    I'm guardedly hopeful for Outer Worlds 2. I loved the first game, but could see it clearly had much more they'd wanted to do but couldn't due to budgetary constraints.

      And you think they dont have budgetary constraints now ? Lol...where do you live ? Everything is double as expensive nowadays, so you can bet your own ass its way worse now then it was 5 years ago...for a company, and with the inflated taxes ? With the world politicians getting greedier and greedier and more corrupt by the millisecond ? The world population doing nothing just taking it like a champ up their ass ? Letting them steal everything we have ? Dont get your hopes up, I only wish Outer Worlds 2 will be as good as OW1. At least that, Obsidian should try to achieve, then mission accomplished.

I was getting a bit bored with what we had. Boy was he spot on with this one. This game reminds me of Borderlands and Fall Out, which are great games.

    Outer Worlds wonderfully delivered on its premise. It wasn't built to be an infinite sandbox of possibilities like Skyrim or Fallout. It was built to be a puzzlebox that hands you a swiss army knife. It has two, maybe three playthrough's worth of content if you really rinse it out, but the point is about giving the player the tools to approach the game entirely as they choose. If you don't want to kill anyone, you can do that. If you want to kill everyone you run into, that works too. Extreme examples, but furthermore, whether you choose melee, stealth, guns, science weapons, speech, leadership, solo or an actual idiot as a playstyle, you can finish the game without ever being demanded to compromise from your chosen style.
    Maybe the person who sells you the navkey really annoys you and you don't want to help her. Sneak behind her and steal the navkey from the safe instead of working out a deal. You can take over Edgewater with a robot army if you want to! The game wants you to play it your way and it's wonderful.

      It’s a fun game full of possibilities but Obsidian had no clue how to design fun, engaging combat. Enemies might as well be made of butter and you never feel threatened, which drains any sense of tension or challenge. It’s so easy it’s as if you’re playing with cheats on, and there’s no excuse for that.

      There are, but the issue is that it feels like the devs had no clue about how to balance the combat and overall difficulty. If you want a typical Normal mode sort of challenge for example, with peaks and valleys of hard sections and easy sections, you’re not going to get that, even if you play on Hard. I can’t speak for Super Nova, the hardest difficulty I believe, but I think that just makes enemies super tanky and introduces Perma Death and survival mechanics.

    After playing the game 4 times ( my go to smooth talking run, genocide run, low intelligence run and super nova run) and I still love it. But I do have issues with it I would like to see resolved in the sequel.
    1. The leveling was way too lenient and by the end of the game you were practically a god who was great at everything.
    2. The gun play is serviceable but the AI and enemy variety was very bad. Most of the enemy's either just rushed you or ran for cover to then shoot you very basic. And most of the enemy's were either Canids, Marauders, Raptadons, Primals or Mechanicals.
    3. The dialog while very well written was very almost like a rubber band. I would make a different choice in dialog and I think I would be getting new dialog but I would get a new snippet then it would rubber band back to the default response.
    4. Choices felt very hollow, if I helped one side I would still be able to help the other. There were no real consequences to my actions. It was like if I was in one part of the world the others didn't exist. And most major choice boiled down to help one side or the other or compromise and everyone is happy. There were no real gut wrenching decisions.
    5. The NPCs were not very dynamic and felt like old Morrowind characters. They just stand in place waiting for you to come by and give them a reason to exist.
    Those are my main problems but most can be fixed with proper time and budget. Hopefully obsidian has learned from the outer worlds and we can see their growth in Avowed. And even more so in The outer worlds 2.

    always wanted to play this game when I saw the trailer and heard of the idea behind the Outer Worlds, but it just passed me due to life I guess. I finally got to play it last month and I absolutely loved it, but unfortunately the main story was really short. Even with doing some side quests, I only got to about 25 hours play time. In a way that was a good thing, since this way I don't spend 3000 hours on a video game, but kid me would have loved to do so.

    Good review! I’m 20 hours into my first playthrough. I’ve completed the main and all side quests for Terra 2 and Monarch. Hate to say but the quests are incredibly boring with all kinds of political faction fetch quests that do little to make me care. I hope that changes soon. However, where this game wins for me is in at least two areas - First, interesting and even hilarious characters and dialogue, like you said, especially in your party. Dark witty humor, a la Guardians of the Galaxy. Other games like this have included a lot of corny or silly humor, but this game went into fifth gear with the dark and even mean humor, and I eat that right up. The personality of these characters is way more appealing than anything in Bethesda‘s games. Second, graphics are better than the trailer showed in my opinion.

I don't think there are letters-to-numbers masterminds making it happen, but just that it does. Soon after I discovered gematria, like the next day, I opened my web browser and got a strange feeling when I read this one article title. "Meet Earendel, the most distant star ever detected". Put that into a gematria calculator... reverse ordinal is 666. I'm not religious but I know how important that number is to many people (even if they misunderstood it in the Bible.

      Agreed. Smaller world and too much dialogues and time spent in town. A lot of quests are also teleporting from town to town, loading time didn’t help either.

    I wanted to like this game so badly, but I tried an int and charisma build like i normally do in rpgs and every enemy became a bullet sponge, it was a huge pain. Weird that you mention enemies running with high persuasion. Is that something they added later? I don't think i ever had that happen.

    IMHO, Outer Worlds is damn near a masterpiece and better than Starfield in several aspects. The ironic thing is Microsoft (mega corporation) owns them. That said, hopefully Microsoft gives them the time and resources to make Outer World 2 even better. That Obsidian documentary revealed Avowed was going to be multiplayer but Microsoft allowed them to ditch that feature and focus on what makes Obsidian does best, Award-winning single player games.

  • @Timbo360
    @Timbo360 Рік тому

    Your points about what makes the game good despite some features being complaints (like shorter completion time) resonated with me as well. I do wish they had added a couple more DLCs, because the Murder mystery one was so fun on its own!

  • @hvn_gng
    @hvn_gng Рік тому +1

    I think once I got the most overpowered build for every category and all separate endings, I called it. Couldn't be asked to achievement hunt, but I damn near completed everything it had to offer. It was a neat game, while it lasted, and that's not to discredit it, because it actually had a lot more endings than what I asked of FO3/4 and Skyrim. Maybe I should sample some soundtracks.

    A few years ago I tried playing Skyrim, and didn’t end up liking it, though that was 100% for subjective reasons. Finished this game last night. It was freaking amazing. So much fun and the writing was brilliant and hilarious. I loved the characters and it had a more nuanced look at a revolution than many other stories. (Phineas is my fav character, love the man.) So many dialogue options too! I legitimately do not understand how people can say this game is bad. But hey, I didn’t like Skyrim, so what do I know lol

      My main complaint with these mega open worlds is that there’s very little to do. Take Assassin’s Creed for instance; I think it’s amazing that they can recreate Egypt or Greece… but if all you have is empty land with the occasional basic fetch quest, what’s the point?

There are some genuine laugh out loud moments for me and a really engrossing world. I can't recommend this enough for others who are fed up with sprawling, diluted open world action games with rpg mechanics.

    I'm not sure why the age of a game should hold any barring on if a game is "still" good or not, I will still go back to WWF No Mercy on the N64 as one of the best beat em up games of all time, and Super Mario 3 is still to this day one of my all time favorite video games. If a game held up when you first played it, then it still holds up today. Minus graphics, at which point you should just buy a painting if you want something beautiful to look at.

    • @AmateurGameReview
      @AmateurGameReview  Рік тому +2

      I think different eras hold up better than others. Nes snes genesis and even into the PS1 N64 era hold up remarkably better than more recent games. I have a harder time convincing myself to play something from the 360 or even the PS4.....

    Have been thinking of writing my first review ever since nearing the end of my play through with Atlas Fallen.
    Being that “perfectly casual/intermediate RPG” game I’ve been itching for.
    You were mentioning in the start how the outer worlds is but not too big. I’m on 23 hours in Atlas fallen; with I’d say 70-80% completing everything and exploring as I go.
    I remember loving OW when I played through it for that exact reason. Same with the Metro series. RPGs and/or story games that are open world but not exhausting to even think about playing, yet still leave room for experimentation.
    Anyway, whoever reads this, Atlas fallen is awesome, if it interests you go for it. I think it’s worth the 60$ I spent.

    I think the biggest mistake the Outer Worlds made and anyone can make playing this game, is comparing it to FNV. It's more like a CRPG, but first person (and having the name fallout drop during marketing) people (myself included) wanted this to be like FNV.
    Though it can take a while for games to take hold, for the hype to die down and to gain a fresh perspective. It's an awesome game and I knew I'd enjoy it eventually and I'm glad I'm here now.

      Not just the lvl design, the universe of Outer Worlds is apparently populated with women who multiply asexually as the ratio between genders feels like its a 10/90%, and yes the 90% is female. I've been playing 10 hours and the amount of male NPC's I've had a conversation with can be counted on one hand.
      Its 4. Every single leader, except for the Edgewater 'mayor', is a female, its truly bizarre. Engineers, heads of security, rebel leaders, everyone is a woman, with the same face lol. If they had done a 50/50 it would have been great, but this is just too obviously staged.
