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

More like one, but at least it's on decent 4th place.

You did not miss anything of value, bro.

Did you play Pathfinder:Kingmaker or Solasta/BG3 early access?

and Happy birthday!

Thank you

And sorry but I just can't stand fantasy in general.
I have always been more into science fiction, space but also futuristic post apocalyptic.
Plus I have been reading some negative posts about Pathfinder and BG3 on the codex.

Dude if you depend on everybody in Codex giving glowing recommendation about an RPG you would probably stop playing RPG altogether after 2005 or so.

Nearly every game in the Codex has flaws and will have people critique it. Underrail is one if not the only few exceptions where it is universally regarded as very good in the Codex.

Go to some pirate site, try it out yourself man.

What's this about the second half being bad? The first half was already bad enough.

The maps only get shorter and more corridor-y as you go on. Also you can get the best equipment about halfway through the game.

When I have been talking with someone on chat about The Outer Worlds I can't help but get a mental picture of Deus Ex Invisible War on my mind.
Is this an apt comparison?

Invisible War is much better.

I've been reading user reviews for this game on metacritic. The word that often comes up is this - 'mediocrity'. I agree.

How bad it may be, Deus Ex Invisible war is better.

Wow, serious?
I had the idea that Deus Ex Invisible War not only had failed as a sequel but also as an action-RPG in general because of the poor design such as the characters, world, quests, etc.

That Invisible War is considered superior by some who played OW.

I finished both games.

(Yes, had nothing to play. Probably should stop waste my life on bad games)

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Yes, you should

As shit as the game is I still don't understand how they made the ending sequence of events so bad structurally and that they didn't even try to fix it after. Obvious things like allies spawning out of nowhere which is even more broken with corpo-leaning character. How is Boyarsky happy with this? Sawyer wouldn't have let this shit slide lmao

Invisible War is better because it's less tedious and the dialogue, believe it or not, is far less retarded. IW also had very impressive graphics when it first came out.

Outer Worlds isn't great but if you think Invisible War is better your fucking brain is broken

They are both shit, but Invisibile war do not have LGBT/socialist propaganda all over whole game, so it is a bit better shit.

Except it actually is

What's this about the second half being bad? The first half was already bad enough.

It baffles me as well - maybe these 'reviews' referring to Monarch - a huge bland location (with some shit to actually explore tho) with a lot of backtracking to be done which considered worse than the first few locations where everything is cramped as hell. Or maybe they write that because the plot is not consistent enough (to put it politely) so they're losing it or whatever. Who knows.

Anywayz, the more time passes, the more my internal compass turning from "mediocrity" (which is a fair rate to this) to "irredeemable trash and a fucking disgrace". Reason - world-building/general writing is a joke and it spoils everything. For anyone who still thinking about trying subj out: look at the first settlement on youtube or read somewhere about it and it doesn't get better later on, trust me.

To think I was genuinely exited for this when I first saw the trailer and learned who is in charge. To hell with it. The ship looks nice - that's the only good thing I can say about this game.

Even at half off, TOW's concurrent players' peak was at 20,349 which is half of PoE's and even less than Deadfire's (22,724). Looks like most people who intended to pay money for it on PC either bought it from the Epic store or used gamepass.

or people just aren't interested in playing a game with ugly characters

20k is a decent result, considering the circumstances and the price.

Alphabet soup people.

Jesus.

In this case, more like Satan.

I've went through the portfolios of every character artist that worked on the game and not one of them has those atrocious characters in there.
There's plenty of fully clothed characters with helmets from Outer Worlds throughout them.

I have no idea who exactly was responsible for that mess.
