Finally a review not written for quick views. Thanks for clarifying the history of the Obsidian team. They created Fallout but it’s out of their hands now. Most reviewers just say “they made New Vegas”. That is misleading. Yes, the story has some meaningful choices and can be played for more than just the 12 hour main quest. Thanks for reviewing this honestly. The game is great enough to be totally immersed in. That’s all that matters to me.

The rpg systems of this game were pretty generic and barebones. They’re easily the weakest part of the game. Having said that, the Flaw system is definitely the best idea the game has to offer. But it could definitely use some improvements, like each flaw having more unique downsides instead of sharing the same attribute penalties, and offering flaw-specific perks instead of a generic perk point. Hopefully, Obsidian carries this system over to the sequel and improves upon it.

@JazzzRockFuzion2 жыл бұрын
Honestly, one of my favorite games of the last 10 years. While it's obvious TOW was done on a modest budget, it has so much heart! It's apparent what a labor of love this was for Cain, Boyarsky and their team at Obsidian. I did four runs (twice including both DLCs and once with the hidden 'dumb ending') and absolutely loved it. The writing (dialogue!), companions and many key NPCs like Welles were just wonderful IMO. Incidentally, I agree 100% regarding the DLC suites; I felt the setting, atmosphere, player agency and choice in Peril On Gorgon was *far superior* to Murder On Eridanos. I actually felt that MOE was the weakest, most tedious act of the entire game. Overall, this game is a feel-good RPG-lite experience packed with personality. I cannot wait for the AAA sequel!
@Drafonni Жыл бұрын
Gorgon did a good job of expanding on what was there and fits into the main quest well. Eridanos felt tacked on and actually messed up the pacing a bit imo. I think it would’ve worked better as a post main quest adventure or played with a different character if they reworded a couple things.

I can honestly say personally that while I am getting some strong New Vegas vibes (especially as it pertains to the game's satirical nature), The Outer Worlds takes itself far more seriously I find than Fallout: NV. And I truly feel that the creators set out to make more of an homage to Firefly and Serenity than anything else; from the design of the Unreliable to the nature of the crew minus SAM. (In point-of-fact, Parvati is so much like Kaylee that I just call her Kaylee.) This is not a negative, mind you, but a strength as I myself am a Browncoat and this game does what it sets out to do so well. It's SO Firefly in fact that... ----------------------------------------------------------- SPOILERS FOR BOTH SERENITY AND THE OUTER WORLDS DLC IF YOU'VE SEEN SERENITY ---------------------------------------------------------- ...the entire crux/plot/conflict of Peril on Gorgon is ripped wholesale from the third act revelation of Serenity whereas the crew discovers the secret of Miranda is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- END OF SPOILERS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And I LOVE The Outer Worlds for that. It's likely the closest thing we'll ever get to a fully realized Firefly game or continuation.

Then the company that hired them never uses anything they made or wrote, but lists them as part of the development team. It is quite sad. FNV was pretty great, I just wish we would get away from battle royale type games and put out some good quality single player games like FNV. I am an old school gamer and even bad games 20 years ago were still a hell of a lot better than games now put out by AAA developers. I think Kickstarter, Fig and DLC have just killed creativity. If a game is broken, it is day one patches and "free" DLC that fixes it. Very lame indeed.

I did 120 hrs over 3 playthrough and all dlc, all trophy’s. My take, a solid 8.5 / 10 I also preferred peril dlc over the murder as I enjoyed the setting better. My first playthrough was an intelligence character jack of all trades using whatever I wanted but speech checks and lockpicking were high priority. I explored everywhere did every side quest and collected all the stuff as the typical horder I am. 2nd playthrough was to get the alternative trophies from quests where I had gone a different route than before and I played casually specking more into heavy guns than I did in first run and didn’t bother with speech. 3rd was super nova, here I used fudge muppets paladin hammer build, the prisma hammer fully specked out with a science build was devastating and lots of fun. It was tough on the first planet to reach lvl 7 but once the first planet was done and got the prisma hammer at lvl 7 it was mostly smooth sailing and I really enjoyed super nova with this build. After 3 playthrough there’s really nothing left so I decided my final trophy would be the secret ending and that capped off the game for me in a memorable way. Parvati was my fave companion. It took me 5 years to pick up and try this game, I’m so glad I did.

@597682 жыл бұрын
I preferred that too. I know that's casual or whatever because honing your build is a big part of RPGs. I enjoy these games for that too. But not when it forces me to be completely locked out of potentially meaningful content. Then it's either risk spoiling the experience for yourself or make these choices without even knowing what you're trading for them. Story choices you would have preferred for RP reasons? Entire questlines? Your build turning out to be terrible for your preferred faction? Not even being able to use some really cool item that you totally would have specced for if you knew it existed? With story choices, the game gives you specific context to make a relatively informed decision. With stats, all you have going in are the description text and abstract character archetype expectations. I don't mind not doing the highest possible damage. I prefer optimizing for being a jack of all trades who can experience more of the game instead. Unfortunately most RPGs don't have generous enough stat allocation or low enough lockout requirements for that. Though of course another simple solution is when games show you all of the unavailable options you're missing out on and let you respec easily.

I really like this game. But it’s not going to be for everyone. The gameplay is mediocre. Attributes, skills and perks are similar to Fallout, but boring. Combat is like Fallout, but with worse controls, Mortisimal called it ”floaty” and that’s not a bad description. The story is linear with a big mainquest and a few sidequests. No sandbox, no open world exploration, no cornucopia of sidequests. Good story, but limited replayability. So what is there to like you might ask? The storytelling, voice acting and companion relationships are really good. Some of the background designs - savescreens, promotional posters, commercial jingles and so on - are exquisite, for what it’s worth. And the worldbuilding is hilarious. Imagine a future like Idiocracy, where corporations have taken over everything and trained everyone to think exclusively in marketing slogans. But with more horror. From existential horror to body horror. This game can make you actually depressed or nauseous. Some of the shit you encounter is so messed up. That’s what I enjoy. But I guess that this satire might work better for you if you already believe that corporations are kinda evil and running a government ”like you run a business” is the worst idea in history. If you are a lefty in other words.

Never played a game before like this that I appreciated more every time I beat it. I've now finished it 3 times. First playthrough was a slog on Supernova and I did myself a huge disservice comparing it in my mind to Obsidian's Fallouts. It just doesn't have the same depth. It was memorably disappointing when I realized the number of planets available to explore, the limited RPG mechanics and the sparseness of the maps. That said, what we get is all charming and the gameplay loop is tight. The next two runs I played lower difficulties, got through things much more quickly, and hyper specialized my characters. It really benefits from being played this way. It's relatively short, things move quickly, and it doesn't leave you feeling the kind of fatigue you usually feel after a meaty RPG. Here's looking at you, Wasteland 3. Edit: I've since hit 100 percent. I definitely thought Peril on Gorgon was only okay. The DLC's were the last things I had to do. Gorgon was nice in how it could end in different ways, but it just wasnt particularly fun. Eridanos was just pulp to the max and it had the writing it needed to sell the setting. Short and sweet. Kind of like the rest of the Outer Worlds. Overall I loved almost all the writing in TOW, which honestly is the main reason I play RPGs.

Watching their movements/facial expressions, voice fluctuations.. they encourage me to care.

I'm playing this game now and the only thing I keep thinking about is how it feels like fallout in space. I'm not sure why you say it is a double A game, but to each there own. I can only guess that it doesn't have graphics that you think it should have. Recently the Starefield show case was out and I'm looking forward to playing it. But the graphics certainly while good, are still not the next generation photo realistic that people bare hoping to see. Just saying.

Yeah, I love Obsidian and by all means I do believe that they would be the better developers for the Fallout franchise if they have it... but that marketing stunt really felt bitter.

this game was on my radar before it came out and when it did it got a lot of meh reviews and the cost turned me off but as of the time of this comment its on sale for 20 bucks, i think i might pick it up. great review by the way

And now a word from the cheap seats. Great review from an obviously experienced gamer, well thought out and critiqued from that perspective. But what about from the position of someone who spends 2-3 hours a week playing the game (out of maximum 6 hours)?

1:50 The marketing only tripped up people who didn't understand it as Obsidian's take with FO:NV i.e. choices actually mattering, dialogue intrigue, etc. 24:25 Nothing wrong with AA charging $60 but the price has come down I think I just bought the game + DLC for $35 with no sale on Steam Also just because this is a AA game, how is this game disappointing because it's trying to be AAA? The other problems you mentioned are warranted but how is this less innovative and impressive than Bethesda's shovelware the past few years? The main story despite having two (three if you know what I mean) solid ending paths was more captivating than FO4. If anything Bethesda is COD-ifying Fallout in terms of story whereas Outer Worlds bleeds 70s/80s sci-fi genres and themes but not in a "in your face" manner. The gameplay world while not as open world at least doesn't feel unusually empty like Elder Scrolls, Fallout, or Borderlands and chances are you'll investigate most locations in the game during normal play with some chances for further exploration to see the rest whenever you want. Meanwhile in FO the remaining 50% of locations you can explore are unimaginative and pure fluff. Say what you want about this AA game failing to be AAA but in terms of worldbuilding, theme, genre, dialogue, and overall story Bethesda is beat on this one and I'd love to see anyone say FO4's story even rivals this game's. I'll take better writing over slightly degraded gameplay any day.

Yeah, the marketing sucked. It turned out to be one of those crappy grindy RPG's with very little real story or character depth/choices that are completely unfulfilling. It's more like "Borderlands" than anything. The best way I've heard the story described is "The Better Business Bureau vs Rick from 'Rick and Morty'".

I got the game for free when I bought my current CPU. Then paid for both DLC's. I agree with the reviewer that Gorgon was a great upgrade to the game, but Eridanos is mostly shallow and irritating. If I knew what I know now I would probably not have paid money for Eridanos, mostly because the ending makes you feel like all the "work" you put into it was useless.
