Secondary weapons are also weapons! Think positive!

I shared my frustration and this guy asked me this:

That’s exactly the weapon I got! Now I’m eager to try it out

Also, dual pistols look awesome.
The reviews have started to come in, and Outriders is sitting at a respectable 82 on OpenCritic. So far very much deserved, in my opinion.

I still can’t matchmake with anyone been trying all day 
I thought it looked really badly washed out in the demo. Looks a lot better now IMO
Well got back in for awhile and now the server crashed again and can’t get back in…
Yep, servers died again. This has been a superbad launch experience for me, glad I play through Xbox Game Pass and not paying for it, would’ve been a bit upset.
Glad I decided to wait until tomorrow. Yeah, they need to increase their server capacity immediately. Outriders is hot right now, there’s nothing around it and the server issues are going to end up killing the game.

For all the server issues they’re having, this is still a smoother launch than Gears 5. Now that was a genuine shit show.
Nah, that was the first hours for me. At least I could play campaign solo. Not possible in Outriders
With Gears 5 during the early (pre)launch days I was having crashes and infinite saves bugs and NPCs getting stuck or never moving so while I could play the campaign I really couldn’t make any progress on it at all. So many times progress was lost and I’d have to restart the chapter. Even then the collectibles glitched out indefinitely – I had to start an entirely new campaign to make any progress on that.
Ah well, that sucks. I didn’t have much issues beoynd launch day. At least you got to play though, Outriders straight up doesn’t work.

I did manage to get enough time in late yesterday to make it to the city hub. This evening I played through the first main-mission and 2 side missions and progressed to the second travel point on the Clear a Path to Tower main mission. Then I was kicked out around 10pm EST.
I was just in Outriders for another 30 minutes trying to sort out some co-op gameplay stuff – game invites weren’t making it to me, friend’s game wasn’t showing in the list, but they could join my game. Also seeing if there’s a way to swap or trade equipment. We did “A Bad Day” side quest since they hadn’t done that one. As we were both nearly falling asleep so called it for the night.
I’m taking it slow, examining everything and getting used to the weapons, which are effective, which ones I like or don’t like, and trying to unlearn control mappings from other games. So overall I probably played 3 hours? For now just having fun discovering the game and seeing it’s mechanics. I’ll probably circle back to read online guides to pick up better strategies to maximize load-outs.
Wow, what a handsome devil. He must have a beautiful wife and two great kids, just a guess anyways.

Fuck. I got a disconnection after I completed a sidequest and while I was going to turn it in in another city.
Now I’m back in the game right before completing the sidequest, and I can’t examine the body to complete it anymore.
Edit: Restarted the game and the quest updated!
Edit 2: Disconnected again lol
Edit 3: Yeah, it’s impossible to play atm. I’ll call it a night.
On a sidenote, this beast is carrying me through the game:

What does everybody else think about the aiming? It was fine for me in the demo but it feels disgusting in the full game. It’s tolerable but it’s feels floaty, delayed and imprecise. I’m surprised to not see a bigger hoopla about it.
Ngl I think the gameplay is pretty great😅
I’m not sure since I am not great at shooters and generally make do, but during my short play I noticed something “off” about aiming. It was late and I was pretty tired so I will like to try again and see if it was just me.
