Sequel was genuinely better. Lots of skill checks, and skill points being so scarce forced you to be careful with your builds. Companions were more likable all around, the areas were more interesting (both aesthetically and having more shit to explore), writing wasn’t constantly trying way too hard to be funny, and three radio stations with tons of original in-universe music and propaganda for each of the game’s factions was soul.

But it was a sequel to The Outer Worlds so nobody noticed.

>>732224906
>Point-and-click game
>Accessibility friendslop
I said things of note

I finished the game and probably the highest praise I can give it is that its not as boring as avowed. The game feels like an entire faction was cut out of the game and the remaining ones barely matter outside of world building. Half of the companions are half baked. Outer worlds 2 is basically 2 games, a dialogue based rpg and a mediocre fps awkwardly mashed together. It never really feels like the two overlap in a satisfying way. Despite having a lot of skill options, you don't get to choose many of them making it so that the only ones that matter are guns & speech. One for each side of the game. You can do something like go full engineering, science & medicine but the game doesn't really let you roleplay as that kind of character. Occasionally it'll remember that skills besides speech exist and give you a dialogue option that probably does nothing. But despite the game being littered in engines and mechanical shit, you don't really get to interact with these skills outside of their rare appearances in dialogue. Unless its something like shutting off an engine while a lever that lets a non-engineer do the same is only 2 steps away. And thats just engineering, the same applies for most of the other skills. Its just different flavors of which perks you want in a game that severely limits which perks are available. I have a bunch of other gripes about the game but no one gives a shit.

I’m sitting doing nothing,
which I do extremely well.
Exactly how I do it
is impossible to tell.
I scarcely move a muscle,
but serenely stay in place,
not even slightly changing
the expression on my face.

I’m fond of doing nothing,
so I do it all day long.
Wherever I do nothing,
I don’t ever do it wrong.
When I am doing nothing,
there is nothing that I do,
for if I started something,
it would mean that I was through.

When I am doing nothing,
I’m immobile as a wall.
When I am doing nothing
I don’t do a thing at all.
It’s easy doing nothing
and I find it lots of fun,
though when I’m finally finished
I’m uncertain that I’m done.

What even would have been the story of OW2? It's been a while so might have forgotten but wasn't the first game basically "capitalist planet is hekkin bad!" and then you more or less wrap up the story? I knew there was a OW2 but what do you even tell there?

>>732240082
It's set in another solar system and has almost nothing to do with the first game's plot. It's the system that manufactures the skip drives that make FTL travel possible but there's a big three-way war between Auntie's Choice (megacorp, basically the same shit from the first game), the Order of the Ascendant (weird cultists who worship math), and The Protectorate (Communists, Nazis, religious zealots, and monarchists all at the same time, they just fucking love authoritarianism and will make up any excuse for it, they're the bad guys). You're a space cop sent to sort shit out. Also the skip drives have torn holes in space that are going to kill everybody. That's the gist of it, I guess.

>>732226320
>An RPG without romance is worthless so I skipped outer wilds lol
Not only does TOW2 not have romance, it's completely sexless. Seems like in order to avoid any gender debates they made everyone completely oblivious to gender, sex or romance.
No one is in a relationship. No romance. No mentioning of biological urges. No one has children or talks about them.

>>732223674

Most of the people that worked on New Vegas either work at other studios or left the video game industry altogether. You're never getting a game like that ever again.

Gay fish was the sequel. First was dozens of donut steel tortured OCs standing on every street corner because they thought letting people pay to put their characters in the game was a good idea

>>732242232
The second game had every faction being run by a woman. Literally every one, even the bad guys. It’s kind of absurd that literally every position of power is all held by women.

>>732223674
The autistic dialog makes the outer worlds 2 unsalvageable from a story perspective but I'll shit on the world building a bit anyways.
1.There's not enough actual diversity on the planets, I simply do not believe there would be only 2 nations between the 4 planets that make up the game. Especially if they're actually hospitable like Eden. The game should be filled with little sub factions, like various unrelated dissenters to do one time quest for so you can fuck over the monarcho-communist dictatorship without dickriding the mega corporation.

2.Scrappers have no reason to be in the game other than ripping off raiders from fallout. Drug addicts don't form militias like that and they should've a paramilitary arm of Sub Rosa instead
.
3. Why did they waste time making Sub Rose an actual faction when it has no companions, no radio, or even any contributions to the ending? That effort should've gone to making the protectorate a faction, no?
4. Marisol's companion quest and Aza's entire character feel really half baked. Stopping the other solar system threatening quest feels important enough but it's totally separate from the main plot. All we get from it is her learning to be a bit more humble. I was expecting Aza to become more than a murder hobo but then she just doesn't.

Game play wise it doesn't have nearly enough enemy verity, it sucks to both play as and play against melee, nothing's worth crafting other than health charges, items don't do enough, limiting armor to just 2 pieces was lame as fuck, weapon modding is way too limited, mountains don't appear on the map so the world isn't as open as you think, and .there aren't enough random encounters to keep the world interesting (half of them are 'oh no, yet another biologist got mauled by some alien')

Actually getting to met some of the personalities from the radio station was pretty sick tho icl.

>>732226320

>>732241710

>>732243362
they spent 6 years making it. I doubt anything about that is low budget

>. When Avowed was initially pitched to Microsoft, it was initially envisioned as a massive, ambitious cross between The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Destiny 2.
I think they're just idiots who had cut down so much on their ideas that it came out as feeling like a giant compromise and not anyones actual vision

>>732223674
They wrote themselves in a corner, anyways. MS would let them make a third, but then they'd have to figure out the Earth plot.

>>732231164
2 drops that for the most part. Auntie's Choice is bizarrely nice compared to the first game.

It's weird how puritanical they get about it too. "I don't hate romance, I just hate how games gamify romance, it doesn't feel realistic, it's artificial."

You fucking cunt, it's just as artificial as the "deep, strong friendship bonds" you write anyway. Why is romance singled out, while we pretend that talking to Garrus between each mission and then shooting cans with him was somehow less artificial?

It's a fantasy, it doesn't have to be perfectly representative to be cromulent.

I don't even hate woke retardation if it's at least good. The problem? 99% of the time, it's a reverse seal of quality. Case in point, this game and Avowed.
>Marvel tier writing
>Bland gameplay
>Lack of choices or interaction in a supposed RPG

The fact that it got a sequel to begin with is retarded.

Isn't that the one that materialized out of the ether with no marketing but somehow had a whole slew of sequels and tie in media planned?

>>732223718
I was actually looking forward to sequel. But it's got one foot forward and one backwards compared to the original outer worlds

>Greenlight TOW2, Avowed, Fable (Tranny edition)

All Xbox execs are giga retards/rival plants, I swear.

What point? That they won't go out of the way for your boring relationship mechanics that belong in womanly literature?

> An RPG without romance is worthless
A good RPG don't need a romance shit because it drains the resources from the important parts
Only retarded coomers play RPGs for romances, but true gamers play it for the complexity of the systems and narrative

CIA doing the same shit in Iran. Libtards are just retarded no matter where they are from
They also tried it in Belorussia and Russia

>Have an entire community of passionate gamers ready to hand over 70$ for a quality product.
>All you've got to do is listen to what people are interested in, understand what makes other games in the genre stand out, and deliver some high-grade goods
>Nah, let's make it all gay and lame and ugly and shit.
>Let's also appeal to a vocal minority of people who don't even play videogames and actively hate the hobby and the people in it.
Huh. Weird how that shakes out.

This.
People seem to have no conception of how modern game studios work.
Usually, the team that made that awesome game you like will contain nearly none of the same people by the time a sequel is being developed.
The profession of game dev is highly contract based, once the work is done much of the team is disbanded to maximize profits.

>>732256503
Those games are still playable and now their legacies will remain untarnished.

I was a hardcore obsidian defender because of how much I love new vegas (biological male (male))
even after OW I realized NV was just a fluke, they'll never strike gold like that again
I do think OW2 was an improvement but still not good enough to warrant a purchase

Whats the next step on their master plan? A discount Warcraft? Simcity? Maybe go eastern and flop with a discount Final Fantasy?

>>732223674
larian and owlcat kept working away at CRPGs even though its not trendy and got their rewards
obsidian are a bunch of redditor hacks that tried to chase trends and make shitty action games
GOOD RIDDANCE

Wasn't the art director saying he wants to replace all the crusty old men in his ranks with niggers and go live in the woods? His dream became true I guess, well done.

Does "underperformed" count as "mild success"
Asking for real, I have no idea how corpospeak works in this case.

>>732225975
Best games? You mean their games that were sequels to another team's work?

>>732223674
Shitsidian deserves worse hope they close soon

>>732264067
in this case, if they had met their target of being a 'mild success,' they would have said they were 'satisfied' or that they'd 'met expectations.'
'Underperformance' in this context means that they really failed to get people interested in playing either by GP or through purchases.

>>732223674
This game is simply not visually appealing in the art department.
The idea of space old west is interesting, but the execution is extremely poor.
It's insane to me that Grounded comes from the same studio, those devs are above and beyond more competent than the rest of the studio by miles.

>>732223674
Still amazed they thought making a second one was a good idea.

>>732261549
grounded 2 will carry

>>732261729
Hopefully they assign more than 1 janitor to work on Grounded 2 so we can finally have more than 10% of the fucking park playable.

Pentiment did make money but it was very cheap to develop, especially since Sawyer will keep putting in extra hours for free. POE might be incredibly mediocre but you can't refute Sawyer has put an absurd amount of time in to polishing it towards what he considers perfect.

>>732224386
all the talent that made their games stand out left the company, like chris avellone.

>>732264536
Doubtful that it will carry 280 dev wages, how many are even on that specific team?
But that is really jeetsofts problem, not mine

>>732265543
If true, it shows. It's the only MS franchise that actually delivers what it promises, and then some. If you had told me that a corny survival sim would have some of the most satisfying 1st person combat and enemy variety I wouldn't have believed it.

>>732264931
POE as a setting is the most generic shit ever, so I never cared enough about it. I played POE some time ago and I found the starting sequence incredibly boring and stopped playing as soon as you find the guy hanged in the first town and you awake your super duper special powers. Does it improve after that? Should I give it another chance?

>>732261729
Yea looks like making a game based in nipland is the emergency button for these woke retards

I played it and finished it (I quit the first one like one hour in)

It's fun but pozzed to hell and the companions are trash.
