I remember thinking it'll be Arcanum in space.

And people were scoffing at posters who predicted it would be shit.

To be fair, it has a few high points. Definitely near the top of the list for most reactivity in an RPG.
It's not shit. It's not good. It's mediocre.

Mediocrity is a kind of shit all of its own.

It's not shit, just disappointing. Internet cannot handle gradient quality scales though.

You tried the best (Fallouts and Troika games)?

Now try the rest (Outer Worlds)!

It's not like they didn't warn you. It was always there, hidden in plain sight.

i absolutely loved this game, it's either my GOTY or 2nd place behind the resident evil 2 remake.

What exactly did you enjoy so much about it? Genuinely curious as most parts of the game seemed really lackluster to me, even though I have to admit that the atmosphere and the companions evoked my Firefly nostalgia.

The fuck was that retard, "obsidian returning to their roots of FPS rpg"


Fuck even fluent is not that retarded like that pile of excrements.

 

[Quillon]

Don't know what you are talking about, watch the damn thing first.

In the first minute he says that retarded shit and then goes on telling me how great this pile of shit is lol,go suck a dick quillon .!.

 

[Quillon]

More power to you fag,won't wast an hour and a half listening to some youtube retard that doesn't even know the studio's genre,talk about a game that i already know that it is utter garbage! You do you,i guess.

 

[Quillon]

won't wast an hour and a half listening to some youtube retard that doesn't even know the studio's genre,talk about a game that i already know that it is utter garbage

what does "knowing the genre" mean? he's comparing the game's narrative structure to fallout 1, isn't that proof enough?

anyway after 25 mins he started on explaining the narrative; he made good points before that.

 

[LudensCogitet]

It is hard to trust his judgement when the first thing he says is

The Outer Worlds is the game you get when the original Fallout and Deus Ex have a baby.

Followed immediately by calling it a damn good game and comparing its story to Witcher 2.
This guy does what I've seen everywhere: says words that make the game sound like exactly what it should be (at least at the beginning of the review) but have nothing to do with the substance of the game itself.

 

[Quillon]

Rewatched the beginning again, guess I really tuned in around when he was talking about game length, now that I see he parroted good shit about the game like most others at the beginning but from there on he echoes what we've been complaining about for 20 mins. Tho structurally the comparisons ain't so wrong(other than Witcher 2, wtf), what's strange is he compares the games etc then says the game is so much fun but when he starts to talk about the game you don't get the idea that he had much fun. Seen this in Angry Joe's review also; their review talk sounded like for a game they'd normally give 6/10 but in the end they all gave it 8s.

I think it gets harder to play mediocre games after you become an oldfag. Decades ago, I might have toiled through Outer Worlds, in the same spirit of meh as Ass Effect, Dragon Ass: Obgyn, or Pooplivion, but now I just don't care. It's harder to get into these things unless they offer something interesting, be it just one thing really well done (say writing in Disco Disco or survival/basebuilding in 7 Days to Die).

I kind of disagree,i don't have problem with mediocre games,as long as they have something unique and interesting,now i am plying Planet Alcatraz and am having a blast. I also managed to play trough mediocre shit like mad max and rage 2. But this one just boring and fucking soulless,fuck i did the dishes in mid dialogue lol. It feels like an empty conveyor belt,corporate shit can.

I'll never understand YouTubers like the above, who seriously need to learn how to edit. 1 hour and 37 minutes? There are movies shorter than that.

Never thought I would see the day when Obsidian's game wins popularity contest.

Thanks to console players.

The Outer Worlds won IGN's Best RPG of 2019:

And that should be a surprise to nobody. Who the fuck would expect something else? They are pretty obsolete at this point,going the way of the mechinema. 12 million subs yet getting around 100k for their more popular videos,only trailer make big view counts,but i don't know if they have ads.

 

[thesheeep]

but i don't know if they have adds.

A significant part of their target audience probably does have ADD...
