Denial is strong in this one

Indeed , your denial is impressive.

No hard feelings bro, its all for fun

 

[Duraframe300]

So, it seems to average out at 85-86. Wasn't too far off, better than expected.

Metacritic is at 82 for PC, 86 for Consoles, but they are missing a shitload of reviews.

nothing can bring the codex together like an obsidian game.

[Wulfric Pinewood]

Did Le Monde review it yet? How am I supposed to know what to think about it if Le Monde hasn't reviewed it?

Le Monde, do you think about a press title from country where oldest thing after Notre Damme burned to the ground is Macron wife? Oui, oui?

"Critically, The Outer Worlds exhibits the same depth of soul as the early Interplay and Black Isle Fallout games..." -Gamespot

 

[Hellion]

From the Kotaku review:

Halcyon being called a colony certainly made me bristle at times, though conveniently, there are no sentient races that the colonizers have displaced. In The Outer Worlds, all social problems are filtered through class. Sexism and racism don’t meaningfully exist even though race does; many of the people you meet across classes are black and brown. Race and gender go essentially unacknowledged from the game’s core narrative to its tongue-in-cheek riffs on PR buzzwords, which was frustrating in a game so deeply embroiled in power dynamics. In our world, class and race are inexorably tied, and a world in which questions of class are more eternal than questions of race strikes me as dishonest. I trust in Obsidian to broach those issues with the same grace as they do issues of class, so I wish they had gone there.

ffs

 

[Quillon]

So the 6th companion is that robot called SAM? (in the gamespot review vid)

 

[biggestboss]

I’m way too susceptible to peer pressure. Just bought the game full price on Microsoft Store.

 

[jf8350143]

Apparently the game is pretty bug free.

Also one of the review says the loading time is very short on PS4 pro, and didn't increase as the game goes on, which is great news.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Three things are certain in life: death, taxes, and Awesome Button furiously scrolling through 70 reviews to find the one with lowest score just so he can say "I told you so".

Taking any mainstream reviews seriously, positive or negative. You are prime retard material

[IHaveHugeNick]

So it was supposed to be a game with blatant SJW-agenda, but apparently it's exclusively radical leftists who don't like it.

I am so confused right now. :D

That should have already been obvious when Boyarsky and others refused to say anything about the game being political and made SomethingAwful mad, but LESBIAN FACES!

They NEED racism.

They have become so hot-wired to look for it in everything, they actually miss it when it is gone

Waiting for some angry Vegan to comment on the Cystpig bacon harvesting.
