The Outer Worlds 2 - the Earth Directorate strikes back - coming 2025

[rusty_shackleford]

Nobody cares about Outer Worlds, completely forgettable even by normies. Absolutely soulless.
Only reason anyone cared to begin with was because it released a few days after the Fallout First debacle. People thought it would be FNV in space, instead it's a retarded cousin of Mass Effect with none of the charm.

rusty_shackleford it was popular enough to warrant DLC planned after the fact, and it was a smashing success on gamepass (which is what MS has been shilling a lot lately)

it probably did better than deadfire.

Yes,nano is very gentle codexer,you should see his pictures after some gay sex.

Is he a twink?

 

[Alphons]

It's gonna be announced during the XBOX conference in two days.

How do you know that?

Jenk is Megan Starks,she knows everything.

It definitely did better than Deadfire. It's been on Steam since October 2020 and has 10.6k reviews. Deadfire has been on Steam since May 2018 and has 8.7k reviews.

That site is known for being full of shit.

It's no surprise that The Outer Worlds is getting a sequel. They were jizzing their pants over how successful it was two weeks after it released. The interesting thing (if it actually happens) is that the sequel is getting announced now and not later. Slam dunk to be released before Avowed?

 

[ExposedBrainMatter]

Since the first game belonged in 2007, maybe 2 will get an upgrade and belong in 2009.

It's from the Take 2 Earnings Presentation https://ir.take2games.com/static-files/305e4c41-cdc7-40f7-94e1-0008d372db3f

During the fourth quarter, Private Division released Murder on Eridanos, the final add-on for their highly successful game, The Outer Worlds, which has sold-in more than 3 million units.

No, please no.

It does not say sold:

sold-in

This is a term of art. It's including the amount Epic paid for excloosivity.

It'll be interesting to see if that holds up with the sequel's sales. The gaming market's very much a "sins of the father" sort of thing, and I'm sure we're all familiar with how PoE's commercial success didn't carry to Deadfire's targets.

 

[Ghulgothas]

Eager to see if they're going to keep baiting latent loathing for Bethesda with the "From the Creators of Fallout" shtick like last time.

FWIW they had to sell their games like this to Interplay's middle management because these "hell yeah blood guts and sex" projects were the only things the bros were interested in greenlighting (see also Torment vision statement, Baldur's Gate getting rejected for being "stupid").

They lost their GURPS license for being too violent and grotesque.
No history rewriting pls.

Well yeah, they weren't going to take those graphics out. Arcanum wasn't sold on gore though.

Man, out of curiosity, I just posted "Man, Outer Worlds is so boring." right on a certain youtuber that is an Obsidian shill where he was commenting the latest Outer Worlds DLC, got hundreds of upvotes, and pretty much everyone commenting were normies that were duped by youtubers thinking Outer Worlds was a New Vegas kind of game with ShillUp, YoungMeh and others praising the piece of shit like no tommorrow to farm controversy views from Fallout 76.

We could get another Pillars of Eternity thing where most normies were expecting playing a typical DnD story to play a strange desconstruction of a polytheistic pantheon that wasnt real but at same time it was real and how that was a big deal but at same time it wasnt a great deal because they actually had divine powers and the villain didnt even mentioned your name or acknowledged your existance by 2/3 of the main story.

 

[Volourn]

Outer Worlds was shit. Outer Worlds 2 will be shitter.

People compared it to FO?

It looked like a worse version of ME. And, for maybe the hour I tried it on Gamepass, it was even worse than I thoguht it be.

LMFAO

"we are going to grab the players guts and remind him of this"


I knew it. I KNEW IT!!! They did grab gamers by the pussy back then. I fucking knew it. That's how it got to be loved. Holy fuck. My ranting about how gamers want to be treated was 100% pinpoint accurate.
No wonder shoutbox didn't argue with what I said. Let this be a lesson. If you're going to let a game influence anything you do, make sure you read their vision doc for real.

Yet it got dominated by the duck game.

HOLY SHIT A REALLY SELF AWARE TRAILER THAT WAS POGGERS AS FUCK MAN

Well, at least they are honest, sorta.
