''You tried the best , now try the rest , Space's choice''

You know it's a Tim and Leonard when there are jokes cribbed from The Simpsons.

Ada seems redder than ever, they need to desaturate that shit.

Bullshit. How else would you play PubG. Лъжец!

Nah,we play counter strike still,i hear that they recently put out a patch,i believe that it is 1.6

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Haven't paid too much attention to the story, has the exact timeline been laid out yet?
"EARTH 2285"(Estimated end date? Start date?) is circled on the paper, advertisement says the trip will take 10 years, then the monitor indicates that it's now 2320(I assume because the colony ship went adrift), but the guy says you've been adrift for about 70 years. Then the loading screen says it's the 60th anniversary, hm

First 20 minutes of The Outer Worlds.. No character creation tho , the sneak bastards don't want to shown until release.



''You tried the best , now try the rest , Space's choice''

There's a lot wrong here. Maybe I'm just really cynical but it does look like they've still put the "mediocre open-world FPS" part way, way before the RPG part. Also, considering stealth is apparently noteworthy enough for this video to show it so prominently, why the fuck are you not able to move/hide bodies or make disable enemies nonlethally?

What does that mean, exactly? You see people on the Codex say stuff like this a lot (not just about this game). What does an action-RPG have to do in its first 20 minutes to convince you that it's totes an RPG and not a dumb action game for dumb people? Start out with a deep dialogue tree or something like that? Remember that this video skipped over character creation.

Looks pretty similar to the start of FNV. The game put you in a area where you can test some skills into use in and out of conversation and later ( you can see other gameplays) give you a quest to feel how choices and consequences works when you get to EdgeWater.

The fact that there's an objective marker immediately in front of you when you first get control is a bad sign.

That's somewhat reassuring. I wasn't a New Vegas fan either, though, (though that was largely for mechanical reasons) so I guess there's just a strong chance that this won't be my thing.

So did New Vegas, though you could mod it out of the HUD and mostly ignore it on the map.

I wasn't a New Vegas fan either, though

Then this game is NOT FOR YOU. This is Fallout New Vegas in space, that's the goal and point of it. It's okay to not be into shit, but why people post in threads and criticize games that aren't even trying to be something for them, I'll never get. I'm not in the RTS threads going "dude this looks like it has base building, what a piece of shit."

 

[Quillon]

They shoulda at least placed the marker on compass instead of in our faces.

ed: lol its also on the compass already, now if there is an option to disable the floating one...

 

[Whisper]

This is "Dragon Age 3" and "Mass Effect Andromeda" again.
Wont even pirate this shit.

 

[Ensi]

Looks better than Elex pretty interesting to me, gonna give it a shot.

 

[AwesomeButton]

I don't know if this is even worth pirating.

Bu-bu-but the game will have breathtaking views, yo.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

I don't know if this is even worth pirating.

Imo the videos make it pretty obvious that it's not. Nice to see that the usual suspects are willing to pretend otherwise though. Games like these is the only thing keeping nu codex going.

Don't worry sis even if you never get the game I'm sure you'll still be on nearly every page of this thread totally complaining!

 

[Jedi Exile]

It won't.


Worst case, Josh will patch-in a turn-based mode just in time for the Steam release

 

[Daedalos]

Is there any other way than buying it on EPIC store on release for PC players? I don't believe there is. I myself is gonna be buying it day ONE bros

More from IGN: https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/10/15/developer-interview-the-outer-worlds-unlocked-415

We're joined by two developers from The Outer Worlds, the new first-person RPG from new Xbox first-party studio Obsidian Entertainment: co-director Leonard Boyarsky and narrative designer Nittai Poddar. It launches on October 25 (including straight into Xbox Game Pass!). We discuss the origins of the project with respect to Boyarsky's Fallout background, crazy things that have happened during playtesting, the importance of The Outer Worlds' deep character creator, and more!

 

[Duraframe300]

Who's Nittai Poddar? Is he a new writer?
