Outward 2 closed beta starts today and the game releases in a few weeks.
did they make it fun this time?
>>739612426Are you implying that the first game was not insanely fun?
I am filtered by the first one, simply because enemies take 20 hits and you die in 4, and there's no hit stun, they can just keep attacking forever randomly with no chance of avoiding.
>>739612718You pretty much have to use magic if you dont know enemy attack patterns. Shields are also a good choice. And guns start out weak but get strong. I hope they relax with the crafting a bit and improve the loot system. The diagram system is pretty retarded in my opinion it could be fun but in the first game it was just shit.
Apparently i got accepted to the playtest in january and completely missed it, cool. The first game was good, but sequels to janky cult classics in an attempt to improve almost always miss the essence of what made the original good, so my hopes are not high.
>>739613048I dont think anyone liked the jank aspect in outward though right? Pretty sure we all agree that the game would objectively be better if it played more like ds1 or even 2.
>>739612718Iirc u have to break their stance to stun them. The game is about breaking the system to your advantage. Use traps, get melee skills, use ranged weapons and kite, use magic like the flame thrower spell, lead enemies into each other, abuse loading zones.I'm so hyped for this play test bros. I hope I can get some time to play it.
I'm having a blast!
>>739613453Did you get your key yet? Mine isn't showing up.....
>>739612327Why would i play this after the dogshit that was 1?
>>739612327I started playing the first one a week ago.Need to stop loot hoarding because trips to and from dungeons with all my crap is painfully slow.I do like that you can work out similar recipes once you've purchased one of the set.
>>739612327This and eventually Kenshi 2 will get me to buy a $9000 lower midrange PC. Can't w8 m8.
Didn't even know they were making a sequel. My and my bro randomly picked this up during COVID and had a blast together. Guess I'll check it out
>>739612718Outward is all about preparation and stacking buffs. You can't just run towards someone and start swinging. Craft food and options with health regen, attack and def buffs etc. >>739612327Very exciting for this but I don't buy Early Access games. Hope I don't have to wait 2+ years for the 1.0.
Fuck off shill
>>739614391Oh come on. I dont buy early access games either but this is not the same as a path of exile 2 or some shit like that where the game is just empty and you have to wait years for the actual game to be released
So do the emails come out when cbt starts or am I a cuck that has already missed out?
>>739612327is it woke?
>>739612327loved O1.O2 looks questionable...
>>739613373I was going to agree with you up until you brought Fromslop into it.
>>739616217It's not a gacha so yes it's woke.
>>739616798The joke is that virtually every gacha gets post-release censhorship.
>yet another survivalcrafting slopwhy should I play your survival crafter in particular?
Played the first one very briefly and the combat felt very off, you would just stare and strafe the enemy until it finally attacked and taking the initiative meant getting fucked.And there's the baffling decision to give your co-op buddy ZERO rewards and progression for completing anything.
>>739616798i take that as a yes
>>739616748It was clearly inspired by dark souls, as most games are now.if we can keep outwards magic system, the back pack mechanic, the stamina and health mechanic, and add parrys maybe 2 I frames while rolling, improved rolling and back stabs this could be indie game of the years.
>>739617497There is a female and a black person in the first 10 minutes. Though the black guys story doesnt play out so well.
>>739617497the first one wasn't "woke"
Just got my key. Let's see how it runs on a legion go... My hopes aren't high
>>739613453based blast haver
>>739617497There's quite a few black people in the first game but iirc the blacks are the desert people which is an area you can go so it makes sense.There's no gender shit no homo shit no politics whatsoever. There are 3 main factions and their beliefs all contrast with each other in kind of interesting ways. There's barely a story it's just a based adventure game.
>>739617209>give your co-op buddy ZERO rewardsI dropped O1 because of this brain-dead design decision. And I hope I can read somewhere that they improved this highly new and innovative feature (co-op) in O2.Overall, the game sounds like a really fun idea and completely up my alley, but in reality it's restrictive, slow, boring, unrewarding, empty, and demands extensive knowledge to begin with, which I do not really vibe with. I had more fun and progression with Gothic, and that game also teaches you basically nothing.
>>7396191282 crashes to desktop in the first 10 minutes. Runs like shit on the potato settings
>>739612327is there bikini armor? if not fuck off
