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

there is no interactive lockpicking or hacking
there is no player romance

GOOD

Player romance is the worst.

I don't mind the lockpicking or hacking, but I don't miss it either.

I agree. Luckily other games didn't do that either, like Bloodlines or Cyberpunk !

Because you keep bumping it you mongoloid

WHY WON'T THIS THREAD DIE

Because there's going to be an announcement for the announcement of the announcement trailer for TOW2 probably in like 4-5 months.

The Outer Worlds is the little game who couldn't.

"We don't know how to make minigames fun, so there is no interactive lockpicking or hacking."
"We don't know how to write player romance, so there is no player romance."
"We don't know how to do stealth, so you just turn invisible."
"We don't know how to have original thought, so we'll just say Capitalism bad and won't go anywhere with it."

I'd say the argument is less capitalism is bad (quite a few NPCs find their role in the system fulfilling and even non-brainwashed ones recognize with different levels of approval that the corporations are needed in order to organize and develop things) and more that corporations don't have your interests at heart.

The game is an exploration of what it would be like if a group of humans were cutoff from the rest of civilization and matured in an atmosphere where capitalism is revered religiously. It's less "bad" and more weird.

Honestly, the heavy involvement of corporations feels like a pretext for the artist to design a 1950s Mad Men corporate ad like aesthetic because the juxtaposition between that and the weird sci-fi/post apocalyptic stuff is what people liked about Fallout.

I wouldn't get Thi4f even for free.

 

[Sacibengala]

They already gave outerworlds a long time ago for free. I was surprised that I got it the first time, didn't played and forgot completely about it.

If you don't want to install the Epic app, you can log in from your browser if you want to check your games owned. It's in your account details section.

It wasn't. I went in expecting dollar store Fallout and was still disappointed.

 

[luj1]

dollar store Fallout 4 you mean

 

[Lhynn]

I have to wonder how it is possible that epic games gives one or two free games a week maybe, and Ive never had even the slightest impulse to play ANY of them. Its like a selection of the shittiest garbage that nobody should ever play.

 

[calgary.alberta]

I was thinking of playing it again. Then I went for a walk.

Thief 4 is a fucking piece of shit

 

[Cael]

I wouldn't touch this with a 10ft rusty halberd. Yeah, the games might be free. The ccp virus on your computer? That will cost you your entire life.

I've said this before, cancer can be treated, but ToW can't be un-played.

Nigga,i slept like a baby half trough the game. The game is that generally boring,that you can't seriously remember anything from it.

 

[Yosharian]

Thief 4 is so bad that TOW is honestly the lesser evil here

If you have a linux box, Heroic Games Launcher works as a front end for Epic, Amazon, and GOG. You can filter games by which site you have them on. I never touched Epic Games Store until I discovered that launcher.
