Just dropped 14 hours between getting off work and clocking back onto work without an iota of sleep on a run of Hollywood Animal where I finally didn't bankrupt myself in the first 2 years and it was a lot of fun.

Not sure how disliking Outer Worlds 1 and not playing the sequel based off how trash the original was lines up with me not liking games.

>>724457602
The gameplay is trash, so telling me to ignore everything and focus entirely on garbage is not an appeal that the game is "good"

Are you sure? In The Outer Worlds 1 you could kill your companions, I don't see why they'd remove that feature in The Outer Worlds 2, that was like one of the most complained about features about Avowed.

>>724457878
Oh so you're saying that it's okay to have a few margins below the highest quality of gameplay, the main ones being combat, movement, and world interaction, as long as it's offering something else to balance out as a part of the genre of the game that it's in? Okay anon that's good to know, so can you tell me another game that allows me to choose a class, in first person, real time, primary focus on gun combat but also optional melee combat, kill every character in the world, even without quests have over 40 hours of locations to explore, that has all of those features, and better gameplay to boot? I'm genuinely really curious. I can think of a few answers myself potentially but I have a feeling giving those answers will force you into a contrarian mental breakdown.

Reminder that the game is available from usual sources and repacks.

I went shotgun, and gave little fucks. Flawmaxed. Got kleptomania, but that doesn't bother me much because the first game was best played genocidally, and not putting up with these fucks nonsense is clearly the way to go.

>>

>Can you kill followers in The Outer Worlds 2 like you could in 1?
They just revive out of combat when they're your companions, but you can also tell them all to fuck off and leave your party so I imagine you can kill them at that point. Hell, one of the companions starts as an enemy that you're tasked with killing, so I imagine a bunch of people might go through that quest without realizing its a companion and just end up killing them

Oh no I agree that Fallout 4 has better gameplay, it also has more content, and most mods make up for any problems that exist in the game, i'm glad that my point, i'm glad that my point about The Outer Worlds 2 broke through at least one Contrarians conditioning on 4chan, to allow them to admit that a Bethesda game has superior gameplay but unfortunately.... it looks like we wont get all of them >>724459410 ....

Regardless, you should try Starfield aswell, it's also a better game than The Outer Worlds 2.

With that being said if I am being completely fair with my argument, I did say "kill every character in the world" which is something you technically can do in Fallout 4 and maybe Starfield with mods but, vanilla you cannot, so in the grand scheme of things, you actually lost either way.
>>
>>724457152
10 skillpoints per level mod

Tried different builds before that 3 times, but in the end decided its pointless and should just have all opportunities. Story in the game is shit so doing mostly exploration.

Its basically OW1 1to1, downgrade in some fields even. Not worth the money.
>>
>>724459410
Not seeing it. Fallout 4 was kind of meh as a fallout sequel. TOW 2 has got some gamplay improvements, but the core fuckups are still completely terrible.

No. I think TOW 1 and 2 is a full tier worse. Neither one is good.

I think a fairer matchup is Starfield vs TOW 1 and 2.
>>
>>724459552
no
guns are downgrade from even OW1, basically theres like 5 basic types and you just slot 3 different mods. The are some uniques and science weapons, but its memes. OW1 had more uniques in first 3 hours than OW2 in first 20.
>>
>>724459634
>I think a fairer matchup is Starfield vs TOW 1 and 2
No because if you've actually played Starfield unlike the majority of this board you'd say it's also a full tier better aswell.
>>
>>724459625
This has nothing to do with contrarianism, Fallout 4 is a barely functional shitty game with a terrible story, terrible RPG elements, barely passable combat, and nothing that made any of the previous fallout games good. And all in exchange for a dogshit settlement building mechanic.

Fallout 4 is a terrible game and you should be embarrassed for defending it
>>
>>724459552
>I have two questionerinomundos
>is the story interesting?
FUCK no. The writer's "intended" ethics and solutions are telegraphed so goddam hard that it feels almost jack chick tier at times. The only saving grace is that you're allowed to break shit, and the game won't fail too badly.

>are the guns fun?
No. This is not a game for tight gameplay. There are a few meme weapons.
>>
>>724459684
So, what's your call for a good matchup with TOW1 and 2, aside from avowed. Yikk? Forsepoken?
>>
>>724459552
>is the story interesting?
>are the guns fun?
Story so far is much better than the first game, the factions are more morally grey and you get a lot more options for how you handle things

Weapons have good punch to them as well, and I haven't found many of the science weapons yet but the ones I have found are a lot of fun to use.

>>
>>724459698
Fallout 4 is great sandbox exploration/survival game with settlement building, gathering resources, and still world filled with more and better to explore locations than both of OW1 and 2.

Yes, its shit story and rpg. No, its not a bad game to play.

>>724459771
>lot more options for how you handle things

>>724459767
Meh, The Outer Worlds 1 and 2 really is just Fallout New Vegas without mod support, worse writing, and probably less content too? Pretty sure you can 100% 1 in 40 hours, 2 prob is between 40-80 but i'm not truly sure about that. It has it's niche as a game you play when you've already played everything else and don't have anything left to play, personally I do like some of the RPG mechanics and the ability to kill all the characters in the world, regarldess of the DEI ultra slop, that feature makes it somewhat bearable and gives you freedom.

Avowed can't really be compared because they actually took AWAY freedom in that game, no idea why.

>>724459823
>>724459806
Fallout 4 literally barely functions and I can't believe there are retards that unironically like the game like you two

>>724459961
In the real world Fallout 4 is still one of the most played and talked about singleplayer games across all platforms, only on /v/ are there these pockets of contrarians who shit on the game constantly because it isn't as horrible as whatever old objectively worse slop they wish it was.
>>
>>724459506
I have 250ish hours into Starfield but the game is highly flawed and not in a fun way.

The entire game itself, the story and everything is based around an infinite loop of new game plus to replay and unlock more shit.

I didn't get through the first loop and I'm not sure what they're wanting you to replay because there isn't anything there. They chose the most boring setting as in you hear about this great war, and your only interaction with it are dealing with boomer mercenaries from when it happened, seeing mechs you never actually get to pilot or even experience watching someone else pilot in game in a random proc genned graveyard that was cool until you went through the layout a 2nd time on another planet.

I didn't last long enough to play and beat DLC1 before I needed the hard drive space on my 1TB SSD and had to uninstall it for another game.

Bethesda being owned by Microsoft now closely followed all their guidelines on micro transactions, and post game content. Leading to barely anyone working on a 2nd DLC and none of the core issues in the game has been addressed or engoodened like cyberpunk and no man sky did.

I want to like Starfield, a space game needs to have the scale Starfield did, and their autistic dedication to the solar system is appreciated, however it was clear they lacked any real direction on how to make the gameplay work, and when it came to crunch time that led to endless compromises on what tested well with focus groups over their original plan.

It's a half baked game full of compromises in none of the right places.

Last time I played Fallout 4 I couldn't actually explore because the texture LODs were all fucked up and it was loading the wrong ones constantly. So I would be clipping through the floor textures and couldn't tell if the doors were actually open or not because it was all stuck using the low level of detail models that its supposed to use when you're super far away.

This shit still hasn't been patched out of the game after 10 fucking years, Fallout 4 is so ass its unreal.

I denounce vishnu, and all pagan troon deities, can you say the same? Probably not because contrarianism on /v/ ironically enough is closer to a pagan cult, which is why whenever ANYONE ever steps out of line, the cultist troon freaks start SCREAMING that there's a heretic among us. The thing is though, over the last 12 ish years, that sentiment is becoming more and more disliked and hated.

Don't speak as if this cult doesn't exist either, we all know the talking points "Bethesda games BAD, except Morrowind, Fallout games BAD except 1, 2 and NV, Dark Souls 2 bad!, MGS4 and V BAD!"

Like we literally know the exact games that are on the /v/ troon contrarian cult "okay to like" list and "okay to dislike" list, thankfully, it's getting less and less like this, every day, because most of us realize, most of the games that are being called bad, are usually not only good, but better than the ones that are being called good on /v/.

I'll stick to the old mantra that existed back in the day. Always do the opposite of what /v/ says.

Its wider as in - has more content, but its as shallow. In fact ,some of the quests of original seemed more fleshed out than this.

Ironically, it DOES feel like Fallout NV more than original, but a shitty Fallout NV full of cringe writing and zero immersion. Mechanically you litterally do things you do in Fallout , but none of it matters since everything is a joke.

It would be a lot better game with exact same mechanics and even same quests, but in better setting and more serious story.

The writing of the first one was so atrocious its why I don't wish to go to the second one.

Parvati is written as a good character but that really is the farthest from reality when you can murderhobo the mayor in your first interaction ever with both Parvati and the fucking mayor and she'll kill his body guards and accept "I'm too retarded to handle my emotions" as a response if you have low IQ for why you did it.

Which means not only did the writers envision a scenario where you go in guns blasting the Mayor and decided the best characterization for Parvati was to have her shoot his bodyguards. People from the town she grew up in her entire life, for a green haired goblin joker man with 2 IQ she just met for the first time literally 2 seconds ago on the elevator ride.

In fallout if you did something like that the companion would start shooting you and you'd be locked out of their quest chain.

I actually did laugh, cause you get this for going in and out of sneak too often and I thought this was really clever. Every time I crouch down or stand back up my knees make an audible cracking sound.

This is a hell of a lot more creative than the flaws they gave you in the first one, which usually boiled down to taking/dealing extra damage to specific types of enemies and not much else.

Oh FUCK OFF. You're an absolute retarded contrarian whose entire existence is about slurping reddit's cock.

It's an OBJECTIVE truth anyone who played those game will know, which is why everyone with 80+ IQ does eventually agree. You simply can't fight the truth.

But post 2018 there is a huge influx of little reddit bitchass boys who at best never played those games and parrot retardation, and at worst are too stupid to have taste and tries their hardest to redeem those bad games like some pajeet retard

People are losing their jobs. People with families. People with children. People upon whom others depend to put clothes on their back and food on their table. Now they have nothing. Many of them will have to take jobs out of desperation at reduced pay which will impact their quality of life. They will have to move across the country. They will have to sell their homes at a loss. They will have to pull their kids out of school in the middle of the year. And yet here you are on the asshole of the internet gloating about it, conjoined by a chorus of equally pathetic shitheels who have also accomplished nothing in life. And why? Because these people made a game you did not like. As if that is such a fucking crime. But no, it's not enough that you did not support the game. You had to take it a step further. You had to trash it at every opportunity. You had to discourage others from supporting it. There are so many talented individuals in this industry who grow disillusioned and quit because of people like you. The bitterness. The spitefulness. The hatred. There are supportive people out there but they are drowned out by the negativity. This website is a festering shitpile and people like you are mysteriously drawn to it. You need to take a step back and reevaluate your life. Ask yourself why you take so much joy when others encounter misfortune. Does it make you feel better? Does your life finally have a purpose? Do you feel fulfilled? Do your parents tell you how proud they are of you? I hate you. I fucking hate you. And I don't mean that in the "I think you are a fucking dickhead" sense but in the "I loathe the mere fact that you are allowed to exist another miserable day" sense. I hope you find yourself in the same situation someday. And I hope someone gloats about it on the internet. And others join in celebration. Just like you are doing right now. I will be there when it happens. And I will laugh my ass off at you. Fuck you. Just fuck you.

Just because reddit is less contrarian than /v/ doesn't mean it isn't also contrarian; you might be a radical anarchist, but they're still "Scholarly communists". By definition my takes cannot be contrarian, because most align with the general public's sentiment.
>Fallout 3 and 4 are shit, DS2 is OBJECTIVELY shit, Oblivion and Skyrim are OBJECTIVELY shit
Except objectively these are all better than every game before them, even vanilla, and the reason is simple: predecessors had worse gameplay, it's ALWAYS that simple. Now, would I say those earlier games are shit? Maybe for Dark Souls 1 yes: it's unfinished trash, overpraised by people who've pretended to play it and it being babbies first souls like, and if they'd played Demon's Souls (niche PS3 game nobody did), they'd know Demon's Souls was more finished, fun, and enjoyable than DS1, and DS2 was basically Demon's Souls 2, better than both in every way. That said, the more steamlined and polished experience of Bloodborne, 3, and Elden Ring are all better aswell, in that order, as new games tend to beat predecessors. But DS1 is praised nefariously for the same fake reasons as Morrowind, or Fallout 1/2 particularly New Vegas because this of this site's cult, or games like VTMB1, Dragons Dogma 1 (dunno if still okay to like), or obscure shit like Planescape, whatever, uses these as tools, weapons, anchor points like a Muslim's Dawah script to shit on objectively better newer games and signal you're in the contrarian crowd that likes these worse "niche" and "less popular" games to fit in.

It's pathetic, and frankly, you and people like you have been pathetic on this website for a long long time.

>>724464840
Leadership is for companion builds and both it and companions fucking sucks ass without mods, replace it with hacking/lockpicking/engineering as you want at least one for exploration. Lockpicking let's you pickpocket so I went for that
The maximum character level is 60, plus a couple points if you do something like brilliant or go for the flaw that gives +1 skill point but forces you to put it into your lowest skill, so you realistically can only max 3 skills in vanilla (I downloaded a mod that gives +3 skill points per level so I could also max engineering and craft my own armor and weapons)
Lucky is the best perk, theres like 30% of story objectives where lucky bypasses any skill check
Brilliant is good for the extra skill points but the specialisation part is useless
Dumb is great fun, its not a 1 Int build like Fallout but it comes up fairly often and let's you feign ignorance
Speech is speech, let's you sweet talk more people as usual
>>
>>724465178
*Maximum character level is 30, maximum number of skills is 60
>>
>>724465221
Oh, wait what the fuck, levels cap at 30?

Also maximum number of skills doesn't necessarily cap at 60, you can take flaws and shit that give you more skill points per level
>>
>>
>>724465269
Character level is 30, skills cap at 20, total skill points without flaws and stuff is 60
The skill that gives extra skill point per level forces you to be a generalist as you must level the lowest level skill. You get more skill points the earlier you take it but I dont like that condition
>>

>The skill that gives extra skill point per level forces you to be a generalist as you must level the lowest level skill. You get more skill points the earlier you take it but I dont like that condition
Apparently the main thing with this flaw is you want to pick a few skills and exclusively put points into those while leaving others at 0, because you only need to evenly spread your points among the skills with points actually invested into them.

I unfortunately fucked up and didn't realize this until it was too late, so now I've been cucked into being a generalist, but its kinda whatever, I'm planning to replay the game again anyway so I'll just hyper specialize in skills on other runs

Drop leadership for speech, I've not seen a single leadership check after 10 hours
There's also a perk that gives +2.5% damage per speech so you can get 50% at maximum level

I would honestly say keep speech and drop leadership

>>724465636

>>724465536
The way this game actually expects you to specialize in skills keeps catching me off guard. I'm used to games like Fallout 3 and 4 being babby mode games where you're only expected to have minimal investments in skills to be able to do basically everything. Meanwhile this game is constantly turning around and saying "lmao guess you should have really put points into lockpicking huh?"

I'm trying to decide which skill to lock for the Dumb perk
I was going for a Stealth build so Hacking, Explosives, Hack, Meele, Medical and Science.
Is Hacking used to open doors and access areas?
Should i go Stealth Guns or Stealth Meele?
>>
>>724465820
Yeah I've been getting totally fucked by it. I originally wanted to do a Speech/Diplomacy run and was going to focus on non-violent solutions to shit, but my Speech skill has been stuck at 8 since the first planet or something like that, so I kinda had to abandon that plan and just accept that I'm a jack of all trades master of none now.

At least its leaving me with lots of shit to look forward to being able to do when I replay it. This run I've managed to convince Auntie's Choice and The Order to work together, so for the next one I'll probably do a full science/engineering/professor build and side with the order, and then if I still have any gas left in the tank I'll probably do a third run eventually where I go all in on melee and do a dumb/psychopath run for Auntie's Choice
>>
>>724465829
It's probably because in Outer Worlds 1 the skill and speech checks were comically low. Think the highest I saw by end game was speech 8
Meanwhile in 2 the game scales the skill checks more severely, I'm in the 2nd planet and the skill checks are already 10+. If you dont focus solely on levelling a small number of skills you get the double hit of
>not built for X
>too underlevelled for Y

>>724465953
>Is Hacking used to open doors and access areas?
Yeah fairly frequently, you can also use it to reprogram mechs and security shit to change the targetting parameters and shit like that, also lets you do shit like stealing bits from bank terminals and shit like that.

Guns and Melee are both good options, but melee is probably more fun for a stealth build

"Paypig early release". Promotion is weak, because they're counting on TOW1's rep such as it is, they're in a chopping mood, and also it's gamepass bait anyways.
Game is ass, but if you liked 1, you'll do fine with this too.

God damnit I'm excited to do a dumb run, this seems way better than taking witty.
Witty just makes your character say marvel movie quips.
>>
>>724465953
A couple skills are opposites of each other so if you pick one you can lock the other
>Melee - Guns
>Hacking - Lockpicking - Engineering
The ones I would guarantee locking for dumb are leadership and explosives, companions suck and explosives dont become good until end game
I didnt lock observation despite observation sucking because theres a gun perk that needs 1 in observation
I also locked medical because the game punished excessive healing, so youd just want more armor and health
Hacking is like Hacking in Fallout, used for computer terminals and mechs

Like the first game
I'm already feeling the lack of guns, enemies are already tanky and I dont have any choice for a better rifle than the starting cowboy repeater (which is too weak) or the sniper rifle (not great for mid range fights)

>>724467448

>>
>>724467448
At least theres more types, although it means im stuck with pretty shit guns in Dorado
>>
>>724457152

So what is the verdict, is it worth the $70?
I thought the first one was meh and I played it for free on gamepass.
>>
>>724467978
First game was shit, 2nd game is an improvement but NPCs and worlds are still ugly and it runs badly. Need to beat the game for a final opinion but its not worth €70
Game is also buggy, it doesnt track quests properly so sometimes first time cutscenes will replay or quests flat out dont get added to your journal and tracked. Ive had this last one now and I need to see if it means I cant turn it in because the quest NPC doesnt remember Im doing a quest for him

>>724467854
>What makes them different, how much actual gameplay variety is there to those guns?
Well, you can get a sword that gives you rhythm game prompts to chain a combo while fighting, there's a shotgun that shoots explosive advertising drones that follow enemies around, there's a slot machine hammer that rolls the slots every 3 attacks, there's beam guns that shoot chain lightning, pistols that shoot mini rockets, a hammer that you can load with shotgun shells, pistols that shoot balls of goo, and a rifle that shoots bouncing goo that can home in on the enemy if you lock onto them, etc

The game has a lot of really creative weapons
>>
>>724469395
Medical is a really good one to take yeah, it seems to come up fairly often.

Though, I think with the way this game is designed you're just going to have to miss out on shit. It really encourages repeat playthroughs, so I wouldn't worry too hard about what you're missing this time around

Yes, I thought Outer Worlds 1 was bad and I played and beat Starfield on launch, which was also bad

On a related note, how come sincerity is dead in modern WRPGs? It feels like almost every line of dialogue has this veneer of quippiness to it making it very hard to care about ANY of the dialogue. If you look at New Vegas, it had an actual balance to it. "Serious" dialogue felt serious but then when the game wanted to be light hearted and funny it also worked well. Like in Outer Worlds even robots can't just be "robots", they must say something "witty" and "funny".

Game balance is absolute shit though. Enemies don't respawn, so the only way to get exp is first time kills, missions, and skill checks but you never have the skills for all the skill checks so less exp. Weapons all have static damage values but enemy hp scales per area, and you can only increase it through select skills so if you focus those you can't do most of the skill checks which means less exp and so on and so on.

If there is a quest that isn't killing things, it's pixel hunting something on a crate or on the ground that you need to look at, or some generic "the 2 moons spin around what, then add that to how many stars" shit.

You BG3 era normalfaggots are insufferable. No essential NPCs isn't the be all end all of RPGs, it's the baseline minimum for an RPG. Fucking munchkin trannies having two interaction modes in any RPG they play - having sex and killing people. If I kill all the shit characters I'll just be left in an empty shit game.

This game doesn't really do endings that way, its more like New Vegas where you get a slideshow that tells you about the consequences of your decisions, there's no real hard set good/bad endings.

I guess you could argue that the faction you decide to side with might lead to some sort of good/bad/very bad ending. I went the route of having The Order and Auntie's Choice merge together, but you can also choose to just back one of them specifically, or back none of them at all and do some sorta independent run. But I don't really think these result in strictly good/bad endings, thats kinda going to be up to you

Inez is a bit of a weenie, and probably the weakest of the remaining companions, but Niles, V.A.L.E.R.I.E, Marisol and Tristan were great.

They all start a bit one note in their personality, but they grow as you progress through the story with them based on the choices you make which is nice.

Well, what didn't you like about them in particular? Sounds to me like you didn't do any of their quests and they're all still acting the same way they were when you first recruited them.

Your critiques of most of them aren't even anything in the first place, you're just saying reddit buzzwords and acting like thats a meaningful critique of them.
>>
>>724498809
Feel free to ask about any specifics if you want, I just finished playing a 50ish hour run of the game and I'm in the mood to talk about it, so I'm open to giving more specific details if you want any

It's good, but unfortunately the writing is so terrible to not make it enjoyable. It does have the option for being a violent retard.

But for the blind players. Pick a direction and focus on it. Don't expect easy generalist options everywhere.

You DID get the pet crabble right anons?

>>724467978
>So what is the verdict, is it worth the $70?
I just beat it today, pirated it mind you, and I would say no.
I liked the game quite a bit, but I also feel like they left some shit on the table for DLC, so personally I'm not planning on actually buying it until whatever expansion packs they have planned are out and I can get the whole kit and kaboodle for like 30-40 bucks.

Still worth playing as it is now, but you might as well just pirate it and see how you feel about it before spending money.
I will say that this game is much more replayable than the first one, as in there's going to be a lot of shit you won't be able to do all in one playthrough. The campaign is also much longer than the first game. I remember beating the first one in something like 15 hours, and by the time I hit the end credits my file had about 45 hours, so if you do buy it there's more value there than the first one had imo.
>>
>>724467978
>is it worth the $70

do you even fucking need to ask?
>>
>>724499796

Nah, I think the majority of them are white. There are some brown people around, but its also a corporate dystopian future so I don't know what you're expecting.

Yes, but not enough to give a fuck about. But then again, you saw the pic of companions and didn't immediately tap out.

No I don't really care, I just thought you were actually here to talk about games in earnest for a moment before realizing you're just here because you remember shitposting about the first one so you're going to shitpost in every thread you see about this game too.
The only thing I'm annoyed about is you not using a tripcode so I can filter your posts and ignore you.
>>

Play outer WILDS. not worlds.

Game is not improved enough to give a fuck. But if you liked 1 enough, just do 2.

sincerity makes you too vulnerable to cultural disruption attacks. And there's too many people on the Rick and Morty quirk chungus role, who will want to be jester to anyone playing it straight, as you see from anyone from the Critical Role school of play. Also, nu obsidian are intellectual midgets who can't even hit the references of New Vegas.

There's also an incompetent brown lady, and in that same area where the incompetent business partner kills himself a woman throws herself into the gears of the machine because she's a brainwashed idiot.

You're so hyperfixated on shit you want to be angry about that you're blind to everything else.
Of course you're only going to see brown people if you are hyperfixating on them and don't even notice the non-brown characters.

Disagree. They ripped this shit off from Fallout with the nuclear reactor. The speech check ending is the good ending. You either kill yourself, or one of your companions with most endings. The dumbass ending is dumb where you do jack shit and everyone dies.

They actually did put work into the endings here so it isn't as dumb as fallout where you have a goddam radiation immune super mutant and a ghoul, and yet you have to pull the fucking lever.

There's similar, and then there's the exact goddam thing. Everyone dies unless someone sacrifices themselves defusing the nuke or flying the spaceship, plus bonus slideshow.

Nah, like she's insufferable. Her entire shtick is that she likes stabbing people and all she does is ramble about how she's gonna murder/torture people and acts like an edgelord from 2007, she's also completely retarded and the story for her questline is probably the worst in the entire game.

She's just a flaming turd of a character, on repeat playthroughs I'm likely just going to kill her instead of recruiting her.
