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

[the mole]

sometimes it's fun to do something dumb in a game, you already kill hundreds of humans that you've labeled marauders who's to say those people aren't family men with wife and children at home

 

[Prime Junta]

Everyone here is complaining about Parvati but the way I did this whole Parvati thing was: meet Parvati, screw Edgewater, go take to Reed, kill Reed, Parvati went into shock mode telling me that she wants to leave, I told her to fuck right off and I would have killed her too but she teleported. That's it.
So much drama over this Parvati complication.

I gibbed Reed too but Parvati didn't mind because he shot first. Or at least his guards did.

 

[SkiNNyBane]

Gamers being snowflakes what else is new.

What agenda? Not wanting to get in trouble with media because some retard codexer decides to make a character named Hitler and proceed to kill all the short haired women and minorities during a stream? This forum is literally living proof that a company with any awareness about potential publicity consequences has to do this kind of shit. Maybe in a few decades when all the codex low class degens die out people would have no reason to do it but for now... Just read some of the autism here holy fuck. We live in an age when one retard can make a youtube video that would generate 1000x articles in fake outrage.

This is pretty amusing. I can imagine some butthurt New Yorker sitting in his reclining chair fuming that people dare name themselves "Hitler" in their video games and what could be done to stop them.

And then his thoughts take him to his happy place, where he imagines how all these "low class degenerates" (even though some might be younger than him) should and will all DIE in a few decades and the world will turn into a Utopia without any conflict or class and racial struggle or anyone having any "bad thoughts" ever again, or naming themselves "Hitler" in video games.

Have you tried applying as a writer for Obsidian? You seem to have the prerequisites down.

I dont give a shit about people naming themselves Hitler you dimwit. Learn to read.

I wish I had done the same. Now she is asking me about how to ask her crush out and overall behaves like a little girl. I feel like a babysitter!

Sometimes it's fun to remember they're just games, commrrade.

I didn't have a problem with Parvati tbh.

You brought it up, bro. Nobody was really talking about Hitler before other than as an example of one of the many banned words. You came up with this whole entire rather specific scenario and its consequences from nowhere and threw it out there, so it seems to be something that at least somewhat preoccupies you and gnaws at you in your subconscious.

More importantly, I can't really remember or know of any game that restricted players from naming themselves in a SinglePlayer game before this (at least in this rather blatant manner). Seems to not have been that much of an issue for the past 30 years of Internet and games. Now that Obsidian implemented a filter, similarly out of nowhere, it apparently suddenly is?

 

[Nerevar]

Ledditors need to be ethnically cleansed.

 

[Grotesque]

I respect people's privacy

What does this have to do with someone's privacy?
His statements about you and Infinitron were in plain view on a thread, not private message.

inconsequential drama

Demean it all you want but from all this stems two clear paths.
Chris Avellone is an untrained inept that throws with unfounded accusations or we had a rare opportunity to peek behind the curtain and he spoke more than he should have.

 

[Prime Junta]

Me neither. She's just banal and vapid, not actively off-putting.

 

[fantadomat]

I'm learning some interesting translations from reading the banned word list
like
prostitute
prostytutka

and
Rapist
Pakistani(yes, "pakistani" is banned)

Yeah,they went out of their way to find such words. There is even some Bulgarian words.

Why is this fat retarded champaign socialist still allowed on the codex? It is painful to read his delusions,it is as bad as the game's writing.

Can't name your character Mangal I'm guessing? :D

 

[hexer]

Honestly, I don't know. How many times should we give Obsidian a pass?

I'm not even hyped for this game anymore and I was in the same hall with Tim Cain 2 years ago where he boasted "if you loved Fallout, you'll REALLY love my new game".
Maybe things went downhill from there.. I dunno.
However, I also think there were other great people working on classic Fallouts that aren't around anymore... maybe that was the issue?

The people play a role, but I also think that it's a matter of the times. In more pretentious terms, culture reflects the spirit of an epoch. If you try to bring it back, you could only do a homage at most.

 

[Naraya]

I have a question. As someone who never played FNV - should I get FNV or TOW, or they can't really be compared?

 

[the mole]

Is fallout 3 better than the outer world's, I vote yes

FNV without a doubt.

Oh noooo, someone might make a character called Hitler and kill women and brown people in a video game, oh nooooo

New vegas 100 percent, it's much more unique storywise it's one of the best ever

While the outer world's might seem interesting on the surface it's mostly bland shooting at creatures

 

[Junmarko]

Me neither. She's just banal and vapid, not actively off-putting.

Grew on me when she didn't bat an eye at the idea of smoking out Adelaide and leaving her body in a dumpster.

FNV no question. TOW is just FNV's retarded little brother.

 

[Butter]

If I were making a game, I'd ban the name "Dave" and nothing else, just to make people wonder what I've got against people named Dave.

 

[Daedalos]

Yea FNW wins hands down in the story and writing department, it's fallout ffs, and it's new vegas, which is the good new fallout game.

TOW had/have the potential to contain a great story, i'm still kind of waiting for it

Inb4 Obsidian sues Kasparov for releasing Disco Elysium so close to Outer Worlds, obviously biasing peoples opinions when coming from a clear GOTY title to TOW.

Is anyone actually still playing?
