If you want to play Outlaws I suggest just waiting six months maybe for them to get the bugs worked out. It might be good eventually. But the AI needs a looooottt of work. Entire game needs to feel more real somehow.

One word. Ubisoft.
If they do fix anything, it will be just enough to make it serviceable. They like their games that require server-side connections that they can shut down and are also too focused on this grand Ubisoft Openworld-Verse they've been hyping on.

TLDR; Don't hold your breath.

I actually went for another playthrough of Starwars Outlaws, they just updated the game, and every single issue that was present in my previous play had been resolved, unbelievable, but true and it's a beautiful game that plays really well in my opinion.

Then I tried out the Crew 2 witch I got on a steam sale, I knew it is too good to be true, that a game could sell for less 98% cost price, but I wanted to download something and that's about all I got out of it something to download, and the rest was just unplayable mess, no proper preconfigured keyboard controls, and my absolute worst thing to see in any pc game, a locked frame rate, I quit after 20mins and did a refund, I also never got a msg that when launching this game it will be tied to my Ubisoft connect account permanently, be interesting to see how steam is going to resolve this issue that still persists with Ubisoft games bought on steam.

Looking for my next favorite game now...

Are you M&K or controller? On my desktop I play M&K but Legion Go obviously controller. Controller layout sucks though and can't be remapped but did work some magic to fix that. Like the idiotic decision to make jump one of the bumpers instead of 'A' (or X if you're a PS person).
M&K all the way. It's a fun game with plenty of action around every corner on the maps. The only thing that threw me out first time playing couple yrs back was the F key thing to open stuff. Not until DL2 did they put icon next to it indicating to press up & down on that key until the icon fills up as much as possible then your character can open the power board or whatever... now I can get my $ worth & finish the game!
There were complaints on steam forums about this F key thing with DL.

Heard DL2 wasn't worth it if you've played DL Definitive, less refined, didn't feel good overall, not as fun. Your thoughts since you mentioned it?

I don't have any opinion on DL2 as I only got about 10 mins into it before dying too much... however DL is another thing altogether, game is extremely immersive on my system with 21:9 monitor and ultra settings with dedicated sound card via headphones. There are parts of this that remind me of HL2 & the F.E.A.R series back in their day.

Is Mass Effect 2 worth playing? Ive wanted to get into the series forever, I love pretty much anything space-themed. I've put it off forever but the time has come to finally try the franchise out. But my question is should I just start with 3? ME2 is almost 15 years old but people have also told me its integral to at least play that one before 3. Any opinions?
 
Any opinions?
if it's still available, i would definitely get the Legendary Edition that includes 1, 2 & 3.
all of the games are still viable even this much time later and the story spreading across the three games is pretty awesome.
and then you still have Andromeda to play afterwards...

there are tons of mods out there for the first 3 games;
some that provide some updated textures & models,
some that offer extra content,
some with community generated fixes, etc.
