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

[Haplo]

Noone claims its better/on the level of BG/IWD. Its... fit for purpose. And the jrpg animations were great for me.
As well as progressing with Missile of Patience from a small prick, trough a summoned bow all the way to a multi-shot ballista...
Or witnessing Mechanus' Cannon... good times!

So you're saying FNV's combat can't be fun? Come ON hap. Sniping people's heads off at long range. Melting people with a laser cannon. Watching Boone rampage through Caesar's Legion like a godamn killing machine. Stomping around in Power Armour. None of these things are fun to you?

 

[rusty_shackleford]

So you think Planescape: Torment is not a masterpiece right? Because it has bad combat too

yes

The idea that an RPG with bad combat can be a masterpiece is inane. You're free to be wrong, but you are wrong.

 

[Yosharian]

I don't entirely disagree that FNV's flaws stop it from being a truly great game. All I'm saying is if that's your stance, you better be consistent. Note that I never said *I* think Planescape Torment is a masterpiece.

Personally I can look past FNV's problems, especially because you can fix some of them with mods. But yeah, it's janky as fuck sometimes and it can ruin the experience somewhat

fnv isn't a masterpiece

Yes you did. I have it in legal writing as well and every single person on codex can testify that you said you think PST is masterpiece. No way to get yourself out of this one kiddo.

New Vegas is not a masterpiece not because of the engine, but because the writing is bland, the characters are boring and the voice acting is awful.

And if you think the main writer is good then go play Horizon zero dawn and see it's the same boring shit.

random npcs and small roles that share the same actors aren't great but the characters that actually matter in new vegas have great voice acting, what are you on about? House, Caesar and Yesman wouldn't be nearly as good if their actors weren't doing a stellar job.

OMG IM PRESSING THE RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON AS ENEMIES RUN AROUND AIMLESSLY.

I'm a sucker for unarmed combat in vidya so punching deathclaws to death and seeing them explode everywhere was pretty fun for me

 

[Quillon]

Melting people with a laser cannon.

That shit sucks, along with bloody mess thing. Dismembering enemies is way more fun than melting them to that generic ash pile/exploding them to generic bits.

Those can be... very briefly. That terrible engine and drab environmental design manages to ruin it for me.
And yeah, enemies are pretty helpless vs sniping them with lazors so... not really fun.
Fallout 4 is a lot more fun, as far as shooting is concerned. Heck, even Outer Worlds has more fun combat.

Commander Over-share revisits the game that nobody cares about.

I just bought Eridanos, hope it will be good.

Have you not been reading this thread? It will be fucking ass.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I don't recall what was more expensive. Season pass or buying all separately. I opted upfront Season pass as there was a huge discount going on. Then i saw the reviews and speedrun.

 

[Wulfric Pinewood]

Well to make an balance i will buy Bard's Tale trilogy remastered too

 

[Mefi]

I picked it up on the sale currently on. Figured I'd get something out of it. I was wrong. Really struggling to even complete the first settlement's missions. It's just boring. The satire was done better in Bioshock Infinite, so was the combat, and where you'd expect the RPG to shine it shits out of anything but the most obvious binary decisions. It's such a weird game for taking the 50s SF styling and making it so dull.

Yeah, my experience was the exact same. It was just boring and dull to the extreme to the point I couldn't get past the first settlement because of it.

 

[kangaxx]

It's one of those games that is pretty boring, but becomes worse and worse the more you think about it.

 

[jackofshadows]

Yeah, I was able to complete it unlike those two gentlements but the more I looking back the lesser I value this game.

 

[kangaxx]

Same, but by the end I was sprinting through the "content" as fast as possible. The game was like one long awkward dad joke in some ways.

 

[Blaine]

That's what is bound to happen to creativity and free expression when there's a coven of zealots installed in the studio.
