The Outer Worlds Pre-Release Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

Look at all those males. I sense a pattern here.

 

I really like the dark humor in many of the Orcs' lines in the Lord of the Rings movies. I also like to think a bit about some different bad guy groups like the Governor or the people running Terminus in The Walking Dead, the raiders in Fallout 3, the reavers in Firefly, US prohibition-era gangsters, or hired gun type characters (whether it be a spy like Brock Samson from the Venture Bros or a sellsword like Bronn from Game of Thrones).

Imagine unironically writing this

 

The structure reminds me of that Russian writers copypasta.

 

Yeah, because the world is full of women who can write for a male audience. Not.

They've got a Lanius there? How much for that?

 

They also have an NCR Ranger, we visited their offices for some PR-related stuff a couple of years ago and snapped a quick photo.

Citing Fallout 3 for writing inspiration...

 

This game will not sell a million copies, at least not in the first year.

 

Fallout 4 sold 12 mil in its first week, this even with the epic store exclusivity should sell at least 1/3 of it this year.

 

It will easily sell million in the first month, the singleplayer RPG thirst is real. Kingdom Come sold a million in like two weeks.
That said I do hope it sells as little on epic as possible.

 

Yeah, it's also going to be mainstage promoted at E3 by xbox. It's going to be a hit!

 

It won awards for its writing.
The lowest common denominator thinks it has amazing writing.
Obsidian wants to be Bethesda now.

Put two and two together and consider that even if she was not part of the lowest common denominator herself it would still make sense to suck Bethesda's cock like that.
But the thing is that she most likely is honest, because she is, like most people working in the gaming industry, not only Obsidian, part of the lowest common denominator herself and she has shit taste and will like shit and whatever she is told she is supposed to like.

 

Yeah, you don't need to be a living fossil who believes that our current era is in the throes of the Great Decline to agree that Fallout 3 was an irredeemable bag of mephitic faeces.

 

I've only played new vegas ❤️

 

That concept art looks like 20x better than the finished version

 

Starks graduated summa cum laude, so she's not a brainlet as I originally thought, just incredibly normie in her entertainment choices. She has the drive and the ability to write better than she does with proper direction (fabulously optimistic).

 

intelligence does not always equal deep interest in a particular field. it sometimes is that smarter people seek something more uncommon, but not always.

 

Her MFA was in creative writing. On paper, an ideal candidate to provide writing services.

 

While I don't hate Fallout 3 with the power of a thousands suns like some here do, I do hate the writing. It's always baffled me that some people praised it, relatively smart people with industry experience. I guess they found stuff like Little Lamplight kitschy and amusing, rather than brain-dead. I dunno. At least you have to admit the Enclave and "President" were poorly written right? I guess not, I dunno.

 

Well, look at this:



I mean, shit, a kid pretending to be an adult, with chubby chicks and an oversized helmet? That dislikes adults?
It's made especially to tickle the lowest common denominator. At this point it doesn't even matter what they say, all Bethesda's audience will think is "OMG soooooo cutttttttte!!!"

You have to give it to Bethesda, they do know what Joe McStupid likes.
