The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition - Obsidian's first-person sci-fi RPG set in a corporate space colony

[Multi-headed Cow]

I enter Edgewater, "Hey bro, can you get 5 people to sign my petition?"
I enter Groundbreaker, "Hey bro, can you get my corporate badge?"
I enter Byzantium, "Hey bro, can you get my rats from out of the sewer?"
I enter Fallbrook, "Hey bro, can you get the packages I tied to rats and let loose in the world?"
It was around this point I realized that the game's more fun if you think of it like Postal 4. You even have a crack pipe for health. Think about it, won't you Codex? It'll improve your enjoyment tremendously. If only there was modding to get appropriate sounds for when you heal.

I am 3 away from 1000 retarded. Do me a solid and rate this retarded. Thanks.

2 more it is a community goal.

Edit we did it boyz.

Is it really the same if you haven't earned it? Where's your Sense of Pride and Accomplishment? Why use Cheat Engine?

 

[orcinator]

Some of the armors look kinda cool, wonder when someone will port them into fallout 4

He earned it.

Don't be a hack. The shooting in TOW is very mediocre. The guns feel and sound cheap, there's not much sense of impact, you don't feel powerful holding guns etc etc.

So, since I'm likely going to treat this like Dragon Age: Inquisition and Mass Effect: Andromeda and probably not going to bother touching it even after it's on Steam, how close was I with my Analysis of the first two Gameplay Trailers?

Didn't read what you wrote but yes.

So I think I'm stuck on this quest

Reached monarch I'm supposed to talk to this drunk bitch and she tells me to get medical supplies off this other guy (yay another fetch quest). I talk to the guy but there's no option to ask for the supplies.

You can get them behind one of his locked doors

The disguise system is kinda dumb? I am doing the Clive Slaughter house quests now in Monarch and I just experienced for a longer time for the first time and its kinda dumb. You transform right in front of them, timer runs out even if no one is watching or sneaking. If it runs out you are revealed, you can use speech check and again transform right in front of them until the next time. That's just next level.

 

[HoboForEternity]

+ art direction is going to be divisive but the game certainly has its own style

i think the towns/interior are great, but most of the outdoors hurt my eyes especially terra 2 biome. too many shit going on in that color pallete and aiming enemies hurt my eyes.

It's bizarre. It's like they couldn't figure out how to do stealth, so they just put that in... to simulate sneaking/trespassing gameplay somehow??? It totally fails and is extremely non-engaging.

they could just do a costume system, but it was shaded in the dialogue if you ask

"why don't i just steal their clothes and wear them?"
"are you stupid, that wouldn't work"

funny but i wish it have clothes system instead

 

[Ivan]

it's not the best choiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

 

[CyberWhale]

ther attributes should also calculate into it, Strenght into Intimidate for example.

Strength does go into intimidate, though.

That's really nice tho, I've underestimated Obsidian again when it comes to things affecting each other. Seems the problem is with characters having those skillcheck thresholds all the same and low enough that you can usually pass them all. I guess they thought of it as balancing for different builds or what?

 

[Jack]

World kinda keeps me in, writing isn't that bad. Anyone who says otherwise is an ANCAP retard who gets triggered over how Ancapistan is portrayed.

Yeah, those damn ancaps don't have the intellectual capacity to get sophisticated Rick and Morty humour and get butthurt by the scathing bigbrained critique offered by Obsidian. Capitalists btfo by smart empowered brown lesbian womyn.

 

[TheImplodingVoice]

You basically expected a Troika game ;d

Kinda like we expected Pillars to be a Black Isle game.

For some reason we just can't have nice things.

Forget about these fossilized retirees, dude

Play Disco Elysium. Its a nice thing. Its a very nice thing. Its the best fucking thing

Troika games actually had gameplay.

To their detriment

Get the fuck out of here.

So all you need to do in order to land a writing gig for video games these days is to make fanfic and trashy romance novels?

Are you crazy? The standards are way lower than that.

Nah, writing in Postal 2 was light years ahead of TOW.

You know, it even had funny jokes.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Game is absurd at its best on many levels.

-Humour is dry.
-AI is braindead.
-Combat never changes, only companions have special abilities and they mostly melee and suck.
-Companions are mostly boring gameplay wise. You need to baby sit them a lot.
-I had 5-6K ammunation of all sorts, 220+ that healing shit. Who's going to use light ammo anyway?
-Money is worthless for %90 of the time. It's only good for tinkering.
-Itemization is shallow. Science weapons are fun while other weapons are mostly same.
-Most side quests are meh. Companion quests are below avarege. Some bigger quests got good C&C. Faction rep.thing is borderline useless.
-At least the main quest is good but gets lost in all them thrash.

Not if you look anything like your avatar.

Why? The avatar has dark skin. Not as good as having a vagina but it's up there.

I wonder how many talented writers are rotting in their basements because we need more wahmen in IT.
