is this game disliked only because there's no romance?
it's probably disliked because it's shit and nobody asked for it
>>746003425No it's because it's the sequel to a mediocre game that marketed itself as "From the creators of Fallout" only to be less around equal quality to Bethesda's Fallout games.
i dropped it because of bad optimizationgot to the new vegas planet and my pc turned into a jet engine
>>746004665More or less* lol
>>746003425guns feel like shit. despite all the other things wrong with this game, bad gameplay is an unforgivable sin
>>746003425The story in it is extremely boringObsidian peaked with their writing 20 years ago. Everything since has been new vegas style muh faction shit and people have gotten sick of it
It is aggressively ok in a sea of better options.
the open world was worse than open world f2p mobile games from 15 years ago, not even jokingit was barren and nonexistent. they just took microsoft's money and scammed them, just like with avowed and all the npcs are static and non reactive and no interaction with any environments like the trashy double fine slop game that bombed and was shat out in a weekend, everyone was grifting MS because they were printing blank checks for any retard who was willing to churn out pure dog shit for them
>>746003425I didn't give it a chance. OW1 was too boring. I'm easy to please, and it's rare for me to be bored enough to stop mid-session and just uninstall.There is a chance that OW2 is good, but I doubt it.
The first game was already bad enough, even the starting area is so aggressively mediocre with all the lore it tries to set up.
>>746003425Does OP guzzle hiv poz semen by the barrel?Seriously OP. What were you really trying for here?
>>746003425might be the best game ever but I cant be bothered cause the first one was boring, same with kingdom come
>>746005339not everything has to be about politics
>>746005339holy fuck those clothes
>playing an anti-corpo game from a corpolmao
>>746005339I enjoyed the first game but seeing this shot is why I didn't get the 2nd one.
>>746005339this might sound weird but they don't look like characters designed for a game, they look like cosplayers in a game that has nothing to do with their costumes.
>>746005443Correct. You're the first person to mention it in this thread. >>746005756Not weird at all. The fashion designers who made that shit? They're the weirdos.
>>746003425It's probably disliked because it's trash and the closest Obsidian has ever come to making a good game was fucking Dungeon Siege 3 of all things.
>>746003425Replacing VATS with SLOWMO was fucking gay, also the gunplay was terrible, also the levels/hubs/worlds/whatever you want to call them were puny
>>746003425no because it sucks
>>746003425A mistake from Spencer's time. It's a good thing the jeeta won't be giving millions of dollars for this kind of crap anymore.
>>746006073Because the team releases regularly and on budget, they didn't fire them all. But that one dude who was the art director on avowed is definitely gone. I think they're working on a new Grounded.
Tbh i didn't like the first one because i couldn't make Dingo Egret from ZoE2 despite how simple his character design is, does the second game at least have better character creation?
>>746006073Spencers problem was that he assumed everyone was working all the time and was charitable to lazy donothings with bad ideas.Asha is way too late to actually course correct but at least we might get a fucking game or two before Microsoft decides they're done dicking around with "Xbox"
>>746005978Personally i hated the fact they gave it a lore reason.You don't just go berserk/activate deadeye, you're actively giving yourself brain damage by using it.
>>746005339What were they thinking?
>>746003425the fact that outer worlds got a fucking sequel at all is proof that the great flood can't come soon enough
>>746010158The art director at the company, or maybe it was the B team went on twitter to insist they were going to work extra hard to make sure the chuds hated the game. Not that anyone else would like the game, just that chuds would hate the game.
>>746010246OW got sequel because it sold well on the "Fallout creators" hype Obsidian leaned heavily into when FO76 pissed a lot of FO fans off.
>>746010246>>746011196Getting a sequel based on sales is fine. Completely writing off the feedback as from angry chuds has damaged their brand.
>>746011275Hopefully they learn some lessons from Avowed and OW2 sales. I even liked Avowed. hahaha who am I kidding
>>746003425sexo
>>746003425Not being able to romance Outer Worlds characters is actually a feature
