It didn't look as janky as I thought it would, but the 21st century Millennial writing is getting even worse.

It looks like biowarish wanabe. 2 companjons. Bunch linked levels. Dialogue.

Combat tries into dark messiah of mm but I messiah still was mo4e fun probably.

Deadpan hit with wooden oar in da face developer delivery matches nuibsidian dialogue accurately

Game development used to be a group of boomers staying after working hours eating pizza and coding a game for fun.

Now, it's a bored millenial working for the top 3 biggest corp in the world, producing souless shit after years of costly development.

I don't expect anything good after The Outer Worlds happened but I couldn't care less about the graphicswhore takes. Gotta wait till release to see if they manage to improve writing at all.

Damn, I didn't expect it to feel so bad. I actually laughed when they shot a pistol for the first time, it looks and sounds like a toy - overall combat seems to lack any impact, animations look weird and janky af and whole thing is plastic and gay.

Basically as expected, it's Outer Worlds in POE setting.

The game's combat doesn't seems as bad as I thought it would be.. Cool that CC spells are more present than most first person RPG.

It looks nothing like Dark Messiah. It looks like Skyrim, with the same stiff animations and banal enemy behavior. They even copied the "weapon in one hand, pew pew magic in the other hand" gimmick from Skyrim.

Dark Messiah had very satisfying hit feedback. It also had more interesting enemy behavior. Enemies could jump and climb, freeze you, pick you up and throw you around...

Skyrim didnt have freezing and shattering combo for example, even though it sounds like banality that should be present in actionrpg

Let's be real here. When did anyone improve their writing during development? We get TOW writing style. Whoever doesn't like it, don't buy the game.
