yeah, and not only that i think they misunderstood the appeal of Fallout. They wanted to make their own sci-fi series, and seemingly compete with FO4. Instead, they should have made a western shooter-RPG. Westerns and desert settings are way more interesting and lead to gun autism.

The Obsidian team that made New Vegas hasn't worked for Obsidian in a very long time. The video game development industry has some of the most rapid employee turn-over on the planet.

>Are they retarded?
No. The current staff of Obsidian are incompetent, which is to say that they are like most dev studios.

The Outer Worlds was maximum DEI far-left woke shit in all directions, and TOW2 doubled down on all of that.

Space Western is over done and it's not something I'm into. You could probably do something light sci-fi related, like make a light apocalyptic event occur in America in like 1921, and people in the western states have to vie for control and survival, with the American military remnants being a major force.

The first Outer Worlds was a dogshit game propped up by the games media pushing that it was SO MUCH BETTER THAN FALLOUT 4 while being a hub-based game that is a worse RPG than Fallout 4, with less customization, less content, less roleplaying in regards to character builds, and somehow with worse writing in general. The first Outer Worlds might be the most "Game from that company that made that thing you liked fifteen years ago" game to ever exist. The fact the second one was a wet, silent, overpriced fart isn't a surprise to anyone.

Push it back a century. Napoleon puts the Haitians down quicker and cleaner and isn't so keen on selling Louisiana this time around. This starts an arm race that originally stalled while America was only fighting natives or themselves and you can ramp up the setting quicker to account for it.
Post-Colonial America that never stabilized into proper United States. Just from that alone you could have a shitload of factions to play against each other.

Even if they stealth patched the weapons list to have an assault rifle on the first planet and the lmg you can get 5 minutes after the tutorial the statistically 2nd best weapon in the entire game at killing everything, there would still be fewer unique guns in the whole game then you find on your way to fucking prim.
The first best?
>The same fucking light machinegun, but as a unique
I played outer worlds and saaaarfield for hundreds of hours each, viewing them as 6 and 4/10 respectively, but OW2 I just lost all will to play by the third planet and getting the 1 mechanical gun upgrade I knew from spoilers I'd be using for the next 30 hours. Bad writing , bad gameplay, extremely simplified systems like [gun] making sniping, pistols, and most rifles just flat worse with specialization than automatic weapons, and some of the most tepid XP gimping to force "replay" (of viewing different badly written dialogue on entirely linear quest chains) by never being able to invest in more than 3 trees if you wanted any skill high enough to be used make it just a bad fucking game.

The murder mystery dlc being the only thing obsidian has made truly ok/10 in FIFTEEN years and it being by their fucking C team just left to their own devices truly means the studio is dead. Avowed is shit, outer worlds 2 is shit. They have nothing, not even ips worth cannibalizing.

oh, but I want gun autism. I want those "wild west" firearms, but also those WW1 surplus shit. I want handguns, smgs, and rifles. Napoleonic era firearms don't give me that same coolness factor for me. not accurate, too long to load, and setup.

And Deus Ex (original) upgrade system (no levels, only skills and spells).

Some type of catastrophe around like 1925-1935, all outside communication is down, there's "infected" running amok and humans shattered into various factions and bands with no central government.

Does TOW2's story connect with the first game at all?
>>
>>729425740
Honestly, I have to wonder if the creators of Fallout Nev Vegas even understood their own game and what made the different factions compelling. Yes, the Caesar's Legion is awful, but given how all the previous games had done the legwork of the dangers of technology, then any anti tech faction will come off as a legitimate choice, which makes the Legion compelling as rubbing into the players face: "Yes, technology can be dangerous, but are you truly willing to embrace primitive life and all the brutality it entails."

>>729428764
Deboonk a single thing I said about the games mechanical issues ranjeet. It is inferior to the first in gunplay and even companion mechanics and the first isn't good. An unreal asset store slide animation does not make a modern combat system. There isn't even fucking corner leaning.

>>729428735
Slop is something empty you just consume consume consume without thinking. Like french fries or potato chips. Starfield planets are designed that way. Calling TOW2 slop is incorrect. You can say you hate its style or writing but you have to credit that it’s actually handcrafted RPG and not just endless generated slop. Have some ‘actual’ standards and give the devil its due instead of seeing everything in black and white like a retard.

I feel like the sense of longing for the Old World is one of the key features of Fallout New Vegas, so it really wouldn't be the same style of game if you set it in the Wild West. You're kind of forced to lean scifi or fantasy to get the grand narrative which FNV has.

You know how you search for something on Netflix, and they don't have it, and they instead offer you a bunch of Originals that are basically the same thing you're searching for, but worse?

>>
I liked Outer Worlds 1. Making and planing builds was fun and skill checks come up often enough that I never felt a point was wasted. Props for them for letting me make a INT 1 build that just sends the generation ship into the sun in the end. It has issues though, the writing in particular. Everything is surface level, there is no hidden meaning, nobody lies or has more to uncover. Take the Moonman vendor on the first space station, he keeps spout slogans and company approved quotes. At no point and with no skill points can you ever get him to break character, the joke is only that he talks in corpo and nothing else, there is nothing more to the NPC than saying the lines. Avowed is similar, everything is told straight and it's usually safe and avoiding conflict. Though that game has fantastic exploration and surprisingly good combat, probably because they just added a force multiplier to ragdolls, still never got tired of kicking things.

I actually played OW and OW2.

OW was a 7/10 game overall. It was good enough. I enjoyed the game, and felt compelled enough to finish the story. Character building mechanics were pretty limited and imo the system for perks and skills was incredibly boring. Characters were not interesting.

OW2 is an 8.5/10. It's good, but still not great. The world building is much better, RPG mechanics are greatly improved. Using your skills to interact with the world is much better, and characters are MUCH more interesting than the first game.
HOWEVER, it still doesn't come close to getting you invested into the politics and word as well as New Vegas does.


A huge gripe I have with this franchise is there's too fucking many items that are different in name and model only. They all do the exact same thing, just sometimes they're colored differently. It makes every item blend into a mash of junk.
Also STILL not enough Weapon variety. It needs like 3 times as many different guns and melee weapons.
>>
I was hoping after the first game they would have the experience to flesh the game out more and make it less mid. But they somehow just made a more polished, but still very mid game.
>RPG/Perk system is far to restrictive and punishes you for spreading points
>You can't play versatile, it's either all or nothing or you're just gimping yourself

>Best ending is locked behind maxed speech, literally no other maxed skill effects the ending
>Lack of interesting loot
>Lack of unique loot/gear
There's lots of other things, but overall the game just feels.... uninteresting.

Literally the only things FO4 has going for it is the settlement building - which is an absolute fuck of a poisoned pill since Bethesda obviously used it as an excuse to skip actually developing the Commonwealth as a region - and the power armor system which they crowbarred into the core gameplay loop so hard they had to saddle it with an extra chore so it didn't break the early game balance over its knee (it does anyway).

It's only fun if you mod it a ton.
But once you do it genuinely is a really fun looter shooter.

Ive spent around 600 hours playing it this way.

>>729431889
I believe their entire plan was "make random junk useful"
Which they greatly succeeded in. Both settlements and weapon and armor modding makes Junk loot very good and worth finding.

They're just too short sighted to realize that in their implementation, they made Weapons and Armor limited and boring as fuck.
It also gimped the world super hard, because way too many locations are just blank slates with nameless no personality NPCs instead of interesting settlements

One step forward, two steps back.

Story is nonsensical, carries the Fallout name but has no roleplaying mechanics. What worked for me was treating it as a looter shooter. Since something I actually find Bethesda has done well sine Oblivion is just stumbling over small tidbits that not marked nor have a quest. and the power fantasy of finding a legendary weapon is great, if not fleeting. It has some of the same issues as Dragon's Dogma and newer Zelda games, they put all this work into the world and it's a fun world to explore, but when you start to look for something tangible or want to learn more about the world it can't wait to disappoint you fast enough.

I 100%'ed the first one. It was very mid. I didn't enjoy many of the characters except the Vicar. I did kinda enjoy both dlcs for their "mystery" aspects but I can just go play Shadows of Doubt instead.
Forgot they even made a second one.

What a shock. Obshittian can't do anything without leeching off someone else's work first and they don't have anyone left willing to "work" with them.

No.

Listen, im not gonna bullshit you, yes, some of them are, but its like 3/10 characters. Its not that bad. Looking back, even Fallout 4 had characters like this
>>
It's blatantly unfinished. The only factions that matter are Auntie's Choice and the Order of the Ascendant. All the rest are either unjoinable or you can join them but they just give a handful of sidequests. I really wish Obsidian bothered to finish making the game instead of rushing it out to brag that they released two RPGs in one year.

Sorry but my experience with the first game let me feel that its GAY as FUCK, so I do not care what happens to this shit. Unless I'm wrong and they pivoted their direction for the second one which might be from the trailers I watched but I'm skeptical as all get out.
>>
I played through the entire first game and I don't remember shit about it at all, it was so painfully bland and lame that my brain can't even bother with it.
I'm not falling for it again, even if it was somewhat decent I'm not giving this godawful setting another chance.

I really don't get how they fucked that up after 2 games about collecting trash. They broke Real-time setter too.

Most of them will be laid off before the end of Microsoft's fiscal year. They'll keep a skeleton crew to finish Grounded 2.

>>729428869
Its slop. A cheap asset flip and if its hand crafted, than those hands should be cut off and burned.

This year has actually good RPGs -Tainted Grail, KCD2, more Rogue Trader, Of Ash and Steel.

Awoved and OW2 are just so completely terrible their not even considered worth remembering, like a passing nightmares. Kinda like how Pillars of Eternity was completely erased and forgottten after release of Kingmaker and Divinity

It didnt flop. A games quality isnt always reflected in sales, thats moslty marketings job.
Game reviewed great, so people bought it a lot. Turned out it was pretty whatever and nobody wanted to buy the next one.

OP's points dont matter, 90% of video game buyers are not enganging with twitter posts or GamerWars tm

its not an rpg

The whole reason MS bought Obsidian was to make low-budget Bethesda-esque games. Now that they own Bethesda, there's no reason to keep Obsidian around. They won't close Obsidian, just reassign all the personnel and put all the IP into cold storage.
>>
Avowed was good. The Outer Worlds 2 was good. Sales don't determine quality ( System Shock 2 was a sales flop despite critical acclaim).

Move on with your life and stop seething.

They missed the mark entirely and completely, then.
It looks nothing like it.

That would be the only thing it has in common with Arcanum.
>>
>>729425740

Avowed was like, a 7.5 out of ten game. Really really fun, I loved it! I pirated outer worlds 2 and when I was about 8 hours in I just uninstalled the game because it was so boring I couldn't possibly see myself playing it under any circumstance. It's a shame, Avowed is really fun and that game deserves success and recognition. That one art designer faggot on Twitter literally cost the devs probably tens of thousands of sales due to his stupid bullshit and not keeping his fucking mouth shut, the game was good.b

Outer Worlds 2 is terrible though, somehow it actually seems worse than outer worlds 1 which I also dropped, but I got much further in that game at least.

Obsidian games have no edge anymore.
Pillars was just simplified baldurs gate (worse) when pathfinder literally said fuck being simple for braindeads and everybody loved it.
Awoved and outer worlds are too safe, too sterile and made for women

Shitfeild and outhouse 1&2 are both poorly written but starshit still has space combat and that makes it a little better but outhouses companions aren't as boring. The real problem with both is there lame and gay.

westoids can't make good games to save their jobs

It's even more ironic if you manage to listen what that retard has to say, since he even likes some aspects of it.
Shitposters wouldn't actually try to watch the video, tho, they will see the thumbnail and imagine what the self proclaimed chud has to say about it so that they can use their delusions as arguments.

Horse shit its got every thing wrong with a modern Bethesda title its dumbed down from even fallout 3 witch was dumbed down from 2 massively but it was dumbed down from NV. Its story is so ass it killed any hype I had for anything Bethesda made the radio also is very bad in it. That isn't going into how Bethesda does its level best to yearly add in more bugs and rape the lore of older games with the hollywood whores.
