The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition - Obsidian's first-person sci-fi RPG set in a corporate space colony

[Kaivokz]

What you want to play again and pick the other option? Wow so many different choices. There are two choices for everything that do the same thing. It is garbage.

I see this criticism of a lot and I don’t really understand it. If you have 10 ways to get from point A to B, then all choice is meaningless because you always end up at B? Yeah you have to leave the first planet, but you can reach that objective in many ways. What is your alternative? A fully open world where all your choices matter? I’d rather have a linear story with lots of choices in the gameplay.

I feel like the flaws system would have been a lot more interesting if they were not optional.

They aren't optional on Supernova I think.

They're optional on Supernova

They’re still optional on Supernova. But you can take all of them if you want to punish yourself.

 

[LizardWizard]

You can take 7 flaws on Supernova. The extra damage flaws are worth taking because the game is easy as shit if you're going long guns. I don't feel like the negative attributes are worth it, unless you're just murdering everything I guess.

Hmmm there are some websites that said Flaws get accepted automatically on Supernova. Wonder where that came from.

Tim and Leonard said that Supernova would've be accepted automatically on Supernova on multiple interviews. It's kinda strange that they changed.. Hopefully in patch they make Custom Difficulty that includes this.

How long is this exactly? Im finishing with the first zone (Green vale thingy), and it seems like its just the start of teh game, but according to one side quest list i found, its like 1/3 are here or something equally stupid

Hmm my user reviews keep getting deleted from (((Metacritic))) Really makes you think.

Your review wasn't too "objective", probably.

AGREED. Here is an objective review to balance out some of that toxic negativity!

Well, at least we know why the writing is so uninspired.

She can clean herself up for an awards show.

( I am petty enough to take joy in how Patel looks 10 years older than she really is, Dollarhyde looks her age, and Starks still looks like she's in her mid-late 20s).

When the fuck was this ever the case in cRPGs? Most certainly not in any BioWare, Black Isle, Obsidian, Bethesda, Piranha Bytes game at least.

Or are you perhaps talking about Super Mario? In that case then please reveal how you can unlock the sex scenes because I never managed to do that.

The Witcher, which of course is very Based.

The asexuality agenda comes of as severely insincere or plain illogical because if someone's truly asexual he wouldn't even bother thinking about the topic of sexuality, even less write about it.

Asexuals aren't necessarily aromantic. It's pointless to make an entire quest revolve around it; what does this have to do with the themes of The Outer Worlds, Leonard? Sawyer in his prime wouldn't have allowed this (and he didn't, see Fallout New Vegas companion quests). Veronica's reaction to getting her dress was very cute, but that was a minor thing, it wasn't her entire character arc.

Same can be said about anyone who thinks user score on MTC means anything.

It's one of the best tools we have to measure consumer reception since EGS doesn't have any. I suppose there's also the Microsoft store https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/the-outer-worlds/bvtkn6cq8w5f?activetab=pivot:reviewstab

Yeah, that's way too lenient, but I'm not too surprised. Obsidian continues to remain fortunate that they've never had to face a serious review bombing incident.

Marry Starks, Fuck Dollarhyde, Kill Patel

A significant portion of the negative Metacritic reviews are butthurt about Epic store, so that's only partially true

Regular reminder that Witcher isn't an RPG. Neither is TOW.

All the ultra-woke websites are gushing over Parvati because she checks so many inclusiveness boxes, when the truth is players only like her because she's a cute girl who's nice to them.

Getting that serious role-playing in.

 

[just]

now you'll get even more parvatis in future games
whole spectrum lol

Gosh it's so spot on. The game is just like Fallout especially the part where you wake up Frozen in a pod at the start.

The feeling when you'd rather fuck the old all-male obsidian writing team.

almost a smile there for our poker face kate

You usually have to pay extra for that experience, can't believe I get it for free

Basically if I don't give a shit about politics will I enjoy it or not?

Play it and find out.

I think I'm going to try to play this game again. In my 4-5 attempts at playthroughs, I've never even gotten to whichever part you get a companion to join you before quitting.

The first one is.

The game's writing overall is too superficial to be political. Any "political" elements only revolve around its attempts at humor, nothing with any real-world connotations whatsoever.
