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

[aweigh]

this is driving me crazy, but I swear the soft piano melody that plays while you're walking around in Groundbreaker station sounds very similar to Laura's theme from TWIN PEAKS.

Looks like game made by developers Comrade.

Now compare this with Stardew Valley, the Harvest Moon clone that was hugely successful. You don't have a single church in a rural city, but you do have an altar for a pagan god, a gay couple, a beggar saying he is not fit for daily responsibilities, an environmental movement quest, astrology, and new age hippy bullshit..

Sounds like you played it quite extensively.

My fiancée played.

You watched.

It reflects the decadence of morals in the most transparent and unpretentious way.

Western Indie devs are a progressive circlejerk where everyone knows everyone and they all fuck each other, too. You don't necessarily need to be part of the most degenerate shit but if you don't signal your progressiveness to your fellow devs I'd reckon you'd get excluded real fast and connections are important. The Holowka thing that happened a few months ago is one of the few times where the incestuous nature of the indie dev community bubbled to the surface.

You don't have a single church in a rural city

Maybe there's hope for the human race yet

TOW gets nominated by TGA as best game of the year, along with death stranding, control, smash brothers, RE2 remake and shadow die twice.

Also nominated for best narrative, best RPG.

Ashely Burch get nominated as best performance for playing Pravati.

The best RPG list is some next level bullshit, even more so than last year. Other than TOW and Disco, the rest are Monster Hunder world(last year TGA's best RPG)'s DLC, kingdom hearts 3 and FF14(an Online game). Last year it has 4 RPGs in the list while the only one that aren't win.

 

[jebsmoker]

can someone give me the skimmy if this game is worth your trouble or not. i want to know if dumping 60 dollars on this is worth it

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

no.

 

[jebsmoker]

no.

don't hold it against me but i don't trust your critique for grimoire, but that's because i'm super patient when it comes to blobbers. although, a few other people i talk to said it's just far inferior compared to f:nv in terms of world-building and quest design so ehhhhhh

 

[fantadomat]

It is worth pirating only to bitch about it here


But no,it is not worth any money,just replay new vegas or ELEX. That is what i am doing now,it just made me itch for some good open world.

TOW is far inferior to F:NV, but that doesn't mean it's not worth playing. I'm having fun so far with TOW, though my biggest criticism for the game is that the more I play it... the more it just makes me miss F:NV.

Oh, also you can get TOW for $1 over at Microsoft's new Game Pass service for PC.

It's certainly not worth full price.

 

[jebsmoker]

maybe. i don't feel like fucking with the game pass service. i might buy TOW for like 15 dollars in a year or something because i'm hoping it'll have an expansion pack with far better quests

I really don't get it why they include Monster Hunter and MMORPGs in RPG list every year. They should've be on best online game or whatever.
Perhaps is because lack of actual RPG each year.. Idk just doens't make sense.

Low-key i want to KH3 to win just to see rampage.

I won't be surprised if KH 3 wins. They give it to Monster Hunter last year.

Leonard Boyarsky: Having been the main writer on Max, I’m partial to his pairings with the other companions.

So based Leon wrote Max? Well doesn't that explain a lot.

Btw Megan just did an interview where she said she co-wrote Max so it makes even so much more sense why he's so must-have in your Unreliable gang!

(Sam was the other character she wrote)

i never understood jrpgs. maybe i'm just a degenerate freak cause i don't see the appeal of playing some girl armed with a shitty wooden sword fighting the same mushroom enemies over and over again for like 10 hours straight

Oh before I forget here's the cool interview:

 

[Sailor Woedica]

And sorry to double (kind of triple) post but Xbox has a new tv ad for game pass and Outer Worlds is first boasted

!!!

 

[Ovplain]

Just bought it, ran it, had to quit after less than 10 minutes of gameplay. Never had issues with motion sickness in any game, but this thing hit me like a brick as soon as I started moving. What's up with that? Anyway, found a bunch of threads and posts from other people complaining. Think I fixed it well enough. Still, crazy!

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

i'll hold it against you and i'll even smear it all over your face. in a minute or two, or twenty, i'll come back with a quote of my first post here.

good stuff. i might as well just stick with deus ex or new vegas or whatever

 

[Bliblablubb]

The Prismatic Hammer has been rebalanced.

Rebalancing weapons in a singleplayer game because you cannot into playtesting it... wait a moment, I thought Sawyer was not involved anymore?

Obsidian. Obsidian never changes...
