The leftist media like RPS will lap it up.

I doubt it. It's way too problematic.

I don’t understand this preoccupation about the reception. Either they succeeded in their attempt to do something great, or they failed. Wether it is going to be a commercial or “critical” success is irrelevant. We are talking about cRPGs here. It’s the niche genre par excellence. It doesn’t matter what illiterate game journalists think. It’s like jazz. It is supposed to be a small market. If you are selling too much to a bigger audience, you are doing it wrong.

It's pretty fucking relevant to them friend capitalist.

I have a feeling i should backup the launch version of this game ASAP. You never know if the devs'd be forced to censor the game down the line.

Commercial and critical success have nothing to do with each other. In fact, as we can currently see in the movie business, critics praising a movie means jack shit while some movies that are shat on by critics are loved by moviegoers.

Better safe than sorry but neither Steam nor GoG are known for heavy-handed censorship, and they're their own publisher now, so I think it's fairly unlikely.

Sounds communist

My bet this game is a buggy mess that runs like dogshit. How many hours of gameplay is there supposed to be? My bet 20.

 

[GentlemanCthulhu]

My bet 20.

Devs have mentioned about 70 to 90 hours.

 

[Prime Junta]

How many hours of gameplay is there supposed to be? My bet 20.

The original goal was somewhere in that ballpark but it got a lot bigger. By now they've got a bunch of playtesting in so they're not pulling the numbers out of their arse. They've said a number of things but about 50 hours for an average non-completionist run, around 90 for a completionist one is about right. On top of this it has massive replayability. It's a big game and the content density is nuts.

Don't worry, your mother's secrets are safe with me. Charming woman, I wouldn't let her down.

Prime Junta is just setting himself up for disappointment, I can't imagine the game is that good

The same thing was said about Jesus.

[Sailor Woedica]

Exactly like Damsel.

Admittedly, some of them are even more like Damsel than others.

Ugh whatever ok I wishlisted the game even if you play as so an out of shape detective, the creators do seem really cool

We all know the only thing you'll be playing is Outer Worlds

 

[rusty_shackleford]

To truly appreciate the developers' love of communism, everyone should pirate this game instead of buying it.

I can still preorder and buy the game even if I drop it to play Outer Worlds tho?
