The Wanted system in Star Wars Outlaws is beginning to piss me off.

I sneak into an Imperial excavation site, take down 4 or so enemies, then a camera spots me that isnt even projecting a cone of vision so you don't even know its there.

Then im swarmed with Storm Troopers which I despatch. You would think that there are a set number of enemies to defeat. But no, now a shuttle lands and even more show up.

I'm killing them, bodies are piling up and Im thinking that this has to end at some point right? After all I came to this area to investigate and retrieve something from a chest.

Instead I realise this is an unwinnable Call of Duty style situation where the enemies will NEVER stop coming.

Suddenly I've achieved the Empires Most wanted level. So they send Death Troopers to find me.

They never really explained this mechanic. Now I jump on my bike to escape and Im chased. I race towards this red marker to eliminate this death marker by taking out a death trooper base.

I expected 1 or 2 enemies there. Instead its a whole camp of Death Troopers. Since Im still being chased I run towards the target thinking I will take him out quick and escape.

Nah, you can unload a fully loaded clip point blank into a Death Trooper and it wont kill him. Then you realise you're surrounded by these assholes.

At this point I just want this Wanted system to end. Enemies shouldn't be omniscient, different camps and villages shouldn't have some mass surveillance system that makes everyone attack you on sight in different places - including fucking SPACE of all places.

You're living in a space covering more than a few different planets, including the vastness of space. Yet you're recognised like walking between different rooms in your house by your own family.

Isn't this sci fi? Shouldn't your main character do something as simple as donning a mask before attacking random people?

Don't get me started on sniper rifle shots that require you to charge and release either. With motion controls that's fxxxed too.

Rant over I just reloaded an earlier save.

Oh man...

Fast travel restricted on SW OUTLAWS is ridiculous.

It isnt even for active contracts and you can't disable or abandon the contract via the menu.

The game doesn't do a good job of explaining what's going on and why. So I've been manually driving around trying to work out what's happening.

I did all the contracts for the world Im on thinking that fast travel would now be okay. It's still locked.

Do I have to go do the fast travel restricted contracts on OTHER worlds before I can fast travel again?

Or is it a story mission blocking it? The game wont tell me

Edit: just cancelled at a broker

Star wars Outlaws is a good game.

In its revised and patched, updated form, with gyro aiming.

It has its flaws for sure. Some roadblocks, some annoying crap. But once you figure out the way the gameworld works, at its core its a fun game.

I'd 8/10 it.

There seems to be lots of content and I haven't even tried the dlc yet.
