weapons have tiers but they at some last minute point clearly stripped out a gun damage up for scrap resources system. Then proceeded to not balance any part of the game around static weapon damage. It is well and truly a piece of shit in just about every way it can be.

>>724371094
you are right though that this game made many of the systems worse. I finished OW2 and I don't think I slotted a single armor mod myself, ever. The good armor items that drop already have their single mod slot filled, I literally never needed any modding. And I only modded one gun with a fairly unfun laser scope that adds a bit of weakspot damage which I didn't feel at all.
>>
>>724371038
Nigger what in the fuck are you talking about, the Limgrave+Weeping Peninsula in ER has weapons, spells, and ashes of war that cover every build type, every stat, every damage type along with a variety of talismans and spirit summons and shit. Elden Ring is nothing like what he described.
>>
>>724371656
all of those weapons are almost identical in strength and irrelevant. Armor is totally irrelevant in Elden Ring. Ashes of war are mostly entirely unused in a normal playthrough, I didn't change my ashes of war in 60h, I played the entire game with sword of lords from the starting area and when i tried other weapons they all had the same damage and didn't even feel better so who cares. The talismans and stats are all just some +x% buffs, who cares? Even worse, none of it is properly explained. I have entire anti-Elden ring posts that shit on this game. Lore is non-existent in Elden Ring, quest lines basically don't exist or are mystery nonsense that no normal player will ever see, there are no dialogue options in this "rpg", and the list goes on and on and on.

You get one shot by protectorate soldiers on just hard mode, and I did literally every quest you can do before the final mission on world 1. Retarded balancing that forces you to play on lower difficulties or use a different build.

gun color rarity not being more damage, or anything, shows they stripped out gun upgrading and tiers at the very last minute. If this is how it plays now imagine how fucking terrible it was then for this to be the preferable gameplay experience.

The guys with hammers take more ammunition to kill than the 15ft battle mechs while also doing more damage, it's fucking retarded. You'd just die in a melee build because something is extremely broken in how damage mitigation is coded. It just doesn't work.

Not to praise the game, but just like the first you do have perks that benefit you from going alone, but they're largely optimized for glass cannon builds (lots of +damage), and you will have to be much more conservative with your heals.
I think that's the sort of shit that's gonna get patched pretty quick though.

Am I stupid or do some skills just stop unlocking perks early while others go all the way to 20?

Unless those 100 avoweds have ai in them, they are done.

>>724380702
Gamepass cancellations are through the roof after the recent price hike though. Nobody is going to pay 30 bucks a month to play slop like Outer Worlds. Just buy the games you want, it's cheaper and you get better games.

it literally isn't though? What the fuck are you talking about lmao

I'm like 20-30 hours into this game and I've only seen one off hand reference to anything LGBT related at all and its literally just one line of throw away dialogue between some refugees in a camp that happen to be gay.
You wouldn't even notice it if you didn't stand there and listen to them talk, and its just one of them calling the other "hun"

otherwise there's fuckall in the game that I think could be considered "DEI" or "Woke"

>I wonder how difficult a run where you take all flaws are.
Thats exactly what I've been dealing with because I thought it would be funny to take the flaw that forces you to take all future flaws, but in exchange you get an extra perk point every few levels or something like that

I had to savescum and reload an earlier save after getting Kleptomania though, that one was actually run ending. The way it works is whenever you hover over anything in the game there's like a 25% chance your character will just automatically steal it. After like 5 minutes of getting completely fucked by this I just said "nah fuck this shit" and reloaded to a save before I got that shit
>>
>>724381815
I wonder if they know that they can just pirate the game and actually try it out for themselves.
I think Outerworlds 2 is basically what I was hoping the first one would be, feels like this is the actual first game and the original was just a tech demo/proof of concept for this one.

Its not a 10/10 or anything, but I think this is a perfectly cromulent game so far and I have no major complaints, just a few little annoyances here and there but really nothing major.

It's just as bad as the first one on paper but the whole game is shooting giant melee animals, not people, so is worse to play. This is weaker than guns by like 25% off the rip, they don't know how to make fallout melee not that Todd does either. There though it's at least cracked.

anon you save two gay deserters from the clutches of a random le fascist(commie) lady to even get out of the starting zone on the first map. Well you did. I'd already shot one after shooting his captors on suspicion the other would be a dude based on the EVERYTIME use of the pipul word partner. When I found him while doing what would have been that commie ladies part of the quest if I hadn't shot her two it was a guy as expected because that's all the ideas a woke studio has for a game apparently. Doing this series of murder hobo's also broke the games sequencing over it's knee, so it isn't like it's all intentional or "choice" either.

The only difference is Obsidian somehow is more pretentious in their diction. They need to slap the thesaurus out of the woman's hand who replaced every other word with the longest one she could find in it's list of synonyms. if this does turn into having a coherent plot deeper than shoot bad lady it'll have beaten todd there at least. Gameplay wise this plays exactly as shittily as the first one does in gunplay but with a double jump, while sirfield plays exactly like fallout4 but with a jetpack.

>58 bullets at 39 damage a bullet = 2262 of just primary damage without the stacking electrocution DoT to not be dead yet
>3000+ health on normal difficulty while guns do 20-90 a shot
the difference in player damage output between just picking up the 1 total machineguns of the first 20 hours of the game and all other weapons is just stupid and yet it's the only weapon that might actually be balanced correctly. Weapons later in the weapon progression like the shock rifle have 25-50% less damage per ammo used than a gun you could get by crawling through a hole in the jail roof 20 feet from the landing pad.

The spacers choice LMG-HMG choice actually had some gameplay and the assault rifle (which you had) kept up with it in player hands. The weapon spread and balancing wasn't the problem last time, the problem was there were only like 8 guns and no meaningful visual progression. Now there's still no guns and they also play bad.

anon that's cope. I consoomed peril of gorgon I know what I'm talking about in the cope department. It's overwritten and the gameplay is comparatively worse. I like the vicar and doctor girl far more than any character I've seen. The iconoclasts were this villain but not completely stupid. The spade is still a spade and saying otherwise is just going to make people hate it more versus being honest that it's shit but you clawed some small element out of it. I like the ~40% of combat encounters where enemies actually can be taken down by my stealth perk investment. That doesn't mean I'm not annoyed 60% of the time my combat specialization doesn't provide gameplay.

Fallout 1 was made by a team of people not just Cain and that was back when he was younger and actually had aspirations in life and didnt blogpost about being a fat faggot on social media.
You cant make a game like Fallout 1 : 2 with just Tim Cain much like you cant make L4D2 : 2 with just 2 janitors who worked on the OG.
I also dont fucking understand how Sawyer is incapable of perceiving basic game design or story writing anymore.

>>724369378
*cool but crude
>>
>>724390245
I get what it is anon, but linking me to a slop knockoff of a TV tropes article doesn't actually make the game writing bad. You could point to a TV tropes article for basically fucking anything in fiction.

>>
>>724390615
>I get what it is
demonstrably not, overly verbose dialogue and indulgent sentence structure is a question of diction; diction that is loved by a subset of people who like it's author are deluded into assuming it elevates a work as clever when it instead is received as amateurish, base, and hackneyed.
the entire game is just this shit. To use another $12 word the first was not this indulgent
>>
>>724391112
if this was your attempt at using needlessly long words, you really didn't do a very good job.
Either way, as I said, the presence of a trope isn't automatically a bad thing and you're a bit retarded for thinking it is.
Again, TV tropes has an article like this about just about anything, this doesn't mean that literally all media is shit just because it involves tropes.
>>

We're at least in flanderization territory. the first was meta with it's corpo speak, now they just wrote a game like a slash fic. The problem of both is it's grating to everyone normal. The DLCs actually toned it down. They're also bad, but they at least relied more on scenarios than walls of tedious dialogue for dumb shit like that worm cult guy getting eaten in their pulp novel parody.
>>
>>724391634
>We're at least in flanderization territory.
Yes, its entirely intentional
>>
>>724391854
need to brush up on the movietropes for that, it's not intentional to become a caricature of your past writing. $100 boxprice Early access defender guy started here by claiming the writing was improved and now after writings been seen we're 10 posts deep arguing if it's only not worse. Playing the game I've numbed myself to the fact it's all uniformly incredibly cringe and just play through it. But talking about the game that's not something that anyone will overlook.
>>
>>724392243
I think this bothers you more than it would bother 95% of the people that play this game because they recognize that its intentional
>>
>>724392737
>only 5% of people who think it's a conscious choice think it also failed and was a massive misstep
"it's meta and carries a 50 hour playthrough multiple times" is a small pool of people to like the way it sucks. On /v/:whydoyoucaretho you're going to get deep shit talking about things that are bad, everywhere else "yeah the game sucks, pirate it to cringe" is all that needs to be said.

This is the kind of people writing modern videogames. I haven't thought about that before but it makes so much sense. BloodLines 2, Dispatch, God of War, Outworld 2 and every other redditor, unfunny, ironic, safe-edgy, shitty spineless, castrated games employ this manner of writing dialogue and characters and they're written BY PEOPLE LIKE THIS. Modern games are all filled with snarky, obnoxious, loud, insufferable characters and dialogue. There's absolutely no sincerity or heart in them because the devs are spineless soulless castrated pussies scared out of their mind to write something GENUINE because being real is CRINGE. Every line has to sound smirky, condescending to the player, YOU SEE SEE ISN'T IMMERSING YOURSELF WITHIN THIS WORLD CRINGE??? like every character knows they're in on the "joke" of being in a videogame. Because they think playing games is CRINGE, having actual characters believing in the world they inhabit is CORNY so they write the whole game around treating the player (you) like a STREAMER, not an actual person within the world. They need to check the CHAT to tell them how to react to a genuine work of artistic expression OKAY???

I have liked it so far. Progression matters a lot more, you can't be "good at everything" and you're going to inevitably miss some checks. There's a bunch of them, not only in dialogue, and they're also based on your perks, your traits, which companion you have with you, what information you have, etc. You can also play in third person now, they have their own radio stations with custom music and content, and the story generally seems more serious

I completed 1, 2 is an improvement but there are still issues with the game like the art style/graphics looking like ass, lack of enemy and weapon variety, the way perks working meaning you're going to end up having to focus on 3 out of 13 skills, most of the armor designs are fucking ugly as shit (not that you'll ever see them due to no VATS or 3rd person dialogue scenes)
The inventory is a soulless grid and still awful to navigate, being able to sort by DPS/Damage/Armor is literally the most basic functionality
The maps at least are engaging to explore now, they were completely generic and dull as fuck in 1, and guns feel okay
There's no girlboss ship AI or literal Rick this time either, but it has Fallout 4 level shitty factions

Fallout 3 was basically one giant open world map, besides inner and outer being split by the metro. Outer Worlds 1 and 2 are set across different planets and each planet has their own map, but in 1 the maps were pretty small, it'd take like 10 minutes to walk from one side to the other. There's also something incredibly boring about their design, all the space station levels felt the same, and the planets/moons after the first didn't really make you want to go out and explore. Fallout 3 had interesting locations and the vaults were all interesting to explore
As Outer Worlds 1 is its own game they couldn't copy VATS. Instead they implemented limited bullet time which means most of your combat was real time shooting/melee which felt horrible. Imagine playing Fallout without VATS
The setting seems cool on paper but the characters were written like puppets and didn't feel believable or alive, and the plot was the typical and boring
>Freedom fighter mad scientist (totally not Rick from Rick and Morty), wanted terrorist, wants to revive the giant colony ship and revive the greatest minds to further mankind
>Capitalist faction wants the giant colony ship to profit off it
The speech check dialogues were weak as shit as well, you just needed minimum speech and the hardest speech check by the end was like 8 so you could basically pass everything by level 10
All the companions were boring as fuck, the original writer of the jeet tomboy went on leave so she turns into a lesbian halfway through (kills herself if you kill her crush in front of her) and they somehow made the disillusioned battle priest not as interesting as he sounds
>>724419042

Much like the previous game or any of the 3d fallouts really - it just zooms in on the character(s) talking and gives you a dialogue box. That exact scene is the two characters talking after I questioned the Doc's success rate with a given operation he is suggesting to the patient.

I pirated this shit and I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit. The gunplay is extraordinary and possibly light years ahead of Fallout 4. The only bad things are the character design and how ugly the planets are. Bethesda is light years ahead of the rest.

It is good because
1. There are a lot of collectibles and shit to find and exploring the map is enjoyable, especially after you get the boots that let you double jump. You can get the baseball cards, the Science Adventure magazines, the lockboxes/keys, in addition to any other loot. Climbing things and jumping around is actually a major part of the game, if you see a broken down elevator you can repair it with Engineering or jump around with the boots to "climb" your way up, if you see a locked building, sometimes you can jump or crawl around and find another entrance
2. You have to actually focus on a few skills to pass checks or get the perks you want from them, you can't just do everything so it's more of an RPG now
3. There are plenty of skill checks, not just for dialogue but for entering buildings, getting loot, finding objects (similar to the investigation skill in Bloodlines, only you flat out cannot loot certain things without it) or giving some alternative path to reach your objective. Your traits (even the negative ones), perks, and companions can also help with checks
4. The crafting system is less annoying, I was actually regularly breaking things down to make ammo, explosives, and other stuff because of the way the menu is organized it's easy to find what components you need and what you need to break down to get them. Because of this nothing you actually loot is ever truly "useless" you can always break it down into something else
5. You can play in third person now, and the game has its own radio with custom songs and jingles, which is a nice bonus
6. Although it is billed as "anti-capitalist" game it is a little bit more nuanced, the main villain faction of the game, while you can't join them, are basically a religious cult that hates capitalism. However you can still receive quests from them and eventually get a Protectorate companion. You also get a companion who is explicitly pro-Auntie's Choice, and other companions in-between

the guns feel decent this time round, enemies are a bit of a bullet sponge but that's what all fallout games are like
you'd have to choose between whether you wanna be a guns blazing shooter, headshotting sniper or a sneaky stealth shooter though if you want to min/max and specialize as there's 3 skill paths for
>guns - increased gun damage
>observation - increased weak point damage
>stealth - increased stealth damage
each with perks that buff their respective playstyle. I usually swap between assault rifles, sniper rifles and silenced guns in fallout but this time I'm forgoing the weakpoint and stealth builds/perks, making do with whatever my normal guns build gives me
>>
>>724425878
Im usually the semi auto assault guy, not quite sniper elite but definitely popping heads with controlled fire
>>
>>724425878
Honestly observation is mainly a non-combat skill. The weakspot bonus is just that.
>>
>>724426068
same as me then, i start off with sniping or using a silenced weapon to pick off people but end up using shotguns/assault rifles/heavy ballistic weapons for the bulk of the battle and the guns skill tree has the most perks
>>724426167
yeah i have a hunch it'd be like that, im only level 10 and just reached the 2nd world so I can't say how important weakpoint buffs are, I'm still doing 75% damage against unaware enemies and I don't even have a sniper or assault rifle yet
the limited skill and perk points really locks you out if you go for a generalist build, although you can always mod it for more skill points but there's no mod yet for more perk points (else I'd put one into commando and get a free 3rd weapon slot)
>>
This sounds like a bad trade.
>>
>>724426641
nah 50% magazine size is huge, there's an entire perk for that and even then that only affected marksman, assault and sniper rifles. Having 50% magazine size for all weapons without needing to waste a perk point is good
I don't know how all the damage bonuses works but I'm assuming it's additive, so if you have 200% damage bonus from perks+skills then it becomes 160% instead of 120% with the penalty
just levelling guns to 20 gets you +200% damage before you factor in any perks or weapon mods

>the guns are decent this time around
The shock rifle is a massive piece of shit compared to the first games gauss rifle bootleg (which you got within the first 3 hours instead of the first 15). The bolt action and lever gun you're stuck with before it don't do enough damage for their sub 1 shot per second firerate and laughably not enough non stealth damage to be useful on anything but unarmored human enemies. Pistols are the one thing that plays/has ok variety but still suffer from the videogame retardation syndrome of being the high damage weapons. Machineguns are overpowered by picking the one set of perks all guns use. There are more greebles and lights on them than last time and they went real gun but stuff on it instead of fortnight, but watching the mandalorian isn't art design.

They need a balance patch extremely badly but the problems of weapons distribution itself aren't as easily fixable.

Zoomers don't have the mental capacity to question any of this shit, that's why they do it.

Games actually made by people without the use of a streamlined and souless workflow engines like UE, or even worse, chinese tier mobage engines like unity. NES mario has more weight and better movement than garbage like pizza tower and Silksong. Contra Mogs the fuck out of Cuphead.

As an RPG it completely blows TOW and Shartfield out of the water
In terms of writing? Better than TOW by a lot but still not nearly as good as it should be or could be, by a LOT. It blunts its edge with the satire, unironically.

>>724436851
that anons mind is just blown by the game's spicy transgressive take of capitalism le... maybe slightly preferable to dying in a gulag.

Thats the impression I got from seeing vids of this which really turned me off, it seems like avowed 2.0 with the nonstop "look how quirky I am" dialog which I find insufferable.

>>724438489
The 2nd to last thing outer worlds I played was that DLC and the 2nd game definitely is suffering in the comparison. I really, really don't get how they managed to find a very small footing in that DLC then totally lose it in the big budget sequel. Writing team must be completely different.
>>
>>724438892
>Writing team must be completely different.
Has to be, I was hoping the writers for avowed were a separate team that would have nothing to do with OW2. The writing and tone for the second expansion was the only reason I was cautiously looking forward to this so that's disappointing.

First one was just way too short/simple for what it was trying to be, the sequel has addressed most of those issues so far

Played this for a few hours. How did they manage to make it worse than Avowed? OW1 was cringe, this one they toned down the cringe but replaced it with straight up embarrassment. Dialogue talking over itself, ME:Andromeda tier third person and bodies, instead of swimming you walk like if the water isn't there and get sucked into the depths and drown if you go too far. The fucking stealth kill animation. So much of this shit just looks straight up unfinished. Which is weird as they had a lot of it polished in Avowed, just use the same shit. Keep the dodge button, and the enemy "teams" in combat. Oh, and I actively dread reading any dialogue in this game. I was looking forward to the backgrounds and perk dialogue, but the just make things worse.

This is why I pointed out quite obvious, unsubtle things. You can't say that you actually prefer two voice lines playing at the same time, or how they handled swimming, and so on. If OW1 was a tech demo, idk what to call this fucking game. It's not broken per say, it's like it's full of placeholders.

Also, worst writing moment in this game was just after character creation. I picked the roustabout background, and it had the description like "somehow you lucked into a big position, everybody thinks you're a genius, but you just want a job as a cashier". First two conversations? Guy mentions how I always stumble my way to success. Then some woman says how I suck and would be more suited to running a cash register. How low IQ do you have to be? By referencing the fucking meta description of my character, you ruin the whole fucking premise. I'm supposed to be mistakenly thought of being competent, not unanimously thought of as being incompetent but lucky. Fuck. Are the writers retarded?

I'm not telling you that you aren't allowed to dislike it, but you have been going out of your way to call everyone a liar or a shill if they do like it.

unnamed NPCs also look like starfield NPCs now, while also having the avowed lack of auto mocap as they play dialogue lines with animatronic hand waving. I saw an albino nigga with cornrows, truly GoTY.

and the second feels like an early access title. Pacing is worse, perk system is rudimentary and progression is slow/inconsistent, companions lost their customization, map is uglier, map density is nonexistant, weapon progression is worse than that "demo" by a lot.

There still is no corner lean or aim over cover either, which was already unacceptable in the first.

>no + terrible onboarding and weapon distribution
if it's not a one or twotap it's 200 bullets to kill with no in between. heavy armored enemies with an armor bar are resistant to high damage low fire rate guns instead of the opposite, which is incredibly retarded and plays terribly. The whole system and damage source type mechanics seem untested and wrongly implemented. there isn't a color coding or rock paper scissors thankfully where X can only be killed by Y effectively but instead it's more like normal guns are debuffed and everything equally dies to electric. Stealth is also in that annoying place where the AI is "smart" so will agro on non visual proximity to enemies dieing but then also preturnaturally know where you are 90 yards away

I wanted to do the diplomatic solution for the Protectorate boss fight but I selected the dialogue option where I tell Corbin that the boss might try to buy time and manipulate him and when I realized that locked me into the lethal path it was too late, because this game has only 2 quicksave slots and 3 autosaves and my last manual save was 3 hours ago so I ended up killing him in the boss fight even though my build is built around diplomacy (I ended up needing to reload like 20 times)

>But now they've merged without a single mention of their much bigger corporate parents.
They didn't actually, there was a hostile takeover of Auntie's Choice but they've since lost contact with earth because of the rifts, and as a result Auntie's Choice was able to leverage the fact that Auntie was the most senior executive still in this region after being exiled to Tau Ceti or whatever planet Inez is from.
She's not actually in charge, she's full of shit.
