As always with modern rpg games reading about them is more fun than actually playing.

Somehow only now realized how borderlandsy it looks. Also, from watching Cohh's playthrough, don't know... first town has a really dead feel. In Fallout games, that feeling was assuaged by exploration, and sort of became a big part of the experience by itself, but I wonder how THAT will work when you don't have one big zone.

Watching Cohh's live really show how much effort they have put in the companions. It really affect conversations having one with them. Also I really like this 3/4 ways dialogue. So far the companions feels like part of the world.

I kinda have to agree, I remember the memes about this being borderlands from the more skeptic codexers around here after they announced the game, I didn't think much because it was still Obsidian but it seems some of that skepticism was justified

More than any other comparable game even. She has interjections to a shitload of things and things like her dad's grave are just a nice touch.

Graphically? Humor and charachters are different/much less over the top than borderlands and gameplay loop is different.

I did only play Borderlands 1 and what I could stomach of 2 and Pre-Sequel, though.

Does anyone know how much it weighs (how much disk space we need)? I'm wondering whether I should uninstall Disco Elysium or not since it's mediocre anyway.

its funny how games that get lot of hype like bloodstained, bloodlines 2 and outer worlds are games you beat in 3-4 sittings. A week or so and forget about instantly.

More like Disco Elysium, Undertale or Numenera which all have been praised by mainstream media but in reality are games for one sitting (and Undertale is just a shitty game for retards). VTMB 2 and TOW you haven't played so you can speculate at best (although by the looks of it TOW will be very replayable).
