That stinky huh?
>>724270770Ill give them credit, it is better than the first one
>>724270770The closed access outsold ninja gayden 4 lol
Its actually pretty good. But you play an RPG for the story and OW2 is too left wing and cringe
>>724270770It releases in 2 days and already destroyed /v/
it's fucking boringthe first cinematic right off the bat is some butch chick slapping a white dude because he was panicking then your first companion is a burnt nignog and a robotthe dialogue is boringthe start of the story is decent but once you get to the first planet is straight downhill the hot white girl that's part of your crew gets killed right off the bat too
>>724271068BUCKBROKEN
I've played through the intro and a bit of the first planet.Impressions so far (playing on Very Hard)>Melee seems like it's gonna be unusable other than for sneak attacks, everything kills you in seconds>AI is extremely bad, you can just leave a room and hostiles don't follow so you can just de-aggro, go back in for a sneak headshot and run away>Enemies having infinite grenades is very annoying, especially since they are immune to their own explosions>I fucking hate needing lockpicks to use my lockpicking skill, I already invest in the skill why do I need another item for it, they don't seem super plentiful either, I couldn't open one room in the tutorial area because I ran out>Too little xp from enemies compared to everything else, maybe it gets better later though>NPCs can killsteal you, if you don't land the final blow you get 0xp even if you damaged the enemy, very annoying>Game looks and runs well overall but some shadows look absolutely goddawful and grainy>Skills seem cool, I liked Observation>Perks also seem nice>Couldn't dick around with the crafting because I didn't have any recipes but it seemed pretty solid>Gunplay feels fine although I wish you got more options earlier, pistol and bolt action only for the tutorial and the first town has nothing new, no sniper rifle or assault rifle or smgs>Game doesn't show headshot damage when aiming for a sneak attack, might be a bug.>De Vries is actually kinda hot.>Character creation is serviceable although other than Face 1 and like one of the Asian faces it's not possible to make a good looking female character.>No body customization and the default is kinda chunky.>Lots of hair options and a few actual feminine ones, no more military cuts only>I liked the idea of picking a flaw to be allowed to get 2 starting traits
wokeslop trash gayme
I feel like the dialogue scripting has a lot of bugs. I'm getting NPCs that reset their dialogue as if they met me for the first time and repeating dialogue trees that I've already gone through. melee is fucked because enemies do so much damage. companions die like flies in combat. it's fun but the issues take me out of it
>>724271397Also forgot to add, the Flaw system is actually very cool.
Eh, i'll think about it.
I'm a huge shill of the first one and i loved it.Pirated the 2nd one. Spent 1 hour trying to fix the performance and adjust the graphics only to end up at 30 fps in high and everything looking blurry.It has the most boring prologue i've played in my life, horrible woke vitiligo prosthetics character creator, the first game had you as an independent space pirate but now i'm some soldier boy for some big woke organization with Pedo Pascal, blacks and women.FInish prologue, starting area looks like this.So i uninstalled. Might play it when all DLCs are out, there's good mods and performance is fixed with updates.
>>724270770I'd rather play more starfield than this woke slop.
>>724272834> I'd rather play woke slop than woke slopWhat did anon mean by this...
why is a smelly brown (like the ones in this game) comparing this to Ninja Gaiden? And then claiming /v/ "lost" when every thread about NG is >lol it flopped wowProotpreet, why can't you do the needful and learn to read? Why?
>>724270770the game is frankly just uglydoesnt feel like youre on another planet just a worse version of avowed
>>724272834you know this isnt true. theres only so much starfield the human body can tolerate
Been playing Tyranny instead while waiting for them to do the usual patches that make the game actually work.
>>724272669>>724273006Obsidian needs to be gutted, starting with the art department. Another one of those studios that hasn't made an actual good game in a decade, riding on the name of those who came before.
>>724270770Isn't that the popsicle guy from regular show
>>724273439The sad thing about obsidian is that both pillars games had awesome background area art, the fuck happened to whoever was behind those?
>>724272669The original ran badly and to say nothing of the initial release of the spacer's choice edition. Hey ho though your 2060 is still rocking!
>>724270770i'd love it if we had overwatch 2 threads but you guys always end up talking about...well you know...
>>724270770Is this just futurama if it were an ARPG?
>>724273709yeah basically. it's cassette futurism crossed with gilded age aesthetics. I actually kind of like the art style a lot
>>724273628>The original ran badlyI don't remember having any issues at all on my cheap gpu. Spacers choice is fucked yes, but original seemed fine?
>has to compile shaders every time you start itseriously?
>>724271068jesus, performed worse than bloodlinees 2
>>724270770balance is some of the worst i've ever seen in a mainstream rpg and it seems like obsidian fired QA or no one played stealth internally because it's buggy as shit. shooting a sleeping enemy with a silenced weapon that they survive leads to them standing up, chastising you and then going back to bed. enemies are also leashed to whatever room/small area they spawn in so you can just reset every fight that isn't a boss arena
Any pirate fags getting an issue where quest mobs repeat dialogue like never spoke before?
>>724270770It’s what the first game should have been on release. It’s a solid 7.5-8.0/10 If not higher for being a stats based character driven build focused rpg
>>724274127I stole the game IRL and have the same issue
>>724274265So it's a Obsidian bug and not a pirate bug? Gotcgha
>>724272669>I'm a huge shill of the first one and i loved it.please never post here again
>>724274016It's a game pass game. Literally free.
>>724274016>>724274560its still in pre-access so all those people paid 100 US DOLLARYDOOS to play it 5 days early
>>724274654To be fair the price includes bonus items and the future DLCs.
If instead of pumping out 3 dogshit games in one year, Obsidian put all that effort into one game, they probably would have something decent.
>>724270882This but the writing is still boring / cringe.
>>724270770Ohh another black lesbian power fantasy!!!! Yes!!!
>>724275147Good writing from American games is a thing of the past. Millenialslop until it's replaced by Zoomerslop and then ChatGPT slop once illiterate Alphatards get in the industry
>>724275236funny because for the first main story quest after prologue you have to choose between a strong black lesbian or a weak white man
>>724275147>>724275261my problem with the first game and awoed was how boring your companions and the story was
Synth is streaming it right now.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc2nq3xfC4w
>>724272669>I'm a huge shill of the first one and i loved it.lmao
>>724272893It means, even among wokeslop, there are standards. Starfieield beats this, which beats Dustborn which beats concord.
>>724270770Is the graphical effect that make me stop playing gone? What about the dykes?
>>724272954Because there's absolutely NOTHING good to say about this game, and he's desperate to change the discussion from "woke game who's creators have contempt for the core gaming audience fails to get traction and flops hard".
>>724270770I'm going to play Deadfire
It's just as ugly as the first game but now with DLSS fuzz all over the place.
>>724273126...what happens when you OD on starfield?>>724274127obsidian bug.>>724274180If you hate, well pretty much everybody the way I do I am not scoring it that high. Only saving grace is that it allows a genocidal run.
>>724275496Am I supposed to care who that is?
>>724274987Strong disagree. More time would just give the racist fuckheads on the team more space to whine their way into garbage. By releasing, they need to focus on actually making shit that works.
>>724271202>the hot white girl that's part of your crew gets killed right off the bat tooFuck You Obsidian. Shallnt even pirate it
>>724275848Who are you?
>>724275848Probably not, but some raw gameplay is a better review than the shillbots.It's pretty shit, like avowed was, but not a complete concord disaster.
>>724270770This game was just released and it's already failing. I feel sorry for Josh. He deserves to be in a studio that isn't complete shit. But I guess as long as the Microsoft money is coming in he doesn't mind.
Great Finkpunk game! Real ESGcore! It (black)ROCKS!
>>724273709Not even remotely. Futurama had good writing and wasn't painful to look at.
>>724275987>Microsoft money is coming inIsn't MS gutting everything nose and mandating a 30% margin?
>>724275965No thanks. I already pirated this trash heap for the first hand disappointment.
>Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that a Head Bobbing option was added in Patch 1.2. You can find the option to toggle it off and on in Settings under Gameplay.>I hope this helps, and good luck in Halcyon, Freelancers! archive.is/Mugtd
Is a 7900 xtx enough for 60fps 4k?
>>724276159kek
>>724275824you pass the point of saving, you start enjoying the Fallout tv show
>>724275448Haha yuck.
>>724276263you don't want to play something better?
>>724272669How does it look worse than vanilla skyrim?
>>724276050I don't think MS will close Obsidian in the near future. It would be bad look for them and a lot of people are still playing Grounded.
>>724275882what the fuck are you talking about you troon
>>724273709It isn't remotely close to futurama's style of humor nor is it an arpg. Phenomenally wrong post
>>724272669Im not even a sucker for graphics but why the fuck does this game looks so bad like HOLY SHIT
>Avowed>VtMB2>TOW2>barebones 10 hour "RPG" with bugs, trash gameplay, trash visuals, trash optimization, trash writing and cringe late 2010s wokeness>69,99€How did it get this bad?Where do publishers find the confidence to release garbage like this and charge premium price for it?
>>724276159>the way that mountain shakes in the distance What the fuck were they thinking ?
>>724275602>>724275668this looks genuinely terrible
>>724271397I thought the original was the blandest game ever so is this one any better? I liked Starfield btw
>>724277450Yes, but that's the first game. The second looks worse.
>>724271202You don't actually want to play games, kill yourself.
>Framing device is that you work for some anti-corruption organization >Halfway through the first hub world main quest and the corrupt capitalists seem like the most reasonable choiceMaybe there will be some reveals or twists before I wrap it up, but it's just like...what exactly is the fucking message here? The first game was a ham-handed cringe fest, but this one doesn't even seem sure of what it's trying to say.
>>724277828No one wants to play the first one or the seque for that matterl, obsiditroon.
>>724272669These graphics look like disco elysium
>>724271068To their credit 10k concurrent super ultra giga deluxe preorder players is higher than I would expect
how long until the "its on gamepass you fucking chud" copehow long until they report players but never numbershow long until the wait until the weekend cope startshow long until they start saying well it doesnt need to be a huge success
>>724277708How did you like Starfield but find TOW "the blandest game ever"?
>>724271202making a weg parody where she survives and marries the player
>>724271068OOF that's rough.
>>724279676idk. Is TOW2 better than the first?
>>724270770Not even worth pirating, the first one was bad enough.
Microshit has been a disaster for both the human race and the games industry and needs to go. This just needs to stop. It isn't even funny anymore. No one even seems mad. It just seems totally inconsequential to everything, and no one even bothers to acknowledge their existence.
>>724270770no idea what you are talking about. the game is very positive on steam and its an instant hit with its rich atmospheric story and different ways of roleplaying your character using different builds which have meaning. best fps released in the last 5 years for sure.
>>724280181>nigger in most retardedly desgined armour everopinion irrelevent
Is there absolutely any reason to play this or should I just replay New Vegas for the 80th time?
first thing i did when i hit the first town was go to the bar like any real gamer. the graphics are sublime
>>724275518>>724275602>>724275668>companions have abilities that when activated, pauses the entire game by forcing you to look at an animationWho ever thought this was a good idea? Seeing it like this for the first activation and that being only time would be still annoying but bearable. Yet they chose to stop absolutely everything so that you can see the exact same animation without any variation that would get repetitive by the third time you've seen it.Surely this was brought up and ignored by some higher up. There is just no way nobody noticed how bad it was.
>>724270770I don't know how can anyone feel like playing after seeing pic related
>>724273709Futurama is upbeat and colorful, this is the opposite.
>>724281186This is dystopian.
>>724281186Haha that is hideous.
>>724272669How the heck can they make the game more woke than the first? They just ignore feedback? It's fine to make less money as long as the nazis "get mad"?
>>724280518That hud is horrible, so flat and terribly arranged. If there's one thing the first game did right, it's giving the hud some degree of stylization, but this is truly abysmal.Not to mention the niggerfest beyond it.
>>724283238The first game sold well and looks like the second is doing even better, what are you on about? If anything, the issue with these games is that they do what makes money instead of building a proper rpg.
>>724271068Wait so only people who paid for the deluxe edition get to play this earlier right? Then that's far more than I expected.
>>724270770Yes, glad I watched the previews and companions video which made it very clear to NOT purchase this gameVery stinky but I'm glad they showed the world a plate of shit and were proud of it.
>>724281150>pauses the entire game by forcing you to look at an animationActually, just you and enemies, a common abused bug is that if you have two companions one will always keep firing as the other does their super attack, equip them with heavy weapons, use perks to let them do massive damage and you’ve trivialized the game as the camera zooms into a alcoholic black womans minigun missing 90% of its shots while the priest you gave a comically overpowered shotgun to is standing beside them planting atleast 5 slugs directly to their temple
>>724281186>character design falls apart from the shoulders downI don’t understand, it’s like they had AI finish concept art portraits, absolutely none of these designs are coherent beyond the shoulders, not a single one, I’m actually amazed
>>724277375The slop has been getting worse, but this game is significantly better than those other two.
>>724272430If you take two flaws really quickly it'll give you a choice of a third flaw that'll give you more flaws faster. They all seem pretty solid as risk rewards, in the previous game it was a flaw for a perk, now they get a specific reward tied to the cost
>>724280181> le trip to the moon inspired moon in a tux mascot on the cover>game is actually just the most tepid and ugly modern vision of sci-fi but also looks like first person WoW.
is it me or does the game run like absolute garbage
>>724270770>That stinky huh?I'm currently playing it. So far it's enjoyable, not that groundbreaking though.
>>724277959The capitalists are all corrupt and full of snake oil or are punished for minor things to keep them down so nepo babies can get promoted, but the other side are so well trained to trust their superiors, that they're incredibly naive and are just willing to say "well he's higher rank so he's right" when their leader starts randomly his own people and calling them traitors for no reason. Both sides are incompetent but both sides also have good people. Apparently there's a fully fleshed out "kill them all" route
>>724271397>De Vries is actually kinda hot.Which doesn't even fucking matter because Obsidian hates the player. No romance for you, chud! She probably tells you about other guys she's fucking instead. Are you retarded? Listing this as a positive impression. Fucking idiot.
>>724286554This whole thing reminds me of tropes growing up where women or girls would be inappropriately disgusted at men in the setting for just about anything, affection might as well have been splashing acid in their faces.
>>724286651
>>724286554>NOOOOO THE PIXELS LOVE ME MUM!Jesus you're so pathetic
>>724286745>De Vries is soooo hot!>Isn't she sooooo hot!>But you're the pathetic one if you don't like hearing about relationships she has with other people!Shut the fuck up you shill faggot
Is having flaws worth it?
>>724286745>"I'm admiring her from afar..."Bruh
Not a bad game. Not that great but there's enough to keep you playing to completion, probably. Love the art style and so far it's interesting. Does have an obnoxious "woke" aura around it which is annoying once you notice it, but all of their games after New Vegas are like that. World feels shallow and empty a lot of times probably because Microshaft wanted this shit to run on Xbox and it shows. It's aight. I'll keep playing. Pretending like this game is complete shit is overreacting.>>724272669The performance is below average but it doesn't look THAT bad. Might be something on your end.
>>724285217nigger everytime there's a special deluxe edition early release the player numbers barely improve for the official release. This thing is hitting 15k concurrent. Maybe 20k at best.
>>724286745>angloid
I remember playing the first game on the hardest difficulty and just started killing everything with melee. Story literally boiled down to corporation trying to starve everyone even though they have the technology and means to solve the issue and its very poorly to not explained at all why they would do so.
>>724287340not that guy but on my 3070tim it ran like absolute garbage while looking like shitMeanwhile I can run cyberpunk at a steady 60
>>724270770>Destroy any remaining customer confidence in gamepass right before Ninja gaiden and Outerworlds 2 dropI'm just gonna assume they're nuking Xbox on purpose now. This kind of oversight can't be a mistake.
>>724287417I have no idea if this is true or wrong, but I cant imagine you being correct. I will now watch this so I know going forward.
>>724287340ah yes the beige planet very exciting
>>724287429I know
>>724286554wait what? I thought we hated romance in video games
I went back and played a bit of the first and it just doesn't really appeal to me, desu, I don't see why I'd wanna get the second. I hated the way the entire game flowed after the tutorial planet.
>>724287871It happens with almost every popular release, especially considering the deluxe edition has the weekend bonus.It is demoralising as fuck because I hoped normalfaggots were not retarded enough to spend $20-$30 more just to play a couple days earlier.
>>724288136"Anti-coomers" are transparently just fucking faggots that hate anything straight men could conceivably find appealing. That's why they endlessly kvetch about "waifu incels" and "male gaze objectification" like feminized cucks. Notice they NEVER complain faggot romance, asexual dyke matchmaking quests (which was in outer worlds 1 aka the "game that doesn't have romance") or other gay shit. It's easy to notice if you're not retarded.
>>724281186Shit looked like concord if it were single player. What a waste of disk space.
>>724288330I just like made in abyss. I wont even fuck A cups.
>>724275602anyone who played this should be executed.
>>724277375DEI leftists can't actually make games. Turns out japs and white males were the true talent
>>724289096I can assure you it was still 80% white males snd Asians. Unless you are real sticky about Chinese vs Japs.
>>724289096>japsThey've already been threatened to fall in line by (((payment processors))) and ?sensitivity consultants))). It's over there too. No, "defunding USAID" didn't do a goddamn thing. Look at all the garbage that's still being shit out.>Those were already in production! You won't see changes for another 5 years! Trust the plan! Patriots are in control!LOL sure.
>>724271068It's selling worse than the RV game which just announced 1.3 million copies sold. This is a revenue ranking too, so it sold significantly less considering that RV game is 8 dollars.
>>724287493Didn't play the game
>>724289351>Escape from DuckovBased
>>724287340>Love the art styleYou are blind and also gay, that is the ugliest fucking thing i've ever seen in my entire life. Those are the worst fucking colors you could use for an environment. I thought faggots were supposed to be aesthetically skilled but this is truly wretched.
>>724270770Is there a reason every single thread for this game has such a passive aggressive OP?
>>724290406The game itself is an exercise in passive aggression against straight white men
>>724290568So this is just some /pol/ schizo that got bored of ukraine war thread 100001 and decided to shitpost here as a break?
>>724277828I don’t want to consume propaganda
>>724290406Designed for maximum shitposting traction, just to get the word out for marketing value. There's no sign that OP has actually played the game, and if he has, he doesn't give enough of a fuck to talk in depth about the game. A bunch of the shitposting is so context free that I'm convinced that it's botted, from the usual suspects. Even back when Indiana jones was released, it was blatantly obvious that the thread makers hadn't played it because it required a raytrace card. Also MS morale has been down, and there's been cutbacks. It's pretty clear OW1 sold on NV's rep, and after OW1, and Avowed, this game isn't going to get the same benefit of the doubt.
>>724271397>npcs steal exp >can’t customize character body at all no way this game isn’t complete dogshit
the first one was boring to the point of being offensiveis this improved? i see shitgirl has a repack available
>>724271068>/v/ spends a year shilling ng4>its release was a literal mouse fart next to the stuff /v/ did overtime smearing like Silksong and Hades 2 kino timeline. reminds me when dragon's dogfeces 2 flopped while BG3 was a massive success.
>>724271397From what ive seen character building has a lot of interesting options. Kind of bummed it still seems super restrictive on how many skills you can level like the first did though. I know the fallout games got a bit goofy maxing literally everything but itd still be nice to have some more variety. Probably designed to manage most obstacles without having any skills though.
>>724291247The damage BG3's success did to shitposters on /v/ can never be measured. Thousands pprobably shat themselves to death in rage.
>>724290639Nah. Nothing so interesting. Not even youtube shitposters trying to get anon to dig up clickbait for them. >>724291007Not really. If you play it, remember there's a genocide option.
>>724288136Who's we? >>724288537Based as fuck, but please keep your waifu away from me. I don't wanna go to jail.
>>724289351it costs 99 dollars to play right nowfor that insane price its a pretty high amount playing which is grim
>>724287871Number of rich superfans is proportional to number of fans. I'm not sure if his multiplier is right, but it's pretty predictive. It's quite a safe bet that this shit isn't doing OW1 numbers.
>>724287340Hold, up. Lets calibrate your taste. Give an example of a complete shit AAA game or two. Preferably single player. And you played OW1 and avowed, right?
>>724287340wow that is fucking ugly
>>724281186>black bull in front and center>other man is half obscured and shorter than the womenLol
>>724291540>>724291247I know you fucks are desperate for damage control but at least try to keep your composure. I liked BG3. The shitflinging over gay bearfucking was hilarious. That doesn't mean that this game is getting any of my money.
>>724295582who said anything about OW, dude? I'm not buying that turd either.
>>724275147The main quest is good, i just stay away from all the side stuff.
waiting for game pass, right now its just the paying 100+ dollars like an idiot editionstill like 2.5 days left to go, which ill be playing for sureim not expecting a good game, most game pass games are terrible
pic relatedobsidian is really a shit developer, first game was so bad and everyone STILL is coping, after avowed
Crack status?
>>724295582See, like I said, irreperable damage. Cant help but act defensive at the drop of a hat.
i piratedits nice a lot better than the first game but fucking hardware hungry as fuck
>>724295848What a chump. It's already available. >>724296092You're a day late. The Teknote one is twitchy about saves if you're not in administrator mode. >>724295769The OP? What thread are you in?
So, do the Shotguns still suck? Because they were ass in the previous game.
>>724270770Does the game forces you accept companions or can you reject / kill them and play fully solo?
>>724296470not gonna waste time pirating it when itll get patched after the weekend due to how buggy and broken it is repeatedly crashing during reviewer's videos trying to review the gamealso playing other games atm
>>724296508It's one of the few areas where the game is actually OK. You can go full genocidal, and that includes companions, and selling out companions to factions that hate them in a few places. Game is ass though in the same way their last two were, so I don't recomend it..
>>724296508>Does the game forces>does forceslearn english ranjasheet
>>724296660its basically fallout new vegas in space with a radio playing songs from the 70s and all
>>724296508>>724296660Actually I don't think you can kill Valerie the Robot.
>>724296721Except with shit writers in the Avowed and OW1 sense. Nothing like Joshua Graham in this game.
>>724296474shotgun is the only decent weapon noweverything else feels weak against spongy enemies
I barely remember what was the first one about. There was a jeet companion, then at the end we raided a big ship. These two facts remained in my mind.
>>724289351Its fucking hilarious that stream bait indie games outperfom AAA wokeflops. I had more fun with megabonk than borderlands 4. I had more fun with leathal company than flopfield. If you want to make millions all you need to do is make a streambait concept wich is a clone of the current thing and a add a twist.
I'm excited for it. I really enjoyed the first one and everyone says the sequel improves on everything and is better. /v/ just has shit taste.
>>724281150I think they were trying to one up the slow mo kill cam from FNV by giving companions ults but it turned out to be very lame.
>>724273594Robert Nesler who was Art Director of the Pillars games got promoted to be studio Art Director, and the people who are now Art Director for Obsidian games are a bunch of incompetent fools. Goes to show the woes of modern game development where the competent gets squeezed out of power.
>>724297601>I really enjoyed an aggressively mediocre gameThat does not speak well of you.
>>724270770I preordered the first game simply because I thought it will be like New VegasI will not make this mistake again
I really enjoy my stealth build
>>724281186If these people can get jobs designing characters in video games there's hope for me yet, clearly you don't need any skill whatsoever.
>>724297601Make up your mind for yourself, stop believing what other people tell you and stop doing things for the purpose of spiting others. Take control of your life.
>>724277392>why make the camera headbob when you can instead make the entire world headbob genius
>>724297601As someone who normally doesn't shit on everything like the /v/ hivemind, I absolutely found OW1 boring as sin, and outright inferior to games that it was trying to ape. I did the gamepass $1 special deal specifically to try it before I bought, and honestly, I wouldn't even play it for free. Dodged a bullet for sure.A stopped clock is right twice a day, and /v/ is right on this one. It fucking sucked.
is melee still OP?
>>724300253its aight
>>724272430better than the first one where flaw system was "take more X damage for 1 perk point"?
Games got more RPG aspect >find random item>opens up dialogue and quest ending and rewards
Guys, I love to shit on Obsidian just as much as anyone else. But try not to be dishonest, please, most if not all of the gameplay videos in this thread are from the first game...
they need to fix the HO RR IBLE performance
>>724301550It really needs a day 1 patch
Oh boy more short haired androgynous girlbosses to tell me what to do! My favorite!
>>724301716the final devs should release their ue5 branch
>>724279676TOW is insanely bland, the writing was atrocious, and nothing mattered.The zones were UGLY to look at, and the style is dogwater
>>724272669>I'm a huge shill of the first one and i loved it.How>It has the most boring prologue i've played in my life, Like the literal first one?
>>724277375>Where do publishers find the confidence to release garbage like this and charge premium price for it?That's what Nintendo has been doing for the last 20 years and they still have a cult following.
>>724273628The original only ran badly for me because I downloaded It from here and was infected with a bitcoin minerMaybe that was your case too
>>724281186>>724270770The problem with open world space sloppa is that open world games want to give a lot of customization options for their players in order to dress up their "immersion".Spacesloppa does this, by breaking cohesive stylistic choices, and offers every variant of fucking space, from space empire, to starwars, to startrek, to space world truckers, etc and its fucking DOGSHIIIIIITThe best space games pick a stylistic choice, and stick with it for the universe. This over encompasses the entire game in a way open world sloppa cannot.Pic related, an actually good space game because it's not open world, has well defined stylized world setting and art, and takes you through a somewhat decent story.Outerworlds, Starfield just like space as setting hits a scope creep.its all made up bullshit, all of it. So they end up piling in every type of space content ever in a goulash hodgepodge turning it into directionless slop.
I just cant immerse myself into the story when every character dialog is them acting smirk, condescending and having to end a sentence sounding passive aggressive or as a joke. Would be fine if it was one or two characters acting that way, but no everyone.
>>724270770No one came out of the first game thinking "I want more of this"
>>724302229>Marvelshit
>>724302595Yes, that's how dogshit spacegames as a genre tends to be. Especially in the AAA field where everything ends up mixed in because it's harder to tell someone no in a boardroom where "But its space, anything can be possible!" mouthdroolers exist
>>724301550>>724301716there is no fixing that can help UE5 slop on the console branch
>first few hours of the game happen on a very linear space with barely no performance issue>reach the open world section of the game and the fps go to shit>no reviewer mention thisthey just play 30 minutes and praise this slop
>>724303206the finals and arc raiders is ue5 and it runs great
reminder that borderlands 4 runs at 480p on ps5 lel
>>724303607BADERS
>>724301793ok, now explain how this doesn't apply to starfield
>>724303958It does but it's way less worse in Starfield because you can actually go around in space and do things like space ship battles, or build a custom space ship. There's much better hubs and it's still generic sci-slop that isn't painted neon pinkle because of a soda company
>>724303482Arc raiders looks awesome and how well it runs was genuinely amazing. I was expecting to get a solid 30 or something from how horrible games have been and since the game looks so good but I was able to get a solid 70 on high on my old busted ass 1070.It just proves all these AAA devs are unhyperbolically filled with diversity hire blue hair trannies and jeets who have zero clue on how to actually code or make a game.People blaming UE5 for being shit always reminded me of people who blamed bethesda's creation engine, like bethesda's coders weren't just inept retards nigger rigging everything who were outclassed by literal nobodies making mods in their spare time or people completely remaking their engine like with openmw.
>>724304484uhh you do know the finals arc raiders dev have their own ue5 branch where nvidia helped
Woketrash garbage doa dei slop.
Bros are flaws worth it? I really want both Lucky and Suave but I don't wanna be Sickly..
>>724304639>Suave and sicklyNobody has ever rolled this combination before in life, and I wouldn't count suave people on their deathbeds with the backing of the entire national media otherwise FDR would apply.
>>724270770It's good. From what I've played>There's a bunch of ways to enter buildings and a lot of collectibles and secrets everywhere that give you free bonuses, when you get the boots that let you double jump it's worth jumping and climbing all over the place to see what you can find>It generally does not pay to be a jack of all trades, you flat out can't be good at everything and you will inevitably miss some checks>Most of the flaws significantly impact gameplay, the Flawed trait where you get an extra perk but are forced to take all of the Flaws can easily turn the game into a clusterfuck, especially if you pick the flaw where you have no control over your dialogue options>Hard gives a decent challenge without being overly frustrating. You can die very easily especially if you didn't invest in Engineering or Medicine>Crafting is generally pretty useful and can save you a ton of money, there is no reason to not just loot everything you find because even if you have no use for it you can always break it down into something useful>From what I've seen so far, Medicine is one of the most used checks, but I don't know if it's frontloaded >Story is okay, it is generally a little bit more serious, the main enemy faction brainwashes people into obeying their religion and hate capitalism >Plenty of skill checks everywhere, not just in dialogue, some of them are based on perks you select, others are from skills, and others are based on you collecting certain information or having a certain companion with you
>one of the unique weapons is a giant grinder that fires tumors which you can eatPure kino
>>724304731Its a huge improvement over the first gameAlso you got a radio under journal FYI
>>724304857Yeah I noticed that too, the radio also has custom songs and jingles made for this game, it reminded me of the radio from Fallout only it's all original
How are Obsidian so bad at creating companions? They have an almost flawless record of bland, boring blobs.
>>724304936Immediate New Vegas mood from this, though i feel i might've butchered my build going lucky and speech checks onlySeems there are a ton of engineer, medical etc checks
>>724304705Leper King had rizz
>>724304959They lost a lot of talent over the years.
I didn't even know they were making a second one, much less that it came out.
>>724270770>Digimon game comes out>I really want it>my brother convinces me not to get it because we're barely managing to keep ourselves fed even when pooling our money>he remembers this is coming out in a couple of days and decides to get it>$110 dollaridoosWe were already eating minute noodles for dinner.
>>724304959Because the writing is dogshit. .>Start outer worlds >Make joker based character>Save scum in elevator before meeting the mayor of first city >Shoot mayor outright killing him after being insulted >Parvati decides to join me, a complete stranger, in murdering the mayors bodyguards >After I just murdered the mayor in cold blood Infront of her >Of the city she grew up in Absolute dog wash but to make it worse she comes up to me going ">WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!"As if she didn't just join in the needless massacre with me, but obsidian provided me with an even more retarded out >[Low IQ check] sorry Im too retarded and can't help myself from killing people >"Aww okay! I understand being frustrated sometimes but that's not an excuse! Just don't do it again okay?" Like what in the fuck is this dogshit and people expect you to take Parvati seriously because she had a heckin asexual representation date where the MC plays second fiddle. Lmao
>>724270770I don't understand how Obsidian ever got popular, these guys make games for no one. Is there really an audience out there for stuff like PoE, Avowed, TOW? Who are you people purchasing this? Why? I can see the appeal of BioWare/Bethesda/CDPR/Larian/Owlcat, they make games that are fun and result in a lot of people loving the characters, drawing fanart, writing fanfictions, making mods for them, etc. But Obsidian is just so soulless and offensively boring. I can sort of see the appeal of New Vegas because of the good radio music and the cool cover art, but the rest, it's gotta go. Obsidian has just got to go.
>>724305165Why would your brother do that when outer worlds is on game pass and he'd likely never play it past this next month. Surely he could've just got gamepass for November and then both of you could play games on the pass
>>724304731My only criticisms from playing are>NPCs that aren't your companions can killsteal enemies, for example in the Crabble cave if you hack the remaining bot to fight for you, if it lands the finishing blow you don't gain XP. Most of the enemies don't give you a lot of XP anyways but it's still annoying>You can't swim, if they needed an excuse for you not being able to swim out of bounds just have the tide sweep you back or something>There's a minor bug where a "no" icon pops up near the names of certain NPCs, I have no idea what triggered this (presumably it involves some quest), it isn't a huge deal but it flares up my autism >Because it's Unreal Engine I get the Fatal Error crash from time to time>If your character has a beard certain helmets you wear that should still show your beard, do not>A few of the jokes don't land but it isn't a huge deal, the game in general is a bit more serious anywaysOh also you can play in third person now, which is nice. The companions so far are okay, nothing really special but they don't annoy me and are useful enough. They get different looking armor when you level up enough
>>724288330Exactly. What I hate isn't a game having no romance, what I hate is the hypocrisy. Because in the case of these games it only ever means>no romance - for you, straight maleyou still get to experience the devs bashing you over the head with all their tumblr fanfiction dialogue and quests, like they somehow were afraid that despite everything, a player could accidentally find anything appealing about their ugly ass characters and needed to make extra sure that doesn't come to pass.
Why are there only 3 negative traits to choose from, couldn't they have given us more variety to match how many positive traits there are???Also one thing I loved about NV was the massive amount of firearms and ammo types to choose from, does OW2 at least have more firearms to choose from than the first? I was so let down by how few guns OW1 had...
>>724273936Now I know you are lying. I barely could get 40fps on my 1660s and had severe drops on the first city when I played the original.
>>724305081they never had any to begin with, the woke wave is going to kill the company lel
>>724305367The new loot was so shitYou basically saw everything there was to offer by the end of the first world And instead got useless >Laser cutter MARK 3 ooooo HIGHER STATS AND IT LOOKS IDENTICAL
>>724289351Yeah because to play it now you have to pay 100 dollars for early access, yet it's still that high up
>>724301550>he STILL doesn't have an X3D in the year of our lord 2025
>>724305489Actually it's free anon, no need to spend 100 bucks :)
>>724305549i do and i can only play this game with framegen in the open world and main city
>>724270770It's not out yet. Why would I give a free tip to Microsoft just to play a singleplayer game early?
>>724305549How outdated is my 7800X3D by now
>>724305564We're talking about Steam not all players
>>724271068how embarrassing
>>724270770Why would anyone want to play this shit after the first game?
>>724275602>those janky twitchy console pad movementi will NEVER be able to understand how can people play games on a pad and have fun.
best build?
>>724305549I'm still on a 5600 and honestly with how badly optimised everything is I'm glad I never upgraded. I'll get am5 in two years when it's as cheap as it should be.
So uhm... Kotor 1 or Kotor 2?
>>724304857>Its a huge improvement over the first gameWhat so the women aren't all ugly dykes? Skills/perks or whatever they called them actually matter instead of you being able to do everything?
>>724276089Kino.
>>724305320>You can't swimNot only can you not swim, there's no warning of it. When you try to find out if the game has swimming you just instantly die.
>>724281186>front center - a nigger with a prostetic>a woman in a green hijab>a gay brown dude>a frying pan faced nigger with cankles and heart on her knees>a short haired emo lesbianOH YEAH ITS MODERN WESTERN GAMING TIME. >western developers are terrified of women with long hair now, 0 western games have long haired women nowYES, LONG HAIRED WOMEN ARE NATZI!NO LONG HAIR ALLOWED
>>724271068Disingenuous.1: this is only for the mega preorder pay more to play the game 3 days early2: many people will be buying it on another platform3: the game is $70, but it's on gamepass so a lot of people will play it on there and not buy it
>>724306090Kotor 1 if you love Star Wars, Kotor 2 if you don't.
>>724306208gamepass is a God-send when it comes to these shitty trash western games.>no need to pirate, day 1 access>its fucking shit>uninstall>the company goes bankruptgamepass is the darwinism of games now.
>>724306094Better gunplay, a lot better RPG
>>724275804It really is a fallout 3 successor
>>724302014>That's what Nintendo has been doing for the last 20 years and they still have a cult following.Good you said that, because indeed witchcraft is at hand.
>>724306090Both are kino in their own way
>>724306467Next time you guys play vidya pay close attention to checkerboard floors. They are everywhere, especially in AAA games.You get addicted through witchcraft.>anon might say I don't believe so it doesn't affect meThat's exactly where they want you. Playing and playing in willful ignorance to the end, soul goes to hell forever. Mark 16:16 KJVHe that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
>>724306512Combined with flashing lights and music you get mesmerised.
>>724276159kek, this is great
>>724306481>>724306090Cool, i'll start with 2 since it actually supports 2k
>>724297869
Protector are fascist? They straight up communist.
I kinda liked the first planet, but the second one with the order is losing me really fast
>>724306843Honestly they’re a mix of a bunch of things. They flat out hate capitalism but their uniforms give off a fascist aesthetic, they are also dogmatically religious
>>724305245yeah they are honestly just terrible at their job. I don't understand how they don't feel embarrassed releasing shit like this. I was playing with the Protectorate companion in OW2 and when he joined me as a companion he warned me that he would leave if I attacked his protectorate buddies or did something against his beliefs. Then I walk into his most holy museum where the ashes of their mother founder are and I just take the ashes and kill everyone. It's not even that they don't know what I'm doing, the devs even gave him a voice line when I was taking something from one of the museum cases. So how on earth do you not handle the fact that I also murder every single person and take your holy founder ashes? Then later I randomly see a few protectorate "subjects" and one hostile npc and he had a problem with me killing those. Zero logic, zero sense.
I just hope my 5800x3d and 7900xtx can keep up with the game. Probably not though.
So far it seems to be better than the first game.They actually listened and toned down on the milenial meme writing.
I just started my first planet and I'm out of bullets inmediately in the crab cave. Wtf is this shit? Where's the ammo shop?
i saw that only one of the companions is white so i chose to not even download for free.
>>724307815>They actually listened and toned down on the milenial meme writing.If that is true I am genuinely surprised. The first game was so fucking pretentious when they did right a sensible character halfway through her quest chain she just abruptly becomes a conspiracy nut to balance out the previous mentioned sensibleness.
>>724281186>new vegas in space: concord edition.is the robot also trans?
>>724306090The game that doesn't have "schizo old lady yells at clouds" as the story
>>724305406I still hold a place in my heart for KotOR2 and Mask of the Betrayer and Alpha Protocol and New Vegas. I have accepted that the company that made those games is dead.
this is one of those games you can just instantly tell is slop without even playing it or watching gameplay
>>724274016>>724274560iirc same average amount of buyers as anthem pre full release. So either they buy them themselves for pr, or they have a dedicated 10-100k of sloppiggies who'll buy anything obsidian shits out.
>>724307750barely 60fps at 1080p anon with dlssyeswith
>>724307879you can literally and i mean it kill ALL companions and just play on your own
>>724270770only thing I remember about outer worlds 1 was the snark ship and the fact I couldn't make a white character becaus of some bs about the de-frosting blacking me permanently. Can you now be white in this game or are you consigned into being indian again?
>>724272669It doesnt have a vitiligo option in the character creator
>>724308393yes but i like companions in games like this. its just a red flag is all. plus the first game was like a solid 4/10 that wasted my time.
>>724308373well dlss will be an issue for the 7900xtx
>>724308475wait a couple days theres gonna be mods to change their models 100%
>>724308538oh lmao well fsr 4 then or 3
>>724308538You've got 24 gigs of VRAM. You don't need an upscaler.
>>724277828Be quiet, libtard. Nobody wants lecturtainment. When you can't talk to an NPC or do a quest without feeling someone's trying to force something down your throat, I ain't playing. Know the difference between a black character and a token black guy/minority.Arcade from New Vegas was a character. He just so happened to be a fag. Sergent Johnson from Halo was a character, he just so happened to be black.
>>724270770It looks fucking ghey so I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.
>>724308723reddit spacing
>>724308958Not an argument, but I accept your concession.
/v/ will definitely hate it because of all the women and brown people, but its actually been fun so far.Before you start calling me a shill, im playing a pirated copy. I'll die before i ever preorder any game
>turn on radio>new vegas style music>actual ads for ingame productscomfy
>>724275864Yo this gameplay is FIRE
Is this one 10 hours long like the original?
>>724309231Watched my friend play it and it seemed good outside of the writing. I feel like it's hard to care about anything in this setting when everything is just corpo and anti corpo shit.
>>72430963620-40
>>724277375Bloodlines 2 isn't an RPG at all. It's half bad visual novel walking sim and half bad DIshonored clone.
>>724270882can you genocide every npc including rick and morty guy?
>playing the first mission>reach the part where shit goes wrong and both your party members get wounded>your only options are to tell the guy who is mortally wounded and missing an arm to look for the other party member or escape and leave her to die>no option to tell the wounded guy to evacuate while you stay behind to look for the missing oneThis is weird. I either let the guy on a suicide mission while bleeding out or dont even bother looking for the girl and leave her to die.
why aren't you playing diverse girlboss simulator?
>>724308723>Sergent Johnson from Halo was a character, he just so happened to be blackRetard his blackness was part of his charm. That's like saying Coach just "happened to be black" fuck me you guys really just spout lines like an npc huh?
>>724271202>the hot white girl that's part of your crew gets killed right off the bat tooCalled this as soon as she was shown
>loading screen 5 minutes each time
>>724270770Reviewers said "more of the same" and that's enough for me to not even consider pirating it.
>>724270770I really like what they did so far.>Added multiple radio stations with music based on the faction making the radio (ex. All of the corpo radio songs are advertising)>Got rid of carry weight so you can hoard all the crafting materials food you want>quick button you can press to eat food outside of combat to automatically refill your health, making food way more useful as a method of reducing health pack consumption>Perception being able to find secret doors and notice small tics in people during dialogue is cool>Companions now have their own upgradeable armor and weapons rather than just equipping generic stuff you find (and you can swap between their two upgrade paths at workbenches) My only complaint so far is that I’ve already ran into a bug that breaks a major questline and prevents me from getting one of the companions so I’m waiting for that to get fixed before I keep going.
>>724272669the game doesnt look amazing but posting a screenshot of you playing it on your fucking gtx 1060 or something with 1080p and upscaling is kinda irrelevant
>>724310096The reviewer I saw say it was good went off on a tangent about how much he loved the first one and starfield so I knew it had to be bad.
>>724270770>Wokeslop anyone? No thanks
>>724309962That character is literally a sad middle manager who wishes she could be a cool pilot but gave up because she doesn’t have the aptitude for it.
The Outer Goblinas was so terrible and shallow that there is no way I would even consider spending money on The Outer Goblinas 2. I watched a few minutes of a Let's Play and my thoughts were confirmed The Outer Goblinas 2 is more of the same. The women are all butch, manly looking dykes with husky voices. The same woke pro-marxist propaganda in the game -- Religion bad, white people bad, men bad, capitalism bad.
>>724310402retard
>>724270972Yeah mechanically it seems serviceable and you can feel the higher budget but the game world is so one note and uninteresting to explore I simply feel no motivation to play it. They do a terrible job setting up the first planet, it's just some place where your macguffin mystery sends you. You have no real reason to care about any of your surroundings.
>>724310402the female power fantasy of the feminists working at obsidian is so on the nose in the second game that it takes you out of the experience because you are non stop cringing. its so extreme that it makes you actually feel bad for how retarded women are
>>724310556the exploration rewards you a lot tho
>>724308549And good day to you too, sir. Unreal Engine 5 is dog shit. Thanks for your attention. I won't be buying any game made on that crap engine until it is fixed.
>>724310402They accidentally made bottom rightmost sorta cute.
>>724310071>Using a 5400rpm hdd in 2000 + 25

>>724310402In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only dyke haircuts
>>724270770
>>724271397Every time I play one of these games I try a melee build. It's so difficult
5080 7800x3dThis game needs framegen at 4k medium settings to reach 90ish fps
>game craches after every 30 minutes or soAt least i didnt pay for it i guess.
>>724311042the intro is literally dyke haircut squarejaw white woman girlboss slapping white man to calm him down
reminder to create a save game folder because otherwise the gamedoesnotsave
>hate the art style>hate the design>hate the color composition>cringe characters>cringe conversations>cringe world buildingWhatever good game mechanics it may have, they buried them in a turd.
>>724309961Means you built your character wrong in the beginning of the gameI had Val take him back to the ship
it all makes sense now
>>724310601I'm sure it does, but I don't want to explore because the worlds don't feel believable and they're just ugly to look at. I don't care about an rpg for rpg's sake the game world has to hook me. I saw this as someone who has total anti-woke fatigue and wanted to give the game a chance after playing the first one
>>724311391>>724311391>because the worlds don't feel believable and they're just ugly to look atare you still playing the first game by chance?this doesn't apply to the 2nd at all
It mogs New Vegas from what I've seen
>>724311467yea
>>724311467(You)
>zebulon
>>724306208How many fucking times do you need to be told a gamepass play doesn't count as a sale? Especially when people uninstall after less than a few hours, also also considering gamepass subs are fucking abysmal right now, most only people use gamepass when microshit begs them back with a one month free trial. I swear I've had like 10 free months over the course of gamepass' existence and Microsoft has never seen a fucking dime from me for it. The gamepass model is so fucking retarded and unsustainable, I cannot believe you fucking shills keep bringing it up to this day sespite microsoft axing studios left and right despite all of them utilizing gamepass. Face it faggot, obsidian doubled down on cringe rick and morty shit and Phil is about to take it out back and leave it for dead in a ditch with a hole in it's head for their error.
>"A massive improvemenet over the first game! For the first 20 hours of gameplay we've got">*Checks notes*>Humans, eyebots, giant grabs and tiger enemies.>Have fun with this great and ambitious sequel!
>>724311748You also need framegen for good enough frames
>>724270770Idk. The first one had dogshit graphics, dogshit story, BUT it's one of the very few games that allowed me to kill absolutely everyone and still complete the game.Hopefully this one does the same.
>>724311792it doesis has more exploration way better combat way more rpg stuffa bit less cringey dialogue
>>724311792I think there is like 1 person and a couple in the tutorial you can't kill. Otherwise go nuts and get that serial killer trait.
>>724281186This is absolutely disgusting to look at, I'd rather have no companion then have to deal with any of this shit, what the fuck is wrong with these characters?
>>724312161Is it though
>>724311419I've played both and I mean what I say, I liked the set up in the first game a lot more and the starting planet made a better impression on me. Maybe I'm just not in the mood for a game like this right now
I wonder how Outer Worlds got a sequel. I can only imagine that the studio is so cost efficient that they were greenlit because the game is so cheap to produce that they're bound to turn a profit. Why else would Outer Worlds 2 be allowed to be made?
>>724312253i get you story had a sense in 1in 2 the story just starts with "uh bad woman wanted to make black hole yeah anyways 10 years later or something"
>>724312329Making smaller games for a more niche fanbase? How dare they. It's AAAA and 500 milllion dollars minimum allowed.
>>724281186I don't get it. Why are they all human? It's a space game, give me at least one robot companion and maybe some barely sentient alien we can talk to thanks to TECHNOLOGY and ethically dubious experimentation. Where is the creativity?
>>724312198Absolutely, I hate their fucking gaudy outfits, I hate their color schemes and the sheer amount of fucking visual noise throughout their whole design, I hate that they look like they were chosen entirely by diversity point values, the kind of team that makes characters this ugly from a visual design stand point would inevitably lead to characters who are hollow petty and just plain boring to talk to, on every level am I disgusted at these things, a complete fucking mockery of the concept of an RPG video game companion.Even the fact that someone was paid to make these things disgusts me.
>>724312501You might need a time off
>>724312329Obsidian's name still carries enough weight for now. Guess we'll see how much of their audience still remains.
>>724312431>Making smaller games for a more niche fanbaseYou are so fucking disingenuous, it's unreal. Outer Worlds 1 is the definition of Mediocre. It's painfully average at best with nothing interesting going on.
>>724312329It sold over 5 million.
>>724311145>>724311129I have a 5080 and the game runs fine. You guys are just poor.
>>724312471There's a "not ED-E" companion you have right from the start
>>724312471There is a robot companion that you start with, just not pictured.
>>724312329I imagine the original game sold because people badly wanted a new Elder Scrolls to play, I'm expecting this to sell significantly less because people already played the first one, I played the first one, this game doesn't even interest me at all.
>>724312567>fineDefine "fine" anonI need FG 2x dlss performance at high settings 4k no HW RT for this to run at 120ish fpsWithout FG this piece of shit runs at low 80s
>>724312471>give me at least one robot companionLiterally one in the image you didn't look at. Almost as if you just want to bitch and cry about something.
>>724312551Explain to me what part of a game being mediocre that means it can't have a smaller budget and be made for a smaller audience.
>have 0 points in medical>80% checks in dialogue or objects is medicalFUCK SAKE MAN
>>724312650nta but the robot companion is behind everyone, it looks like a backpack or part of the background.
>>724312650NTA but that blended within the background. I didn't notice it, either.
>>724311340>girl to the right of the cheeseSexo
this game is leagues better than vtmb 2 btw
>>724312570>>724312606I still think 3 out of the 5 designs look like NPCs. The other two look alright.>>724312650It just looks like they spent the least amount of effort possible. Sure, having some generic people in your party is fine and all but damn, these people look boring.
I'm a shitty gamedev and games like this always make me feel bad because it's probably about the level I'd be able to achieve even if I aspired for more
>>724270770avowed > tranny vegas > the outer worlds
>>724312939stop being woke then
>>724312973I was going to end with "at least my game wouldn't be woke though" but decided not to bother. Guess I should have
>>724271068>>724289351>2025>paying for a microshit game>paying for a day one gamepass gameWhy are steamfags so fucking retarded?
>>724312942>Avowed>better than New VegasCome on man. I played both. Never finished Avowed because it was written like shit. I just didn't care about the story or the world at all. The gameplay was mediocre too
>>724313013This game is genuinely pretty good besides the woke part. It's just hard to care about an rpg about choices if you don't care about your choices when everythings woke.
>>724312942based and correct
>>724291247Kill yourself, dirty nigger
>>724310143There's no reason for a game looking like this to not run on a 1060 anyway.
>>724308723I'm more okay with someone who isn't White making lecturetainment. It's annoying, but it's not the same when it's made by a White (usually liberal or leftist). There's something so pathetic about White people trying to lecture other White people. I think all White people who do this should be forced to live around non White people. They should be forced to live in bad areas and be banned from anything majority White. I have zero respect for these kinds of White people.
>>724305549Yeah, I'm not switching my mobo or RAM for this slop, or buying the highest end CPU for that matter. Nice frametime btw.
>>724271397>you can just leave a room and hostiles don't follow>Enemies having infinite grenades>they are immune to their own explosions>NPCs can killsteal youBad gamedesign even in basic thingsHow come games from the 90s had this shit thought out and modern ones don't?>De Vries is actually kinda hotOh yes, I'm sorry, the bone is thrown, you like the game now
Obsidian must return to their CRPG roots
>>724313394that's a cool map
>>724287871I'll save your post :)
My game runs fine but THE LOADING SCREEN IS 5 MINUTES EVERY TIME AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
>>724313394for me, it was drug addicted homeless senior
>>724313561On a HDD, right?
you insta die if you fall into water lmao
>>724313394luv pillars, simple as
>>724270770The Outer Worlds 1 was so bad that I chose the bad guy faction just so I could speedrun killing all the annoying characters and ending the game as quickly as possible. It's like a parody of a videogame, a fake nothing game that gets played in the background of a TV show or something
>>724272669>I'm a huge shill of the first one and i loved it.I simply do not believe you.
>>724279648Probably upon releaseGonna be some good cope coming out trying to defend this trash
>>724313692Right?!
>>724313805everything about that image is cringe
Unironically lacks diversity
>>724288136this only applies to romance meant for straight males, especially when it comes to obsidian
>>724305250Obsidian made KOTOR2, Fallout NV, NWN2 and Alpha Protocol, games known for flawed and buggy gameplay but exceptional writing and character building. Problem is that the Obsidian that made those is long gone and the new Obsidian wears it like a skinsuit.
Genuinely the worst game I've played all year. Other than combat there's ZERO improvements over the first. I'd even say the first one is better as at least I managed to finish that one. Do not waste your money on it and just laugh at me for wasting mine.
>>724310402>literally only ONE female with medium length hair>everyone else has dangerhairsalso the artstyle, everything looks like a battle royale knockoff, I'm so fucking tired of games not having a style of their own
>>724272893The funny thing is you know a man on HRT made this just from the colours.
>>724285087>looks like the second is doing even betterProof?
>>724270770It's just boring. Niles isn't bad but he's not unique either, just your typical lawful good character.
>>724281186holy shit this is bad
>>724314774Not OP but it's reviewing well, but so did the first. Genuinely give it a week after launch and people will see that it's barely an improvement over the first.
shooting is way better
>>724291247>>724271068you ARE /v/ ya pinheads

>No homage to the Ranger or riot suites Into the trash, just like the first game
>>724279648Poor timing will be the excuseBattlefield 5 season starts tomorrow, arc raiders on thursday and then COD not long after that
Nice to see the people who worked on Corcords character design already found jobs elsewhere
>>724270770Do science builds get better? I just finished the first planet and it was a slog.
>>724316329engi medic is better
The main thing that pissed me off about the first one was 6 or 7 dialogue options that give the same responseThey were trying to dunk on fallout 4's wheel but failed to even do that
>>724316198>Hey Shaquan, I need you to make me the most generic uninspired UI for our goyslaves>Shieet got 'chu senpai, whippin dis one up right now
>>724316482this game has more dialogue then combat
>>724316198>ran an SMT protag through a "turn to 3d model" AI
>>724304959Obsidian feels like a company where everyone actively does not want to be there and actively does not want to be doing the work they're assigned. HR Committee design, derivative, soulless, by the books, checklist design, joyless, boring, dull, tedious, tired, these are only some of the words and sensations that go through my mind everytime I play something they made post New Vegas. Even in the sloppiest of sloppy AAA trash releases you can find some ember of a spark of creativity or enthusiasm but every Obsidian rpg is this cold absence
>>724312329I think this is how Obsidian avoids being shut down. They make budget RPGs and then sell them to diehard Obsidian fans for full price.
>>724270770I was shocked by how much shittier it is than even the first >hour long pistol handholding basic mechanics/you will not permanently benh your nigger best friend tutorial >all before the tutorial planet >still no guns I've been playing for 6 hours and haven't seen a new piece of equipment since hour1, 5 minutes after stepping on to the first planet >New Vegas level range enemies bro! >damage isn't increased by weapon or equipment progression but by choosing "gun" for your skills to get +10% damage per perk point >the one machinegun on the first planet has the highest damage output by a factor of 10, just like last time. All builds invalidated >do cripple womans stupid kill quest>find secret door to basement of the bbeg's base >kill him for no in universe reason, apparently the only thing on the map was also evil ladies safehouse >check her computer, somehow triggers instant self destruct sequence on entire building that isn't hers>she can launch whole megastructure into space, but actually not space as stated in the overt rewrite it's going to land on 1 of the 2 whole NPCs places on this postage stamp of a map wawao >it's literally the edgewater nonsense again, but stupider >cripple girl who has had nothing relevant to say about killing all these space nazicommies for 3 hours suddenly pulls a privarti and REALLY cares about the company she quit 5 minutes ago for denying her workmans comp >drop it on the only other option not locked behind a character creator perk or putting 6 points into hacking (this is the first terminal/check it'd do anything) >task failed successfully connecting quests that were going to quirkily direct me to this twist that the evil base was in an evil base This has been the most retarded, date bethesda sandbox I've ever played. Sirfield I kneel, you managed to have corner leaning.
>>724294845There's a second man somewhere in the picture?
Its on gamepass so there's a 90% chance it'll flop hard.Dont expect steamcharts to go above 20-25k
>>724316680I thought Tyranny had some atmosphere and spark to the setting, but it was so bare bones as a game with its share of shit elements too that it never went anywhere.POE in contrast felt very sterile top to bottom, even if the game was technically much more complete.
>>724316963>I was shocked by how much shittier it is than even the first>hour longyu get the first gun in the first 5 minutes retard
>>724281186why do they do this
>>724310402North Korean approved haircuts ahh photo
>>724305341... But the game doesn't have gay romance for the player either? The point is the player part. Not the sexuality part.
Can I kill all niggers and play solo?
It's a studio of Disney Adults lmao. This is a #1 perk of working at the company on thier careers page. It's who they want to attract. Lol, lmao even.
>>724317556you actually can yea
>>724303482those are heavily modified versions of the engine by devs who actually know what they're doingstock UE5 is garbage
>>724317301>hour long tutorial intro with a pistol >y...y...you get the pistol from the start tho! and then you get a lever gun... at the end of the hour long woops all fake choices linear hallway sequence. And after that... you use that lever gun until you leave the first planet if you want a rifle. Or wowee zowie you also got a free security baton, that surely doesn't suck and not have a lateral upgrade to a sword until the end of the next world, just get the perk to do cyberpunk2077 bullet deflection without the animation or the mechanics or the deflecting since you still take half damage!
>>724317685aight I'll give it a try
>>724317821you never went further than the landing pad did you
>>724317895i also pirated and i'm enjoying myself albeit the performance being very demanding
>>724317556>>724317895Your black rescuer is immune to bullets and main quest mandatory. It's like Barret but always there 4 u
>>724316039>same armor reskinned 5 timeslmao. gay vegas is so trash
>>724317921have you even played the game buddy? It's not good. First planet is a mess. It is everything that makes edgewater suck cranked up to 12 while set on monarch.
>>724318313you cooked this up with your 4chan discord "friends"?
It's genuinely insane how much the game plays into the Strong Woman - Weak Male divide writing.>Literal first cutscene is a whiny cowardly white male and his competent superior woman officer>Your first team is an unthinking male that toes the party line and an eager rookie while the sole woman is the free thinker that doesn't buy the propaganda>The male and female duo of soldiers guarding a jail consists of a male retard that thinks an armory might have gold and treasure in its vault and the female is a long suffering competent woman that just wants the guns>An incompetent male is bleeding out in a hospital and gushing about his female coworker that saved him who is the sole normal soldier showing humanity and initiative >The male mayor is a whiny snake oil salesman while the military female commander is a no nonsense competent type>the closest thing to a police chief is an incompetent man thinking ghosts are real and a female smuggler is running rings around himIt goes on and on and once I noticed it, I couldn't NOT notice it.
>>724318354rutracker actually, it's all a grand conspiracy to get as many people as possible to think the game is bad from actually playing it. You cracked the case retard. Have you even beaten the first planet? Because how could you call this not shit.
>>724318494ok
>finish tutorial and go to the first planet>FPS tanks and game runs like shit now
>>724281186Why do none of them look cool?
>>724318787Because looking cool is problematic, chud!Uncool people deserve to be heroes too!
>>724318493Sounds like the first game. Just woke enough to be annoying and force an eye roll, but not woke enough to be absurdist comedy. I'm still hoping for some woke kino, like the complete genocide of the white race as a mandatory story mission. Or how in the future everyone is gay, Jewish, and disabled. Is there a wheelchair companion with rocket boosters
>>724318493Thats modern western writing for you.90% of Netflix/Amazon/Disney original shows are exactly like that too.
>>724318839Every time...
>>724318896>see corpo goons talking to some commie peasant>join us! you can be a wagie too!>hmm, yes this free market thing sound like an interesting idea. I will consider it.>goons leave>HAHAH! STUPID CAPITALIST PIGS I WOULD NEVER JOIN YOU! PRAISE THE MATRIARCH>he walks into house>stab him in the back>liquify his corpseat least there's that
>>724318724Framegen, use dlss4, use preset k
i dont understand the factions or the storyat least its funi didnt pay for it
>>724318721>I bet u didn't even play it hasn't played it every time, every shit game with coolies on standby
>>724272669kinda same. I liked the 1st one but this time around I cannot justify how much it tries to have women and blacks everywhere instead of white men. It's absolutely inexcusable atp.
Inxile is the only rpg studio that xbox owns that is worth my time nowadays. Bethesda and obsidian have fallen off so hard.
>>724317442>... But the game doesn't have gay romance for the player either? The point is the player part. Not the sexuality part.Avowed had exclusively a companion romance with ONLY the faggot fish you dumb fuck!
>>724314774get ready for the "it's doing numbers on the gamespass sar" auto replies to anyone annoyed nu-obsidian managed to fuck up 3 RPGs in a row.
>>724314774none, just pure gaslighting for those desperately trying to defend woke slop. the same comments that came around veilguard and we know how that ended.
its a good game plagued with ue5 shit
>>724281186>realize you meet half the cast in the first 2 hours, then don't see the others for the next 10>there are only 4 of them you get to choose to recruit lol. How can they justify objectively less in a sequel?
>>724320518>plagued with ue5 shitwhat does that even mean?
>>724320717performance is crap
>>724277375I haven't bought any of those trash games and yet they're still getting made, gaming should've been gatekept more.
>people bought this game day onekek it's an Obsidian game, it'll be half off by December you'll be able to get it with all it's DLCs in a year or two for 20 bucks
>>724308452Wait. Did that actually happen? I don’t remember that.
>>724277375External funding from politicaly motivated groups with access to taxpayer dollars.
>>724305034He was also a Chad thundercock that made Saladin anus shut
>>724321062A chud making up retarded nonsense on /v/? unpossible.
>>724321062It was a visual bug with the lighting in the inventory screen that was never resolved. Nothing story related.
>>724318493>corpos somehow the adult in the room now, hearts and minds and buy your xbox services consoomer pilled >bad guys are fasci...>conducting fully automatic luxury space animal farm >also gayer, browner, and led by even more women than the corpos For a brief second I thought they might actually be trying to do something here. They didn't, but they almost could have.
>>724271202>the hot white girl that's part of your crew gets killed right off the bat tooPics? This makes me think of that airport video of stewardess being judged by ugly women.
>>724321062their UE4 monster machine had terrible proportions, massive arms stocky bodies, and the lightest skin textures were copper. It was also very preset dependent for hidden bones for skull shape (the 2nd one is too) so it would be impossible to turn most of the default options into John Worlds as the player intended. Literally impossible to make a waifu or BG3 female self insert for dress up either. You couldn't even make a chinese, japanese, or korean character (No skin tones, no skull shapes, no monolid slider) at all, but clicking random and it'd spit out a south east Asian just fine. Albiet with a pink goatee and cornrows.
>>724311770Your gtx1650 isn't going to cut it anymore anon.
>>724312706...SHUT UP
>>724321506The character he's referencing is a late 30's (or 40's) rough and tumble girlboss with a crewcut. she dies immediately for false stakes.
>>724321352Do the Protectorate have like bread lines or some shit? I noticed that all the corpos are eating preservative filled ultra processed food while the Protectorate have less food production since they're growing shit naturally but wondered if this was going to see Soviet style bread lines.
>>724322195who even knows man, this is making the iconoclast questline look like deep philosophy by comparison. Having the first map being led by a crazy guy you just kill seems like a structural copout to focus on evil individuals like dear leader ruining a system instead of the system. the corporations will probably do something firstgame retarded and mustache twirling though, even if they're reformed because of a previous "good" ending. The benne jesuit ripoff versus trusting the science lady you're trying to stop/probably can join might be the crude way they sidestep doing anything but safe-edgy political nhilism.
>>724322068Im the 5080 guy tho
It's a little entertaining that since the entire game isn't corpos, and it has a rival faction it needs to present the upsides to capitalism.
>>724302229I downloaded guardians for my nephew but I ended playing it myself l-lol...
>>724272669>>724275668looks like genuine vomit, what the fuck are they doing at obsidian, just make another desert game with bandits and real guns not this trash
>>724324842Must be super weird for you to see more than 1 side to something for the first time in your life.
>>724271068It would’ve been higher had Saarfield not ruin the experience.
>>724270770Oh yeah, it is stinky.
>>724274560>$30 a month>literally free
>>724298338I did the same thing but forced myself to beat the game. I'm happy it's failing, it was never worth the hype it had at launch.
>wants us to give a shit about the story and care about consequences of our actions>makes everything all quirk chungousyWell which is it?
how is this thread still up it was made on sunday. some sus post activity
I admit that I got baited by this game again, in my defense I didnt pay for ow1 because I got it for free on epic. So I didn't associate the slop with wallet pain. There is this naive hope in me that surely people must learn from their mistakes, surely they must have a soul, surely they wouldn't just make the exact same slop again. I mean human beings learn from their mistakes right? that's what makes us human no? yes?? But what I keep failing to realize is that people who make mistakes aren't even capable of seeing them.
>>724274560You mean>It's already cracked>Literally freeftfy
>>724326302>every faction is awful>PICK A SIDE!no, I don't think I will
>>724328087you will though, for gameplay reasons to see more lore or help yourself. Which means it will break your immersion because you just did something for the game for non-game related reasons
>>724326895how the fuck did you get "baited" unless you're a tranny?
>>724328592dude I even bought Pathfinder WOTR even though I absolutely hate these trash Owlcat games to the point where I put it down in disgust and never finished it. I'm starved for RPGs
>>724313394>>724313805pillars is from obsidian????I never forgive them when they killed Calisca!!!!
