The Outer Worlds - Obsidian's new first-person sci-fi RPG from Tim Cain & Leonard Boyarsky

No it wasn't. You were arguing that women are more competent than men. Competence is not a negative thing.

 

Tim and Leonard being proud about this turd called ToW feels like watching a supra-realist movie gone wrong.

They have absolutely no idea that ToW success happened because of Microsoft instead of the game's qualities.

Or maybe they know and now they are doing marketing for ToW2 ... which will be written by the same female SJW monkeys.

Yeah, they can release a 120 min documentary. I'm not watching that shit.

 

I'd agree with that, though we'd probably disagree on how much the cause is social versus natural.

 

But I'm sure you'll keep posting about it.

 

That's like the third time someone's posted that video on here and I still have zero desire to watch some random asshole rant about the game for 40 fucking minutes.

 

are you this thread's retarded fanboy?

I watched it and I bet it was a more interesting experience than this game would've ever been.

 

So is this thing worth getting to support Tim and Leon? Or is it something to avoid lest I get crushed from disappointment?

 

It's a game that is there. You can choose your stats, pick dialogue options, have a few different people try to kill you based on what you said, mostly kill a thousand people who are wandering raiders for no reason, and otherwise click on lots of things and watch them die. If that's what you expect, and that's all you expect, you won't be disappointed.

 

microsoft is supporting them now.

 

How's the atmosphere? Is the shootingplay better than FONV?

 

too whimsical that you won't care about the world or its inhabitants by the time the credits scroll

 

I can never get into a game's story or world building when it tries too hard to be funny or whacky. It's one of the problems I had with F2. But at least F2 still had some good writing for me to take it seriously some what. I can't say the same for the outer worlds.

 

It's a dramatically scaled down New Vegas with worse writing. Gameplay is devoid of challenge because of too many items and abilities. It's still enjoyable if you love the genre, but pretty disappointing. Positives are a good setup and decent atmosphere, with a unique setting and some decent choice and consequence. While the writing is iffy it can be pretty funny. One of the planets is a decent open world. Also to be fair, they always said it was smaller in scale.

 

Atmosphere is... well... colorful. Pretty good IMO actually.
Shooting is WAY better then FONV!

But overall... its pretty bland and got tedious. Itemization is bad, character development pretty uninspired.

 

Someone mod women into this game yet?

 

I found the overall atmosphere cartoonish and grating. Unfortunately, the whole conceit of corporate employees being forced to sign over their entire lives, mortgage their first born, contractually required to constantly spout slogans, 37 pieces of flair ... it just isn't funny. It's been done, it's been done better, and here it's relentless. I got sick really fast of the neon signs advertising all the little stores on the space station. There are like a dozen stores, every store with another hilariously exploited and/or brainwashed employee. I hope there weren't any good missions hidden in there because after talking to the first one or two I walked past the rest. It's just a dull theme.

Combat satisfactorily does the job of giving you something to do in between conversations, but I never got excited about it on its own merits. Also, looting bodies seems kind of buggy, like targeting corpses for interaction doesn't work sometimes. So often combat is immediately followed by a moment of annoyance, which conditioned me to find the idea of combat irritating.

 

Avoid to prevent certain disappointment. Tim & Leon's imprint on this meaningless product is invisible. If you have to check it out for yourself use Gamepass I guess.

Hey - that looks pretty cool. When is it coming out?

 

Problem is not in the theme, but in its execution. TOW is no Firefly RPG.
