For a game where the message is that capitalism is evil... Boy, they sure never looked in the mirror even once. Anyone that supports Microsoft in any capacity needs to kill themselves.

You for reposting the Ana e thread because you’re most likely annoyed the last one died after like 26 posts. You’re probably spamming douche sawyer threads as well

fippo beppo

they seem to be going the borderlands route in giving up on making a good game and just a meme-y cuhrazay BAD ASS game.

>>723368590
This, let's close the thread, op got his answer

>>723368429 (OP)
I'm demonstrating solidarity in opposing capitalism by not buying the game.

>>723368429 (OP)
Would have sworn it already came out (and flopped)
Oh well, I'm still having a laugh over the last woke slop that flopped (Yotoi, and shadows before that, and avowed before that, etc)

Despite its Reddit status, I think Outer World's message is a valid one and a mirror for things to come if corporations are left unfettered and continue to fuel our dystopian like future.

>>723371347
Retard.

>>723371347
Cyberpunk has like the same message and is an actual good game unlike this slop

>>723371347
if only the game that they made to convey that message was dull as a doornail

Play the first game. Do that pajeeta engineer's personal quest and tell me you think the game deserved a sequel

>>723368429 (OP)
I really liked the original game but /v/ told me I was wrong and really didnt. Only brown chick Ive ever wanted to fuck.

>>723371347
"Da corpos" are not in the slightest bit unfettered. They're completely shackled by anti-meritocratic civil rights and environmental regulations guaranteed by the force of law.

>>723369223
Did you know they sold 20 million coppies? I had no idea such a shit game printed money.

>>723371579
>I was unaware that all the fun I was having was just pretend
Unironically. Realizing that there are right and wrong ways to have fun is the first step towards developing taste.

>>723368429 (OP)
Avowed but also nobody cared about the first one.

I'm not down for another 20 hours of sneaking sniper rifle headshots

ohmmm...

>>723368429 (OP)
I'm an anti-anti-capitalist so I shan't be buying.

>>723368429 (OP)
but I am hyped

>>723368590
It wasn't even that bad, it was just a space version of Idiocracy. It had a distinct enough aesthetic (world and equipment, not characters) that it spawned some failed copycat games. The sequel fucked it up by overdesigning all faction uniforms so much that they ended up looking identical.

>>723368429 (OP)
No one cares becuase everything Obsidian has put out since New Vegas was ass
>Pillars 1: BG2 clone that would've been forgotten had it come out in the early 2000s
>Tyranny: Ditto, but worse
>Pillars 2: Ditto, but EVEN WORSE
>Grounded: Friendslop coop game no one cared about
>Outer Worlds 1: Borderlands the massively watered down edition
>Avowed: We wanted to make Skyrim, but failed miserably.

>>723372418
I dont think they are bad, just weirdly, painfully, mid. Except Tyranny, that was bad.

>>723372124
>It wasn't even that bad
Here's a fun game to play.
>In a galaxy ruled by corporations, the crew of a spaceship which includes a folksy mechanic with insecurities about her femininity and a preacher with a mysterious past, have adventures in a retrofuturist sci-fi western with twangy guitar music playing in the background; they ultimately discover that the bloodthirsty enemies you've been fighting were the result of a botched experiment that the corporations later tried to cover up.
Now, did I just describe The Outer Worlds, or Firefly?

>>723368590
kek fpbp

I'm just not interested in a Fallout game with no VATS and that's exactly what this is, just even gayer. Also I think there's no gore whatsoever. You just hit stuff and they fall over. I tried the melee too and it was equally unsatisfying.

>>723371602
You are so goddamned retarded it hurts (literally, your retardation actively hurts the world)

>>723372418
>>723372689
no one seems to realize that obsidian is a dreadfully mediocre company that can only produce 5/10s on a good day
fallout new vegas would be nothing without the underlying gamebryo systems that bethesda made, obsidian made none of the technology in the game and only the coating on top but people put obsidian on a golden pedestal despite having never played any of their games apart from FNV

latest trailer https://youtu.be/fIRmQlRhN-E?si=TBbpHDzhSQfm1Ixu looks good.

>>723371347
You'd only think this if you have never watched a film before

>>723373245
They were given the source code and all FO3 assets, they had the old documentation of Van Buren too. All they had to do was create a conversion mod, which was doable with a full sized studio that wasn't made up of amateur trooned out modders. And yet people keep endlessly excusing them, that they weren't given enough time, when Sawyer admitted that the project was mismanaged and they wasted weeks to months on stuff like bullet counted reload.

>>723371347
Man if only this message was expounded upon by a hundred sci-fi artists 50 years ago except not shit & reddit

The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch is miles better than this game as far as "corporate espionage in space on company towns" goes and it's one of Dick's weakest novels.

All of the combat was nothing indistinguishable from Skyrim and the reputation system was unbelievably barebones.

overpriced at first

Also Xbox charging more for game pass

>>723368590
fpbp

>>723373394
Looks like shit to me. Gunplay is ass. No VATS, enemies barely interact when you shoot them unless you're using one of the science thing that sends them on a big wacky ragdoll (literally the only fun weapon type in the game), no radio, just a bunch of DEI shit everywhere and commie writing.

>>723368429 (OP)
Outer Worlds 1 is one of the ugliest games of the past decade. Looks like a browny purple smear is always over the screen

>>723371347
Nobody disagrees that unchecked corporatism (Not capitalism btw) is horrible, it's just that the Outer Worlds had absolute garbage writing and didn't even manage to discuss these themes in an interesting way.

fpbp
I played maybe 5 hours of outer worlds, here's what I got out of it
>2 factions each want a power cell to fulfill their goals
>manage to get 2 power cells through powergaming
>can only deliver one, forcing me into a faction choice between two equal dickheads who I don't like
I had mild gripes at the sheer railroading at this point, but the next fucking section
>get to space station
>"sir you can leave until you get railroaded"
>try to use my skills to get out of this
>nothing works
>only way out is to kill everyone on the station
>accidentally progress the quest somehow anyway

Ah fuck em, bad game, I'd rather listen to Boone bitch about his wife or retards tell me they got science jobs because of a "theoretical degree in physics"

>>723373835
Are there zesty Klingons now?

>>723373970

>>723374073
It's worse than you think

>>723374145
Tell me that's a Jem'Hadar as retarded as that sounds and not a Klingon, please say sike.

>>723368590
This. It was just a boring, uninspired game. I'm surprised it made enough money to even get a sequel. Shit, TOW1 is the only game I've been assed to pirate in like 15 years, but I could not be assed to finish it.

>>723374398
Truth is always gayer than fiction these days. It's both.

SHE is a Klingon/Jem'Hadar hybrid. Jem'Hadar are not sexless male-only enforcers now, chud! Now they're... fat! and in Starfleet!

>>723374794
>SHE is a Klingon/Jem'Hadar hybrid.

>>723374998
The good news is the new show looks so fucking shit that we are definitely getting another RLM video about it

>>723368429 (OP)
I agree with Obsidian that corporations bad, so I'm doing my part by not giving them money or attention.

>>723368429 (OP)
The first game had potential, but was honestly pretty boring.

>>723375053
Good. They must suffer by proxy.

>>723375053
Can't wait

>>723372689
Isn’t Tyranny like a cult classic now?

>>723371689
>nobody cared about the first one
It was hyped as Bethesda killer that would put final nail in the Fallout coffin but was quietly and embarrassingly forgotten a week after release.

>>723373908

good thing i wasn't trying to argue with you, i was trying to call you a retard

retard

>ugly dyke millennial character designs
Not playing a game looking at ugly freaks. Don't need to weigh any other aspect of the product, it's not pleasant to look at.

>>723378137

And failing miserably. Anyone observing the reply chain can freely see you're an anti-intellectual no-argument idiot.

>>723371347
Games are supposed to be fun first, everything else second. If you don't know/care about making gameplay fun, make a visual novel instead. Or make a movie.

>>723379652
>Games are supposed to be fun first
Says who? Some hedonistic retard?

>>723368429 (OP)
You have to understand, chuddie. They did the ultimate sacrifice, they dropped their 80 dollar pricetag down to 70, they can't afford shil- I mean marketing campaigns, I mean pure organic threads to talk about this piece of shit.

Starting at $40 would've been a power move and possibly guaranteed more sales.

>>723379429
Did... did you actually intentionally type the word "onions?" Are you fucking kidding? Because the alternative is that you typed the nonobean word and it got filtered, which would be even fucking stupider, because that word looks and sounds nothing like "outer."

>>723372418
>modern BioWare is so fucking bad it makes obsidians content post F:NV look decent
I don’t think it’s that the games are great it’s that the other AAA (lol) competition is stale

>>723380013
Most reddit post I've read in a while

>>723372124
>It wasn't even that bad
it was fucking awful nigger. the guns were shit, the skills were shit, the combat was shit, the companions were rancid dogshit, the quests were majority shit, the story was dogshit.
the only positive aspect i can think of were some of the planets being moderately visually interesting, and there is no way that alone can carry a steaming turd.

>>723368429 (OP)
first game didn't do well and is only remembered for the commercial/trailer, flying into the sun and being confused for outer wilds
2nd game was $80 and all the companions are fat black amputees

>>723371347
you do realize the reason everything is so gay is because the world's biggest bank controls half of all public employee pensions and uses it to push dei

>>723373520
i dunno, i appreciated that and found it stupid fo4 was leaning even more into shooter mechanics but didnt have weapon holstering or counting fucking bullets. the project was definitely mismanaged though but its a damn good game despite everything

I'll always respect Microsoft for lowering the price of Outer Worlds 2. It's stuff like this that shows Microsoft still care about gamers and the consumer

>>723379897
That's the main problem with Obsidian games. It's not that they are terrible games. They simply don't match the pricetag. They charge AAA prices for games that should be charged as indies. Most people wouldn't be angry with Outer Worlds or Avowed if they paid 20$ for them.

i love to generate hilarious memes about the outer worlds 2 on bing dalle 3 microsoft image generation

>>723382616
Not in the world where Silksong was $20. OW and Avowed wouldn't worth your time if they were free. They are simply mind numbingly mediocre and boring

>>723371347
Thanks for posting that image, that way I know not to read your (probably) dogshit opinion despite the (you)s

Isnt Outer Worlds that game where the only semi-attractive female companion in the game is asexual so you can't romance them.

>>723368429 (OP)
It’s insane to me that Tim Cain, Leonard Boyarsky, Chris Avellone, and Josh Sawyer almost all worked at obsidian at the same time between 2011 and 2016. Imagine if they actually all worked together on a game

>>723382689
I'm not trying to compare Avowed with Silksong, that's disingenuous. Let's compare it with Outward, a game that goes on sale for 5$ usually. You would forgive the jank and the bugs, while you would appreciate the good moments way more in a game like Outward. Meanwhile in Avowed your standards are set higher since the game costs 70$. Every bug hurts your pride more, every cheaply written dialogue feels more insulting, every unpolished mechanic makes you regret not refunding it on time.

Hoping they cut it out with all the "literally everyone smart / in power is female and literally every dumbass (minus Welles) is male and gets everyone killed" shit though.
Hahaaaa.... well, a man can dream.

>>723371347
>>723371409
What?
What "message"?
A bunch of retards are in charge because everyone with half a brain is lost in space due to bad luck/timing/etc. (Though it is kinda dumb that you play as a nobody despite being from the "smart" ship.)
Nobody's dying due to "capitalism" or overbearing bosses (outside of the drugs, but you know) like Reddit r/antiwork says, everyone's dying because you can't grow shit and 99.99% of all food in the solar system is inedible to humans.
Even the "hurr durr, plant need fertilizer me smart" thing isn't even a regular fertilizer issue, it's because Earth plants need the same Earth nutrients as people do, and using people as fertilizer can (temporarily) fuel the gardens for a while.

>>723383019
Her entire existence in the game, her motivations, her plot, her character arc is 100% to be a self-insert for a lesbian writer on the team (no lie), so Parvati's loyalty quest is a game-spanning money sink with the most dialogue all to get her into the pants of a mechanic woman she met literally once for like 5 minutes.
Pretty sure the money spending is optional, but man, you go all across the solar system just collecting shit for her. Her mission has tons of dialogue, tons of options, you travel everywhere, you do a bunch of shit, whereas the loyalty missions for everyone else is just "go here, fight generic mooks, get item, go there, maybe kill a few more random generic mooks, talk for like 2 minutes max, done"

>>723383410
God, I love Outward. One of these days I gotta actually finish a fucking plot instead of getting halfway through the game and then running off to go do random shit instead.

>>723373085
>In a galaxy ruled by corporations
Outer Worlds. The Alliance rules in Firefly, not any corporations.
>a folksy mechanic with insecurities about her femininity
definitely not Firefly, Kaylee is VERY secure about her femininity
I don't think it works with Outer Worlds since the mechanic is an asexual lesbian (figure that one out) but I could be a bit wrong on that since I only played it once and it was garbage
>a preacher with a mysterious past
If this was in Outer Worlds I can't remember it at all, which goes to show how shitty the characters were
