The Outer Worlds Pre-Release Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

Eh from a get go you're told that corporation took over and oh god put a price tag on wares in the frontier...

 

[Big Wrangle]

To be fair, you have to have consumed a very high amount of gang weed to understand The Outer Worlds.

The only down side is the lack of inteligent aliens that I can abuse, enslave or wipe out

Dumb dialogue should have some sort of threshold since it will be stupid if you can access it when your INT is maxed for example.

In one of the dialogues in the demo, the protagonist was restricted to ONLY giving a [dumb] answer, which brings me to the speculation that he was cut out from giving a more intelligent reply because of his low int stat.

If it is it certainly won't be led by Fargo that's for sure.

I think a character can be dumb in some ways and not others, or have a threshold for dumb answers by situation as well. Id wait till I get a better idea of the whole system to judge it.


Edit: Oops I mixed up the dialogue choices.

I wish it had been isometric instead. This simply looks bad.

Isometric + turn-based, how hard could it fucking be?

Take Two were never going to fund that.

Eh? It's static and all, but seems better than anything else from Bethesda or Obsidian.

Her parents let her go to college.

we have all these stories and interviews about the meat of the game and people here continue to bitch about... graphics?

 

[Quillon]

Too many irritating high pitch sounds in conversations, it seems Obs as always left audio tuning for last.

Also talking head style... feels dated, would be much better with addition of some gesture anims and different/correct cam angles but I guess its out of scope :/

A woman has a short haircut, that means the game is bad.

Any idea on how this VATS/Max Payne system works?

You hold down a button that slows down time, it drains a bar that is under health bar very slowly, if you take an action it drains very fast. So you can stand in slow motion for a while unless you take a shot or something, which depletes it almost instantly.

 

[Glenda Glenn]

Isn't that crosshair/reticle a blatant Fallout 4 rip-off?

What kind of person wanders around in RPGs with his weapon unsheathed? Is this a role-playing game in which you role-play or a goddamn shooter with RPG elements?

 

[Lilarcor]

The Scifi background instantly reminds me Robert Sheckley and Harry Harrison books.
I would preorder game just for that.

Regarding the gameplay, Obsidian likely may offer tiered gameplay.
The standard mode with quest compass, bottomless backpack etc appealing for casual players and grognard friendly mode.

I warned you guys about Tim Cain when I posted his Steam account with all those hundreds of hours put in all the Boderlands games.

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197979050578/games/?tab=all

Tim "Borderlands and Skyrim" Cain.

Additionally, guess who's already spent more hours playing Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel than Wasteland 2? Here's a hint: There are some who call him Tim.

It was only up to you to listen.

He hid his profile at some point. Can't see how many hours he's put into Borderlands and Skyrim.

I think production values and graphics will ultimately be biggest obstacle for this to become a serious hit. It doesn't look bad, but you can definitely see it's not some $300 million blockbuster made by a team of 500 people.

 

[Quillon]

1M views on youtube, its a first for Obsidian.

Leave the length of hair aside, it's the texture that's atrocious.

Bethesda games never had good graphics or awesome production and it did well with the normies. If Obsidian plays its cards right, this might bring in many Bethestards.

Lol the views of the trailer have tripled in like 8 hours since I made a post that they have 300k. Fucking nuts. The video with 2nd most views is Pillars 1 teaser with 800k and that took 4 years.
