He directed FONV, which was not exactly a bad game, to say the least. Give credit where credit is due.

Isn't he also the one and only who forbid writers from writing fluff/cool/snarky dialog responses in FNV because "writers shouldn't put words into player's mouth"?
That is one of the highest order heresies and treasons against a Fallout game one can make.
'Nuff said.

I'd wager that most of them suffer from narcissism, thus being drawn to something such as streaming.

I agree! I also thought how people with mental issues have trouble finding "normal jobs" so this is their way of earning money.

It's just people looking for community wherever/however they can find it. Zoomers just seem to prefer online environments where there's something constantly happening to feed their need for stimulation (between the stream and the overstuffed ever-scrolling chat window) instead of prestigious game-hating forums.

I used to watch Twitch, followed about 15 streamers, bigger and smaller.
Can you believe it every single one of them sooner or later revealed how they either have mental issues or are taking medicine to keep it under their control!

What the hell is wrong with that service?!
Or is streaming attractive to such people?

probably because videogames for the most part suck shit and are totally unfulfilling and making a career out of playing them is a joke, worse than bullshitting excel spreadsheets in a cubicle. even if they're successful (and they're not), they're still consuming trash all day

Did someone saw in a stream a language option in the settings?

I dislike my native language and Xbox Game Pass doesn't provide an option to download games in different languages.

And he probably said and did other things we don't know about. That doesn't change the fact that he helmed the creation of a very good game.

As Josh himself has said, he knows a lot about what not to do.
Apparently not enough yet. / And thanks to him, so do we.

Fucking game pass is forcing me to update my windows to a newer version and it's been about 30 minutes and still at %27 :argh:
I feel sorry for all of you who bought this on gamepass and Epic. People never learn.

You guys are full aware that most of those *safe* comments by reviewers were from socialists complaining that the setting doesn't turn capitalists to shreds?

The setting plays if *safe* in so far that everything's morally grey. Much more so than Sawyer managed to do with rape platoon legion.


As for the game itself. It certainly doesn't change the industry and it might as well be a bit worse than their previous offerings (which is actually hard to do). But, it does have little ideas and from what I've seen so far imo its a quality game.

What's your native language and why do you dislike it?
German and german dubs are often very boring. The voice actor just speak plain High-German without any dialect or enthusiasm.

Probably g*rman
Doesn't like it because it reminds him of europeans being killed
Reminding another German about the collective guilt is very German, Bruder.

Yeah, it seems some leftist reviewers expected the game to be about seizing means of production from the bourgeois and NPCs to be constantly screaming FUCK THE RICH.

You should've formulated that better, mein Freund. It is not the language in itself which you dislike, but (low quality) German dubs.

As the saying goes, alles klar.

Who knew that some people may be okay with corporations being wacky if it results in them getting to live in cool space colonies with advanced technology

Critics loved Outer Worlds because its hip today to praise anything Obsidian shits out regardless of whether its a great game or a rainbow colored diarrhea with insipid writing.

The same thing happened with Numenera. It has 81 on metacritics and apparently one of the best written games of all time according to these same journos.

They are just afraid to be considered uncool so have to praise "hardcore rpgs" regardless of its qualities.

In the case with Disco Elysium its just a happy coincidence that the game is truly great and deserves the praise.

Is it more RPG or more action game?
Nigga, it's fucking oblivion with guns.
It's Might and Magic 1 with guns. If you go retard, go full retard!

Oh sure, journos liking Outer Worlds is just shilling for obsidian, but liking Disco is a happy coincidence. Fuck off! Some people are always spinning the reviews so it fits their agenda.

Interesting retweets from her:
"Heard of a cool tech-bro-weeding interview technique the other day. A male and female engineer conduct the interview session together. If, when the female engineer asks the candidate a question, he directs his answer to the male engineer,then he's out.They said it happens a lot"
If it does happen, it's likely because he's socially inept and doesn't know how to talk to women.
So, they're weeding out people who already have trouble interacting in a social setting. Good job.

:butthurt:

Its only the case for niche RPGs; PoE & Deadfire got the same treatment. We don't see TOW sitting on 90+ metacritic like PoEs were siting on their first weeks. Anyway try to downplay it all you like, its not just most of the journos liking the game, there are many people playing it atm and literally all of them liking/loving it. /but again none of them are prestigious codexers :D

Also writing seems great so far but I can't wait to see what AwesomeButton digs up & obsesses over for couple of years.
