Anno posted:Yeah that better be a massive discount if you own everything. It looks like a nice remaster, especially with actual gameplay changes, so sure like $5 or something maybe. But seems like a mistake for it not to be a free upgrade for people who own everything already. $10 on pc if you own everything

This isn't that good of a game and a "remaster" of a two-year old game is an absolute cash grab.

orcane posted:I originally played the base game on PS4 but never bought the game + DLC edition on PC because, as usual with 2K titles, the sale price has been stuck for years (around $45 for the package, I think?). I wonder what the full price is going to be, with today's convenient ~inflation~ excuse. I enjoyed Murder on Eridanos. It's like a whodunnit murder mystery about the murder of a renowned actress. You have to investigate various suspects and look for clues (but there's still things to shoot). Definitely has better writing than the rest of the game. I don't remember much of Peril of Gorgon other than it being more of the same.

IIRC the game sort of ended on a cliffhanger (oops we lost contact to Earth), did any of the DLC continue the main plot from there or are they all self-contained?

The two DLC's are just new side quests on new planets/areas that also raise the level cap. They take around 6-10 hours each to complete. I remember having to load a save before the point-of-no-return to play both of them so yeah they aren't a continuation of the main plot.

Despite the hate on these forums, OW was a massive success. There's not a ton of chance the sequel will be a lot better but at best it's not worse and they fix the combat so it's at least either strictly Fallout 3 VATS style or Borderlands style, not some weird mash-up. Also I want to say the "Where's Earth?" ending plot hook was done 100x better in Techromancer.

Hell, the DragonBall Z fighting game outsold it by a significant margin. Ghost of Tsushima had a lifetime sales number twice as high and even that wasn't a Big Bethesda Game.

Honestly, Outer Worlds, at launch, had perfectly good graphics, textures, and all that part. The engine and art direction wasn't the issue.

When it first came out, OW released on the previous generation of consoles. This is them releasing it for current gen and upscaling it a little, because why not. You goofballs.

I think that’s just not the majority opinion. People by and large really liked the game and would love to see better graphics on their new console. And apparently they took some time to do some gameplay changes to boot.

It ended up being aggressively mediocre, but ultimately I still enjoyed playing it. Hopefully they manage to shore up its weak points in the sequel.

I didn't mind the levels I had with it but they really need to do a balancing pass over it if they decide to go for a sequel. The game basically ended for me when I picked up a mk 2 version of the basic assault rifle and my damage output instantly tripled, which made every combat encounter entirely trivial. The story was shallow and very Baby's First Corporate Autocracy but for the grand price of Free on the game pass who cares

Yeah, surprised to see all the hate in here. I just thought it felt really small, like they tried to make a Fallout game but only had the budget for 1/4 of the size. I really liked it, the setting was a lot of fun, I just wanted them to do more with it in basically every direction. Glad to hear they're remastering it, I never went back to play the DLC so I will probably pick it up. Was even hoping to hear Outer Worlds 2 talk when I saw this thread on the front page. BTW, I thought the twist at the end was more that everyone's gonna starve to death because the food is missing some of the nutrients we need which is only a problem because they can't call Earth to get more of the real stuff.

There are a few people that really love it, but while reviews gave it very high reviews the general consensus was pretty much a shrug. “It’s ok” isn’t a very hot take though… Rereleasing on the new consoles makes sense, but charging for something like this on PC is very rare.

Even without the "this is the return of true fallout, baby" marketing, after a string of great obsidian games that each offered a lot of substance, people just expected... more. It had a distinctly "indie studio's first game" feel.

This update feels like a missed opportunity. Game could've used a pass adding minutiae/secrets and lil' sidequests to fill in the largely empty world. I enjoyed most of my time with the game but definitely felt its lack of superfluous shenanigans. That wasn't my biggest qualm but probably the only one that wouldn't require rethinking certain fundamental design choices.

It felt to me like they had been planning a few 'polish' passes but it got shoved out the door too early. Like, when I first arrived on the Groundbreaker, I wandered around for ten minutes trying to get out of the docking bay. Turns out the door you have to click looks so much like a wall I though it was a wall. Sooner or later a beta tester would have gotten stuck and said "hey make that door look like a door ok?" Maybe with lighting or a sign or a welcome mat, or maybe just have NPCs be able to open it.

I played it a few months back, and overall, I thought it was a fun distraction, I definitely didn't feel as if I wasted my time. The combat got terribly repetitive, and I was jonesing on finishing it in the final hours. For me, the ending was going to determine how I'd feel about it, and for me, it completely shined. Being able to skip large parts of the final level due to being helped by factions that I helped through sidequests is so my jam. And I really just liked most of what I got from the ending slides, in particular due to how it incorporated some of the final things you picked on what to do next.

It does not improve.
