Wutobliteration 05/14/22 11:34:38 AM #1:	The game was heavily praised to critical acclaim upon release and lauded for its good RPG elements and all. Yet there was hardly any talk about it after that... We didn't see any sales figures but I assumed the game only did decently well. It's kind of strange considering that this was made by the same team that did the very successful New Vegas. What happened? Outer Worlds feels like that one rare polished game that somehow went completely under the radar for no reason at all <cite>Wutobliteration posted [p:965029614] in Forget Sta...

MJOLNRVII 05/14/22 11:35:35 AM #3:	It's pretty underwhelming. I wouldn't call it bad but I was expecting something on par with New Vegas and left disappointed.

And yeah, like others said it was New Vegas without the soul. This was largely my feeling about it. The writing was good, the first planet was good, but it fell off after than. Everything about the game just felt kinda of shallow. The world-building was shallow, the mechanics and weapons felt shallow. It just wasn't super inspired. And despite everyone hoping for NV 2, the game was more structured like KOTOR but with an FPS combat system. --- Gheb is my other account <cite>Compsognathus posted [p:965029784] in Forget Sta...

Xavier_On_High 05/14/22 11:45:12 AM #7:	It felt like a proof of concept. Certain things were incredibly polished, and others were embarrassingly unfinished. Not a bad effort for a small studio on a relatively tiny budget, though. The lack of depth killed it, though.

Expected 4~ areas around the size of the first one. Instead we got a smallish "town" area (the groundbreaker), a tiny area (the one with the toothpaste lab), a massive empty area (monarch) and an unfinished feeling town (the final city place). Even getting away from the later areas feeling less developed, the pacing was just all over the place. I still quite like it though, especially now that I know what to expect. But when I got to Monarch on that first playthrough, oof. The momentum just grinded to a halt. --- Ghosts are cool. <cite>FurryPhilosifer posted [p:965030209] in Forget Sta...

FurryPhilosifer 05/14/22 12:56:28 PM #25:	I always see people justify the game's underwhelminginity with "ah well it's just a small budget, shouldn't have expected something massive and ambitious!". The game isn't underwhelming because of the small scope. It's because 80% of the game is like an empty fake movie set town. Also the levelling system is pretty lame. Was never excited to pick a perk. Edgewater and the groundbreaker are excellent. Then the game just kinda doesn't bother after that. Fizzles out. --- Ghosts are cool. <cite>FurryPhilosifer posted [p:965031086] in Forget Sta...
