YEAH, I'M THINKING OBSIDIAN'S BACK

https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/the-outer-worlds-2-review/

HOLY FUARK
I JUST PRE-ORDERED

nah

>>724047869 (OP)
all reviews are literally
>yeah it's alright

I don't believe you
>Significantly more competent combat
Cool
>Irresistible RPG grind
I don't believe you
>Memorable companions
I don't believe you
>Weak first act
KWAB the fuck is Obsidian doing?
>Some truly terrible enemy variety
Yeah, not surprising
>Giggled at absurd worldbuilding
Reddit
>More prominent than the new planets to explore, though, is the distinct shift in tone. While there's still plenty of goofy jokes and ways to make your trek through corporate-owned space completely absurd, this sequel is much more interested in telling a grounded story. One that focuses squarely on the politics of the setting's various factions and repeatedly forces you to make judgement calls on which of these deeply flawed organizations is the lesser evil
I don't believe you
>When the Outer Worlds 2 is putting the political jockeying front and center, it's sick as hell, and without question has some of the coolest world building and satisfyingly perilous moral dilemmas I've seen in some time
I don't believe you
>But it takes its sweet time getting there, mostly focusing on this conflict in its second half
KWAB

>>724047869 (OP)
OMG OMG OMG IT SURPASSES ITS PREDECESSOR!
So in other words it's gone from preachy garbage to being merely alright I guess. Kek, not interested you retarded shill. I'll be here playing good videogames, not your whiny commie propaganda sold by a corporation for $80 plus tip.

>For the first half of the story you'll instead prioritize a humdrum revenge quest I cared about so little that I actually forgot it was even the first act's main focus by the time I reached the credits
KWAB
>If you skip through a lot of dialogue, you'll be offered the "Foot in Mouth Syndrome" flaw, which gives you bonus XP, but forces you to choose all your dialogue options under a very short time limit before choosing an option or you randomly
Ok, this is pretty funny, actually. Not gonna lie.
>While the first Outer Worlds was mostly passable when it came to combat, this sequel manages to level up to generally enjoyable
This doesn't sound all that good, to be honest
>I found so many weird and unexpected weapons with unique effects, like a stealthy shotgun that fires shots completely silently and instantly melts its targets so bodies can't be found
Cool
>The six mostly memorable characters you befriend and travel alongside each stand as a representative of the respective organization from which they hail. For example, Tristan, a heavily armored brute, serves as the group's cop, eager to carry out his authoritarian government's twisted form of justice on pretty much anyone you meet, while Inez, an entrepreneurial combat medic, is constantly reminding you of the virtues of the so called free market enterprises she grew up with
Sounds boring and they look ugly
>Once its story of political intrigue kicks in and the new flaws and perk system gets its claws in you, it can be quite hard to put down. All these improvements put the Outer Worlds 2 that much closer to being the New Vegas successor we hoped this series would be, and that's worth getting excited for
kek so the best thing this review can say is that I should wait for an Outer Worlds 3 that will never come cause this shit is flopping. Cheers

wokeGODS we feastin

>not 100 biilion gazillion score
its joever

I actually liked the first game alright since there's a decent amount of choice. This game seems way more fucking lame though, the asexual bitch was already annoying

>>724047869 (OP)
is that spider-man?

>>724048209
This game unironically looks much better than the first. Having said that, I'll play neither.

>surpasses its predecessor

Not a high bar. I played the first game. It felt like the bargain bin version of New Vegas. Cheap and sloppy.

>>724047869 (OP)
>pcgaymer

>>724048257
how does it look better? I assume they added even more tranny nonsense

>>724047869 (OP)
Yeah, I'm thinking I'm not touching an Obshittian game.

>>724048426
Actual good and interesting weapons and even though they're all trannies and browns, they're more serious and less silly, so the game doesn't play entirely like a parody. Aside from that, it's the exact same shit as Outer Worlds 1.

lol

I saw too many browns in the trailer

>>724048491
>ugly women
>browns
That's another skip from me. I can already tell exactly what this game is like.

>>724048491
Yeah, that's going to be a pass from me big dawg.

>>724048487
>they're more serious and less silly, so the game doesn't play entirely like a parody
When everybody is a tranny, that's a bad thing. They're supposed to be ridiculous. Making them serious is giving them validation.

>>724048487
The wacky rick and morty writing didn't particularly offend me last time, there was still enough serious content in the game. Really, the professor was the biggest part of it and you can just kill that faggot anyway. That's some I'll say, you can kill everyone more or less, just like in NV. Too bad it doesn't even affect the ending.

Honestly, it's a goddamn miracle Obsidian was even able to make New Vegas THAT good.

Every Video Game Journalist should be forced to post a picture of themselves along with the review

outer worlds 1 was garbage, only retards would be excited for this

>>724048491
and then they wonder why shit keeps bombing lmao. You can keep your nigger and tranny filled propaganda slop

>>724048651
I had enough fun with it to finish it, even though it had the odd tranny and brown in it. This seems so much fucking worse.

>>724047869 (OP)
They gave that game a sequel? Sci-fi sucks in general anyway.

>>724048491
I played Avowed which actually turned out to be alot of fun. I don't know why Obsidian sabotage their games by not including sexy white people you can romance.

>>724048791
ideological reasons. I'll never give those faggots money.

Is the world still a bunch of small square areas and every single thing on the map is just part of the quests you collect in town?

>>724048650
tbf looks like the type of guy I want reviewing games

>>724048791
>Obsidian insisted Avowed didn't have romance
>Secretly add a faggot romance exclusively
>No romanceable women though because that's objectification
Unbelievable

>>724047869 (OP)
>83
That's a heavy 95% GOTY edition discount at BEST.

>>724048491
Can't believe they're still fully onboard with woke culture.
Even EA had the sense to just abandon hyenas.

>>724049012
>Madeline books on shelf
>looks like the type of guy I want
I bet you do cupcake

>not even 90%
holy sloppa

Hard pass

>>724047869 (OP)
Buy an ad, faggot

>>724049034
who was the faggot romance in avowed?

>>724049148
Obsidian is owned by Microsoft. Remember this and everything wrong with the games starts to make sense.

>>724048491
This is the worst of both worlds. Isn't the setting a corpo hellscape? Why does all the gear look so lame? You would think a universe where companies are vying for customers on a galactic scale they would make aesthetically pleasing to entice them to hop on the hamster wheel. Doubly so for companions like what the fuck is this shit?

>>724049148
>Can't believe they're still fully onboard with woke culture.
Why wouldn't they be? They've never faced any financial consequences for it. Microsoft still throws momey at them. End of the day they're all still rich coastal elite nepobabies getting paid to masturbate their gigglesquee polycule fanfics out onto a digital page. If they ever do get laid off they'll just be rehired and put in charge of Baldur's Gate 4 (look at Veilguard's director). It's a cult. The funniest thing is, through all of this, they still pretend to be poor, oppressed starving artists kept down by The Man.

The gay fish

>>724047869 (OP)
they really need this to make money huh
thats too bad

>>724047869 (OP)
Is this on gamepass? Worth trying if so maybe

So based on the review, the gameplay is actually good? But gameplay suddenly doesn't matter to this board.

>>724050284
Despite their history of being paid shills with special olympics tier motor skills, you're going to trust PC Gamer's opinion about gameplay?
Are you enough of a lobotomized consumerist faggot to trust IGN and Polygon as well?

>>724048015
That sounds like a pretty good game then

>>724048209
The choices in the first game were kinda ass anyway. By the xth time you go through the "man bad, woman competent and smart" thing you kinda get bored of that shit. The one thing I can give it credit for is that you can unga bunga murderhobo everything in the game except for like two characters.

>>724052046
Yeah, I also gave it credit for being able to kill everyone. Though again, it barely changes anything for the ending. There's no true genocide run here.

I'm not playing basedlennial wokeshit

does it still have that ridiculous le capitalism bad writing

a woke game gets good score from tranny reviewers? waow

>>724052272
>does it still have its only trace of identity besides being bad and unfunny
Gonna have to consult the fact checkers for that one.

>>724048080
>negative comment
>"KEEEEK I knew it was bad!"
>positive comment
>"I don't believe you"
I hope you aren't being sincere

>>724047869 (OP)
The first games story was mid as fuck and the combat was was basically shitter FO4 lmao. It was fun but not great. They really are trying to hype this game up huh

>>724052213
You will.

timmy wiill give away this game in 6 months

>>724048791
Agreed on all your points

>>724049034
>>724049483
If the gay fish counts as romance, then so does the skeleton woman

>>724048491
Someone has GOT to teach Obsidian how to do long hair in their games.

Is this creature in the game?

>>724047869 (OP)
I'll pay $80 + 33% tip and will gladly give my life for Israel.

>even the dick-sucking reviewers universally point out that companions are fucking dog shit
heh

>>724048650
He/she has boobs. Is this a transgender or what? Estrogen in the water supply? The next stage in human evolution?

Torrent already?
