If they were all white I would pay $80.

I'll wait for the anti-marxist DLC before picking it up.

>>718718192 (OP)
It's like they purposely made them unfashionable.

>>718718192 (OP)
Don't worry, it'll be $10 or less in a year from now.

What's with the modern design of "random bullshit with no style or cohesiveness"?

>>718719025
>>718719375
It's set in a derelict colony in outer space where everything is cobbled together and also they culturally never left the 1890s.

>>718719483
Shut the fuck up.

>>718718192 (OP)
You hate Outer Worlds because you’re fucking triggered by anyone with a skin darker than snow, I dislike Outer Worlds because it’s centrist liberal bullshit that’s both aimless in terms of gameplay and contrarian in terms of writing.

Like, one of the followers is named Felix, yeah? His entire shtick is that he’s rebellious and legit hates the corporations, and he grew up with a marxist commune. Then, the game says his marxist hero and father figure is actually a stooge for the corps who do terrorist plots on their behalf. And in the ending slide show, the audience is told that Felix is back to his old crate shuffling job doing the same thing he does every day, no consolation whatsoever, while everyone else got full closure and happy endings. The game takes a very deliberate route to shit on marxists with such vitriol while it goes back to making quirky caricatures of corporations and capitalists.

I doubt this game will be any different. Hell, it might be even worse, considering that Microsoft now owns Obsidian.

>>718718192 (OP)
is it me or does the game designer look like a shady Oblivion character

>>718720565
just you

NONE of them are white? not even one? what the fuck?

>>718721040
The one on the far-right is white. Maybe the one on the left too. Why's it matter?

>>718721040
you’re not white either
chick on far right is white btw

>>718721040
what about the goth chick

Based.

>>718721359
>>718721425
they are not white.

>>718721359
even if all the characters are white, these dipshits still won’t buy the game, not unless their favorite far-right grifter YouTuber told them to do so.

Wasn't that guy also one of the companion in veilguard?

>>718720565
That's Ben Schwartz, he voices Sonic in the movies. He's not actually an Obsidian dev, it was acting.

>>718721040
It takes place in the future when you've finally achieved your goal of making yourself into a brown paradise.

>>718720252
Also The Board in general is just comically awful. They are extremely evil and extremely stupid, and the closest thing they have to a redeeming factor is that they are more stupid than they are evil. Which is fine by itself, it's OK for your villains to just plain suck, but The Board is also a joinable faction. They made a whole alternate main questline just for joining The Board and...why? Outside of blind contrarianism or getting something new out of a replay, I can't imagine anyone wanting to side with The Board because they're so awful. Even if you're a big edgelord who always picks the evil option, they're just too lame to be a power fantasy. Caesar's Legion at least had that.

>>718721508
What are they then? Please tell me the ancestry of this fictional character.

>>718721509
I'm also upset they won't buy the game.

>>718721359
it matters because white people created the internet and devices you just used to post that comment, and they are actively being replaced in every country meaning they no longer have a homeland like every other race has and cherishes
>>718721509
good luck in the dystopian society that you smugly voted for

>>718721874
They are white, the original whites which were brown before yakub created the white devil.

>>718720252
No, it's because the game was bad. The first planet was decent, maybe even good. The rest of the game was complete trash and shit on everything the first planet managed to succeed at. Which wasn't a ton to begin with, but it was something.

>>718722098
Tim Berners-Lee lost his home? That's terrible! I thought he had a house in England, but if he lost it I definitely want to help. Is there a GoFundMe or something? Or will complaining about The Outer Worlds 2 build a house for him?

>>718721040
Thr only white one is a fat girl with goth eyeliner that has bpd. This was written by some fat bitch with bpd so it has to play out like how she is in real life but everyonr thinks she’s hot

>>718722526
So there's a white one.

>4 ugly women

>culturally never left the 1890s
Like Red Dead Redemption 2 where everyone is a modern progressive?

Why are modern obsidian games so reddit in terms of dialogue? Fallout New Vegas and Alpha Protocol weren’t like this.

>>718723535
No, the whole point of the setting is it's not progressive. Gilded Age-era unregulated capitalism never ended.

>>718718192 (OP)
More monstrosities.

Lefties taught me that representation matters. No Whites means no buy. Simple as.

Why do leftist like to pretend whites went extinct already?

The character design in this game and that skyrim knock off they did are both terrible. Everyone looks like generic npcs.

I will sub to 1 month of gamepass to play the cloud version of this at 30fps 720p or whatever it is the cloud versions of xbox games run at.

>>718724028
Why do that to yourself?

Aza is white.

>>718723975
They don't care. Obsidian literally said they are going for "mild success" for all their games and that's how they're going to survive. Being just good enough. Not more, not less.

https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/obsidian-plans-to-make-rpgs-for-100-years-by-not-trying-to-grow-aggressively-expand-our-team-size-or-make-super-profitable-games/

>>718724565
Well I'm not saying they need to have better more expensive graphics. I'm talking more about the design. They look like stock characters from a library or something.

>>718724565
They could make good games with attractive characters instead of planning for mild successes.

>>718724565
that is a wacky ass cope

>>718724780
Pentiment.

>>718724565
Yeah, let's see how Microsoft takes that mild success going forward.

we need a serious discussion on how to remove all these nepotist lefties being re hired into so many studios. You can't tell me anyone would green light this / hire someone who makes characters like this without corruption.

>You hate Outer Worlds because you’re fucking triggered by anyone with a skin darker than snow
true, and i wont be buying it

>>718725776
they were chasing the woke trend and now its dying, problem is games take so long to make now and they're in too deep to change anything
so now were seeing all this in your face diversity bullshit that even redditors are tired of seeing

>>718725776
right leaning people dont go into creative fields. they go into stuff like trades and accountants and lawyers and cops and mechanical engineers and whatnot. functional jobs.

some of the gunplay looks cool idk

i got game pass free for like 2 years thanks to a giveaway
ill play it and beat it probably, bum rush it and with cheats on just to see the ending and lol @ people whoa ctually spend the time to grind a shit game

I don't really see the issue with the male characters.

>>718726552
I dont pursue romance options in most games. If I cant physically stick my dick in it or give it loving kisses, why bother?

>>718726552
I think I'm okay with that. What does far left look like without all the bullshit on? That one is a maybe until I can see more.

Retard logic.

>>718726552
Honestly, a game not having romance doesn't bug me all that much (Metaphor, for instance, didn't have dedicated romance stuff but you could still go on a few informal dates with the female characters) but Outer Worlds was weird in that there was an extended quest chain for helping your asexual gay mechanic party member get a girlfriend but *I* couldn't.

I still don't get the point. Was that a Jsaw decision or was I thinking of his time on New Vegas?

I'm really convinced that all the racist posts on /v/ are just retarded teenagers and people engaging in a classic game of bait and letrolle. The joke was old 10 years ago and it isn't any funnier now.

It's the same gaslighting language they use where their actual meaning is the opposite of their words true meaning. Like when they say "diversity" they actually mean conformity. Where everything is the same and everything is cut from the same Concord aesthetic.

Meanwhile your average Gacha Slop has characters that pop so well that you are almost fooled into playing/buying in just on the visuals alone.

well plenty of fuckers ARE honey potted in, but still you get the gist.

Dev's and the Art team have access to all tech in the universe nad made 5 nigga's awkwardly standing around in Etsy outfits.

>>718725737
didn't he do like 10 playthroughs of the first game? lmao

>>718721791
Leftists cannot make or depict villains that are competent, cool or interesting.

because for them, "Villain" is their socio-political enemy, which have to always, at all times be depicted as incompetent, and dangerous because of it.

they could never say, make a character like Zenos, who is quite literally the Nietzschean Ubermensch who commits genocide and anything else you can think of so he can get his Duel to the death.

>>718723629
its not capitalist, is the deal, everyone in the setting is a legit slave to a Corp and cannot buy products from other companies.

its a hardcore Corpo-Statism, people are paid in fucking company scrip that can only be cashed at said company, how are these fuckers making "profit".

The writers and their idiot fans think this is capitalism. "Late-stage capitalism". So tired of the same shit every time from these writers, none of them are brave or radical, it would take more balls at this point to publish a game that attacked socialism/communism.

Are you telling me diversity doesn't mean everyone is uniformly a mystery meat cultureless mutt?

This is not a critique of Marxism, this is the same shit leftists write every time where you have to be scared of the subversive capitalist boogeyman who could be hiding anywhere. It's an attack on people who are not genuine Marxists.

>flashback to the first big choice in the first couple hours of gameplay
>either helping a poor in buttfuck nowhere community get back on their feet
>or help a woman that solved the famine issues pull a coup
and the big scary twist is that she uses human corpses to make a more abundantly healthy fertilizer for plants, in a game where you’re getting attacked by raiders every 20 feet in some areas.
The games main problem, solved within the starting area

>>718730656
buddy, NO one makes worse antagonists than full on Lefties, Neoliberals are just the next rung of bad.

fucking Dustborn's main villian was AXIOMATIC TRUTH, because it got in the way of everyone's "lived truth", they are so fucking retarded they made objective reality a villain, and somehow made it lame and gay.

Indeed. Instead, each individual white nation has its own culture. A race having so little to their perceived collective legacy that the combined history of every country they're native to can be neatly compacted into one homogenous "black" culture isn't as flattering as you think it is.

>>718731150
Black Culture is killing another nigga on a cruiseliner for chicken nuggets, and another black man screaming WOOORRLL STAAAARRR while filming it.

So, is the entire cast non-white? Can we at least play as a white person? I know in Outer Worlds 1 you had a lot of ethnic women, but I'm pretty sure you had white men in it like the professor and that one annoying dude who can join your crew. I like that the game doesn't force you to add crew members, like in the first game you could just play the entire game solo without recruiting anyone; that's what I did. I say no point in recruiting people and playing with a shitty AI team member.

People made fun of Outer Worlds 1 because of ethnic people/women so it's really no different than the first game. It had DEI writing and woke shit in it.

I get that’s not unrealistic but come on it’s a videogame, have some fun with the concept

>>718731263
I think all these studios have made it PERFECTLY clear they are willing to bankrupt themselves to push the MESSAGE

only big Nigs like EA have soulless money goblins trying to real in the ideologues, and ironically that makes the Soulless Money Gremlins the hero's.

Idealogues that have infested Tech, gaming and Movies have to be wrested out with a fucking crowbar before this stops.

>>718731489
the creator is a ultra leftist Nord, you are wrong.

you WANT it to be satire, because modern day prog-leftism is so insane that you cannot accept that people think that way.

they do, and they want you dead, their only weakness is that they are effeminated losers, if they had a spine we'd already be executed.

Predict the date that the company gets shuttered.

>>718731489
I don’t think we’ll ever know, I saw a scene of that game where one of the companions is genuinely fucking miserable and the main character tries shaming them into being happy only to be confused when screaming at someone that’s incredibly sad only made them more sad
>why didn’t my mind control powers make them happy?
maybe because mind control is a state of suggestion not emotion you dumb bitch

>>718731650
I don't want it, I am just in sheer disbelief that anyone able to function on a basic level can still be that retarded.

>>718731797
its called Progressive Post-Modern Leftism.

read/skim Foucault, as that man is the near sole-originator of modern "Woke" and LGBT shit.

Queer Theory, all of it spawns from his (and other Post-Modern figures, but mostly him) works.

he was a Gay French Jew who molested 12 year old and got AIDS and died, and was adamant about getting rid of the age of consent, and all his ideas premeate left of center thought.

>>718731937
I know most of this, my disbelief is how much of a tactical blunder on their part the game was if it was sincere.

>>718732495
they are incapable of admitting out loud when pushing progressive messaging could be bad.

now read 1984 again, and the Doublethink bit.

Leftists now unironically are all forced to use Doublethink, they can "know and not know" plenty of shit, and they all know they cannot real back the propaganda else they be cut down by each other, they all believe, and don't believe their own propaganda.

>>718731650
You're absolutely right, it's not satire-it’s dogma. These people genuinely believe they’re cleansing the world by turning every bit of media into a sermon. There’s no room for irony or nuance anymore, just ideological purity tests. And the scary part? They actually think they’re the rebels in all this, while enforcing the most corporate approved, government-pandering orthodoxy on the planet. If they had any actual power beyond tweets and HR departments, half the country would be in re-education camps by now.

>>718729643

the dangers is always the future, the next generation can take what they believe, and really fucking enforce it with backbone, the fags we are dealing with are temporarily in charge of Leftism, the torch handoff could be deadly.

which I mean, I welcome, the "Big Fight" of the modern Right and Left has to come to a head and end in mass bloodshed eventually, best bandaid pull sooner rather than later before I'm an old fucking man.

I just wish it didn't have to be this way, I wanted to just work a job and have kids and then die, not be at the epicenter for Globhomo's dreams of killing everyone right of Obama.

This is a much more sensible way to run your company than how Squeenix expects every game they release to be the biggest hit of the year.

>>718719483
Yeah, look at these sloppy losers.

>>718733606
wokeslop is never about actually criticizing capitalism. In fact, arguably, the entire point of its existence is to distract from such thoughts and channel it into something gay and lame.

>>718734257
Square has a mediocre MMO keeping the lights on meanwhile Obsidian is holding on by the fingernails, they used up their “CREATORS OF NEW VEGAS” card on Outer Worlds 1, which was the most 5/10 mediocre game to ever exist. Grounded 2 is the only thing going for them, if OW2 shits the bed they might have to let go of a bunch of staff

>>718732584
It's like the feigned ignorance of the "what does that even mean?" proclamation they love to use when debating an actual tranny on the internet. When everybody knows trannys are some of the most dialed in people on the entire internet to the point where if an ant farts they know about it. It's all gaslighting, lies, manipulation and contextual half truths from these people all twisted to mean the opposite of what is being said while leaving an opening for attack if you try to call them out in it. Because the words they are saying SOUNDS good and right, even though the coded actual meaning of what they are saying is the exact opposite.

>>718734590
>>718734840
I didn't say Obsidian was well run, I said having reasonable expectations is much better than requiring everything to be a massive hit.

>we better hope it sells a fuckton

You can still make a shitty game and/or lose money with either method but one is reasonable and the other is insane.

>>718735210
There is literally no reason for their games to be as jank and ugly as they are in the year of our Lord 2025. It's nothing but diversity poo and low quality virtue instead of actual quality writing, art direction design and gameplay.

Given the resources at their disposal they should be putting out games at a WAY higher bar of quality than what they are putting out.

>The game takes a very deliberate route to shit on marxists with such vitriol
and i thought it was the opposite, buying right now

>>718720252
Wrong. I hate outer worlds because it was utterly bland and only centrist because it was too retarded to take a side.

I'll start this out by saying I'm a stemfag with patents and publications. I fully believed that the reveal would be that the colonists were eating plants designed for industrial processing in the same way that black strap molasses wasn't edible and that the alien meat was all non-digestible.

I thought the punchline was going to be the corpos having EVERYTHING they needed but because no one knew how to build a pressure shift extraction column they just raw dogged a million industrial chemicals from their biomod corn. In short 1 dude at the company actually mattered.

But no. It turns out they just... couldn't... figure it out? Because somehow they have working space ships and novel chemical synthesis but they can't put a fork to their mouth?

It's a terrible development from how well thought out FEV was. You can't have good scifi without basing your entire setting in some FRACTION of reality.

There are professionals with degrees you can pay pennies to do this for you by the way. And if you are an actual name, you could get people to do it for free. But they didn't. Because they didn't give a shit about ANYTHING. Let alone making a point.
