BobbyPhil1781 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) I posted this in the FO76 thread but didn't want to hijack it further and probably should've just started this last night, but whatever. I've never played NV or the OG Fallout or even Borderlands but this looks like it's going to be a solid game! Trailer: Their Steam page has some AWESOME screenshots!! https://store.steampowered.com/app/578650/The_Outer_Worlds/ NPCs, companions, kinda open world, player-driver story...... this looks pretty badass!! I'm not familiar w/ Obsidian but there are a lot of people who are seemingly pretty pumped about this.The fact it'll be available in 2019 also makes it even more appealing.

skywindO2 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Bethesda about to switch all development focus to ES6 because I don't think they could possibly compete in the in the sci-fi RPG genre with this around the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animaltested Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Bethesda has never had true competition on the Elder Scrolls or Fallout. TBH, this game doesn't seem to be competing either. Seems like it will be a quirky Deus Ex. Not necessarily a bad thing. Does anyone remember Obsidians last attempt at this; Alpha Protocol? Of course no one does. And that's why Im pretty lukewarm on this title. Edited December 7, 2018 by animaltested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmad Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Kinda surprised this isn't an Xbox title given Microsoft owns them now but whatever. Could be a fun game, I love obsidian but a game always looks good. How it actually plays we shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably had negotiated with Sony prior in order to get the necessary funding for development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animaltested Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Also, did any one notice the framerate issues in the demo? Like with FO76, if you are having framerate issues running the game from an ideal set up on hardware you are probably designing the game from, it is not a good sign performance wise. With how broken FONV was on launch [and is to this day], and how buggy Alpha Protocol was, I am not giving obsidian any benefit of the doubt.

BobbyPhil1781 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 This looks fun! https://www.denofgeek.com/us/games/outer-worlds/277907/the-outer-worlds-trailer-release-date Watching them play the demo is appealing to me also b/c they dont' seem to take it too seriously. I'm hoping the game is polished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXsteeler Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 This game looks like it has potential to be really good, but lacks to potential to fail due to the corporation behind it (think Anthem). Wonder if it will be as good as it looks on launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyPhil1781 Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 "It feels like an upgraded FO New Vegas" Still looks better and better w/ everything I see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywindO2 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) Getting almost unanimously positive reviews, who's picking it up on release? I have a very busy November so probably going to pass on it at first but will get it sometime before Christmas I bet. Might hold out for a small chance at a Thanksgiving sale on the Epic store. A lot of the reviews I've read have mentioned a lack of bugs. They're twisting the dagger in Bethesda's heart. RIP Fallout.

I just got God of War so I'm going to play through that but hopefully I can get this and get through it prior to tLoU2 coming out in February. Cohh is playing this on Twitch right now so I'm going to not be productive at work. So far, it looks like Fallout marrying Borderlands and I'm not sad about it. A lot of quirky humor in the little bit I've seen so far also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyPhil1781 Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 LOL This game is sooo Fallout. I think it's a sure pickup after watching it thus far. Looks great, game play looks awesome, good RPG elements. Can't wait to see how long completionist timings are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animaltested Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Want to buy, but I don't wanna give Epic my spacebucks. Anybody buy and download direct from the Microsoft store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I'm definitely going to sign up for the $1 Game Pass trial to check this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
