I was wondering why this and a few other games got re-scene'd by SR. Guess it finally got on steam, huh? The game is alright, it's a lot of Descent style dogfight battles, the controls are fairly simple and feel really good, the graphics are decent, the storyline starts out good but kinda trails off, combat feels responsive but impotent after a while. A lot of the game is just travelling from one sector or system to the next chasing down a dude, then it's trading and combat, and the story fails to really exist at one point or another. I enjoyed it for a couple days, but found it boring and lacking in COMPELLING content after a while, so I wasn't compelled to play it after that. I only played he original for a little while, and I can say that the storyline starts off better, and the graphics, especially those of the humanoid characters, is significantly better. I think it needs better writing/plot points to keep the player interested, more ships to choose from, more upgrades, and variety of ships to fight, especially ships that behave differently and boss fight ships that behave very differently from carriers or fighters (because carrier AI and fighter AI is basically ALL you get to fight, it gets old endlessly turning to try and get behind a dude). If it had a major expansion, they could fix a lot of this, but I have a feeling the dev team isn't gunna do shit with this, they barely patched it out of non functionality IIRC.
Keeping in mind a number of those reviews are from people still a bit pissed because it released on Epic first and took so long to release on Steam, I have to be kind of skeptical about a lot of those negative reviews. I mean, if you look at some of those thumbs down reviews, they bring up the Epic-first issue, and if you look at comments in the forums, the same things are happening. This tends to happen to a lot of games that release on Epic first, then Steam...a lot of those reviewers still kinda carry a grudge. 🤐
Is this one of those games where you have to install all of the updates one after another, or is it one of those games where you just install the last update 1.18 at the time of this message? Pretty annoyed at Double Damage for this... feeling kinda ranty atm.. here goes.. I was actually wanting and willing to buy this game. (on steam) But it's an Epic exclusive. Looks like Double Damage would rather have $0 than take the 70/30 hit from Valve. The Epic's take is lower, but Valve's customer base is much bigger. By the time it comes to Valve, a lot of people may have stopped caring about the game, or have gotten it by other means. IGG for example.
Good that you did, now he's blocked, hopefully he's ip blocked as well so he won't have access to this site, we don't want some toxic pile of meat running their mouth around just to be stupid and annoy other people because they didn't had enough common sense to understood what's the question's point is
throwing you an upvote...i was being bitchy...v 1.17 adds a couple more ships...they plan on more free dlc. they are working on console versions then a modkit and stuff
Don't mind this idiot, he probably didn't understand you and is just bitching around because probably he doesn't have anything good to do with his life
fully realized 8-ball bar game...24hrs+ of music...i guess your concern is "purchasing options" on a pirate site (heh)...let them update it...mod support is coming in a while. oh yeah...it's a pretty fun, and pretty and fun space arcadey space cowboy game. and no im not a shill...but it's like 30 bucks. beggars can't be choosers.
Dude seriously? he just asked if there will be an update of the game that will add in more purchase options such as more guns, ships, and hulls, he never complained about anything. probably best if you read what he just said again, i'm gonna report you for your own good mr.misunderstanding guy
game screams "CONSOLE GAME" louder than any console game I've played this generation. Sad really; A proper PC options menu in 2019 is too much too ask. Glad I didn't actually BOUGHT this crap.
The "magic follow enemy button" just has you generally follow the locked/currently selected target. You still have to use your crosshairs and actually aim at them, using either the radar functionality that gives you lead-tracking (comes with the base radar installed) or guesstimating the difference based on their velocity and your weapon's speed, if you've selected a mode/weapon without aim assistance. Manually dodging is mostly about juking some shots, not being completely impervious to all damage because you wiggle-waggled. If you want to ditch missiles, invest in an EMS system to scramble target locks on you. If you are getting swarmed and overrun, use better weapons, and stay near allies; focus down the weaklings first since they are easily killed but still deal a fair amount of damage until dealt with. Remember, just because it has higher damage/DPS doesn't necessarily mean it's better; if you run out of energy and can't fire, well, you're not going to do fuck-all DPS. Balance your loadout appropriately. Lastly, the controls are perfectly fine. It's just like utilizing a flight stick, where pressure in a direction moves the nose. You can change it to "relative" in the menu, though, if that's more your style. You might want to add roll left/right buttons in the keymapping, if you're more a keyboard mover.
Game is TRASH you do not even need skills to kill a target (magic follow enemy button LMAO !!!) The game is obviously made for casuals it's unbelievable that m0r0ns like you try to make so many cheap excuses to justify this piece of junky software. !!! Idiots like you are like cancer you are the reason why there are so many shitty games out there. This game is a travesty it's a complete shit as a Sci-fi and it's pure shit as a shooter.
dude... there's option to turn off the auto targeting. just change the difficulty in the game. dont have to insult everyone, unless you are part of the development team for the Elite Dangerous...
Go play a real space shooter try Everspace it's way better from this piece of junk and if you want something to test your skills try Freespace 2 (No auto-aim or auto-follow bullshit)
I had no problem with using the mouse. That said, the starter ship is a fucking flying dumpster (literally it's a garbage scow) and handles like one. Trying to dogfight in it, especially early game with crap gear, is just asking to get stomped on. They even point that out in the story repeatedly. The difference between it and a decent ship (especially a fighter made to dogfight) is day and night.
You won't be able to dogfight your way with that first ship. With a fighter you will fare much better with both mouse or pad. And try to stick to safe missions and avoid any serious fights until you're better equipped both in real ship and its upgrades.
Just would like to know how we can salvage ships in this one because it claims that you have that option in this one as well. So destroyed ships would logically be candidates for salvage.
Reminiscent of Wing Commander I believe you could and so should this one. Wouldn't mind flying one of those pirate spacecraft instead of the available stock. But the claim here is about the wreckage salvage as stated at different occasions. And for that matter, alien ships. There are bound to be in such a vast universe.
The issue of there being a tiny ship selection (even in comparison to the previous game) is another issue entirely. There is NOTHING in any of their advertisement or information about the game that promotes the ability to salvage enemy ships like you imply. Collecting salvaged cargo from wrecks, yes, but not salvaging ships.
So since this conversation I kept trying to remember the game series I played where you CAN capture ships- and finally remembered it; Starpoint Gemini. If you want to capture entire enemy ships, build your own fleet with them or sell them off, etc., then look through that series. I believe it begins with Warlords that it really takes off with that concept. There's also Avorion for salvaging, where they have salvaging lasers (that both deal massive structural damage and also can salvage floating debris) and you can use the materials to build entire ships, and hire crews to both crew your own ship and also the other ships you build, flying them in fleet with you. You can't directly capture entire enemy ships, though, as far as I am aware.
And that's just too bad for you. It's not included in this game. And even Wing Commander didn't have it, by the way. AFAIR, only capital ships in the Colony Wars series were capturable, in this genre, until the X series, which has been the only one that I can think of that has it.
There's apparently a setting that toggles follow mode, that will follow your target and make dog-fighting less frenetic. (They do strongly recommend a controller of some kind, like the first one.)
hit ctrl, click the topmost icon (targetting mode). This brings up your top-down area view of the surrounding area, showing you nearby allies, enemies, loot, etc. and enemies/allies have lines of conflict drawn between them when you hover over them. You can then select an enemy there to lock in, leave the menu, then hold right mouse button to turn to aim at them/follow them. you can also just do it manually, following the white arrows around your crosshairs; the longer it is, the further in the direction it's pointing that you have to rotate. It's not meant to be a manual dogfighting game. You have technology available, at your fingertips. Should be using it to make the experience easier, unless you're deliberately trying to make it harder on yourself.
hi ummmm, @dan_oko:disqus sorry to disrupt but when I try to change the shortcut properties as you said, it wouldn't let me do it because the path was valid, so I had to change both files names, but that also didn't work, plz help.
You are doing something wrong. In your comment "hello sry but i cant change the shortcut ... "D:\Games\Rebel Galaxy Outlaw\LauncherEGS.exe"-EpicPortal ..... it's invalid ..." there is no space. Did you change that?
help! i tried dannybois method and i cant get it to work, i even uninstalled and installed the game a few times but i cant get the launcher to start. the game itself runs fine but i just cant the launcher to work. please somebody help
about the shenmue thing...blame those dev's for fucking over their supporters...shenmue3 had kickstarter backing plus money from sony then they took money from epic..it was a shitty move
damn...you really got a hard on about this...i agree it's shitty when a dev kickstarts a game with some expectations and then switches it up...you shouldn't be proud of being a deadbeat though.
I find it shittier when every amateur who wants to pretend to be a dev gets to charge money for trash early access games that never deliver on their promises if they even ever actually release a complete game. Valve doesn't care tho as long as they get their cut you can sell it in their storefront. Don't even get me started on allowing machine translated games to be sold and advertised as being in actual English.
Gotta admit, every once in awhile I like something less complicated than Star Citizen or Elite Dangerous, so this and No Man's Sky work for me. A little consolification every now and then never hurt anyone, right?
Sure. And it runs like a dream even at 4k so it's not a cheap port or anything like that. Just very streamlined so you don't need to spend a lot of time flying around in space if you don't want. You can pretty much skip from location to location using the autopilot. It's also way harder then any console game usually is. In the beginning don't even try fighting anything as you will get slaughtered. Do trade missions, build up your ship (or get a combat one) then you can do some fighting.
LOL "runs at 4k like a dream" because the graphics are cartoony it's like Borderlands they are not next-gen graphics. The combat is based around an auto follow / auto aim setup (consolified much). Mouse is essentially unplayable unless you use the auto-aim. Are you a casual you don't sound like a hardcore space sim fan have you ever played Freespace 2 it's an older game but vastly superior in combat and explosions from this mess
i actually didnt know that having the basic motor skills required to push buttons with one hand and move a little plastic device in circles with the other hand constituted "worship"
Not next gen graphics? Next gen isn't even out yet that is why it is called NEXT gen so of course it isn't "next gen graphics" when the game is out now lmao
I play X3 when I want complex. Freespace 2 is a fine game but you can only play it so many times. There are very few nice combat heavy space games out there, most try to make the next X3 or Elite and it gets real old. This is more like an updated Freelancer and there's nothing wrong with that...
You know what pal guys like you ruin the gaming industry by supporting sh*tty games... If you have played games like Xwing or TIE Fighter you would understand why this game is just a pile of trash
Game is good, has a story, gameplay is fun and the game works perfectly... So im not ruining anything by supporting a good game thats for unwinding and feeling lime a total badass without it being complicated. Theres a game for everyone.... Also wtf are you talking about supporting games and ruining the industry, youre talking shit in a site thats for pirating games. face-palm
The game doesn't even open for me, it looks as it would load for a second and then just does nothing. None of the 2 exes work (LauncherEGS nor RebelGalaxyEGS), any clues of what could be causing this? I tried with both the version here and the torrented one (i know they are the same but wanted to try). https://gfycat.com/CheapAdoredLamb
Have you done as Dannyboi says in his comment?. If have the epic store installed, and the first time I tried it opened the store and then I had to run the exe again with the store open. With Dannyboi shortcut method the store doesn't open and the game runs fine.
when did this game have a crowdfunding campaign? christ, i wish i had such a sheltered life where a crappy storefront was my main problem. you couldn't even pre-order this until like a couple weeks ago.
Not really since it came out alongside things like the Starpoint Gemini series. There are plenty of games focused on capital ships instead of fighters. What distinguished it from other titles was the 2D naval style combat in a sci-fi setting. Oh and of course the ridiculous quality of it given that it was made by a tiny ass indy team.
they went from a 2 man team...and hired 3 more whole humans!...it's rare that i say this but, support the devs. been looking forward for this one for months...good lord it has 24+hours of music
Yeah that's for sure, I was surprised when I saw all the .ogg files flowing through the install progress window! Considering a purchase, when it's on Steam, of course.
OK. After Install, Before start, open game folder. Right Click on LauncherEGS.exe and make a shortcut of it on Desktop. In Shortcut Properties just add -EpicPortal to E:\Games\Rebel Galaxy Outlaw\LauncherEGS.exe" -EpicPortal <------- to look like that. You can change settings and language. Run as Admin.
Hello dannyboi, Where do you change language ? I don't know where is it. In localsetting file , you only can change tweak graphics , resolution etc... THanks buddy
There's a local_settings file in documents\my games\double damage games, but I can't get fullscreen to work. Let's have a little patience. Apparently you can adjust the settings with the launcher, but for me the launcher doesn't launch.
thank you for the info but i dont waste time on trash game like this one who doesn't have the most basic stuff like a OPTION menu to tweak the graphic stuff in game, i mean is 2019 and you cannot have options in game is plain stupid regards
It's 2019 and you're playing a game released in 2015 meant for console... Seriously, get off the computer if you're going to be that stupid and get an education.
You are right the game is mediocre it's a bad console port with awful menu also the graphics are cartoonish it's like a childish game. Really disappointed the first game was better
The first game was nice but this new game is just MEDIOCRE...The Menus and the GUI are AWFUL !!! The story is boring the characters are uninteresting and the controls are a mess even the graphics are cartoony it's like a 2010 type of game. It's a bad game made for console plebs...
I haven't see n much of the game yet, i was actually about to boot it up for the first time but i have seen a review of it and i can safely say you are wrong about the graphics. You don't need super ultra realistic HD graphics for a game to be good, and more color does not mean more cartoony. I can't comment on how it plays yet nor the characters and story because, again, haven't played it yet
it will run fine...they plan on porting it to switch so it should run on anything Apple ][e and after..and then porting it to some console (not a console owner)...this sotos guy...lul
What a hot take. Aren't we all glad to live in a world where so many games come out we can afford to be as picky as you want? A game made by like, 4 people, goes in directions you don't like. Play something else.
Not a shill epic is trash for many reasons, but if you're gonna talk shit about something, at least know what it is. EGS Allows devs to make DRM free games if they wish. Jackbox being a perfect example.
Didn't know that steam DRM free games were a thing. That's good. I dont think I ever made that part of my argument.. And yes, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is DRM free, I went ahead and checked just for you.
I am so excited for this game! Thanks for the thousandth time! :) By the way if people don't know this game has a FULL FLEDGED IMAGE EDITOR in game for ship editing, meaning you can draw anything you want on your ship! The game is gorgeous.
24+hours of music, full fledged 8-ball....amazing what a small team can do. plus it's half the cost of a AAA game. edit: and moddable..truly a good buy for a game.
Epic are epic scumbags and deserve the hate they get. Moneyhatting games and forcing exclusivity maybe something that doesnt bother you, but it bothers a lot of people. And before you say it, no Steam dont do the same.
i like when valve takes a 30% cut from devs. steam was shit when it first started out. tell me where i can buy portal or team fort2 on another market place? competition is good. get over your self-righteous "rage boner". yer a fucking pirate.
i have like 4 stores on my pc..."my valve drm is better than yours" bullshit. it's a strange occurence where i disagree with you c:. they are a 5 person team and got a bunch of money upfront and a bigger cut of the profit.
I always find it silly when people have an issue when there is another online retailer launcher. More options gives both developers and consumers better options and prices if they are savvy enough to shop around. Sure, it is convenient having everything in one launcher, but it is terrible to not have any competition in a market.
Not really, Origin Premier is like Steam Early Access. You get to play the game early pretty much. With this game, it's a 12 month exclusivity to Epic store, then it will release on Steam and Gog
Nah it's more like a subscription rental service since the primary value in it is that you get to play any of the Origin games in it for as long as you have it without buying them. The early access part is just a bonus. It was a great deal for me since most of the games on Origin I want to play are primarily online only and I usually only play them for a few months then move on. I wish Steam actually offered a similar service.
Origin is little bit different. When time is out on Epic, its going to be on Steam as well. If it is Origin Premier, it will be only there. If you know what I mean
True. You'd think that Epic Store would improve on that since they want to actually be a competitor to Steam but not, they be too busy getting excusives
When Outlaw comes out, It is obvious that I bought the wrong game few years ago... The original Rebel Galaxy sucks big time, because why the fuck are we sailing on a 2D plane while we are out in the space?
It most certainly did NOT suck, i frigging LOVED IT. As for why the sailing on a 2d plane 2 reasons: 1:You're sailing a FRIGGIN CAPITAL SHIP, those things do NOT have the same agility and maneuverability that smaller crafts do 2:Broadside cannons are FUN
OG RG is way better

If you are getting swarmed and overrun, use better weapons, and stay near allies; focus down the weaklings first since they are easily killed but still deal a fair amount of damage until dealt with.

1.06 is the last one.
Here is a place to Request
https://igg-games.com/pc-game-738126637-request.html
Read the Rules, before you Request.
So destroyed ships would logically be candidates for salvage.
And for that matter, alien ships. There are bound to be in such a vast universe.
There's also Avorion for salvaging, where they have salvaging lasers (that both deal massive structural damage and also can salvage floating debris) and you can use the materials to build entire ships, and hire crews to both crew your own ship and also the other ships you build, flying them in fleet with you. You can't directly capture entire enemy ships, though, as far as I am aware.
1.03, 1.04, 1.05 and 1.06 bring a lot of fixes.
They are merged together to (in) 1.06.
Second one is UPDATE V1.06, but still not here.
Thank you in advance

Ive checked French working.

With Dannyboi shortcut method the store doesn't open and the game runs fine.
