive. Hopefully having access to more abilities and builds in the full game will break the tedium.
A couple moments in cutscenes that made me laugh.
Complaints:
Immediately forced to login on Squenix's bad website.
Character customization is always welcome but this implementation is pretty barebones.
Long sections without gameplay.
Cutscene camera work is shaky and really tough to watch.
Mediocre/bad writing and dialogue.
One-dimensional protagonist.
No options to disable awful motion blur, depth of field, and other post-processing effects.
Annoying "hold button to interact" prompts for everything, and they feel unresponsive (mouse+kb.)
The cover system is weird and inconsistent, but at least it doesn't feel necessary (at the difficulties that were available in the demo.)
Overall opinion:
It's ok I guess. I certainly wouldn't pay the CDN$ 80 they're asking for the full game.

being a PS360 it's not excuse,
i dont understand how the team that did Gears Judgment and Bulletstorm, made this janky game,
because holy shit, they nailed it 10 years ago, what happened?!
On PS5 here. Doesn't look great, the writing is AWFUL, and the shaky cam cutscenes are truly nauseating. I'm also getting weird hitches during gameplay (almost like dropped frames), but it seems to be limited to entering and exiting cover. Additionally, when I duck into cover, then aim at an enemies head, once I ADS the reticle pops up an inch or two above the targets head. Annoying. Not the best first impression, but will need to play more.
It lost me right away when I saw I had to login to a Square Enix account. I immediately closed the game and went back to Yakuza 0.
Right off the bat, I'm pissed at this game. The skin color portion of the character creator is hella offensive. I really hope thy fix this.
its so awful.
deleted the ps5 demo after 30 minutes. terrible hdr, controls/aiming feel awful, those choppy/handheld "cutscenes" give me headaches and the game faded to black and reset my position when i didnt exactly follow an npc. yeah, fuck that. i wasnt even allowed to look around. thats even worse than read dead 2 and its restrictive story missions.
Idk. I'm probably the worst person to answer this. For me though, trying to create a tan guy with a full beard, it feels fine.
Lots of dropped frames in gameplay and in cutscenes on XSX. Load times are minuscule. Seems okay/fine overall. Anyone who says it's terrible, to me, seems a bit exaggerated. Game seems fine to me so far.Everything feels average. Perfect 7/10 game
Audio goes out of sync in every cutscene, on PS5 at least. Also had to turn up 'HDR brightness' setting a ton at the beginning since the image was way too dark by default. Apart from that, graphics/ performance and gunplay seem pretty good so far.
Thats REALLY good to hear. was having a blast for the first 20 minutes but then the transition to 30fps started to become really jarring.
Yeah, I think that is going to be a big issue unfortunately. They really should have trimmed down the prologue, or even just made it like a extended cutscene or something. Once you get passed that and get to your classes, that's when the game really starts to get going, but I imagine a lot of people are not going to have the patience for that and bounce early.
There's no option to turn off hdr it looks rubbish on my tv so I turn it off but now I have to put up with not seeing snything
It really feels like the Tutorial was rushed. Its really bad compared once you get passed it.
Which is weird, usually they work too much on the tutorial and the rest of the game suffers from it. Now its seems the other way around. They actually worked on the game and just tact in a quick tutorial that's really bad lol

Yup, this is what I've been saying since the beta. The opening two hours is really generic and a poor intro...
...but once you start getting multiple abilities and mods, it feels like a joy to play.
Ok I take back what I said, the class gameplay itself is really fun. I went trickster and it's so awesome
I'll be honest, played with two mates and we all got bored after 40 minutes and delete it. Shame.
Admit the prologue is slow, but I will take this storytelling mechanic over the complete absence of storytelling in destiny, division, etc. feels good to me.
I know games need a story, but I agree - the story feels super weak. I think the gameplay itself is fun so far, but the story itself feels like a forced waste of time.
