Disco Elysium coming out 10 days before this will probably suck for Obsidian. Give everyone a crazy innovative RPG, then follow up with something that feels extremely safe, mediocre and done to death...
Please list any RPGs similar to new vegas that came out within the past 5 years because I want to play them. :D
Missing the point entirely. If I released Guitar Hero 7 today, would that make it fresh just because we haven't had one in years? No, it's a series that ran its course and looks dull now.
That's exactly how these "Fallout 3-like" RPGs look now. Since Fallout 3 came out we had over 11 years of technological and design changes. Some things like that terribly dull and floaty combat, the entirely horizontal exploration and that stale dialog style look dated as fuck - we now know and expect better. FFS, when F3 came out the combat already felt like crap, since then we had games like Dishonored, Prey, Deus Ex, EYE, nu-DOOM, Overwatch, Destiny, Titanfall and many others raising the bar and adding new concepts to FPS combat...
Cyberpunk looks like a game that's incorporating this evolution, but Outer Worlds doesn't even have any sense of verticallity in its combat or level design, it's literally like a Fallout 3 mod. And nothing Obsidian showed so far looks interesting enough to carry such a stale game. Might as well go play some New Vegas mods.
