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

[Riddler]

In the time-honored tradition, our resident Bulgarian speedrunner will beat the game on story mode on the first day, then rage at developers for ripping him off, even though he played on pirate copy.

Maxmaxing on story mode, it's the Bulgarian way!

Interesting retweets from her:
"Heard of a cool tech-bro-weeding interview technique the other day. A male and female engineer conduct the interview session together. If, when the female engineer asks the candidate a question, he directs his answer to the male engineer,then he's out.They said it happens a lot"

Right, as everyone knows, a prominent feature of competent engineers and programmers is their ability to look women in the eyes.

It's clearly more imaginative and better paced that ME:A. If you want to stretch the parallel while still being somewhat fair, ME:A with less suck and more zany.

You are legitimately retarded if you think this game is going to be better than ME:A.

Don't believe me? It's all in the numbers number 1.

Spoiler

Dear god, if I wasn't completely disenchanted with obsidian, that would be pretty

Funny to note if you look at the characters from PoE1 Carrie Patel wrote all the bad ones. Any game that creature has worked on turns to poo.

Somebody tell me if it runs on Linux.

Doesn't have to. Linux isn't going anywhere.

 

[razvedchiki]

gave in and bought the game pass,when it will be available for europe?

I'd rather have a root canal than be forced to play through all of ME:A. I don't think this will have much trouble clearing that bar.

No preload on EGS?

 

[just]

you don't have to ask this kind of questions anymore
it just works

 

[Duraframe300]

If you want pre-load on EGS you literary have to program it yourself.

Not kidding. Gearbox had to do it.

 

[razvedchiki]

so
what about dem gameplay?

 

[Shadenuat]

first big quest looks incredibly one sided. they didn't even try to make corp man any attractive, at least he could have given player loads of cash upfront with promises for more, but he's just pathetic. meanwhile other choice is kind womyn of the kind forest.

 

[Duraframe300]

New Zealandian console Players get to play in 40 minutes. (Also everyone who changes region settings on console)

Why should I decide on attractivness of male npc? Also he has the better point. If they stay, the whole community goes down and he's offering amnesty as well.

How is that one sided? After watching the stream I've aleady decided to help him.

Also that quest has additional different branches depending on which way you go down (According to that GameRevolution? discussion).

(I don't even think he looks bad. Bowlheads are cool)

 

[GewuerzKahn]

You should've formulated that better, mein Freund. It is not the language in itself which you dislike, but (low quality) German dubs.

No, I still dislike German. It's just another topic.

ME:A with less suck and more zany.

ME:A had the worst "witty" humor.

 

[Shadenuat]

yes, the branching being you can remove corp man for the kind granny anyway - so player wouldn't feel bad about their choice.

pretty awful and simplistic black and white quests so far.

 

[ArchAngel]

I spent a few hours watching Cohh play it yesterday, I think I chuckled 2 times in total during conversation. Outside of that the game looked boring.

 

[Shadenuat]

It can be amusing, but the corporate joke gets old quickly.

and since it's ingrained into game bioshock/f3 style it would probably be very tiresome eventually

 

[ArchAngel]

But from what I have seen this is nowhere close to quality of Fallout 1 and 2.

No, it isn't.

Give me one actual reason for removing corp man. He's not MUAHAHHA evil in the slightest, as I said offers full, amnesty and just wants to get the community back on track.
The worst thing he does is forcing the issue. And sometimes you have to when you're in a stalemate.

He keeps that promise fully btw. if you help him (or do respective choices).

I watched Angry Joe stream. He decided to help Reed , took the energy from the deserters , then later after doing all the quests for deserts talked to their leaders so her could take control over Edgewater, either by killing or talk down Reed.

The game present a more emotinal argument for the deserts. And more rational for the Reed.
It's better for the deserts to return to Town because certainly not everyone is okay not having a job and safety.

Reed isn't evil , he just really believes that he's doing is right.

 

[Shadenuat]

and that's what 99% of players would do.

What an amazing platform.

 

[Reinhardt]

missed the hype train of one of the codex's most anticipated releases of 2019

You lost nothing.

 

[Duraframe300]

and that's what 99% of players would do.

Doesn't change the fact that it's not black and white. And 99% plays the YUHU rebel anyway. How's that an argument?

How many do you think helped Gizmo in Fallout 1? And that was much more black and white.
