The Outer Worlds Pre-Release Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[rusty_shackleford]

Heh, Avellone's May of Rage thread is quite awkward in hindsight. None of his various wild accusations about embezzlement of funds, poor business practices and bad treatment of workers got taken seriously by the media who usually jump on those kinds of revelations. Then MS acquisition happens and you can bet Microsoft is thoroughly vetting the books and company culture before they decide to buy a company.

it looks as if dude was just immensely butthurt Feargus will get his dream big payout and hoped he will sabotage the MS deal by shitposting on the Codex or something. Lol.

Some people on the codex are MCA fanboys. Some are Sawyer fanboys.
But I think I'm the only Feargus fanboy.

Feargus Urquhart, captain, leader, legend.

It's not the best choice, its Spacer's choice. Is it supposed to be funny or smth?

Yes and no. Since corporate culture has taken over people have more or less become talking billboards as per their contract. As predictable thats already full of cracks though with the moonman presented in the trailer being an example of someone that just rolls down the lines given to him with no emotion.

He actually cracks once (at least as far as we’ve seen in the gameplay footage) when you ask him how it feels under that helmet.

It expresses the culture. People don't make choices based on quality, they choose a brand, a side. Moreover, the side they take is the selling point, rather than the product itself.

Very much like SJWs. Everything is identity. Defend a cause blindly because it shows what side you identify with.

I hope the game manages to exploit those themes, but I have little faith.

Imagine in like just a few years a live action ad with Eder for the new Pillars of Eternity!!!

Yeah, imagine Woedica, Eder and Aloth driving highway to eternity in Toyota Commercial.

Just mod FFXV and replace the charachter models in the car scene at the beginning.

Its actually an interesting idea to turn people into walking ads etc., but with the setting so goofy and characters being silly all the time it just doesn't register. Its like yeah, whatever, he is a character in this goofy world saying goofy things. They should have gone with more moderate Fallout or Arcanum approach to worldbuilding

Eh, don’t get that impression myself. Its far from Borderlands from the recent footage. Your mileage may vary on that though.

This is one of the cringiest dialogues I've seen in a long time:

This is one of the cringiest dialogues I've seen in a long time:

How in the world is that the cringiest dialog you have seen? There's not even a lol random joke in there other than the moment where she pretends to launch you out of the ship. Otherwise its about a defenseless AI accepting you by assigning you the identity of her captain/owner. Which is a pretty decent concept imo.

Any line in Greedfall is way worse.

Unless you are just that good in avoiding shit in which case

The whole dialogue with the ai feels pretty dumb, pretentious, non-sensical, unlogical and force-fed ironic. It's like the quintessence of a millenials humor. And millenials humor is imho very blunt, clumsy and only funny because they think it's deep and sophisticated. I don't like it at all.

Which actually saddens me. I would have liked to have a game with the general concept. But so far everything I have seen leaves me dissappointed...

 

[Fedora Master]

Old World Blues was funnier than... that... and it was already cringeworthy.

It just reeks of "look here its a funny dialogue with a funny computer ai".

Counterpoint: Microsoft bought inXile and Double Fine.

Thread was too busy discussing Taco Bell commercials to notice Ellie's VA is different.

I thought it sounded kinda different but I couldn't quite remember since the last time I heard Ellie was last year.

 

[Alienman]

It's an evolved Cortana from Windows 25.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Been a while since I was interested in this game. Anything worth looking at or not at all?

Gamespot and giant bomb gameplays have some neat side quests. Multiple options , decent written dialogue and even companions that change how a quest play out ala New Vegas.

Guys if you enjoy c

They look like trailer trash men not even girls. As I said before this game will have amy schumer level of humor.
