Where will you be purchasing The Outer Worlds?

[Bruma Hobo]

Infinitron announcement trailer for TOW had 10 million views. Those are AAA blockbuster of the year numbers. E3 trailer has 1m which is still good, but then social media engagement literally drops dead and most of the subsequent materials rarely break 50k. TOW subreddit is mostly dead as well.

I doubt this will flop, but after Epic store drama hype really went limpdick. And there was a point when TOW seemed destined to be the next multi billion franchise.

I don't think that's because of the ES drama (which obviously didn't help either). Most normies were expecting the next Fallout New Vegas, a Bethesda killer right after the Fallout 76 fiasco, but the Obsidian geniuses straight out told them that the game wasn't a Fallout successor and that it was going to be yet another linear cinematic game, instead of shut their whore mouths, selling a dream and ride the hype train like most other studios do. They fucked it up.

Steam/GOG, and that's if I purchase it at all. Preview footage has not been promising, IMO.

YARR MATEY

if i like it then i will purchase it next year on steam

 

[Taxnomore]

I will pirate it but if people asks me online I will say I bought it on EGS for Internet street cred.

I'm getting a copy for free on PS4 Pro. But if it's any good then I will definitely buy it on Steam when it releases next year. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm getting a console copy for free then I would never have played it till release on Steam or GoG. I am just not sure how the fuck I'm going to play this at 30FPS and it will most likely be buggy as fuck on consoles as well. So not optimistic.

EGS dont have friend list or all that shit right? So nobody can confirm yourshit too. Thanks, epic.

 

[Chaotic Lulz3r]

It does have a friends list... or so I hear .

 

[Dodo1610]

Gamepass.

 

[sser]

Humble Monthly Bundle of course.

 

[santino27]

Poll needs a kingcomrade option and a 'lol no' option.

 

[Urthor]

Now is the time to support 12% incline (7% because it's Unreal Engine???) and strike a blow against Gabe Newell's price gouging

 

[BLOBERT]

HUMBLE BUNDLE BRO UNLESS IT IS BEAT THE AVERAGE AND MORE THE 5 DOLLARS

 

[Talby]

I have my copy pre-ordered.

Spoiler

On piratebay.

 

[Lord_Potato]

I keep most of my collection on GoG, so there.

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

the time when Obshitian games were worth playing has passed long ago

 

[luj1]

Not worth pirating, let alone buying.

 

[Wyatt_Derp]

GOG, maybe. This seems like a 'let it marinate for a while' title for me.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

I doubt 98% of potential sales are impacted by people who protest the decision to Epic exclusivity.

It might lose sales of all the casuals who vaguely heard about the game but they don't see it on Steam and then forget about it, maybe.

In the span of ~3 months(announcement -> epic announcement,) the subreddit for Outer Worlds gained 16.5k subscribers.
In the ~7 months since(epic announcement -> today), it gained 8k subscribers.

The epic announcement badly hurt its popularity, it's not even deniable.

It went up from 25k on October 18 to 105k subscribers today. So there's that.

 

[DraQ]

GOG if any.

 

[DemonKing]

Demoed it on my $1 Gamepass trial. Tried with Mouse and Keyboard and controller and definitely preferred keyboard so will probably wait until the price drops to <$20 and buy it then on PC.

 

[Drowed]

I played it using Gamepass because I already had it. But I'll probably end up buying it later in the GOTY/Extended/Final/Enhanced version with all the DLCs, as I did with several games.

 

[Felix]

I will buy it properly once there are mods to turn all these fugly female into anime with Wapanese voice, would make it more tolerable.

 

[Nifft Batuff]

GrOG.

 

[Uncreation]

I'm not even interested enough to pirate it, much less buy it. But i might tell people that i didn't get it cause i don't want to buy it from the Epic game store or something. Maybe then people will think i'm cool.

Youtube. I learned from my 5 year old son that I can just get out a controller and pretend to play a game while watching LPs. Don't have to spend a dime.
